Happy Lughnasadh! (pronounced Loo-nah-sah) it may be called Lammas – this festival is celebrated on either the 1st or 2nd February and this year it is on the 1st February.

What is it I hear you ask! 

It is a harvest festival, a time to reflect and celebrate on what you have harvested in your own life over the past year. 

At this time of year we are reminded that even though we are surrounded by bounty, the wheel of seasons is slowly turning and we are going into the winter months.

It is also a time to show appreciation for all that you have received, whether actual or emotional, as in you give thanks for new confidence and to celebrate life.

This is the time of year to de-clutter your homes and minds, give things to charity, start meditating, volunteer – I think you know what I’m talking about!

If you have an altar, you may wish to do a little ritual of cleansing your home with a smudge stick and then lighting a candle and reflecting on and writing down things that you regret.  As you write these things down, farewell them as it is time to let them go.

In a safe environment burn your list and as you watch the smoke go up to the sky say goodbye to those things and be ready to move forward.

And then focus on the next phase of the year!

So, how many of you have been able to stick to those New Year’s resolutions??!!!  Please let me know!

I am slowly recovering from my car accident, thank you to everyone who sent me healing energy and loving thoughts, they were greatly appreciated. 

The problem with whiplash is you look fine but feel like you’ve been hit by a truck! 

I’m really having problems with my neck but as those of you who read my blog each week will know, I’ve taken the smacks over the back of the head that I received from Spirit in 2011 and am listening and doing what my body and inner intuition are telling me!!  A tough lesson for me to learn, but I do believe I have learnt it.

A little true story:-

When my husband and I lived up at Wauchope we “adopted” an older couple and have forever after referred to them as our ‘Wauchope mum and dad”.  Wauchope dad just celebrated his 80th birthday and we were up there for the surprise birthday party, because well, we’re family!!!

Wauchope mum was talking to Chris (my husband) the other day and telling him that years ago she worked with a lady who did palm reading and one day this lady did a reading for her.  She said it scared the daylights out of her, because everything that she said was correct and at the time this lady said that Mum would have five children, and mum said, “I don’t think so!”.  She said that everything this lady told her had come true, and in regards to the five children, she only had four, but said to Chris – you are the fifth child!  So, yes, as far as she is concerned, she does have five children!!  It took longer than expected, but the prediction did come true!

Isn’t that a wonderful way to look at things?  My husband doesn’t have contact with his family and it brought him to tears of happiness that they truly think of him as a son (and me a daughter of course!) and that even though she may not have given birth to him, she does indeed have five children now!

I wanted to share this story with you because I thought it was beautiful and I don’t know if there is a morale to it or not, but the only thing I’m being given, is to be open with the readings that you get – some people take things to literally and you do have to be open to all possibilities.

A message from: – Goddess Ishtar –

So many of you think that giving all the time is a good thing, I am telling you that it is not!  When you constantly give and don’t receive you tire yourselves, you become down, and you lose energy.  This is not the place or space that you want to be in.  You need to learn to say ‘No’ when you need to and don’t feel guilty about it.  You need to learn to accept the help of others, because you need to exchange energies and constantly giving isn’t doing this.  Don’t be too proud to ask for help when you need it from those around you.  When help is offered to you without asking, accept it as a divine gift from the Spirit world to say thank you for all you have done.  Even if what you are given is what you think of as only a compliment, accept it and be thankful that someone cared enough to give it to you, then you are more energised to go and give a compliment to someone else.

Think of giving and receiving as a wheel, when you constantly give, but don’t allow to receive, it is no longer a wheel but a straight line, when you give and openly accept receiving it is a wheel that turns smoothly and constantly allow for a continuous journey.

Just as a reminder for the 2012 year:-

PSYCHIC PARTIES – I do party groups where everyone has as 15 minute reading – this is lots of fun for baby showers, birthdays, hens nights etc and it’s just $20 per reading.  These readings aren’t burnt to disc because there are usually too many people and it just takes up too much time, but I am able to take notes or the person having the reading can take them if they wish.

FUNDRAISING – I’ve also done a few fundraisers, again which I am happy to do to help a good cause – I usually give a percentage of my takings for the day to help raise funds.

GROUP OF FRIENDS – If you don’t want to go the whole hog with a psychic party but there are four or so friends that would like half hour readings, I will visit you in your home – as long as it’s within a certain radius of Newcastle!  As long as I have a private spot to sit and water to drink, I’m happy!!!
