WELCOME TO A NEW ERA – 2023 Get ready for a year of cosmic challenges across the board. 2023 Overview This year is about seeking the silver lining emerging from shadows with moon light in our eyes and roses in our hands, looking for the good that still dwells among us. The heart that beats beneath the skin of the world. This is the year of the Rabbit 2023 new moon and sun conjunction in Aquarius so the Chinese calendar resets at this time. The rabbit is a symbol of longevity imaged as an alchemist and shaman who lives on the moon with the moon Goddess change. The rabbit is about peace calmness and healing after the dynamic tiger year. The rabbit is the water element. Keenly perceptive and can sense danger in any situation. So be aware and conscious around your presence. Feelings and emotions are high intuitive, empathic and kind. So this is a yin year – feminine and soft. This year the planets ask us to engage in dynamic social change and to create and nurture new cycles, webs and cohorts explore humbly before jumping into action. Structure and responsible Saturn starts the year in Aquarius and enters Pisces on 3/07/23. Transformative Pluto steps into Aquarius from 3/23/23- 6/11/23, then retrogrades back into Capricorn until 2/1/24. The new chapter of Pluto in Aquarius offers hope- But, don’t expect all sweetness and light. Pluto takes 247 years around the zodiac and last time it was here in Aquarius was 1778-1797, heralding an era for revolution. Surely our voices will be heard. Look deeper in life to keep...

At last week’s moon ceremony we made Native American Tobacco Prayer Ties. I wanted to share with you how and when to make these prayer ties, as they are very powerful and send our dreams, wishes and desires up to Spirit. Because of this, they should only be used on special occasions. For example, last week we used them on a new moon eclipse to manifest our dreams. You could try making them with manifestation prayers on the new moon in Capricorn on December 21, the winter solstice. Prayer ties can also be used to honor our family lineage and those who have passed. Try making one on Halloween or All Soul’s Day this weekend. Instead of using the prayer ties to manifest, you would use them to honor those special people from the past that are a part of your lineage by letting them know they are thought about, loved and a big part of who you are today. Show them that they are respected and revered in your life. Watch the following video to see how to make the Native American Tobacco Prayer Ties. If you have any questions or thoughts, please let us know in the comments!...

1. Foundation The first thing any aspiring healer will want to do is get a fantastic and solid foundation. Foundation is everything and it allows us the space to grow. Part of maintaining a strong foundation is partaking as the patient in healing work. As healers, we must always, always, always purge ourselves and heal ourselves. 2. Protection The next thing to remember is protection–create a good space for yourself and for the people you bring into your home or clinic. As time passes and you advance in healing work, do not forget to regularly cleanse your products, the stones, feathers and tools of your trade. Part of protecting yourself and your space requires healers to know where any new person being sent to them comes from. Before this person comes through your door you’ll want to identify if they are a referral from a current client or if they are coming via another means. Try to find out something about new clients before you invite them into your space. 3. Intent without Expectations Finally, healers must realize that they can only control their intent and not the outcome (for a variety of reasons). Your primary focus should be to have good intent without creating any expectations. You were called to this practice because you care about others so of course you would like to heal everyone that comes to you. But not everyone is truly ready to heal. Some people believe, on some level, that it is best for them to hold on to whatever is hurting them because it serves them in some way. For those people,...

This Wednesday is our monthly new moon ceremony. This is a special moon, as most are, as the new moon is in Libra and it is all about love. Libra is ruled by Venus. Venus is about the love you deserve to attract, the one spirit chooses for us (Thy will not my will!). Libra is about love of self as well as others. So how do you perceive love? Please let us know in the comments! Blessings to all, Joy ...
