The Last Two Weeks of 2017 with Venus, Saturn and Mercury. It’s Almost Over, I Promise.

The Last Two Weeks of 2017 with Venus, Saturn and Mercury. It’s Almost Over, I Promise.

by Monika Carless | Dec 18, 2017 | Confessions

We’re nearing the conclusion of 2017 and the most intense Mercury Retrograde I, and many of you, have felt in years. We have a bit of unfinished business yet. The Moon, Earth, Planets and Sun are in intricate relationship to bring us to a higher spiritual...

Merry Solstice! Here in the Northern Hemisphere, Merry Solstice! 

Here in the Northern Hemisphere, life is at it's zenith. The sun has kissed the fields, growth is abundant, vibrant, in its fullness. 

The light has grown day by day since Winter Solstice. We have dreamed of warmth, unfolded, opened, been fed by the sun through our eyes, skin and mouths.

Our animal bodies have softened, no longer bracing against the cool winds of spring. 

Midsummer for my Slavic ancestors was a day of bonfires, dance, drumming, merriment, love-making and feasting, the first faint hum of early harvest days to come, soft on the air.

The wheel turns, and once again we begin the slow journey toward the dark. Do you feel the subtle shift in the ancient knowing  of your bones? 

Blessings upon you, dear traveller of time.

"May the long time sun shine upon you
All love surround you
And the pure light within you
Guide your way on" - Mike Heron

Sweet Aine, Mid-Summer Goddess, Our prayers for a Sweet Aine, 
Mid-Summer Goddess,
Our prayers for all Women
and children around the world
Go out at Summer Solstice 

For their protection
Their safety
Their sovereignty
Their freedom 

And so it is
Dark moon is a perfect time to set down some thing Dark moon is a perfect time to set down some things with finality. 
Burn the bridge.
Resist sifting through the ashes.
It is done. 

Blessed Moon, Witches!

This path of connecting with your Inner Wise Woman This path of connecting with your Inner Wise Woman isn't something secret that only certain folks know. It actually is instinctual. You already know that emptying, place and re-wilding are strong touchpoints on the journey.

Like rubbing ancient stones, walking a labyrinth or participating in rituals, the magic of the Wise Woman is revealed through presence, groundedness and the ability to listen deeply.
Summer Solstice – Mid Year, and Mid-Summer on the Summer Solstice – Mid Year, and Mid-Summer on the traditional Celtic calendar. It also represents Mid-Life, but you can be any age and contemplate what mid-life season means.

Being aware of the seasons is one way of understanding the shifts that occur within our body, psyche and spirit, especially when these shifts arrive through subtle dreams and longings.

At mid-life, it is time for women to free their throat chakra, to speak, express themselves. Men at mid-life are to open their heart chakra, to live through the heart. When the call to this is ignored or unheard, we reach a mid-life crisis – self-abandonment, which manifests in any number of ways.

At midlife, we face our own mortality. How should we face this realization? As the longest day wanes, we begin the descent into darkness again, until we meet the Winter Solstice.

The sun does not try to reach back into its youth or zenith, but keeps shining with whatever capacity it has, in full acceptance of its natural cycle.

Living fully in the moment is Midsummer’s biggest lesson.

Mid-Summer Questions:

Looking back at the first six months of the year, the months of expanding light and energy, do you see a theme evolving this year?

Before we enter the months of waning light and the inward journey, bring your awareness to the opportunities for growth that have come our way. Is there a focus you see emerging?

Blessed be!
Ten years ago, I knew nothing about book writing a Ten years ago, I knew nothing about book writing and even less about book publishing.

I sent the manuscript for my first book to a professional editor. He told me, “Nobody is going to publish an unknown author’s trilogy, write something else first.” But this thing was coming through with urgency, my muse was present and we were on fire to work together. I wrote about the Fae. My editor asked me… are you Irish? I wrote multiple POV. He said this was not a thing. So many discouragements. I was committed to the story as it poured out of me. I was in deep smit with my characters. They showed up so authentically, I couldn’t abandon them.

When inspiration shows up, follow it down every dark alley to the bones of its origin. It arrives when it does, and a writer must be willing to commit to it.

Honor what wants to be birthed through you. There is no one else on the planet who can write it from your perspective, your life experience and your imagination.

Accept good advice but listen to your intuition.

Create for the sake of creativity, meet your muse with intention.
