Mabon
Autumn Equinox, 2nd Harvest, September 21st

Mabon, (pronounced MAY-bun, MAY-bone, MAH-boon, or MAH-bawn) is the Autumn Equinox. The Autumn Equinox divides the day and night equally, and we all take a moment to pay our respects to the impending dark. We also give thanks to the waning sunlight, as we store our harvest of this year’s crops. The Druids call this celebration, Mea’n Fo’mhair, and honor the The Green Man, the God of the Forest, by offering libations to trees. Offerings of ciders, wines, herbs and fertilizer are appropriate at this time. Wiccans celebrate the aging Goddess as she passes from Mother to Crone, and her consort the God as he prepares for death and re-birth.

Various other names for this Lesser Wiccan Sabbat are The Second Harvest Festival, Wine Harvest, Feast of Avalon, Equinozio di Autunno (Strega), Alben Elfed (Caledonii), or Cornucopia. The Teutonic name, Winter Finding, spans a period of time from the Sabbat to Oct. 15th, Winter’s Night, which is the Norse New Year.

At this festival it is appropriate to wear all of your finery and dine and celebrate in a lavish setting. It is the drawing to and of family as we prepare for the winding down of the year at Samhain. It is a time to finish old business as we ready for a period of rest, relaxation, and reflection.

May your Mabon be memorable, and your hearts and spirits be filled to overflowing!

 

Full Singing Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Singing Moon (Celtic) at 26* Pisces will culminate Sept 19, 2013 4:14am PDT/ 1:14am EDT.

This Full Singing Moon is about looking deeply into your own inner looking glass. Who did you want to be when you grew up, and are you making out okay or do you need to back up and revise a little. What mistakes need to be cast adrift. What do you need to change about you. How do you go back to living genuine days that turn into authentic years. How do you reopen your mind’s eye and creativity. Your talents and skills, are you using them. This Full Moon is looking into your secret aspects and casting light on what needs to come back and enliven your life. This moon is not about love or other people, it’s about your understanding of your instincts, survival mechanisms and what makes you who you are…Coming as close as we can to the soul’s destiny and what goals you have chosen in this life.

It’s never too late to take up a musical instrument, learn to dance, or taking classes on any subject. Until we are off the planet, learning and study keeps us youthful and motivated to participate in the every day world. The way to work our spirit is to have an idea of what we want and why we want it, voicing our desires and moving towards the goal. But every little vision starts in the darkness, whether it ever see’s the light of day is for us to encourage ourselves into confidence. Of course many of our ideas that lay around in the shadows aren’t realistic, but when did practicality ever have anything to do with a dream coming true.

Journal Questions:

What do you feel the looking glass is for you

1. Are you seeing a self-made movie
2. Are you feeling fearful or fulfilled about your future
3. Explain your feelings
4. Is it a knowing and deep trust that you have a looking glass and can measure the future
5. Or are you listening to yourself

Are you feeling mystified

• why

How can you get unstuck

1. Voice your opinions
2. Time management
3. Study skills
4. Move your body in action

 

 Is there a secret wish you would like to see come to light

• Why

Is your life meaningful in

• Love
• Career
• Job
• Health
• Relationships
• Friendships
• Happiness
• Exercise

   

 Within your spirit and the looking glass, how can you enhance your life – be fanciful if you like

• Spiritually
• Emotionally
• Intellectually
• Materially
• Physically

When we spark our inner light, and recognize the miracle of our creation – we can be born of many talents. Every area of our lives should be fulfilled. It is the bounty of the earth, and our birth right. We may not be able to run ourselves ragged by being perfectionists, but the few skills, talents and hobbies we know will bring joy into our well-being. There is no trying to have a good to great life, we create every day with our thoughts and actions. Sorce to be…

And a quote from the biggest dreamer of us all:

“A person should set his goals as early as he can and devote all his energy and talent to getting there. With enough effort, he may achieve it. Or he may find something that is even more rewarding. But in the end, no matter what the outcome, he will know he has been alive.” ~Walt Disney (American motion-picture Produce. 1901-1966)

Sedona Mystic Training
with Tara Sutphen
Oct 19 & 20, 2013

http://tarasutphen.com/41.html

The Mystic Training is learning to sorce.  An occult power class to learn “Sorcery” — how to “sorce” answers and awareness as in the ancient Egyptian Mystery Schools.  You will learn to use the power and energy of the Universe and to be at one with that power.  Tara will help you to unblock your psychic centers and assist you to make contact with your Spirit Guides and Higher-Self, to channel, automatic write, use unique Tarot techniques, and access the path of your true destiny — opening to the deepest and most powerful part of yourself.  We’ll also tap into excellence and merit through the exploration of psychic connection with the other side. Insight leads us out of vagueness.  Not everyone seeks to decipher past blunders or catch a glimpse of the future as it might unfold, but those who do want to search for meaning to their dilemmas and gain confidence to live an important and rewarding life. Opening the five senses leads to deeper-consciousness.

 
 

Learning to manifest the splendor in all things, we want our relationships, love, success, happiness, family, great health, money, knowledge, wisdom to be the best it can be.  Tara will help you unblock your psychic centers and assist you to make contact with your Mystics, Spirit Guides and Higher-Self for guidance. Included: Meditations, Life-Force Activation, Sorcing techniques, class discussions, and clarification. Join Tara and a small group of fellow travelers who will work together to create a magical and mystical weekend filled with deep learning of personal and universal mysteries. Tara Sutphen is a modern Master of the occult sciences, having proved over and over again her ability to communicate with the dead, to obtain psychic answers, and predict coming events.

True Nature of An Adult Relationship
By Diane Harvey White

How do we begin having an adult relationship with our parents? And why is it such a difficult transition to make? The teenage years are so focused on cutting the ties and being considered an adult, but I don’t remember feeling particularly adult and I know my parents wouldn’t have thought of me that way. Yet I wasn’t a child either and they at least did me the service of not treating me as one. So what defines this realignment with the people who brought us into the world? A mutual sharing of ideas? Respect for each others opinions? Or coming to terms with the decisions they made on our behalf with the knowledge they had at the time?
It’s popular to think that our parents are wholly responsible for any emotional hurt that we may suffer, but as parenthood doesn’t come with a handbook can they always be found guilty for simply approaching life in the only way they thought possible? Or for repeating the upbringing they had themselves?
As a child I was pretty scared of my father. He was always angry, seemingly with me. I never seemed to be good enough. He yelled a lot and if any phrase summed up how I thought he viewed me, it was “put a smile on your face”. He never attended any of my ballet shows, parents evenings, or art exhibitions and his actions showed me he had no interest in the things I loved. He made no effort to know me at all and to be honest, I did wonder what it would be like having no father, because he was never there for me and certainly not emotionally. As I grew older, I resented him terribly, hated the way his lack of involvement had made me feel inadequate. And as I entered my adult years, I realised I had no constructive way of dealing with anger. I didn’t know how to stand up for myself and express my annoyance without completely breaking down. I found myself dating men I didn’t much like, but couldn’t say no, because I didn’t want to hurt their feelings and thus provoke their anger.
For a time I was hugely angry with my father. It really consumed me and the slightest mention of family relationships would be like a fire starter beneath me. I was totally unable to consider that there might have been reasons for the way my father was and then one day, when I was staying with them for a weekend, my father let slip that he didn’t actually like his job.
He’d been running the family business since I was five, was responsible for the livelihoods of seven to ten staff and supporting our family and his mother. He felt he was powerless to do the things he really wanted, that the choices he had were dictated by circumstance and not by desire. His life was playing out for the needs of others and not for himself. In essence, he felt trapped and resentful. It didn’t make how he had behaved toward me as a child any easier, but it did make it understandable. As children we can never really know why adults behave the way they do. We’re learning about the world and it is their wisdom – or the lack of it – that dictates what we know. But I now had an understanding of what had driven his actions and this allowed me to accept them. And suddenly, I felt I was having an adult relationship with my parents.
My mothers family were more volatile, she and her siblings still, to this day fight for supremacy. They compete for attention among themselves and frequently have periods where one or the other of them isn’t talking. Over the years it has felt like she needed me to parent her, that her family life left her feeling so vulnerable that I, somehow, protected her against their pettiness. And this was a pattern that we fell into with my father as well.
It was a role that seemingly evolved as I entered my late teens; it was just assumed that I would ‘be on her side’ against her siblings, or my father. And it felt so much easier standing up for my mother than it did for myself. How was it that I was able to talk on her behalf – but not on my own? It was an interesting contrast, ignored by one parent and used as a buffer by the other. At the time I suppose I felt flattered and valued to be so important to my mother, but it did place a weight on my shoulders that I didn’t fully understand.
What I did want though, was to understand the dynamics between the three of us. The relationships always felt so intense and that didn’t make sense either because I lived 300 miles away at that stage (I was to move further.) so again I turned to past life regression to give me insight. I was already curious about why our relationships had developed the way they had but as I seemed to need to question the way we were, I suppose the underlying desire was to make sure I didn’t repeat the same mistakes when I became a parent.
Again I used techniques given to me by Tara Sutphen and my other wonderful teacher Tabaash, channeled by Blair Styra and went within to learn about the present. The wonderful thing about seeing events unfold in a regression meditation is that there is no sense of anxiety, the detachment allows you to view the events rather as you would a television drama, except that you are one of the stars. For this topic though, I didn’t ask specific questions, I wanted more of an overview and because I put the desire out there, I still get flashes of insight, years after that first session. I imagine this is because my understanding continues to grow.
And I saw many lifetimes together as part of a family group, many occasions when one or the other parent and I had been romantically linked and a couple where the lifetime had ended with accidental death caused by one or the other of us. Curiously, there were fewer lifetimes with my mother, but many with my father. Obviously more issues to work through between us, then!
After the meditation sessions I wondered quite how to use this information, because the experiences were one sided – I knew things about my parents that they wouldn’t understand and that my father, certainly, would ridicule. So I needed to trust that my knowledge would inspire the changes I hoped for and that if I changed my approach to our relationships, that my parents in turn would change their attitudes. And let me say with my father change happens slowly…
The first thing I did was to start calling them by their christian names, to put us all on a level playing field. It was a little odd, but neither of them seemed to mind. And it helped! Then I had a conversation with my mother about how I needed to choose when to be in her corner and to have a relationship with my father that was more inclusive. She found that more difficult, but I’ve made the effort to stay detached from her competitive side and have come to love speaking to my father on the phone. Our conversations are so rich in content and over the years, I feel I’ve gotten to know him – because I live so far away.
As time has gone by I’ve been able to see that both my parents have qualities I value enormously and I have for them now, in my forties, a respect that I couldn’t have imagined when I was younger.
We don’t always see eye to eye, there’s nothing like going through a divorce to divide family loyalties, but I know that with time, they’ll adapt to the situation and now more than ever, I know they love me. That was what I wanted to know when I started exploring our relationship and maybe that is the true nature of an adult relationship, accepting that we all express emotions differently and making allowances for that.

Full Thunder Moon

The Full Thunder Moon (Native American) at 0* Aquarius will culminate July 22, 2013 11:16am PDT/2:16pm EDT (Farmers Almanac).

This Full Thunder Moon reminds us to be open to our future goals and dreams. At 0 degrees its saying we can be open to new ideas, no longer needing to go round and round over old worn out feelings and results. We obtain an outlook and begin moving in attainment. A mind-set of really living life instead of observing others in what they are doing. What are you preparing, do you look down at your feet and see them moving toward your happiness and fulfillment. We can all be stuck in our minds and not set ourselves into action. But as we progress we want to look back and see what our plans have been and are becoming. The mistakes were stepping stones to greater love and recovered choices. We have the opportunity to regenerate. To piece together and construct our perfect design of life and what we want…

All ideas and dreams are originally born in the dark, you are being asked to bring your life into the light of greater reality and create quality. The future is always unknown. Why have you feared something that you are in control of…it may take you minutes, months or years but you can move into continual improvement.

Full Strawberry Super Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Strawberry Moon (Native American) at 2* Capricorn will culminate June 23, 2013 4:32am PDT/7:32am EDT (Farmers Almanac).

This Full Strawberry Super Moon ‘reins us in’ from liberty to duty. We all have goals to set and strength to attain as we secure our lives. We’ve had a little suspension according to the universal signs. And it’s great to be responsible to your lives as we get ready to revel in the new days of summer. The super moon is staring directly at us, opening the questions we ask ourselves over and over. We want to be confident and we do want to become who we want to be. We dream of gaining outer stability and a sturdy body. Focus, steady your mind as you move your body, it’s not about reviewing right now, it’s about steady action and doing. Breathe some fresh air and get out there. Eat healthy, sign up for those classes and step into the groups that will further you in proper improvement. Psychically click into your inner knowing. Step into a right situation, step back from a wrong situation or stay quiet and still…but it’s about movement now. You are to be concentrated in body and mind.

Progress and attainment, motivation and intent, being useful and fulfilled – aim for the next strategic direction. Whether you are working toward health or finances, exert yourself for a purpose, succeed for you, work together with your loved ones, aspire…Life doesn’t always give us a guarentee, but we know we are worth it.

Have you found yourself wanting to be more goal oriented than you are… can you step into your personal power to create the person you long to be. You may need to get more physically strong upon the earth before you can engage a rested mind and spirit. Eat well, exercise, and start doing what you want to do for a job. It’s all a balancing act. We need to take ourselves seriously, just like you do your loved ones. You matter…

“Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.”~ Albert Einstein (German born American Physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity. Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. 1879-1955)
