Love and Light,

Amanda

If the PoW shows up, ask yourself: Do you love what you're doing? Are you fuelling your heart with life? Are you receiving love? When you jump, is it for joy? Did you learn something today because you wanted to? Does your new lifepath scare you? If not, your candle my friend, has burnt out.

A Christian Witch? No. Maybe? Yes!

Day #18 - Publish a post I'm afraid to publish.

Well, that's easy.

I think I might be a witch.

I know. Scary thought... especially considering the Wicked Witch of the West scared the hell out of me as a child. The witches in Macbeth made me twitch. The face I remember most, the witch that made me cringe with fear... was the old bat from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. (Insert shrug)

And then there is Gena Rowlands who plays Violet Devereaux in The Skeleton Key. That ladies and gentlemen, makes my skin crawl. Not with fear, really. But with a deep, complete and total belief that, maybe... just maybe... there is more to this world than meets the eye.

Finally, there is the witch woman who came to my bed as a very young child for years. I would say up until I was maybe 9 or 10 years old. There she was, the same woman reaching down for me in her shadow cast. I never saw her face. I never heard her voice. But her message was always clear. I belonged "with" her. Obviously, I grew out of her, and her apparition has since ceased. A gone but not forgotten childhood memory.

That was until my daughter woke me up one day. The lady in black reached down to come and get her while she was sleeping... "she wanted me to be 'with' her, but I want to stay 'with' you."

I kindly asked that she stay away from my #ministarlite, and that if she really needed to be around, she could deal with me directly and that my daughter was off limits to her. We've only had a few issues since, mainly, I think, because I have finally embraced her existence as being something real. A message. Guidance.

A weird thing has happened since this acceptance thing. I don't see her anymore. But I sense her. Like she is 'with' me. Gently pulling me, asking me, showing me... there is more. It's in me, around me and part of me. I am drawn to her.

Mother Moon. Goddess Night.

So what does this have to do with me being a witch? Good question. Since having decided to define my #spriritualpurpose, I have learned to embrace the principles of Tarot. The principles behind this lifestyle and guidance tool comes very natural to me. The elemental makeup of Tarot is a very clean and clear soul code. While learning and delving into all things Tarot, obviously I've come across many new principles, people, ideas and lifestyles. These new introductions include Wiccan and Paganism.

Initial reaction: ((((shudder))))
I am raised Roman Catholic, which means, I was taught that all things pagan and Wiccan... was... is... devil worship.

And now, just wait before you start smashing your brooms at me. Please read the above statement, several times until you understand what I actually wrote, instead of what you think I meant.

"I was taught that Wiccan... was... is... devil worship."

I NEVER believed it, but I never knew enough to know and ask the right questions. It never occurred to me that someday, the answers would come to me.  Who knew? Wiccans don't even believe in the Devil or Hell... this negative and mind controlling concept is actually Christian.

Core principles of value to me ~ before taking foot on this SpiritRoad I find myself currently walking:

Bare feet on plain earth calms me down immediately. It also has the strange ability to get rid of my headaches.
God and I have a better conversation when we spend the day in nature, than an hour spent at Mass.
The Triple Goddess seems the most natural of life cycles... even Mother Mary was a Virgin, Mother, Crone.
I open windows in the morning to let negative energy out, and Spirit in.
I believe in Angels, and I allow them to carry me when I am at my worst.
Everyone around me knows when the full moon is coming, simply by my change in behaviour. I am deeply affected by it's power.
I believe I have a responsibility to Mother Nature, and Mothers of the world. And although they can each be defined individually, they are... we are... one. And each deserve to be protected, respected and cared for.
I believe that the answer to our future lay on the tongue of those people, whose culture and lifestyle face a real and very near extinction.
It hurts my heart to know that 'we' are not learning from our Grandmothers. It hurts my soul that we are not teaching our daughters. We cannot teach what we do not know.
The world will stop turning, and it will be because we refuse to fix the mistakes of our closest ancestors with the lessons of our oldest ancestors.
A sachet of herbs set with the best of intentions, has power.
An offering is acknowledgement that there is more to this world than I. Without the abundance with which this world gives me to use (and by many abuse), I am nothing.
Running tap water drives me crazy. Stop wasting water.
Boiling water from a pot for tea, tastes better than heating it up in a microwave.
Cooking with wooden spoons makes food taste better.
The older the cast iron pot, the better the meal.
Holding the hand of a loved one in complete silence so very intimate, sensual and healing.

I have a responsibility.

Maiden. Mother. Crone.

Student. Teacher. Mentor.

In love and light, I embrace my fear.

~ A lesson in Tarot: Can't you just picture an Isle full of 

The Fools and Pages running around wild and silly?~

Sarah ~ Spirit of the Wand

Page of Wands - General Meaning

Sarah comes out the womb kicking and screaming... anxious to start living life to the fullest. She follows the light, and is convinced that the answers can be found by searching the stars.

Naturally connected to Spirit, this young page is full of energy and belief. Belief in humanity, society and spirituality. Communicating these beliefs with others fuels her fire, and when she learns something new she is the first to run out and learn more about it.

A piece of quiet time does her well, but only when she's tired of running her mouth and trying to mentally solve the worlds problems. As soon as she's aerated her little fire, she's right back at it, her energy like fiery little bouncy curls, untameable and full of life. She's quick to start and quick to learn. This is important, because she tends to let her emotion and intuition set her on course and needs to rely on her ability to learn from her mistakes so she can move on at a pace and speed she needs to.

Even early on, she is a leader. Always looking to teach and tell. The spirit to move and travel, is a strong pull inside her. If she can't physically make the move, for financially travel... she will dive into books, documentaries, anything that can take her where her heart longs, she'll get her hands on and fill her heart with the mysteries and magic of the world.

She's the little girl you find in the library, reading well beyond her years. Offering to open doors for the elderly. Beating down the bully, and the first to offer a shoulder to cry on.

Give Sarah a podium, a link to Spirit and a new experience... and you've given this lil Page her Elements of Success.

On a closing note, I'd like to share this with you...

Every time you hear this little diddy, know that the PoW is close at hand, and a very positive new start is just around the corner.

Plastic Canvas ~ Stitching My Way to Freedom

I can't believe it's been 20 years since I bought the "Fashion Doll House in Plastic Canvas" by Kooler Design Studio. I remember seeing it at the now defunct 'Lewiscraft' in Lethbridge AB, all those years ago. Normally, cross stitching was my craft of choice, but this stopped me dead in my tracks.

Kooler Design Studio

I had to make this for my daughter.

Trying to convince my mother, the one who was going to fork out the $40 for me to have this, was a challenge. "You're 15, you don't even know if you're going to have a daughter." This was one of those moments where I needed to revert to childlike behaviour. I was ready and willing to throw a toddler like tantrum until my mother caved.

Amazingly, my mom gave in, and I won. I walked out of that store eager and excited to make this doll house, knowing in my heart, my baby girl was would enjoy it... sooner or later.

If we FWD ten years later (sooner than I would have guessed) to February 28th 2004, at the foothills hospital and just after 30 hours of labour, there she was... my Mini Starlite, the love of my life. Of course, in my minds eye, I had pictured finishing the doll house first, getting married, decorating the nursery to match the doll house, and presenting it when I arrived home with her bundled in my arms.

I don't think there is enough online blog space to write what actually happened.  So let's just say this... life happened. The doll house didn't.

My first real attempt at making this blasted thing, I mean... family heirloom... was just after getting home from the hospital. Excited to get out of the house and introduce the best baby ever to the world, I took my Mini Starlite to the craft store. Overweight, sweaty, lactating and pushing around a stroller the size of King Kong in a craft store... was not my one of my best ideas. I did not have enough life experience to understand what I was getting into, namely, the needs of a new born. Needless to say, that doll house was going to have to wait another day.

FWD another five years and I find myself back in Ottawa. Not happy. I still had a few months left before having to go back to work. Very happy. I unpacked for like the 7th time in 3 years. Not happy. I find the FDH craft book. Very happy. Back to the craft store I go, only to find out they no longer carry plastic canvas. Not happy. A quick search on the internet and $300 later, I have a box FULL of plastic canvas. Me happy. The Man Star, not happy.

Around the same time, I decided I was going to commit to finishing all projects that I started including, obviously, the doll house. I started this whole "clickity clack" business, as mi familia likes to call it, in September of 2009. And the lessons I've learned about life, my life... has been detoxifying, motivating and self inspiring.

2009'ish:
The foundation - This is going to be big. Much bigger than I thought. I wonder if I chewed off more than I can handle. Whatever, I just want to get started. The foundation is actually quite boring. I want to get to the good stuff, I'll come back to it.

The living room - Now this is cool. I love the colours and the way every is coming together. Might not be my best work, but I'm figuring it out, getting better at it every stitch of the way.

A Lesson from Tarot ~ The Fool in Rev: You cannot win the race with a false start.

2010'ish:
The Kitchen - Dang. This is much harder than I thought it was going to be. Why does a doll house need so much detail? Can't wait till this is done. Okay, a million pieces stitched... and I still have to put this thing together. Boy, my daughter better love playing with this thing.

A Lesson from Tarot ~ Ten of Wands: I have three choices, carry on, delegate, or walk away.

2011'ish:
The Hallway - I should have followed the instructions. There is strategy in instructions. I can only blame myself for making this so hard.


The Bedroom - "You want it purple? But the instructions say pink. It is a Barbie house." "But I have to play with it and I hate pink." "Purple it is."

A Lesson from Tarot ~ The Emperor & The Empress: While there is stability in structure, there is Spirit in creation.

2012'ish:
The Other Hallway - Whatever, lets just get this thing done and forget about it. This isn't fun anymore. I give myself the weekend to focus and finish.

The Bathroom - Okay, good. Temper tantrum over. I've stepped away. Inhale/exhale. I can see the finish line. I can see a house. I'm am learning some new techniques.

A Lesson from Tarot ~ Five of Wands in Rev: Face your challenges. The reward is in the resolution.

2013'ish:
The Attic - Well, I've pissed around long enough now to realize... my baby is no longer plays with Barbie. Oh well. I've come to far to give up.

The foundation (again) - Who would have thought. Four years later, and I'm re-stiching the foundation of the house, because I didn't do it the first time. However, this time it looks fresh. Complete. And it's some of the best stitching I've done to date.

But wait...does this mean... I finished what I started? Why am I not over joyed? Why am I not crying? Where is that sense of... Yes! I am a superstar!!

A Lesson from Tarot ~ Eight of Pentacles in Rev: Do what you love, and avoid the search for self worth.

Of all the things I coulda, shoulda and woulda... this is my #magicmoment: I will finish what I start, but only if it has value and because I really want to.

Goodbye books that that I've held on to for years, but have no desire to read. I hope someone else enjoys you. See you later material bought in the '90s, may your retro'ness be repurposed. Crafts, clothes and other crap... you'll be great $5 fillers at the garage sale.

My heart races and my hands itch... I am so excited to have finally learned to let go. In the process of letting go, I am opening the door to new adventures. Adventures that will forever be #indigospirit inspired.

1000's of stitches... 100's of hours... and even more curse words later... 

I've built the house. It is a home. And you are Welcome...

Throwback Thursday ~ My Mom, the Rock Biter

"They look like big, good, strong hands..."Rock Biter

It's a weird thing to come across Rock Biter after all these years and have him remind me of my mother. And no, before you get ridiculous, my mother does not bite rocks.

My mom was never really one to self-criticise, at least not in front of us kids. Ask my Mini Starlite what her mother doesn't like about herself, and I'm sure she'd come up with a list (I know I know, be careful of what you say in front of the little ones). I digress...

The one thing I do remember my Mom talking about was/is her hands. Her "big farm man hands", as she refers to them. As a child she worked hard on the farm, which served to be her course in life. The strength of her "big, good, strong hands..." has allowed her to care for her family, physically and financially.

On the flip side, it was difficult for her to find something as simple as a pair of leather gloves that fit. Bracelets and watches were always to small. Not until recent years did she ever feel like her hands were pretty enough for manicures. And now as I watch the arthritis manifest, it saddens me to see the strength slip away.

The physical strength only. Because deep inside those "big farm man hands", was love, compassion and caring touch stronger than any rock. If the day comes when things start slipping through her fingers, and she can no longer hold on... I will be there to hold her hand.

Those "big, good, strong hands..." raised us with a gentle touch. Their tenderness will not be soon forgotten, and their Spirit will live on forever.

Love and Light,
Amanda

Wisdom Wednesday - The Way As Led by Inukshuk

It has become a yearly family Starlite tradition to build an Inukshuk. This little hobby started when we moved out East, and came across these little guys along the Trans Canada. Growing up Canadian, this is not a new sight, I mean most of us have seen these somewhere in our adventures. And if you haven't noticed them since the Vancouver Olympics, you've essentially been living under a rock. Pun intended.
In Ontario, however, these seemed to pop up more and more the closer we got to Ottawa.

At one point we found ourselves in North Bay, on a tiny little beach and the sun was setting. My Manstar decided he was going build an Inukshuk. This little stone statue was a poignant mark in our journey as little arms stretched from east to west... from one home to the next. Every year since, he's built one, marking another step on our adventure.

It was a pleasant surprise when I came home one day to find the above StoneMan in my front yard. The message within the gift let me know that this is home. My home. Our home. A home in which you are welcome.

Love and Light,
Amanda

Do you have a family tradition? What makes your house a home?

Tarot Tuesday - Wishing Stones, a Poem

Wishing Stones

An old, frail woman sits in a rocking chair.

Rocking slowly, gently, back and forth.

The floorboards beneath her creek softly.

She is dressed in black.

Hair held back with two hair clasps.

A pouch dangles from her arm.

A drawstring wrapped around her wrinkled wrist.

There is a rustle heard nearby.

A small girl appears.

Dress in white dress, with small imprints of daisies on it.

Hair tied into a braid.

Timidly she inches over to the woman.

The woman unravels the drawstring from her wrist.

She opens the pouch, and five small stone fall into her lap.

Each stone is unique in its own way.

Different sizes, shapes and textures.

The little girl is face to face with the woman.

She hands her each stone carefully, and with great care. She holds 

the stone and with each stone she tells her wish for the little girl.

The first stone with the inscription STRENGTH

My wish is that you have the strength to endure the past, the present, the future. 

To fight all the evil and conquer it in the name of good.

Next comes CREATE

My wish is for you to create memories. Some of them good and 

some of them bad. To even life out. And that each bad memory you 

create only equals more memories that are good.

Then DREAM

My wish is that your dreams come true in your life, as well as the people around you.

Next MAGIC

My wish is that your days been filled with magic, both unreal and

real. Both created by you, and created by other people around you.

Finally WISH

My wish is that these wishes as well as many others to come your 

way. Also, that each wish is better then the last one.

The little girl admires the stones.

The woamn opens the pouch and picks eachs tone one at a time,

and places them in the pouch.

The woman hands the pouch to the little girl and says "For safe

keeping"

The little girl smiles an runs out the door.

Giggles are heard.

The woman continues to rock.

I came upon this poem and so dearly love the story and message behind it. It inspired me to create the "Wishing Stone" tarot spread. I hope you enjoy the poem, and are inspired to ask Spirit for guidance with your next wish.

This is a fun spread to do if you already have a "Wishing Stone". If you don't, now is a great time to out and spend some time with self and find one. No rules. Wherever your heart leads you, is where you must go. Specialty store... the riverbed... even your own backyard. Once you've connected with your wishing stone, hold it in your hand and think of a wish you'd like to manifest. Place the stone in front of you, and pull five cards, laying each one above your stone like a crown.

           3

    2    ...    4

1...  Stone ... 5

Spread Interpretations

1. What you will need to let go of in order to move forward with making your wish come true.

2. What you need to be open to in order to create space for your wish to come true.

3. How helping others can help you to fulfill your own dreams.

4. How Spirit is already helping you achieve your wish. 

5. The outcome of your wish. How your wish will most likely manifest itself in your life.

Love and Light,
Amanda


What was your last, full bodied, heart set wish? Are you still waiting on that wish to come true? What have you done lately to remind universe of your desire?

Magic Monday ~ Wish Upon a Stone

The vows of my marriage. Cast in stone.

As my sixth anniversary looms, I got to thinking about what we have, tangibly, that represents our wedding outside the obvious rings, pictures...etc. What is that one 'thing' we shared six years ago that still holds power today? What is at the foundation our marriage?

What is at the foundation of anything that lasts the test of time?

“ When all the water has gone, only the largest stones will still remain in the riverbed.” 

African Proverb

Think about the value we place rock. As an international community, our faith in stone is a common and shared experience. Stone has a tangible beauty, and has the energy to capture our deepest desires and display the beauty of our most talented. It represents our loved ones, and allows us to cast hate on those we shun.

As I started to think about stone and our culture, it was pretty easy to come up with some really powerful and memorable concepts. These are just a few that came to mind straight away:

Gazing upon Medusa will turn you to stone
Moses carried the word of God on two tablets carved in stone
Headstones are the physical worlds representation of loved ones who've passed. Their life's story carved into the stone like a tagline.
Rocks are a child's must have first collection. The Mini Starlite had rocks in her pockets for years, always searching, always collecting.
Remember this little diddy "Sticks and stones may break my bones..." We know now that stones hurt for a minute, while names can hurt a life time.
Stonehenge, Easter Island, Mont Rushmore, self-made camp fire rings
Rolling Stones... Stone Temple Pilots, lol I know, I digress

Regardless, I bet most, if not all of the above said stone references immediately invoked some kind of visual memory.

If you attended my wedding, you would remember receiving an intention stone to be held throughout our ceremony. The power, friendship, energy and love continue to surround us each and everyday. There are times when I wonder, how did we get through this or that? There are other days when I am so full of joy and blessings, I wonder why me? It's of no mystery to me where it comes from, the stone at our foundation was set with intention and love, by family and friends. I can't imagine a life built on anything else.

A wedding isn't an everyday occurrence. A dream, wish or intention can come at anytime for any reason. Because of this, an intention stone, prayer stone or wishing stone is the perfect gift from Spirit. It is readily available whenever we need it, and it can be found anywhere our feet be placed on ground.
The magic behind the stones is the the ability to personalize the process of getting one. Stone before the intention/intention before the stone? Doesn't matter. What matters is that you take the time to look. To search, inside and out.

How to set your intention stone:

Hold the stone in your hand, close your eyes and visualize your intention. Take a deep breath, hold it for five seconds. Take one more deep breath and top it off, setting your desire firm. Exhale to the count of 5 seconds, releasing your wish to the universe.

The rest is up to you. With the stone set, you can give it back to Mother Earth knowing she will keep your dream safe. You can write your intention on the stone and keep it where you'll be reminded of it. Start a prayer pile, and keep adding to it as you set your intentions. What you do with the stone has endless opportunities, as long as you harm none.

Have fun looking for your prayer stone. Enjoy the process of making a wish. And may all your dreams come true.

Love and Light,
Amanda

A #lifeset is similar to a prayer or intention. It is what we ask or do in order to move life along.

What do you need in your life right now?

Have you taken the time to ask?

Do you ever feel guilty when asking for help?

Page of Pentacles & his Elements

My journey with PoP has been a simple one. As is his nature, so is the understanding of his message. There are qualities of Tarot that need to be considered, especially when taking on a modern, new generation of thought and querents.

One such consideration is PoP's sex.  Is he male, is he female... does it even matter any more?  Is the traits/personality and the meaning of the card what's most important? At this point, considering he is my first on this 78 week journey, I really feel strongly committed to a male energy. I really just want to flat out call him Peter. If I asked him, he would probably say, 'then call me Peter and move on with it already'.

As I move through the Arcana's, I thought it would be fun to assign herb/plants to each card.  I'm sure this has been done, and there is an official chart, but as an Indigo, I love and appreciate that I can create a chart that makes sense to me. I hope this will help and guide me along my journey, as any advice or guidance given will come from a part of me and my spirit guide.  I will consider and use information sought out by the masters before me, but I look forward to finding my own way through the mysteries.

After having searched high and low, I finally found an herb that is both Masculin and of the Earth element.  The Honeysuckle.  According to the The Forgotten Language of Flowers, the Honeysuckle represents spirit vision, devoted and generous love. Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs gives the Honeysuckle the following powers: Money, psychic vision and protection. Need I say more?

With my fascination in crystals, and again I'm sure each card already has an associated crystal linked to it. But again, this is a personal journey and an indigo grid. Peter of Pentacles leads me to Citrine. This energetic stone represents abundance and attracts wealth, prosperity and success.  When PoP is pulled, it is a very positive message letting you know that financial wealth and success is on its way. Young in his age, he represents merely the start of your journey, but it gives you a heads up that you're on the right path. That the new venture you're about to take is a good one and will provide if you stay committed. Take the time to learn and devote your attention and abilities. The journey of the PoP is slow and meticulous with care spent on the details.
   
 **PoP didn't show up in your reading? You can still energize your home with his spirit! Place a Citrine crystal in the wealth corner of your home, the furthest left corner from your front door.**

When Page of Pentacles shows up, allow yourself a sigh of relief. You're on your way, and Spirit is with you. If you really want to excel your progress, do what you dreamed of as a child. There you will find joy and lasting success.



Love and Light,
Amanda

An Ostara Tarot Spread

Ostara, the Spring Equinox

This used to be my most hated time of year:

• School (post secondary) is just about out, which meant I was at the tail end of my student loan money, which meant I needed to look for something asap in an effort to beat out all the other college students
• Spring forward, yah, move the clock ahead and lose an hour... right, not cool
• Spring clothes, gross.  That meant fresh pinks, flowers and pretty little shoes.  Ultimately, no more turtle necks, and bye bye boots

As it were, give me pink, give me lace and give me floral flowy anything!  I retired my turtle necks a few years ago, and have not missed them a bit.  I just finished my last student loan payment, yah me! And, having a child, I've lost sleep so many years ago, it doesn't much matter to me if we gain or lose an hour.  And it goes without saying, I am now a shoe )o(  I love them, strappy, pretty, sparkly and high.  Stilettos and Snow, no go :(

Ostara, my first celebrated Sabbat as I make my journey down this new path.  I don't feel overwhelmed by it, in fact, I welcome the joy of the balance it celebrates.  It feels flirty, sensual, alive and new. I love the balance of light equalling dark and all other balancing forces this turn represents.  As a Leo I am destined by the Sun.  As an #IndigoSpirit, I am guided by the Moon.  I am driven by the power of both, so this transition has an intense meaning for me.

To celebrate, here's a personal spread for Ostara.

Each placement of the cards are balanced, allowing for an internal/external POV, the essential base behind all IndigoSpirit readings.  It also coincides well with the balancing of light and darkness at Ostara. This spread can be a general, seasonal, spread.

** A Gift in Me, A Gift to you **

Peter Pan - the Page of Pentacles Reverse

A little bit spoiled.  Not really committed to anything accept having fun.  Desperate for a "kiss".  Flying by the seat of his pants.  Excitedly lazy. Sound a bit like a little boy in green tights?

I thought so too!

The Page of Pentacles really seems to me someone toying with life. Not really serious or focused on doing what needs to get done to move forward with anything.  Life, education, career... it's the diabetic that's told his type is reversible with a few simple changes and he puts back a 2L of Coke in response.  Why? "Because I can and you can't tell me what to do!"

Like his counter part right-side-up, he's a tell it like it is little dude, but with no tact.
PoP upright... What are you cooking?  It doesn't smell very good.
