winter solstice 2009

greetings on this 22nd day of december!! yesterday i spent the day pondering my past year and looking forward to making changes in 2009. one of the ways i celebrated the change of season was by out-of-body traveling to newgrange :) it was quite spectacular!! there is nothing quite like being part of such an ancient rite...

SOLSTICE WEBCAST: Today is the northern winter solstice. When the solstice sun came up this morning over Ireland, a shaft of sunlight traveled down an 18 meter tunnel to illuminate the inner chamber of Newgrange, a massive prehistoric burial mound in County Meath. It looked like this:

Newgrange is 5000 years old, predating the better-known Stonehenge in the neighboring island of Great Britain by more than a thousand years. This makes it one of the oldest megalithic monuments in the world with a known astronomical function. Curators of Newgrange webcast this morning's event; you can watch it here.

There is a similar burial mound from the same era in Orkney: Like Newgrange, Maeshowe is also aligned with the solstice sun. As the midwinter sun slips below the horizon, its last rays shine directly through Maeshowe's entrance passage to illuminate the rear wall of the central chamber. Live images from Maeshowe may be found here.

this morning, i visited spaceweather.com and found this amazing photo/video!! it was of particular interest since during my morning meditation/grounding ceremony, i was visited by Owl, who stops in once in awhile to encourage me when i am traversing a dark night of the soul (which i seem to be doing now)... anyway, i thought this was cool and thought i would share it with you :)

MIDNIGHT VISITATION: In a remote area of New Mexico, amateur astronomer Thomas Ashcraft operates an all-sky camera for nightly monitoring of meteors and fireballs. "The other night I caught a big one," he says. Click on the image to play the movie:

"An owl descended from the sky and landed on the clear dome of my fireball camera," explains Ashcraft. "It stayed for a few minutes and then flew away." This visitor was probably a Western Screech-Owl or a Great Horned Owl, two varieties common to New Mexico. Ornithologists may be able to pinpoint the species; the owl glances down during the video for a revealing self-portrait.

Take a deep breath and let the spirit of the owl fill you.

The owl brings you wisdom as well as great powers of perception and intuition. Welcome her into your heart and life gladly!

The owl has very keen hearing and vision, enabling her to perceive what others cannot. With her powers within you, you will be able to penetrate the darkness with your intuitive senses. You will see through deception and illusion. You will uncover all mysteries and bring truth to light. Fill yourself with her power whenever the truth is unclear or hidden; she will shine the light so you may see.

The owl also allows you to move silently and unseen. When you do not want undue attention paid to you, when you wish to just quietly keep your own counsel, call in her spirit as you would an invisibility cloak.

One of the greatest powers the owl brings you is to penetrate your own secrets, to see into the beauty of your own soul and uncover there your personal truth and intentions. Feel her within you now, opening yourself to yourself, your true purpose sparkling like a treasure within.

Ah, what a blessing to be the owl!


enjoy this 22nd day of 12/2008 (an 8 kind of day :)

a terrence mckenna video.... enjoy

whew!! this came at a good time for me :)
i've been playing at being persephone for days now... lots to say but too afraid, or unable, to say a word. sometimes i forget to ground and center and remember just who i am. who we all really are...

the most important thing for us to do right now is to remember who we are ;)

the truth is out there... i just haven't found it all yet :)

i just watched Rabbit-Proof Fence.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0252444/




the entire time i found myself saying over and over "i am sorry, please forgive me, i love you"... if we are all one and we are all aspects of oneness, then anything that has been done by anyone has been done by me. "i am sorry, please forgive me, i love you.."

i began to think about another movie i had watched several years ago, i'm sorry i don't remember the name... it shattered my heart. i could barely watch. it was a film about the american indian boarding schools. technically, they were NOT their schools, they were just put into them. this one was difficult, as well, but so worth the time.

this made me think about all of the peoples who have had their ways of life ripped away, families split up (my biggest fear. fear not. fear is the mindkiller...) and worse, throughout our human history. is there a worse?? how could we do this to each other??? how can we possibly continue doing this to one another????

we (our True Selves) made a decision, eons ago, to experience separation from Source, our Higher Selves and have spiraled down into chaos and onto this prison planet... we chose this experience and we have experienced it to the fullest.

it's time to close the theater, wouldn't you say? put away the props and congratulate everyone on playing their roles so well, lifetime after lifetime...
pat each other on the back, thank each other for participating and realize that the experiment went beyond all of our wildest expectations. we have become almost completely devoid of any memories of our Wholeness, who we Truly ARE. the experiment was a complete success!

the awakening began, slowly, now it's spreading like wild-fire.

the part of us that isn't ready to let go of what we have created here is fighting to keep us locked in this third dimension, unable to release the ego and the fear yet...

you can see proof of this, just look around, the powers that would keep us here are moving at breakneck speed to prevent those of us who have awakened, and those of us beginning to realize the Truth, from breaking free from the structure of this dimension, this density.

we have a choice. some of the subjects i hope to bring up here on my blog pertain to the choices we have. the hope for our species, for our planet and all thereon. to share some of the things i have discovered, hoping that i can either contribute previously unknown information or a reminder of forgotten knowledge you already possess...


aren't these incredible times we live in?!?!?

peace, love, wholeness and many, many blessings my friends...

seeking direction...and overcoming imperfections

i am so frustrated with myself.

my weaknesses become glaring when i sit here at my keyboard and begin to 'write'. my mind is akin to a dandelion... all fluff, lots of little parts, easily scattered in any breeze that wafts past.

i have thoughts. incredible, wondrously brilliant thoughts. ideas i can't wait to share with the world. conceptions that many others have also conceived, each of us brings our own perspective to the kaleidoscope of creation, each no less vital to the Whole.

this is where my lack of higher education is glaringly obvious to me, to you, to everyone. not that i didn't qualify for that higher education. my life choices took me in a different direction. this makes me wonder "WHY?" some innate flaw in my psyche, in the structure of my physical brain??

flaws. i was devastated when i learned that dimples were flaws... to learn that i was flawed for all the world to see and that such a fuss was made of my flaws... is that when i began to curl inwards??

ah, i am beginning to sound sulky. and i am not. i am a ray of sunshine... and i even have my Isis coffee mug in hand....
now, there's another subject!! Isis/Sirius... go check out Secret Sun for some great info on that subject!!

i woke up this morning pondering what would be interesting to write about? should i focus on one subject (ME??? focus on ONE subject!?!) should i write this as a diary (how boring!)? i have no real field of expertise, except survival and motherhood...

my point is that i am not educated enough to put my ideas into big words that sound intelligently thought out.
i am not able to focus my thinking into anything resembling a well thought out and thoroughly researched thesis.... instead, i will leave that to the brilliant minds who can be found everywhere on the internet, and i will just work on creating something beautiful, uplifting and hopefully thought-provoking and interesting.

today's blog isn't that... lol. this, i suppose, is my excuse for my writing style, my total informality ...

ex·cuse
To explain (a fault or an offense) in the hope of being forgiven or understood: He arrived late and excused his tardiness in a flimsy manner.
To make allowance for; overlook: Readers must excuse the author's youth and inexperience


i will leave you with this thought by Oscar Wilde...

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight,
and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

my entrance into the blogger's world... losing my blog virginity.

it's scary here!! i feel intimidated by the sheer number of amazing bloggers on the internet.

i have been thinking about what it is, exactly, that i would like to say here... nothing comes to mind.
no, that's not true. the problem is EVERYTHING comes to mind! what to begin with??
which aspect of my life do i want to share with the world? where to begin??

what am i doing here? what is my goal? my purpose? what do i wish to bring to the world through my blog?

i wish to bring a new consciousness to our crumbling world. there are many paths toward this new consciousness and i am dancing down many :) sometimes i feel a bit incohesive (is that a word??) like a cloud of ideas and thoughts and dreams.

i am posting a link below, if this is in violation of any laws please let me know :) i would never intentionally violate any rules!! it does link into my product page, but you don't need to pay any attention to anything but the first video... in the meantime, if my first blog in bloggersphere gets me into trouble... well, that's the way i roll, lolove! i just, honestly and humbly and a bit foolishly, haven't figured everything out here yet!

check out this awesome video!!

thank you for sharing my very first 'blog' as a 'blogger' ever!!
