Tania Marie: Deep like the Ocean & Light as a Feather ~ A Transformative Journey In Egypt
While the golden womb of Autumn cradles my body and soul upon laying my feet back in the alpine realms once again, I feel held in the perfect embrace of patient unfolding.
Not more than five days of being back and seasons are already shifting with our first snow falling on the 14th of last week.
This is the earliest we can remember receiving so much snow, bringing six inches overnight to our 6600 elevation and waking the next morning to a stark contrast from the desert sands of Egypt we just returned from.
Nature helps you to know your own resiliency and surrender in full presence to the fleeting moment, which is all we ever really have.
It’s been an incredible several weeks and these golden masterpieces of enchanted nature artistry, mirror the alchemy in my meditations since returning, as golden light energy has been a continued theme pouring through me.
Even my garden has turned up the volume on Autumn magick with abundant roses, lavender, echinacea, and carnations greeting me home.



That is, until the snow hit, but weather is swinging back to Autumn once again, while the white mountaintops hold the anchor for the future we walk toward.

Alongside settling in and taking my time to unwrap all that has happened, we’ve returned to hiking our familiar routes to breathe in the crisp air of fresh starts.
I went to the mountaintop with questions and what I found was everything I brought within me already. Answers are in our own hands.
I’ve been receiving an increase of more light and frequency codes since returning and tuning in with threads woven anew in my heart. These I can feel pulse through and the experience is an expansion and DNA shifts rearranging within.
Twice, I was given vision of key codes that slowly materialized in front of me as very intricate golden symbols, one piece at a time coming together to form them. They are almost like cosmic sigils holding light and sound that instantly recalibrate.
But I get ahead of myself, as a short rewind is in order to unpack some of the sacred journey a group of us gathered for in Egypt at the turn of seasons bookended by a New Moon Solar Eclipse and a Full Moon.
And before doing that, I wanted to send a huge thank you to all of you who were anchoring energies back in your own sacred spaces. We could feel you all weaving and holding this powerful gridded tapestry united with us and in fact heard from some people about exact alignments and visions that were unfolding at the same time as our group was going through things.
As you likely have guessed, this will be a long share even though I’m not sharing everything, which includes a lot of photo captures since some of you are more visual and they’ll tell the story even if you never read the words. It’s hard to place limits on things like photos, or even an expression, as that just doesn’t feel to be my path. Plus, being this is one of my most favorite places on Earth, I can’t keep a lid on the magick. And since I know some of you are thinking about visiting Egypt, and/or may never have the chance, this is a way to share the energy and you can travel there through your heart and meditations.
So, if you’re interested in the journey, you might want to grab your favorite beverage and wait until you have a moment to sit with this or skim it the way your heart guides.
I’ve been wondering how to convey things about this experience, but trusted that the way would organically show up once I was ready to sit down and the energy was ready to be written. What I know is that it’s being guided as coded weavings, rather than a detailing of everything that happened. The same goes for the photos I’ll be sharing, as you can imagine that three weeks with an artist’s eye and an energy guided heart would result in a thousand or so captures.
The result is an energy snapshot that pulls together the essence of this trip from my perspective. I also hope to impart some helpful information that might be supportive to anyone who I know is also wanting to experience Egypt at some point. Perhaps the shares will mirror and/or underscore things you were/are going through in coinciding, energetic expressions relative to your life and path during the same time.
It’s been a while since I last shared, but before we headed off to Egypt you might recall that Dave and I went camping with three of his high school buddies, one of our mutual friends, and four dogs – this equating to me hanging with five guys, three male dogs, and one female dog for four nights and three full days.

We were originally planning to backpack the backcountry here in the Tahoe area, but rapid weather shifts had us camping in Sequoia National Park in communion with Earth’s guardians and wisdom keepers instead.

This turned out to be a potent change and our last minute resiliency aligned us with some very grounded, ancient energies of the elder Giants that would support the journey ahead.
Embracing change is always key, as our higher selves know what is most harmonious for us.

This trip was relaxing, energizing, deepening, and mysterious with back-to-back long, climbing hikes of 7 to 8 mile treks each day, lots of nature gifts including feathers, quartz, and even finding some potent charm symbols left behind (see photo below) that were buried in the dirt of our campground that was literally a giant graveyard of up to 3000 year old Sequoia stumps rooted in the Earth (they were logged many years ago). Gathering around campfires every morning and night were our ritual, and look at the perfect phoenix and dragon that showed up in the flames one night (see photo below).
The energy and wisdom was still lingering from the energetic footprints left behind from these once towering masters. We were in a more remote area of the park and one of the hikes we did is the home of the highest elevation grove of Sequoias still remaining that are around 1500+ years old.

We were visited by a doe and two fawns one morning, a doe on one of the hikes, and experienced the strangest eerie animal calls and cries in the night that I researched may have been a small family of foxes or a pair of them. I was also visited by what I feel was likely a fox in the night that came by my side sniffing me out and pushing their head under the tent toward me. On our way home, I saw a beautiful dead fox on the road and this for me felt like a confirmation. So much fox energy was interesting and telling of magickal transformations at hand.
Our time with the Sequoias kicked off on the morning of the Pisces Full Blood Moon Total Lunar Eclipse, which added to the full circle of Egypt’s trip ending on the Aries Full Harvest Moon.
I had a few days relaxing at my parent’s house after the ancient Sequoias where Chamuel (the master Lemurian resides that I gave my mom years ago to anchor a grid between us) and then we were off to continue in the vein of that energy – returning to my ancient roots in Egypt.
I did keep a short journal of my experiences and thoughts, but I am only going to highlight some things, along with the main takeaways from it all.

As mentioned, the first two weeks would be a tour-led, larger group that combined people I knew with new connections and the last week with a smaller, closer knit group that journeyed with my dear friend Mody. In each case, the adventure bringing me in heart connection with sisters and brothers that made the journey rich.
This trip was very different from my previous two in 2007. Those two were at a different time in terms of world scene dynamics, and my personal spiritual growth journey.
In particular contrast, my first trip to Egypt was mostly private, which included a group of only five and pretty much experiencing every site with a private entrance free of anyone outside the group, or nearly no other tourists. I also went through the biggest physical and internal shifts, as a first trip can have the ability to ignite in a place like this.
The focuses on this trip also had a different lean that supported all of that for the people that joined, which wove together a mix of some private entrances with the colorful tapestry.

This trip was very actively “collective,” which I sensed from the get-go when accepting the invitation. There were a lot of group dynamics that were always shifting and morphing, and a lot of outside influences as well with greater contact with others.
All perfectly suited to what is currently needed and where my next steps are headed, and aligned with what I know to be my forte to work with. An active classroom for embodying peace within chaos at times, which we are all being provided opportunity to harness. This is true empowerment, as we will always be moving in and out of different experiences in life and the defining piece of that is how you navigate and reflect a resonance of your highest desire and intention within it.
This is the shift point.
Your power.
Your choice.
And what you choose and embody acts as an anchor and bridge for others.

So, while this trip was different than 2007’s journeys, the common thread for me underscored what I already knew – how Egypt is a heart center holding some of the greatest keys of awakening and empowerment for me in this lifetime in terms of supporting what I came here for.
And all that I can say is that I always feel my most powerful while I’m there, and after returning with codes I retrieved, these continue to infuse my days and life with that same power, where ever I am. It’s also one of the key spots where I know I continue to have roles with direct facilitating in collective ways.

We each have power spots and heart land areas across the globe that speak to us in unique ways. They hold frequencies that activate and initiate something within us when we merge our resonance within these soul ley lines. It is like a spark that ignites and transcends time and space, bringing us back into the wholeness and remembrance of who we are, layer by layer.
In returning to Egypt, I continue to receive new initiations into different and deeper personal gifts.
Egypt is not my only resonance, but I’ve experienced it as the most dramatic in vibrational frequency for my personal evolution and where my soul feels greatly cradled in familiarity and harmonic convergence. Hence, it’s no wonder I return so much and know I will again.

Places like Egypt hold an extremely heightened vibrational frequency that will touch each person who visits in a different way. The energy is that of an awakening on all levels, but this isn’t always experienced in the way our minds would like to dictate it.
It stirs everything within you to crack open and pour forth, both shadow and light, without filters as a means of helping you to embody greater wholeness. And it asks of us to be most vulnerable and embracive to all of that, experiencing it with greatest compassion, integrity, and humbleness – but always expressed in ways that you are ready for and that you, alone, choose how deeply you want to dance with.
Everyone’s experience will be different.

For some it works on subtle levels and small shifts that will likely go unnoticed unless deep presence is nurtured around your days to those changes that occur during and after your time in an area like Egypt.

For some it may manifest as physical symptoms, like a purge and cleanse while things are recalibrating and can be more intense based on filters or fight, or how deeply the energy has reached in your healing and integration evolution.

For some it may manifest as outward projections playing out, emotional outbursts or flows, irritability, or mental, emotional, and/or physical discomfort, as energy heightens the areas in need of most love and compassion within us.
For some it may manifest as ecstatic bliss, heightened euphoric feelings and senses, and overall increase in heart opening.
For some it may manifest as a kundalini awakening, opening of spiritual gifts, feeling new sensations or seeing visions, sudden epiphanies, out of body experiences, a deepened relationship to your higher self and the All/Source/God, etc.
There is no one or right way and it could be a combination of many of these or a variety of other things altogether.

All this to say, everyone’s experience is different in accordance to what each person is in agreement to accept, and where you can release attachment and judgment around how it needs to be, not compare it to someone else’s experience, and simply surrender to the hidden gifts however they manifest, the more you can support your unique experience to provide the most benefit for you.

I saw all of these variations play out during this trip and instantly for me I experienced this as a giant reflection of the collective world scene.
How perfect and not surprising.

And not surprising to me, also, why each of us were there.
My own role became clear immediately.
I also saw reflections of this energy dynamic on the road, which included the experience of driving and traffic, which is quite the feat there – the only other place I’ve seen as a wilder ride in that regard is Bangkok, Thailand.

I noticed how even my nervous system and initial reactions the first couple of days to the highways completely shifted into a place of surrender, peace, and equilibrium, as I worked with the energies consciously.
For me, I use what shows up as a way to both understand the bigger picture, as well as train myself how to put into practice tools that can support greater consciousness around how to shift energies. It’s an apprenticeship of spirit in body learning how to merge the gifts of each in every moment.
It takes practice, presence, and patience. And it’s not without challenge, but it does get easier with conscious intention brought to each moment. In such a power spot on the globe, like Egypt, everything can be heightened with extra clarity and extra potential, providing exact insights and opportunities for how we as individuals have the ability to work energetic dynamics that can ripple out.

Much of my experience on this trip was holding and shifting energies with intense presence. And interestingly, despite a very full, on-the-go, and decreased level of my usual sleep preferences, I was alert, found myself refreshed after smaller windows of rest, and able to sustain high levels of energy on a constant basis that I used both for myself and toward collective workings.
After sleeping just an hour or two, I would often wake thinking that I’d slept a full night, only to be surprised I still had more hours to sleep. Time was skewed for me throughout the journey, and I had no idea what day it was either.
I did have my own personal things, aside from the group-oriented energies, that I was tuning into and processing as well. And I figured out a way to manage both, which took a lot of focus.

We were all engaged in both individual and collective work on this trip, whether known or not, but many of us realized how key it was JUST being there with the frequency we embodied, with specific souls and their frequencies, and in the specific sacred sites with their frequencies at this particular time.

Sometimes we overthink things and think there’s all these specifics we should be doing, when the mere fact of showing up and saying “yes” to a time and place and partnership, can in and of itself be the courageous shift point and key code for change. This may be the only, and yet most potent, reason for your being called there – to Egypt, or any other power spot on the globe or particular experience in a specific place, time, and group of people.

I’m grateful for all who showed up on this journey with the myriad of gifts and resonance they reflected and embodied. Each piece, integral to the rest. Each with an important mission and role. Each bringing forth exactly the ingredients that made alchemy possible.

We don’t all have the same trajectory, mission, desire, or intention. So, I only speak for myself always as to how I experience something. Every creative expression is valuable in how it is chosen to be experienced and my truth is that alone. The key is being able to flow the energy through and let go of judgement.
I experienced many incredible visions during meditations, messages, reveals, and what I would call active initiations into my next level path.
There were many miraculous things that unfolded along the days and some extraordinary insights, openings, and “downloads,” not to mention some beautiful and powerful connections made.
That is the other thing that happens for me in Egypt. I always encounter some of the most powerful soul connections I have with others and they always awaken something bigger as a takeaway for the next part of my journey.

I’m continuing to unwrap this and especially one in particular that has revealed things about myself that beautifully challenge me to new levels of honing my gifts and how that expresses outwardly.
But more simply stated, there was so much we got to experience together on this trip over three weeks, which included a journey of the human myriad of experiences with opportunities to alchemize empowerment, a reflection of who we really are and what we’re capable of to embrace through each other, and an extensive breadth of touching in at a multitude of sacred sites that assisted these hinge points from unconscious to conscious embodiment.
Even if time was short at some places, the mere fact we stood in the timeless sands of these multi-dimensional doorways put the code into the key of life.

I saw all of the places I did the first two trips to Egypt, but so many more new ones I never had. And I know that is by divine design that some footsteps should be retraced and others newly made.
But all of this set us up for very full days that called for high presence with all of the energies, as you’ll see below from some of the things we immersed in – rich indeed.

Dave and I arrived a couple of days earlier than the rest of the group, which gave us opportunity to immerse in some cool excursions that our leader put together last minute.

This included some secret expeditions to places off limits to others like the Mysterious Staircase and Caves (with only one other traveler and our tour leader whom we assisted with some sacred geometry measurements) where the energies were potent and discoveries were telling, as well as getting to ride ATVs (my first time) through the desert to see the Lost Pyramids.


At the Mysterious Staircase that we gained secret access to, Dave took a photo from above of me and our guide, Larry, descending the steps to the bottom and although he could see us in the camera lens when snapping the photo, we were not present in the actual photo that was taken. Mysterious indeed!
I didn’t add that photo, as you wouldn’t be able to compare it to what was actually seen through the camera lens by Dave, but this blew his mind – not something easy to do.

And while in the caves exploring, I heard a rustle and felt a presence in one of the dark caverns that sent chills (receiving a vision about this as well) and later found an incredibly beautiful and translucent piece of flint I may make into a pendant.
Similar oddness took place at another off limits area where the Khufu Causeway is, just after I’d been led to a secret pyramid reflection (from no obvious source) through a doorway that only showed up with precise sun rays casting shadow. Then would disappear as you can see from the second photo of me on the stairway where the pyramid would come and go on the slanted support wall of the stairs.
I felt immediately that something was hidden there (two others confirmed the feeling) and not long after the three of us went into the area I was led to, did we get shooed off by guards.
Larry was always getting us into secret places and having adventures you just don’t normally get a chance to do. Like this walk through the alabaster field, escorted by police on camels who didn’t get the memo that we had permission to be there. All was well…it was just a fun and wild experience from start to end.

Other excursion surprises that were firsts for me, too, included an oh-so-magickal, sunrise hot air balloon ride over Luxor’s sugarcane fields with views of the Valley of the Kings and Colossi of Memnon.







And swimming in the Nile at the original site of the Isis temple ruins still standing, to immerse in the powerful sacred feminine energies.
Most of us just jumped right in with all of our clothes on and spent time connecting with the doorways of magick felt in the stone, waters, and the energetic field here. The water isn’t always this high here, but we got to experience it as a full immersion rather than just walking out to them at ankle’s depth.

Both were some of the major highlights for me and deserve extra photo showcasing.
The following summary will also receive a more extensive photo montage to give you a flavor for the energies experienced.
We also climbed inside and tuned into the energies of other pyramids besides the Great Pyramid this time that I hadn’t before (Step, Bent, Red, Menkaure Pyramids), visited a bunch of new-to-me tombs at various locations, several tombs in the Valley of the Kings, multiple temples along the Nile, the Unfinished Obelisk, mystical and amazing Serapeum of Saqqara that induced a journeying for me, spent lots of time exploring and discovering all around the Giza Plateau in great depth over three different days (including an impromptu sound healing I was asked to do in a tomb), walked the alabaster field through the desert around the Plateau with special permission (from Ashraf, Director of the Giza Plateau whom we had opportunity to meet and hear a talk from) after the Plateau closed, tuned in to the energy within many mosques (including the oldest) I never explored before, visited a special Coptic church where Joseph, Mary and Jesus stayed during their journey through Egypt where several of us had heart deepening experiences, enjoyed two authentic, made-with-love Egyptian meals shared at home with Mody’s and Mohamed’s families, a day in Alexandria visiting Kom El Shoqafa Catacombs (considered one of the 7th Wonders of the Middle Ages), Serapeum and its underground tunnels including a healing sanctuary and library (this Daughter Library is said to once hold books from the original Great Library of Alexandria), and Citadel of Qaitbay, visited the old Egyptian Museum of Cairo, National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (with incredible 22 royal mummies featuring the most well known ancient kings and queens of Egypt), the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), visited the Pharaonic Village (a living museum created on the Nile to exhibit ancient Egyptian life), took a gondolier boat on Ain el-Sira Lake at sunset, spent a full day at a private resort in El Soukna on the Red Sea, enjoyed meals on Nile dinner boats (including a private one that Mody secured for us – we did two Instagram Lives from atop the decks), relaxed a few days on a Nile Cruise to explore temples, visited markets (two of us were graciously treated there by a sweet family and enjoyed their warm Egyptian hospitality – the wife had lived in Texas!), went to Mody’s workplace, and even visited some places twice. Mody was incredible at getting us into places and having them open just for us everywhere with his connections, but we surprised him with an early birthday party complete with mini cakes and a gift extravaganza to kick off the last week.





























Side note: There were cross-overs of Mary and Mary Magdalene energy that came through and tied into a lot of the energies woven throughout our time in Egypt at some of the sites. I had a vision at the healing sanctuary of the Serapeum of Alexandria of Mary coming through there, for example. And of course the Coptic church was strongly streaming her energies for several of us who experienced a rush of emotions through heart activations.


And there was more, of course. The reason I mention this briefly is because there felt to be a full circle to all of the energy I experienced on the ten week trip Dave and I had in Europe this past Spring where so much of the same energy and visions had been experienced. Like with our Sequoia trip with the Giant elders there, our trip in Europe was also an integral part of what culminated in Egypt and laid the groundwork for the work. This even included the crossover of immersing by the Mediterranean Sea, which we got to do both there and in Alexandria.
There is no way to ever share everything and even if I did, they are my experiences alone. But I touch on some things because I know they will resonate with others and the energy you are working with or have been experiencing at the same time. We are all connected and doing this together. The energies are connected as well and not separate or isolated by any humanmade division.
As mentioned, we did get some wonderful private times in some places, which I was grateful for. This included two hours in the Great Pyramid, inside the Bent Pyramid after it closed where Mody got us in, inside various tombs, in a special room of the Temple of Abydos to meditate, and by divine design (like in the chamber of the Red Pyramid, a short window at closing of Dendera, and other rooms within temples) – people cleared out leaving us alone in several other locations when it was needed. Not to mention, Mody was the “king” getting us into places everywhere and even opening up places that were closed just for us, including a huge Nile dinner boat for our group alone when it wasn’t open, and a room and spot at a private beach resort on the Red Sea all to ourselves.
My soul relished in our full beach day immersing in the sea, sand, and sun.
Can you say “revitalize?!”
It was a way to cleanse and relax from all the energy work over the past weeks and fill my cup, along with quenching my mermaid heart with warm liquid silk, crystalline waters.
Mmmmmmm, it felt so good.

We were spoiled indeed.
And so, this trip had elements of balance weaving some alone times between all of the very active times.
And speaking of active energy, another thing I want to mention for people interested in exploring Egypt for the first time, besides the various ways that energy can be experienced individually, is that if you do venture into the pyramids be prepared for what could be challenging situations for some.

There are long shafts you need to climb down and up for long durations in some case. Some pyramids are quite rigorous in the inner system of tunnels where you will be bent over the whole way going forward or backward (your choice), and in some cases crawling, and other cases ascending and descending many steps, and enduring heat and sweating along with the physical stamina needed and passing people up and down, if it’s not a private entrance. It’s totally doable, but some people might have claustrophobia or physical challenges to take into account that may make it harder, not as enjoyable, or not an option.
Most people came out of the first day’s experience in the Great Pyramid with extremely sore muscles for several days in their quads and hamstrings from the climbing. You also need to be mindful of your head the whole way too.
There were some people who opted out of going into the other pyramids after having done one or two because it was too much for them.
It’s an individual experience and even the energies moving through you or that day, can have an effect. This can also be true, actually, for any of the sites you visit since the energies are potent and affect everyone differently and can show up at different times even if you feel great one day.
It’s not just physical challenges that can present themselves, but one might also be challenged with facing shadow aspects within. Light and dark are connected experiences. In order to journey upward, you must also journey downward.

Darkness illuminates the light.
Light casts a radiance on the dark.
On our trip there were times when some people listened to their own inner guidance and opted out of certain experiences the group was doing, or desired other experiences depending on how they felt or what they believed was more aligned for them. So exercising your own inner compass to navigate the experience is always your choice.
For me personally, I felt invigorated and moved through the pyramid shafts quickly. With our alpine hiking at high elevation and ascending inclines daily, this provides us with training that makes these kinds of experiences a lot easier. But I find the whole thing very exciting and integral to my process and the journey it takes to receive the pieces I need, so I already start off with a motivational drive. They are home for me, the same way I absolutely thrive in higher alpine elevations where not everyone else experiences that same kind of ease. I absolutely love it. And even though I can have claustrophobic tendencies with some things, this doesn’t play out in these spaces for me. I would take on any of the pyramids or challenging obstacles (which may even include areas saturated in deep, root, shadow energy) because of the enlivened vitality I felt and because of the opportunity to work with energies at a level here that you normally don’t have opportunity to experience. That said, I did sweat like crazy (as if I was in my own sauna) and even more so probably than others because of the amount of energy I move, along with the physical exertion, but this also felt like a part of the initiation and purifying for me. You’ll know what’s right for you.
But what definitely seemed to be right for our group, was how all of this trip lined up without anyone planning it.
The night of the Virgo New Moon partial Solar Eclipse was our private two hour entrance into the Great Pyramid, which was at the start of this trip rather than being the conclusion of it like it was on my first two trips.

This felt to really crack everyone open from the get-go.
And, we explored the Giza Plateau for the second time and entered Menkaure Pyramid on the Autumn Equinox the following day – the first time being on the 20th and a third time in the last week before leaving just after the Aries Full Moon.


Before entering Khufu’s Pyramid for our private two hour entrance between 7 and 9pm, we noted a large bird hovering over the top of the pyramid. This instantly brought back the experience from my second trip when the people standing outside the entrance said they saw Horus hovering over the top of the Great Pyramid while we were doing our healing ceremonies inside for 9-9-9.

On this trip, we got to explore the King’s and Queen’s Chambers within the Great Pyramid, as well as the subterranean chamber – the latter being a first for me and so potent. I feel this subterranean chamber connecting so deeply with the collective root energies and shadow aspects to retrieve and transmute. Again, this being a perfect reflection in my opinion, of how this trip was so collectively focused in terms of what showed up and even the places we found ourselves in that represented much needed energies we were there to work with.

Being in the Great Pyramid is always pivotal for me and this time was no exception. I won’t go into all details, but I had another of my profound experiences doing a sound channeling while laying in the sarcophagus – receiving at the same time energy and sound from our amazing spiritual guide, Sam.
I never know what is going to show up and I don’t go into anything with expectations or intentions…I simply allow and follow the guidance that shows up in the moment.
The lead up had been sacred – including supporting others as they laid in the sarcophagus and my assisting another young lady in the group with her first sound channeling (I had prepped her the day before for this), which was hugely opening for her as it had been for me the first time. I also joined with Dave as he, too, went through an initiatory experience in this alchemical space. Dave and I noted, later, how we had a moment where our tones hit the same note/harmonic at a given point in his chanting and sound healing.
Side note: I always paid attention to how I was guided with sound when assisting others or in any of the temples and not simply follow what others were doing. I would receive messaging as to when to keep silent and hold the frequency via embodiment alone, when to tone softly, loudly, and whether or not to join someone. (I’ll get back to a message around this that I received in Abydos later.) I was always conscious around being supportive and not overpowering…aligning my frequencies or energy in a way that assisted the highest to come forth from others.
For example, with the young lady I mentioned, I remained silent, but held her hands before she started and I stood at her feet holding a supportive, grounded point (I get chills sharing that) channeling all of the energy flow that could be assistive to her feeling her own empowerment and trusting that. And she did beautifully! I hugged her after and shared how proud I was of her. She teared up from the experience. With Dave, I wanted to support his own voice in this power chamber, and yet also felt it key to join a little to be in partnership, as well as to add healing frequencies. Every moment, I was tuning in to what was of highest good.
Also, at times, sacred areas we visited would give me message that sound was not required and this made sense, as I would drop into seeing parallel realities happening there at the same time we stood in the place. The boundaries between timelines disappeared and I would witness what was taking place in these areas, in real time, and the figures I saw would acknowledge me and invite me, yet would also let me know when something was not needed.
But back to the Great Pyramid on the night of the New Moon Eclipse…This is a brief summary of one part of my experience there….I ended up being the last person to receive and share from this space of laying in the sarcophagus and it was very different from my first time moving sound through me. Sam was facilitating the healing session, first starting off with adding his own toning and energy work to shine a guiding light and then allowing each person to do as they were called while he supported and chimed in with that.

The first time I shared my sound channeling in the King’s Chamber had been a very angelic-like resonance that reverberated. This time a profound power was unleashed from the very depths of my essence, but carried more than just my own, as a channeling of light codes came through. This came after a lead-up of things I had been guided to do within the chamber and after seeing what I call the “Eyes of God or the All” on the chamber walls and breathing as One with them where I sat meditating at the foot of the sarcophagus.
The frequencies that came through me were a culmination of collective parts of the whole I had been guided to retrieve from within the chamber’s “time” capsule by walking barefoot around the perimeter in the dark and touching all directions and corners of the inner space, collective parts retrieved from all who was within the space itself, and this included myself – light and shadow all transmuted within the codes that moved through from my higher heart. The top of the pyramid opened as I laid there holding my labradorite over this same energy chakra – the very one I held the first time in Egypt, along with my Nestor crystal rabbit from then too – and stars dripped golden codes into my higher heart and this emanated forth from my heart and throat and out through a sound channeling.
I would like to add a note here about another way that being in our essence can shift things. My physical body alone has always had a more shallow way of breathing, I breathe quickly when exercising, and breathing exercises have always been different for me than others. However, when I am purely channeling sound, my lung capacity breaks all physical barriers and I am able to hold very long notes with sustained power behind it – a feat that can only be reckoned to being in essence and something miraculous happening when dropping into that seat of power within that we all have awaiting our embrace.
And hence, this experience on the eve of the New Moon in the King’s Chamber was incredibly electric and revitalizing…everything was moved through the sound at decibels that would seem uncharacteristic for me.

To kick off the trip with this, definitely laid the groundwork for unfolding experiences.


What I received as message later, at one of my favorite spots – the powerful Temple of Abydos -where the above famous hieroglyphs reside (check them out) and the magickal Osirion (also above) stands – during my walking meditation through the inner rooms there, was this: “You are the music” and I reflected that, “I am the music”. (I also had some other powerful realizations and training that took place while in Abydos – a very resonant and key temple for me)
This was an instant activation or inner recalibration, as I felt a huge click take place and my heart had an emotional response to the new landing of this truth in embodiment.
So going back to what I was sharing before, this speaks to me of how whether or not I actually move sound through my throat chakra, the frequencies are still exuded by presence of embodiment and purity of intention. A cosmic song is held within our energetic field and shines louder as we drop resistance and barriers of fear. Silence is both golden and loud.

Sound healing is a major component for Ancient Egyptians in terms of healing and spiritual balance. Ancient practices centered on vibrational frequencies, energy, and consciousness held in these mysteriously constructed pyramids, temples, and spaces that act as gateways between realms. The Great Pyramid and the King’s Chamber have extraordinary acoustic properties and some suggest the possibility of structures like this having even been built with sound.
There’s no surprise then, why sound healing can be highly transformative when done in this space…not to mention so many other unknown, but felt reasons to experience being in this extraordinary place that can be profound.
Sound channeling through my own vehicle has been, for me, the most profound for evolution, integration, transmutation, and empowered embodiment.

I was so happy to be able to share it all with Dave and have him experience, firsthand, why for me this is such a power spot and has been important in my life.
Egypt is a clear access point for me to my fuller self and the All.
This is not something that has to be done in a specific place, as it is always within us to understand anywhere we are, but there are elements and frequencies that can come together to create greater alignment for this.

Egypt provides this support for me.

Dave saw and experienced me light up in the ways that I do there and I got to see him shine in new ways as well and him take lead and follow his own inner guidance with things that proved profound in their own ways.
I also saw how others appreciated his presence and anchoring energy.

I also enjoyed seeing him in this space and watching his gifts flourish, as he took lead on things and followed his intuition.

I have noted since returning home, how his senses have amplified and his resonance to alignment has increased in awareness – all beautiful things.

Everyone has their own timing and journey with things, and to support the beautiful unfolding of that relative to each is the gift we can give each other.

Like anyone, he discovered the pieces that resonated and those that didn’t in Egypt, and he went through his own transformative experiences that I feel will continue to unfold over the days and months.
Just like we all will go through from this trip.

He also got to understand how this experience can be curated to match those resonances and he puts that in my hands to create for any future explorations he would be open to join.

It’s exciting to see where the journey will take us.

And he also supports my own callings back to this ancient land when that takes place.

This trip was one that had been presented to me/us, rather than one I would actively have put feelers out for…and in that way, felt divinely guided as a mission. I can conclude, in fact that is what unfolded because of the people that showed up. Alongside that, had I not been there I wouldn’t have met key people that will play into the upcoming days and years. One in particular has already ignited a change in the way I view myself and will be moving forward.
The entire journey was jam packed with richness all around and we definitely got time to also immerse in Egyptian life outside of the tourist areas and enjoy many meals all over the city.
And yet, breathing in the essence of this ancient land has still only been barely scratched.

Each trip keeps increasing and deepening the breadth of experiences and still there’s so much more I’ve learned about and feel called to explore, as well as return to some of the key places for me in a different way.
I’m grateful for the connections that this trip brought together to unpack and anchor things in this life and also that will make future guided immersions possible and curated just the way my heart feels called.
The interesting twist to saying that is I, and another one of my dear friends from the trip who was doing a lot of energy work with me, had both felt before going that there was the potential of this being her first and last trip, and perhaps closing things for me. However, we both walked away from the trip getting messages about the specific work we did together this time having concluded, and that there was different work ahead. Hence, our guidance was that there’s more to come both together, but also in individual ways and at different times.
That said, I’m also so grateful for the beautiful friendships that were nurtured because of the opportunity to get to know online connections in person. We instantly felt where the bonds ran deepest and where some bonds were only meant as a precise key point in time, on the map of star-crossing alignments for a greater good.
And it was such a gift to also meet and deepen the bond with Mody of course. Being together only reiterated our connection and demonstrated how family is recognized not by blood, but by the open heart you share with others. We trusted the connection the moment we communicated online close to almost three years ago, and it translated exactly as was felt, in the flesh. Dave also felt that instant bond with Mody and that connection was one of the main take-aways for him that he was grateful for.
Dave caught this sweet moment of Mody and me on our last evening before leaving Egypt, after we shared a little goodbye dance.
It was particularly fun to be able to visit Mody’s workplace and see all the raw stones and carvings in person. This also gave us opportunity to connect with Mody’s giant skull and dragon carvings – some of the largest of their kind in the world brought to life from Egyptian alabaster and temple stones.



His workplace hosts a resident pigeon’s home that they made for these sweethearts. The pigeons watch over Mody as he works and he and his workers care for them. Ahmed, one of the sweet souls I got to connect and nurture a bond with, who is guardian of these sweet pigeons, felt my connection to them and my role.
He brought me over the two babies that they have been caring for and placed them in my hands. I was overwhelmed with love and showered them with energy and nurturing. They nestled into my hands and absorbed it all.
Speaking of animals – there are feral cats and dogs everywhere in Egypt and at the temple sites. We would always stop and share love with them all and they with us.

Some of our group would bring left overs from meals and feed the animals along our routes. One of the women who had been in Egypt back in February and was returning, connected deeply with one of the sickly dogs back then that had a giant heart pattern on his fur and through a very long process actually ended up adopting him. He became a part of her fur baby family back in the states.

Check out who’s watching us girls while we seized the moment to enjoy a refreshment and snack to watch the sunset before the evening’s festivities began.

We encountered a lot of bats hanging out in sacred areas of temples and pyramids – adding their sonar frequencies to our sound healing – geckos on temple walls, great blue herons, egrets, a variety of other birds, fish, of course camels, horses, donkeys, cattle, and even mummified crocodiles.
The Nile is rich in many ways, as is the experience on the Mediterranean and Red Seas. I hope to immerse more in all of these.




But back to Mody’s friends and business associates – they were a gift to us during the last week we spent in Egypt outside of the tour. They so generously gave of their time to drive and take care of us throughout our days with them and immediately became family for me.
Naser and Sayied became my brothers, just as Mody has been and now they always will be.

Mody’s blood family also welcomed us as their own, hosting us graciously, nourishing both our bodies with great food and our souls with love, as this is the way for Egyptians.

We are One family. Bonds that transcend time and space and speak to the heart of true compassion, kindness, and love.

I learned even more about Egyptians, being with Mody in these days and listening and feeling into the hearts of others I connected with, as well, on this trip. And I think others also had their perceptions shifted in the days spent immersing, especially when they truly listened with the heart to people’s experiences rooted in love.
An appreciation for each person’s differences and yet not seeing those differences is the Egyptian way.

There was so much deepening on both a human and spiritual level that I experienced – once again.

It’s always amazing how much more the heart can expand.
I welcome opportunities to crack it open wider – and that comes both through the bitter and sweet. The depths and contrasts to emotions as well as the experiences that take us on wild and even sometimes tumultuous rides is all part of the alchemy of love.
I’m always ready to embrace the depths of the journey.

I’m looking forward to how things continue to evolve, as it will take a little time to let the new energies settle and organically land.
Although I didn’t share everything about this sacred journey and the weeks of very deep work, I think you can feel how much was woven into the experiences and the photos help convey the energy that speaks louder than words.

And even though I didn’t write about it all, this is still a long share, as I just can’t see any other way around it – other than not sharing at all. But that isn’t my path.
As a bridge, I embrace the parts I can share, as a form of its own activation of remembrance.
Egypt is a homecoming for me…for many.
A window into ancient origins.

A place that can open doorways within to much more than what we think we know.
An access point to transcend reality as we think we know it and all linear timelines and dimensions to more than what lies in Egypt alone…the grains of sand whisper wisdom and divulge mysteries to the courageous hearts.
A portal to the heart of origins – Earth and Cosmos.
Since being back there’s been a continuation of dimensional separation dropping and journeying through the cosmic gateways, (deep like the ocean and light as a feather, as a dear soul told me), like my experiences at certain sites of Egypt and in meditations there.
This has been accompanied by animal encounters with deer, coyote, and hawk messengers making a point of connecting and acknowledging this expanded experience.
On yesterday’s New Moon I found a collection of raw smoky quartz and was visited by three does when I was guided to sit off-trail and discovered they were there grazing.

The day we drove home from Egypt and were just down the road from our house, a beautiful, large coyote ran up to the sidewalk and peered at us with her soulful eyes piercing ours. A wonderful way to be greeted upon return. She is one of the resident coyotes who then showed up again the morning of the 16th just off our back deck in the forest, as you can see.

And the very next day, on a walk with our friends, another lovely coyote walked by the trail as we stopped to watch.
Hawk greeted us the first day’s hike back down to the lake, accompanied by mallard and my geese friends.
The evening before the last coyote sighting, our resident, guardian red tailed hawk greeted me back home just before sunset. He landed on the tree out back and sat there for several minutes connecting. My new camera is wonderful at capturing gorgeous images and crisp detailing when the light is right. Just look at him!
Horus has been in my meditations a lot – no surprise there for me. He guides me daily.
And for now, that guidance will assist as the year winds down and we enjoy the rest of Autumn before officially welcoming in the onset of Winter that this early snow sent a preview of.
I’ll use the rest of October to get everything in order and caught up, then immerse fully in fresh energies the month of November. We have Dave’s mom visiting then, but a quieter rest of the month after that for my project immersions and curating plans for 2026.
We’ll be away in December and again in February – travels in a different vein that will aid my personal projects and new directions. And some other surprises in store.
I’ll share along the way, as inspired by collective energies and nudges of inspiration.
Until then, I have been guided to share a small group of new crystal cocreators who ask to be seen.
While in Egypt I was led to some very beautiful and powerful stones along my walks in and around temples, pyramids, and the desert landscapes. These include raw alabaster crystals, flint, golden mica quartz, quartz, and other unknown beauties carrying ancient energy. I also have with me beautiful colored desert glass from Nubia – these are similar material to Andaras, but charged with Nile River, Isis Temple, and Moon energies. I have a couple of small carvings from Mody I brought back as well – with a large group of carvings that will be shipped to me at a later date. But all of the pieces I just mentioned bringing back have been added to my Egyptian grid and are being used to charge current pieces that are being released at this time.
I will be adding a small group of crystal skulls by tomorrow 10/23. I shared a peak of a couple of them before heading out to Egypt on Instagram, as they were stating their connection to the energies of this power spot. Some people picked up on that and the giant master skull was called home.
If any call to you and you need assistance, please let me know. Details can be found tomorrow on the page link below.
Until then, and always, may your days be filled with love, peace, and wisdom.
Tania Marie: Coming Full Circle & Last Update Until Late October
September begins and in a few short weeks we’ll be ushering in a new season.
We have the Autumn Equinox and Eclipses of the 7th and 21st upcoming, which will prove to make this month pivotally and potently transformative, as well as a coming full circle activation.
We’re making the most of Tahoe’s quieter shoulder season right now with hikes, bike rides, and a couple of beach days sprinkled in before our favorite beach closes for this year. We’ve slowed things down a bit to honor what shows up each day and going with the flow of energy, rather than pushing things.
It’s been beautiful and peaceful and I’ve been able to work on getting the things done that I wanted to before this next busy period begins.
This included a nice family celebration for my dad’s 80th this weekend with an overnight at my parent’s house and dinner out where the restaurant surprised him with a huge piece of cake.

This made for double celebrations, as we continued the birthday fun back home with a cake extravaganza my dad made for us all to include his favorites – this three layer vegan chocolate, almond, cherry cake. Mmmmm!

We had a great time celebrating this jubilee and it concluded with a new cycle for us too.
Both Dave and I got a new cell phone upgrade underway and, simultaneously, I just got a new battery for my computer. What a difference they both make!
We had our phones for five plus years, so it’s a nice refresh – more so for me because mine was not optimal anymore. So, if I missed any messages from anyone over this weekend that might be why, as there was a lot of converting going on.
Things like this always feel like an overall upgrade is being reflected for our lives, especially if our things start to show signs of not keeping up with current energies we’ve shifted into.
It’s that letting go of old, to make way for new symbolism and things do usually start to break down, slow down, or altogether blow up, when we create major changes in our lives. This seems to happen more rapidly these days than the longer year periods they may have taken in the past.
As these new things take root, we’re gearing up for a lot of activity and excitement. So, there’s this interesting mix of both slowing some things down, endings, and then revving things up, and beginnings – all at once.
Currently, I have plans to embark on another five day backpacking journey on the 7th’s Pisces Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse with five guys and four dogs! Dave has some old high school buddies coming up to experience Lake Tahoe’s back country and a Tahoe friend is going to be joining. It’s a first for many of them to do a trip like this and so I helped Dave, as the trail leader and tracker I’ve come to be known as (hehe!), in mapping the course to make it hiker-friendly for the group. There’s been a lot of gear and prep talk with everyone and it proves to be a fun time.
I say currently I have plans to join, as I’m going to finalize my decision the night before due to some other things I’m considering.
After that, it’s going to continue full and busy, as Dave has a short trip while I stay with my family, and not long after he returns, we’re off on a long awaited and exciting adventure. Once we return from that, Dave’s mom and boyfriend will be coming out for a visit for a few days.
This is why after this post, I’ll not be sharing again until late October.
So until then, I wanted to leave you with the energy of what IS about to ignite, as it’s extremely meaningful to me on many levels and does connect to collective.
Without going into all the backstory on how this came to be, which has been a relatively quick, very organic, synchronous, and aligned journey so far, I’m about to return to a heart home for the third time, this life.

I am returning to Egypt.

This is part of my own coming full circle activation I mentioned at the start of this blog.

It’s a soul calling and path embracing.
The last two times I was there, was back in 2007.
I went in April and May that first time and then returned in September of that very same year because I couldn’t stay away.
The photos I’m sharing are from that first trip mostly, with one group photo from the second trip, that profoundly transformed me and when the power of sound healing first ignited in my life and for the first time through my voice.

The energy is tangible in these sacred temples and sites.
You can literally hear the humming and the cosmic music and it awakens pieces of who you are.
I went through a massive rebirthing like no other that involved a unique, and only-ever-time-for-me, kundalini experience on the full day and eve before visiting the Temple of Isis on my first trip.
I then awoke the next morning completed rebirthed and upon entering the sacred grounds of Isis, this Egyptian cat ran up to me to greet me.

I did massive integrative healing and retrieval of past lives for self and others I knew, along with collective work of the same on that trip. I was also able to receive support from my family when I needed them the most.
Here’s some photos of me and mom and me and dad.



I then was able to assist in energy work to support the group of travelers on the second trip, which was made possible by my having integrated the energies of this powerful, sacred spot on Earth, on the first trip.

And this third one feels like it will take all of this and merge it with something more, to a new level.
The first trip was a very small, nearly private trip with two leaders – a channeler and a sound healer. There were only five of us outside of them – four being my family (mom, dad, me, and my ex-husband).
Look at all those orbs around us inside the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid – that’s me at center.
Egypt is actually the only place that I cried from leaving and felt somewhat depressed for a while to be away from. So when the same woman who led that journey talked about putting together a special 9-9-9 trip (this concluded with a private ceremony inside the Great Pyramid on 9/9/2007 that she received guidance on being important for collective energy shifts) just a few months after the first one, I didn’t hesitate for a second to say, “yes.”
This second trip had sixteen of us plus the same channeler leader – so 17 total.

There’s always an Egyptologist that joins each group, as well, and any other Egyptian handlers necessary for what the individual tour involves. The man on the right is the dear and amazing soul, Mohamed Nazmy, who has since transitioned.
This September we have a similar group size returning with 13 voyagers plus 2 leaders (15) for the first part of the tour and 14 voyagers plus 2 leaders (16) for the second part of the tour.
We’ll be there for three weeks total – the first two weeks with the tour group and a second week with a smaller group of 9 of us that are staying on and joining up with my sweet friend, Mody Ra who so graciously has welcomed us with open heart and home to show us the magick of Egypt through his eyes.
This smaller group is made up of people who know each other and Mody online only, but will be meeting for the first time in person. We know, however, that this coming together was written long ago for the work we will be doing there with this particular soul family frequency returning once again.
For me and Mody, it’s an extra fun, heart-warming, and meaningful moment we’re both looking forward to.
The front end of our time in Egypt will be following nearly exact footsteps as my two previous trips, with a few new additions. And the last week with Mody will be a more local’s experience and adventuring to new places altogether.
We have a lot of fun surprises in store during that last week, but overall the whole journey will be a wonderful surprise of energetic amazingness – of that I’m sure.
To say I’m excited, is an understatement. I’m especially excited to share it with Dave because it’s his first time ever experiencing Egypt. I know it will be pivotal.

I’ve been taking things one day at a time though, and listening to the messages for any energetic preparations, as well as am being in receiving mode as to what key and important things I’ll be guided to do at each sacred site and along the way.
For this, and other reasons, I’ve been more removed lately while I tune in and connect in other needed ways right now. So, just a heads up that I’m in a different space right now until after I return.
On the past trips to Egypt I’ve done a lot of self-guided processes, alongside the group things we initiated together, and I know this time will be similar. I know I’ll be guided to share some things with the group when the moment moves me too.
There’s a lot of bookended collective energies and alignments that have all happened without planning them, although we know how that goes on other levels. There is significance to the timing with collective rippling woven in, as these things always have.
We get in a few days earlier to get anchored, but things will ignite on the Virgo New Moon partial Solar Eclipse on 9/21 (which will involve private time inside of the Great Pyramid again) and come full circle with the Aries Full Moon on 10/7, Egypt morning time. We’ll also be there for the Autumn Equinox on the 9/22.
Given what took place during and after my last two trips, I can’t even fathom what’s about to activate.
All I can say is that I’m hugely grateful things came together in such a supportive way to make this trip possible and I trust what will unfold, as there has never, personally, been the levels of energy and astounding experiences than the times when I’ve been in Egypt.
For now, it’s one day at a time with complete trust in cosmic perfection.
In the meantime, I hope that each of you continue unwrapping the golden threads of your own cosmic perfection.
There’s so much support around us in all forms to receive and amazing doorways of opportunity for alchemy to be woven into your own elixir of life.
What we each do is connected for all.
There are always so many possibilities.
As, I sign off until October, here’s a last update on crystal offerings.
The most recent large crystal skull beings were lovingly homed and we couldn’t be more grateful. Again, I’m always taken back at how they clearly know when they want to be shown and whom they want to be with. It’s pure magick to help bridge these beautiful connections.
After listing these, a few little magickal beings spoke up that they were ready to fly, so I offered three Starseeds that are more affordable yet potent pocket, travel, dreamtime, and altar companions. I shared all of their information at the link below, so please read their story to learn about them and how they specifically asked to be bridged to you.
And don’t forget that if one of these sweet beings calls to you and you’d like to start working with them, my last shipping date is September 5th. Otherwise, I will resume shipping in late October.
There’s nothing too far out of reach, so keep dreaming, believing, and moving forward, one step at a time!
See you in Autumn, as we near Samhain!
An Energy Check-In ~ Appreciating Our Puzzle Pieces to Each Other
I’m feeling like doing a little energy check-in with you all and seeing how you’re experiencing this month of April and the way the Eclipse energies may have woven into your life. Sometimes this can be as simple as a pause and asking some questions of yourself to receive a gauge from your own intuitive and body wisdom.
Doing these little check-ins, at the least, help with becoming more present about what you’re feeling and reflects that you are in fact worthy of giving love and acknowledgment to.

If you look at recent days with what is on the table and compare this to the past that you’ve made it through, what are you noticing different about what is showing up now and how you are feeling about it?
Are there areas you notice to no longer be as important, whereas others are taking on more prominence?
Are you caught in between a new and freeing feeling you caught glimpse of and an old one that’s felt painful, but familiar?

For many this recent period has been a highlighting of things – underscoring that which has felt promising and that which has felt uncomfortable. The two feel connected to me, and through the contrasts, life’s purpose reveals itself as a way to experience each layer with the same gratitude and embrace for how it invites you to entertain a new relationship in each circumstance.

The Eclipse energies felt light for me, but I acknowledge, and am grateful for, being strategically anchored as such to be able to assist others because I know it has been intense for many. And I’m grateful to see the contrasts, as they help me to deepen my own practices around unity. We are all a perfect puzzle fit with each other.
My own feelings around the Eclipse were about a slow and organic undercurrent that mirrors Earth’s shifts over time, rather than anything explosive on either side of the fence.

What I CAN share about some of the experiences the Eclipse brought through, include the following things.
I had some potent dreams, the two nights leading up to the New Moon Eclipse that I recognize were about clearing and rewriting layers of old that were ready to be easily released. The dreams were gentle, but powerful, as I deliberately walked through dark and old tunnels connected to childhood and faced the ghosts (represented by literal spirits of dead people) and fears head on. I just kept moving through it, and actually traveled the tunnels twice – there and back – with greater lightness achieved.

I also remember part of the dreams of the second night where I actually pulled out what appeared to be a small branch of dried arteries from one of my nostrils. This happened without any pain or blood…it came out fluidly even though it was branched out like a fan and there was no possible way it could have come through that narrow passage. That felt amazingly potent.

This pointed to something unknown and deep-seeded that was hindering flow in some area of my life having been removed – things that no longer served me or the support system of my life, which could have been some kind of stress, pressure, belief, or fear, I had now eliminated from within.

I was so amazed at the ease and gentleness of it all and again, how the Eclipse energies had overall felt this way for me.
I know that everyone has had a lot of varying experiences to move through (including Dave who’s been navigating rough, but potent waters with Boojum’s transition) and so, once again, I feel that where ever we each find ourselves is a place of synergy to others and exactly where is perfect to be.

Some are maybe being asked to lean into community, support from loved ones, or more inner trust and love of self while reflecting needed alchemy to their puzzle piece companions.
And others perhaps being that support or energetic anchor and creators of possibilities on the other side of the bridge where the pieces join.
Each integral to the other and even if not interacting directly in these ways, we are all frequency holders of equal value to the whole.
That second dream was the night before the Eclipse, and again, it moved with a flow that made it feel like an alignment had ignited and the portal the Eclipse opened, enabled the readiness within to move forward.
And in fact, I had a special interview lined up for three days after the Eclipse and when I viewed the video there was a noticeable frequency emanation I saw and felt when watching myself. We don’t often see ourselves, so it was very interesting to me, as it was truly like looking in the mirror and being able to see direct shifts embodied from what I recognized taking place in dream time. A very powerful reflection.
That’s why taking that pause to tune in with ourselves, how we’re feeling, and where find ourselves in the moment can be helpful as so often we overlook just how much we have actually evolved. It’s healthy to honor those steps.
Some other things that happened around the Eclipse were two nights of coyote packs howling and yipping directly behind our house in the forest. The first took place just as we went to bed, on the actual night of the Eclipse. A pack went on for a while to the left of the house in the forest, just down the trail we usually walk.
And then the very next night, after the Eclipse, they loudly woke us up at 3am, but this time we were both surprised as to how close they were. They sounded to be directly in back of our house, maybe no more than fifty feet from the back deck.
Coyote medicine is a prominent force on my current path, weaving in with my other key animal guides. I feel that their vocalization is a big part of that because sound is so front and center and speaks to me of creative self expression in communicating one’s authentic song, or voice. Even their ability as guardians to see things that others don’t feels important, as they highlight the potency of cycles from death to rebirth.
There’s been a lot of excitement here on the edge of the forest with birds and ground dwellers in a dance of joy for Spring’s presence. I’ve been watching all the varieties of birds going crazy, literally…as wild songs and excited chirps, as well as spiraling chases amidst lovers take place.
Even the little furry ones are squealing in delight, playing games of tag, and exploring my garden to discover what a new season offers them to enjoy. Chipmunk and squirrel cuteness run by the windows round the clock and of course Frith is reigning over it all like the Lord himself that he’s named after from Watership Down. Lord Frith is the Sun whom the rabbits basically see as the God of Rabbits.

And wouldn’t you know it…Frith was front row and center in our front yard bed on the morning of the Eclipse, just at the start of its cycle to totality.
We were heading out to drop Dave off to ski, while I was going to do some errands and personal things, and a feeling made me turn my head to find Frith sitting quietly, but regally as if he was awaiting us. I told Dave and we both watched him peacefully sit, munch, and sit some more – watching us.

Dave even noted that he wasn’t afraid at all with all the noise we were making loading the car and pulling out.

Of course Frith would be there for this potent event.
Later that day I found half of a bird’s eggshell on our hike out in the back forest, which spoke to me of cycles always renewing themselves and fresh ideas and possibilities were in the beginning phases of growth.

And even though our location visually experienced only 36% of the Eclipse, the animals were at 100% in terms of what they were mirroring to me of what I felt as a subtle dimensional roll although could have resulted as some being caught in between.

Our yard and garden here reflect that as well…the in between. I have so many bulbs flourishing in green brilliance with first the purple then white, and followed by yellow crocus beginning to blossom, but the ground is covered in the memories of seasons before.



I went out front to take a closer look at everything in the beds and I was greeted by two giant bumble bees enjoying the first crocus blooms.


I decided to take some photos, both of these harbingers of new beginnings and messengers between the spiritual and physical realms, while also of the merging of old and new in the beds before my Spring yard cleanup begins.


I thought I’d be starting this on Friday, but we had some thunderstorms and on and off showers that afternoon after a couple of days of warm 60’s temps.

And the forecasts also changed, yet again, so that the weekend’s predicted rain to snow visitors didn’t happen as thought. Saturday was precipitation free and the kisses of snow flurries got pushed to a short window on Sunday evening.

So, I’ll begin today after a hike, as the weather is perfect to get my clearing mode on during the partly cloudy and mild temps up ahead.

It feels really good that this process will begin and complete this week, as it’s one of the in betweens that will feel freeing to move into the next phase.
In crystal news, the afternoon of the Eclipse also highlighted some things around crystal cocreators I have with me. In particular, a Sirius Quartz known as one of The Pures that connects with Mt. Kailash and so much more, wanted to be front row, center stage and taken outside to be explored and in the energies of the day’s unfolding. I discovered rainbows I had never seen literally drenching the entire crystal in faery dust sparkles of color and light. The whole crystal just lit up and also revealed a key to me and a hidden manifestation. So, I would say that this crystal had been activated with the Eclipse energies to take me to the next step of the adventure. And since that time I spent with this being, there’s been extra sparkle and aliveness I can see, even indoors, from where it sits next to me at my desk and has called in another cocreator not long after that.
All of my crystals and crystal skulls feel and look like they’ve gone through an upgrade this week actually. There’s rearranging being called to order for refreshing grids, a lot of chatty activations going on between everyone, and a readiness approaching for tuning in on receiving messages and names that have been holding out for the right time. This all may lead to one more, final release – I’ll keep you posted if anyone tells me so, as it would make sense why they’ve stayed quiet in that regard until after the Eclipse kind of rearranging things in the subtle fields for connections.
Until then, for anyone who is looking for a first skull friend or an addition to your council, there are five special crystal skulls remaining and I am happy to assist with exploring the energies of any that may have been speaking to you. Four of them are perfect little travel companions and one is quite the powerhouse anchor. I added two videos at the top of the page link below that gives an overview of the last five, and then their individual listings, videos, photos, and info are found below that. Three are magickal children – these can be a softer access point for people to connect with deeper energies (for example the black obsidian supports a soft, playful entry into what one might deem more challenging) – one is humanoid (the amazing heart chakra emerald bridge), and the largest is a cross between galactic being and humanoid (the incredible blue apatite and orange calcite channels Arcturian energy to me).
Stay tuned, as there are a couple of new Talks With Crystal Skulls episodes upcoming too.
So a lot of momentum fluidly releasing and I can sense there’s going to be some interesting things developing.

But if you have felt, or still do feel perhaps, like you are in the in between and it is feeling uncomfortable, the first thing I have found to be helpful is making peace with exactly where you’re at and recognizing its perfection.

It also helps not to compare yourself to anyone else’s process and to remain present to your own experience.

In general, really focusing on your own journey, tuning in with yourself, your process, and your expression in life, I feel strengthens your sovereignty and nurtures the beauty of your own unique voice to flourish.

Some other things that could help include being curious about how you’re feeling, checking in with your body AND moving your body, shifting your perspective where possible, finding ways to feel gratitude for what you do have, tuning in to assess your core values and to identify what your heart truly wants, believing in yourself and that you deserve what you want, and taking the time to focus on self care to assist a recharge.

We are edging toward Taurus Season on the 19th, Earth Day on the 22nd, followed by a Scorpio Full Moon on the 23rd – all of which feel like a lot of deep healing at core levels to our very nature that can lead to regenerative experiences.
Makes sense, as this Moon is also the Full Moon of Primal Forces. Makes me think of the coyote packs that keep howling through my days. It’s also a Full Pink Moon and I love that tenderness leaning into the transformative process of such shadowy depths we can learn to play in, like the playful coyote as well.
That, to me, is key….to learn how to play in all fields of potential and not have judgment against one or the other being better or worse – simply a choice and also a choice as to how to experience it.
However we find ourselves to be experiencing life right now, leaning into compassion for self and others more can help to close the gaps between the differences – whether that’s contrasting spaces each person inhabits, or contrasting spaces you might feel caught between at the moment.

Everything we experience has its perfect tone within the harmonics of being.

Winter Solstice: The Light is Reborn Plus Episode 3 of Talks With Crystal Skulls, Surprise New Offerings & 5 Day Sale

This is the first Winter Solstice and Christmas without Astrid physically with us, so as you can imagine I am reminiscing about the special times we’ve spent with her over the years.
This enchanted season was a favorite of ours. Astrid loved to look out the windows at the Winter Wonderland scape before her, just as much as I did, and enjoyed all the wonders that lit both of our hearts.

So, indeed, there is a mix of feelings this year for this special time I hold dear. And in general, I do think it can bring up a variety of emotional waves for many and especially with all that is going on in the collective. As the year winds down and one reflects and reviews all that has unfolded in the months now behind us, may we release with every exhale and expand with every inhale.
With the loss of Astrid I’m riding those waves this time of year and it does stretch my heart muscles to feel even more beauty and warmth, as well as know the gifts that all of it makes available to unwrap.
I loved getting her special gifts to let her know how much she was adored and deserved the very best, but mostly we just loved snuggling up together.
It warmed my heart to see her happy, zooming about, cozying up by the fireplace to watch a movie with us, thumping her presence in a room, and making sure to let us know early in the morning that new snow had fallen across the land while we slept.
We even enjoyed some magickal photo shoots, while snow fell softly on our fur and hair.
She was a true snow bunny and I often thought of her more like a snowshoe hare, as she reminded me of these incredible, strong beings I experienced in the more northern parts of the Rockies of some of my favorite areas while we were in the Magick Bus – so mystical, wise, and illuminated with otherworldliness from within.

I’ll always remember Astrid’s first time setting her paws and thumpers on the snow after mom had just gone out barefoot in it herself. Hehe!
And how she almost got the best of mom…nearly escaping through the side of the gate I hadn’t pulled in tight. She looks at the opening and then turns back to me, as if to say, “Oh, nothing here to see mom.” Then after assuring me all is well, she turns back to go for it. That’s when I shut the video off before I have a true, wild snowshoe hare on the loose!
She even gave her signature thump on queue with the music in this short little video of her exploring her first snow. You’ll need to click through to the post itself to watch, as videos don’t show up embedded in emails if in fact that’s how you’re receiving this.
A Winter faery queen and her faery queen rabbit we will always be.
Astrid loved to dawn her crown proudly and step out safely in mom’s arms to explore the wild alpine world we called home together.

It warms my heart to look back on our memories we created and to know that her spirit is in every crystalline sparkle that winks at me from the fresh fallen snow.

She has left her mark and magick in every piece of life for me to unwrap each day.
There’s no more precious gift.
She also reminds me constantly that magick is a state of being that beats within our hearts. We merely need to embrace this inherent truth of our embodiment.
Magick is the way we experience life as a result of knowing this about ourselves.
When you realize the miraculous nature of your existence, you open yourself to being more present about the miraculous nature of all things from the smallest to largest.

The observer creates the experience both by perception and reflection. You have the ability to paint each day as you would like to experience it.
The world can be your Wonderland to navigate from the vision of your heart. Your inner landscape is yours alone to live by and no matter what takes place outside of that, no one can take away your experience, feelings, visions, or hope.

We’ve been enjoying so many magickal moments that Winter’s sparkle has woven into the fabric of our experience by constantly embracing that inner child wonder and belief around every corner. Even though Winter is only now officially here, and it’s a very mild one so far this year, there’s been enough little surprises from Jack Frost to make things wonderly.
The pendulum swing of seasons continues a bit, though, as we just had two plus days of rain and wet snow where we are that melted away our white carpet, but this did bring a few inches of new snow at the mountain tops.

That didn’t stop us, as we just jump right into Nature’s current expression and enjoy what she has to share. That has included some wet forest walks out back.

And if we hadn’t embraced the moment, no matter what shows up, we wouldn’t have discovered this beautiful little bird’s nest.

How perfectly synchronous to my post on 12/5 where I mentioned seeing a vision of a nest in my mind’s eye as reflection of energetic themes. You might recall this description I wrote in sharing how the nest felt like:
“…the rhythmic pattern of love and intentions woven into the most intricate and devoted ways. A labyrinth of commitment and dedication to the seeds cultivated within. A swathing of content interlacing dreams into forms and embodying a sacred geometry of the heart’s expression. The nest as a weaving of the heart wanting never to cease spreading its energy in the exquisite way only love knows how.”
This little nest we found on our walk the 18th is a perfect reflection of this. You can’t see fully in the photo, but the inner core of it is absolutely exquisite with the tiniest of interwoven fibers so delicately and meticulously laced with love and intention. I will be preparing it, once it dries out from the fresh rain, and adding it to my ever-growing nest mobile that is a centerpiece of sacred intention and energy in our space.

And in the outdoor space, the expansive vistas and quiet terrain have been a fresh breath, since most people aren’t out enjoying Nature walks at this time of year and especially not in the in between.

Even wildlife here is mirroring this in between, as the bear theme continues strong.
The bears are not hibernating yet and even the small animals have been out and about with unusual behavior. While starting a hike with our friend and his dog where the above photo was taken, a large coyote greeted us and seemed to be wandering in the later morning and we’ve been seeing a lot of large gray squirrels dashing about, sometimes seeming disoriented. We’ve also seen deer tracks in the snow, which we don’t usually.
I mentioned in one of the videos about a crystal skull available, that I overheard our neighbors talk about a big bear that had come to their house recently. And just yesterday we found another half eaten pumpkin by our bear friend from our neighbor’s front yard.
Well, then these two sightings hit the headlines about bears crossing the ski slope at the resort we ski at.
Bear at Heavenly Ski Resort Darts Across Ski Run
Mother Bear and Two Cubs Crossing Under Ski Lift
This is the run, below, and in fact we were skiing on these days when the above bear sightings took place, although we didn’t see them firsthand. Dave was there when the first one happened and we were both there when the second did.

Playing in the in between is where the field of potentials and alchemy stir. It’s always interesting to see what things ignite in that potent space.
Our more consistent snow isn’t forecasted until just after Christmas, but we venture up and down the mountain to immerse in some of both worlds, just as right now the collective feels to be experiencing different worlds and timelines.

When we anchor ourselves within our hearts and create that as our center of peace, we can then more easily move in and out of experiences, worlds, timelines, and what ever shows up in life. This core of you is your home, your grounding, your reference point for all else. It can be your stabilizer, as well as your fluidity so that you can maneuver more easily and navigate what shows up.
And when we create that inner stability, then we open ourselves up to more love.
The way to experience more love, is to love more.
Contrary to our ego mind’s conditioning to want to protect ourselves from a survival standpoint, the higher self’s wisdom is to feel without limitation and to breathe into each expansion and contraction so that we stretch the muscles into greater realms of possibility. This part of us knows how resilient our hearts actually are and that to place a limit on the alchemy of love, is like locking away your power and potential – love leads to growth and unlimited creative potential.
Any time my heart has ached, the depth of breathing into the human beauty of feeling has led me to know greater love. It’s not always easy, but until we lean into it we won’t actually experience the truth of love’s power.

Opening my heart to all experiences, has led me to the now and I’m grateful to feel SO much, as it’s led to special moments like these that are entwined with great and small gifts in all varying shades and colors of life’s artistic expressions.
So, as we embrace this beautiful Winter Solstice, what parts of you might you extend a little more love to and a little shift of perspective on to see how magickal your illuminated existence truly is for the collective?
Where do you feel contractions to your heart’s ability to feel?
And how might you surround yourself with something that lights your heart in ways that supports some softening into love’s strength?
We don’t all have tender childhood memories to call up, but we do have the ability to love that inner child in all the ways she or he deserves, right now.
When I was growing up, I had a nutcracker that looked similar to this giant one above. I called him my boyfriend and he in fact was the nutcracker I danced with as Clara in The Nutcracker ballet.
I imagined many things when I was a child and continue that dreaming into today. Imagination is where dreams take root so it becomes important to bring that part of us into our adult years to help continue the momentum of creative visualization helping to form realities.
It took me many years and a lot of heart stretching into the greater love zones to manifest my Nutcracker alive, just like I experienced being Clara, dancing in my dreams with him as a child.
But every step is part of the manifesting process and even the unearthing and unwinding to recreate process, bringing one closer to the essence of our visions for the highest good, layer by layer…just like it takes experimenting with the ingredients to find the aligned recipe for that gold alchemy or universal elixir.

Sometimes life is like exploring a vast library with rooms connected to rooms, shelves upon shelves, spiral staircases to each floor, stretching out in all directions…and each day and moment you can pick out a different book, turn to a new page, read a new paragraph, and understand things from a different light of that moment.
You also have the ability to become the author of each day’s book and write the story for that day from morning forward, or start rewriting your “herstory” or “history” as you would like to know it to be – reworking the pages of your inner world with all the magickal ingredients of your choosing, imagination, editing, discarding, or blending.
Some of that is about seeing the journey like a “choose your own adventure” book where you get to pick the twists and turns and even the beginning and ending, over and over.
How ever you want to see and experience things, make it your own, AND….make it fun.
Wishing you warm fuzzies that kindle the light within your heart to glow more brilliantly even when the day feels short, as this inner lantern will help you navigate any storm and know your way through any form of darkness.

Warmth is a state of heart that comes through the sharing of our love, kindness, and creative magick.
Winter Solstice is when the light is reborn and you remember that a new beginning always stirs.

Today’s Winter Solstice felt like the perfect portal to share Episode #3 of Talks With Crystal Skulls. It explores the world of crystal skulls some more and will be the first time we hear from The Speakers.
Yep, there will be some messages and other introductions that may speak to something within you.
I hope you enjoy this little Solstice gift from our hearts to yours (mine and The Speakers that is). Again, the video won’t be visible if you’re receiving this by email, so please click through to watch or you can visit my YouTube channel taniamariemagick directly.
If you watch the full episode, you’ll also learn about the new crystal skull sessions with The Speakers. This was a surprise unfolding for me, but I continue to listen to the prompts they share and say, “yes” to what is showing up. Energy sessions and channeling sessions are now available – the energy sessions are the most powerful transmissions I’ve yet to experience. They wanted me to introduce these in the show, but greater detail about the two kinds of sessions can be found here:
The Speakers: Crystal Skull Sessions
There’s also a surprise crystal skull Winter Solstice Sale that they told me to offer for the remaining skulls in order to help get these beings to their cocreators and help support the work ahead, as well as to let you know there’s some pretty special little gifts that each is accompanied by. This special will begin today 12/21 Winter Solstice through 12/25 Christmas Day – 5 magickal portal days that Astrid and I adore.
Included in the group of four is a Brazilian hand carved, spectacular, large elestial smoky quartz crystal skull alchemist with tons of rainbows that walks and bridges both the Earth and Cosmic realms – this is one is exceptional and hard to find at this value for size and quality. This skull and the next can really support you to stretch your spiritual muscles into the next phase of your evolution, so if you’re doubting your new up-leveling, they invite you to embrace more of your personal power and trust. – This one is CLAIMED
Then there’s a powerful Himalayan quartz with black tourmaline and iron oxide star being master carved by Subhash Meena, with heart carved at the third eye, channeling Cosmic love and connecting with multi dimensional realms, while supporting and grounding high level spiritual transformation into embodiment (pricing already discounted from its original value before sale).
Then there’s an Indonesian chrysoprase (heart chakra and growth stone) gentle, but powerful skull being that supports journeying challenges with more serenity and stability, helps with all levels of emotional challenges (broken heart, anxiety, intense emotions), and helps bring more joy, optimism, and prosperity. – This one is CLAIMED
And last a Leandro master carved golden healer quartz star traveler master healer working high vibrations in a gentle way to support you reaching your highest potential, open to possibilities, live life more fully, and reach goals with love and optimism. – This one is CLAIMED
You can explore the remaining crystal skull spiritual allies, and more about each, that await their heart home here (special offerings will be reflected individually):
At this same page, you will also find a brand new opportunity for bringing home powerful crystal friends. I’ve just added “Personal Crystal Showings” as a way to explore crystal friends in a private experience.
As the paragraph on this describes on that page near the top: This is for very special, personal release crystals from my collection that are ready to work with new cocreators. I have a large group of potent and incredible crystals – too many to post – so if you would like to have me help you with finding one for you or would like to see what is available, please reach out. You will be sent a video of the pieces to explore. This is a way I feel I can better serve your individual needs and work more intimately with you in connecting cocreators – something I love to do! Great discounts and special bundle pricing will be available.
The contact link is at the page as well.
And last, I’ve just recently updated the page of Mody Ra’s work with a variety of smaller carvings that include Isis, Sekhmet, Horus, Bastet, Earth/Gaia Goddesses, Sphinx, Dolphins, Flower of Life, Scarab, and Moons in Ancient Egyptian Stones. There is also an incredible, large Nefertiti head carving of extremely old black basalt from Aswan Temple of Isis. All stones comes from sacred areas of Egypt.
There are just 3 skulls remaining from the initial introduction, and 1 brand new one that’s just a little teaser of more to come in January. The last skull on the page link below is carved in an extremely rare, new Ancient Egyptian Stone Tomb find – Granite – that is a one-of-a-kind. There are no other skulls carved in this stone. On Mody’s last visit to Egypt, from which he just returned on the 14th, he was working with a group of the rarest stones he has yet to see and work with, which this last skull is one of. I had the opportunity to be in on this process of securing the stones with him and seeing it all unfold from the start. We’ll be sharing an upcoming episode in the New Year about the stones. You’re in for a treat with these and he’s taken his carvings to the next level, yet again (wait until you see the images carved into the upcoming ones). I’m so excited to receive the new pieces he custom carved for me from this group and I just know those of you who are drawn to ancient stones and skulls will find these new skulls out of this world.
Egyptian Skulls & Dragons by Mody Ra
Happy Winter Solstice dear friends!
Cycles of Mourning Leading to Renewal ~ Flower Moon Blossoming Potential
Waking up to Jack Frost’s sneak appearance heralded an interlude blog post before returning to the shares lined up in my intuitive queue. 😉
I’ve continued to experience strange, but mysteriously beautiful and odd things, as well as powerful messengers, findings, and even dreamscapes – both my own and of me appearing in other people’s dreams they share with me.
Coyote continues to cross my path – she just did again two days ago – I found another Algiz Rune in the forest (below), discovered nearly half of a transitioned female mallard duck, and held space for my dear Cosmo, whose birthday it just was four days ago.
Finding the female mallard came right after seeing mallards swimming in the pond with only one duckling. The others may not have made it, but then seeing the one female dead was like a rebirth cycle right before my eyes.
Bones and transitioned animals always seem to find me amongst other discoveries. It appears to be my role as a bridge to also witness and hold space for the natural cycles. I honor every one I find in their own way, bury, do energy work, and receive the messages.
Finding the female mallard also spoke to my own shifts and rebirthing I feel underway, although the form is unknown as to what will unfold.
The enchanted and mystical sightings of late on hiking trails hold promise that whatever does, will be in divine flow. In these times, having these supportive messages has brought much needed comfort.
There’s a sacred feminine aspect transmuting across the collective. It is this depth I’ve been navigating recently as to its merging with the new.
The winds of change indeed keep blowing and in fact we have Spring snow blanketing everything today. It came in late yesterday and continues on as I write this. We’re at about five or six inches where we are and more up at the mountain tops.
So, yes, just as the blooms begin to pop along the trails here, a Spring snow storm blows in. Continuing in the theme of “expect the unexpected” these beauties you see in all the photos from yesterday, above and below, are under a little snow blanket today that tucked them in last night.
The weather shifted mid-hike yesterday and as we climbed up the trail with full lake view the whole way, we watched as the clouds started to engulf the north end of the lake and edge toward us. On our descent, the warm sunshine turned to brisk wind and clouds.
There were so many beauties starting to emerge, including the very first wild irises, and to think this is just the beginning though is incredible, as there will be so many wildflowers everywhere in all varieties from miniature for only faery eyes to see, to large and center stage for all eyes to gaze upon.
Indeed you know I stop to smell all the flowers and marvel at their beauty. Their time in the sunlight is fleeting so I embrace every moment I have to experience them when I can. You never know what’s coming next and the time you’ll have to enjoy something. “Do it now” is my way of living life fully.
A Spring snow blanket now casts its wand of enchantment everywhere and actually feels so perfect for what I’m experiencing within, as the waves of intensities and softness ebb and flow. Cocooning in reflection and transformative incubation is where I find myself still, so it doesn’t surprise me that Jack Frost is still sneaking about. In fact, I find him comforting.
That’s also mountain life for you, as if you choose to live in the mountains of any region, nature and weather patterns are ever-changing, moment-to-moment. That’s the beauty of why we live here and personally I have found every change to be consistent with my inner world. Perhaps it is for others, too, even if they choose not to embrace it.
But the element of surprising changes is also reflective of the unpredictability of these times and we can either fight or flow with – the latter being more like Mother Earth.
There’s a constant cycling of death and rebirth, mourning and renewal happening, but with everything speeding up, it all seems as though it’s intensified more than usual. I continue to hear of the loss of loved ones, including animal companions, everywhere and even if one is not experiencing these literal physical losses it may come in the form of symbolic transitions within certain areas of our lives or certain aspects of our individuality and human expression.
Many souls are not meant for the new frequencies coming in and others are able to support the new frequencies far better from off-planet. And even their transition itself aids the shifts in motion, as everything carries an energy signature and key codes that are connected to the whole continuum of what is in momentum.
A lot of transitions continue as the Earth collective recalibrates and everyone decides, on a soul level and within their divine contracts, where their role is most useful. If we only identify as human, this can all be confusing and devastating. When we begin to soften our scope into curious exploration of more than just these physical bodies, we start to understand a bigger picture at hand.
We are mourning and celebrating every moment.
Having experienced the worst loss in my life has helped prepare me for every loss that’s come after and helped me transmute them as the gifts, rather than punishments, that they in fact are. That doesn’t mean our human hearts don’t feel pain, but every feeling is a portal to The Great Mystery.
As I ride another wave of complex and contrasting energies, I see that we’re in the doorway of the next Lunar cycle and so everything I’ve been seeing around me and feeling within doesn’t feel out of sorts.
I’ve always been extra connected to Earth and her cycles – in fact since I was young, I’ve actually seen how I’m tied into her expressions including earthquakes and shifting weather patterns. Interestingly, we’ve felt quite a few earthquakes over the last month or so that have taken place on the California side. We live on the Nevada side, but these recent shakes have echoed inner shifts and my own “letting off steam” during processing. We actually had never really ever felt any rocking and rolling while living here in the years now, or previously. And suddenly 4 to 5 rumbles have rolled in closer proximity and I found it reminiscent of years ago when I would have something huge change in my life or an epiphany happen and boom!
But like the blossoms that have emerged, I have in fact felt a softening of the rough edges to collective energies I’m transmuting. I am also taking steps to amp up my energetic boundaries, do some intentional personal spell castings of my own, and getting my hands in another faery kitchen alchemy creation from yesterday’s gorgeous manzanita harvest – the last of the season.
I don’t know what it is about these blossoms, but they really touch my heart and feel like the perfect ingredients needed right now. I managed to harvest eighteen cups this time of the sweetest little faery blossoms that tickle my heart. And as the snow falls today, I’ll be cooking up batches of delight with them.
With a heart full of gratitude, I thank the Elementals of the land for their gifts and blessings. All I want to do these days is immerse in the richness of Earth all around me. Thank goodness for the bounty of nature we live in. There is nothing to complain about and everything to be thankful for.
There’s been a plethora of enchanted and mysterious little finds, including a bunch of portals and vortex areas like these:

I’ve definitely been anchoring more into my inner Forest Witch lately.
Finding this incredible giant tree root creating a witchy throne portal full of deep mystery and powerful energy, was just the perfect activation.
This coming Wednesday the 26th ignites the Sagittarius Super Blood Moon Total Lunar Eclipse – this Full Moon is also known as the Flower Moon (synchronous to all the wildflowers in bloom right now) and will undoubtedly continue to inspire a plethora of blossoming transformation in our lives.
It’s a time to be explorative and adventurous, add variety – the spice of life to our lives, communicate with clarity, be open to possibilities and options beyond your limited scope, stay open minded in general, release attachments to anything rigid and that blocks you to your wholeness, and embrace the potential for emotional cleansing that leads to renewal.
Full Moons are a time for taking stock of all you DO have to be grateful for and to be extra mindful of all that you complain about day-to-day and moment-to-moment.
How might you refocus that attitude to be more effective in actually funneling energy toward change, rather than constantly spinning a web of negativity and limited perspective? Everything that bothers you holds the alchemy needed to free you.
Look at what needs a little clean up in your life and pluck things out so you can recreate more with conscious intention.
Try to recognize the good in your life and all the blessings around you, including the people around you who despite any perceived shortcomings have their own challenges they face relative to their life path, which we have no idea about since we’re only here living out our own – and may not even really connect the dots to all of that ourselves.
This is a time to reflect and then plant literal and symbolic seeds, then water them with more true, unconditional and compassionate love.
Sweet New Moon Wishes of Softening Potential

Wishing everyone a beautiful New Moon of sweet possibilities. I’m feeling like a cool breeze has blown in carrying with it a refreshed and inspired energy around this Gemini Moon, and as if a softer layer has been revealed under any resistance that might have been present. It’s perfect support for the current book cover painting commission I’m working on that is a portal of possibility itself.
I was never hugely drawn to pink, except for when I was a little girl and now that the little girl me is so much freer within my inner world, wearing pink feels nurturing. There’s an innocent little faery giggle I hear in pink that feels like a burst of sweet strawberry icing on the tongue or puffy cotton candy clouds dancing in a baby blue sky. Perhaps the shedding of more and more layers has uncovered a magnetism for it. Pink feels soft, vulnerable, innocent, sensitive, hopeful, romantic, calm and joyfully loving.
Softness, to me, being a message on a wider scale asking of us, where can we soften our inner dialogue, rigid perspectives, angry behaviors, harsh judgments of others or self, and our hardened shells we learned to erect for perceived, self preservation?
Protection can help nurture freedom, but can also restrict evolution. It’s not about having no boundaries, but the comfort in knowing you can energetically create these when needed as balance, and not simply out of constant separation, judgment, insecurity, and isolation projections.
Themes I keep sensing and are increasingly revving up for people include anxiety and stress at an all-time high, amplification of fears while illusion and escapism don a cloak of intuition that hides the reality of them, confusion as to how to navigate the deeper, darker depths in order to open the wisdom behind the fear doors that keep you away from yourself, and barriers to self knowing, love, and care because the conditioned cycles have been circling around for so long. It’s easy to get caught up in what’s going on outside and with trying to make everyone else change, but this is a futile mission without softening your own inner world around the ways you might resist change yourself.
There aren’t only contradictions in our outer world circulating, but also within us, which can torment us endlessly and war with each other to the detriment of own exhaustion. This New Moon window aids us in illuminating the possibility to see yourself more clearly. Gemini brings new perspectives so that misunderstandings can be brought to light.
Communication and perspective are highlighted now, which includes how you see things and communicate with yourself. An invitation to truth is a way to practice opening up to real conversations and discovering what you’re holding back or holding yourself back from. This is a great time to clear out the mental chatter, inner clutter and stories that are taking up time, energy, and space in your world.
Fear can hinder your expression, creativity, growth, and overall well-being and potential. A new approach to life constantly beckons us and doorways like this New Moon can support that if you’re willing.
Connection is also valuable right now and finding ways that suit you to feel more connected with others, All That Is, Nature, and yourself. Finding avenues that resonate for you and help cultivate this more are wonderful…writing, communicating, networking, reaching out, being in Nature, sharing your gifts…are forms of connecting.
Perhaps if you do too much technological connecting, then simpler ways might be a fresh start via communicating through your talents, immersing with Nature, using energy work or meditation. Or, if you’ve felt more isolated, maybe a technology upgrade to help you tune in with others or share your gifts on a larger scale might be activating.
It’s also a wonderful opportunity to recreate yourself…imagining a whole new you you’d like to express in the world. Here you can ask yourself how your life, actions, speech, and feelings align with your values. What message are you embodying and transmitting to the world? Are you consistent in what you believe, say, feel, and how you behave?
A lot of people tell me that they’ve done everything – positive thinking, self-healing, growth processes, and sometimes even exhausted medical help if they have a physical challenge….and are exhausted. Understandably they want so much to learn the lessons, feel better, and be done with things. They share that they want to feel whole and sense there must be more than meets the eye, as they simply can’t shift out and break free. I understand that frustration, having been there many times myself.
They ask me if there’s anything missing?
I don’t claim to know all of the why’s of their challenges, as there can be many levels to it to explore and uncover, but what I do find that can many times fundamentally be at the core is that sometimes people aren’t fully ready to embrace being freed or “healed” as they call it, as this would call for a whole new way of life, being, and responsibility.
The challenge seems to serve them in some way and there’s a part of them that is not really ready for what it means to not have the challenge anymore. It can be something very deep we hide from ourselves. So it becomes important to root out any thoughts and impressions, deep beliefs and feelings for why you may not feel “deserving” of this integration to take place. And perhaps even why you may be afraid of the “responsibility” that comes along with it.
Perhaps the very challenge is also what fuels the beauty of who you are and what you have to impart in service to others – in essence, it provides the “gusto” behind your message and dreams.
Sometimes we can’t see our wholeness that already IS within the experience we are having. That there is a perfection in the experience when we release it from definitions of life’s should’s and should not’s. We get in our own way when we think we know it all or have tried everything.
First off, this is not possible, as the universe is unlimited and it is self-deceptive to think you have explored all possibilities. You may have gone as far as your current perspectives are open to, but I assure you that they always have more room to expand…limitlessly in fact. And simply, too.
Sometimes it can be the smallest of tweaks that makes the difference, which comes at the right time and place for that click to put things into motion. There’s no time frame or right or wrong about this. It’s a journey and an experience of spirit in motion of being human.
If you find yourself hitting a wall, learn to love this wall, as it is there for a reason, take a break and allow your feelings and mind to refresh and let your subconscious percolate with the feelings and frustration for a while. When you separate from the need to have to get a solution then you work with and align with your energy instead of against it. It’s this embracing and love that will enable you to see more than one solution and from your heart you can find your creative power to create something new.
Life really calls for a softening in our hearts on all levels and toward life itself. It’s understandable that life circumstances can create a hardening, but at some point we may need to unlearn that, as hardening tends to crack and break at some point.
Clarity and true compassion comes with softness.
Softening isn’t about weakness. It’s a strength that knows it needs no false shield to be empowered. Standing fiercely in transparency and truth comes with a softer approach. One that is willing to reveal the authenticity and trusts the power of that to speak for itself.

And our Magick Rabbit Etsy Shop continues to host our biggest sale through June 20th, Summer Solstice. We have a few notebook journals, greeting cards, prints, and original mini and large paintings remaining. We continue to support rescue rabbits with sales, and with the current, mirroring, deadly virus strain (RHDV2) pandemic for rabbits (killing both wild and domestic rabbits), this is especially dear to my heart to do.
Change is in the Air ~ Online Reiki Classes & Spiraling New Directions

I write this from the Forest Portal’s surprise Spring snow day, again reflecting how things shift moment-to-moment. Yesterday was special because it marked what would have been Cosmo’s (my sweet rabbit boy) fourteenth Earth birthday and on his day, as I do always with all of my dear ones’ special days, we communed through nature. Our adventure hike in Washoe Indian area was a revisit of one we only introduced ourselves to part of a couple of weeks ago for the first time with intention to complete it.

We decided on a picnic hike (above photo in a field of blooming bitterbrush was our chosen rest spot) for the nearly eight miles of exploration, which not only graced us with a solo journey without seeing a human the whole time, but proved my words before we left to be foretelling of the gifts Cosmo would bring forth for us.
I said out loud to Dave, “I wonder what Cosmo will gift us this time? What messages does he have? What animals might we see, what feather might he leave?” Well, the wildly windy day (feeling like 50 mile an hour winds at times) with a mist of faery rain drops keeping us cool, but never wet, spoke of their own purposeful, timely messages and nurturing alongside the unusual sightings.
The only companions were coyote crossing our path with a black tipped tail, raven flying overhead with a snake in its mouth, and a huge pile of the most gorgeous feathers from a Sooty Grouse with peacock tipped iridescence in gold, bronze, green, blue, purple, and pink but no body, bones or blood around – just stunning plumes. Minutes later I found a longer feather you can see pictured below with the others from a different bird – maybe hawk or osprey?

I knew each sighting was a gift and omen that I was to receive from Cosmo so I honored the bird and wrapped the ones I was called to, gently in my shirt. Being an area the Washoe Indians frequented, created extra reverence for this bird, and the gift Cosmo had brought through the Universe to me. Many Plains Indian tribes used to honor these birds with a Grouse Dance. My dance will be a sacred ritual of intention and creation this week onward, lighting each step with newly infused perspective and energy.
The photos don’t do the colors justice when the sunlight hits them, but I was told I’ll be creating something sacred with these at some point and they are a gift for imagining and manifesting that beauty.
They carry a message of personal power, protection, purpose, centering, grounding, harnessing energy for clearly defined goals, the sacred spiral for vision and enlightenment with the Great Mystery, sacred and rhythmic movement and harmonized dance within Earth’s cycles for higher awareness, creation of selfless beauty, ceasing external movement for inner life realization, and new rhythms, teachings, creations, and rituals to lead you into new dimensions.
Once abundant, grouse are now less prolific, but its feathers sure speak to abundance, beauty, and rituals that bridge Cosmos and Earth. This beautiful being somehow feels like an extended hand of clarity and connection to help me integrate the new and bring through what I’ve struggled with expressing.

And lastly, right before the hike ended three very cosmic-like deer crossed our path and just kept watching us without fear. I thought at first they were all female, but one walked out before they leaped gracefully away and it had tiny antlers growing about three inches or so – a boy! I knew right away this was Cosmo, Joy and Nestor – my rabbit soul family has often showed up in deer form when no one else is around.
In Glacier National Park, two cosmic deer had shown up after Joy’s transition – they were Nestor and Joy, as Cosmo was still with us. Yesterday Cosmo joined the girls and their showing up through the portal of unusual energies and signs felt like they were opening a new doorway for me. There may be some twists and turns as things transform, but a promise invites me – both a new one and a reminder of the old one I made. There’s that sacred spiral that grouse speaks of.
Much of the day reminded me of the adventures we had with Cosmo and Joy while in the Magick Bus for 1 1/2 years – similar vistas, memories popping up of favorite places this reminded me of, that in between-worlds energy, nobody else around, similar sightings including grouse and cosmic deer, and strange but interesting weather.

I’m still reflecting on the messages of these signs he sent, as there feels to be a story he’s sharing through them of things upcoming. A spiral dance in motion of bringing me back to center.
I also received clarification yesterday around another change. Cosmo has a very clear way of coming through since he departed on Halloween/Samhain when the veils are thinnest.
Although I won’t regularly be teaching Reiki anymore, it came through that I can and will offer just one class per each level of Reiki this year.
It might be an ongoing, once yearly offering, but for now it’s something I’ve opened to because of the state of things in the world where energetic upgrades would be beneficial, and due to inquiries both spoken and unspoken. I get a lot of messages from people on the energetic levels, so I’m putting this out there in case it speaks to you.

I’ve created a separate page with some information and how you can register.
I’ll be opening the Reiki training to online availability only, likely via Zoom, but maybe Skype to only 6 participants for each class.
These will not be starting until August, as I need time to focus on current and new projects, as well as the new changes in my life upcoming that Cosmo is also hinting at and conveying importance in timing of.
I have a very busy few months of client sessions, book cover painting for an author, writing, wedding details, record keeping for our side business, and channeling new information coming through in an anchored way. I feel some large changes on the horizon that my current projects are stepping stones toward, which makes them integral to complete.
So, the page will not have specific dates in the months proposed. That is something I will finalize once I see who actually commits to and confirms their participation, as I will then be able to communicate with the group and customize and optimize days and times for the whole.
You’ll have the ability to register with deposit, or in full on the page below.
Please contact me with any questions, to discuss your unique path, and/or individual specific needs at the contact link on this page too, so I can know how to support you best:
FYI: If you contact me and don’t hear back from me in a day or two, please check your spam folder because I’ve had a lot of people find my emails there for some reason. You can also check back with me again in a couple of days if you don’t hear from me and I’ll message you a different way if needed.
Whimsical Wednesdays ~ The Artist’s Corner: The Art of Living

From the red rocks of Sedona to the white wonderland of Tahoe, I sit here surrounded by winter blankets of snow swathing the Forest Portal of our home.

We arrived back Monday evening, still vibrating in the energy of the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse – also a Super Blood Wolf Moon – and I’m just now fully integrating back in time for today’s Whimsical Wednesdays share from the Artist’s Corner.
We were away between Friday 1/11 and Monday 1/21, enjoying quite a full vacation and igniting of the new for 2019. Since we were driving, we decided on a stop-over in Las Vegas the first night to break up the drive – only exploring out for delicious comfort vegan food at The Modern Vegan for both dinner and early brunch, but the rest of our time was spent in the magick of Sedona’s high vibes.

We spent several days on our own anchoring in the energies, as Sedona welcomed us back, and then the rest of the time was with dear friends who all journeyed there from both the Grand Canyon and Tahoe to reunite.

I also had the chance to connect with two sweet friends that live in the area, we set intentions and sent out prayers from the Peace Garden two separate mornings, and of course we sampled all the great vegan eats and some new finds!



Every day was filled with tons of outdoor fun and exercise that tallied up to 60+ trail miles we ventured on foot and bike in 8 days – although I only went mountain biking once and Dave went three times making his mileage come to 74.

We thought it would be fun to see just how much adventure our feet take us on. 🙂

Unlike past blogs, I won’t be recounting our entire trip, but instead will be focusing on how Sedona was actually the birthing of my art and the “art of living” for me.
If you’d like to see a full photo journaling of the adventure, you can find all the beauty and adventure at my Instagram page here, even if you’re not on Instagram:

It was interesting that our friends asked me about my time in Sedona, having me recount the evolution of my experiences with her energy since the beginning.
Although I now experience flow, joy, and tons of nature immersion, it wasn’t that way at start. Her powerful vortexes asked of me to dig deep, purge, cleanse, heal, and strip away everything I knew how to on a daily intensive that lasted for nearly two years. My journeys then were journeys into the inner sanctum of my heart and I only ventured out on small occasion to walk or drive somewhere where I could meditate, anchor in the work I’d done, set intentions, and receive insight for what was next. Other than that, I had no contact with anyone and in fact, had made a clean break from the life I had before.
I can share more another time, but it was very intense and hard work.
It also opened the door to my artistic journey I’m on now.
Although I drew nearly all of my life up until that moment, for joy and only once for actual pay, it wasn’t until I started uncovering layers within myself that I decided to purchase some oil paints, canvas, and start truly painting for the very first time in my life while on this inner journey living in Sedona.

It didn’t happen right away, but the more I released and healed, the more I felt the call to express myself on canvas.
The first painting I created was for my parents – it was an oil painting of Venice they have in their living room today – an image I replicated from their travels there. I just jumped right in, as if I’d been painting all of my life, but in actuality I was simply moving the energy that I had released from within that echoed of my lives on this earth and the artist within me that had always been there.
Upon completion of this painting, I then created some symbolic paintings that seemed to echo not only the healing and insights I’d received, but the messages of empowerment and transformation that were taking place.
I also created a few charcoal pencil portraits of my grandparents and others.
In essence I was tapping into the well of creative energy as a form of communicating what was within me and channeling through me, while also adding layers of healing that aided the work I was doing – giving myself therapy on every level imaginable and with every tool available that I knew of and was learning along the way.
My art became a form of self expression, much as this Super Full Moon in Leo has beckoned forth from us all – to shine like the light that you are and to birth new creative things from the power within that you embody innately.
It was in Sedona when this creative birthing took place, that I knew art or creative expression was an important part of who I am and what I needed as the breath of life to bring through.
And since, I’ve continued to channel creativity, as it flows through me in its many forms of expression that shift as I do.
It is also then that I realized life could be lived as a form of art and how the “art of living” started to manifest as my way of life – everything seen as a way to create beauty and inspiration, as well as to paint my way through experiences and weave the story I wanted to tell with different strokes of colors and feelings that reflected my essence.
From then on, even though I would still have more layers to journey through, I lived much more presently and with intention.
Sedona helped bring me back to the core of who I am and it was up to me how I wanted to paint the rest of my journey from the heart.

So while my first encounter with Sedona was intense, there has always been a love affair with her energies, knowing she supported exactly what I needed. Since that time, every trip thereafter has been softer and more joyous, flowing, and activating, igniting major shifts and leaps at just the precisely aligned moments.
I was always a willing partner to her dance, but I’m no longer struggling to keep up.
Creativity continues to ooze from each encounter with her and greater inspiration comes forth, providing me choices and new possibilities.
This trip was no exception, as I found myself not only receiving inspiration on the new, fun images I’ll be creating next, but also found myself dancing with yet another potential timeline I hadn’t entertained before.
I didn’t know until the trip was approaching that we’d be there for this powerful Full Moon Eclipse.
Perhaps many of you also felt its potency and like something has shifted and/or released. It seems as though things are moving forward and receiving a green light, after a thoughtful pause for a bit.
I shared this with a dear friend about my experience with it:
The eclipse was a powerful experience, although gentle too. We actually had opportunity to watch half of it with an astronomer and telescope, which was very cool to see it so clear and close. It was very clear in the evening and then a thin veil of clouds emerged, which made it symbolic, to me. It did not affect viewing, but I could tell there was still a very thin veil – so as if those layers are very close to full reveal collectively soon. The astronomer had about 4 telescopes set up and we could see star clusters as well, like the Pleiades. We left to go back to our Airbnb home because we had to pack and leave very early the next day for the long drive home, so I watched the second half there. The house was perfectly situated with the moon right in front of the main sliding door and windows and patio, so I watched the whole thing. It was very moving because at the same time I got word that a favorite bunny of mine (that I’ve followed on Instagram for a while) had passed right as the eclipse was darkening. I saw that he’d become ill earlier that day and I had a feeling something might happen. It was very potent to say the least, and being that he reminds me of my male bunny, Cosmo, because they had the same exact special needs and the same unconditionally loving demeanor and expressions, it hit me hard. It was quite something that this bunny, Flynn, had chosen such a powerful portal just like my bunnies Cosmo and Joy had, to depart – one on Samhain and the other on Summer Solstice Full Moon. It wasn’t random and it just clicked in a bunch of things, as well as felt like a big shift. Very heart opening and moving. So, it did ignite some memories, but also a seed of new. A lot through the bunnies, but deeper levels. I’m not sure as of yet what the new entails, but that it is a seedling awaiting choices that can ignite new timelines.
Something very profound hit me while watching the eclipse, which I haven’t felt in the past with other ones. It was special and sacred to come through rabbits, whom I hold most dear and reflective for me and my life. They, too, symbolize creative abundance and fertile impetus for the new. The Moon, of course, has a large rabbit on it. 😉
I received a big hit to my heart and core of what is a must for me to do right now.
The rest is a story yet to unfold, but will do so as I support this creative expression to live as the art of me – my creative contribution to the new beauty we’re weaving together as a collective.

New Etsy Shop Update:
Originally there was intention to start a Giveaway this past Monday 1/21, but with travels and such things shifted and Astrid has chosen this Friday 1/25 to begin the Giveaway instead. This will take place on Instagram.
There’s potential of things shifting with the shop launch date, which is set for Friday 2/1, but for now it’s still that date. I will be checking in with Astrid and my other star bunnies, as the days unfold here. I have a lot to prepare for the launch, and two items have been delayed until the 8th or sooner due to an office move my printer is undergoing.
I always trust my rabbit familiars with their impeccable and keen navigation, so I’ll defer to them if they want us to go ahead and launch on 2/1 with most of the items, adding the two later that first week of February. (Laura mentioned that the Lunar New Year is not until the 5th and the 8th the Moon enters Aries, so who knows what the bunnies have up their thumpers!)
Or, if we’ll just launch everything together when I know they will all be ready.
Either way, it’s coming up very soon and I have lots to prepare. So I’m off!
It was a wonderful trip away and I’m also happy to be back. I hope you all had a great week and that the energy of this Full Moon Eclipse has ignited a creative transformation within you too.
