Fairy Queen - Inspires and Guides

Greetings all who come in Peace and Compassion.  Below is my Fairy Queen Plaque Altered Art Piece that is available at my Etsy Shop.  She has a "vintage" feel to her and there is a fairy poem on the back so you can use this as a plaque or an "ornament". 

 Many a time I have pondered about the Fairy Queen.  From early childhood, through the years until the present moment.  Mysterious and marvelous is she … real to me and existing in my heart and soul.  She can be found somewhere on this earthy plane, not to be seen by most.  Still, a favored few can see her if only from afar.  

 I will be coming back to write of her from time to time.  Below is a marvelous poem by Kipling.  It just sings to my heart.  I hope it does for you as well. 

I have a thousand men," said he,
"To wait upon my will;
And towers nine upon the Tyne,
And three upon the Till."

"And what care I for your men? " said she,
"Or towers from Tyne to Till?
Still you must go with me," said she,
"To wait upon my will.

And you may lead a thousand men
Nor ever draw the rein,
But before you lead the Fairy Queen
'Twill burst your heart in twain."

He has slipped his foot from the stirrup-bar,
The bridle from his hand,
And he is bound by hand and foot
To the Queen of Fairy Land.

~Rudyard Kipling~

The Goddess Tarot - I Used It As An Oracle

Greetings all people who gather in Peace and LOVE.   I don't really read the tarot cards ...but I do try an oracle reading from time to time.  The other day I decided to try my hand at an oracle reading for myself and my situation in life at the moment from The Goddess Tarot.  I was inspired by the Etsy Tarot Readers Guild which I recently joined.  I really admire anyone who is good at reading tarot cards ... I do believe it is a gift and that we all can learn to get in touch with our intuition through practice, meditation, ritual and prayer.  

Well, I drew two cards ... I just wanted one but low and behold two were stuck together, so I assumed I was meant to see both.  You can see what there were below.  

The first one I drew and looked at was the Goddess of Fertility (III) and then Gaia (XXI).  This whole deck of cards are just beautiful, by the way. 

I felt these were a very good omen for me indeed, especially with the Gaia card which can mean experiencing a connection with the universe.  I have been experiencing this for some time now, and it has been growing and growing.   It can also mean a sense of expansion and hope.
 
The Fertility Goddess (the benevolent Navajo corn Goddess) can mean feeling of fertility and abundance and creativity.  Now there is no way it can be a pregnancy, so perhaps abundance in my creativity/art.  

For your convenience, I have a link to Amazon where you can find this deck.  I bought this deck quite a few years ago and had the workbook but alas I have misplaced that book.  Oh well, it will turn up when I'm meant to find it. 

Doing this helped me into that "good" feeling place that it so needed to move on to the good things in life that our Holy Mother so wants for all of  us ... so in the end this was a very positive moment for me. 
 
Any ideas on the meaning of these is welcomed ... positive ones that is.

Happiness, Abundance, Health and LOVE to ALL !

IMBOLC - Candlemas - Some History, Traditions and Folklore

Imbolc, the second of the four great fire festivals brings the first thaw of winter. It is a time of rebirth, fertility and nurturing under the auspices of the Virgin Goddess. 


In the Christian tradition Imbolc has become known as Candlemas, and is a time for rebirth, renewal, refreshing, purification, cleaning out the old and preparing for the new, spring cleaning, preparing for spring, new hope, new growth, new beginnings. 
 
Now I know where “spring cleaning” came from.  I don’t know I if it is a tradition among many anymore, but we still do this and for sure my Mom did Spring and Fall cleaning.  I think the world would be a happier place if people celebrated and noted the change of seasons like in olden days.  It doesn’t matter what spiritual persuasion you are, it would fit into anyone’s religious and/or spiritual beliefs I would think.   It would make us feel more united with one another and with nature.  Just my two cents.

Imbolc is a holiday with a variety of names, depending on which culture and location you’re looking at. In the Irish Gaelic, it’s called Oimelc, which translates to “ewe’s milk.” It’s a precursor to the end of winter when the ewes are nursing their newly born lambs. Spring and the planting season are right around the corner.

Imbolc brings the very first whisperings of spring. Snowdrops peep up through the cold earth and the tiniest buds begin to form on the trees. Winter is by no means over - in fact the worst is often to come - but there is a glimmer of hope. In northern latitudes, it becomes obvious that the days are lengthening. Candles are lit to represent the return of the Sun the the divine spark of creativity.  

Happiness and Abundance to ALL

Fairy Of Sweet - Art Print, Positive Affirmation and Positive Quotes

I release any unpleasantness from the past and let it sail away.
I envision it going through the mists of my memories,
over the horizon, and out of sight. LOVE rushes in to fill
any empty places within my heart or mind. Now I am free
to do what is before me and free to do it better than ever
before. I am free to enrich my life and everything concerning me.
~Unknown
