The Harvest Lughnasadh

Lughnasadh

By Tara Sutphen

Lughnasadh is the harvest and reaping great rewards, it is also a day of feasting. Lugh, is the Celtic God of Light and this Pagan Sabbat is the midpoint between the Summer Solstice and the Autumn Equinox. Some bake a figure of the “corn god” in bread, and then symbolically sacrifice and eat it. The tradition of eating and sharing the first fruits, vegetables and grains of the season started with Lughnasadh in Ireland. In England, it became the medieval festival known as Lammas day. In keeping with the Lughnasadh tradition, the first grains were offered to the gods, the form of a baked loaf of bread. The loaf was blessed and cut into four pieces, with one piece placed in each corner of the home for good luck.  

The non-sporting competitions in festivals were singing, dancing, poetry-reading and storytelling. Trial marriages were performed, couples would join hands through a hole in a slab of wood. The experimental marriage would last one year and a day, after which it was annulled without question.

Celtic festivals like Lughnasadh was an opportune time to make political, social and economic deals. All weapons and rivalry’s were laid down so the neighbors could get to know one another. Chieftains held important meetings, farmers would make trade agreements about crops or cattle for the coming season. 

A common tradition of Celtic festivals were to visit holy wells. People would give offerings to the wells and decorate them with flowers and garlands, they could leave coins or clooties (cloth). They would walk around the well in a sun-wise direction praying to the Gods.

Full Sturgeon Moon

Full Sturgeon Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Sturgeon Moon (Native American) at 9* Aquarius will culminate, August 1, 2023 11:32AM PST/2:32PM EST (Farmers Almanac).

This Full Sturgeon Moon is about being proactive and making “headway” toward achievement. 

Practicing self-awareness allows you to progress into who you would like to become. Reacting in a positive manner allows you to create situations of trust and calmness. People seldom gather their thoughts and wits in chaos. There are those people who can keep up with a frenzied pace. But are you stopping to listen and learn? Who is out there with sound expertise to help you learn to achieve?  

How about learning to cope. There are issues, which happened in childhood or even as an adult, which can prevent our achievement of goals. Sometimes we need to reprogram our minds by positive reinforcement, hypnosis, or pure willpower. 

Many people develop healthy skills to cultivate their consciousness. Do you need to make your voice heard above the frey? Or do you listen on a deeper level and take your observations with you to mull over? When you see a conflict or impending problem, are you able to dig deeply and bring your observations to the surface? Maybe you’re even ready to create a solution. We can’t skirt the issues that hold us back, we need to address the concerns which don’t serve ourselves and others, and make some headway in our lives.

To Become Conscious:

  • Empathy: A sign of emotional intelligence is knowing how you are feeling… and being aware of how others are feeling. Everyone feels differently.
  • Adaptability: Learning to react appropriately.
  • Confidence: Being aware of your shortcomings and still acting in faith.
  • Mindfulness: Becoming aware of the Present. You have this time on the planet to be in the “NOW”. 
  • Patience: Allowing time to be your ally.
  • Kindness: No-one is perfect. Everyone needs a boost.

Journal Questions:

Who are you kind to:

  • yourself
  • others
  • Family
  • Friends
  • Work arena
  • Neighborhood
  • City
  • State
  • Country
  • World

Are you seen as Constructive or Destructive?

  • House
  • Love
  • Family
  • Parents
  • Mate
  • Children

Where do you build your life:

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

Are you present in your personal life or work life: List 3 things if not 3 sentences

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

 Your Aspirations:

  • Spiritually
  • Emotionally
  • Intellectually
  • Materially
  • Physically

What Inspires you:

(5 sentences or more)

Who Inspires you:

(5 people and why)

_____How do your actions affect your daily life and also the lives of others, especially your friends and family? Self-awareness requires acknowledging your emotions, it’s not really why you do the things you do or what you might say. But maybe you could identify how you handle those feelings and how any of those subsequent actions are good for your life or not.

Self-awareness allows you to monitor your emotions and reactions. It lets you know your triggers and weaknesses. What you really want to focus on is your strengths and positive motivation. Life is about enjoying the process, not feeling like you have to be on the defensive or reactive.

—-“The core of your soul. The center of your being. the higher consciousness of your mind. That is where the kingdom of love and peace begins.” Anonymous

Attuning into the Present

by Tara Sutphen, posted in spiritual

Attuning to the Present

by Tara Sutphen

Attuning oneself to be present, while in the knowledge of the past and future is mindfulness. You can sit with yourself for a moment, meditate if it feels right and bring yourself to check in. Monitor how you feel, what you want, why you want it, is the day a good day and how to change it, if it isn’t. You are to be in the what’s happening of the “Now”.

Your assignment is to create a resolve by keeping your mind moving forward in a reassuring direction. Quieting your inner chatter. Calmly listening to your emotional harmony on a deeper level. Tuning into your heart beating. Integrating with the natural sounds around you. Attune… to you and your inner light.

Breathe deeply and practice being open and free from obstructions. The only thing that matters right now is your breathe and heart rate. You will be receptive upcoming of handling each new experience in an effective and conflict-free way.

MINDFULNESS:

  1. Sit or stand comfortably with your eyes shut or gazing for a few moments or minutes, breathing deeply, being relaxed and at ease.
  2. Listen easily and gently to where you are, and your environment around you. Remember to let the noise calm you, as you reframe it and allowing your viewpoint to change.
  3. If you start to challenge and chatter at yourself, bring your attention back to something lovely or positive. (no judgement, gossip, disharmony or bills, as they don’t matter in this moment).
  4. You are to give yourself a sweet talk and say, “I’ve got this”, “keep smiling”, “dare to be different”,“there are solutions near” “be the bigger person”, “You are strong”, “life is beautiful”, “life is an adventure”, etcetera.
  5. Practice being mindful in different locations. Needing to regroup is normal and should be done a few times a day.
  6. You’ll notice you have much more composure if you practice mindfulness.

Summer Solstice

by Tara Sutphen, posted in metaphysical, metaphysics, Pagan, spiritual, summer, summer solstice, Tara Sutphen
Summer Solstice, Midsummer, Litha
By Tara Sutphen

21st June
“In the world’s audience hall, the simple blade of grass sits on the same carpet with the sunbeams, and the stars of midnight” – Rabindranath Tagore (Indian Poet, Playwright and Essayist, Won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913, 1861-1941)

Summer Solstice marks the end of the waxing year. And the rays of the sun directly strike one of the two tropical latitude lines. June 21 marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere, as winter begins in the southern hemisphere. On this day, the earth’s “circle of luminescence” will be from the Arctic Circle to the Antarctic Circle. The equator receives twelve hours of daylight, as there will be 24 hours of daylight at the North Pole and 24 hours of darkness at the South Pole.

All over the world people honor this day as an important reminder of the apex of light and to cast away evil and their problems. Northern Hemisphere inhabitants use June 21 as the day of celebration, but the splendor of light lasts from new moon to full moon.

Worshipping the Sun’s great power, all cultures celebrate in some way. Celts and Slavs dance around bonfires while Chinese marked the day honoring Li, the Goddess of Light. The celebrants of modern and ancient ceremonies tune in that life comes from the sun. It is life giving and life supporting. We’ve recently had the good fortune to have electricity, greenhouses, and shipment suppliers. How will you celebrate? We all may not get a chance to dance around the bonfire but it’s a time to bask in the light, sit in the sun, cast our worries away and awaken to our lives.

Full Strawberry Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Strawberry Moon (Native American) at 13* Sagittarius will culminate, June 3, 2023 8:43pm pacific |11:43am eastern (Farmers Almanac).

This Sagittarius Moon is creating in-depth thought and understanding on how you communicate and assert yourself in your family area. Some of us have incredible families and even though no one is perfect. We can feel we have a family that is perfect enough. How to become comfortable with your relatives sometimes isn’t an easy feat. When it becomes uncomfortable, become ridiculously polite. Usually that can calm heightened emotions or sentiments. Limit the time or set boundaries with people who are difficult. And remember to set your own bonds on yourself, not everyone is into our personal health regime, politics or religion. Find common ground to speak and accept others.

Some people have shame with how others have treated them or others in the family; or someone has acted out terribly in their own personal life and it effects you or the family in some way. It’s not to take someone else’s mistakes personally as your own. If we can help people, especially those we are close in relation or sentiment, then we should offer solace and support. If they act apathetic or abusive. Know deep in your consciousness, it is not how you would treat them if the circumstances were different; but you’re put in a position of making a choice. Whether you want to or not. Make a boundary. We need to create how we want to feel and must accept the responsibility of creating a good life.

Developing Communication

by Tara Sutphen, posted in spiritual

Develop our communication skills

By Tara Sutphen

1. Inner Knowing

What are you interested in? Are you building your self-esteem and confidence. What are your personal skills that you’ve developed. They don’t need to be academic or athletic skills, they can be being a good friend, mother, father or liking pets.

2. Sincerity

Connect with others when they are speaking. Your mind takes breathes, so you don’t always hear everything someone is saying to you. It’s easier in life if you are kind and leave everyone with a smile or appreciation.

3. Consistency

We don’t do any favors to anyone if we can’t keep our word, pull our weight and practice what we preach. Emotional Consistency is a key ingredient to lasting happiness. Integrity to your family and those you love are important.

4. Compromise

Knowing how to share.

5. Listening

Building a bond

6. Be Polite

Everyone deserves respect.

7. Ask & Receive

Effectively ask questions. The Answers might not always be from the person you asked but if we are patient the answer will not elude us.

8. Sharing

When we help and support others. Others help and support us.

9. Teaching

When we contribute what we know, we allow others to create a way to take care of themselves. Everyone interprets their way of doing things.

10. Do not interrupt

Listen more than talk

11. Ask questions

Be interested about others and our world

12. Curiosity

Don’t lose your curiosity, stimulate your mind by learning new things. Its considered one of the key things to staying youthful.

Full Flower Moon with Annular Eclipse

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Flower Moon (Native American) at 14* Scorpio will culminate May 5, 2023 10:36am PDT/1:36am EDT (Farmers Almanac).

This Full Flower Moon with an annular eclipse is about change or letting go, it can be to bring something illuminating into your life. What ever promises you have made may be broken, you may find your voice and all of a sudden find your way out of confusing situations. It’s like you haven’t seen clearly what you needed to see…but then all of a sudden there you are easily seeing where you were blind, making a decision or advising an antidote or remedy to your problems. The issue might not dissolve but suddenly you have a plan.

Frustration is set aside, frenemies and enemies are set aside, nonsense is set aside… you can tap deeply into your inner psyche. It’s not about anyone but you. What do you need to release to get ahead in any area of your life. There is no competition, it is your brain solidly going forward to accomplish your life and its splendor. Your giving away “doubt” this eclipse… wave it good-bye!

your new mantra: No more doubt, I create my reality, yes…..I do.

—-Deep introspection is brought to the fore as you are finding your voice again. What you felt locked up about is coming apart and crumbling. It’s no longer sealed, you can juggle what needs to be done, you do find your way. Your brain is metaphorically on a path where you hold a lantern looking for the right truth, the right answer, the right solution. And, you will find what you are looking for…

″‘We just have to keep going until we find out what’s wrong or find out why we don’t know what’s wrong.’”

Full Pink Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Pink Moon at 16* Libra will culminate April 5, 2023 9:37pm pdt/ April 6, 2023 12:37pm edt (almanac). This moon is a time to reflect on how we respond to others when we’re displeased or caught off balance. Sometimes retorts will bring on defensive behavior. We can all feel insecure, but how do we reject negative programming or hurt feelings. First of all we can make changes on how we interact and react with others; as it’s our time to thrive. Our words and sentiments make or break us. 

We don’t always put our best foot forward, but it is never too late to try. When we are caught off guard, we can use our ability to speak, think abstractly, and reason.  Symbols of healing are the ability to plan, problem solve, and sometimes participate in groups. We can raise others as we uplift ourselves. We don’t have to be glum, we just don’t choose to be hard on ourselves or others. Start pausing and reacting wisely.

There are many times when others are difficult for you or complicate your life. These are times to contemplate and consider your conversations, interactions, actions and reactions. See if you are working for or against yourself. Taking an honest assessment of your personal behavior. Writing down what is working for you and what is not. How do we become more balanced and objective. Working toward becoming a “winsome” person.

Full Worm Moon

Full Worm Moon 

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Worm Moon (Native American) 16* Virgo will culminate on March 7, 2023 4:42AM PT / 7:42AM ET (Farmers Almanac).

The Worm Moon is letting us believe in ourselves once again. Letting the inner limelight unfold so we step into taking care of ourselves and knowing what our next steps should entail. Mating calls are beginning to resonate deeper yet in you; and you’re ready to find satisfaction in friendships and relationships. What has been lying dormant is reawakening. 

At times you think you’re satisfied, but career goals, social skills, and healthy tips and tricks have all been a recurring theme and you’ve needed a boost to realign. 

It’s as though Mother Earth has a voice and she’s been whispering for you to awaken cheerfully, to make the most of your life and to really live. The earth will cradle us everyday if we let her. We have to work smart not hard. We must move our bodies to make progress; action speaks louder than dreams or words. 

Money is make believe, start believing you have it in your personal sphere. In your meditations and visualizations, it is not pie in the sky, rearrange your viewpoint to see gold at your feet. And as you call prosperity into your life, cooperate with yourself. Giving is as good as receiving, practice patience, and be authentic. 

Journal Questions:

Write a paragraph on where you can improve…How can you shine 

Do you doubt yourself.

Do you trip up and say things like: life is getting 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

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.

—-“Life is a song – sing it. Life is a game – play it. Life is a challenge – meet it. Life is a dream – realize it. Life is a sacrifice – offer it. Life is love – enjoy.” —Sai Baba
