Winter Solstice & Yule – DEC 21

Winter Solstice & Yule

By Tara Sutphen

Dec 21: The Winter Solstice is a celebration of the heart, vessel of our dreams. Through the darkest time on the planet we are to find solace once again, returning to our inner resting place. Gallantly gazing upon our life’s daily uncertainty and unknowing future. May the earth fold us in comfort away from any harshness. As the light dims we are to harmonize and begin to sincerely replenish our hearts and minds. The pagans called this holiday Yule, where the people of Europe and Scandinavia made festive. It is not considered religious. The pagans were naturalists, such as the Native Americans and other indigenous communities around the world. They followed the course of the sun, the moon and cycles of the seasons for planting food and generally planning survival strategy. As winter comes we recognize our need to rest our minds, hearts and bodies while warming at the hearth. And as we come back out of the darkest day-night of the year and begin to gain more minutes of sunlight and replenishment each day. We linger for a glimmer of light to awaken, reconnecting our spark to life, to the sun and the conviviality of our own beating heart.

Get Psyched with Kaitlin & Get Psychic with Tara

 
 

Tara’s goal has been to build the self esteem and self confidence of our future generations since 2006, when she began the only Psychic Teen Class of its kind in the world. She has taught many Teens to trust the path of their lives. “We don’t always know where we are going, but we trust we have a beautiful life.” Each of us has psychic ability, an opening of intuition and gut reaction. What is that feeling about a person, place or thing? Is depression, futility, drugs or self destruction a denial of the inner voice? Tara’s aim is teaching her psychic students to be in touch with their deeper knowing, when to step forward in their lives and when to hold back…to wait for the right timing in all things: whether it is love, success, happiness, health, safety, wisdom or understanding. Her intent is to aid them to focus and hear not only others – but to hear themselves, and not only to see others – but to see themselves. Listening on a deeper level to their daily motivation, activating their lifeforce, awakening curiousity in school, learning empathy, being centered and whole prosperous people. Tara has been teaching teens for years to come into their higher potential through teaching them to be psychic. Kaitlin specializes in Teen Development and has many exercises to promote self-awareness and self-confidence. As Kaitlin teaches mindfulness and understanding their emotions, she helps them with healthy processing. Really looking inward to tuning up their potential. 8:00AM-5:30PM. Lunch included. Limited to 10 Teens. $750. usd

Full Pink Blood Moon

Full Pink Moon

By Tara Sutphen

 

The Full Pink Moon (Native American) at 25* Libra will culminate April 15, 2014 12:46am PDT/ 3:46am EDT (Farmers Almanac) and a Total Eclipse with a Grand Cross.

 

There are a many aspects for this Full Pink Moon in Libra. The gentleness of Libra eloquently allows a certain grace with potency, as no other planet could with a Total Eclipse. When we have an eclipse we will need to change or let go of something holding us back. It brings something exciting or illuminating to each of us. The “Blood” moon will be seen in a Tetrad phase of light, the same phenomenon observed every sunrise and sunset.  We have a Grand Cross, all are at 13’s with two oppositional Space stances.

 

Just a bit of amazing Moon and Planet energy showering down upon us earthlings.  We’re ready for it right? We’re in harmonious acceptance. We have an opportunity to clear responsibilities and old karma. We are ready… 

 

First of all, purge all that no longer serves you. Do not dwell on the negative, sit with your eyes closed and take a couple deep breaths, remove all pressure, heaviness and worries away from your body and then away from your aura – feel the lightness of your being. Now…. Take a couple deep breaths. Start to feel all your chakras turn in a clockwise direction. It’s time to do some internal spring-cleaning. Aren’t you feeling better when you’re activating your life force.

 

As you clear away the old to make way for the new, this is certainly not a time to wish away your life.  It’s time to reach a certain balance, which means we don’t go too inward or outward with our personalities and fears. Instead we are to fill ourselves with trust of who we are, to the core of our being with the brightest light and connection of God.

 

You are to be seen in the world. This is not to say you want to be a singer, actor or any outward profession. It’s all about keeping our self in balance. Many people try to make themselves invisible or blend in. They think it’s comfortable not to participate in the world. They say one thing and mean another, or end up doing things they never wanted to do. Or they physically hide.  They stop participating, even with their own health or knowledge. Whether it’s not having an opinion, asking another person a question to start a conversation, getting a job you want, or seeking real love.

 

This is not to say we don’t compromise in relationships, families, friendships and our jobs.  Dust yourself off.  Shine in the rays of the moons glow. The moon is saying to turn on the lights in your heart, in your mind and in your soul. Not only as the moon beams, you are to glow. Beam as you really are… You are to be seen in the world.

Meditation By Tara Sutphen

“Zing”  — a Magic entering the Mind … Ideas form into thoughts and daydreams.

Muses spark the creative process and stimulate one’s endeavors into fitting ventures. Overcome your obstructions, whether lacking confidence or intangible concepts. Sometimes we can get lost in indefinable and elusive development. In Greek Mythology the Muses gave inspiration to everyone and granted wishes. They have encouraged artists since antiquity, acknowledged for their importance in resourceful innovation and formation.

In this meditation each Muse will grant you her gift, guiding you toward greater resourcefulness and motivation. The Muses inspire inception to the completion of an urge, starting projects from outset to finish. Search for variety of the inner you and your talents, bring your childhood desires into reality. Have you been struggling and need extra support? Let the Muses encourage you in the direction of a greater fate. 30 Minutes.

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.

Deities of Mabon:
        – Goddesses-Modron, Morgan, Epona, Persephone, Pamona and the Muses. Gods-Mabon, Thoth, Thor, Hermes, and The Green Man.

Mabon is considered a time of the Mysteries. It is a time to honor Aging Deities and the Spirit World. Considered a time of balance, it is when we stop and relax and enjoy the fruits of our personal harvests, whether they be from toiling in our gardens, working at our jobs, raising our families, or just coping with the hussle-bussle of everyday life. May your Mabon be memorable, and your hearts and spirits be filled to overflowing!
