Beltaine

by Tara Sutphen

Beltaine is the “Celebration of the Light”,the light time of the year. The dark time being remembered by Samhain. May 1 is the day in the middle of the spring and the summer equinox’ (15*Taurus). May Day is the time for love and the happiness of summer on it’s way.

Beltane | Beltaine is a celebration of the union of souls, The union of minds, and the union of bodies. The earth mother calls her progeny to replenish the earth. Flowers decorate hair and everywhere. Maypole ribbon dances, with two circles interweaving around a decorated tree or pole, clockwise dance circles. Bonfires or candles to spark the sacred fire of union and fertility.

Druids and Pagans raised the Beltaine fires on hilltops on May Eve, the fires were lit in order to bring the sun’s light down to earth. Earth awakening from it’s long winter nap and the flowers are in bloom and frolicking abounds. Joy alights your body, mind, and spirit, the colors become brighter, you see the best in everyone, casting away all worries and doubts you collected over the winter time.All nightmares become daydreams of love, hope and harmony.

Beltaine or Beltane is an anglicization of the Irish “Bealtaine” or the Scottish “Bealtuinn.” — “bel,”brilliant”, “tene” “fire”

Things to do on Beltaine alone or with a group

Create a Beltaine circle or group

Buy or Pick flowers

potluck

maywine (alcoholic or non alcoholic)

Candles, Fireplace, Bonfire — Lighting a fire with a blessing

May pole (you can use a tree if you don’t have a pole) garnish w. greenery and flowers – tie long ribbon

If you create a May pole, make lots of wishes while you walk clockwise into your future, and at the end of wrapping the ribbon say a blessing for yourself and end with “to love and be loved, So it is”. If the tree/pole ribbons pretty and sturdy enough you could leave until Samhain.

Some of the questions that you can ask your friends or family are:

What were the highlights in your winter? Everyone must come up with at least one if not several highlights. What are the dreams to enliven your spring and summer? Every one should convey their intentions for the summer.

New Moon 3* Taurus & Earth Day

by Tara Sutphen, posted in celtic, channeling, feast, metaphyics, New Age, News, prayer, sorce the moon, spiritual, Tara Sutphen

New Moon 3* Taurus & Earth Day

I think all of us are feeling fortunate to be walking around and participating in the world right now. We don’t always know where we’re going. But if we close our eyes and center our minds and hearts. We know we can make good solutions to the dilemmas that may face us upcoming. Change is inevitable at any given time and our ancestors were brave and risked their lives to create good choices. It’s in our DNA to have courage and untapped skill to forge forward. 

We live in an amazing atmosphere, the ground we walk on and the food we eat is mother nature at it’s best. If you haven’t taken a few moments every day to meditate and thank every facet of what earth gives to you. You are held in the palm of creation and cradled day in and day out. If only we recognize our good fortune.

This month as we celebrate the new moon, we’re to really put on our thinking caps and come up with at least 3 ideas in each area of your life. 

Even if your skill set doesn’t make it easy, it is at least a new dream born in the dark and you can start to cultivate it. Just as a seed is started from the soil, welcoming you to start a seedling or metaphorically a creative endeavor. 

Lets plant some motivation in your mind:

Sky Gazing

Looking up instead of looking down. You can do this standing, sitting or laying down. Figure out the different clouds, and then think of the possibilities of others places and at night enjoy the stars and be thankful about our solar system. 

Being in Resonance with the Earth

Listen to the Planets hum or sound (scientific fact) and match your vibe with the great mother

Taking a Walk

When you’re walking around do so with complete wonder, notice how vibrant the colors are all around you. Tune into what you are seeing and feeling.

A Moment of Gratitude

who you love and who loves you

Who do you admire and who admires you

How you admire Earth and how earth admires you

If I could choose the perfect future what would it look like

Meditate

Come back into your natural state of being, it can be something very simple. If you need to rest then do so. Meditate for 10-20 minutes if you can, it can renew your day.

What you seek is seeking you

Are you wanting to find love, success, great health and wisdom. It is at your fingertips. Clarity a lot of times leads you to what you want and why you want it.

Offerings

We should always be giving something back to the earth. She is very much alive, she speaks the language of weather and the elements. You can pray with your feet on the ground, placing a flower at a tree base, or walking around in resonance. The sooner we treat her with respect and love, she returns it a 100 fold. 

Happy Earth Day Everyone, & Beautiful Prayers at the New Moon ❤ 

Blessings & Love, 

Tara Sutphen

Keep our Balance

by Tara Sutphen, posted in metaphysical, metaphysics, Moon, New Age, News, Pagan, prayer, Psychic, Resolutions, Shaman, spiritual, Tara Sutphen
*How to become balanced: 
PHYSICAL: health and the way we treat our cleanliness, posture, and overall treat our bodies is a part of being balanced. Our body is the most precious gift we have and without it we can’t exist. If we don’t stay healthy we certainly can’t enjoy all the other aspects of life.
2. MENTAL: You want to exercise your mind to keep it working properly. Keep your cognitive abilities sharp. If you don’t take care of your body it will deteriorate, and this can also be true of your mind. 
 3. EMOTIONAL: Managing our emotions is important. When engaging with our feelings it’s best to work with our intelligence. In this way we learn what we want and we can be fulfilled. We need always to resolve our feelings and never be irrational. It’s easy to forget how to manage our emotional world.
4.SOCIAL: There is a certain amount of human socializing people need. We learn to treat humankind with courtesy and fairness when we are interacting with each other. Sometimes there are wonderful connections we naturally make. Camaraderie and joy can easily be attained. But how about when dissension or bad feelings come up, those need to be handled and dealt with emotionally. Even if you don’t like to interact with people there is a certain spacial sharing humans need. 
5.FINANCES: Whether you are working in a career or a job, it’s important to bring value to your and others lives. We are all a part of a cycle of service to mankind, to ourselves and to our Families. Money is an energetic transference.   Learn what your skills are and practice being the best you can be.
6.SPIRITUAL: The relationship you create between yourself and the universe. You can fight your life every day or you can come into resonance and be in reverence of all the opportunities and possibilities life has your offer you. If you begin to feel blessed, this will carry into your speaking, your actions and into a better future.

Full Pink Moon

Full Pink Moon 

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Pink Moon (Native American) at 18* Libra will culminate, April 7, 2020 7:36pm PDT/10:36pm EDT (Farmers Almanac). 

This Full Pink Moon in Libra means we are seeking balance, we’ve been pushed into our homes and we’re to listen on many levels. We are given an opportunity to take the high road and not the low road. We are asked to step into our personal power as gracefully as we can. There is a surge about relying on yourself, on your knowledge, skills and tool set. You are having an opportunity to clear unneeded responsibilities and old karma. 

First of all, purge all that no longer serves you. No more dwelling on the negative, sit with your eyes closed and take a couple deep breaths, remove all pressure, heaviness and worries away from your body (I’ll use rocks & bricks as your example but any arguments, anger, upsets, etc — visualize rocks or bricks falling away, feel the rocks/bricks falling away and any pressure moving away from you, hear those rocks and bricks falling and crashing away or going far into space, inner knowing rocks or bricks are no longer around you) and further away from your aura – this will allow you to feel a lightness of your being and take some of your anxieties and frustrations off of your psyche. Do this several times a day if you are feeling overwhelmed.

Clearing away the old to make way for the new, this is certainly not a time to wish away our lives.  Reach for a certain equilibrium, 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 and what that may mean. Sitting as we are in the space and time in the omnipotence of this world and universe, we are on earth for a reason. And many times in our lives, the interpretation becomes clear as a bell. This is one of those times.

Encouragement is useful. Reassuring another person of the effort they make, not only makes them feel validated but it also makes you feel satisfied. No matter who thinks they act alone on the planet is not telling the truth to themselves. The farmer created food for you to eat and there were contractors to build your house. workers create electronic equipment, entertainment devices, and cookware. Sewing you clothes and making your soaps, creating medicines and vitamins. Activate your abilities and strong skills, you have the ability to create the life you long for…

Here’s some tips on how to make clear decisions. 

  1. Use your Emotions – How do you Feel:
  1. What do you want your health to be
  2. What do you want your career to be
  3. How do you want to make money
  4. How much money do you want
  5. How hard are you willing to work
  6. How much time are you willing to study
  7. How much time are you willing to work
  8. Are you working smarter not harder
  9. Where do you want to live
  10. What kind of house do you want
  11. Where are your opportunities
  12. What are you afraid of
  13. What are you NOT afraid of
  14. What are your opportunities to date
  15. Who are you committed 
  16. Over 18 years, do they pull their share
  17. Do you make conscious choices to clear your confusion – how.   

B. Use your Intellect – How do you reason:

  1. What do you want your health to be
  2. What do you want your career to be
  3. How do you want to make money
  4. How much money do you want
  5. How hard are you willing to work
  6. How much time are you willing to study
  7. How much time are you willing to work
  8. Are you working smarter not harder
  9. Where do you want to live
  10. What kind of house do you want
  11. Where are your opportunities
  12. What are you afraid of
  13. What are you NOT afraid of
  14. What are your opportunities to date
  15. Who are you committed 
  16. Over 18 years, do they pull their share
  17. Do you make conscious choices to clear your confusion – how

Reasoning gives you a chance to be more objective about yourself and your needs over the emotional side of your nature.

C. Visualize your future

  1. Create your perfect world in your minds eye
  2. Be willing to compromise if you live with others
  3. No rigidity

D. Stop Arguing

  1. Make Space in your mind
  2. Be truthful, especially to yourself
  3. Make space in your future
  4. Don’t fight for your limitations
  5. Do not fall prey to others fear
  6. Don’t judge others
  7. Don’t persuade others
  8. Do you have clear mind and why
  9. Create strength of mind

E. Progressive Movement

  1. Use your vitality
  2. Use your personal power
  3. We read, therefore learn
  4. Use your core values
  5. Take steps to achieve in health, well-being, career, well-being, relationships, love, positive direction
  6. Use your education
  7. Use your creativity
  8. Use your sound plans
  9. Create strength of body

Forward movement, we have been lead toward knowledge. The internet alone is full of useful information. Decipher, connect, or act accordingly on clueful information.

Everyone knows what’s wrong to do…bad habits, addictions, procrastination or rebelliousness. Bad tempers or depression, release misfortune and start by being resourceful, capable and enterprising. Learning to listen again. Drinking plenty of water, and meditate. Resonating with the earth and expecting the very best instead of the very worst.

_____Harness your attributes and plans upcoming. You are to remain steadfast and innovative. 

—— “Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.”

Spring Equinox

by Tara Sutphen, posted in spiritual

Spring Equinox, Ostara, Eostre, Easter, Vernal Equinox

By Tara Sutphen

21st March   Spring Equinox marks the mid-point of the Waxing Year, the nights and days are balanced once again; the time when Kore, (Persephone) was believed to have returned from the Underworld where she had ruled throughout the Winter. The spark of light, born at Winter Solstice has reached maturity, and from here onwards, the days progressively grow longer than the nights. 

Western culture proclaims this the first day of Spring.Older traditions called the Spring Equinox, Ostara; the time of the festivals of the Grecian Goddess, Eostre, and the Germanic Ostara, both fertility Goddesses of Dawn. These influenced the naming of the modern-day Easter Holiday. New greenery bursts forth from sleeping seeds in the countryside, as metaphorically, pagans also plant their own seeds for future goals, future projects and growth at this time.Decorated eggs, being symbols of fertility are symbolic of Ostara. In days gone, Europeans gave gifts of decorated eggs to new brides, in the hope that they would bear many children. Similarly, bowls filled with eggs were given to farm workers by the farmer’s wife, to ensure a rich harvest. 

Most all cultures see the egg as a symbol of Life; the actual home of the Soul. In Russia, decorated eggs are still given as gifts to loved ones and buried in graves to ensure rebirth. The women gathered the eggs only from hens which were around a rooster and decorated them, allowing no one to watch them work as they transferred the goodness of the household to the designs on the eggs, thus keeping evil away. Dyes were mixed to secret family recipes and special blessings placed on each egg.

Colors of Ostara Eggs:

• White:

• Purity

• Yellow:

• Wisdom, a successful Harvest, or Spirituality

• Green:

• Spring, rebirth, wealth, youth, growth, happiness

• Blue:

• Good health, clear skies

• Orange:

• Power endurance, ambition, courage

• Red:

• Happiness, hope, passion, nobility, bravery, enthusiasm, love

• Brown:

• Enrichment, good harvest, happiness

• Purple:

• Faith, trust, power

• Pink:

• Success, friendship, love

• Black:

• Remembrance Lore:

The custom of eating Hot Cross Buns also has pagan origins. The Saxons ate buns that were marked with a cross in honor of Eostre; Ancient Greeks consumed these types of buns in their celebrations of Artemis, Goddess of the hunt, and the Egyptians ate a similar cake in their worship of the Goddess Isis.

There are conflicting ideas as to what the cross symbol represents. One suggestion is that it is a Christianisation of horn symbols that were stamped on cakes to represent an ox, which used to be sacrificed at the time of the Spring Equinox. Another theory relates to Moon worship; the bun representing the full Moon, and the cross, its four quarters. Christianity gave new meanings to the symbolism of the buns, saying the cross represented the Crucifixion Cross. Thus, superstitions arose crediting these buns as being charms against evil, so after Good Friday, people would save one or two of them to hang in their homes as amulets. During the festival season and indeed, for a long time afterwards, fishermen would carry these Easter buns in their boats, for protection.

The Spring Equinox defines the season where Spring reaches it’s peak, with the powers of light increasing. The God of Light, (Llew), now gains victory over his twin, the God of Darkness. Llew was reborn at the Winter Solstice and is now old and strong enough to vanquish his rival twin and mate with his Mother Goddess. The great Mother Goddess, who returned to her Virgin aspect at Imbolc, welcomes the young Sun God’s attentions and conceives a child. The child will be born nine months from now, at the next Winter Solstice, when the cycle closes, only to begin anew.

• The Easter Bunny is another symbol which has obvious links to fertility, rebirth, and the abundance of life which is evident in Spring.

• Eostre was a playful Goddess whose reign over the earth began in Spring when the Sun King journeyed across the sky in his chariot, bringing the end of Winter. Eostre came down to Earth then, appearing as a beautiful maiden with a basket of bright colorful eggs. Eostre’s magical companion was a rabbit who accompanied her as she brought new life to dying plants and flowers by hiding the eggs in the fields.

Full Worm Moon

by Tara Sutphen, posted in spiritual

Full Worm Moon 

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Worm Super Moon (Native American) will culminate on March 9, 2020 10:48AM PT / 1:48PM ET (Farmers Almanac). A Super Moon means the Moon is nearer to earth.

The Worm Moon sharpens our focus. Sometimes we make swift judgements that lead to regrets and also to some disgrace. Be careful what you say and the actions you take at this time. The aspects of every full moon gently guides us toward clean up of all sorts of human situations. Pisces sun allows us to look at hidden and sometimes painful things while the Virgo full moon is reminding us to get to work and  center ourselves. Our health is important and what are you missing in your human development.

The Super Moon is a personal spotlight on you. There is immeasurable understanding or scrutiny at this time. You are feeling the intensity. Remember this can challenge you to feel more alive and align to your true purpose. You are being shown how strong you are on the earth plane. Instead of shirking responsibilities, you welcome them.

 You’re looking into the meaning of life and a deeper resonance of thought. You are tuning in instead of tuning out.  You are ready finally, you want to handle living on earth. Family becomes important. Thinking in short term goals are in your conscious mind. Your subconscious has harbored doubt and suspicion about your abilities. You became untrusting, but you can become stronger now. You’re finding out it’s not about how other people act or conduct their lives. It’s all about how you proceed … and living well is on the agenda.

Journal Questions:

Write a paragraph on where on your skills and talents.

When did you start to doubt yourself.

Where did life start to get in the way.

Have you been paying enough attention to your health.

Have you been paying enough attention to your confidence and self-worth.

Do you take time to be good at everything you do.

How do you proceed with your ability to create

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

 How do you proceed with your short term goals 

  • Spiritually
  • Emotionally
  • Intellectually
  • Materially
  • Physically

Change. What is affecting you and how do you fix it

 ——How do you take care of your mental health. How do you take care of your physical health. You came to earth to handle it. What is the motivation, the desire and the basics to get your soul motivation back on track.

—-“Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above it.” —Washington Irving
