As most of us are confined to our homes, we have no choice but to start facing some of our shadows. And what a powerful and supportive time to do so. 

We have been forced to stop.
To slow down.
And to find new ways of being.

There is much power to be discovered in the stillness and in turning within. 

That said, I myself have been journeying through a big shadow of my own. One that comes up often and my biggest "stuck" point. This week the shadow emotions came back in like a wrecking ball (as they usually do during the week of a full moon!), and before I went to deep into a loop, I knew it was time to work on another layer. 

The other night, after doing a lot of emotion processing, I was about to fall asleep and the image of my heart shaped rock that was gifted to me in Sedona by Robert Sechrengost (look him up if you don't already know about him!) popped in my mind, clear as day. 

The energy I felt when I "saw" it told me this wasn't just a random image coming to mind. There was a...

This morning I worked with my pendulum and higher council to choose which deck from my collection wanted to work with me to bring a message of empowerment to the tribe today.

I wasn't surprised that the Goddess Power deck stepped forward, as it has been on my radar for the last week. 

Today's message is brought from the Athena and Uzume cards. 

Athena's Message: 
Athena represents knowledge and wants to remind us it is time to discover our "knowing" and then to stand in it. 

To get into a state of deeper empowerment, we want to choose our belief and now stick with that belief.  Are we afraid, or are we going to co-create our experiences? Lets stop dancing back an forth, pick a stance, and then work with it to our full capacity. 

Athena also lets us know now is a perfect time to gain greater clarity than we have ever had before. That sounds confusing, when there is so much uncertainty in the world.. but really though, what better time to decide to show up in our full power than in t...

When we were in Sedona for our Healing Retreat last month I bought a unique locally designed Oracle Deck. This deck has a really special energy to it, and I just knew it wanted to work with me to bring sacred Earth and Animal messages. 

I have been asking my guide team every day how I can best show up and serve my tribe right now during such unprecedented times. Often I will feel called to post motivational, uplifting, or thought provoking content. Other times I am called to create printed material and free guidebooks, or host a few free circles. But today's message feels really special. Especially since I have been calling in deeper relationships and magic working with Earth, plant, animal, and spirit energies. 

Today the Sedona Oracle deck was sitting to the left of me on my desk, and kept drawing my attention on and off throughout the day.

I finally picked it up and where I normally will shuffle before picking a card, I felt drawn to spread them all out on my desk. There were six...
