We’ve just received the light of the Virgo Full Moon – also known as the Snow Moon – that illuminated fully this morning of 2/24/24 – cool numerology there don’t ya think? It comes just two days before my birthday and apparently we’re forecasted to have snow that day as well. So this Winter baby is feeling all the feels of the season and energies igniting my 51st.

Although we won’t be in an historical hobbit hole of snow caves for this birthday, I’m still enjoying being in my quieter cave and also happy that we’ve recently received a bit more snow to add to a hugely contrasting season from last year.

We enjoyed three days in a row of waking to fresh inches – six new inches on each of the mornings of the 19th and 20th, and then another three inches on the morning of the 21st. Yay!

That’s made for some great snow shoeing adventures and breathtaking landscapes that can lighten any day.

Some people have shared that this Moon has felt intense leading up to today. For me, I’ve been feeling extra sleep has been nurturing to the experience of a lot of integration in my physical body taking place and downloads streaming in, in accelerated fashion.

This Full Moon may invite you into a deeper dive of healing energies and ways to create greater wellness and sense of peace in your life. If blocks and fears have been taking up more space, this is an opportune time to initiate some cleansing rituals so that you can create more room for the things that bring you joy and peace. Do things that help ground you, pay attention to and take care of the fine details, and stay the course of what you’ve put in motion with commitment and personal integrity.

In my own life I indeed have found myself focusing on those details and fine-tuning things to better align with intentions and where I feel things heading. It’s driven me to make more adjustments to where my energy and time are focused – removing and adding what threads into all of that. I’ll share more on this, some new offerings, and birthday release at the end, as I like to have the focal point of posts to be on inspirations and any guided messages that feel to be of support.

I did feel to put out a blog before my birthday, as I’m wanting a more quiet and low-key one this year that will have a soft intention of deepening into the new cycle I am journeying. And since my family shared a combined celebration of my, my brother’s, and my mom’s birthdays on Valentine’s Day this year, we’ll be letting the actual day unfold without plans. Check out dad’s incredible three layer vegan cake he baked for all three of us! Weeeeeee!

This also comes after our having quite a full couple of weeks with visitors that were here back-to-back over the course of eleven days with only two days downtime in between.

So, the spaciousness is a welcome friend right now and opportune to harnessing the codes I feel awakening within.

During those visits we had some great ski days, and I had a couple of particularly great days on the mountain in fresh snow, feeling anchored in my adventurous and athletic nature – in awe that skiing is a thing I actually do and have progressed so much at.

On one of those days – the 12th – that feeling was highlighted with seeing this Sun halo, which also confirmed a thought I was exploring for the future.

And then, AGAIN, we saw another Sun halo (below) just yesterday morning on the 23rd when I was tuning in and asking about something else, which was later confirmed upon my arrival home with my pulling the Ace of Cups Tarot card.

I just love how many signs and messages show up these days for us all in really profound and consistent ways.

Is it that they are actually increasing in appearance, does it speak to our being more aware, or have we invited more cocreating to be part of our lives from our collective web of support? Perhaps it’s all of these in divine convergence.

I do feel like there’s a profound and rapid level of cycles moving through and that has involved a lot of continued grieving energy on many layers for souls and pieces of our lives moving on.

This may be because of all of the transformative energies we are deeply integrating these days, and the need for that energy to merge into harmonic alignment. But no matter the reason, these times do call for finding ways to navigate change and create support systems and processes to assist what truly is a natural part of the cycles of consciousness in totality of being – to keep moving and traveling through the various layers of interwoven experience and emotion that are all connected.

If you find yourself moving through loss, have you found ways to support your grieving so that the energy continues to flow through?

Creating a ritual can add meaning to the process – perhaps lighting a candle, planting a tree or seeding your memorial garden – any way you can find to honor the gifts of that person or part of your life that has moved on. This helps focus energy on the valuable ways these people and experiences have had impact for you, which creates forward momentum with the love and gratitude it will bring up.

Journaling and writing out your feelings and thoughts is also a great way to move energy, so that it doesn’t stay stuck in the hurt and pain alone. This supports the transmutation of feelings, as you allow the raw emotion to have a voice and outlet without becoming an energy block.

Maybe creating an altar in honor of the person or part of your life may speak to you.

Engaging your creativity and creating something artistic could also be a way of remembrance and moving through emotional energy, by deriving inspiration from the beauty of the connection and meaning in your life. Perhaps this may bring new ideas or ways to harness your creative life force and rebirthing phoenix energy, which honors the wholeness that both life and death are One as.

Finding support in a grief group might be helpful for some people, talking with a counselor, therapist, or coach, or leaning into allowing friends or loved ones to be there and listen or to do things with to help when the emotions get tough.

Sometimes you just need your own space, quiet, and personal explorations that suit your individuality and being with yourself and the emotions, as you know how, is the best thing.

All of us, though, I think can benefit from quality time spent in and with Nature. Mother Earth has the best way of knowing how to support those cycles and movements, while nourishing and being nourished by the symbiotic relationship you share with Her.

There are many ways to experience healing and help during the cycle of change that can affect everyone so differently. One of the main things to remember, is taking care of yourself the best way you can – honoring your process, allowing emotions to flow, being extra gentle with yourself during your grieving, tending to your needs on all levels, and especially not forgetting your physical wellness – eating, hydrating, grounding, nature time, getting good rest, and honoring the space you might need to consciously move through things that reflects your unique experience.

Working with crystals, sound healing, body work, yoga, exercise, dancing, singing, etc. are some other ways you can assist your energetic field to flow, your body to experience its resilience, and overall for you to find your natural course back to balance.

Grief is challenging for most people, as when you’re in the midst of it or it comes on fast, it can feel quite traumatic and send a ripple of downward spiraling and feel never-ending until or unless the softening occurs. One never really ends grief, but it does fade and joy can actually reside alongside pain and loss. In fact, grief and pain can actually be a connective bridge for joy and sweetness. And while grief comes in waves of intensities, between those waves and even after the crest of each, pockets of potential are activated that only the doorway of pain helps to access.

No one likes having to go through the pains, and yet I can only speak for myself, that it’s in the toughest emotional intensities, losses, and hurts, that some of the biggest alchemy leaps and transmutations have taken place in my life. I don’t fear the pain, even though the pain isn’t something I run toward. I just know that the nature of being is cycles and all things rise from the ashes in incredible ways when I lean into the inherent beauty of every piece of wholeness.

And speaking of wholeness guides me to share one of the recent sacred tattoo designs I cocreated with a beautiful soul. I only had a four inch by four inch space to work with, but one can still pack in a lot with symbolism.

I won’t go into all the personal details about it, but overall it embodies a mandala that has a more organic, alive flow to it than purely a perfected sacred geometry focus, that reflects a “womb of creation” with unfolding natural harmony and the feeling of pulsing energy, movement of a birthing, creating and recreating. There is the essence of vulnerable strength I wanted to capture, authentic processes, and transitions of life in motion.

There’s a triskele/triskelion at center to anchor the cycles of life and energy in motion of interconnectedness with endings and beginnings as One. It is layered over an organic, but balanced tree of life with spiraling roots that anchor and fluidly flow – receiving and giving nourishment – and an eight petaled flower for additional universal harmony, infiniteness, prosperous growth, personal power, regeneration, and wholeness energies to add to the wisdom and enlightenment of the tree’s cycles and embodiment of spirit experiencing the fullness of integration.

There are also three Runes included that spoke to personal things for the soul this was created for, but they include Ansuz (Voice of the Universe), Laguz (water/ocean), and Sowilo (Sun). There are also three butterflies layered on each side of the tree, emerging from the center, as if it was the cocoon and they are in fluid motion of accelerated flight of creative cycles. And last, there are tulips of renewal/rebirth on each side extending from multiple layered symbolism of three stems, blades of grass, water in motion, flames, and energy or sound waves.

You might see why I shared the design and some of the symbolism in it, as it does speak to the collective cycles we’re navigating that grief is a part of along the journey of undoing into ashes, to rise again in an innovative way.

There’s truly so much one could write about these days because of everything streaming in so quickly, but I find it’s better to stay in the stillness of each moment and allow things to deepen more before trying to voice what is going on in the energetic realms. There will come a place and time for more, and/or a different way to share it.

For now, I’m leaning into what feels like quite a transformative year with many surprises and turns around each corner.

If you, too, are experiencing deep breaths and exhales into more expansive embodiment, then I hope some of these Winter landscapes and images shared, have the perfect coding for you.

And that leads me to some updates about new and upcoming offerings and changes to current ones.

FULL MOON GIVEAWAY:

I know most of my friends here aren’t on Instagram, but for anyone that is, just a quick heads up that Mody Ra and I teamed up for a Giveaway that runs through the end of today – 11:59pm PST. We are gifting the winner one Ancient Egyptian Alabaster Skull that Mody has carved (you get to choose the one that speaks to you out of 3 skulls) and I am gifting a personal channeling message from The Speakers. Details on how to enter are at my Instagram page – @taniamariemagick

BIRTHDAY DISCOUNT & CRYSTAL SKULL PARTY:

And for those of you who aren’t on Instagram to share in the giveaway fun, I do have an upcoming release this weekend of skulls you may not want to miss – my way of celebrating my birthday with all of you since I don’t have any big plans. I didn’t have time to get them up for today’s post, but please check back at the Crystals & Crystal Skulls page this weekend, as listings will go live anytime between today and Monday. If you’ve been coveting any of the remaining skulls or crystals awaiting homes, I’ll be sharing a special birthday discount on them to help make those heart connections happen. And then there will be a new group of special ones ranging from smaller to larger – some including dragon consorts for The Year of the Dragon and several emanating the “blue ray” of energy that I keep strongly receiving as a key message. Something for everyone and each budget. I specifically chose some of these to bridge to you, as I know many of you don’t have access or know where to go to find your crystalline friends, but have been doing the necessary preparation to get them ready, and awaiting for their reveal.

SACRED TATTOO DESIGNS:

I will be taking a break again from custom tattoo designs. This offering is only available through the end of this month – February 29th and then I’ll be removing the page link from my website. So, if this was something you’ve been thinking about, you can still take advantage of the discounted offering I’ve made available at Custom Tattoos for a few more days.

INTUITIVE GUIDANCE SESSIONS:

These sessions are still available with one session or package session options to support you through any aspect of life you’re navigating. I can currently welcome up to four new clients, if this is or has been of interest. Packages are also available with payment options, just as I also support with crystal and crystal skull adoptions. And if you don’t see a package option that fits your needs, please reach out and I can create one for you.

ONLINE REIKI CERTIFICATION TRAINING & EMPOWERMENT SERIES:

The uptick in Reiki training continues and support with integrating this into everyday life, as well as wanting to dive into the potential zones and expanding one’s way of experiencing life have been in line with the rapid shifts. The feedback on the Reiki courses has included people feeling that even though some of them had gone through Reiki training before (wanting to renew their relationship to it) – that they found these to be especially resonant with a freeing way of experiencing Reiki with greater excitement and fresh perspective that aligns with the now. These online courses are all easily found at the links included here.

TALK WITH YOUR CRYSTAL SKULLS SESSIONS:

And last, this is a new offering that comes because of receiving many inquiries and nudges from others. People who are especially new to bringing home a crystal skull or have a growing collective of them are looking for help with how to connect with their skulls, hear them, receive names, and what to do or how to work with them – essentially how to “talk with your crystal skulls.” And although I do and will be sharing some tidbits in episodes of Talks With Crystal Skulls, the kind of personalized attention and time is something apparently people have shared needing more of. So, I am now offering “Talk With Your Crystal Skulls” Sessions – a kind of mentoring and one-on-one exploration where I can help you to discover your way with your skulls. You can find that new offering and more details here: Talk With Your Crystal Skulls Sessions

(End note: As I just finished writing this post, the fattest, biggest raccoon we’ve ever seen, and actually the first we’ve seen at the house, just waddled across our back deck in the dark – how’s that for some embracing change and exploring new possibilities energy? Into the mysterious playfulness and inner child realms we go!)

It’s always love day in my life because the heart chakra is the portal that rules my world. I find that when we let love lead, the rest falls into place. Vulnerable strength comes by leaning into the heart’s wisdom. The heart has a power that’s undeniable when we surrender to it.

All the things our minds would rather try and work out, the heart simply does by natural alchemy.

True, it’s not always easy to step into the heart space, especially if you’ve had years of conditioned structures built up around it for protection. Yet the moment you say “yes” to a little more vulnerability, the door cracks open and love feels like a gentle, fresh breeze tousling your inner child’s hair with a long awaited welcome.

I’ve shared the photos laced through this post before, but they always speak to me as the epitome of love and the sweetest love story I know – perfect shares I feel for Valentine’s Day. I will never get over the way these two formed hearts with their entwined bodies, and would touch temples together in communion with one another.

These two – Cosmo and Joy – and all of my bunny loves have been on my mind and heart a lot and today – Valentine’s Day – couldn’t go by without sharing these most memorable photos of the two sweet angels that embodied the meaning of this day and LOVE.

Cosmo, my special needs son, was and always will be the epitome of unconditional love and he cast his heart’s spell on Joy – helping her to surrender and lean into a deepening love and interdependency, rather than independence. Joy was always a sweet angel, but Cosmo supported her into the next evolution of her deepening transformation, while Joy provided her strength and love to enrichen Cosmo’s solo journey into a super power bond.

The power of one is great, but two joined in heart is unstoppable.

These angels – rabbits – have taught me true, unconditional love and opened my heart to greater expanse forever.

Love Day is every day for me, especially because of the souls in rabbit bodies who have been my best friends.

The heart chakra became my logo, if you recall, which I called the Emerald Bridge and in fact, that logo shows up in each episode of Talks With Crystal Skulls.

Having learned the alchemy possible through this vortex portal, it has been a focal point of my life and life’s work. So any day that we can talk a little extra about love and focus on the heart is a good day to me!

I wrote this a while back, and felt like today was also a good day to reshare it.

The Bridge…..

See what someone can become – their wholeness of being, not solely what they appear to be or the temporary clothing they wear.

See the magnificence of possibility in an individual that resides as their essence. Then you can see what they are attached to as a current reality – their pain, their tragedies, their story of incompleteness.

By doing this you create the space between – an immeasurable void of enlightenment.

You see what is and what could be.

This place is the origin and return where the stars of the Cosmos are alive within.

When you meet someone in this void and infuse intent into the starry constellations of the heart center, a shift will occur and becoming is activated into being.

Stars move and form anew.

Love is the Bridge.

~

The Heart Chakra is where unconditional love resides. It is the balancing integrator of opposites (between body and spirit, male and female, persona and shadow, ego and unity) and acts as an energetic “bridge” between the lower and upper chakras.

Love is the most powerful energy in the Universe and is a vital energy to be focusing on every moment of every day, more so now than ever. Holding your hand over your heart with conscious connection, for even just minutes a day, can help you to stay present in your heart, help heal and open it to greater depths. It can help you to see with eyes of love and choose, respond, and act from love. Ask for help in doing so from your guides, angels, your Source connection and even ask your essence to be present in your higher heart always.

Heart awareness is a game changer.

Love is the alchemy.

And if you would love a little friend to help with a powerful heart boost, one of the crystal skulls I recently released is a perfect wisdom keeper and guide for that journey – the Emerald Skull. Emerald is known as “the stone of successful love” that opens the heart chakra, nurtures the capacity for giving and receiving unconditional love, and supports emotional healing and equilibrium for more nourishing relationships.

That beauty, along with three other powerful skull friends, are still looking for their cocreators. If you would like any added insight about them, I’d be happy to assist.

Mody is also providing a Valentine’s Day special on his skulls, so any at the link will receive 15% off through the end of today. If you are called to anyone, please reach out and I can put you in touch with him, or if you’re on Instagram you can directly message him at his page.

Thank you Cosmo and Joy for always being such beautiful ambassadors of love.

And thank you to everyone who is doing their best each day to open the heart door to your inner world of love potential a little further.

There is so much love to discover and no end to how far we can go with loving even more.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Aquarius New Moon, today, and soon-to-be Chinese New Year of the Wood Dragon tomorrow! If things have felt intense whether in your personal experience or via feeling the outside world through your sensitivities, this New Moon may bring a flash of fresh air and inspire a surge of innovation.

This is a great time for reflecting upon the ways in which you’ve felt confined or held back in your life, and how you might harness a new outlook or invite a sense of motivation toward creative changes. Something electrifying to your life direction, parts of self you’re accustomed to, and even to your dreams, may stir an invigorated spark for creating a different version of reality to align with how you really feel.

I’ve been in a quiet (curled up cozy) mode again – these seem to come in waves – as I allow all that I feel to just flow and swirl within and around me. I try not to grab onto any one thing, and encourage myself to find even greater peace and trust with things in flux and in a different state than what might feel more comfortable.

Winter, here, continues to be odd and also in constant flux.

One week we’re walking our sparse-to-no-snow neighborhood streets and finding exposed sights we wouldn’t otherwise see if the heavy snow of last year were covering them – like this Troll portal door and mini Otherworld someone created for others to enjoy.

I love the giant door created on this Troll rock house with chimney even! And the pathway leading up with all the little Troll magick along the way.

The next week there’s snow covering everything and even white outs from a passing storm.

We did have a decent one (storm that is) that brought great powder to the mountains this past weekend and made for invigorating skiing. I had a couple of great days on the mountain this week, exploring by myself and feeling the joys of my achievements in what once was a huge challenge. Skiing has become one of my biggest accomplishments and proves how one can master their fears. I got in the most vertical feet I’ve done in a day because great snow makes for a hoppy ski bunny to feel extra confident.

The much welcome breaks on the expansive mountain tops were an opportunity to breathe in deeply, exhale with surrender, and feel the incredible new powder beneath me like a fresh slate.

I found myself in a meditative…flow, wind, flow, wind…gliding along down the slopes like a wintery serpent.

Everything is a weaving of alchemy if we view it as such.

There is so much potential available.

And the landscapes I found myself in were the things my dreams are made of.

Just look at these dreamy winterscapes…ahhhhh the crisp essence and sweeping majesty of it all.

The colors are of pure potential and the mystical blues that pervade my visions and the watery realms of my cosmic heart.

There’s something extra enchanting about the perfect flocked trees.

And Winter’s light, both illuminating and revealing shadows in a dance of perfection.

The watery realms have been communicating loudly and they mirror both the oceans between land here and the cosmic waters between the worlds of beyond.

I feel this may be part of the extra quiet I feel, as it’s a deepening and listening that is happening on new levels. The watery realms are those that call for feeling and emanating that which is felt within, without. Telepathy feels on high right now, and doesn’t surprise me, as this is where we’re headed more…to be able to project thoughts and feelings without the limitation of words, in a fluid way.

This is part of why cetaceans are showing up a lot for many people in increase to the regular frequency they may have been already. But it’s also about our being ready to be able to receive, hear, and understand the coding they message that will assist current and upcoming changes necessary.

That reminds me that I had a dream two nights ago…not about cetaceans, but about water. In summary, I was inside a room of some large structure that had an atrium in the center where a dark pool of water was, with rocks and surrounding wild area. This felt like another world within the world inhabited by humans but residing together. I was watching as two little girls walked by the pond and bent down at the water, proceeding to pull out giant frogs (another prevalent animal spirit that shows up and quite fitting). They were removing the frogs and seemed to want to take them with them, and this made me not happy. Then I noticed one of them picking up a rabbit that had been laying in the bushes. At this point I went down stairs and over to them and proceeded to shoo them off, telling them they couldn’t take the animals and disturb them. It was interesting being they were children, whom I resonate with always, and yet their energy was that of not understanding the sacredness of this area and that their actions were damaging to these beings.

The girls left and I put the frogs back in the water. And then I saw two rabbits. One was laying curled up asleep and peaceful between some rocks over the dark pond and the other was huddled in some bushes in pain. I noticed this one had been injured…no bloody mess in the dream…but that his fur down to skin had been split open over the top of one of his back legs and it seemed like the leg was dislocated or the bottom part of that side of the body was detaching.

He was in pain and I held him with intention of comforting him through his process and as I turned to look at the other rabbit that was a bit larger than this one, I realized that she was laying in the exact position of this white rabbit I painted as part of the Cosmic Egg Blossom Mandala.

I felt the depth of connection tying them both together. That the one incubating in a cosmic egg womb, so to speak, was an extension of this rabbit transitioning and was transmuting all of the feelings and energies from the other in complete tranquility of potent stillness. The sleeping rabbit was readying to birth and I was here honoring and comforting the one that was dying.

There was this sense of the rabbit over the dark primordial water, inhabited by giant frogs (of metamorphosis, renewal, rebirth and fertile creative energy like the rabbits), as this other rabbit was suffering in pain that felt deeply reflective of the alchemy at hand, collectively and individually, taking place beneath all the immense and intense change – a simultaneous recreation birthing from the old that is dying.

I woke the next morning to find that Frith had been active in the garden, leaving clear rabbit tracks back and forth in the fresh white snow of potential.

And that feels like a good place to stop for today’s short post to welcome in the New Moon and Lunar New Year, while honoring my own potent stillness.

I do have a little something to help celebrate with as well – an Aquarius New Moon Crystal Skull Release.

Last week I did have a group of six skulls move on to loving new homes that were shared in personal showings, but today’s group just announced wanting to be introduced for today’s energy and offered to everyone. I always listen to their timing. So, I literally pulled together quick videos of each for listings at the last minute and found this the easiest way to share without being overwhelming with work on my side.

Some have supported my own transformational journey and are ready to do the same for others. Some I sensed would only be with me temporarily to assist the energy grid here of skulls and crystals, as part of my role is to support them to do their work AND get to their people (reflecting energetic support for what people are going through), which plays out in different streams of experience. While they are with me, I assist them into their purity, let them work with the collective here to both prepare them for their travels onward and to activate necessary keys within the skulls that stay.

It’s a beautiful process that is sacred and humbling to support. I am overjoyed by every interaction no matter how short or long.

This new group has a lot of master carved and smaller ones, which I know more people are drawn to especially if starting their crystal skull family, plus one larger one. I did this short video so you can decide if anything calls to explore further at the link here: Crystals & Crystal Skulls

The video includes the last two crystals remaining that can be great wands to activate your skull and crystal grids or help to move energy through them. I have some DT’s myself for this purpose in my grid and wand to activate each session I do with them.

Also, Mody shared with me some new pieces that include two stunning Isis skulls in white and black rare ancient stones, along with a cobra bearing the ankh at its hood, and some dragons (for the Year of the Dragon – although one is off to its home already). They can be found at the link here (scroll near the bottom of page for the new pieces): Egyptian Skulls & Dragons by Mody Ra

A short post today, mainly to introduce the next episode of Talks With Crystal Skulls and just a few reflections I was guided to share – not to mention welcoming in a new month. Yay February and birthday month! Can you believe we’re already a month into 2024?

I love that today’s episode is #5 and it lands on my dear twin soul’s birthing (Nestor), who began the messaging of my favorite number right after she passed. And this messaging has continued with all my dear ones that have transitioned back to the stars. I also love that February is the official “Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month” – how fitting is that? And although I’m not adopting a rabbit, I do have five that still grace my life with their magick and wisdom.

Just as fast as we’ve hit the second month of this new year, it’s amazing to think that Nestor was born onto this Earth plane now 21 years ago – Wow!

Queen Nestor is pure royalty, indeed, just like Astrid. You can see how proudly she wears her New Years hat like a crown – perfect for the upcoming Year of the Wood Dragon. Nestor loves dragons and was depicted with them in my painting “Air” of the In Lak’ech series of Five.

I’m celebrating Nestor with this sweet collage of some of the only photos I have of her, since that was a time cell phones were not a thing yet. I sure do love you dear Nestor and miss our magickal times in the physical together.

I love that February 1st, Imbolc, is her birthday portal – the halfway mark between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. It’s so fitting that she led me to find this blog post from 5 (yes five) years ago, today.

The message in it from Astrid I feel is so on point with current collective experiences, that I felt guided to share it again: Ask Astrid Fridays ~ The Rabbit’s Corner: Your Higher Heart Can Free You

If you don’t read the full post, I’m copying part of the message she shared with me that I hope will speak to some of you navigating more challenging, darker, and grief-filled experiences. This is a story of how Astrid got trapped in the bathroom and what she gleaned and provided the wisdom for in her amazing ways – just like Nestor and all of my powerful soul companions in animal bodies have.

As I reached for the old vintage door knob and opened it, I saw her sitting on top of the toilet seat staring at me. She had in fact been closed into the dark bathroom and decided if she couldn’t get out the way she came in, she’d get higher, sit still, and hope I’d hear her heart in answer to my calls of her name.

“So what does this have to do with your message for today, Astrid?” I ask.

She replies, “This was my way of identifying with the people who find themselves struggling and feeling trapped in a dark place they can’t find a way out of. It happens to all of us and to struggle more is like sinking deeper into quicksand. It simply won’t help. These are the times to find your center, sit still while immersed in the dark, and elevate into your higher heart so that you can send and receive the clearest communication of love to where it’s needed the most, within and without.”

“What do you mean?” I ask.

“Well, when you feel lost, lonely, in pain, and are struggling, much of this involves a separation from love – the most expansive and unconditional kind. The gap grows wider between your ability to understand things because you enter the mind’s reasoning alone and abandon the heart’s knowing. While I sat in the dark I could feel all of that fear and anxiety – mine and the collective’s rush through me – and realized I could either go mad trying to claw my way a tunnel through impossible doors, OR I could elevate my heart and mind and open to a wider perspective that would free me. I could move into my higher heart and find the well of love there I could use to create the peace I needed for myself and the situation, while I calmed myself and used that clarity of heart to speak to you in the language of love telepathy that I knew would reach your heart,” Astrid explains.

To say I’m grateful to these incredible souls is an understatement. I’ve learned and grown the most because of them. I know no difference between human or animal. Once you learn the language of Love, you will understand there’s no limit to consciousness simply based on the body it resides in at this moment.

We’re in the midst of the first of two much needed Winter storms here, which looks like it will have February bringing us the most snow so far of the season – if the predictions are correct between now and next weekend. I had a feeling February could kick things in more, but this Winter has been unpredictable. Things shift every time they say snow is coming and it either turns to rain or nothing because of the higher-than-average temperatures. Of course it’s the opposite to last year’s historical year – doing that balancing act – but it’s been quite unusual with temperatures at times even rising into the 50’s, which is not a Sierra Nevada Winter norm.

Anyway, things are all over the place with energies for sure, and yet I feel more grounded and expansive than ever. I shared this yesterday on my Instagram page, but it felt resonant for today’s post:

I’ve been reflecting a lot and therefore less shares because of how much things are shifting. Energies are moving rapidly, and so much unpredictability is abound. Finding your balance helps to navigate your course through the twists and turns. We’ve oscillated between Autumn and Winter temperatures here, as we await the first of two storms that may get us back into the Winter swing. Nothing’s guaranteed, but the more we lean into the heart, it makes sense out of the senseless.

I find that the less structure and defining helps me to merge more organically with that free flow of energy and the streams of consciousness. Trying to only make order out of things like the left brain knows well with its analyzing and pulling for evidentiary logic, bypasses innate wisdom and divine harmony already present.

This is one of the things I’ve become so grateful for in having the guidance of wise beings like my soul family in animal bodies and crystalline and stone forms. The Speakers – a collective of souls that speak through the skulls that are in my presence – have exponentially supported the origin of ways my essence feels most at home with. The codings they weave I can’t express in words, but they reveal our way to the home we always were, at our eternal depths.

I haven’t yet done a session for myself, as each one for others or the collective has supported this expansion of essence ✨️ I am curious though.

If you don’t know what I’m speaking about, The Speakers and these channeling sessions were talked about in the Talks With Crystal Skulls episodes on my YouTube Channel and at the link just shared. And if these speak to you, I’m hoping maybe to gather some reflections from others about their experience to add to that page, as the questions I’ve been receiving are better expressed by those outside myself, experiencing.

For now, I’m listening… so so deeply…as it’s in those depths that much is revealed.

May these storms bring some much needed snow and support the deepest dives yet.

And speaking of deep dives, there are quite a few rabbit holes I’ve been hopping down, and the Ancient energies, especially Egyptian, have been connective dots for things unfolding.

I feel I’ll be sharing a bit more about that in the next episode of Talks With Crystal Skulls and this is also why I’m dedicating the next two episodes – 5 and 6 – to touching in with Egypt and those energies, as well as conversations with Mody Ra, but more to the point – bringing through that Ancient Egyptian portal access point for the undercurrent energies that I feel unearthing.

But back to today’s episode…this one is a short inside look at Mody’s workspace in Egypt and a bit of the carving process. He can only show us one small part because working with stones is a messy process that covers him in white dust and would be too hard to film, but the carving also takes hours (sometimes days, depending on details) since many of the stones are very hard material. The main focus is to be with him in Egypt and get a feel and look at the birthing process of a skull with Mody.

It’s a fun and light prelude to our next deep dive into Ancient Egyptian stones and their energies.

I hope you enjoy, and please remember if you’re seeing this via email you’ll need to click through to the actual post in order to watch the video.

And a little reminder that 2/11 is the cut-off for the special on intuitive guidance sessions/packages.

I do have crystal skulls available, however people reached out to me for personal showings, so I’m honoring those requests right now and will list any that are not homed. I will have more as well, so if you’d like to see them first, too, please let me know. Until then, the remaining crystal powerhouse wands are the only listings currently found at the Crystals and Crystal Skulls page. There are now only 2 left. I’m in process of a personal showing on groups of crystals so I’ll see what remains from that as well. Listings take much more time, so if you think you feel a crystal or crystal skull calling, this is both helpful on my end as well as will provide you a better look than I can do in listings.

And last, The Speakers Channeling Sessions continue to be profound experiences. I’ve updated the page with some info about these that I share when providing the messages to people about how they work and will continue to add others’ experiences, as I receive them.
