Welcome, dear sisters,
Firstly, I would like to thank you for being here and for connecting more closely on Instagram and through email. I am truly enjoying getting to know you all better.
Let’s explore the messages that have come through to guide us this week.
The full moon is associated with the element of fire, the mother archetype, and is a time to pause and fully receive the gifts from all your efforts. Allow everything to be seen and appreciated.
What has the past two weeks since the new moon brought you?
Do you remember the seeds of intention you planted during the new moon?
Let yourself be nourished and prepare to look at what might be holding you back or blocking you from what is ready to blossom within you.
As we head back into the darkness as the moon begins to wane, fear not the darkness. The womb is dark, the earth is dark; these are places of nourishment, growth, and mystery.
Collective Message
Lioness: Is there an area of your life that is asking for courageous, loyal commitment—one that you may not have fully stepped into due to fear of rejection or failure? There is a calling to embrace this gift. This may mean you also need to protect the relationship or your boundaries to fully immerse yourself.
Mantra: "I am courageous I am loyal to my truth"
Draining: Who or what is draining your life force? More specifically, whose dream are you feeding? Perhaps you’re drawn in by a shiny image or entangled in drama. Let it be seen. Your life is your most precious asset.
Mantra: "I reclaim my energy and focus on what nourishes my soul."
Word Magic: Observe your thoughts and pause before words are cast. Tune into the power of words. This applies to who you listen to and what you read, as it influences your experience of life and what you will come to manifest.
Mantra: "I speak and listen with intention, shaping my reality with mindful words."
Creator: You play an active role in your life experience. When you come to understand the language of nature, your body, and your guides, you will gain allies who will support, guide, and replenish you.
Mantra: "I am a conscious creator, in harmony with nature and guided by my inner wisdom."
Tarot and Oracle Readings
The Star
In Tarot, The Star card offers a vision of life stripped of external influences that distract you from your truth. It signifies a return to harmony, where you align with your true nature and the natural world. Just as animals contribute positively to their environment when left in their natural habitat, humans, too, can live in harmony with nature, avoiding harm, neglect, and abuse.
We have the tools within us—reflection, contemplation, meditation—to reconnect with this state of balance and remember our essence.
Following The Tower card, The Star comes as a welcome after a period of destruction and turmoil. You have endured many challenges, shedding limiting beliefs that once held you back. Now, you are discovering your essence and who you are beneath all the layers.
Dark Mirror Oracle: Today for Tomorrow (32)
Acceptance
"Hope resides in the present; it’s the foundation upon which we build our future."
It may seem like a trade-off: sacrificing the present to secure a better future, as ants do, or enjoying the present at the expense of the future, as cicadas do. Both choices come with a sense of bittersweetness. The constant tension between regret and remorse can be overwhelming.
But what if, for once, we turn our backs on this painful idea of sacrifice? What if we shed the constraints of this endless cycle?
Are you choosing to sacrifice the future to enjoy the present, or are you sacrificing the present to secure a better future? Is it possible to find a balance where you can embrace both a fulfilling present and a promising future? Reflect on how you can remain fully present in each moment while trusting your inner guidance to make choices that benefit both now and later.
Could the sacrifices you make be seen as honorable, or do they suggest that significant changes are needed to align more closely with the insights of this card? Consider what you might be avoiding to fully enjoy the present and what you might be neglecting in preparation for the future.
Shaman Dream Oracle: Drifter (14) - "Experiencing Life as It Comes"
Stop waiting for a detailed map; all you need is a compass pointing to your heart. To the ego, it might feel like you’re doing nothing or achieving nothing, leading you to believe that you’re merely existing.
However, this card invites you to question this notion and instead focus on how fully you can engage with the present moment. True fulfillment comes from being in full presence, experiencing life through all your senses, and embracing each moment as it unfolds.
This card encourages you to return to the presence of the heart repeatedly, listening deeply to the wisdom it offers. By doing so, you can discover new insights and inspiration that arise naturally.
Trust that everything you need and desire from the heart will arrive at the perfect time. The manifestation may not align with your initial expectations, but it will still bring about the internal experience you seek.
If your inspired insights begin to awaken your ego, causing you to want to organize or control the information, take this as a sign to practice patience. Allow yourself the space to wait and trust the process.
You will come to recognize what information is truly meant for you and when you are called to act as a channel for others. The key is to remain open and receptive, understanding that the journey itself holds valuable lessons and revelations.
