Angels In The Morning

Published June 17, 2023 | By shirleytwofeathers

Here’s a nice meditation to begin your day:

Feel yourself held gently, safely, snuggly, between heaven and earth. The comforting, nourishing earth energies of the Divine Mother rising up through your roots, your feet, your legs. The wise and confident energies of the sky–the Divine Father–pouring down through your crown.

As these energies begin to dance together, filling up your heart, your angel draws closer to you and you come into a grounded and centered state. From this balanced place, you can choose your purpose for this day.

Take a few moments to visualize the day ahead of you.

How would you like it to go?

See it unfolding just as you want it to. And now, choose the way you would like to be today–confident and capable, easy with yourself and the world around you.

Find a few words to describe the qualities you want to take with you into your day.

Surely, There Must Be A Tremendous Force

Published July 6, 2019 | By shirleytwofeathers

Surely, there must be a tremendous Force, Power, Being or Presence, which has brought forth the sunlight, the rain, or the snow of this day. There is a Something operating invisibly in this universe, sending forth all this glory into expression, a glory of which I am a part, for I, too, have been sent into expression by That which sent forth the flowers and the trees, the birds, and all that is.

I am one with all life. And just as this invisible Force is pouring sunshine into the room, so it is pouring life and being into me, and through me: intelligence, wisdom, guidance, direction, love, care, and protection. All of these are flowing in and through me.

~Joel Goldsmith

Divine Mind Within Me

Published June 25, 2019 | By shirleytwofeathers

Here is a great affirmation:

Divine Mind within me is a Mind full of intelligence and love. It loves me as Itself, and wants to give me the intelligence I need all the time. In order to be helped by Divine Mind within me, I have to believe in It. I must take the mental attitude that I know what I need to know, and then expect to receive exactly the ideas or information I need.

Make A Vision Board

Published January 31, 2019 | By shirleytwofeathers

What better way to manifest your intentions than by putting your creativity to use and making a vision board collage?

What you’ll need:

Books, magazines, or photos you can cut up
Scissors
Glue
Paper
A candle in any color

What to do:

Get ready to have some magickal, creative fun! Making a vision board is a great way to focus on your desires and what you want to manifest in your life or in the world — and you can easily turn this practice into a ritual. Begin by lighting your candle as a symbolic gesture of the ritual’s start.

Then write down a list of what you’d like to manifest and start looking through your magazines, books, or photographs, cutting out any images that speak to you or symbolically represent the things you’re striving for and welcoming into your life during this moon.

Once you have your collage pieces, arrange and glue them down on a piece of paper or card stock. Display the collage on your altar or in a visible spot in your home where you’ll see it frequently. Each time you do, focus on the intentions you set and their visual representations, and check in with yourself to track what work you’ve done to accomplish your goals and what more needs to be done.

To You

Published January 6, 2019 | By shirleytwofeathers

Whoever you are, I fear you are walking the walks of

dreams,

I fear these supposed realities are to melt from under your

feet and hands,

Even now your features, joys, speech, house, trade, manners,

troubles, follies, costume, crimes, dissipate away from you,

Your true soul and body appear before me,

They stand forth out of affairs, out of commerce, shops,

work, farms, clothes, the house, buying, selling, eating,

drinking, suffering, dying.

Whoever you are, now I place my hand upon you, that you

be my poem,

I whisper with my lips close to your ear,

I have loved many women and men, but I love none better

than you.

O I have been dilatory and dumb,

I should have made my way straight to you long ago,

I should have blabb’d nothing but you, I should have chanted

nothing but you.

I will leave all and come and make the hymns of you,

None has understood you, but I understand you,

None has done justice to you, you have not done justice to

yourself,

None but has found you imperfect, I only find no

imperfection in you,

None but would subordinate you, I only am he who will

never consent to subordinate you,

I only am he who places over you no master, owner, better,

God, beyond what waits intrinsically in yourself.

Painters have painted their swarming groups and the centre-

figure of all,

From the head of the centre-figure spreading a nimbus of

gold-color’d light,

But I paint myriads of heads, but paint no head without its

nimbus of gold-color’d light,

From my hand from the brain of every man and woman it

streams, effulgently flowing forever.

O I could sing such grandeurs and glories about you!

You have not known what you are, you have slumber’d upon

yourself all your life,

Your eyelids have been the same as closed most of the time,

What you have done returns already in mockeries,

(Your thrift, knowledge, prayers, if they do not return in

mockeries, what is their return?)

The mockeries are not you,

Underneath them and within them I see you lurk,

I pursue you where none else has pursued you,

Silence, the desk, the flippant expression, the night, the

accustom’d routine, if these conceal you from others or

from yourself, they do not conceal you from me,

The shaved face, the unsteady eye, the impure complexion, if

these balk others they do not balk me,

The pert apparel, the deform’d attitude, drunkenness, greed,

premature death, all these I part aside.

There is no endowment in man or woman that is not tallied

in you,

There is no virtue, no beauty in man or woman, but as good

is in you,

No pluck, no endurance in others, but as good is in you,

No pleasure waiting for others, but an equal pleasure waits

for you.

As for me, I give nothing to any one except I give the like

carefully to you,

I sing the songs of the glory of none, not God, sooner than

I sing the songs of the glory of you.

Whoever you are! claim your own at an hazard!

These shows of the East and West are tame compared to you,

These immense meadows, these interminable rivers, you are

immense and interminable as they,

These furies, elements, storms, motions of Nature, throes of

apparent dissolution, you are he or she who is master or

mistress over them,

Master or mistress in your own right over Nature, elements,

pain, passion, dissolution.

The hobbles fall from your ankles, you find an unfailing

sufficiency,

Old or young, male or female, rude, low, rejected by the rest,

whatever you are promulgates itself,

Through birth, life, death, burial, the means are provided,

nothing is scanted,

Through angers, losses, ambition, ignorance, ennui, what

you are picks its way.

~Walt Whitman, 1819 – 1892
