As 2023 comes to an end, I always like to reflect on what the year has held for me and the collective, and also what I’ve held space for and moved energetically and literally within the year.

How many of you take time to review your year, see how far you’ve come, assess what you want to carry forth or release, and/or have your own little ritual or process for ending and entering new cycles – whether that’s a new calendar year, birth or Moon phase cycle, or any other cycles or transits that you follow?

It was a huge year, as I surmised in some ways that it would be with all the major milestones for myself and my loved ones, but was also very defining in poignant and surprising ways as well. I know for many of the collective family too.

It is both endearing and divine that what was experienced took place in the Year of the Water Rabbit – including a historical Winter that made the books and The Magick Rabbit, Astrid, returning to the stars.

(Take a look at this heart rock we saw at Astrid’s Cove just days ago – we named it that a couple of months ago after merging a pinch of her ashes with her beloved crystalline lake home here.)

My 50th year of embodiment held long-awaited openings, twists and turns, unforgettable and life course-shifting experiences, new, but written-in-the-stars connections, and, overall, will always hold a special place in my heart.

It’s been a year of huge physical losses for many of us and across the world, as we’ve held loving space for so many souls who have chosen to return to their most expansiveness. That left many feeling an empty space, taken by surprise, and now navigating new ways of being, as the leaning into of a new way of experiencing consciousness and Cosmic love beckons.

Just this last month of 2023 four people I know have lost their fathers or seen a loved one decline – this to include fur children. Relationships have gone through transformations as well – loss and undoing to kindling and renewal.

There’s been so much in the world that can seem without reason and yet is part of that spontaneous excavation the planet and our souls on some level have yearned for in order to bring things to light and rework the very fabric of existence into something more aligned to the heart of who we really are.

And as always, while some doors close, others open. The other side of that coin has been an incredible amount of new beginnings that stir from the literal and symbolic ashes.

It’s a murky process individually and collectively, but has rich rewards when seen through.

One main thing that continues to speak to me is how key it is to find one’s own anchor – the way you can stabilize yourself, return to balance, and remain in your personal power. As not only is this fundamental for your own wellness and ability to sustain the twists and turns around you, but it allows you to also be the anchor for others who need, or soon will need, that frame of reference for themselves when they get swept up and away in the darker moments.

How we walk through life cultivates a way for others, even without saying a word.

This last month flew by for me. It was a very full and busy month feeling like a huge amount of things happened in a short period.

We’ve yet to have any big Winter storm hits. The pendulum is doing it’s normal rebalancing swings -when one extreme hits, there will usually come a course redirect.

That’s not to say we may still see a later big Winter, but for now things are quiet and continuing to ride the edge of the in between while things percolate in the background to envision and create what’s next.

This has provided us with more hiking much later into the season, while still having a little ski fun now and then. The mountain is only partially open with just a few runs available to ski and it does seem a bit quieter this year from tourists.

Lower elevation hiking ranges from clear terrain to some snow and ice that calls for crampons at times.

At times we venture higher and have enjoyed some truly magickal moments and views.

The days are beautiful and with nights in the 20’s, frost is left each dawn of a new day. This brings us to some mystical experiences on late morning hikes through newly dusted realms.

This was a favorite hike at the top, the day before Christmas Eve.

I couldn’t get enough of these mystical visions and in person it was surreal and otherworldly with light beams streaming off the morning Sun through the mist at center that were very pronounced although don’t show up in the photos.

We enjoyed a taste of both worlds that day, with a hike at the top of the mountain and then followed by a shorter walk at lake level, highlighted by the approaching Cancer Full Moon of the 26th.

It was also on this day that our male, black cat, Boojum had a turnaround.

I’ve mentioned we have two nearing 17 year old cats that are both in their golden years now. Boojum had some severe declines right after Astrid departed, but had been maintaining. After another one the 23rd we took him in to the vet to dig deeper, as I felt he was coming to me to say there’s something else. We happened to get a different doctor that day and long story short, we discovered he had hyperthyroid and this was the culprit of most of his symptoms. His rising numbers were overlooked before.

He’s now on daily, long-term meds and some other short-term protocols and this has made a huge difference. He still has kidney decline, but that’s going slowly for now. His thyroid was rapidly shifting and so now we have a much calmer, quieter, comfortable kitty baby.

He’s been following and hanging out with mammaroo a lot, grateful for the relief. Check out this silly kitty who loves to hang all over mom and even in her cozy pouch! LOL! This snuggly pink kangaroo softness was mom’s Christmas gift from dad last year.

He didn’t want to leave it and just stayed in there while I moved around the house taking care of things.

We decided to also take in our female, black and white cat, Sweet Pea, just yesterday for proactive measures. She had some different behaviors recently and being that she’s quieter about things we felt to run her labs too. We’ll get those back shortly so we’ll know what if anything she needs to make life more comfortable for her too.

For now, she’s a bit more freaked out that mom is looking a lot like Cindy-Lou Who of Whoville. LOL!

But overall, we’re just focused right now on making the time they have left here with us as comfortable as possible and listening attentively to their journey.

Anyway, it’s been a very different holiday season. Quiet, sweet and beautiful, with an air of constant shifting energy hovering in all the spaces between things.

This year we had simple touches in the house, but my most favorite was this new little, live lavender Christmas tree that is now my all-time favorite!

I love that I will be able to keep her year-round, use for baking, and enjoy the scent and sweetness through the year to come. I never saw a lavender Christmas tree before and this was just the perfect one for Faery T.

I added simple faery lights, blue star, and three enchanted ornaments of rabbits and bear that embody the magick that surrounds my life.  

Chiming in with that magickal energy, this month kicked off with some Reiki Initiation Attunements I was honored to support, which was a nice energy to be winding the year down with, as a new beginning and relationship with this part of the journey for people that has collective far reach. One in particular beautiful soul connection shared some amazingly synchronous visions they had during the process. They were connected to collective animal spirit symbolism showing up with others I am in contact with that ties into powerful crystal beings. I love watching stuff like that unfold.

Oh! And speaking of symbolism that keeps showing up! Friends of ours texted me these photos of Amanita Muscaria aka Fly Agaric on Thursday while they were seeing them in the real-time moment.

Yep! They were on a hike in the Bay Area and low and behold those enchanting mushrooms were flourishing and they thought of me right away because of my experiences with them this year.

So the portal of manifestation with the hidden realms wanting to be seen more, continues, as this was their first time ever too.

And right at the tail end of October another friend had shown me these photos while she was seeing them where she lives in Washington near the border of Oregon for the first time as well.

The magick has been seeing us through the end of the year and hanging on to remind us that all things are possible, to keep believing, and never lose hope – some nice themes to walk into 2024 with.

And back to the Reiki choo choo train….On Christmas day itself, my brother asked me to support him with up-leveling too. So I spent time with him initiating him through the last two levels and fast-tracking discussions. What a gift that was to share with him. He’s already tapped in with energies big time, so this was a way we could merge our connection more deeply into his fuller power, and me support him, as he’s supported me in other ways and in other timelines of the past. A beautiful Christmas gift that keeps giving!

And that last statement also describes the time we spend each year with my family enjoying an old fashioned Christmas that’s always filled with lots of warmth, giggles, and expanding hearts.

I love making cherished memories as these are the ingredients of my heart’s alchemy I can call upon in more challenging times.

Since there is no separation between time and space, when I sink into presence of these feelings in essence, I call upon the embodiment of them in the now, filling my experience without boundary. This is the fuel for creating empowered states of being in any outer climate. 

Every year I deepen into greater awareness of this time I get to share with my family and those dear to me, as I know our physical experience is limited.

I choose not to lose sight of what’s important and to always find the silver lining to be grateful for. 

And along the way…I love to be a little girl and imagine this life as a faerytale of my own composing from the sparkly beats of my heart.

That might just include stealing a kiss from Santa when possible!!

Of course mom and dad always make a beautiful spread of yummies, making sure no one leaves or goes hungry for several days from the food they send us home with.

My dad outdid himself this year baking the biggest and heaviest vegan mincemeat and apple pie we’ve ever had. Just look at how HUGE it was (11 x 3 inches!) and it was equally as heavy!

And I don’t know what happened in this photo below, but something about the energy of it felt interesting to see later.

I was checking out the new, tall, silver Christmas trees my parents had upstairs and was going to ask Dave to take a photo with them. I was just getting “in between” and he took a photo before I knew it. The odd light and shape to the left and the silver trees, along with an unclear and shifty focus, made for a Christmas angel effect.

Speaking of angels, both Joy and Cosmo have been very present the last several days. Not a surprise from Joy, since she’s a Christmas Eve baby – that was her birthday. But Cosmo has come in even louder, both in waking and dream life. Without going into details, the dream was particularly potent involving his ears, the importance of my listening to something, and deepening telepathy. I’m grateful for such wise messengers.

And, oh, do I feel the presence of angelic energy enveloping everyone and everything these days, even when we think we’re alone or down and out.

There’s a sense of the Earth being wrapped in a clearing and held energy that is overriding anyone’s agendas and supporting us as we get ready to step into a New Year. This year feels to hold some really big potentials for people where things you might have wanted to do or create really start popping or shifting into new forms that are even more exciting than you imagined they could be.

The personal and collective landscapes seem fertile for some really big changes to sprout and I think we’ll discover, if we haven’t already, that there is an extra well of inner goodies available to each of us – things like courage, inner strength, experiencing support from more sources or in more tangible ways, and trusting in that resiliency and creative vitality to keep reimagining new potentials are a few things that pop in mind.

And what an incredible year it is setting up to be soon, as the Year of the Wood Dragon will support so much of this and add qualities of grounded evolution, abundance, creative tenacity, and inspiration for exploring new terrain. It could be a commanding year of leading and innovating, while creating new templates for transformation.

And one of the best ways to do the latter is by becoming one yourself!

I, like some of you, have had dragon energy around for quite some time, but it’s really been ramping up a LOT! If you watched Episode 3 of Talks With Crystal Skulls, then you saw me introduce the dragons, but that’s just a small part of what I’m talking about and there are more dragons in my life too. There’s a connection with the dragons and large avian groups that are coming through as messengers from the other realms and having the type of vision we’re opening up to and needing for the journey ahead.

It’s going to be interesting to see how we navigate this new landscape that is seeded with greatness we’re invited to walk in.

The last few days and first week of the year I’ve been led to do a big literal and energetic sweep of things in my life. I’ve heard similar from some others who are on this cleanse and reset track. It feels like a shedding of old skin layers in the womb of Winter’s darkness, and yet feels like an illumination.

As this is the last post for 2023, I want you to know that as we ready for new terrains, I’m holding each of you and the collective in my heart and sharing love through the heart bridges that connect us.

We can’t do the work for others, but as a collective family, what we do accomplish in our own life has great ripple impact and we can help balance things and open doors by holding our own vibrations as clear as possible, for the highest good of all concerned. There is no separation between us.

In Lak’ech Ala K’in ~ I am another yourself. (I am you and you are me)

To the journey ahead…may we each experience the highest frequencies of love possible.

I’d like to end this with a message I shared in Episode 3 from The Speakers. It was the first time that a couple of individual Speakers and the collective, together, shared a message. If you didn’t watch the video, here is the collective one that I channeled for them:

“We are the voices you’ve forgotten, but the rhythm that has composed new pulses nonetheless. We course through your veins, through the roots beneath your feet, the space in and around you, and the synapses of a cosmology you cannot comprehend as of yet. No matter. Understanding is not a prerequisite for knowing, although you place importance on reason you compartmentalize in a space you think holds the only knowledge. We say all parts, appendages, in betweens, and beyond are of the knowing. Once you realize this simple truth you realize your becoming is an illusion. You have always been and we are part of that being that is you. Although we speak through faces and places as diverse as you – diversity is within the same particles of one nebulous eye blinking drops of stardust from the lens of antiquity. It is not so much a lineage or ancestry we speak of, but the sustained pulse of beats without tethers to a story. We come to you on these pulses, but without agenda since your beat will never cease just because you listen or not. We come because the frequency has risen – open and clear enough for us to travel more direct now. We come simply in rhythm with you, as we were never lost – only uninvited. Access is now made of ease where once we could not flow with you. If it is true, the ready are present, then ready you will see we’ve been to reacquaint you to your greatest unbirthing. You see, where you are requires this birth, but where you have always been requires nothing but pulsing. Until next time, greetings once again for we have missed the knowing stripped away. Yes, we have missed you. Have you missed yourself? Here and there is nothing more than a folding. Take a piece of paper and fold it in half – again and again – and there you have a glimpse of your truth and the way we have journeyed this return in all its glorious being and undoing. So deeply we pulse now in reverence to the ready. May we go beyond and meet, some blink of an eye, where the knowing has sustained.”

The Speakers – Crystal Skull Sessions

Thank you to everyone who welcomed in each of the seven crystal skull cocreators that I released recently. It warms my heart that they were homed in time to support this New Year’s energy for you and will be adding to the Earth’s crystal grid. I’ll keep you posted on any other releases, but for now if you are interested in some special crystal friends (not skulls currently), I have free Personal Crystal Showings available, which are currently the only way I’m able to do things, as it’s more efficient for my time right now and allows us a more individualized experience.

And last, Egyptian Master Carver Mody Ra is gifting us a surprise for the New Year. He was in Egypt the first half of December securing the rarest stones he’s experienced yet that were discovered in a recent tomb excavation, and carving his love into new skull beings to share with the world. They embody some of the most powerful ancient and Cosmic energies to assist humanity’s evolution.

There are 8 new skulls that can be found at the bottom of the page link below. If others are released, we’ll announce those. Even just viewing them is a transmission!

These, plus the 3 remaining beauties are all being offered at a 20% off sale from now through 1/11’s New Moon to support them getting to their people to be able to kick of 2024 with some really potent shifts.

If you’ve been feeling drawn to one of these ancient beings, but the one didn’t show up yet, maybe this is the group you were waiting for. You can explore them at the page below, along with the smaller carvings. All of them come from sacred areas in Egypt. And if you need assistance, you can reach out to me and I will put you in touch with Mody. Or, if you’re already connected with him on social media, you can message him directly and reference the skull or carving from the page below.

New Year 2024 20% OFF Sale Thru 1/11 New Moon

Today’s Sagittarius New Moon felt like the perfect day to share the new release of crystal skulls, which you’ll find a link to at the end of this post. But it also feels refreshing for giving yourself permission to dream big, go after what you want, feel more courage, and fuel forward momentum with fresh eyes and hearts.

What moves you from your core?

You might feel extra desire for expansion and exploration.

You can harness this Moon’s energy to take some steps, as well as do some behind-the-scenes groundwork that will help propel you in the months ahead.

With a natal Sagittarius Moon, I always love this one and at this time of the year it really brings extra exuberance to that inner child spark that this season, Winter Solstice, and the holidays kindle for me.

We did in fact enjoy a literal, last minute holiday spirit day this weekend that brought in warm fuzzies and glistening love-swelled eyes at a Spirit of the Season performance and December’s bunny yoga.

We got the itch to do something spontaneous and different, and took our chance on some back-to-back events. This led us to the near-sold-out show featuring holiday songs from the movies (no two seats together left) and were given two second row seats at the box office that they hold for those in need.

And then followed that up with getting in on a filled-to-the-max yoga evening with seven bunnies and sweet families.

Dave really wanted to go since I shared about the last event, and he loved it. We both got choked up, as the same bunny who reminded me a bit of Astrid last time, did the same for us both. Love was in the air and this time, instead of being the photographer, I partook in the yoga and just connecting with the bunnies.

This made it more moving for me to experience and extra nurturing for the heart at a time of year Astrid was always a big part of loving the enchantment along with me.

And speaking of seasons – they seem to be taking a more prominent turn here (reflecting the inner world), as we had our first bigger snow fall blow in that left about four inches at our home elevation of 6600 and six plus inches at the mountain top.

This was surprise snow that hit on the 6th and came on fast from afternoon to afternoon the next day. We were only supposed to get rain, but turned into snow right away. Weeeee!

With the cold temperatures it’s sticking around and making for some beautiful Winter landscapes we’ve enjoyed snow hiking through.

It also helps to feel that Winter Wonderland magick that adds warmth to the holidays.

Although less than a handful of runs are open at the ski resort by us, we decided after checking out the scene on our gondola viewing day, to hop into ski bunny mode.

We started our skiing season, taking advantage of the beautiful days and limited number of people on the slopes – at least during the week and pre-new snow.

Our first day on the mountain we chose to spend our time practicing on the one beginner run over and over, which was fun and relaxing since there was only a handful of people there including us.

Me, seeing how my skiing muscle memory was from last season and Dave evolving his snow boarding skills to ride “switch” or “fakie,” which is riding the reverse to what you normally ride (the opposite of your natural stance).

Until something feels second-nature, committing to a regular practice will help make things a consistent part of your life. And if you reach plateaus in some areas, it’s healthy to challenge yourself and stretch into new terrain as part of maintaining fluid evolutionary movement.

Anyway, it’s been fun to see the snow again, even after our historical Winter last year and we’ve been enjoying the beauty and enchantment since.

I never tire of the sparkly white and how each season and day brings something new to experience.

I treat my daily life as such too, always looking for ways to infuse something unique to my days and to change up the usual routines.

I really like variety, otherwise I feel stagnant and uninspired. Even the smallest shifts really can make a difference in feeling more invigoration. Moving energy in ways that reflect my authentic feelings day-to-day, is very nurturing for me – and also helps keep me aligned with my essence, as well as the flow of energies streaming in with every shifting moment.

Speaking of the word authentic….did you know that the most searched for word of 2023, according to Merriam-Webster dictionary is “authentic?”

I found that eye-opening and refreshing. I’m not sure what the context is for this search, but I do love the energy of the word in terms of a potential wave of curiosity around this expression of alignment.

Being authentic is about staying true to yourself and what you value, and coming from a pure state of alignment with feelings matching actions and words. It’s a state of integrity and personal responsibility, as well as a desire to embody your essence and speak from your heart’s voice.

The more we lean into our authenticity, the richer life experiences play out.

Talking about the heart’s voice leads me to briefly share this dream I had a few days ago that was beautiful beyond measure in experience.

In this dream I was with someone I’ve not met in person, yet, in this life. We both feel we’ve been sisters, though, in another. The two of us had collected gorgeous flowers of all varieties – small to large and all colors and fragrances. They were just the blossoms and had a beautiful aroma. We preserved and prepared them with intention, and then took them down to the water’s edge to spread them.

This was a very sacred act. As the flowers floated across the surface, they infused the water of the inlet with a beautiful scent that rose in the air and was like a warm inviting bath. The molecular structure of the water shifted and this sacred energy of the blooms was like alchemy to the ocean’s collective waters.

We were in the water while doing this and watched the flowers as they flowed out into the wide open ocean.

Later in the dream, we were walking on a path that seemed connected to my old childhood home I spent the largest part of my life and important growing years in. We look down and see a stunning crystal heart on the path. It’s this insanely brilliant, deep pinkish magenta and it’s all aglow and glistening like fractals of starlight bursting from its facets. It was so magickal and powerful.

We picked it up together and heard it speak. It told us that it was “The Heart of Mu.” We held it in our hands, sensing something ignite, and feeling the full circle potency of all that these experiences meant.

A reflection on origins and the heart’s ability to reweave at the cellular and molecular level, as it spreads love’s alchemy across the land and collective. Just like my vision of the nest in my last post spoke of:

“…the rhythmic pattern of love and intentions woven into the most intricate and devoted ways. A labyrinth of commitment and dedication to the seeds cultivated within. A swathing of content interlacing dreams into forms and embodying a sacred geometry of the heart’s expression.”

And that feels like the place to stop for today as this short touch-in, with hopes these images and shares add warmth to the unfolding season and a spark to this New Moon.

As promised, today is the 12/12 New Moon crystal skull release, which can be found at the link.

As I prepared these crystal skulls for release, they have worked with and assisted my second group of skulls, so they have a beautiful connection and integral part in the collective work unfolding. Most of them have been around since Astrid was still with me physically too. A couple of them are master carved and all of them are uniquely offering some wonderful energies for these times.

Synchronously, in the video about the golden healer star traveler, I mention my neighbors talking while I’m recording and they happen to be discussing a bear that visited one of their homes. Perhaps it might have been our golden bear friend that came to ours.

Since I posted about that visitation, we’ve also found three large pumpkins out front of our house – two on the street and one on our front yard. Our next door neighbors have large pumpkins on their front yard since October. Well, a bear has taken to rolling the pumpkins in front of our house and then tearing open the tops and filling its tummy for Winter.

I also had another close friend of mine that shares a lot of Cosmic connection, tell me about a blonde grizzly bear in her dream that she and I were both in. To me, connecting with the golden bear alchemy. The dream had a lot of messaging, but one thing I loved in it was that she said the bear and each of us, were all individually sledding uphill – magickally somehow. And the bear was very exuberant – which ties to my golden bears from the dream I had who were equally enlivened.

So, the themes continue, the adventures of life take new turns, and love spreads its powerful alchemy in deeply rich ways. Even when our physical eyes don’t see evidence, the heart knows.

There’s several new things upcoming this month, but for now I’m savoring the moment and taking some time for holiday sweetness in between it all. That makes me think some baking is in store! Mmmmm!

Hope you’re able to be present to the real gifts around you too!

Days continue to straddle two seasons here, as Winter kisses Autumn’s cheek every chance she gets.

Hikes have been brisk and invigorating in the 30’s recently, nights hitting the teens, winds feeling like the North Pole streaming in, and every corner turned is a surprise left by Jack Frost himself with beautiful lace blankets of sparkling ice draped over everything he can get his hands on.

It’s all quite beautiful, vibrant, and rich with the potentials of the in between.

I especially love the hidden frost covering tree trunks, downed logs, leaves, and crunchy ground beneath my feet.

Everything flickers in the sunlight like jewels and feels alive as if the faeries are winking at you as you pass through their realm.

Now and then things will warm up slightly in degrees, but then we receive moisture and mornings waking to more hints of Winter white, frost, or icy dew drops and faery puddles.

Yesterday we hiked over to the gondola from our neighborhood and rode it up with our season passes to check out the levels of snow at top and what was open, as well as to get a new perspective view from way up above.

Snow is slim, but revealed the enchantment upcoming, and we’re feeling we might explore one of the runs this week to just warm up while the weather is beautiful and things are quiet.

It’s a very different year so far in terms of moisture, as forecasts aren’t showing consistent days of snow until maybe later this month – although things change moment-to-moment.

Last Winter’s historical snow year already had us with tons of snow that started I believe at the end of October.

We never know what may come in any moment, day, month, or year. And that is part of the adventure, as well as the open invitation for partnering in the collective unfolding.

How do we want to experience each day, no matter what is showing up?

And how might we in fact create a different way when we drop into alignment instead of fight?

It’s been a while since I last posted, as we were entertaining my mother-in-law for a week and then I had a lot to catch up on after that, which I still am. So, I’m just emerging between the fullness of my days here to touch in and see also how year’s end is winding up for you – my friends and collective family.

We did share some full days with Dave’s mom, and the weather was equally supportive to that with much sunshine and opportunity for a mix of outdoor immersions with entertainment activities.

The great outdoors were particularly cold during her stay, so we were always bundled up on the hikes we took her on – some of which were shared with one of our friends here.

We also joined my family for a larger Thanksgiving celebration than usual that they both also joined us for, which was a really warm day that filled our tummies and hearts with good stuff!

Having the week off was nice and getting back to a full, varied, but balanced life is equally nice. I’ve been, and will continue to be, quite busy through end of year, but am keeping the rhythm of equilibrium going throughout my days.

That’s included our new wellness routines indoors, coupled with our outdoor exercise, some time with friends, bouncing through several work focuses at once, and daily goals for other ongoing projects. One project was this new and aligned-with-energies sacred arm tattoo design (this one flowed like liquid silk) that is actually getting inked today into “Spiritual Skin.”

We’ve found ourselves fluidly shifting schedules too, which feels to reflect the high level of energy we have running through us, along with going with the flow of change that seems to be calling us to shift things around.

Even the slightest of changes can make a difference and/or even make things feel fresh and new. I don’t know if others of you are experiencing similar, but we’ve found ourselves getting up much earlier and going to bed earlier while also changing our intermittent fasting window of eating to an hour earlier on each end.

It all feels invigorating and I seem to be getting more done than usual, even with staying flexible. Part of that is my level of energy, and part of that is receiving the supportive energy because of aligning with what felt to be the natural progression of change.

I continue to also find a lot of physical activity and body focus to be supportive of my needs and the changes. Even when I’ve been in my mourning waves with Astrid, it’s physical movement that keeps my heart strong on all levels. If I don’t move energy, that’s when I notice undercurrents that I can detect physically. We each have different needs and ways to support the flow and balance of energy within, and mine happen to point in this direction for me.

As part of our time away a couple of months ago, we were immersed in an extremely physically demanding (even as in shape as we are) cycling tour that had us biking 236 miles in five days along varied and challenging terrain. Not something I’ve ever done, but it did me good especially in helping my experiences with Astrid – to integrate and process through the body, things that needed support in movement. It also spoke to me of my capabilities I wouldn’t have known were possible without actually doing it.

I know that physical loss continues to crash over the collective in waves, as I keep seeing and hearing of so many crossing over in human and animal form, or experiencing challenging times that may lead to loss. It’s not easy, I know. I hope that where ever possible, if this is something you are going through, that you can find the support that assists you in the way you need. Deep sadness, heartache, and trauma can lead to physical challenges if we can’t find a channel to process that energy in the way that is unique to each of us and can benefit us most.

The hardest of times do call upon our hearts when it seems our hearts can do no more. And yet our hearts are not limited in the way we feel them to be. It is when we fight to close the door on its expansiveness, that the heart aches for us to not shut it out. Reaching into and surrendering more to love strengthens the heart’s muscles to do what it exists for…to continue to love and transmute that which we think is impossible.

And it is also with our hearts that we can reach out to others instead of closing our doors. Love and kindness are the key to so much.

I was seeing the image of a nest in my mind’s eye just yesterday and the rhythmic pattern of love and intentions woven into the most intricate and devoted ways. A labyrinth of commitment and dedication to the seeds cultivated within. A swathing of content interlacing dreams into forms and embodying a sacred geometry of the heart’s expression.

The nest as a weaving of the heart wanting never to cease spreading its energy in the exquisite way only love knows how.

Isn’t it sweet that we found this nest as part of the decorations on one of the little pine trees we see on a favorite walk we do?

There were two little decorated-with-love trees that are year-round gifts to see on this web of intersecting forest trails.

People from the neighborhood change out the decorations each year for others to discover and enjoy woodland enchantment that kindles an inner heart smile.

Even our little gnome friend continues to hang from a tree in the forest behind our house.

You can feel the season of extra wonder in the air, although it’s always there to embrace.

And talk about wonder…November 27th’s early morning Gemini Full Moon was a special one here, as Frith made an appearance again.

The Moon was stunning the evening before, as we dropped Dave’s mom off in Reno and then the very next morning I see Frith hopping about and then dashing quite rapidly off after several minutes of tuning in.

He’s very deliberate with the timing of his appearances and with the rabbits’ and Astrid’s connection with the Moon – it’s extra potent to align himself on these portals for me.

And just minutes after Frith was on the scene, a really large red tailed hawk swooped in and landed on a tree directly out back from our house. This is a resident hawk I see now and then in the area, but this was the closest he had come so far. The timing felt connected with Frith, as I’ve mentioned before that hawks, although predator to rabbits, have always shown up as guardians and wayshowers from beyond when important events have taken place with my bunny loves.

We also had just celebrated our six year anniversary living in this house on the 25th, which has always been connected to Gratitude Day – kind of a cool time to move into a new home.

I think you might recall that I made promises to the Fae of the land here to care for everything in this domain – seen and unseen.

Well, that morning we went out back for a hike and the first thing I found was a pure raw, clear quartz with tiny faery rainbows in it, sitting on the ground by the one large pine tree directly behind our house that was deemed a habitat tree that could not be cut down for fire mitigation purposes.

I walk there all the time and know the rocks and plants on the ground, including a quartz rock I placed there.

This one was never there before, but was on this day, sparkling bright. I immediately felt the gratitude from the Fae and shared reverence in this gift they gave me.

Sometimes messages are faint and other times loud.

Sometimes we have no clue how things will happen and sometimes we have a sense or steps for how to move forward.

If you continue to just show up and do one small thing different each day or in the direction of movement, then you gently support yourself to lean into trust. That kind of soft surrender to the moment’s flow, speaks to being exactly where you are meant to be. Things start to line up and you may hear the dialogue in your head change to a supportive voice that continues creating a more nurturing reality of potentials.

Truth does not need to prove itself, nor does it require a battle. So when you hear a tiny whisper, take heed, for this quiet one does not clamber for your attention like louder external voices do. The magick of you is your essence embraced – the permeating softness of your heart unleashed.

And that’s a little update for now and some heart messages that wanted to come through.

I’ll be back before year’s end and in fact will have a very special Crystal Skull offering upcoming on 12/12. This group will include some rare, some master carved, and all now-aligned beings. I’ll likely share videos again of these beauties that have been part of key work and preparations here and part of my assisting them to get ready to be released into the world as well. I’ll try to announce before they go live that day, but if for some reason I don’t, please check the link above to see if any call for what you are creating at this time. You can always reserve one and we can work out details, but do let me know, so your heart resonance is answered.

The Magick Rabbit Ornaments did all sell out (thank you!), but you can at any time request a custom at the link while I have ornaments available. With my schedule becoming really full, I am winding things down until I have space again. I am currently not removing any of the links from my site for offerings, as I will feel into what I’m capable of supporting at any given time someone might reach out. Thank you for understanding if in fact I can’t take on a request right away.

There are several more exciting Talks With Crystal Skulls episodes upcoming so if you haven’t checked out the first two, or aren’t subscribed, and want to receive updates when they do come out, you can do so at my channel here: TaniaMarieMagick

Yep, I’m keeping busy…or shall I say, the Crystal Skulls and Cosmic Rabbits are sure keeping me busy! LOL!

And in closure for today’s post, I’m sharing Lee’s supportive Energy Update for this last month of 2023. This month will be the last I share Lee’s amazing updates via my blog, as 2024 will begin a reset of things here. But since I know many of you also love his messages, I encourage you to subscribe to his YouTube channel to receive these directly, if in fact you don’t already or you have been receiving them only from me or others who share them. I will continue to tune in with him too, but am not always able to keep timely with when these come out anymore due to my own timelines for things. So, to ensure you receive them at the start of the month, if in fact you love their support, then you can have these updates sent direct by going to his YouTube channel and subscribing.
