Shark: An Unexpected Ally to Navigate the Waters Ahead
The world is a very interesting field of experience these days, in terms of what is playing out, and it takes more expansive awareness to observe without attachment and charge and to then navigate how we want to take our own place within it all. I sense that many others are also feeling an inner messaging around taking a new path, yet doing so invites a greater trust of the unknown way to do that or where it’s leading.
I was recently corresponding with a friend about how we both feel this doorway is about inviting in utmost faith, but also a space of no stress or pressure, as these are the old ways and everything we do now is about a new way on the spiral of evolution.
I added that I feel called to relinquish all goal-oriented thinking and to simply enjoy the moment of what ever I have chosen to immerse myself in. With fullness of heart brought into each experience, things can organically morph and divine alignment is naturally achieved.
So while that may seem contrary to my strong Capricorn, mountain-climbing energies or entering a #1 year numerologically, it’s actually just tweaking perspective on it and creating a more balanced approach that utilizes the best of the energetic worlds to create a new way to each mountain top.
This has brought a huge relief to me and creates a much more fun approach and experience.
It’s not that I don’t have motivation or intention, it’s just that there’s a shift of process where intention is energy theme based and saturated in joy. Joy then results in the perfect outcome that doesn’t need dictatorship over. There’s still full force of momentum, but with a different kind of directive. When one is fully present in the expression of the moment in a way that engages wholeness of one’s frequency, then everything can be achieved with greater flow and grace and will always be in divine alignment.
This is natural harmony of essence in conscious motion of being.
My recent little family-time getaway ended up being a week’s long mini vacation, as it was extended an extra night. I only just got back home Friday, so am settling into things. It felt like a mini reset in a different terrain that looks out on the mountains we live in.
And when I got home I found my amaryllis plants in a new phase as well.
You may recall that my parents gave us an amaryllis plant on Thanksgiving that grew super tall and produced five blossoms on one pod and four on the other – nine in all. My parent’s plant produced six blossoms on one pod and four on the other – ten in total.
After the blossoms finished their cycle, I only removed the withered flowers and watched how they produced new pods. This was my first time with an amaryllis plant so it was fascinating to observe their evolution and learn about how you can regrow them after the bloom. My parents fully cut the stems and withered flowers, along with the plant and gave me their bulb to see what I could do with theirs too.
Well, I ended up regrowing their plant from just the original bulb they had remaining and the leaves on mine grew crazy long, while the flower pods got larger. I wasn’t sure if they were going to bloom again, but what I discovered when I returned home from the week away was that the pods had burst open to expose all of the dark papery seeds.
I thought that was a cool reflection of the week’s discussions and energetic shifts that took place, as I always have powerful talks with my brother when with him and this time was extra potent given the amount of hours of intentional and deeply explorative exchanges – its own explosive burst of activation.
I plan to prepare the seeds and then plant them. I read that although they germinate within a few weeks to a couple of months that it can take several years for seed grown amaryllis to reach blooming size.
So, we’ll see what evolves. I just thought it symbolically aligned with fresh starts and the seeding of new Earth experiences.
While away there was also another few days of storms that came in, so we were welcomed back home to a snowy fresh blanket of purity once again.
That leads me to some potent dreams that I feel guided to share, as they don’t seem to just be about my own experiences.
On March 1st, the first night at my parent’s house, I had a shark dream and interestingly, the first night back home on March 7th I had another shark dream.
The first one involved very large sharks that looked like bull sharks to me, as they had rounded heads and noses when looking from above, and yet there was a little bit of whale shark essence in terms of their blended personality. Whale sharks are docile giants and bull sharks are aggressive. There was a sense they had some of both, but were an unusual group in that any aggressive potentials were something they kept at bay by choice. These were highly intelligent and advanced sharks.
That dream involved a fleet of these very large sharks that we (me and some other people) were going to be riding, as they were the only ones who knew how to take us somewhere important. We met up with the shark fleets in the water and there were beings helping us to prepare for the journey. The sharks had something similar to a bit in their mouths like horses, with a handle at the top of their heads to be able to hold onto. Then you just straddled their backs in front of their dorsal fin. There was a special mask to place over the eyes and nose, which I understood was to help to see and breathe when the sharks would dive very deep to get where we were headed. I’m not exactly sure where they were taking us – it felt like an important, hidden place – but before the journey began, the shark I was riding starting talking to me telepathically. One of the things he said was that he had something he wanted to give me and then something like a crystal appeared with two other stones. I looked at the crystal and it had a blue eye at the center of it. It was flatter in shape and clear all around the eye. The other two pieces looked similar to ancient petrified wood, but in a rounder stone form. They seemed like keys for the travels ahead. That’s all I remember.
On symbolic levels, this dream journey felt reflective of where I’m at with my personal growth journey. Perhaps finding a way to navigate new or challenging situations with grace and courage…harmony with, acceptance of, or overcoming fears is something I found when looking things up around being with peaceful sharks. Yet it also spoke to me about the new path ahead into the depths of the unconscious and unknown realms to rebuild from the core out, but having the tools/keys to unlock the way and the protection of highly attuned help to guide and assist. I do believe this is true for us as a collective.
The night we returned home, the shark dream was different. In this dream I was braiding my hair into two braids – one on each side of my head. There’s an ancestral and ancient wisdom symbolism to braiding hair. It’s a weaving of knowledge and sacredness into braids, as well as reflects resiliency and interconnectedness. The three strands can stand for mind, body, and spirit and to me are also duality coming together into a third integrated strand of harmonious unity. Doing this act felt preparatory to the experience upcoming.
While I was finishing to braid my hair someone came and said they needed to take me somewhere. I arrived at a facility that was by water’s edge. I quickly learned that the waterways surrounding this place were filled with sharks, separated into different areas, and there was some kind of process where people were being told to carry raw meat to the edges of the sandy areas and wait for the sharks. The sharks would smell the meat and come in fast and take the meat from the people’s hands. Sometimes they were so fast that they would come up onto the sand at full speed like a motorboat beaching itself.
There was something around bravery with this and looking fear in the eye with love…standing there knowing you were calling in a shark and that they would be coming at you and taking the meat from your hand, and trusting that you would be okay and only the meat would be taken and not your arm or more. And yet this experience could be different for each person, as I sensed something was based around your purity of heart and how well you understood the principles and dynamics at work. It reminds me a lot about sacred rituals in ancient times where training like this was implemented for alchemical mastery. How one embodies vibrations and learns to master the Cosmic laws, foretells how they will experience the world around them. It can also signify the difference between cause and effect and knowing how to vibrationally align oneself with the experience of choice. So, this dream was initiatory in feeling and highly attuned with deep trust and conscious awareness.
Sharks are one of the most ancient and evolutionary groups of animals on the planet that have been around over 450 million years and were the first vertebrate predators. I do have a couple of fossilized shark’s teeth a friend sent me that she found, and that are now part of my second crystal grid.
And I just realized that recently I was drawn to get a pendant that combined a couple of small raw stones – green tourmaline and aquamarine – with a larger fossilized Megalodon shark’s tooth. Megalodon sharks lived between 3.6 to over 20 millions years ago. This pendant supports transforming fear into love and is a shield and guide on one’s journeys. The elements of the pendant were integrated to “narrate a story of travel, protection, and joy, harmoniously unified in conscious design and intention.”
There’s always a reason we feel drawn to certain things. At the time I felt very connected to the protective power and strength of these ancient sharks and for what I felt to be embarking on. I wanted to intentionally invoke that power in my life, as I felt it would be needed. I can see now that they are working with me to support the next level of my journey I was ready for and calling in.
Anyway, these bookended shark dreams feel very significant in terms of rebooting experiences and I sense, like with the other animal spirit guides featuring prominently these days, and the messengers who are speaking through them, that we have many powerful comrades to help navigate the new realms we are evolving into. Many of them are unexpected, but are showing us new and integral ways that are important to understand and implement.
The sharks speak to our ability to adapt to life’s challenges with precision, courage, strength, primal power, and resiliency. They teach us how to rule the deep watery realms of emotions, shadows, and the subconscious that are outflowing fast and furious these days, so that we may transmute these and recognize and embody our innate power and highest potential. These are the realms calling our attention now and are the most challenging to work through because they don’t make sense to the mind. You can’t simply logic them out. For this reason, the mental realm is far easier to grasp. The feeling and unspoken realms are where integrated mastery lies.
The shark collective encourages us to unwaveringly believe in ourselves and unleash these origin forces we have ability to harness. They seem to be saying that there’s an untapped power locked within that is ready to rise and as we meet change with fearless flexibility, we can learn to navigate the incoming currents of uncertainty with confident grace and become our own unstoppable, creative force of unification.
We have a Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse upcoming on March 13th PST and 14th EST. Despite the challenges and struggles collectively unfolding, dreams and intuitive guidance keep pointing to so much potential and the ability to align ourselves more consciously with the changes.
Grounded innocence is The Fool’s card wisdom and superpower. It’s not blindness, but the ability to see beyond what the mind and ego fears. The willingness to take new risks and shift your way of reacting to others who prefer you to join or take a side, can lead to creating new doorways for us all.
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo! 52!
Can you tell I’m in an extra silly state of mind?
If you look up the meaning of bibbidi-bobbidi-boo you’ll see it defined as a “light-hearted magickal incantation” to transform someone or something, and of course we know they were the magickal words used and sung by the faery godmother in Cinderella that mean basically the same as abra cadabra. For what ever reason – probably because I was feeling to make things light and fun – these words came to mind right away when I felt called to share this message today and it perfectly chimed in with rhyme for this life’s Earth year age I just turned.
Whether you’re a fan or not of Disney’s Cinderella, I bet many of you still know that song like I do and, at the least, feel the words to be a silly sweet way to integrate magick into our lives with lightness and joy and to experience transformation as enchantment.
It’s, again, about perspective and having a willingness to soften our hold on ideas and beliefs that may be limiting our capacity to enjoy the gifts of life we do have and our instant ability to transform them.
Shifts, miracles, and changes can happen just like that – add snap of a finger!
My birthday felt like this for me – light and joyous and yet also fully transformative in a very magickal way. One moment I was on one side of a door, and the very next I was on the other. It was as if someone waved a wand and invoked a little bibbidi-bobbidi-boo.
And they did – me, that is.
This came as a result of my partnering in the dance of alignment. I leaned into and swam with the waves of energy I felt rolling through, rather than crossing my arms and trying to anchor my feet on the bottomless ground and getting thrown around in the waves trying, or struggling to swim the other direction against the current.
I also did it by invoking my conscious cocreating ability with the cause, rather than believing I was the effect of someone else’s doing.
Magick is what magick does.
You are the magick realizing itself in every unfurling moment.
Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo is conscious being – instant and miraculous it can be.
I’ve felt strongly guided not to do anything new until after the fresh cycle kicked in and to just stay focused on endings. Slow and steady without missing any details. And by doing this, I did wake up on my birthday feeling completely different and I started seeing everything in a new light that felt easier, more fluid, and extra freeing – providing me even more possibilities I found myself open to.
And just like that a new cycle ignited, and another year of Earth walking began.
Fifty-two, here’s looking at you!
Having the energy of the 27th’s Pisces New Moon building up (the day after my birthday) amplified all of these feelings personally for me. Yet, I’m sure many of you have also been feeling these energies too, and maybe even a boost in terms of connection with your dreams and feeling they are worth putting conscious efforts toward. And if not feeling these things yet, you may notice an increase in desire around things you want and wondering more about their possibility.
Let your mind wander and imagine. This is the path to manifesting – visualizing and allowing your creative power to fill your cells with resonance for attracting the like to that which you envision and feel.
There’s been a sense of relief in the days leading up to this doorway. The build-up anchored in a knowing of how I would like the next phase of life to feel like. The way it looks doesn’t matter as much. As long as I keep sight on, and embody the essence of, how I want to experience the feeling of life, then I know the perfect reflections of that will unfold.
We’ve had Spring-like weather here all week – in the 50’s – so we’ve been able to go on hikes.
This is the first time since living here that we have such warm temperatures and that we haven’t been immersed in snow at the house on my Winter birthday. And although I love Winter wonderlands, this feels like a reflection of vibrant new birthing with my #1 year cycle activating – shaking things up a bit!
Interestingly, three days before my birthday we went on a hike and found a nest! Yep, another one – that makes fourteen.
Not long after the nest find, we pulled up to the grocery store and Dave went in to get something quick. As soon as he left, I watched a very large hawk swoop down to the creek in front of me, feet first with a splash. I’ve not seen that before. The hawk then flew up to a tree branch and perched there for a couple of minutes before taking off.
I thought both were pretty cool things to experience in symbolism right before my birthday.
I baked myself a cake after this hike, find, and sighting, since I knew we’d be out all day on my actual birthday. I made a simple vegan vanilla cake with vanilla icing (my fav) – but a super healthy version. The cake had no oil or butter – apple sauce instead – and I used monkfruit sweetener instead of sugar. There were basically only eight ingredients – flour, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, apple sauce, water, distilled white vinegar, and monkfruit. And the icing was made with only soaked cashews, soy milk, vanilla, and monkfruit sweetener too. It turned out yummy and with the strawberry slices on top it was actually very much like a strawberry shortcake – my favorite throughout my childhood. I decorated it simply and voila!
For the actual day of my birthday, we planned on a special hike. It was what I wanted to do for my own kind of celebration. Originally some friends of ours had wanted to do something with us to celebrate and so we invited them along. I wondered about how that would unfold, as we’ve only done this hike one other time before on Spring Equinox three years ago. It was a very sacred kind of time.
Well, the day before my birthday our friends had to cancel and instead we made plans to meet up with them for a late lunch celebration afterward.
It was obvious that for this particular day we were meant to go ourselves.
Being that it was such a sunny, warm day it made it possible to get down to the high desert and enjoy what would there be a 60+ degree day.
My birthday choice was a hike where I could do one of my favorite things…rock and crystal hounding …see what All That Is had in store for me.
We had a beautiful day with perfect weather, not a soul around, and incredible gifts to discover – some of which felt to be placed like Easter egg treasures to find.
Even Dave had a great time exploring and finding gifts and we both enjoyed the different scenery and warm desert wind carrying so many whispers.
We felt like we were being watched from the canyon walls.
Petrified wood, agate, jasper, chalcedony, selenite, and a whole variety of mineral and crystal amazingness around every corner, including volcanic beauties along with the incredible terrain and sights to take in.
I don’t know what all of the specimens are that we found, but honestly I don’t much care as I just love their beauty and energy.
It’s such a gift to find things myself and know that no one else has touched them but me.
Just look at some of these!
The really special finds of the day were petrified agatized wood, which I have never found. We also found some petrified wood with chalcedony and some that are white opalized.
Talk about abundant ancient earthen energy.
These are 2 million years old.
The area used to have an ancient lake from the Pleistocene period.
I just love the energies of this area – so raw, wild, and full of ancient and ancestral wisdom.
The petrified wood, in particular, feels perfect for the rebirthing of a new Earth experience because the life force flowing through them carries cellular frequencies of what’s necessary for growth, renewal, and knowledge to learn from, rebuild, and strengthen resiliency.
I feel that the ancient Earth and Cosmic rich energies are key right now and this is why so many different kinds of crystals and stones are being unearthed and discovered at this time from new locations and sacred spots on Earth.
And speaking of Easter eggs and rebirth, just look at what we found!
An abandoned fully in-tact egg.
That really felt symbolic to find on my birthday and to hold in the palm of my hand.
It was a great day!
And the energies have continued to feel fertile.
It felt SO good to have the sun touch my skin and receive a nice rosy glow in Winter.
It was a perfect T kind of day!
Yay!
In the meantime, we continue to hear the calls of coyotes and experience nightly beautiful and varied colored sunsets through the forest out back.
And during the last few weeks I’ve had a couple more odd things go on with systems within my computer, which we both cleaned out and gave reboots to, but definitely reflect the same thing I’ve been doing – out with the old and in with the new. I didn’t need a whole new computer – just needed to refresh the inner workings to clarify the path ahead.
There’s no need to rush into things right now, as we’re still in a period of restoring and recalibrating with slow, but stead momentum. And it’s better not to, since energies are moving fast. Tending to the details that create balance will help nurture a more sustainable progression when things are ready to leap.
You might ask yourself, how do you want to show up in the world and embody the energies streaming in that would also be the butterfly kisses to your own heart?
Be curious as to where your inner voice is calling you to lean into more. These whispers or loud calls, which ever the case may be for you, are indication of alignment readjustments that will do your body, heart, and soul good in the coming days, months, and years.
Like our beautiful Earth, we too are undergoing a massive shift. She’s not the only one revealing her true feelings through the waves of weather or deconstructing changes she expresses.
We all could use a good nurturing purge to rebalance and recreate.
I used to share Lee Harris’ monthly Energy Forecasts, but since I don’t anymore I did want to share a few things he said in his last one that stood out.
He reiterated the message I shared above calling it “the slow lane is the fast lane right now” and that many may still be in a recovery or rest period in order to learn new and enduring ways of showing up in this also very new world. So it’s okay if you’re in recovery mode…keep up the step-by-step and know that this will lead to jumps later.
He also spoke about “dimension jumping” which feels accurate for me too. I’ve continued to have a lot of moving in and out very quickly between dimensional experiences and many times knowing that I’m in a parallel reality and snap back if someone calls to me. I know that’s others experiences as well. There’s nothing wrong with you if you are going through these shake-ups of reality shifts. It’s going to become more seamless as time goes on.
I absolutely loved him stating how “boundaries reflect alignment“. What a perfect way to explain why boundaries are so necessary in knowing clearly your yes’s and no’s. This isn’t selfishness. This is resonance and dancing in alignment with the collective.
And the last key note I wanted to share from his March Energy Update was his expressing that a widespread experience will be happening around your latent gifts lighting up suddenly. He stated these as “either talents or abilities you used to possess, but had been long forgotten, or past life gifts that you didn’t know you had, but are so effortless when they appear in your life”. And he went on to add that these would happen very easily. There will be “no thought involved or teaching necessary…it will be sudden and surprising and maybe even shocking” how these gifts come out-of-the blue in being experienced.
I felt a huge a-ha when I heard him say that, as it was something that’s been coming to me strongly in the last months especially, that I could feel this would be happening and how easily it would appear. It came in snippets of parallel experiences I saw and could feel it with all of me even though I didn’t know how.
Yes, the time is now and in the coming months, more and more of us will experience these sudden openings of our innate gifts lighting up on the board. It will seem miraculous – like a bibbidi-bobbidi-boo wave of the wand, but it of course was always who you were. This will especially take place in the psychic/intuitive realms for many.
There are a lot of things to be excited about and that give rise to more hope.
Don’t be afraid to keep believing and immersing in imaginative curiosity.
What if?
And indeed it will be.
Ending Notes:
I’m going to be away a bunch over the next several months and so commences some of the upcoming shifts in how I spend my energy and time. I haven’t yet a clear idea how things will evolve here on my blog, but I’ll get a better picture of that as I keep moving forward into the new. One step at a time.
I will be immersed in a little family getaway starting today through Thursday while Dave is on a ski trip with some friends.
Dave and I will be leaving for a long trip together, soon too. I’ll update things on that as the time approaches and I get a better handle on how things are going to look on my end with my focuses.
White Dreams & Visions Revisited – Part 3 An Ending of Hope
Although I have documented at least ten significant “white themed” dreams and visions between 2014 and 2017 here on this blog, I am guided to end with just one more today. This will make a trilogy of key dream and vision messages that feel particularly important to share at this time. If you are ever bored and want to explore some of the others, you’ll find them linked above. Only one of them predates this grouping, as it was in 2012 about a narwhal.
It makes sense to me why that three-year span was key. It was the igniting of major change upcoming and what unfolded thereafter, to include our entire span of RV living in the Magick Bus. This included a time period of clear knowing and visions of no longer being here as the me I knew and the invitation to more being granted. Our Magick Bus experience was one of the most important time periods for me – a dream that took about three years of manifesting, but I did it! It was also when I had a life-altering and timeline jump to another parallel reality experience in a river up in Banff that is far too involved and complex to ever write about. It confirmed the messages I kept receiving. I always just simply say, another dimensional part of me emerged and took over the next part of the journey.
Anyway, today’s post comes from an experience that was in the beginning of our Magick Bus journeys – about six months in. I feel that the visions I had at the Blythe Intaglios hold messages for us now.
All of my life, the visions and feelings I’ve had about things have always been “another time” related – future oriented, some would say if one looks at time linearly. I think that because I experience no boundaries in time or realities, and other multi-dimensional aspects of myself in a more seamless kind of way, when I receive insights they often will take time to catch up to. I get the sense this is part of today’s share and the message of hope and renewal speaks to now.
There are so many layers to the visions I received from this experience – this time in full waking life of my tuning in with the energy of the sacred place we explored.
White buffalo and a white horse are part of the potent visions I received. There’s even a short connective thread from a dear friend that the now me sees foreshadowing that we would be returning to Lake Tahoe to live again after the Magick Bus adventures.
I’m going to also link to this blog below that features one of the Magick Stones I created while we were RV living. That was a time period when I received the guidance to paint the special stones I was finding at the incredible areas of exploration. I painted so many beautiful portals. This one connects with today’s reblog, as it’s of a white buffalo on one side, and hawk on the other.
So, yeah…a lot of links in this post to go down rabbit holes of exploration with. I know we have way too many things going on in life, so I don’t expect anyone to explore them all. But I will say that I did lol! It was very meaningful for me to revisit and retrieve the morsels of remembrance. It was fun to find that I even mentioned the 13 crystal skulls at the end of today’s share.
If you’re receiving this by email, the reblog may or may not show up, so you may need to click through.
May the messages awaken cellular memories, but more importantly offer hope when I know many of you feel discouraged.
White Dreams & Visions Revisited – Part 2
Getting back to the dream theme reblogs, today’s share comes from September of 2014, just three days after Part 1’s White Dream and just weeks after my return from Alaska in August of 2014.
As you can see, a lot was triggered by the timing of that trip and it was interesting that the dream journeys took on a “white” theme symbolically after that.
Today’s dream share was particularly potent to me, as it felt to be the end of a mission I had up until that point in life where I was reporting back the depths of experiences and things learned thus far, while reviewing it all from a different and detached space of consciousness.
Perhaps some of the reason this dream feels important to share again is because of the significance of yet another of these milestones not only I feel to be crossing now, but the collective feels to be going through as well. And with the completion of my portal painting this week and birthday celebrations in gear, there’s really powerful energies I can feel observing this new transition.
I love the comment on this post from faery sis Laura in 2014 sharing “It also reminds me of that Star People book, with some of the people reporting back to the Space Brothers.”
Indeed.
If you were sitting in front of a Cosmic Council of beings from far-off planets, what would you want to tell them?
And if you knew you were at the end of a mission or purpose with the freedom to begin anew, what would you choose and why?
Bunnies, Birthdays & Beginnings Have Begun ~ Portal Painting Magick as a Marker of Spiraling Change
This is an interlude before the next reblog of White Dreams & Visions Revisited so that I can share some updates including a very important full circle closure AND opening for me that has to do with a portal.
But before that, I just want to extend extra love, healing, and grace of flow to everyone and especially those of you who may find yourself going through some very rough patches. I have heard in the last couple of weeks from several people I know that are themselves going through major health challenges to include various forms of stage four cancer and aggressive lymphoma, or their loved ones are going through the same.
Many people are moving through big changes in various areas of their lives, not just health, and even if ultimately they are for the highest good, things may feel uncomfortable or unclear right now. So let’s take some deep breaths together and remember all the things we have already made it through. One step at a time.
There also continues to be a wide gap between contrasting experiences that can be triggering or add strain on things so, again, it’s helpful to try to find that connective bridge of kindness toward self and others, understanding how everyone is going through their own stuff. The breath and pause with curiosity around the moment unfolding can help to curtail creating a domino effect of explosions. Anything you can do to nourish and support yourself, anchor into the conscious present, listen to and act upon inner messaging, or maybe even reach out to others would be of great benefit as things are changing rapidly and will inevitably continue to unearth reveals and invite more of us on board in the coming days and months.
Although I know it’s a given that collective connection is our innate experience, I have intention that any breakthroughs, uplifting, inspiring, successful, and peaceful energies I experience are shared in the collective pool with others. The way we each move through life creates doorways for the collective.
I’ll share some of the changes and updates that have taken place this month in case they speak to energy shifts and similar kinds of things that you’ve been going through as well. This month has felt like the year’s energy is really starting to clarify and anchor new momentum.
As you know, I’ve been transitioning my own life focuses to put closure to a cycle and prepare for a new one. I felt this energy guidance even before I remembered the actuality of it taking place with my birthday kicking in the essence of #1 numerologically this year. So of course it was a huge a-ha click to why everything was happening. And this #1 energy inevitably gives me a lot of oomph behind the drive I feel compelled to act upon.
I’m so happy to report that I have been able to accomplish this goal of completions and have already removed several pages from this website for offerings that are no longer. I will continue to remove pages in the days ahead leading to my birthday, and eventually will begin updating pages with fresh energy and clear slates.
During the past few weeks I also discovered a weird thing with my gmail acount that is too complicated to explain, but basically showed me another door I would be closing and opening with kind of an “identity” themed focus. Somehow we (Dave and I) had set up two gmail accounts for me when first I created one and unknowingly everything had been operating through one that I don’t use including my YouTube channel, all saved contacts, photos, etc. Of course, I just happened to discover this right now and we took measures to move everything over to the right account, which was quite the project – especially YouTube – and then deleted the nonused account. Needless to say, it’s all fixed and that felt like a reflection of new identity and fresh starts too – kind of like the old account was this in between place holder of a me that would only be temporary.
During the last month or so of completions I also found myself not using my office and Wonderland room I shared with Astrid and the crystal family. I’ve had a temporary setup with my important things on the kitchen island and have been working from the couch in the main living area. I wondered why that was, but then this clicked in as well that it must have been my sensing the energy of transition and not wanting to anchor in that in between within my special space. That space is a container for new energies building, and interestingly during this transition I have been welcoming in and moving around a few last crystals and crystal skulls.
The only thing I have been doing in my Wonderland room is painting, which I just started on 2/11 and completed on the evening of 2/17.
This is one of the important completion projects that has haunted me for a while – to finalize my giant 5 foot x 5 foot portal painting titled Once in a Blue Moon. It makes sense why I haven’t completed it until now, and with everything off my slate I was able to paint the final keys to this doorway of new experience.
I first channeled the painting in 2012 with Nestor (who had already transitioned) and Joy (who was still with me at the time) anchoring it. This is a professional photo of the painting that captures colors differently.
I had no idea then that Cosmo and Astrid would be coming, but I must have intuitively had an idea because the painting was very simple and empty, as if also being a place holder for more.
Over the years of having Cosmo and Astrid, I knew that I wanted to eventually add them to the painting, but also Gaia who is connected to all of them – especially Joy and Nestor – and in fact was Joy’s companion until Cosmo came – as well as Twinkie who was my first bunny when I was twelve years old and whom I feel came back to me as Cosmo. Five rabbits in all and their comrade the Russian tortoise.
It was a project that I kept saying I wanted to do and could have done with the passing of each of them, but it wasn’t until now that I finally felt the energy was ready and of course I created the time for it with clearing out things.
It seems like the perfect marker from old to new with a magickal celebration of everyone together to support what’s to come. And, in fact, also a celebration for my birthday new cycle. I knew it would be done before that and in fact I did it with nine days to spare.
Here it is taken just outside my office door in the sunlight – I had to move away the snow.
I wish I could photograph it as well as the professional one of the original.
It’s SO hard to capture the colors properly – some lighting washes things out and makes everything more blue – other lighting makes things have a yellow undertone. The painting in person has a lot of variation in colors especially where all the detail is, and in person the bunnies are all the proper colors they should be.
But I think the photos will give you an energetic idea of the magick – including their favorite amethyst crystals and special symbolism, bridging details, earth and cosmic landscapes (check out Gaia’s Himalayan terrain), and star codes.
These next photos of Cosmo show you how the lighting shifts the colors – you can see in his fur and the flowers.
I’m excited to see what ignites by its completion and hanging in my Wonderland room where Astrid transitioned.
I already saw one acknowledgment – this sunset took place the evening of the 17th when I completed the painting. This was the second confirmation.
Then on Valentine’s evening 2/14 I finished painting Astrid and took this photo, which showed energy all around her.
I basically painted one of my companions each day since I started on 2/11 and Astrid was to be the last. The background took me two days. Well, the very next morning of the 15th, the first confirmation came after I woke earlier than usual to see the Moon through the forest.
Frith showed up.
I haven’t seen Frith in ages, but there he was.
He ran across our upper deck and then down the stairs to the spiral garden.
This is where I first discovered Frith, before I had the spiral quartz garden, when he was just a baby and would flop himself near the bushes there and act like a domesticated rabbit. That’s when Astrid took him under her wing and they became great friends.
Well, that morning he sat looking at us watching him through the upper picture windows of our living room and I remarked at how much he looked like Astrid in my painting – the same stance.
He’s grown so much!
And he’s still his frisky, sweet self, as he dashed about the spiral garden now covered in snow from our last and biggest storm yet. Then off he disappeared under our deck.
I felt he was Astrid’s acknowledgment and joy of the portal being activated with her coming alive on the painting. They were both happy!
In fact, last night’s dream was graced by Astrid who was full of joy and bursting exuberance. In my dream she got out through the door and was zooming and springing about outside, dashing here and there in the snow. She mirrored Frith. She would leap and twist and turn and move like a flash with great energy bubbling from within. That warmed my heart.
I know this to be an actual portal, as when I first painted it and hung it in my office in Costa Mesa, Southern California, I experienced the magick. I woke in the middle of the night one day and because I could see the painting in my office through both room doorways from my side of the bed, I saw why it woke me up. I saw the painting open and all of these magickal beings came jumping out of it and running across the floor – gnomes, elves, fairies, and other devic creatures.
I wonder what else will happen now that I’ve completed and hung the painting back on the wall of Wonderland over a couch that houses stuffies of all of my sweet rabbit companions with Astrid’s crystal grid in front of it?
Well, I’ll tell you what happened next.
After photographing the painting yesterday morning before going out skiing, I hung it back up in its place on the wall.
Later, after we got home and had lunch, I went downstairs thinking I might get better lighting now to photograph the painting because the morning light made everything blue.
As soon as I walked in my office I was amazed to see the painting down on the floor behind the couch. When I went over to it I realized that the wire broke in half, sending the painting straight down to the floor. Luckily the couch is in front of it, as it would have toppled over onto my table of crystals.
That said, I knew the portal was activated. Just like when I had gridded the crystals on Astrid’s table and she flung my lighted ornament tree onto the ground behind me to tell me it was done and ready to go.
I told Dave that the painting fell and that made three things already happening since painting it.
He said to me, “It’s been hanging on the wall all of these years since we moved in. Nothing’s changed. It’s not like it got heavier.”
I laughed and said, “The whole painting image changed! That’s exactly it. Nothing changed to the canvas itself except the portal is now activated with everyone on it.”
His eyes bugged out and we both laughed. I showed him the wire on the back of the painting and we both said it looked like Astrid chewed right through it. LOL!
“Take that!” Dave said as stand-in for her.
The very strong metal hook on the wall was completely bent from an upright position to a horizontal one. That took me longer to bend back into place than stringing a much stronger, thicker wire across the back, doubling it around the broken one. But it’s all super secure now – unless something else decides to take place.
So, indeed the portal has ignited.
A lot of acknowledgments continue to roll in, including the clock numbers. We all see the repetitive numbers a lot these days, but sometimes the experience is heightened. That’s been the case the last couple of weeks where I’m seeing the numbers like crazy every single day and multiple times a day. This includes seeing my birthday 2:26 on the clock all the time – both during the day and waking up to seeing it during the night.
And speaking of night and sleep, I had another incredible bear dream the night of the Leo Full Moon of the the 12th. This time it had both cubs and momma bear in it.
There were two larger sized cubs that were following me and wanting in the house that I was in, in the dream. Every time I opened the door, they snuck in and wanted to play. I couldn’t keep them out. They always discovered the door I opened and would get in. The cubs were relentless about wanting to be with me.
I thought momma bear must be close and kept looking for her, as I didn’t want to upset her that the cubs were with me. Then I saw mom appear from the woods, but to my surprise she was human – although I knew she was bear in essence. A shapeshifter perhaps.
She carried in her arms a smaller, third cub and I noticed that when she stepped forward in view by the trees that she had a very pregnant belly underneath a long gown. She reminded me of the Empress card in Tarot, which is interesting since I’m a three in numerology by birth number and that is associated with this card. Momma bear had three cubs and one on the way.
She brought the little cub into the house and laid him snug inside an open dresser drawer lined with soft material to sleep.
That’s all I remember, but it was so clear and stayed with me.
I told Dave about my dream and even he said, “Wow you are constantly dreaming of bears.”
Yes indeed!
I’ve also been in a pattern again of dreaming about so many people I know, even if I’m not in contact with them regularly, like a collective streaming of communication and connection happening seamlessly.
And speaking of connection, we got to enjoy a beautiful celebration weekend with my family for my brother’s 55th birthday at the beginning of this month. We also celebrated an early one for me since we wouldn’t be down again until early March.
We ended up spending two nights with them because a snow storm was starting and we didn’t want to get caught on the roads in the event it got as bad as they were predicting.
It didn’t end up being that big, but we were happy we followed our intuition and it gave us more family time to enjoy.
Going down early provided a window to hit one of our favorite fun spots in Reno for lunch, try a new place with vegan baked goods, enjoy a short walk by the river, and do an errand.
I finally got a photo with my favorite momma and baby whale sculpture downtown too!
Snow by us, meant rain down in the valley and that produced this beautiful rainbow when we arrived at my parent’s house.
This was the view from the front door.
Game nights, talks, and yummies are all a part of family fun time. In fact, two of the gifts we brought my brother were new games, which we all played together.
On the morning of my brother’s birthday we woke to this gorgeous, shifting sunrise view through the blinds and windows that looked like a celebration from the heavens!
This was the amazing vegan cake my dad made for my brother that we enjoyed in the beautifully decked out dining room after mom’s delicious meal.
Dave and I even hit the gym at the clubhouse by my parent’s house on both days and I had my usual deep and shifting talks with my brother. This one was a timely, major breakthrough talk perfectly aligned with the changes and my birthday.
On our way home on the 8th, we saw three coyotes following each other in a perfect line, in a field near our house.
And that first night back home, after the powerfully shifting talks with my brother I had another powerful dream.
In the dream I was receiving a blood transfusion in a place that felt different than here. There were actually a couple of other people also receiving a transfusion, but what I realized is that mine was different. They were each receiving human blood and I was receiving rabbit blood. And the interesting way that this was being given to me was by tubes in my mouth that made it so that I needed to swallow the blood.
Interesting given this took place before I started my painting and after talks that involved discussions including my rabbit companions and missions.
Anyway, while that storm of the 6th didn’t end up as big as they thought, the second one did and we were grateful for that.
On the 12th and 13th, just before Valentine’s Day, we got our biggest storm of the season that brought 16 fresh new inches of snow at our house and 28 inches to the ski mountain above us.
We’re very happy about that, as we haven’t had a very big Winter this year so far.
This brought enough for us to have some good snow shoeing this past weekend too, which was perfect to do with our friends who invited us over to do an early birthday celebration for me.
This included the outdoor fun, relaxing, a meal and birthday cake they made for me, game time, and a two-round sound healing session by the guys before we hit the sack for a fun overnighter.
After walks and snowless beach days, we’re back to Winter enchantment, more skiing, and snow is hanging around finally at the house.
February seems to be the new month for Winter Wonderlands to kick in, which adds to birthday fun and magick.
Birthday celebrations have definitely begun and I love that the bunnies are in full and high gear along with me!
I’m looking forward to what’s up ahead, but am feeling super grateful for all that’s here now.
White Dreams & Visions Revisited – Part 1
Happy Leo Full Snow Moon! Although this post isn’t about lions, it IS about another big cat apex predator – the jaguar. A white jaguar, in fact, and with a Snow Moon that brings to my mind a snow leopard living in the Himalayas, which is white too and for me connects to higher consciousness. So, today’s share may not literally be a connection to all of this or the specific Moon, but isn’t too far out of energetic reach either. At least in “T” land and the way I connect dots.
Regardless, the dream wants up.
As I shared in my last reblog about Alaska, I felt I would probably be reblogging some of the important dreams that took place after returning from that trip, as they feel key to something now. While I’m in the process of decoding and integrating it, I thought some of you might also experience something through them as well.
They all happen to have a “white” theme and I’ve come to realize that so many of my dreams and visions have had this color in association with an animal around this time period and a couple of years after. I experienced this first one, I’m sharing today, about three or so weeks after we got back in 2014.
In this dream – although for me it was a reality on a different dimensional plane – I went through a very big shift point in consciousness that involved a total transmutational upgrade, supported cosmically.
There’s twofold reason I feel that I’m being guided to reshare this – one, because for me it feels reflective of something I’m going through currently that resembles this experience in a now way and two, I feel it speaks to a collective experience of how we’re integrating new light codes and frequencies that are creating major physical and consciousness shifts.
So, if you’re feeling out of sorts, in between things, about to make some big changes, going through some unusual or hard-to-pinpoint stuff, I believe that it’s all part of a natural evolution taking place on a grander scale and I do feel a lot of support for us all during the process. You are not alone and a lot is taking place to help the changes, even if you’re not fully aware of it.
I read the comments on the original post and a couple of things stood out that I wrote there.
I share how the dream was cosmic in nature even if I hadn’t fully explained that in the dream share.
I also describe having the feeling that my original mission was complete and it was time to move on – and this feels the case again now – individually and collectively.
And, I share how the spiritual rebirth message I received from the dream that also unraveled Mayan connections was reiterated the morning after when I was drawn to put on a ring that I hadn’t worn in years. I realized it was the one I had engraved back in like 2003/4 with a saying: ka a yaan tah. I had forgotten the exact meaning and looked it up that day only to discover that it was Mayan for “to be reborn.”
We are in a time of collective renewal. May we all experience ka a yaan tah in grace, harmony, and togetherness.
Again, I’m not sure if the reblog will show up in your email if you receive this update there, so you may want to click through if interested in reading it.
Alaska On My Mind ~ Where Golden Bears & So Much More Began
I’ve had Alaska on my mind extra the last few weeks because of our trip there being so significant to my life’s path and because I’m experiencing similar feelings of transitional impact. Since I’m at the next integral part of my journey, I’m inspired to share this post about my time in Alaska back in August 2014, again. My current experiences feel reflective of the same invitation that the incredible land there ignited for me with origins of energy activated and the opening of a portal of cleansing for a new Earth overall.
For many of you this will be a first time for reading it. For others who have been with me a while, it will be a resurgence of all the feelings it brought through when you read it years ago. In either case, the photos alone might be an activation of sorts for you. It is a long post so you may only feel called to view the images or skip ahead to the bears, for example.
I may be reblogging a couple of important dreams that followed directly after this journey in September of 2014. As I mentioned, this was a very pivotal trip and time period that could have played out in another way. Instead, it was a new me that dropped into this body on a new timeline.
Talking about Alaska comes up a lot in conversations when people ask us questions about how we came to live where we do now – transitioning our lives from city suburbs to mountain, how I/we came to shifting life focuses, and even how and why we jumped aboard the Magick Bus (our RV home) for a pivotal time in our life with our four fur babies (Joy, Cosmo, Sweet Pea and Boojum). Alaska was the igniting of all of this for me/us and so I feel to celebrate her richness today.
In light of the recent Alaska plane crash, this post also honors the lives lost and is an extension to all who have recently departed in so many of the incidents being experienced as of late across our Earth home.
If you’ve been following along, you’ve also seen and heard about how bears factor into my life so significantly and are walking with me daily now. They are not just the powerful guardians that walk this Earth, but are extensions of star family communicating through these magickal beings. I’ve come to see that my animal experiences and encounters are cosmic in nature, and for now this is the way that these beings are choosing to come through until another experience is ready for humanity.
Our trip to Alaska was my first and most epic encounter with bears. We went on a once in a lifetime adventure to immerse in the wild realm of brown bears – aka grizzly bears – in the most profound way of walking amongst hundreds of them in their domain. I chronicle this and our Alaska adventure, my feelings, and how it changed me, in the blog I am guided to reshare today. Some truly gorgeous photos of these beautiful beings are part of that share, including both golden cubs and adults. This trip heralded our experiencing many more bears shortly after  – including grizzlies – while we ventured the National Park and great outdoors circuit during rv adventures. Walking with the grizzlies, however, will always be etched into my heart as an activator of something beyond words that happened to me and makes more sense now with the whole picture.
Recently, loons have been speaking to me from beyond the veils as well and although we don’t have any here, I am hearing their haunting and mystical calls like a long, lost friend echoing from the depths of my heart. It makes sense that they reflect a renewal of hopes and wishes, as well as the significance of diving deep into the unconscious and emotional realms, as both of these have been on the forefront of my journey recently. They are the wild, solitary voices that penetrate the deep mystery to call one another together, and to me feel to activate the next layer of essence, as their sound codes unlock origins of remembrance. I experienced loon calls for the first time in Alaska and they have stayed with me ever since. I find myself recently listening to YouTube videos of loon calls when the energy taps my shoulder, as they awaken a stirring within. And as synchronicity would have it, a pair of beaded loon earrings made their way to me recently to add to the bear ones I have.
Alaska was my first time encountering beluga whales as well. In fact they ended our trip powerfully. Many firsts were experienced on that trip with introducing me to key animals that would later become more prominent for me along my journeys and evolution – many of which continued during RV life.
Anyway, a long intro to a long repost, but if you have some moments I think you may enjoy the visual immersion, at the least. For me, revisiting this post and the encounters powerfully brought the full tapestry into focus.
I’m not sure if the post will show up or not, if you receive these updates via email. So be sure to click through so you can explore the raw beauty of Alaska.
Celebrating Starts with a Heart Full of Gratitude
I learned that yesterday was my 14 year WordPress anniversary marking almost a decade and a half of blogging and sharing via this website.
Some of you have been with me since the very start, others I’ve connected with along the way, but one thing is for sure – this blog has become a beautiful tapestry where all of our wonderful threads have intersected richly.
And for that, I’m hugely grateful for, as many of the relationships I consider my soul family and dearest friends have nearly all been woven here.
Thank you, from hear to heart! The community made possible here on WordPress has been rich and invaluable.
I love that this anniversary falls on 1/31 – my mom’s birthday! Yay!
I didn’t realize I started this blog then, so that was a cool little synchronicity to learn.
But anyway, yesterday also marked her amazing 82nd year upon this Earth. My mom and I have always been super close and have a deeply, inseparable and telepathic connection beyond just mother and child. You can feel the love I think in this photo of us at Niagara Falls.
My mom embodied the sacred womb that nurtured my own life to start – yay!
And that brings us to today – February 1st – which marks Imbolc (the halfway mark between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox that celebrates the sign of light and stirring new life stepping forth from the darkness that is beginning to fade), but it is also my dear Nestor’s day of birth this go around, 22 years ago.
I celebrate Nestor (my twin soul who came in rabbit body this time), as her presence in my life was the igniting of so much for me, including bringing the rest of the soul family gang – Joy, Gaia, Cosmo, and Astrid into my life.
In fact, she and Astrid are so much alike I often would mix up their names. All of them worked/and continue to work together with me.
And then yesterday started a big storm that’s supposed to last a week here and is looking to kick off a series of storms for February. This first one they’re calling an atmospheric river, turning into snow. However, while we get rain and wet snow the first few days at our elevation, it’s snowing at the tops of the mountains. Big yay for our snowpacks, as precipitation is a blessing for our Summers. This storm is supposed to last a week and it’s looking like more on the way after that. We’ll see!
Synchronously, the same thing happened last year on the same day, which kicked off the biggest part of our Winter then. My birthday month seems to be the deepest part of Winter the last couple of years (not including the historical year of snow for my 50th). In fact, everything is mirroring last year so far in terms of warmer Winter temperatures and later snowfall.
Anyway, lots of things to celebrate right now and celebrating does feel to be a positive way to impact life.
It reminds me of this post and Tedx talk I shared back in February of 2018 from Dewitt Jones:
Celebrate What’s Right With The World
I think that’s a great place to leave today’s short post, with a revisit of this perspective that I think could help in these contrasting and perhaps, for many, challenging-to-navigate times.
There are a lot of beautiful things igniting and creative potency for us to harness. So much healing and transformation is available even if it doesn’t look or seem like it. When you shift perspective, you can jump aboard a new timeline train.
A Message of Mindful Wombing to Optimize Physical Upgrades
From my Winter cocoon to yours, I felt guided to share a little message of self awareness as we continue to journey through some powerful days of strong energetic shifts.
While the start of the year may feel like a call to get moving on things, Nature reminds us to take our time and trust that all things important will actually get done without our needing to force it.
Slowing down and touching in with yourself is ever more important with the massive energies streaming through.
On top of that, we just experienced a planetary alignment on Saturday the 25th – or “planetary parade” as it is called – where six planets (Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) were close together in an arc. A planetary alignment isn’t rare, but having six visible planets aligning, is. And on February 28th we’ll have seven planets aligning when Mercury joins the six.
So, indeed there is Cosmic movement affecting Earth changes, and our being of both natures, ensures going through our own transformational experiences.
In fact, many will experience these changes in a variety of ways, relative to each, and may include health resets while your physical body is integrating the upgrades necessary for moving into these new times.
This is why it is of great importance to heed your body’s intelligence and take care of what it is asking for. As humans, our bodies will go through adjustments in order to be able to integrate the higher levels of light and energy streaming in.
I’ve heard from many who have recently been going through some major health messaging in order to support what will be in the highest good to move forward. From multiple head hits to temporarily debilitating illness, severe viruses, surprise physical health findings, and challenging fatigue…there’s a theme of physical body nurturing being a focal point.
What may appear like a health crisis is the body’s way of bestowing a blessing in the form of a wise message from the higher self to help course correct us and/or heed the importance of supporting the integration of new energy like we’ve never experienced before.
At the same time I’m hearing from others who are deepening into this Winter womb within and honoring and moving through transitional shifts and new life with extra rich, cocreative presence and weaving.
Some of the messaging includes slowing down, resting, heeding personal needs, listening and observing with curiosity, approaching things in new ways, and surrendering outmoded patterns that work against your vibrancy.
I’ve also heard from several people about completely losing their voices, which indicates to me a new, essence-based voice is preparing to come through for greater roles of leadership, creative expression, connection, and elevated resonance in alignment with the Cosmic frequencies now ready to emerge.
So, if you find yourself receiving a physical tap on the shoulder to slow down, embrace the changes, and breathe into the possibility, it may be of great benefit to pay attention to the messaging so that you can consciously partner in the dance of your potential that is rebirthing.
In many ways we are each wombing our own new selves – being mother and father to the incredible consciousness awaiting to emerge.
Perhaps that’s why I keep finding nests and my nest mobile grows.
I now have thirteen bird nests that join the wasp nests and partial beehives that I’ve found on the forest floor.
The idea of weaving my own womb of creation into being excites me and feels like such a gift to be able to do so consciously.
Personally I’ve felt a lot of relief alongside a revving up, as I’ve been transitioning things. It’s interesting to experience how even a way of life I loved can feel so good to release because a new way feels much more inviting. Things are happening with greater ease and fuller embodied empowerment.
In the meantime, Winter rolls on and we were excited to receive a snowstorm on Saturday – same day as the planetary alignment – that brought us a fresh six plus inches here, but much more at the top of our go-to ski mountain.
It was so otherworldly beautiful on the slopes after the snowfall.
One of my favorite landscapes to be surrounded by – especially the crystalline flocked tree beings.
More snow looks to be coming as we transition into February, so our heavier snow may come later as I was feeling. Crossing fingers, toes, and wings that that will be the case and continue.
In the meantime, slowing down and shifting gears is something the season invites.
Savoring moments and stretching experience into timelessness has been key to me.
Some of the things I’ve been doing is lingering in bed in the morning, making big hearty breakfasts, baking more, watching the birds while slowly sipping a latte in the morning, ending my days early to just snuggle in a blanket on the couch and watch an evening movie or series, enjoying the infrared sauna and indoor exercise routines, catching up on finishing artsy creations that have been on my list of wants, deepening with my crystals and crystal skulls, tending to my inner garden (literally and metaphorically), reviewing some favorite book passages and enjoying some magickal new fun ones, brainstorming ideas for my new projects, writing out and finessing my plans and daily routines to implement as the new norm, and planning trips. We’ve also started spending more overnights with the family since the babies departed, and have several more upcoming, which involve fun and board games from our childhood.
At the same time, I also recognize the blessings of what I’m able to do and the gift of feeling relaxed, while others go through contrasting experiences. From this space I am able to send support, however, and recognize how we all balance each other out as one collective community in times of need.
Gratitude is a mainstay in my life.
I wanted to leave you with this photo of a pink whale cloud swimming across the sunset a couple of nights ago and this message I channeled for The Speakers last year, which was part of one of my Talks With Crystal Skulls videos I shared back in April of 2024 – Episode 7 Crystal Skulls as Vessels for Direct Communication.
It was brought to my attention by someone just recently who shared, “The message from The Speakers in Episode 7 moved me deeply, thank you. It was the exact thing I needed to hear with everything going on.”
I decided to transcribe it here, in case it speaks to you too:
“Like the stars twinkle across the night sky, this – our welcoming of illuminated pulse to be with you once again. We feel your frustration and concern about the many ways in which your world is unwrapping the thickness that’s been shoveled upon you. You find it hard to breathe at times, from below the rubble of fallen trials that crumble by their own undoing. We cannot do the undigging for you, but assure you there are those of you close to surfacing. And when you do, the breath you take will feel like the first, as it will be in fact from the air of another era you have awakened. Of course we don’t know time, as you think it to be, so these words are only from the you who operates in this space to understand. Take the many hands that reach deep into the soil of the past, for the you of the future is one of these many hands who has walked the path before. While the two of you meet, you realize you had nothing to fear for this is not a trek of unknown spaces. It is one of familiar faces and the many celebrating rights of passage your true breath awakens. Once merged, your strength will surpass that of anyone who would rather hold you back. Listen to the calling under night’s watch of falling into the weightlessness of astral travels. What you call sleep, we would say is buoyancy of spirit and therefore these in between hours are necessary to receive that which cannot enter your day to day…at least not yet. Tend to your physical, even though it will not be the same, for you need its temple to incubate the ark of truth within unfurling. Do not be fooled or thrown off course by anything you see in coming days that tries to leach to pieces crumbling within. Stay the course. Stand together. Follow the true pulse that never asks of you anything, but to be. No matter who, the true voice is one that does not reign you in, nor cause you fear, nor takes away your pulse to tone by choice of heart’s will. Let these words, and what’s between, sink into the marrow of your existence here. Look to the starlit sky when in doubt and the twinkle will be a wink to your quandary.”
And if you’re interested in any new crystal companions to support these times we’re in, there’s eight lapis lazuli cosmic eggs remaining – I updated the listing with new videos and photos to make it easier and to show off their beauty and natural portals. I’ve continued to add some new, amazing Tahoe Quartz and Sierra Smoky/Citrines periodically. I share the Tahoe Quartz both on this website and in my Instagram stories as they guide me to, so many have been spoken for recently even before announcing here, including some of the first giant guardian releases and several other personal releases I didn’t know would be moving on. I can’t remember now which pieces in the listings are new additions, but there’s still several special ones available (some I’m especially surprised haven’t been homed yet) and I’m feeling like I may share a post upcoming about the energy of these crystals some more.
Lapis Lazuli Cosmic Eggs & Tahoe Quartz/Sierra Smoky
Wishing you an innovative and empowered Aquarius New Moon and Chinese Lunar New Year of the Wood Snake tomorrow!
The Year Ahead ~ Wood Snake #9 Energy & Mini, but Special Crystal Update
This year feels extra fertile, exciting, and feral. There’s a sense of unknown adventure and uncharted maps to navigate by True Heart’s North. Having just entered Aquarius season yesterday, I’m feeling the extra liberating vibes that come through grounding into the essence of who we each are so that authenticity illuminates.
We’re also nearing the Chinese Lunar New Year, which will be on January 29th. This ignites the year of the Wood Snake.
Themes for the Wood Snake include strategic evolution, resiliency, adaptability, wisdom, intuition, creativity, fertility, longevity, and shedding your way to renewal on deeper levels. This is a complete transformation that will come to us all individually and collectively by way of moment-to-moment opportunities for shedding away all the build-up we’ve been shouldering out of acceptance with discomfort. The shedding could look messy for a while, as the old skin of years gone by peel away layer by layer. How far we each want to shed is up to us. Some may shed one or two layers and others may undo them all. Sometimes we’re invited into more shedding than we thought we may want, but highest good is always at work even if we don’t realize it.
Transformational beginnings can be a welcome part of every single day this year with the mysterious and ingenious Wood Snake by our side.
2025 is a number 9 year for the collective, numerologically speaking, and so there is the energy of completion, methodical growth, and compassionate connections that lead to enlightened paths. It’s a year for introspection before action and being in resonance with universal wisdom for greater good. A number nine year carries the potential for long-term achievement.
The Wood Snake urges us to be more present with conscious awareness so that we align with divine timing to embrace the perfect moments that offer greatest results and minimize energetic output.
Snakes are silent creatures of great alchemy, but this comes with a need for balance and deeper listening so that opportunities aren’t missed, while hidden challenges are avoided.
For me, I’ll be moving forward steadily with my intentions and plan to keep focused, consistent, and committed to the new unearthed energy from my personal closure I invoked pre to this new year.
Our amaryllis plant ended up budding four more giant blooms on the second pod, bringing us to nine total beauties for the season – pretty cool mirroring of our number nine year we’ve entered. The first pod of five has already passed, but the second pod is still going strong. Once they are done I will try my hand at keeping the plant going, too, and seeing if I can get it to regenerate for next season. It’s a first time I’ll be trying, so we’ll see how it goes.
The birds continue to stick around and the doves continue finding sanctuary around our home.
Here you can see them tucked in under the sage bush and cedar tree just outside our bedroom. There were eight total – five showing in the photos.
Winter has been more like very early Spring so far.
After the initial storms blew in, we’ve had sunny days with very brisk temperatures and melt-off at lower levels, with no precipitation all of January so far, although this Saturday a storm is predicted.
This has made hiking still possible if not venturing too high up where the thicker snow accumulations are.
Perhaps we’ll have a later Winter, like last year.
And the snow will stick around into early Summer.
Everything changes on a dime so things move quickly and unpredictably.
For now we’re embracing what is and enjoying the gifts to be grateful for.
On Thursday’s hike by the lake I found this beautiful and quite large nest I’ll be adding to my growing nest mobile.
That followed this Northern Flicker’s wing coming to me as a beautiful gift as well.
The all orange side is the under wing and the black, orange and spotted side is the outer wing.
I get renewal, transformation, fire and phoenix energy, which all feels aligned with the Snake year. And that liberation energy is again resounding that I began this post with.
We keep finding naturally wood carved seahorses when out on hikes – I think we’ve seen about five so far. They mirror the wood carved giant seahorse we have in our home on the fireplace mantle, which you can see highlighted by the rainbow sun rays to the right in this photo from Christmas time.
These patient and safe navigators of the deep sea of emotions and subconscious-made-conscious, are magickal way showers.
Sign posts continue to guide the journey like a treasure map of course alignment.
And then on Saturday afternoon, it was bobcat that showed up again as we made our way home from a hike. This is now the third encounter we’ve had with bobcat – the first, young one showing up on our deck outside our bedroom, the second (whom I believe was a blynx – bobcat/lynx hybrid) in Yosemite as the shapeshifting dimensional walker, and now a third.
This one was quick, so no photos possible, but deliberate in timing and out in the light of day, once again.
A large bobcat jumped out from the brush and forest on our right, as we were driving down the road. The bobcat proceeded to run across the street in front of us and then jumped into the brush on the left, disappearing altogether.
I know we were meant to see this being and I find that each time the bobcats show up has been at pivotal energy shifts that are important.
We are in a year of significant transformation.
I feel that what ever we decide to individually and collectively focus our energy on can create impactful ripples for the years to come.
Be discerning with your energy and commitments.
And continue to nurture your needs to keep things in balance.
I’ve been riding my own journey with cautious reflection about each choice I’m presented with.
While we can also choose again, I want to choose with fullest awareness as opposed to choosing blindly as a predictable knee-jerk reaction.
This is a new energetic landscape for us to cocreate in.
May we create with greater consciousness and alignment.
Quick Crystal Update:
There was only one remaining crystal, but I just added four more listings recently. I listed a couple without an announcement, but one of those pieces was discovered and homed already. I then added two more listings, so there are currently four options to find your energetic match for anyone who may be looking for a crystal partner. This includes two truly special, one-of-a-kind singing skulls, lapis lazuli cosmic eggs since many of you love this stone as much as I do, and the enchanted spirit/faery quartz. There is a blue theme going on because that is one of the key energies that channels through to me to share. I encourage exploration of descriptions along with photos and videos, unless you just already know. I also added several newbie Tahoe Quartz & Sierra Smoky/Citrine listings and updated some with new videos as well. And again, for these personal finds I’m donating proceeds to rescue rabbits. So grateful for all that I’ve been able to send in already – thank you! Other than Tahoe Quartz, I do not foresee listing anymore crystals or crystal skulls in the near future, as no one else has shared a desire to move forward or even hinted at that.
