The waxing half-moon represents a time of creation, action, and curiosity. It draws us back to our red thread and the fire within us. This is a time to redirect all energy to our hearts and allow the truth within us to manifest through us.
With the Lammas festival that passed last week, it has been a time to pause, tune in to gratitude, and hopefully remember why we chose to come down to Earth at this time.
While sitting in meditation on 9 August, the anniversary of my brother's transition from his body, it was a very powerful experience for me. In my safe space within my vision, I was greeted by a gentle elder. Her body was soft, and she was wearing all white. She was so delicate, so grateful, so thankful for the visit and for the tribe of sisters who are remembering the wisdom within their bones.
She said to me, "Ask for what you need, dear child." This message felt like it was for all of us, to remember we do not have to do this alone and we are always in the gentle loving awareness of the ones who have been before us.
Every week, I sit in various circles of women. Within our online women’s circle, we gather every two weeks. Here is the link for the next circle, titled My Body is My Temple. This circle is a space to examine all the stories we’ve come to believe that make us reject or disassociate from our bodies. With this information, we can meet ourselves, sit in the seat of our higher selves, and give thanks and blessings for every cell in our bodies. I’ll also be sharing a practice and a way to redirect energy that is not nourishing, allowing it to pass on and be alchemized.

Through the collective, in my own meditations and horizons, the following themes stand out to me:
Homecoming: Many signs are guiding you to find the answers to your questions within yourself. Every frequency you've been hoping to experience in this lifetime doesn’t need to come from an external force; it can be awakened within your body. Remember that your body is a temple for your soul to experience the world through.
Mantra: "I honor my body as the sacred temple of my soul, where all answers reside within."
Dreams and the Invisible World: Perhaps you’ve noticed your dreams becoming more vivid or your imagination awakening. Welcome this as a gift. Society often tells us that imagination is for children, but it’s imagination that will transform the world. If we hold the vision of the world we believe in, it will manifest through us. This vision doesn’t come from the mind; it is channeled through the heart.
Mantra: "I embrace the power of my imagination, allowing my heart's vision to manifest."
Womb Magic: Tune in to the deep knowing within you that you have the ability to manifest, alchemize, and purify. Remember that you can ask for what you need at any time, and you can redirect what no longer serves you. This is an opportunity to connect with the wisdom of your red thread and the wise women who came before you, guiding you forward. We have so many courses in this space from menstrual cycle awareness to deeping into orgasm, here.
Mantra: "I trust in my inner wisdom and alchemize all that no longer serves me."
Boundaries Within: If someone was continuously harming you, you would leave the situation or defend yourself if you felt safe to do so. Similarly, when thoughts, emotions, or energies arise that deplete or harm you, you have the power to acknowledge their presence, but also to declare that you no longer receive this energy through your body and to redirect it, to permit it to be alchemized.
Mantra: "I release what depletes me and welcome only nourishing energy into my being."
Reading: Shaman's Dream Deck - Confidence in Your Magic
Card: Magician's Sword (37)
The "Magician's Sword" card serves as a reminder that you possess the strength to say no and the power to cut cords with anything that pulls you away from your truth. The sword is a tool, not a weapon, and it asks you to consider: What are you still hooked into? What habits, people, or places are you holding onto that no longer serve you? This card isn’t about fighting; it’s about releasing, which beautifully ties into what we've been exploring—your inner power and your ability to choose what you allow into your life and what will nourish you.
"You have a vast reservoir of magic available to you when you believe in miracles. But don’t look to the heavens to grant you a wish; look within. Use the Magician’s Sword to cut through limiting beliefs (and remember that all beliefs are limiting) and focus your intention to create what you desire. You already have all the tools you need for the task at hand; you just need to summon the resolve to use them."
Dark Mirror Deck - Blinded to Pain (Number 13)
Emotion: Denial
This card asks a deep question: Are you ready to feel everything that is out of place in your life? It might be painfully obvious what isn’t nourishing you at the moment, yet there may be a reluctance to fully acknowledge it.
The "Blinded to Pain" card complements the "Magician's Sword" card, as it calls you to step into the light and see clearly what is pulling you away from your heart's truth, keeping you trapped in the shadows of your ego. It’s time to break free from the habit of saying, "It’s fine; it doesn’t hurt," and instead, to redirect that flow of energy.
In Japan, there is a practice called Aikido, which is a discipline of peace. It teaches the redirection of energy rather than resisting it. This card resonates with that philosophy, encouraging you to not resist your pain but to redirect and transform it.
The "Blinded to Pain" card encourages deep reflection on the ways you may have allowed yourself to be hurt or disconnected from your emotions. Often, we remain unaware of the self-destructive cycles we continue to engage in.
Consider this: What pain have you been ignoring or unable to see that needs to be acknowledged and healed today? Where have you denied your emotions or disrespected yourself in the name of others, believing that you couldn’t attain what you wanted while staying true to yourself?
Three of Pentacles
In this card, we see people gathering in a shared space, symbolizing the time to welcome your soul tribe—whether they are physically present, communicating from afar, or existing as your spirit guides.
Remember that your tribe may come from different backgrounds, have varied experiences, and hold diverse desires, yet they share a common foundation of beliefs and a strong relationship with you.
This card reminds us of the importance of taking responsibility for our own actions and shadows and understanding our triggers. It’s about acknowledging our own journey and being able to support others in theirs. By holding space for their growth and reminding them of the light, you help nourish their wounds and reflect the light within them.
The Three of Pentacles invites you to align with a collective vision for a new earth, where collaboration and mutual support pave the way for shared growth and transformation.
Question: How can I better connect with my tribe—whether they are physically present, communicating from afar, or guiding me from the spirit realm—and how can I take responsibility for my own growth while supporting others on their journey? In what ways can I contribute to creating a collective vision of a new earth through collaboration and mutual support?
