Welcome to June ! I’ve been contemplating Softness.

soft·ness

/ˈsôf(t)nəs/

noun

1. 1.the quality of being easy to mold, cut, compress or fold.
2. “I snuggled deeper into the warm softness of my bed”
3. 2.a subtle effect or contrast; lack of sharp definition.”a general softness of focus”

My focused inquiry these past weeks has been aimed towards reclaiming calm and softness. I rediscovered the affirmation works of Shakti Gawain and reawakened my Gene Keys inquiry. To share what is rising up I’m offering an emergent wisdom course called Moon Magic beginning on June 6th, date and times are at the bottom of this page. You’ll see to time options, attend one or both. Themes that start to arise in one session can be easily expanded upon with extra time set aside to be in circle together. You won’t miss out on anything if you come to only one session, the field dynamics of creating in group deepen your process. A recording will be sent upon request.

Given the stress of contemporary living with all the shifts and changes, I have been intentionally reorganizing my office and library. My hologenetic profile is a 5/1 , my 1st line Researcher has accumulated an enormous amount of documents within exploration of Creativity and Self Transformation, this all began so very long ago before technology really boomed, old school paper records were “the” way…in an effort to create more office/studio harmony I am striving to balance between digital and analogue. As an Artist / Bookkeeper my right /left brain dynamics have been interesting for me to observe, my Artist self takes up most of the physical studio while the computer takes the financial business. Striving for balance in this as well, as I’ve now become a digital image collector & creator !

Why Affirmations now ? To help relieve stress. To call in positive thinking ! Can you think if more answers to the why ? Why art making ? To communicate the unseen from within. Collaging images is an active form of visual narrative, the process reveals new ideas while also expanding a sense of personal space within the feeling of Timelessness.

I’m repurposing saved calendars, magazines, even my original art images. Having a good printer helps to duplicate images as new themes are introduced.

Last Sunday, I created a fresh Cosmic Smashbook™ to hold a new vision for my next phase of 2024. I’m making a move which means I’m consolidating my studio into mini studio . Scale is a wonderful concept, my art world can be like an Alice in Wonderland Tale…shrinking downward or expanding up and out. Journals and Cosmic Smashbooks™ are a perfect way to scale an Intentional Creativity practice. Visit this page to see Supplies needed for creating the container of a Cosmic Smashbook™,

the nightingales

the nightingales sing

with sighs of love

my spirit my luck

they’re in your power

the rose blooms

in the month of may

my spirit feels only darkness

suffering from the love

come faster my dove

come faster with me

come faster dear

run and save me

I’ve rediscovered Summer , in all surprise, as the transformation of our world meets its edges, I’ve rediscovered Summer. I am beyond grateful. Each day brings gifts of heat, insects, temperature plunges, temperature rises all across our planet, even in the recent daily disasters…

I have recreated a reconnection to Summer. This Michigan Summer is uniquely opposite of the Southwest, and tho I long for the the vistas and sharp air of Northern New Mexico…Michigan has reconnected me to nature, in a restorative way. My inner wisdom whispers that befriending where we are at is a wise step.

A swarm of no-see-ms and mosquitoes bit me in what felt like a thousand places, the welts truly itched and lingered. Regardless, the nymph spirits of forest and rivers have blessed my Spirit. Today, a shocking rainfall poured out of the misty skies, a little delay in playing outdoors for now.

Last month I had the pleasure of guiding art making at the Lansing Art Gallery and Education Center for a budding group of young creatives. I’m so proud of them. Expressive Art is so important as an act of personal wellness and inner connection, allows for letting our left brain and computer “Borg” brian to relax a bit.

What else is happening ? I am reminded of our childhood back to school assignments…What I did on my Summer Vacation….well, I painted in Legend…at Musea School for Intentional Creativity, it was an incredible experience. My Legendary Muse is a work in progress, She carries an old soul feeling for me. I learned so much these past months, I had let my painting pause whilst I played with AI and Procreate, I always water color but it is good to get back to my golden acrylic paint and brush.

I’d like to thank all creatives that that joined in Full Moon Wisdom & Lion’s Gate Circle this month, it feels good to get back into the practice of intentionally contemplating image and watching what emerges !

Until next time

Michigan’s Spring is becoming a glorious event.

My joy overflows in daily discovery of the variety of greens that grace the outlying landscapes and neighborhoods.

Today I discovered that wild violets dapple the lawns in purple clusters.

Magnolia blossoms now flutter to the grounds as the fruit trees burst in full blossom splendorMay has unfolded under the watchful gaze of the Bull gracing us with Beltane, a Solar Eclipse with a dance of surprise and wonder of so many celestial bodies all the while the grace of the seven sisters has blessed and guided us.

While centering myself today, to create my calendar and New Moon Class announcement, I was following my inner voice.

My first inner message was to take a morning walk, then I was to settle in at my desk. Well, you know that’s not quite what happened.

I have a good friend who has a query in her healing work…”What want’s to happen ?” Well, what wanted to happen was to read my emails, which let to thinking about sending out my community email, which led to looking at images, which led to finding that I was choosing a lot of blue and gold images…and then…as tracking would have it, I discovered this image from Nasa of the planet Mercury courtesy Wikimedia Commons

“This mosaic of the Caloris basin has a monochrome mosaic from a previous post overlaid with an enhanced-color composite. The colour mosaic was created using photos taken when the spacecraft and the Sun were both overhead, which are the ideal circumstances for detecting brightness fluctuations.”

I was surprised to learn that Mercury is never seen in the dark of the night as he rises and sets within a few hours of the Sun. Historically he once was called Apollo, rising with the sun and Hermes ( classic Greek) setting with the Sun. He becomes Mercury in Roman culture.

Classic Mercury

“The cult of Mercury is ancient, and tradition has it that his temple on the Aventine Hill in Rome was dedicated in 495 BCE. There Mercury was associated with Maia, who became identified as his mother through her association with the Greek Maia, one of the Pleiades, who was the mother of Hermes by Zeus; likewise, because of that Greek connection, Mercury was considered the son of Jupiter. Both Mercury and Maia were honoured in the Mercuralia festival on May 15, the dedication day of Mercury’s temple on the Aventine.” excerpt from the encylopedia Britannica

We gather a few days early in our creative circle to keep our weekend open for wonderment.

This month’s New Moon, travels quickly from Taurus to Gemini

5/18 Moon in Taurus Gate 27 Food of the Gods

5/19 Moon in Taurus Gate 23 Alchemy of Simplicity.

5/20, Rubbing horns to feathers from Gate 23 Gate of Simplicity to Gate 20 The Sacred Om Moon shifts from Taurus to Geminii

5/21 Moon is in Gemini holding their own in Gate 35 Wormholes and Miracles

5/22 Moon Gate 12 Gemini

5/22 The Sun shifts from Taurus into Gemini as communication is happening in a big way as their degrees travel thru the Sun’s Gate of Exquisiteness in Taurus into the 20th Gate of the Sacred Om to meet the Moon in so much possibility.

The magical sign of the Messenger blesses the Sun on 5/22 in Gate 20 The Sacred Om herself, and the Moon meets her that day while in Gate 12 Pure Heart , as a Gift of Discrimination, as the planet Mercury rules the sign of Gemini, our Star will be experiencing Mercury as it’s guiding planet.

Hermes/Mercury carries quite a role as his mythological persona is blessed to travel between the worlds with winged sandals.

He engages in quite a few plots and stories with heavenly beings and their myths. He carries a caduceus as a symbol of peace once symbolically represented with olive branches and garlands of ribbons.

Fleet of foot, clever, known to be a trickster and communicator. He even influences the chemical symbol of mercury. Hg, derived from the Latin name for the element, hydrargyrum–literally, liquid silver.

“The Talaria of Mercury (Latin: tālāria or The Winged Sandals of Hermes Ancient Greek: πτηνοπέδῑλος, ptēnopédilos or πτερόεντα πέδιλα, pteróenta pédila) are winged sandals, a symbol of the Greek messenger god Hermes (Roman equivalent Mercury). They were said to be made by the god Hephaestus of imperishable gold and they flew the god as swift as any bird.” excerpt Wikipedia

Again, the violet bows to the lily.
Again, the rose is tearing off her gown!

The green ones have come from the other world,
tipsy like the breeze up to some new foolishness.

Again, near the top of the mountain
the anemone’s sweet features appear.

The hyacinth speaks formally to the jasmine,
“Peace be with you.” “And peace to you, lad!
Come walk with me in this meadow.”

Again, there are sufis everywhere!

The bud is shy, but the wind removes
her veil suddenly, “My friend!”

The Friend is here like water in the stream,
like a lotus on the water.

The narcissus winks at the wisteria,
“Whenever you say.”

And the clove to the willow, “You are the one
I hope for.” The willow replies, “Consider
these chambers of mine yours. Welcome!”

The apple, “Orange, why the frown?”
“So that those who mean harm
will not see my beauty.”

The ringdove comes asking, “Where,
where is the Friend?”

With one note the nightingale
indicates the rose.

Again, the season of Spring has come
and a spring-source rises under everything,
a moon sliding from the shadows.

Many things must be left unsaid, because it’s late,
but whatever conversation we haven’t had
tonight, we’ll have tomorrow.

(translation by Coleman Barks)

We are creating a few days ahead of when energies align per ephemeris on 5/20 when the Moon will meet the Sun. The New Moon in the sky is actually in Taurus on 5/19/2023, but my creative self wants to explore the Planet Mercury…and you know , the Muse will have her way.

New Moon Magic, is a monthly deep dive into emerging energies guided by heavenly archetypal symbols, such as the planets and the stars. We meet on Zoom, each participant creates from the energies that are unique to them as influenced by the month’s theme. Suggested supply list here

Our expressive arts process is informed by Intentional Creativity and Creative Depth work.

One thing I know for sure, it is all Messy. No way around it, more simple, more mess

I have a curious even grasping mind, I want to know and understand many topics. I see them as interrelated elements to a whole. The study of such leads to more messy bits.

Now, oddly enough that Human Design training and study all comes back to haunt.

For instance, I want to do things, well and right…right a long time ago meant, correct…I think social conditioning placed a veil over my thinking mind, I’ve really become stuck in getting things “right”. Doing things “well” , what does that even mean ? I often find that rut within where I get stuck doing it right…or thinking it should be other than it is.

Now, I’ve taken a leap into Web-3 spaces, probably due to the fact that I get bored and the winter nights are long plus I have a vision of something that has tugged at my imagination for years. But, what am I committed to ?

Can you feel the trend here ? I may be about to go into some free flowing swirl writing. If you’ve caught on to my swirl writing , it’s about free flow and connecting the dots of the inner conversation, yet there may not be any seemingly connected dots, therefore you’ve accomplished getting your thoughts out and hopefully feel expressed and perhaps a solution has risen off the pages.

I can take that energy into an altered book, as a page and work it imaginally ( is there such a word ? )

Social Media = Messy Website=Messy Art=Messy

And you can pretty much bet, that if it is Messy, it is also Complicated, which indeed may stem from Chaos.

Chaos, a truly feminine expression can lead to impeccable innovative applications. ie: a chaotic art table full of paints, paper, materials leads to a contained imaginative sketch or collage, etc.

More messy bits, how to market your talents ? That’s a question I ask myself. I really don’t have an answer. For instance: I would like to sell my paintings to collectors, this does happen occasionally but my question is am I doing it right or well ? hmmm, a wise man would say, look at the results. But, I don’t want to do it conventionally, ie, set up a pretty website shop, blah blah blah…I have tried for years and it doesn’t feel right. Which leads to the thoughts of how unique each of us are…or is it how unique each of us is… ? I have an ongoing disagreement with grammar and syntax.

I think also that I have an ongoing debate with all these technical digital tools as well. Now there is Substack, yup, I have that one too…what and how I am going to play over there ?

This may be a many part conversation with my Messy Muse. Recently thru synchronicity, I discovered another aspect Muse, she is the Enchanted Muse. , she seems to know what she is doing in here arena over in the Web3 landscape, more to follow on her …

As we evolve together, our unique energy signatures expand their depth and awareness. Approaching the creative path as a Sacred Journey enhances the transformational process, whether from wounded to healed, from broken to whole, from curious to knowing into the treasure within. 

 Creative Journey allows for expansive possibilities within your StoryField.

 How do you discover hidden stories ?

Spring of 2023 marks a new beginning, a fresh threshold to cross over within the framework of wonder and mystery.  I invite you on a monthly journey in the darkened fields of the New Moon Becoming

Under the guidance Star Fields as well as the Sign of the Moon…. guided by totems and oracles, ancient wisdom with a contemporary touch we shall make creative pages of our unique vision and story

Increase your capacities of resilience for these times thru your inner journey creative workflow.

Class dates will flow to the Moon’s Cycle, while a wee bit inconvenient for our linear schedules, following her rhythm supports our attuning to natural cycles. 

The mythic nature of star lore continues to capture my imagination, sometimes new AI technology does too! And this pondering of stars, Pisces, fish and our cultural spin is taking an interesting turn as I am swirl writing again.

On the 18th our Sun entered Pisces, some say that at 0 degrees Pisces marks the beginning now of the Aquarian age. We certainly are in motion of moving times and events. Days so full of creative options and stimulation that is may be challenging to center into the “Now”.

It seems that embracing acceptance of the moment anchors a core presence. Each inhale inviting a space in between the known and unknown, exhale to find yourself in the next Now moment.

“We breathe in and out about 22,000 times a day. We are powered by breathing. Our lungs fuel us with oxygen, our body’s life-sustaining gas. Our lungs breathe in air, then remove the oxygen and pass it through our bloodstream, where it’s carried off to the tissues and organs that allow us to walk, talk, and move. ” https://www.lung.ca

As we have entered the sign of Pisces, naturally a question arises, How do fish breath ? https://www.livescience.com/how-do-fish-breathe Yes, they have gils, hmmm, how does a mermaid breathe ?

Lungs are said to be the organ of grief, lungs massage the heart, these organs have quite a relationship of give and take, Gemini rules the Lungs, Leo the Heart and Pisces the Feet. The medicine way says that we heal thru our feet…imagine that your feet have a soulful (soleful) relationship with your heart and breath, how present are you in your feet ?

When your mermaid self transforms to walk on land She must become present in her feet, more purposeful and connected to terra firma, her gils more than likely undergo a metamorphoses for land breathing… How is your land breath ?

Join me on Monday for a bit of Swirl Writing in our Creative Pages, taking the form of journal, altared book or Cosmic SmashBook, Visually explore how your are landing in and on your feet….or taking to the waters with a mermaids tail…

Writing a blog is not so easy.

What more is there to say in this world of non stop information ? I wonder as I free write this morning.

Well, as ever, there is always more to express.

This week my community felt the sorrow of mass shooting. It was more close to home than was comfortable as tho any violence anywhere is comfortable.

Our tears are flowing. The city and campus grieving. Praying from a state of shock and prayer that my area would be spared, as the city just didn’t know the next unfolding eruption of violence. Sheltering in place, lights out, I reached out to long distance friends for support, am so thankful that it was there. Then the arc of concern grew as the news revealed the sorrows that families will bear for those who were harmed, killed & injured in the physical statement of ones life ending. For those in close proximity to the event, they will be dealing with reverberating fears for some time to come, perhaps forever.

Take your sorrows, sighs and hope to the Creative Page

How do we live thru changing times, within this compression of experiences in this mystery of expansion & becoming ?

Can we weave hope into our communities thru the sorrows of the mental illness & trauma that grips our psyches and cities ?Becoming into wholeness takes intentional focus, self care and patience.

Ponder resilience.

re·sil·ience

/rəˈzilēəns/

noun

1. 1.the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.”the remarkable resilience of so many institutions”
2. 2.the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity.

Then we take to the page, either written or visual, perhaps it is to music making, we take our feelings to Creative Expressions to transform, to express, to work it out, to land into a new sense of being and Self. A place to connect with our Soul.

Next New Moon Magic Creative Circle, Monday 2:00 pm EST

We gather monthly in the dark creation fields of lunar essence to create on the page, together, expressing our unique approach to emerging symbolic topics of the time.

Fascinating ancient word…Alchemy...

With a sense of playfulness, I am approaching this New Year in a new way, I am practicing more ” present ” time mindfulness, being super mindful of being in the Now.

This isn’t easy, I’d rather daydream, there is little time for that unless I am fully in it, which would be in the Now in a daydream, Day Dreaming being useful practice as is Multitasking, but being in the Now as a Day Dreaming Multitasker can be confusing.

What gets accomplished if the Now of my Now intention is to reach a creative goal while I am DayDreaming ? Is it possible ? I call these paragraphs, swirl writing, as I am thinking of how to express the Alchemy of my day, leaning into the Mystery of going with the Flow in the Now.

Today I noticed the Alchemy of my intentions as I was flowing from one Now moment to the next, even allowing for intentional Day Dreaming and Goal achievement, by the end of the day I did complete one intentional task while multi-tasks continue to float about me like the Sorcerer’s Apprentices brooms…

There may be more to say, but maybe not, as Alchemy transformed my day with new connections, fresh perspective, the courage to dismantle some roadblocks (aka limiting beliefs ) providing energy to complete long term creative goals.

Being a Creative goes hand in hand with Curation.

Being creative in Analog and Digital is a unique bridge that I have chosen to cross, I am thrilled that the Dream Conduit Community is leading education in this area for participating in Web3. I am an edge dwelling baby boomer, stepping into the crowning rays of wisdom years. In my youth, Technology was shared by the Jetsons & Star Trek, suggested realty was that Dick Tracy was the only one with a wrist phone, my imagined visions of the possible as expressed artful projects lived in my imagination, now technology has advance so much that I can created even beyond those youthful imagined virtual landscapes from my DayDreams.

Benefits of Conscious Creativity, supports being here now…and when you take it to the page, you can smash & transform to create anew as you take your inquiry into the Creative, with images, crayon and paint, self awareness is supported as well as mental health and visionary insights.

If you would like to smash with me, please join in on

Art of Transformation, Alchemy.

noun

noun: alchemy

1. the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned particularly with attempts to convert base metals into gold or to find a universal elixir.”occult sciences, such as alchemy and astrology”Similar:chemistrymagicsorcerywitchcraftenchantment
   • a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination.”finding the person who’s right for you requires a very subtle alchemy”

Origin

late Middle English: via Old French and medieval Latin from Arabic al-kīmiyā’, from al ‘the’ + kīmiyā’ (from Greek khēmia, khēmeia ‘art of transmuting metals’).

There is a trend to discover and announce your word (s) for the year, my first choice was Treasure…then Groov’n popped up… I’m claiming to live more intentionally with these words in 2023…Treasure…. a treasure, treasured people, places, memories, experiences and Groov’n, a little more wordplay and I will arrive at a Groov’n Treasure Trove !

Curiousity of new worlds and emerging media pathways led me to inquire and learn about the Blockchain…. first stop after the first year of Covid stay-at- home time was Clubhouse. Hours of listening to hallway conversations eventually led to The Dream Conduit. I’ve been hanging out with the Dreamers ever since I heard voices that resonated. Read more here… As my story flows I ended up participating their Art-a-Thon last Summer, my piece was accepted as a part of a juried group, and voila, my contribution NFT was minted and collected !

In October I put my hat in the ring for the learning experience of creating a unique generative profile image with a group of fellow artist, each of us created from our unique point of view resulting 500 unique images per artist…quite the process in deconstructive to reconstructive imagination within my art making. Come join in the fun, meet the contributing artists in the Clubhouse room this month as the project launches.

Each Thursday in January, 9:00 pm Eastern, on Clubhouse The Curation Conduit with Lianna Adams

Create your New Moon treasure with me as the New Year continues to shine its light !

New Moon Magic Cosmic SmashBook™ Oracle Saturday, January 21st 2:00 pm EST

treasure (n.)

mid-12c., tresor, from Old French tresor “treasury, hoard, treasure” (11c., Modern French trésor), from Gallo-Roman *tresaurus, from Latin thesaurus “treasury, treasure” (source also of Spanish, Italian tesoro), from Greek thēsauros “store, treasure, treasure house,” related to tithenai “to put, to place,” from reduplicated form of PIE root *dhe- “to set, put.” In Middle English also thresur, etc.; modern spelling is from 16c. Replaced Old English goldhord, maðm. General sense of “anything valued” is recorded from c. 1200. Treasure hunt is first recorded 1913. For treasure trove, see trove.

treasure (v.)

late 14c., “to amass treasure; to store up for the future,” also figurative, “regard as precious, retain carefully in the mind,” from treasure (n.). Related: Treasured; treasuring.

Naturally leading to Treasure Trove !

trove (n.)

1888, from treasure trove (c. 1550), from Anglo-French tresor trové (late 12c.), translating Latin thesaurus inventus, literally “treasure found.” Originally any precious metal object one finds hidden whose owner is unknown. As this usually meant ancient hoards, the term came to mean “treasure hoard” in popular use. Rendered treasure found from mid-15c. French trove is past participle of trover “to find,” from Old French trover, torver, of unknown origin, perhaps from Latin turbare “to move” (hence “to seek for”) or Medieval Latin *tropare “to compose, sing.”

Funny how a word will pop in ! First, Groov’n then Groovy…truly throwback words.. naturally the music of the The Young Rascals…easy and smooth…

“Groovin’ “

Groovin’ on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn’t get away too soon
I can’t imagine anything that’s better
The world is ours whenever we’re together
There ain’t a place I’d like to be instead of

Movin’ down a crowded avenue
Doin’ anything we like to do
There’s always lots of things that we can see
You can be anyone we like to be
All those happy people we could meet

Just groovin’ on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn’t get away too soon
No, no, no, no

We’ll keep on spending sunny days this way
We’re gonna talk and laugh our time away
I feel it coming closer day by day
Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly

Groovin’ on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn’t get away too soon
No, no, no, no
Groovin’, uh huh…
Groovin’

The Web3 world has its unique vocabulary, I recommend Googling a phrase/word whenever these new words show up which will usually yield a description and usage explanation.

Sometimes, dreams do come true. My sense of things now, is that with grit & brawn combined with steady hard effort, good friends, seen and unseen angels and community, Dream~Seeds burrow deeply into the earth, so that when your prayers touch the hull cracking that seed your dream potential will become deeply deeply ever so deeply rooted into the possible.

I’ve dreamt of a different tomorrow for quite some time, in my world that meant a different landscape of presence , a landscape would offer me something unknown, unseen yet familiar. I’ve landed in central Michigan, embraced by the Great Lakes awaiting a chilly winter in a landscape that thrills my being.

So far the weather is balmy, sometimes rainy with a bite. The scent of moisture wafting thru the leaf shed is incredible. The autumn colors outstanding in their brilliance. Pumpkin patches, corn fields, and forests greet me. Also, dark nights, getting lost and crossing thresholds of initiation abound.

It’s taken a bit of time to get into the computer groove again, yet here I am…and tomorrow we are gathering to create during our New Moon Magic creative circle, you are invited to join …click here

Tides of change continue moving thru our lives, whether in our deep internal landscapes, our physical home environments AND our communities. Right now the whorls of change are tapping every known structure that we can name or identify. Perhaps it has always been this way if we were to see the Universe from galaxies away.

Our interstellar address resides deep in the heart of the Laniakea Supercluster. The times call for more active imagination than ever before, with each of us creating our unique renaissance moments.

My personal journey is creating a story arc of relocation from the high desert mountains of Santa Fe to the forested lands of the Great Lakes. An adventure in changing landscapes!

How is your story arc informing your life ? Does your creativity inform your story or visa versa ? Perhaps it is all in the weave of what rises up from our inner~scapes. Images within and without form reality in some alchemical way….I have sense that we are more involved than we realize in our manifestation outcomes…perhaps our creative voice calls in more than images on the page? From decorating our homes to shopping for recipe ingredients we call in what wasn’t there before.

As the boxes fill, full of crayons, paints and paper, I realize how blessed I am to have an active creative practice and materials. Now comes a new challenge of creating with minimal materials for a wee bit of time. One of the benefits of Cosmic SmashBooking™ and JourneyCircles™ is the contained use of space.

Even more, I am blessed with the privilege of leading online Zoom groups in Come to the Story™ blended creative practice. Where my developed skills in Creative Depth get to weave with art making, intentional creativity and collage.

As a group we have explored our lives unfolding in the creative flow of consciously reclaiming and re-storying ancient myths and patterns of conditioned patriarchal fields. Creative interplay supports the Re~claiming of hidden or simply quiet aspects of our voices, our stories , hopes and dreams. Intentionally setting out to chart new territory. The Constellations of the Zodiac have been our guide. Libra, full of hidden clues guides our way this month as we take to the page !

This October will be full of seasonal glory, leaves will change, pumpkins will be carved…I am taking the time to move, but first, on Saturday, September 24th, New Moon Magic~Libra, your are invited to join our Creativity Circle at 10:00 am MST for a bit of guided Cosmic SmashBooking™ .

Who is the goddess of Sirius?

“Sopdet is the ancient Egyptian name of the star Sirius and its personification as an Egyptian goddess. Known to the Greeks as Sothis, she was conflated with Isis as a goddess and Anubis as a god.”

Featured snippets from the web

Isis Sirius

The ancient Egyptians had a very special relationship with the star Sirius. Sirius (Sopdet) was the heavenly representation of Isis, who in the Egyptian pantheon was the daughter of Re and the sister and wife of the god Osiris. Osiris in turn was associated principally with the stars of Orion’s belt.

Sirius: The brightest star in Earth’s night sky

By Elizabeth Howell , Ailsa Harvey published January 27, 2022

Excerpt from article https://www.space.com/21702-sirius-brightest-star.html

” The star is present in ancient astronomical records of the Greeks, Polynesians and several other cultures. The Egyptians even went so far as to base their calendar on when Sirius was first visible in the eastern sky, shortly before sunrise. According to Joe Rao of Space.com, the Egyptians called Sirius the “Nile Star,” because it always returned just before the river rose and so announced the coming of the floodwaters that would nourish their lands.”

Ancient Lion Goddess, Sekmet

Sekhmet, also spelled Sakhmet, in Egyptian religion, a goddess of war and the destroyer of the enemies of the sun god Ra. Sekhmet was associated both with disease and with healing and medicine.

Our creativity circle of New Moon Magic Cosmic Smashbook™ Oracle in blended practice with Creative Depth Process and Intentional Creativity will continue to explore the emergent Divine Feminine and re-imagining of the patriarchy thru the lens of creative process, conversation and transformative vision.

Today’s New Moon in Cancer brings forward inquiry of self care and tender nourishment.

How do you nourish your Being whilst these times of turbulence ?

How do you stand in your Being while winds blow strong ?

Standing in tears and disappoint, how do you bring Joy and Hope back into your heart ?

And, if indeed you have found your center of sweet softness held in centered compassion, how can you hold the vision of hope for others ?

These are questions asked in New Moon Magic, where we gather for a deeper dive into emerging inquiries, to create intuitively and spontaneously in our Cosmic Smashbooks™, read more here

I’ve been binge watching Grey’s Anatomy, Painting, Smashbooking & Rediscovering Poetry.

 “I Arise from Dreams of Thee“

I arise from dreams of thee
In the first sweet sleep of night,
When the winds are breathing low,
And the stars are shining bright
I arise from dreams of thee,
And a spirit in my feet
Has led me – who knows how? –
To thy chamber-window, sweet!

The wandering airs they faint
On the dark, the silent stream, –
The champak odors fall
Like sweet thoughts in a dream,
The nightingale’s complaint,
It dies upon her heart,
As I must die on thine,
O, beloved as thou art!

O, lift me from the grass!
I die, I faint, I fall!
Let thy love in kisses rain
On my lips and eyelids pale,
My cheek is cold and white, alas!
My Heart beats loud and fast
Oh! press it close to thine again,
Where it will break at last!

 I Arise from Dreams of Thee by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Pleiades, in Greek mythology, the seven daughters of the Titan Atlas and the Oceanid Pleione: Maia, Electra, Taygete, Celaeno, Alcyone, Sterope, and Merope. They all had children by gods (except Merope, who married Sisyphus).

The Pleiades eventually formed a constellation. One myth recounts that they all killed themselves out of grief over the death of their sisters, the Hyades. Another explains that after seven years of being pursued by Orion, a Boeotian giant, they were turned into stars by Zeus. Orion became a constellation, too, and continued to pursue the sisters across the sky. The faintest star of the Pleiades was thought to be either Merope, who was ashamed of loving a mortal, or Electra, grieving for Troy, the city of Dardanus, her son with Zeus.

tran·quil·i·ty/ˌtraNGˈkwilədē/noun

1. the quality or state of being tranquil; calm.
2. “passing cars are the only noise that disturbs the tranquility of rural life”

I began this blog post on January 4th…thinking that Tranquility would be the theme of the month ~ little did I know that pace of living would quicken and the themes I was seeking, those of peace and contemplation, wouldn’t be met without a struggle.

In the Human Design Cosmology, the I Ching Hexagram 41 marks the beginning of the Rave New Year on January 22, 2022. I have been living this timing for awhile and have personally have validated the nuances for me. I quote the following that described the activity from January 1- 21st.

“These days can be difficult as we close out this past year and we deal with themes of obstruction, opposition, a drive for material success, mental pressure to find inner truth, wanting facts and a physical pressure for something new to happen only to be met by limitation.” quoted from Mary Ann Winiger.

Now we begin…to step one foot at a time into the wonderment of response or not into that of becoming, touching into the mystery of the gifts of these times.

As I chose the imagery for this winter’s StoryMoon a five week intentional creativity/cosmic smash book journey with The Crescent Moon Bear, I chose the soft color of pink to represent the tone, which so matched my mood in December. Now the Bear has become a new color, that of a vibrant red-orange…this color has been energizing and strengthening warming these cold days.

Now, Human Design is filled with Codes as is the I Ching, Gene Keys and the Mysteries…we each embrace the discovery our unique inner codes to awaken into a more deeply felt inner life or not. Art making allowing for inner space and time to integrate Story Codes…to discover them and work them out.

Today I am mapping out details of Saturday’s becoming more and more excited with each click on the keyboard.

This is an open enrollment course as is Devotion, so read the links to see what feels right for you, if you would like to join in you are more than welcome.

Creatively, we shall be making pages in our Cosmic SmashBook ™ engaging the folktale as a mapping legend into the mountainous landscape of our inner selves to tame the wild bear and perhaps meet some allies along the way. Paper Clay will be used, as well as transfer creation…also, we shall be painting from Smash to Canvas..in a very steady easy classic Color of Woman style of Intentional Creativity.

And to expand on the theme of Tranquility…my seeking of such…Devotion got off to a sweet start, also an open enrollment visit the Devotion page, is it any wonder that this month’s image also has dynamic coloring !

Thank you to each of you who attend Come to the Story Creative Circles making this work in the world a wonderful success with your presence, wisdom and amazing art work !

Happy Rave New Year! 2022 ( I really like this number !)

The Winter Solstice gates have opened, as the Full Moon is waning , She moves over my skylight in easy motion, when I awake at about 5:00 am, Her light beams into my house as She slowly slips to the horizon line. Yesterday’s Winter Solstice brought a calm to my thinking and jazzed up my creative vision.

I am troubled and disquieted with the energies of change, grief, polarization, etc…I cannot pretend otherwise, Spiritually, I am tested.

My meditation with my Madonna’s has become a very regular practice which brings inner solace to my heart, I wish to bring this feeling of Peace to my art groups, so, I have created a Winter Course called Devotion.

A circle for us to gather together with the frequencies of Devotion. We begin this Sunday, December 26th, 2:00 pm MST sign up here. I realize that this is short notice, but living in the Now has a way of adding spontaneous events !

This course will expand and continue into January, February, March. Full Series of 4 sign up here

For artistic reference, we will be visually dipping into the Virgins of the Andes ~ read more .

Over time I have been able to gather books of the School of Cusco. (The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, also known as the Conquest of Mexico or the Spanish-Aztec War (1519–21),^[7] was one of the primary events in the Spanish colonization of the Americas. ( wikipedia)

This photo is from the Peyton Wright Gallery in Santa Fe ~ this is the gallery where I first discovered the School of Cusco, Christmas 2011 an abundance of Madonna’s ~ Virgins, Angels and Saints… everywhere. I was mesmerized by the mystery of all this imagery.

Excerpt from The Virgin of the Andes:

CHAPTER Thirteen VIRGIN OF THE ANDES: INKA QUEEN AND CHRISTIAN GODDESS by Carol Damian

In1532, the Spanish Conquistador Francisco Pizarro and his army of 62 horsemen and 102 foot soldiers conquered the Inka empire called Tawantinsuyu, the “Center of the Four Quarters,” with its cap-ital at Cuzco, Peru. The Spanish Conquest ended more than one hundred years of Inka domination over the indigenous Andean pop-ulation.

The Inka dynasty began, according to Inka legend, with eight brothers and sisters. After achieving the dominant position of leadership and to guarantee the purity of the ruling family, the Inka Manco Ccapac, who called himself the son of the Sun God, Inti, married his sister Mama Ocllo. Inti instructed Manco Ccapac and Mama Ocllo to teach the people of the earth to worship the Sun and the Moon (Quilla) and thus prosper. Mama Ocllo, the Coya (orqueen), was the woman most venerated among the Indians. She was a goddess, the descendant of the Moon. She was the queen, the wife/sister of the Inka king. They ruled in parallel duality.

The Coya wore and displayed her particular attributes and insignia, as did the Inka, and was associated with the symbols of her role (Fig. 3.1).Among these were weaving implements, feathers, birds, flowers, tipipins, and other ornaments.

When the Spaniards conquered the Inka Empire, the reverence to the Inka Coya would persist in Christian images of the Virgin Mary, the Catholic Queen (Fig. 3.2).For centuries, people throughout the world have revered the Virgin Mary.

But nowhere is she more beautiful and more mysterious than in Cuzco, Peru, where she is portrayed as a distinctive image that fuses Christian and Andean concepts. Around this image, the indigenous artists of Cuzco created a school of painting, the first in these so-called New World and known as the Cuzco School, where they could portray her in multiple ways, with many titles and identifying attributes, few of which are Spanish in inspiration. By the seventeenth century, these artists earned commercial fame for their paintings and their devotion to the Virgin Mary endures to this day.

There can be no mistaking that in our global and personal cultures we really are in the midst of a great change. Having my MoonBeam tea this morning, contemplating last night’s spectacular sky, tho chilly I stood in wonderment underneath the crescent moon’s glow stunned by the brilliant light of planets of dancing around her.

I do enjoy Christmas…each and every year that I can recall, the December Earth energies of this time of year thrill me. That we string lights and celebrate our beliefs adds to Earth’s splendor, the cold air, crisp nights, tree lights beaming in thru the neighborhood windows. When I moved to Santa Fe, I was so surprised that the city was fully decorated by the day after Thanksgiving…that was 36 years ago and since then I have followed the same tradition, although I do take my time. The Plaza trees are fully wrapped in lights, the luminarias are going up…I have my sand pile and candles ready to make my own. ( A luminaria or farolito is a small paper lantern which is of significance in the southwestern United States at Christmas time, especially on Christmas Eve.)

There are so many moments filled with memories of family and friends who have moved on from this world, Christmas is tender and special with friends still here and filled with hope of calling in healing and wholeness. The possibility of mending differences lies in the energies of these days.

Not a day goes by now that isn’t shadowed with deep and active change. Which is why I work with art. Art making stabilizes my Being supporting an expansion into timelessness, I can skim surfaces or dive deep into process, or just play and be silly, laugh or cry.

Since Covid came, my world has migrated even more to online interactions. Not is a zillion years did I ever think that I would be hosting online Creative Circles. Another memory flashback to my childhood when the neighborhood women would gather in their embroidery circles…with thread and needles they would teach me the art of threading and design.

” It is said, that an invisible red thread connects

those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance.

The thread may stretch or tangle but it will never be broken”

                                                                       Ancient Chinese Proverb

Faced with immense changes and shifts in her orientation, She persevered. Whew…what a way to begin every day these past 16 years let alone the more intense collective shift that we are all experiencing these past two.

Since the last new moon when I was story walking with Baba Yaga, I took action an a committed goal, that of “going thru” what I will call “my archives” , you know , those boxes of hidden papers, closets and files and stuff that you are going to someday organize, or reorganize…. Well, I did it. It was intense in a new way. A different kind of review…who was near and dear, all those cards and letters refreshing the memories of many loved ones who didn’t live to see these more stressful pressured times.

And, I went thru all my education files…organized them, blessed them, filed and threw away…acknowledging what a journey this phase of life has been as I prepare for the next phase. Having an independent spirit is no easy thing. Being a visionary and mystic child isn’t easy either, oftentimes behind the wave …or way ahead of the curve seeking middle ground and harmony. It’s been a challenge…oh yes, and then there is the Rebel aspect of the Muse Gone Rogue…where, I am going to do life my way…still learning that one…

Which leads me exploring an explanation of a feeling I have and have had for a very very long time…against all the odds of everything that is so wonky , now, in our NOW, I really heartfully feel that we can have this shift that we are working towards, or living into….and I really do heartfully experience that active creativity supports us in our personal flow of change , integrating the new and old….creating the yet unseen, bringing the unseen into form and messages that are deep within to the forefront.

And this is why I work with my clients one on one and in group, plus with myself to create Temple Space so that I have a “Room of my Own” beyond what used to be a child’s diary. The contractions of time/space/ and physical spaciousness are mitigated with setting aside creative space. Your StoryTime Smashbook is a container created and filled with heart. This past year we’ve created Moon Wisdom books beginning with the Full Moon, then the Lion’s Gate offered a new portal, the New Moon Magic Smashbook Oracle….and now, for 2022 StoryTime, a Come to the Story Journey Book…where the old will meet the new thru Fairytales, Myths and Stories of Old….we will reframe our stories with alchemical vision and artistic exploration. StoryTime, our first StoryTime begins January 22, 2022 with a 5 week creative exploration of the Crescent Moon Bear, StoryTime purchase includes New Moon Magic…for the New Moon theme will initiate the journey….

As this season shifts in splendid color taking us into our deep winter, the New Moon in Scorpio arrives on November 4th.

Imagine…you are in the forest deep…with a lighted torch lit by Baba Yaga’s Fire…what are you seeking?

Currently the tale of Baba Yaga stirs my imagination, there are a variety of stories associated with this hag, this Cosmic Crone. Sometimes horrid and awful, sometimes beneficent, her wild ways stimulate inventiveness and mystery. Achieving the impossible our compromised innocent, Vasilisa overcomes the witches’ challenges with her magical doll.

With vivid imagery , natural forces of nature, the Dawn, Day and Sunset are personified by magnificent horseman. And what tale would be a tale unless we had the naughty step mother and step sisters taunting their new sister ?

On that note, I invite you to join in a New Moon Magic Creativity Circle, where you are guided thru creative prompts and conversation to create in your art journals or Cosmic Smash Books, the tale as it relates & inspires you.

Do you live with a Visionary ? Would you be able to recognize the Visionary thinkers around you ? Can you trust a Visionary ? What is a Visionary Person ?

Now, what is a Creative Visionary ? These are the questions I am asking myself this morning. As an Active Dreamer, which for me is, a Lucid Vivid Dreamer, I have always, even as a child , dreamt in visions and landscapes. My visions reveal to me, inform me, and sometimes they even become real in the world.

My mom would call into my room,,, get up get up, time to wake up…I would sleepily murmur wait wait, I have to wait, I am seeing something, I have to finish …shhh, go away….

Artistically, some of that visual information finds its way to the sketch book, into poetry or story…maybe onto a canvas.

The marvel of modern times brings to global society the ability to work with 1 and 0 creating computing language which correlates to our DNA language….whew…that is some creative potential ! We now have video games, we have what Dick Tracy always used….the cell phone…apple watches….streaming tv…due to visionary thinking and then implementation, but it had to have belief and implementation to become real into form.

Well, let’s take those Visionary Impulses and place them in our Cosmic Smash Books…to connect in real time thru the senses to explore our unique symbolic language, thru the mediums of writing, crayons, and paper . To bring into the now, into embodiment. Getting a bit out of must do, must have thinking , into the flow of hmmm, I think I will tear this magazine to shreds and reassemble into a dragon, which may lead to building a fort for your sons that looks like a dragon !

Epiphanies occur in relaxed time/space

Now, imagine the constellation of Virgo…she is illuminated in our September skies. Imagine that her stars are portals to feminine imagination ….. symbolically she resides in the Western Zodiac at this time of year. Each New Moon, is in the native place of that month…ie Leo New Moon when the Sun is in Leo, Cancer New Moon when the Sun is in Cancer….then when the Full Moon rises in Leo, that Full Moon is in its opposite sign, that of Aquarius….and in Virgo, the Full Moon will be in Pisces.

Collectively we are in the great change of ages…ok, what do we do with that on a personal level ? A community level ? I don’t know…I am just asking the question…

What if, the New Moons can reveal more information to us as we journey thru these changes ? What if we approach this deep dark that come with this cycle and take it more deeply into our BodyMind ? What if we created a personal culture of inquiry and creative response thru creative practice ?

What if our creative practices influenced our family and neighborhoods , ultimately our larger countries in the most positive of ways, leading to innovation, empowerment & expression, what if we could find our best voices thru the gentle acts of artmaking ?

What if allowing the quiet of the concentrated dark revealed that perhaps darkness is tightly bundled light that will inform and come to illumination and fruition in the light of the Full Moons?

This September, I am choosing to create with the Constellation of Virgo as a portal, as a connection to the Wisdom Goddess Matrix….back to the Lion’s Gate in August…imagine that the doors opened to the Archetypal energy of the Mother Matrix…that of Isis, Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene… and then now….the doors open even wider to bring more connection to the Shekinah & Sophia the Wisdom Goddess ?

What if….as this last quarter of 2021 were the best ever in terms of personal illumination, thru the journey of Shadow to Light…what if every Shadow was a Light ? What if the journey into the New Moons , in October , November, December, were to reveal to you more of your inner landscapes as seeding potentials into the future times ?

She would stumble, trip and fall
that is how she would learn to walk a new path
She would scribble and scrawl

mix her words, make up new grammar,

even learn a little syntax;

one day… she would learn to write, to paint, to soar with the Muse
She would throw paint….finger paint….

scribble again and again;

one day She
would claim her Creative Self

         courageous, outrageous,stubborn

                   She would become
more of herself with each day, with each step, each scuffle,

brushstroke and mark

 

To begin, I extend my prayers to all, wishing ease & grace with the variety & various  wavelengths of circumstances that you may be finding yourself in ~ the list of unfortunate circumstances is long, yet I sense that the list of silver linings is growing too.

I want to introduce your to my friend and fellow Intentional Creativity Teacher, Ellison James.  She and I had a conversation last month and as we were sharing our paths and visions, a new vision emerged. ( that is often the case with creatives !) .  Ellison is joining my website as an contributor with her gifts.  As the next year comes, I hope to have more contributors with their unique points of view and offerings.   My new website is almost ready for launch, but I want to get this announcement out to you today.  

Ellison is a talented and remarkable Wisdom Guide offering us her insight and guidance of the changes for this point on the Wheel.   She is experienced in the Sacred Ways of the Medicine Wheel and is going to lead us in this Season’s Circle of Honoring.

The Event is Free, our gift to you ~

 

 

The Circle access opens at 5:45 pm PST we shall begin at 6:00 PM PST

Last night we lost our National Treasure, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  In her honor, thank you for the gifts that you gave our country, that you gave to each of us.

 

 

These shifts and events are happening so quickly that we hardly have time to pause and integrate.  We may be witnessing our community in any variety of disaster or we are holding steady. Holding steady takes work, responding to an overwhelming shift in circumstances takes work. Whatever side of the situation we find ourselves in, we are together, holding prayers, activating healing, grieving.   Sacred Time is your ally as the hours pass.  I will say that again, Sacred Time is your ally , your supporter, as the hours pass.  

Once again, here is the Zoom link to register: Monday Night

Imagine that each flower in your garden is a potential project…unique yet a part of the flower bed.  As the garden is tended, one area weeded, another area becomes the more  pressing need.

These past several days, my computer became my garden in need of weeding and tending.  In order to more effectively create my blog post, the new website & course materials,  organization was called for, that and back up systems too !

As with large garden beds, the email account, hiding under some shade, needed clearing out as well.  I discovered that I had been unaware in a pin pointed way of seeing just how many emails the marketing machine generates.  It is unbelievable.

Now I know why I have so many, I just ignore them; thinking, oh, I’ll get back here, but I don’t and then three or four years pass leaving 20000 ( yes ) in my email account.  I have my favorite saves and favorite blogs.  I love a library,  from hardbound books, to kindle to even emails.  Saturday was spent reminiscing over a variety of emails.  I have a romantic soul….oh no…to delete or archive…but you need space….etc etc.

Do some of you remember when we had pen pals ?  Long before home computers, we had mail.  My delight with mail was collecting foreign stamps and pen pals from far away places…   over the summer vacation, friends who had gone off to Europe would send postcards…or even call !  Oh my , so exciting to get an overseas call, so romantic !

Well, the weekend experience led me to thinking about this 31 Day Blog challenge…it is a lot of mail.   Although I am not leaving the challenge , I am relaxing the delivery….the idea of the challenge is to get attention, that attention is to have you read my blog  and then in the current of the times…eventually I would invite you to a class or one of my Zoom calls. some free offerings some paid events.

I have spent the last few months re-inventing my lifestyle. Now that I work and live at home full time. I signed up with a Kajabi site and just had the best support call ever in creating the landing pages and getting them onto Facebook and in other places.

I belong to a terrific Art Community that has several handles….Cosmic Cowgirls ~ as created my Shiloh Sophia McCloud.  I have belonged for a…hmmm ( everything now is a really long time ) In any case, the pace of time and art  has moved along.  We have a wonderful community called The Red Thread Cafe ( Classroom ) we meet up on  Facebook to share our art and stories as we engage with Intentional Creativity.

( read about the Legend of the Red Thread here )

We also have a Red Thread Tribe , I will be leading the circle on July 23rd more details to come, and if you sign up for my newsletter you will get an announcement direct to your inbox.

Hence my work on my website and pages to get all these announcements together so that we can create and play in all areas of the garden of creativity !

More to follow in the days to come ~ I wish you ease as you begin your week, good health and to some , blessed recovery.   Step by step, that is how we will build our new future.   

Under “stay at home ” , I am at home.  As we know,  there are many many details that make a home.   Now many of us have home offices; our family members now have work/schools spaces ; creatives also make their art spaces sometimes carving space out of no where .  We call these spaces our Studio (someday I will have a 1000 sq foot studio maybe even more ! )  With some surprise arranging,   I re-imagined my workroom and created several  art making surfaces.  I ordered a firm table ,currently I use card tables,  the table should arrive next week , then I can film some demos for the blog.

I have two cats, Cookie and Gigi; well, Cookie found my cleared space just perfect for her lounging !  There is an invisible vortex phenomena.  The space is clear, all is in order and in a blink of an eye, there is chaos..

Yesterday, the morning revealed a spark of inspiration, happily I got to my work table;photographed images and went to the computer to document my collage.

Which led me to a spiral experience, first I had to unwind the files….clear out to make space on the computer…I tripped into ancestry files, cleared and organized those, then on to the image files to back up the system this weekend.  Before you know it, Gmail sent me a notice that my storage was full and please clear those files.

I was working in circles.  I have noticed that if I don’t fight it , I find a flow .  I didn’t get the collage made, but it might get done during this post.  If I relax from working in a straight line, allowing myself to move from what is arising, then circle back , holding the vision, while surrendering to response in the now, I do get somewhere, even tho there are linear mini steps along the way.   This is like scribble art,   allowing the pencil to move direction with a non destination destination.  You know it when you get there.  You step into the unknown , something magical happens. Quantum Alchemy , where you have created space to express; to achieve, to just be and then you just know what you may not have known before. You have entered the Pause, the Wave, the Flow.

I work in several collage styles to work with Expressive Arts, one of them is with Journey Circles™, another is in a Cosmic Smashbooking.  I keep many many visual journals, processing my dreams and feelings thru visual expression.

Working with image is a uniquely individual experience, we can create our own fresh, or use magazine or digital images. I keep a good printer to replicate images for collage, as magazines aren’t always accessible.

Creating anytime can be nourishing. Creating thru Covid Time, may be a way to keep record of the experience. 

The simple fact is that the world energies are immensely challenging.

The messages of the days are not always upbeat and cheery, that just isn’t real.

 

There is a continuum of expression within our Being.

My vocation is that of Depth Work.

Thru excavating  depths within, I find my Light and Radiance. Deep Diving.

Active participation with the mysterious Wheels of Life.

There is a popular notion that we are to become Embodied …what does that even mean ? Embodied into what ?  Release the Light within ?  Claim the Divine ?

This is where Art and Image come to Dance with Wisdom Codes.

Wisdom Codes around the Wheel of Life  unlock contemplative inner quests of Magic and Mystery.

Now , if I had all my IT  ( internet technologies ) together, I would link like mad to other resources.  This current website process is an Emergent One.  Just like our environment, our current world circumstances, they are Emergent, Quantum….Mysterious.   As the step is taken the stair appears.

We become Story Catchers.

We become Creative Cartographers with a Legacy.

                                                                                 This Summer, my world will become , as will yours.

As we move into questioning and contemplating these notions  by embracing playfulness , a spark of embodied consciousness might reveal itself, I think this is called, Self Awareness.  Our evolution of Self and Other.

Some mornings I awaken with certain poetic memories floating thru my mind.  This one came the other morning.  I truly longed to hear it.  Today, I share it with you. It is at the end of the post.

I listened to this; became very sad.   Grief comes and goes.  Important to acknowledge one’s tears and pain within the HeartSelf.  I will go paint my tender grief today, and it will become expressed.  Expressive Art making supports moving energy thru and out of the body, embracing the flow of the moment to arrive to an expressed balance place.

And if that stirred me then this poetic video that is at the beginning of my postcame forth, and I really began to cry.  I am reminded of all those whom I have loved and continue to adore.  Tender , tender tender memories.  So, I will mark make on my canvas with my tear water, and paint my prayers into the canvas.  Prayers and memories.  Joys and wounds will make their way into a work called “Artifact”

This is the poem which tugged at me this morning….what is tugging your Imagination ?  Your Heart ?

Creativity isn’t a step by step process.  It is emergent, messy, touching….inspiring.

Creativity Spirals, like Feminine Time.  Deep Spirals , calling forth more for the journey within and without.

   Stardust Blessing,

 

I enjoy tracking my inspirations and signs from the natural world. For instance, I am kaleidoscope inspired , especially attracted to the vibrant purple in yesterday’s image…this led to organizing my watercolor paints to find which purples that I have on hand.

Today tho, the color search led to fruit…blueberries, strawberries and raspberries.  When blended together with Bing Cherry yogurt, they make a very colorful delicious smoothie.

Handful of frozen wild main blueberries

Handful of mixed frozen strawberries & raspberries

One small banana

Blend til smooth & enjoy !

 

My visual theme for July is Kaleidoscope.  Do you recall having one as a child ?

Mesmerizing and magical, the kaleidoscope provides visual surprises, perhaps inspiring Mandala making with vibrant paints or paper play.

“Coined by its Scottish inventor David Brewster, “kaleidoscope” is derived from the Ancient Greek word καλός (kalos), “beautiful, beauty”, εἶδος (eidos), “that which is seen: form, shape” and σκοπέω (skopeō), “to look to, to examine”, hence “observation of beautiful forms.” (Source Wikipedia )”

Today’s post, short and visually vibrant…..Sunday is my day to ponder and fuss, not to think so much.  The winds have picked up with a surprising strong breeze, a good afternoon rain will come…perhaps I will be fussing with my water color paints to find the purple that is in this image below ;  or I may print this image and create a collage …. What creative endeavor will you be inspired to express today ?

Prayers for our Country this 4th of July 2020.

 

The Wisdom Goddess Sophia  resides deep within the Archetypal Heart of our History, as She came before the before.

The Thunder, Perfect Mind ^[1]

An excerpt above from the poem , Thunder Perfect Mind ( written before the before ) from the Gnostic manuscripts of the Nag Hammadi  discovered  in  1945 near the Upper Egyptian town of Nag Hammadi … The buried manuscripts date from the 3rd and 4th centuries.

The Wisdom Goddess is speaking to me today on raindrop waves that have left the sweet scent of water to earth & trees that only rains can activate.   This special time , this Covid Time,  has touched us all with Change.

Within this initiation  which we are individually experiencing collectively, our world is shifting in front of our eyes…not from behind closed doors.  From home life to  work life, from village to city, from county to state to country the great change has arrived and will be here for some time.      Tomorrow the 4th of July will find us reflecting and celebrating, or not, in many different ways.   My heartfelt condolences goes out to those who have lost loved ones and those who are suffering, as this is also a time of deep grieving.

I am entering into a phase of sharing more of my work in the world. For many years I have been collecting , researching, training,  learning & now integrating Knowledge with Wisdom, plus I have been cultivating an active Creative Practice.  This takes work !

With our extended “Nesting in Place”  surrounded by my books and papers. I am learning the back office  of Zoom while creating my teaching site on the Kajabi platform, I am taking my own dare to devotion more seriously.

Having rediscovered my extensive library of Human Design Courses . Once I get my calendar set, I will begin with a free class of Living Your Design .  This complementary series will be : Introduction to Bodygraph Basics, the Centers & Types.

The Gene Keys Golden Path integrates with Human Design; both systems illuminating  the path of self knowledge to Wisdom. The Divine Feminine; Stargate Alchemist  lives within these teachings.

Thru various creative processes we shall travel the fractal lines of archetypal mystery  to reveal to ourselves treasures that lie within.

We will begin however, with a bit of conversation over a cup of tea.

The Thunder, Perfect Mind ^[1]

Welcome July !

I have joined the Paul Taubman’s Ulimate Blog Challenge for the month of July.  I shall strive to post each day, although , I was sidetracked yesterday with all the construction noise in my neighborhood.  Despite Covid 19, a new development is underway up the hill from my place and backhoe’s were busy opening up waterlines close to my backyard the thrum of the machinery shook the the area for hours, then the boom of night time firecrakers topped off the evening.  Today is more relaxing with just the hum of road traffic and the occasional birds chirping. The clouds are moving across the Mesas , I do hope that they bring rain.

Actually, I chose my theme for the month over this past weekend, I will reveal it in a day or two.  Today I will write post two blogs to catch up into the blog challenge ~ and offer you inqueries for your journaling practice and contemplation,  we shall begin with the word, Devotion , it resonates with the 29th Gene Key , which holds the Gift of Commitment and in its highest expression emanates Devotion.  Of course there is that Shadow piece, HalfHeartedness; as the pendulum swings from Shadow to Light, remember, every Shadow holds a Gift.

Inquiries: How do I transform my Half-Heartedness into Commitment ?   How do I experience Devotion ? What am I Devoted to ?

My initial inquiry into Devotion reveals that I am steadily drawn into the realms of History and Mystery which then takes me down many rabbit holes of exploration.  Covid Time has redefined how I spend my days, as I am sure it has affected so many of us in reorienting our time and focus.

 

What is Creative Cartography™?

As story arises as if out of the ethers, so does your creative expression resulting in your Creative Cartography™ practice.

During this renaissance of transformational times, we are becoming more collectively aware of the story within our genetic codes, our Bones Stories, thru various archetypal and ancient wisdom teachings our underlying stories are waiting to be told.

Sometimes they are obvious, on the surface, sometimes they are deeper.  Even when we have been working on ourselves for many years, finding ourselves (now ) at the chopping wood carry water state of being and service.

We often think, I‘ve done it all….yet, life has a way of being a mystery and within that mystery are deeper layers and ways of knowing.

This is where Creative Cartography ™ weaves a blend of Art, Science & Transformational Wisdom Teaching into a tapestry, your tapestry of the mysterious wonders with the Body/Mind connection with the Divine ~ For you to discover your Living Mythologies. You are a living myth full of Archetypal stories, your Anatomy holds the keys and clues , and will reveal more of your Story Path.

Story Prescription™ founder Melanie Weller and I have teamed up to present Finding your Sacred Voice, the first in our series of Sacred Anatomy/Sacred Story offerings.

 The curious thing is , only you hold the secret treasures of your Sacred Voice yet yours is a vital voice in the chorus of Humanity.

Please join us for three weeks of Creative Exploration  of Finding your Sacred Voice   Begins on April 29th.
