Wow I was STUNNED yesterday morning!!! Had an awesome surprise in my email inbox $$$ from ITALY!! Archangel Sandelphon has found a new home and is enroute at this very moment to ROMA!! Whee!! I’m SO excited….

Archangel SandelphonSo this actually happened to be one of my own personal favorite paintings – Archangel Sandelphon is the angel of sound and music and has graced my healing room since I moved in to my present house.  This particular painting has certainly been INFUSED with sound and healing energies!!

One of the things that is so TOTALLY cool about the internet is that I have the excitement of sharing my love, art, works, words, music, and teachings with people from all over this beautiful planet!  My most recent clients have come from Denmark, South Africa and the other day I worked with not one but two! people from Australia.  Truly amazing!

I still have a number of original Archangels, Ascended Masters, Ascended Mothers and Faerie Vibrational Power Paintings for sale – each has been embedded with crystals and infused with Reiki & Shamballa energies and has been toned by the crystal singing bowls and all but for Azrael have received a breath of intent from me that they bring forth healing in to the world (Azrael = being the Angel of Death didn’t receive the breath because death is when we no longer have the breath so it seemed fitting).  The paintings can be viewed at my little online gallery – http://www.awgallerydirect.com

Archival quality prints of my paintings as well as a few of my photos (still working on getting more of those up online) are available at http://www.fineartamerica.com/profiles/amethyst-wyldfyre.html

Bon Voyage Sandelphon!!! I’ll miss you but know that you will be ENERGIZING Italy soon!!!

Right outside my very own window!

Wanted to send out a quickie BlogPost to connect with all during this lovely little summertime rest period that generally sets in during Independence Day week here in the US! (Ok I’m being a bit lazy on the words but I think you’ll enjoy the pictures!!) Love and infinite beauty to you as you celebrate your independence wherever you are in the world!

Ok – indulge me please – Just one more…… This is on the rose bush I brought up to Suzanne Falter Barns for a house gift when she invited me up to be the “Energy Shifter/Sacred Space Holder” for her Platform Leaders Group Retreat….. I bought it the afternoon I was leaving from Ponemah Farms in Amherst – on my way to dropping of the cat at the kennel…. I “heard” that I was supposed to get a yellow rose bush for her – this was the only one there.  Gotta LOVE the name….. Skies the Limit!

A couple of years ago I had to come to a very tough decision – after 2 years of trying to make a “go” of it with my Art Gallery/Healing Arts Center the time came to let it go and move on to what the Universe and my spirit had in store for me next.  What I discovered was after making the decision to let it go I had a sudden and enormous FLOOD of creative juice and began to paint again.  Funny how that works you know – I opened the store as an art gallery to display and sell my own work initially along with the work of a lot of other artists (31 to be exact) and I ended up not painting at all for most of the time I had the store open!

Anyway – as soon as I made the decision – paintings started to come – A LOT of paintings – 45 in a two week period – and they were unlike any others I had ever done before – these paintings had some really special characteristics!  Each of them are embedded with crystals, have been infused with reiki & shamballa multidimensional healing energy,  have a “resonant” number and every one has been infused with the sound vibrations of the crystal singing bowls and with the breath of intent for healing blown into them  (with the exception of the Angel of Death who received no breath).  Representations of various celestial and etheric energies – 15 Archangels, 17 Ascended Mothers,  7 Ascended Masters, 11 Fairies and 12 Peace Prayers all emerged eventually and then when the painting flow ceased the words started to come!

Out of the ashes of The Amethyst Wyldfyre Gallery & Healing Center, a book was born entitled Celestial Voices – An Invitation to Ascension from the Archangels and along with that birth I stepped into and claimed my role as an author.  I wrote and channeled these beautiful messages over about a six month period – 45 messages in all – each designed to assist, activate, ground, facilitate and guide your individual Ascension process. 

Then I went on to learn about self publishing and all that entails finally producing my first book – which includes 15 full color plates reproducing for the reader all of the original Vibrational Power Paintings that started the whole thing off to begin with!

WHY THIS BOOK IS SO IMPORTANT
Celestial Voices has already created some powerful shifts for people like Wendy Stevens of Gardenplum.com who says this book is her “Spiritual Rock on Paper”! Read more about Wendy’s thoughts on the book HERE.   Susan Sloane, author of Adam Awake, says on the back cover that Celestial Voices is “….an invaluable handbook of comfort, support & understanding as our reality transforms….”

BOOK EXCERPT
Here is an excerpt from the book from ArchAngel Raguel (ArchAngel of Transformation among many other things) which is just one sample of the many ways the ArchAngels love us, support us, and guide us through this book:

Greetings and love to you dearest Children, Sisters and Brothers in Light. I AM the Mary of Magdelen & I AM Here today to teach you of the power and path of forgiveness. For ever so many of you , the pain and sadness of the experiences in your life that have felt harmful in some way are being carried with you into every single new experience and relationship that you enter. This pain,

sadness, emotional charge, creates a force field within your energetic body that automatically draws to you more experiences and relationships where the same underlying pattern of the initial wounding repeats and replays itself over and over again within this lifetime and oftentimes carried forth from previous lifetimes.

The one and only “cure” for this is the practice of forgiveness. For so many of you the mere idea of forgiveness is an anathema. How could this outrage, this insult, this injustice, this mortal wound ever be forgiven? The truth is that it can and must be for you to complete the cycle of energy that was created by the experience.

Each experience, each relationship that you are a part of is perfectly and seamlessly designed to deliver to you a very profound gift. Understand that as you journey on your Earthwalk there are ages and stages that you go through, and that during each of these stages, initiatory experiences are presented for the lessons that your soul desires to learn and grow. Each experience is perfectly designed and each has within it a gift or lesson for you.

Whenever you are presented with a challenge, consider it an opportunity to revisit all of your previous challenges and to recapitulate for yourself the gifts of power that were hidden in those times or experiences. When you get caught up in your story of your present or past challenges and you nurse them they will grow and multiply and the Universe will continue to bring you more of the same. If you can stop for a single moment indulging in the drama of your story and instead look at what is unfolding, determine the emotional charge that is present and go back into your past, into your roots and find another time where this feeling was present, you can choose another path.

This new path, the path of forgiveness, is the path of power. On this new path, instead of nursing your wounds and feeding your story, you harvest the gift of power. Most often the gift of power will be found nestled in your heart. As you release past transgressions through forgiveness and you begin the process of harvesting all the nuggets of gold, all the gifts of power, all the lessons of light, your present lifetime will begin to heal and you will begin to blossom into the being of radiant light that you were destined to be.

Feed the seeds of love, feed the seeds of light with the mulch that you create in the letting go and surrender of old, dead layers of experience that have trapped your life force in endless cycles of drama and trauma. Allow yourself to receive your very own gifts of grace. Accept the nurturance and sustenance that is available to you in your very own soul coming from each experience of conflict and opposition that has been drawn to you for resolution and transformation into light.

I and all of my sisters in light – the Glorious Goddesses – are ever present and by your side to guide and protect you through this process . I Am the Mary Magdelene & I Love You.

The preceding channeled message from Magdelene is excerpted from a forthcoming book – Opening the Rose – Gifts of Grace from the Glorious Goddesses

Sometimes we need some assistance in uncovering old unhealed wounds from this or a previous lifetime – I am uniquely trained and qualified to assist in this work using techniques from the Shamanic Medicine tradition to assist you in illuminating that which no longer serves you so that you are able to acknowledge the wound, harvest the gift and let go of the energy that is keeping youtrapped in a cycle of trauma.  Please contact me to discuss embarking upon the Path of Fyre.

Sometimes it seems as if the weight and the speed of the planet is more than any single being can bear….. When you have those moments where everything is going so fast and you feel like you can’t keep up – or when everything is going sideways and you just can’t seem to get it together this is the invitation….. STOP – BREATHE.

The energies of transformation are swirling in and gusting around like a good strong March wind in the spring time – clearing out all the density, most particularly in the mental body for many who are on the path of light.  You may have noticed that those old creepy thought forms filled with negativity, harsh and critical to the sacred self have been arising uninvited in the mental body.  There is a stirring of the melting pot of the mind and those old stuck thoughts are now surfacing for intentional awareness and release.  The persistent and recurring thoughts that reduce you inside to a quivering, fearfilled, unproductive heap  are being brought up, uP, UP!    For many there will be a sense of frustration and futility that also arises – you may even begin to ADD to the negativity even further by beating yourself up for even having these thoughts – REALIZE THIS – You are connected in an inextricable matrix with the entire collective.  These thought forms that are coming – may or MAY NOT be your own….. Realize that a part of your mission and purpose as a light being is to be one of the conduits through which the healing of humanity takes place.  You are the sacred witness to the massive releasement of the underpinnings of the fear matrix – these negative, self defeating, fear inducing thoughts!!
What to do??? What to do??? -

Number One – BE AWARE – Realize that these thoughts – emerging as it seems from nowhere and everywhere – are being fed and energized even further when there is mass “agreement” on their supposed truth.  – So do your best to stay de-tached from the collective energy that is generated through the news media and other forms of “information” broadcasting.

Number Two – BE AWARE – Realize that you have a CHOICE – do you wish to ADD your energy – to energize, perpetuate and ruminate on these thought forms – to speak about all there is to “fear” and share and commiserate with your friends, neighbors, colleagues, etc.  about how “bad” things are getting “out there”.  Or would you prefer to withdraw your energy, storing it and directing it for your highest good in productive or meditative practices that leave you with a clear mind and a sense of empowerment and satisfaction in doing what you are able to do in THIS moment.

Number Three -  BE AWARE – notice, check in, monitor, be vigilant about your OWN energy field.  Feeling GREAT one minute and down, heavy or disheartened the next??? This is something you do have CONTROL over if you stay aware and there are many things you can do to RESHIFT your energy back to it’s NATURAL state of JOY, BLISS, PEACE, HARMONY and PRESENCE.  Time in Nature at the very least is a POWERFUL shifter.  There are other practices as well including meditation, exercise, journaling, deep breathing, hot salt baths.  Figure out what works for you – USE IT!!

Number Four – BE AWARE – Take EXCELLENT – No EXTRAORDINARY, EXCEPTIONAL, EXQUISITE Care of YOURSELF!  Get a LOT of rest – walk away from the computer, drink plenty of pure fresh clean water, eat LIGHTLY & ORGANICALLY, exercise, sleep some more, sit in mediation or prayer, be EXTREMELY Gentle with yourself.

The whole month of March leading up to the Equinox is expected to be quite energetically blustery – moments of intense energy surges, followed by lulls, followed by frenzies of activity and moments that may feel like you are approaching madness.  It will be good to be very clear on boundaries during this time and to practice holding your personal center and clarity.  Less will be more – anything that you initiate during a surge moment will have the impact of 10 times the effort that you are expending – anything that you attempt to move into being during a lull will be nearly impossible to budge – be GENTLE with yourself – BE AWARE.

Less is MORE – LESS IS MORE!!  Give yourself an IMMEDIATE TIME OUT if you start to feel at all frustrated and hampered in your forward progress – because that’s exactly what’s happening you are being hampered by UNIVERSAL forces that will leave you feeling like a beached whale if you try to oppose them.  When the surge comes – RIDE IT!! With GLEE!! Let out a whoop and a hollar and have FUN by GOD!  By 20 March equalizing will begin and you’ll feel like you have just come of the Crack the Whip at the carnival – maybe a little dizzy – but having had quite a ride.  Enjoy the journey!

Spring is a GREAT Time to Clear Out Your Spiritual Closet – a shamanic healing session – illumination or extraction work can be highly beneficial in removing the “hooks” in your electromagnetic field (lightbody) that get you caught in the whirlwind and spit out on the shore.  These sessions are wonderful either in person or over the phone – the work is equally effective either way.  Phone sessions not only allow you to save fuel but they are also recorded in the event that you’d like to revisit the work.

Crystal Singing Bowl work is also highly effective at clearing and aligning during tumultuous times – the bowls provide beautiful harmonization and vibrational healing work and are delighted to be of service.  Relaxation is vitally important to your well being – decoupling from the fright or flight response allows your body to deeply rest, restore itself and repair from the harmful overabundance of stress hormones that can be activated when you lose your balance and ability to think clearly.

Clarity Coaching can be highly beneficial when you are caught, lost, confused, or just cloudy on what your next steps are.  Working with your “upstairs team” as well as offering practical advice for your life journey!  I’m now booking appointments for all sessions at least 2 weeks out so if you are looking for some SPIRITUAL SPRING CLEANING – now is the time to set something up for yourself in my schedule!

Remember too that I make energetically supportive Spirit Essence Necklaces and Amulets for men or women to assist you in navigating this particular leg of your epic journey!

As we move through this final week of the 1st of 4 Mercury Retrograde periods this year the energy is strongly favoring releasing at every level in every aspect of your life all that doesn’t serve you.  Dancing with Death will assist in this process greatly – working with the energies of Kali – Ma  invoking her powers to discreate – leaving behind the elemental particles that you can then source from as you begin the creation process anew.

As you do your own personal work (as I am also doing here) remember to look with your HIGHER vision at every single aspect of your life – not just your work but all your relationships. Be sure that you HARVEST the gifts from each of the experiences that you have had – energetically – go into the experience, good or “bad” and really carefully discern – is there a gift here that I missed during the experiencing of this experience? Make sure you HARVEST! These gifts will be necessary tools for the next stage of the journey so you want to make sure you are VERY THOROUGH.

Death Card From Rider Waite Tarot Deck

Death Card From Rider Waite Tarot Deck

I’m going through everything with a fine tooth comb so to speak – re-aligning and re-balancing with all my relationships – make sure that you honor anything that is definitely dead or dying too – have a little ceremony – a fire or some other kind of ceremony to honor the dead – maybe make a list of all your clients as an example – go back over the years – see what gift each one brought to you-what you learned about yourself by working with them-why they came in to your life as a mirror for you – the challenges you (or they) may have been facing at the time – notice how the transition happened – how they “flew” from your nest, the energies that surrounded their leaving you and how you felt as that piece of you was resolved. When you complete your list – go outside – make a medicine mandala – creating a circle on Mother Earth that is made of natural objects perhaps and put a symbol of each of them into it-giving thanks and asking that all energetic ties be dissolved and that any heavy or lingering energy from those relationships is returned to Mother Earth leaving only the gifts and the lessons for you to bring into your heart. When that feels complete you could hold a fire ceremony if you wanted to with anything burnable from the mandala.   You can do this same process with any area from your life – personal relationships, community commitments, finances, etc.  It’s really time to take that 360 Degree look at every single aspect of your life – a life review so to speak.  You may also ask your angels – particularly Archangel Azrael – the Angel of Death to assist you with this process.

Remember that much of this work may require that you really completely let go of “the way things work – or have worked” for you up until now – you are stepping into BRAND NEW TERRITORY – that doesn’t mean that you don’t get to carry all your tools with you if you want to but you may not need a lot of them because they may not fit with the new terrain. Sort of like if you had spent all your time living in Upstate New York – 4 seasons – you have your winter clothes & your summer clothes and your shovels and your hammocks, your snow shoes and your beach chairs and now all of a sudden you are moving to South Florida – you’d definitely leave behind fully 1/2 of your stuff wouldn’t you (maybe a lot more!)? That doesn’t mean that the old winter coat didn’t serve you and serve you well – it’s just that now it doesn’t make sense to have it at all anymore -right?

Choco-chinchi - Otorongo - Mother/Sister Jaguar - Queen of the Jungle!

So be ruthless with your pruning work – call upon Jaguar medicine to help you sort and discern – She will help you to know what needs to die and she’ll take it all for you – all the thoughts, feelings, emotions, beliefs about who and what you are, patterns of behavior – everything! Dance with Death – let death inform your present inner and outer work – call forth Death to help you to reap and to harvest. Ask Death to clear your landscape and prepare you for the spring planting season – the mulch from this pile is going to grow you some GREAT BIG EARS OF CORN I can assure you of that – don’t hold onto anything – if you feel like you are attached to something – go in and have a chat with your fine self – find out why you are attached – what are you missing? Often you’ll find you missed the treasure – so honor even the attachments for they are showing you something that needs to be seen.

Personally until I feel really complete with my sorting, sifting, re-aligning and honoring work I am not going to jump into what’s next. It will naturally emerge exactly on time I’m quite sure and will be well and perfectly guided. Enjoy your Death Dance – (perhaps you can play some music to help you along with your process!)  For those who need a little added boost of assistance in dealing with what is crying out to die in your life – often times a shamanic medicine healing session is in order – now taking appointments!  If you like the painting at the top she is for sale – Original as well as FINE ART REPRODUCTION PRINTS

Recently on Twitter (follow me on Twitter @AWyldfyre) I “met” a wonderful Goddess who had some amazing words about valuing your work – whether you are an artist, a healer or anyone else who is self employed I feel that these words were quite valuable to contemplate – so I invited her to be a guest blogger – let me know what you think (comments are VERY welcome!)   leonieavatar1

Abundant Goddess: Sacred Pricing

Hola gorgeous goddesses!

Today I got an email from a beautiful soul who is starting on the path of selling her artworks, and wants to know how on *earth* to price them. Do you pull a number out of thin air? Work out your costs + projections – deductions + profits x headaches induced by lefty-brained logistics = perfect price?agoddesshergypsyheartgoodsmall

And I started thinking about how this isn’t just about pricing artwork. This is about every time we need to put a number value on our work. You don’t have to be an artist to have this question. Maybe you’re a healer. Or a massage therapist. Or a babysitter. Or a designer. Or any kind of businesswoman, really.

So let’s circle… and talk Sacred Pricing.

The time I didn’t honour Sacred Pricing.

So, once upon a time, Leonie didn’t sell her artwork. She gave it away. Whenever anyone mentioned they liked her artwork, she gave it to them. Even relative strangers.

Why did Leonie do this?
Because she thought that was the nice thing to do.loveistrue
Because she loved making the artwork, so she wanted to share it freely.
Because she was uncomfortable with putting a price on her gifts.sacredpricing

All the above is true. In fact, I gave artwork away up until four years ago. I felt fairly okay about the whole arrangement – but I had little bits of sadness about it. Like the part where I felt a little bit used up by it. And the part where I felt like I hadn’t honoured my paintings properly. And like I’d just given away my babies to families that I wasn’t really sure about.

I was starting to feel in my soul that maybe this wasn’t the right way to do it anymore. Like there had to be a better way for me, for my spirit, and for my art.

The words that changed me.

As they say – when the student is ready, the teacher arrives. One twilight, I was driving back from a labyrinth. It had been my first outing with my women’s circle, and I was bundled up in the back of a car with my two mentors in the front. {I’ll use totem names here, as I’m more comfortable with that today}.goddes-melly

Eagle Woman turned to the older Jaguar Woman and said “Leonie’s been having problems charging for her artwork. I told her you would be the right one to speak to about that.” Jaguar Woman is beautiful – silver white hair, wide blue eyes. She turns to me, and in her Scandinavian accent asks me “What is this problem Leonie? What are you charging right now?”

I blushed. And stammered. I tend to do this when caught off guard by honesty. “Ummm… nothing. I give my art away.” “And why do you do that?” “Because it’s… easier. I don’t have to think about it then. If people want it, they can just have it.”

Our headlights glowed along the stretch of road. We were driving through a large paddock, kangaroos and farm houses and old trees visible through the soft light. Jaguar Woman began to speak, and I listened.

“You must charge for your art. In everything – everything – there needs to be an exchange of energy. An equal one. One that fills me up. One that fills you up. If I give you a massage that nourishes and sustains and relaxes you, I ask you for money to nourish and sustain my life too. We must both be involved in the exchange, otherwise it is one sided. We must both be invested, so we both receive value. If I do not allow you to pay money for my service, I do a disservice to myself, but also to you. You must contribute too, in order to be fulfilled. You will value the things you pay for more. And my life will be better because I have helped your life be better. And your life will be better, because you have helped my life be better too. Everything – everything - must be an equal exchange of energy. It is sacred. Money is the manifestation of energy. Money is sacred too.”

Pricing to sustain and enrich you…

Since Jaguar Woman spoke those words to me four years ago, my mindset has been changed about money, and charging for my gifts and services. It is continually being tweaked, changed and evolved – as most things are in life. As we evolve, so do our attitudes and our insights about the things around us and in us.

My advice in pricing is this – price your services and products so that it sustains and enriches you. Price so that you feel happy selling at that price. Price so it feels like a true energy exchange – that what you are giving to another – they are giving the same value to you. Price so your life will feel joyful from it.artimitateslife1

Leonie’s tiny bit of pricing practically…

From a practical level, make sure you include all your costs in, and then work out if the profit number sustains you.

I remember selling prints a couple of years ago. I forgot to work out prices of postage for the kind of tube I was sending. In the end, I lost $4 for every print I sold. That profit number obviously didn’t sustain me. :)

Just remember – every sale has a cost. Write up a scratchy list of them, so you know what energy you are truly giving out and receiving in.

A little note on gifting.

I’m so not anti-gifting. What I’m into is giving when it feels conscious and energy-filled from both ends.

Sometimes I still *gift* artwork to dear friends and family – but now I only do it because I WANT to do it. Not because I’m uncomfortable with the putting-a-price part of it. Not because I think I SHOULD. I do it when it’s true for me.

Passing the talking stick…

Over to you, gorgeous goddesses, if you’d like to share your experience or questions about sacred pricing… All words are held in a container of love.

Just like you.

Wishing you deep abundance always ~
Leonie

The Hanged Man - From the Rider Waite Tarot

The Hanged Man - From the Rider Waite Tarot

There has been a LOT of energy around the Masculine in recent weeks – with the “return” of the light on the Solstice in December we have been experiencing an acceleration and activation of energies that are calling forth a reconciliation and transmutation of all the imbalances that have been held by this aspect in the collective.    As each of us carries both the masculine and feminine energies everyone is experiencing something of a shift within and without.  During my last 4 Winds class – Working with the Sacred – we had an opportunity to gather in a group and to call down the energies of the collective into our smaller arena to see what was “up” so to speak.    During the week we played out the energies that we were perceiving in subgroups – some of the themes of the week that we explored were the Dark Feminine, the Mother,  The Emerging Feminine, The Dark Masculine, Confusion and the Emerging Masculine.  As shaman and lightworkers we were transmuting in our own personal work but  the work was also being done on the collective dream too.

As the week unfolded there was a cough that went around the room – now in our work with the 4 Winds we are taught that there are four levels that we can work with – the physical, the emotional, the mental and the spiritual.  Our task as a shaman is to keep the work at the energetic – that place of Spirit where we are 99% consciousness and 1% matter – it is here that we have the greatest level of effectiveness in creating and facilitating change within our selves and with our clients.  Each level is like a nesting doll – so if a client is experiencing physical symptoms the links go all the way up through the emotional, the mental and into the Spiritual.  The reason why shamanic work is so powerful is that we intervene at the “blueprint” level.   Like dominoes when the intervention is at the blueprint or energetic level everything else (giving space for the time delay) eventually re-aligns creating greater ease, grace and harmony in the body, heart and mind.

For me, because I am so aware of the fact that we can shift at the energetic, when there is something physical going on then there are some really deeply ingrained old energies that are coming forth to be recognized, cleared, transmuted and illuminated.  So here we were in this room full of Shamanic practitioners and a cough was traveling through us.  Because we were working with the collective energies this told me that something really big was up.  I didn’t realize just how big until I returned home from my week away.  Within 24 hours I birthed forth an incredibly powerful and quite harsh (for my style of writing/channeling) prose poem which I’ve included at the bottom of this post.    It literally shredded open my heart chakra to birth this out.  Thankfully I had a “cosmic” date with two of my sound SisTARS (Bindy Johnson & Sarah-Elizabeth Whitcomb)  who came to see me about 2 days after the birth of this baby and they assisted me in re-weaving, re-energizing and re-aligning my heart at a whole new level of light and compassion. Creative expression is one of the ways that we are able to transmute energies – the reason why violent films and games are so popular is because they allow us to hold these energies at arms length, however they also trick us into believing that these energies are “out there” rather than inside us.

As we entered into this new year it was abundantly clear here in my own little corner of the Universe that the Sacred Masculine reconciliation is at hand.  There are so many beautiful aspects to the masculine that we want to honor, uphold and cultivate.    The ability to take action, the ability to create form and substance, the ability to be strong and sweet at the same time, the ability to support and to achieve goals – there are so many more and I encourage you to make your own list of wonderful masculine qualities.  At the same time the masculine has been carrying for thousands of years the blood of many on their hands – they have been (for the most part up until recent history when women joined the ranks as well) the warriors and the fighters, the soldiers and the mercenaries, the assasins and the killers.  This is a HEAVY,  HEAVY load to carry for the collective.

During our class there was a discussion about the Native American practice of one member of the tribe being the “burden strap” – the one who carried the burdens of the entire tribe throughout her life (usually she was a woman).  We must come to realize that our men  and especially those men (and now many women too) who have been in Service have been carrying this burden for the collective.  It is time to clear these energies once and for all – for peace to be acheived we must no longer bury our heads in the sand especially as light workers and conscious beings

The Sacred Heart of Compassion & Service

The Sacred Heart of Compassion & Service

and point the finger at the government, the soldiers, the men (and the women) who have been providing this “Service” for the whole.  It is time for each of us to truly LOOK at this part of our own psyche – to ‘bury the hatchet’ within so to speak and to come to peace with our own anger, rage, and killer instinct.  Mother Theresa I believe once said that she had great compassion for Hitler because she knew the Hitler in herself.   The Hanged Man in the Tarot card is the symbol of the time to break old patterns of behaviour – we have been collectively “stuck”  in this Archetype of the upsidedown Sacred Masculine and the time to UpEnd this beautiful aspect of our sacred selves has come.

So the work of this year is to transmute this energy.  I have a medicine siSTAR friend who has written a blog post about how flower essences can support our veterans and who has been guided to create a Call to Action for all lightworkers to assist in the transmutation of this energy.  In order for us  to do this effectively we MUST be willing to actually LOOK AT what it is we are transmuting – with clear eyes and an open and compassionate heart.  It is not about any one individual or group of individuals – it’s about facing down this energy and literally extracting it from the collective – opening a massive portal and sending it up to the light.    It’s also about holding the sacred space for our brothers (and sisters in light) to re-align with the new energies of peace, harmony, higher consciousness, co-creation, and unconditional love.  There is a lot of shame, guilt, rage and sadness that is now on our plates to transmute.  We have been preparing for nine years for this – we are ready – we have the tools in our tool box – we have the support of all the legions of light.  It is time.

If you are searching for support to transmute any old stuck energies that you are encountering within your own navigation of this part of the journey I encourage you to seek assistance from a trained energy healing practitioner – Sound, Light, Color, Herbal, Flower Essence, Shamanic Healing, Reiki, Spiritual Psychotherapy, Bodywork and more can support this transmutation process.  If you are interested in any of my own services please feel free to contact me for an appointment – this works just as effectively over the phone as in person.  If you prefer to work with someone in person and you are not in my area of the planet then please feel free to contact me and I will do my best to hook you up with someone local to you or at least point you in the direction of where you can find some help.

The Elephant In The Corner @2008 By Amethyst Wyldfyre ( please note the contents/imagery of this prose poem is quite harsh)

The Elephant in the Corner of your pretty stage – I sit – waiting for you to recognize my presence – the
size of me too un-bearable to grasp in your small plays at healing the grip I have upon your Heart.
For I AM the madness of man, the torturer and terrorist, the raper of small children, the one who gladly
thrusts his sword in to the belly of a mother and watches with glee as the new life is ripped from her
womb to lie in a puddle of blood at her feet as she screams and tears at her face and hair ripping her
own breast open with the pain of my name.
Suffering, the slow and steady drip of life force eeking out of her body slowly – ever so slowly she is
eaten, eaten, the blood of her belly sucked, the oily lymph of the GreatMother sucked by my vampirish
mouth brought up by my drills, the oil flowing in the streets, poisoning the land, slick upon the ocean,
consumed in the bellies of your TRANS portation filling the air with the stench of your consumption until
your breathing is labored and you struggle for even a modicum of oxygen to sustain you after I have
taken down the great forests and laid to waste the lungs of the Mother whose trees breathe you as you
breathe them.
I am the noxious fumes, the gas and the slow drip of poison filling your veins as the cancers eat you as
your food supply becomes empty of nutrition and filled with the saturated fats of my corporate minions
who have enslaved you with the salty taste of French fries that never decompose because they are not
real food.
I AM the man who stands with a loaded gun, my phallic projectile wanting nothing more than to pierce
your flesh, to tear the gentle fabric of your vaginal openings, to rip open the soft belly that then oozes
pus & blood and the organs that can no longer be held in place. I delight in slow and agonizing torture
and misery. Death is TOO GOOD – too easy for you. Death is the joke, for you think that through Death
you can escape from me and yet time and time again you return to be eaten by me as I slowly steal
every drop of your soul’s essence from you.
Shattering you into a hundred billion broken bits of flesh and crushed up bones. I fill the sack held by
the Burden Strap with an endless supply of violated, starved, burned, diseased and damaged children. I
AM the piercing, poking, prodding endless question that drives you through this life and the next, that
eats away at your brain cells, rotting you to the core, putrid flesh hanging from the broken bones of
babies, molested by children, raped by men whose rage is so deep and wide and endless that mass
suicide and annihilation seem to be the only answer.
I sit in labs in coats of white devising poison pills and bombs, fusion and fission rolled into the giant
mushroom clouds of devastation that is the big bang that celebrates MY party. I AM the putrid stench of
the diseased dragon’s breath that is stuck in your throat and the cough that travels around the room
because I WILL be expressed through you whether you like it or not.
I AM every unhealed wound.
I revel in showering myself in the infinite tears of a billion Heart’s Sorrows. I laugh and scream with
delight as Psyche grovels at my feet asking in her puny voice for forgiveness that I will NEVER grant. I
AM Judgment that says it is time once again for another ethnic cleansing so that I may feast on the sons
and daughters, the mothers and the fathers, the sisters and the brothers who try to pretend with their
silly plays and shamanic ways that they might illuminate the depths of my DARKNESS. HONOR ME or
you can NEVER BE FREE.
I demand to be HONORED, NOW, with a ceremony that celebrates the crushing blow of the booted foot
that stomps the skull of another woman’s child. Take me into your heart and find the gift in the
disembowelment of the servant boy who dares to look his Master in the face. Find the blessing, the
lesson in the rape of babies and the cries of their broken mothers who could not save them from this
fate of falling intoMY hands. Do you like my triangle? Which role will you play today? Victim,
Perpetrator, Rescuer? Aren’t they all the same?
Taste my putrid, stinking rotted flesh and consume it. BringMY Body and blood in to your own mouth
and swallow it down, for I am the bed upon which that Joke of a Fisher King lies waiting for a stupid
question from a foolish man who has no idea what he is doing and is terrified to his very core to
recognize that all of his “acts of chivalry” have merely been ways to feed my insatiable appetite, my
greed for the life force of the human soul. Each seeming victory ringing hollow in his heart which knows
the truth of the bad seed planted and gone afoul. Grown out of proportion and stoked by the talking
heads who wish to fire up the frenzy of fear upon which I am Nourished.
Honor ME – HOLD ME – HEAR ME!!
For until you do, no mother’s child will ever be spared from the rampage of my endless rage at all that
professes beauty and light. I stomp on the flowers in your necklace and spit on your dreams of peace
for I AM The waking nightmare that says over and over in your limbic brain that you MUST destroy each
other in order to survive – AHA! The GREAT COSMIC JOKE- for who are you killing? Only Your SELF… .
And I laugh and willingly turn the Wheel of Days for one more round of the endless drama that plays
over and over and over again in the minds of puny men who only wish to wield the power that I hold to
devastate and desecrate, to rape the land, to steal and cheat and lie as I paint a pretty picture of a lovely
young and fertile maiden who will endlessly entice you to buy and buy and buy some more as she sends
your babies off to war – feeding the machine that I have become.

For this week’s Visionary Vibe Report I’ve been guided to share with you Archangel Michael’s prognosis for the year ahead which is also posted on my AngelAnswers Blog

visionaryvibe_logo_sm_noline

The coming year looks to be quite a whirlwind – with lots of activity on both ends of the spectrum – lot’s of new and creative energies coming forth in the midst of lots of de-struction, dis-integration and decomposing.   The key for you is to find that sweet spot – the balance point, the fulcrum if you will that will help you to stay centered and focused on your highest growth and evolution.  Please remember that there  are tools for the journey available to you – I recommend my book Celestial Voices – An Invitation to Ascension from the Archangels which will give you practical as well as spiritual advice and guidance for navigating the ups and downs of the coming year.  If you prefer to receive your “tune-ups” on the sound wave check out my cd Divine Union.    Be sure to check out the free Archangel Attunements on my site as well.  If you’d like a little more personalized attention through your own personal journey in the coming year I’d be delighted to act as your “Psychic Midwife” – schedule a session today!

Greetings Child of The Light, I AM grateful that you have created this opening for a moment of communication with myself and your other brothers and sisters in light here in the Celestial Realms. Your inquiry on behalf of the many is well received by us and we thank you for this opporutnity to bring through the messages and information that will serve the highest good of all concerned. Our first piece of wisdom is as always to remember to Breathe. Breathing in the Light and maintaining that Clear and Profound connection to Spirit that will allow you to bring forth what wishes to be shared about the next period of time as the end of time rapidly approaches.

For 2009 – This will be a year for many who will awaken to the presence of angels, guides & messengers from the Spirit Realm. More than ever, the energies will be perfectly aligning to activate this awakening process. What was once considered paranormal or even fringe in many belief systems will become much more normalized and accepted by many more of the masses than ever before. The presence & the guidance of spiritual helpers will begin to become common practice and more and more highly visible role models in every aspect of society will begin to “come out of the closet” with their own Spiritual Experiences. These role models will begin to speak more openly about their own “super” or “extra” sensory experiences, using language that will serve to increasingly normalize things like angel encounters, psychic abilities, intuition, gut instincts, spiritual and animal guide contacts and awakening to higher levels of consciousness.

There will be simultaneously a further breakdown and erosion of the old paradigm of command and control, of force, of imbalances and inequities thorughout the globe. Increased exposure of dishonesty and dishonorable actions will be unfolding especially in the earlier part of the year. There is a calling to task for everyone to look deeper, to truly discern and reveal any hidden agendas or secret motivations within themselves. As more people awaken to their own multi-dimensional super senses (or psychic abilities/gifts) they will be able to literally “see thorugh” any other’s attempts to spin a web of illusion. Trust, betrayal & issues of honesty will continue to be at the forefront in the early months. Practicing transparency and radical honesty in all your dealings is well advised.

As the spring equinox approaches a Great Balancing will commence. This balancing will begin to naturally and easily rectifyany inequities for those who have set aside their own personal agendas and ego needs in favor of service to the Source and the larger common good. For those still attached to the old ways this balancing will be more dramatic and possibly even quite painful to experience and to witness. Practicing detachment and being centered & clear within will allow those who will be close witness to the de-construction to navigate through without too much damage. The end result of this balancing/rectification process will be a time of great celebration.

By midsummer those who have been busily at work on creating the new, new paradigm businesses, new ways of relating to the human family, new ways of stewardship and honoring of all of Earth’s children and resources will begin to see the flowers and fruits of their labors. Those whose reality is crashing down are going to be looking to those who are creating the new for guidance and assistance in coming into alignment and re-creating their world. Co-creation, dream work, visioning, group work & partnering, cooperation and a deep committment to honest dealings and truth based relationships will begin to emerge as the “New Way”led by the Heart and by the Spirit Guided whose primary focus will be to empower and to midwife the birthing of these newly awakening souls into the fullness of their true selves.

There will be an ABUNDANCE of blessings and spiritual growth for so many in the coming year and many more will begin to seek for deeper meaning and more positive ways of being in the world as the awareness of their own personal ability to create and dream their world into being and their intimate interconnection with all life in the Entire Universe becomes so much more readily apparent and a part of their every day experience rather than just a concept of the mind or imagination.

Support for these changes at the 3D level can be found by connecting with and learning about the personal energy field, the field of light that informs and creates the physical experience. There are many teachers, healers, catalysts and activators who are poised and ready to assist in navigating these transformational times with greater ease, grace, balance, and harmony. Energy healing modalities will continue to gain in recognition and availability as compliments or alternatives to “modern” medical practices. In particular Sound Healing and Sound Therapy will become even more recognized as a powerful tool for shifting vibrations for both individuals and groups. Messages in music and song will become ever more prevalent for those who wish to open to “seeing” and “hearing” in a new way. The areas of music, sound, & video transmitted either through traditional channels or through the internet will be highly focal points for streaming through the energies of the higher consciousness that is presently in the process of being birthed forth throughout the planetary matrix.

There will also be a great calling for validators to come forth to assist those who are newly awakening to connect with, learn about, manage and employ their psychic super senses without fear. Abundance and blessings will be redefined for many with the focus shifting quite dramatically from the acquisition of material goods to the pursuit of a more holistic, balanced and Spiritually connected way of life. Self-care, self-responsibility and self-knowledge will become new focal points for attention as the Victim, Rescuer, Perpetrator energies are transcended and the opening of the heart initiates a process of awakeing to self-love and freedom from suffering for all beings.

Our greatest message to you now is to TRUST that a higher plan is unfolding and that guidance is always present within your own heart and from your team of guardian angels as each next step in your own personal journey is illuminated. I AM the Archangel Michael & I Love YOU!
