Invoking the Goddess this winter solstice

Invoking the Goddess this Winter Solstice As the goddess never dies. The eternal cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth is depicted in her being and imagery still. The earth offered plants, animals and trees which also embody such obvious cycle and knowledge. Some trees display for us clearly with the loss of their leaves in autumn and fresh blossom on the branches each spring. However there was a tree which remained evergreen. The celts and pagan people of days gone by, those people who still connected with the earth and the nature within them so deeply would bring that tree or braches of it indoors at this time of year. Bringing that which is still alive on the darkest night and the harshest time inside. Decorating one's home with life and lights. Adorning the branches with tokens that represented all which they welcomed in for the year ahead. Coins would ask for wealth and abundance. Candles which beckon the sun to bring warmth to their homes and to the ground, which i...

BIO RHYTHMS and how to calculate yours From the day you are born until this very day your body has been following a subtle approximately 28 day rhythm, correlating to nature and the cycle of the moon. This cycle can be the reason for monthly fluctuations in weight, mood, skin conditions and many more physical and mental experiences. Some days you may notice you just feel down for no apparent reason and could burst into tears at the slightest thing. Other days any wrong word from a loved one could make you blow your top. Then there are those days you wake up and just feel great. You don't know why you experience these ups and downs, you just do and believe it or not on observation there is a pattern to these mental and the physical highs and lows.

The healing power of colour

Image
Life is colour. It is impossible to imagine a world in only black and white. A grey ocean, a white sky and dull trees. Colour is the very pulse of existence. Human eye's can only detect a small portion of light. Each colour has its own vibration which interacts with our own. The great psychic Edgar Cayce explained that colours can influence our beings even more than sound. Through vibrations we sow our seeds and reap our destiny. When a child is born we paint their rooms in soft pastel colours instinctively. Colours are of the deepest significance to us throughout all phases of our life. They have more influence on us then we can possibly imagine. If we use them intelligently they can help us in many ways. Colour rays touch planet earth night and day. Every atom responds to them, announcing its own quality to those who are able to decipher the language of colours. A red rose’s beautiful petals appear red to the eye. The rose petals absorb all colours except for red. The red wa...
