THE CEREMONY….&#xD;
&#xD;
From Mary Novak…&#xD;
I am a collective Shaman Dreamkeeper of the Black Jaguar Nations and will be in trance on stage drumming a collective Shamanic Ritual to open up the portal of energy below us for the collective shift. "I have been working on the Mounds both in St. Louis and Cahokia, Hawaii, Columbia South America, Guatemala, Vancouver and the Northwest over the past ten years preparing them for the 2012 shifts. I will create within my power an alignment as a vessel for the great spirit or power spirits to move through my Shamanic Drumming Ritual, where my apprentices will be standing at the Water Altar for everyone to say a prayer, leave a prayer or an offering to the water spirits before or after Sherry's performance.&#xD;
&#xD;
As I am in trance drumming I will be working with the water Spirits, the primordial Grandmothers in Spirit, the Black Jaguars or Panthers, the Primordial Wolves of the old growth Forrest before the Mounds existed and calling in prayer the shifting energy of the Dragons and Phoenix. I ask for your support by chanting quietly the name of a god or goddess or indigenous Water Spirit sometime during our ritual. At the bottom of this email are some Water Spirits or you can use your own.&#xD;
&#xD;
From Sherry Summers…&#xD;
In my body, I am listening to the drum, the sound of the river and the voices of all that calls through me.... "Oh, Mother, let me shake out and break the grip of ego that keeps me beguiled by this Illusion of the bodily existence. Let me dance you Mother Maya, let Maya herself dance through me so I am at once, celebrating her, being her. and transcending her". "Vibra" (Vee-bra), the Portuguese Capoeira name given to me means, "One who Vibrates with the love of..." This body pulses, a Yogini conduit for Shakti – primal sacred energy. Snake –Woman conjures through me and recreates me in every moving moment. Spider – Woman dances me on her web vibrating, laughingly, through me and all creation.&#xD;
&#xD;
In the space between the Arch and the great Mother Mississippi is a great portal, an access point of energy... great gusts of coming and going, of borderland places between realms, the chance to shape-shift. The water gives us the knowing of constant change, that which heals. In this dancing, I intend to give my body back to the primal sacred from whence it came. I become a Sensing Organ for the Divine... I never know if it will be slow or fast, elegant or grotesque; my job is not to know, but to let go the grip of the mind and be a conduit for Divine Energy only. Once connected, this is an offering, a burning of myself and a washing away of anything that holds me back from fully embodying the truth of oneness.&#xD;
&#xD;
I invite you, the audience, to participate by, first, holding sacred space, witnessing, and offering your prayers of healing to the Mother of the Waters while I move in form. Then, Divine Dancers, Greer and Dianna will join me. If your senses can be entranced, then you can "lose your mind," too, and at the end of my expression, you will be invited to Dance your Shakti, your energy in whatever way that comes about for you: slow and sweet, bubbly and full of joy, or intense and throbbing. This is an invitation to heal the earth by allowing the flow of Mother River to take place within.&#xD;
&#xD;

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;This is my personal Dream Journal...&#xD;
&#xD;
Wednesday Sept 17&#xD;
I am dreaming, I am sitting at a computer making reservations to fly to Puerto Rico, the calendar that I am working at says February 4th to February 13 2009. I am awake. Notes: This is the second dream this month and I have to honor this dream now. So I made my reservations today to fly to PR to visit my niece Kiki with my daughter Erika next February.&#xD;
&#xD;
Monday Sept 1&#xD;
I am dreaming and I am with a group of people near the ocean along side a hotel. There are lots of visitors and I am not sure where I am. I become lucid and then I see a truck go by and it says San Juan PR. My niece Kiki lives here so I start to ponder about how I can find her street and apartment. I've seen photos of her street but I cannot remember her street name. I start to walk to wander Old San Juan. I am awake.&#xD;
&#xD;
Friday August 28&#xD;
For the past two weeks I have had many visits in this world from Bats, Nighthawks, my neighborhood Black Cat and the continuance for eight weeks of white butterfly's and red cardinals. Bat Medicine has brought me a new awareness in my dreams and last night when they came a storm was brewing and the wind was blowing. I asked the wind what it is they wanted to show me. That night wind and bat showed me next year that my work would increase very much. I thanked the bat for its prophecy. When I stood in the wind as the storm grew closer, the sensor lights of three neighbors were coming on and off for about an hour.... as ghosts were flying everywhere. When I went to sleep that night I was roaming on the astral planes and it was a full night of dreaming.&#xD;
&#xD;
Tues August 18&#xD;
I am dreaming, I go to a grocery store with my eldest sister Diana. She is acting differently, more free and lucid and I notice the difference because she has always been organized and accomplishes a lot which is very positive as well. I decide to just do my shopping and when I finished at the check out she was still not around. I went outside and it was just after dusk and the store was almost closed. I stood wandering what happened to her and then my cell phone rang. It was my dead mother who said hello, how are you. I said I am fine but Diana has dis-appeared.&#xD;
&#xD;
Note: This is a foundation personal dreaming. The parts of me that were organized and productive had to be destroyed about ten years ago in order for me to heal myself and then enter the shamanic initiations. It destroyed my life which was both good but also basic survival instincts had to also be let go in order to push through the shamanic reality of the universe. Now that I am back, my missing intimate aspect of my the positive old aspects that help me define my work now, must be found. The phone call from my mother, on the other side, was calm and not concerned at all which represents my higher self at a spirit level. So I let go about any organization or need for those types of things as I move forward in my work.&#xD;
Tues August 5:&#xD;
I am dreaming and I am at a place that is older French buildings in Saint Louis. There is a party at one of the large halls and my family, daughter, a few nieces from Chicago are with us. We go into the large hall and there is a fancy party going on and we are all now dressed elegantly. I see my ex-husband in which we are friends, both in this dreams and the waking dream. Then I see my first love after my divorce who I go to kiss. I stop and say I have to go pee and as I am in the bathroom I see my ex lurking in the dark, I go into the room and he is all sweating and angry and the lover is just looking. The phone rings and its my daughter and she keeps saying something and I keep saying to speak louder. She says her cousin my niece Paloma just died from a suicide.&#xD;
&#xD;
Notes: This is such an easy dream. I started my detox with the master cleanse four days ago, where you just drink liquids for 14-30 days. My ex and lover are my Mars and Saturn which is the way I use my energy in the physical world. Mars always ruled when I was younger, now Saturn is the best approach, slow and steady for the long journey in life. My niece has always struggled with her weight and so she is the symbolism that my subconscious is letting me know that It understands my request of detoxing everything in my body for another round since January 1st and i will probably lose the extra weight from my last eight year dream trip where I was not really in the world! Good dream for the physical waking dream.&#xD;
&#xD;
Monday, July 28:&#xD;
I did energy healing on my apprentice Dee. I never do my shamanic work nor seer work when I do energy work, ever and for good reasons. I always just hold the emptiness needed for a grounded sensitivity to sense each chakra and what state of movement or blockage they are in. Today for the first time ever I had a visitor. It was a woman all in white with white hair, she was far in the distance and came close about 20 feet. When I was working on the solar plexus, she laid her hands on top of mine and I could feel her energy going through. I shared this with Dee and told her I thought maybe it was her or her guide, because as I stated I only hold the black void or nothingness states in healing. That night around 10 pm I turned off all my lights, my computer and went sound to sleep. Around 3:30 am i awoke to the sound coming from my dining room, where my computer was on playing the song.... "Playing the Angel" the song Precious loudly by Depeche mode. I have spirit visitations in my house and so I got up and went into the kitchen half asleep, I sat down and listened in the wee hours the song. It was a special song to me, it was written by the singer by the singer of the band, when he got divorced and it was how helpless he felt when he saw his children suffer from the terrible divorce with his wife. I always associated the song with what happened to me with my own children when Spirit called and destroying my life resulting in not living with my own two children since they were ten and twelve. Last night when i was listening to the song, I heard it with new ears in the present moment, long after my healing and my children and even their dads healing as we all moved on and are now like a family again, with karma paid within each of our souls. This time when I listed to the song it was as if spirit sent to me, the white haired angel lady and her healing for both of us. I cannot speak for Dee, but for me it was the healing of even the painful experiences I had received in my healing journey through the shamans initiations. How sweet is that. Here is the song: www.youtube.com/watch&#xD;
&#xD;
July 24:&#xD;
There are two things I did out of the ordinary this past week that has effected these last two entries, one was I went to a fire ceremony with my apprentices, which I never attend ceremony's anymore because of the nature that my healing journey is over and have spent many years in circles and being open and vulnerable now to the collective, it has effects on me. The second was I went to Cahokia Mounds. Both dreaming's are below.&#xD;
&#xD;
July 22:&#xD;
I am dreaming, I am with a group of people, maybe 100 all being gathered to something or somewhere. I become lucid in the dreaming, I am sitting near the end of a long row of seats, there are men who are white, in fact there are only all white people on this thing. I cannot tell what it is at first. We are flying slowly about 200 feet above the earth, everything is invisible but I can tell its a ship of some kind. The men are injecting things in the people up in the front, I know whats happening now, but I don't see the alien nation beings who run this ship, they are not here. The white men in their 50's and 60's are doing all the experiments.... I'm now wondering if I was given the injection if they started in the back first because I wasn't lucid until now, when I saw them up front. Then I start to look around the environment and we are floating above New Mexico somewhere, we are lower now, about 100 feet above the ground, I can see the colors and details of the landscape as we are getting closer as this invisible ship is beginning to land near a remote area. I make a decision to wake up at this moment to leave this dreaming out of safety for myself. The others I cannot help, none of them were lucid or looked me in the eyes to make contact, not even the men doing the work on them.&#xD;
&#xD;
I then woke up, it was about 4 am and i noted the specifics in my head to myself and then went back to sleep. When I woke up at 8 am, the back of my head was killing me, my entire body seemed drained but I wasn't sick. My skull and head was hot but only in specific area's, I had to cancel all my appointments and lay down all day. Today, two days later I still feel woozy but much better. I did some self healing and ceremony's last night.&#xD;
&#xD;
July 21:&#xD;
I am awake I went to Cahokia Mounds at midnight with my son, to help him transition from the break up with his girlfriend. I saw white, clear and soft flashes of light on top the mounds, when I called our lineage ancestors from Poland to assist my son. It was now about 1:30 am and a police officer was way down by my parked car shining the light on top the mound. We began to leave and the officer just left, he saw us coming down the steps but didn't bother us.&#xD;
&#xD;
July 15:&#xD;
I dreamed three last night... I am dreaming, I see a baby that has parts of its skull coming off in the back. Then I shift dreams and there is another child, older in the desert and I begin to follow it, I go to mountains and deserts and the colors are very distinct and again its skull is coming slowly apart and beginning to shed like a a snake sheds its skin. Then the dream shifts again and I am at a womans house and she has a cottage near a lake, I asked her about it, she said it was Michaela's old cottage, but Michaela is only gone for the summer, if I wanted to rent it for the summer. I said is it free, and she said no, so I decided not to take it and kept wandering on.&#xD;
&#xD;
Notes: The cottage I live in was a healer here named Michaela's old place and the woman in the dream didn't quite look like my landlady but when I woke up I knew symbolically it was her.&#xD;
&#xD;
Some Skull Symbols on the web: Psychological Meaning: The psychologist Carl Jung decided to become a psychologist after dreaming of skulls in a deep cellar under his house. The skull represented his desire to probe the secrets of the human. To dream of a skull may also be a symbol of mortality and your spiritual contemplation of the meaning of life and death. It may also refer to finality and the things in life that cannot be avoided. Mystical Meaning: To the gypsies a skull represents wisdom derived from ancestors. To drink from a skull means sharing in their wisdom. A skull breaking apart is free from the lower nature of the human experience. In Ireland, it can be a symbol of truth for it is believed that if a wo/man takes an oath on a skull but is lying, s/he will die soon after.&#xD;
&#xD;
For me, this dream this month, was just after doing my big ceremony with my sister at the Black Madonna Shrine. We called in our four polish lineage ancestors and I have a feeling this has to do with my shamanic lineage from Poland and my blood ancestors and them beginning to engage more in my dream life and waking dream.&#xD;
&#xD;
July 7:&#xD;
I had long dreams teaching my other niece Katy who is a mother of one and pregnant with her second. She is a surgical nurse and a very deep woman. We talked for a long time in the dream walking and I was teaching her the stories and lessons of my shamanic journeys.&#xD;
&#xD;
JUNE 18 - 28:&#xD;
My Gemini Moon this month seems to be turning into stories on my web of both the night and waking dreams are turning into Articles. Also the woman who hired me to do a psychopomp for the spirit in demon shadow pain changed her mind. I already did half the work in dreamtime and removed her putting her out of harms way. She said her and her lady friends will do a 'receiving' whatever that means i have no idea.&#xD;
&#xD;
I let go and this morning did ritual and dreamtime last night to let the 17 year old out of bondage and back in her room with the 12 year old girl who she murdered. I did part of the work last night in my dreaming as I came back up from the underworld holding her, as I experienced millions of black bugs were all around me, as I descended back up, to bring the girl back to the middle world. I cried all this morning, feeling compassion for both the two girls who now must suffer and wait for the lady to do the work. I told her she had to free this girl before she physically died, otherwise those two girls would be marked as murder on her soul. : )&#xD;
&#xD;
JUNE 7&#xD;
I was suppose to go to some land today, a woman hired me to do a psychopomp and I prepared last night and went to bed....&#xD;
I dream walked first to Arizona to a bed and breakfast with my sister Ellen and there was a 50 year old-ish man, tall blondish who owned the place and we chatted a bit, he gave me his business card but I didn't look at it and just put it in my pocket. Then I popped out of that and was standing at a door. I opened the door and there was a young girl about 17 short blond hair, who looked like the fifty year old man in Arizona. I knew it was her brother and I knew I was at the land that I was suppose to assess today. The maiden was stuck in a time warp, she was from around 1968 and had committed suicide. When i entered the room, she had a little girl about 12 with blood all over her dress as captive and I knew she had murdered the 12 year old. The 17 year old was mad, not as in angry but as in madness. She had killed the 12 year old and herself. I went in and freed the 12 year old and she ran out of the room to the other healthy spirits.&#xD;
&#xD;
At that point i walked toward the 17 year old who is still under the influence of the madness at time of suicide, she didn't know she was dead. It was here I went into my psychopomp, its a sort of trance state in dream walking or the waking dream, no difference. I have done it before, and at those times I feel like a high priestess at Delphi with the veil over my head as I become emotionless not by choice, but it just happen and I feel eternally connected to the all, all grandmothers wisdoms through the eons, i suppose its a trance to do the dark work without judgment which seems very primal grandmother to me....&#xD;
&#xD;
In that state I carried her out of the room, which was an open natural magnetic field on the land [portal] and moved her to a sort of prison or holding tank. Then I woke up and the phone rang. It was the woman calling to cancel for the day, she said she wasn't ready but didn't tell me why. She is very nice and loves the land and animals so much. I told her my dream walking and said the 17 year old is like a girl in the mall, holding a gun, every spirit around is upset and nervous. She said this land was an orphanage for a long time, and then Washington University used it as a alchohol and drug rehab center. I told her when she was ready to call me. The 17 year old in her state is fine, but needs to go to the lower worlds to wait for reincarnation at some point in the future so she can go soul retrieval her. Most when they die automatically go, but as I stated she is stuck in a time warp in this middle world. When I do these, it is out of love and respect, a healing takes place for both the land owner and the girl and even her brother who is alive right now somewhere in the southwest. When I do the Spiral Psychopomp all the releases of energy that are like a big cloud, will return to all the living and the dead at that moment. For those alive, there will be a shift, for others a jerk, like a bird hits their window or a bike falls in front of them, something of a physical nature. For the others who are dead, they are returned a piece of their shadow cleared to reintegrate.&#xD;
&#xD;
MAY 30/31&#xD;
I am now all moved into my apartment, bought a mattress yesterday morning for the floor in my bedroom and have been sleeping on the couch for the last two weeks. Last night I finished hanging the curtains in my room, laid down to sleep and all of a sudden I felt "huge" amounts of energy that started near my closet across the back of the room coming towards me... at those seconds I didn't know if I had a room full of spirits [neighborhood's from the 1800's] or if i was sleeping on top of a huge vortex or portal because waves of energy began fluttering under me and what I thought was my own heart beating heavy, was passing through me or staying in me. I laid there for a bit and allowed it to happen and was peaceful. I then jumped up and went into to the living room and my heart was not beating at all. That confirmed I was with a group of heartbeats spirits that were a group, or something to be understood. I did a clearing, brought my rattles, sage, and then pulled out the big one, my sacred scepter staff and everything was gone. Their was an intense lightening storm the hour I experienced this.&#xD;
&#xD;
Today Sunday I got clarity about what it was. Three years ago when I finished all past lives integration I was dreaming and dream traveling visiting Piedras Negras Temples in Guatemala, that I was going to visit six months in the future. One dream travel I went down the river in a canoe and stopped along the bank where the temples had been, i sat in the boat waiting for something. At that moment I sensed a large expanded energy that was light. Its energy felt like a hummingbird but it was huge. It was both a part of nature but had its own individual consciousness. It started to come towards me and I was so mesmerized that it had started to enter my body. One rule, nothing enters my body of energy form. I kept saying wake up, wake up and i opened my eyes and the energy was still coming over into me and it was complete. I laid in shock and then with wisdom over the next two days realized it was my 8th and final past life of energy form without body. This past Friday I realized today, that this was the same thing, it was me in my most expanded consciousness form in the reverse coin, the dark or the yin energy of myself. My journey through the dark mysteries of all teachings in experience is now complete both light and dark.&#xD;
&#xD;
I am completed. Note that the multiple heartbeats of the energy that entered my body in a collective consciousness reality aligned and completed union with my four bodies and my own heart and this came from the yin feminine polarity not the yang masculine light which is associated with the heart of christ consciousness. Its the opposite.&#xD;
&#xD;
All teachings work in oppositions. You must complete both.&#xD;
&#xD;
MAY 28&#xD;
I am dreaming, I am in a house, I glimpse to see just the side view of the back end of a black wolf or black dog moving into a room. I felt intensity and made myself wake up. I am awake.&#xD;
&#xD;
{Notes: When I woke up my body was tense, I thought, no....... a guardian dog to the underworld? not again, I can't spend another four years there. I took a deep breath as I laid in the dark and thought no, all my deaths and death journeys to the real underworld [hell] in mother earths belly are over and done. In stillness I said I will wait and see who or what this dog is attached to. When I woke up there was a message from Jen, my apprentice, who finished her 8 years and is now moving alone into her last four year healing journey into the mystery [dark moon]. I called her, we talked, I said its time to learn to do a Psychopomp, she is ready.]&#xD;
&#xD;
MAY 27&#xD;
I am Dreaming, I am at a town square, there is a large totem pole at the center of the town like in Europe where the prominade is of stone, this stone was granite. My sister Ellen runs up and tears all the straw out of the scare crow that is the top of the totem. I watch her and climb up to try to re-stuff but I don't even make it half way up and I slide back down. I became lucid and looked at the meaning of the dream in the dream. I am awake.&#xD;
&#xD;
[Notes: my article yesterday here was to fear or not to fear. Not my fear but others, like the 23 year old abuser. I let go of defending myself from here forth with everyone, known or unknown. My I-Ching for the 2008 year said specifically "not to employ inferior people" in my life and the message in the dream was let the scare crow fall, let everyone fall rather than egage in their inner battles played outwards. Those who do not respect really just don't respect themselves. The other part of this is that Jerry the dead spirit that came into my home the other night, its time for me to work with the dead. In my 13 year healing journey I have always turned away from channeling and medium-ship and worked with the energy of group soul retrievals and would battle a spirit if it prevented someone from journeying... but now things have shifted, my awakening journey is completed, I am grounded and I am able to stand in the center and only engage if it is the truth and let all the half and quarter truths within others go and see it clearly.]&#xD;
&#xD;
MAY 18&#xD;
Went to dream incubation with Kathy, Dee, Jen and myself in a Dream Incubation. I had one dream and I was watching Kathy as an observer while she was alone in her kitchen re-painting her Rattle in a stillness and sense of peace.&#xD;
&#xD;
MAY 16&#xD;
Seems so much is going on this moon as far as oppositions of both light and dark right before me and within me as observer in the ordinary reality [waking dream] I only have one dreaming to share this cycle, I saw a huge, ancient turtle come out of a cave, it went back in and scientists had put oxygen on its mouth and hooked electrodes to its paws. The turtle then came out of the cave and it was a small turtle and I tossed some bread to it and it jumped and all its feet and head popped off.&#xD;
&#xD;
APRIL 30&#xD;
Jacques Claudio came into my dreaming. Woke up, looked on the internet, and only one man had that name. I searched both on google france and google usa. He is a very very rich real estate man in Miami. I wrote the website an email saying that he had come into my dreaming. I got an auto reply that said, thank you for stopping by. Last time this happened it took one year for the results of my prophecy. I make no attachments to anything that happens in my dreaming, I just wait patiently.&#xD;
&#xD;
APRIL 20&#xD;
Last night I and my three apprentices did group dream incubation for vision. It was the full moon in Scorpio at 5:25 am and Passover at 3:00 am. We did an ancient Goddess ritual putting our blood on the Sacred Tree's [paper], asking for Death to come. We called the Goddesses Lilith, Shakti, Hecate, Medusa, Durga, Kali to come visit us to bring us our vision and protection. Kathy and Dee and I were at Kathy's house. We went into Kathy's Moon Medicine Wheel that she built in her backyard and began ceremony. I turned on my cell phone's speaker so Jen and her son Jimmy in Memphis could join in the Ceremony. We called in the Spirits of each door in and set our intention asking for our vision to come into our Dreaming tonight. After the ceremony with the Full Moon all of us went to bed, the three of us all in Kathy's water bed and Jen in hers and Jimmy in his. Here were our Visions...&#xD;

I did my Tibetan remote viewing practice holding with intent "time" as I went into dreamtime. At first I couldn't quite make out what I was seeing. I've remote viewed on Earth many times but what was before me was at first indistinguishable, but as I let go and fully just observed and absorbed the vision I began to see that it was our Solar System but not in the physical level it was the energetic lay lines and electro-magnetic fields.&#xD;
&#xD;
It was amazing; there was so much stuff there. Visually my mind is used to imaging the planets, asteroids, sun, earth, rocks, and organic life and even some inorganic. But when I saw it, it was filled with things everywhere, many planets, I would say 1000 more, billions of asteroids, colored shapes out of light all like a soupy ocean of organic living organisms, but all at the size of planetary proportions.&#xD;
&#xD;
I was truly amazed. I have astral traveled out of earth and out of the solar system many, many but my visions have always been relative to relativity, meaning it could 'se' at the level of a physical matter and what I could relate to. This was pure life in all its living and breathing forms. When I came back to waking consciousness or awake and lay in bed in the dark room it reminded me visually of a spiral galaxy with all the lights filling all spaces. I realized our own solar system is beaming with much more life that what many can percieve and see and how limited photography and infarred is compared to the human souls seeing through remote view. Even I did not think that remote view had levels of consciousness where I would see more and more of the invisible. Why I thought that I had no Idea, I guess you experience something for a few years like remote viewing and you forget that there are many, many levels of depth.&#xD;
&#xD;
I am always truly amazed and in awe to such abilities that the human has if they honor, heal and ultimately respect the feminine aspects of our being of our emotional body and its gifts.&#xD;
&#xD;
What I saw was all the dimensions of our solar system at the same time, exposed to my remote viewing.&#xD;

APRIL 18&#xD;
Earthquake today at 4:45 am this morning woke me up. And another one at 10:24 AM. I am apartment sitting at a friends and I call her the crystal queen, because she has the large collection of crystals, stones, few two foot amethysts, water fish tanks filled with sliced white crystals and much more gem stones all over her apartment. I am the kind of person that if I hold even the tiniest of quartz crystal in my hand I can feel the energy surge all over my body and its uncomfortable because I am a dreamer magnetic which is like crystal and I am so sensitive to crystal energy on my body I have to rub my hand on my jeans.&#xD;
&#xD;
So I have a feeling I needed an intense two week crystal healing while I stay here, for my 2 year physical purification and thanks to Tanya's I am getting it all in one intense healing. I have had NO DREAMS since I have been here. I said a deep prayer last night and asked to be awoken from my dreaming so I am connected especially because of April 15th dreaming. As a Shaman I cannot afford to be asleep in my dreaming at night. So when the Earthquake shook and I woke up, I was having a regular dream and recognized it before I was fully awakened. Thanks Earthquake!&#xD;
&#xD;
APRIL 15&#xD;
I woke up with lots and lots of scratches in uniform lines all across the inner arm from my wrist area to my elbow. All in a motion as if some claws were at the center of the underside of the arm and scratched towards the outer. They were bright red and now almost gone in fact they healed really fast almost all the way by the end of the day. Since I was not awake in my dream walking I don't know what happened.&#xD;
&#xD;
APRIL 14&#xD;
I've been experiencing a lot of shifting in the Waking Dream since the New Moon in Aries. It’s a purification and new beginning month. Letting go of a lot of old relationships lately making room for new ones. My intimate circle of family and friends remain the same, but life is really clearing out what is left of my old life and I of course welcome and embrace change this month, the first moon of the next four year cycle.&#xD;
&#xD;
MARCH 30&#xD;
For ten years when I dedicated to the foundation of dreaming the first of three levels, this gave me a complete understanding that everyone in a dream was me. Now that I have gone through the advanced levels of dreaming, the second level, and the shamanic initiations, the third and top level. Today, I know which dreams are first, second or third level dreaming. They are all three and one at the same time. My experience, self healing and inner wisdom now, know which level to focus on. This was a dream walking:&#xD;
&#xD;
I was sitting in a group observing a male dream teacher. I could see his soul and no one else in the group lecture could. He was a nice man, but very wounded. He began to share a dream of a very painful and dark dream but left many details out. I sat and listened to the dreaming. After he left one of his students came up to me and said, that dream was about his older brother.&#xD;
&#xD;
This morning as I write, I will probably meet this man, although because I only saw what his soul looked like in the form of a man and not the physical normal self of him. Dreams are very multidimensional; this is why I teach that one's INTUITION is more important when working with a dream, those logical details, although both must be worked with for balance.&#xD;
&#xD;
MARCH 28&#xD;
Had a nice dinner date with my friend. Went to sleep that night and saw our astrology charts and sun was trine moon.&#xD;

MARCH 23&#xD;
Jennifer is my graduated Apprentice after 8 years of teachings, I dreamed with her last night: I am standing on a Beach near the Northwest and Jennifer appears and she and I are silent looking into each others eyes. She then turns into a Mermaid and creates a circle in the sand with her finger tips. She arranges sea things, like shells and tubers etc in specific area's within the circle. She then begins to hover by stretching her body in a horizontal with arms stretched above her head on her right side, with mermaid tail towards the outside of the circle about maybe 6 inches above the sand. She then begins to go into a meditation and spins slowly in a counter clockwise rotation around the sea circle.&#xD;

MARCH 19&#xD;
Rich, who I have just met recently, came into my dreaming last night. I have one rule in my dreaming... NO SEX. The reason for this is I am a DreamKeeper Collective Shaman and my dreaming does not belong solely to me, but to Humanity as well and therefore I have to practice the highest ethics and responsibility around all of its smallness and greatness. Earlier that evening after our coffee and visit he dropped me off at my home and it was the first time in my life when I went into dream walking, that I said yes to sex and it was wonderful. So even though he probably won't remember, I validated and asked him permission in the dreaming when we dream walked together and to me this is a very positive sign - what the Chinese call "Auspicious Dreaming" when it comes to matters of the Soul. I know myself really well and my Dreaming as a master. I have had only two men connected with me on a Soul level in Dreaming, one was from Ethiopia who I dated for a short time, he was also a Jaguar Medicine person like myself and he gave me the exact Temple in Guatemala in the dreaming, in which I was to travel there 6 months later. I had also prophetic dreamed with him and met him about 4 months before we met in this waking world. I dream walk with many clients, so its not unusual, but when I am soul connected to a man with love and relationship its much deeper because its continual waking and night dreaming connection. The other man was from Iran who I dated for two years and in love with, we had a personal relationship and it was wonderful to be connected in the dreaming, but he wanted children, and my kids were teenagers, so I set him free. About 4 months ago, I met my past love from Iran in the dream walk and he introduced me to his wife. When I woke up, I wrote him and asked if he had gotten married, and then added at the end, congratulations. He never wrote me back. But then 1 month ago I received an email inviting me to their baby shower.&#xD;
&#xD;
MARCH 16 UNIFIED DREAMING&#xD;
I entered the unified field on earth, I was standing alone at the bottom of some rolling hills, it was foggy and twilight evening. I saw Death slowly moving over the last hill toward me, I had no fear as I stood waiting. Death slowly came closer and time stood still in motion as death looked in my eye moving almost at a stand still. I looked at Death and it was me.&#xD;
&#xD;
note... my unification is completed with this dream. When I went to Berkeley two weeks ago, my Apprentice in Memphis Jennifer had told me two dreams from the night before, all I had remembered was the second vision, and totally was focused on that one... in the first vision she saw me as Lady of the Underworld [Death] and I had come to initiate her and her greatest fear, just like I was initiated as a shaman by the Lord of the Underworld 12 years ago and 2 /12 years ago. She said when Death came closer to her; she saw that it was me. Jennifer is a Prophecy Dreamer, all I remembered when she called me in Berkeley two weeks ago, was the second vision she had. So I called her the day after this dream and she told me again, it was like the first time I had heard it. When she called me, I was an hour from Pinnacle State Park, ready to do Portal Magnetic Field Shut Down and Ceremony in which she saw me do, the night before. [See dream below]&#xD;
&#xD;
MARCH 10 ND&#xD;
Another regular dream relating to my detoxing and body purification and cars represent the body. I am going to use Sun Bears teaching of how to express a self analysis dream on this dream, you always start of with I am Dreaming and end with I am Awake: I am dreaming, I am my sister Diane, I am organized, I am responsible. I drive my Vehicle [my physical body] off the regular street and onto natures grass, we tumble a few times but I am not hurt. I get out of the car as myself and as my sister Diane, there is one more person there but I cannot remember who it was. When we finally get to the other side of the rolling grassy hills, a car dealer asks me as Diane if I want another car and I just wait for the Diane who is me to respond. The Diane who is me see's a bus and see's my niece Kristin, her daughter who is talented, loving, sweet and dramatic and she goes to get on the bus. I am Awake.&#xD;
&#xD;
Note: Sun Bear suggests always starting the dream with I am Dreaming so you speak first person and all the dream characters are first person [you]. This type of self description dreaming of regular dreams that are sub-conscious information makes you every dream character and teaches the mind Dream Mirroring. You also describe that character in their real life. Like my niece Kristin is loving, talented, sweet and emotional, so that describes you in this particular dreaming on this day. My sub-conscious projection [like a movie projector] is showing me what I am portraying in this nightly [movie] dream.&#xD;
&#xD;
MARCH 9&#xD;
I started to remote view as I laid in the in-between waking and sleeping on my bed. I saw houses and buildings destroyed and then I saw fog and hills, like a cemetery without any headstones. Then I saw death and s/he moved towards me and came close and brushed by.&#xD;
&#xD;
MARCH 7 ND&#xD;
This was a regular inner subconscious dream which is the first simplest levels of inner communication dreaming. I was in a building/library and I heard the dead comedians voice Phil Hartman. When I asked someone, is that him, I said I thought he died. So I called him on the phone, starting with small talk to tell him he was going to die... as soon as I start to tell him... the phone goes dead.&#xD;
&#xD;
MARCH 3&#xD;
I astral traveled to the coast of California and viewed US Naval ships getting ready to leave to go to Venezuela. The second night of this dream journey which I didn't remember the second night, I felt like someone took a baseball bat and hit the left side of the back of my head when I woke up because it was sore for three days and today is the first day it doesn't hurt and the pain is gone. In this case, I better check my blood pressure, it’s been high for two years but I never take medication and never had for anything in my life. I am working at purifying and lose 20 pounds.&#xD;
&#xD;
MARCH 1 WD &amp;amp; ND&#xD;
I came to Berkeley to go to protect and shut down the portals at Pinnacle National Forrest. About an hour before I arrived, my apprentice Jennifer, an extraordinary dreamer who is gifted even beyond me, called me on my cell telling me her dream time Thursday night. She shared that I was death and had come to her, the Dark Initiator. In her next vision she said I was there, I had built a cross out of stones, there were 2 frogs on her arms and church bells. And the last thing was caste iron metal. I told her thanks for the dream information and I would make sure I was attentive to the ceremony and the images and bring them into a physical reality. My friend and I proceeded to arrive in the dark, set up camp and settle in for the night, to build the cross or ancient medicine circle which I already could see in my mind. I passed the church on the way and saw the bells, I saw the cast iron rings of fire at the campsites, and the frogs were signing all weekend. The night I arrived, about an hour after listening to Jens prophecy, I could not fall asleep, it was around 3 am and I just laid still in the tent in a quite meditation and my friend had already fallen asleep.&#xD;
&#xD;
Then Coyote came, he sang for one hour, about 100 yards from my tent. I listened to his song and after an hour went into vision, my mind and body were asleep but my soul [and third eye] and spirit body was fully aware and awake. All of a sudden I was having sex with my friend and I then became very very lucid. I have one rule in my dreaming. No Sex because I must be fully attentive and the focus of a ninja in my dream time. So I knew something was not right, because I made this agreement as a child as a personal knowing... I could see in remote viewing the tent fully, and I began to feel the vortex pull. That only means one thing: Alien Nations. I felt the presence and could see through the tent the short grays moving about and watching me outside the tent. I had never met grays, only the energy beings of the hierarchy, the high intelligence ones who are very tall and radiant energy, with high left brained logic and reasoning only. They carry no yin emotion so therefore they have no matter. I did my circle of protection before I went to bed because I knew what to expect, and knew they couldn't cross it. At this moment fully asleep and fully awake in dream time seeing everything, the VORTEX PULL was getting stronger and stronger and it was difficult. Normally in the past, I would just make the intention to wake up and I would leave this higher dimension on the astral earth planes, but tonight I decided to call to Jennifer to help. I called out to Jennifer as loud as I could in what seemed forever, because in the higher dimension there is no time or space and at that moment, the energy began to release ad I saw a light body circling in a counter clockwise around and around my tent. The faint glow of the light body was very beautiful as I looked through the Swiss blue tent as the wind blew gently on the tent at those moments as well. After a few moments, the vortex pull energy was completely gone, the creepy grays and Ships were gone and I chose to wake up. I woke up, looked at my friend who was still sleeping, rolled over, thanked spirit, thanked coyote, thanked the spirit of the wind, I thanked Jennifer and promptly fell asleep.&#xD;
&#xD;
The next morning I build the medicine cross, did ceremony calling the spirits and my ancestors of the four directions, began to send the energy outward in spirals to shut the vortex magnetic field down on the lands, walked the lands chanting most of the time in my mind with focus for each part of the sections for six hours. The second night I went to lay down and again I couldn't fall to sleep. Around 3:00 am again coyote sang but this time he brought ALL his coyote friends, and there must have been 20 and I could hear them running around... I said prayers of thanks to them and told them I was grateful for their help. I realized then, that everyone at the campsite, would be reaching REM dreaming about 3 am and coyotes were keeping all of us awake and safe, for when you enter dreaming without lucid awareness of the immediate environment, one would never know that these soul suckers and mis-users are there ready to... in my word rape you on an energetic or soul emotional body level and your mind and mental body would never know. All works was finished and completed and boundaries of the portals of Pinnacle National Forrest completed.&#xD;

FEB 29 ND&#xD;
Had a great Regular Dream... I've been detoxing since Jan 1 2008 and this inner dream wisdom gave me insight to my journey: I was at a celebration or party at a large castle on some beautiful land. I was there helping with my friend Rusty and Michelle. Another person went to show me around the grounds, and at the north edge of the property there was an apartment being rehabbed. On the outside it was very northern california-ish style, with gold leaf on the outside... I opened the door and peaked in and it was like a barn, with peat moss and pigs and horses inside. Then in the dark I could make out a faint shape of a child. I looked and sure enough it was a BABY, covered with all the dirt, I picked up the baby, took it out of the house being rehabbed and took it to the castle, gave 'him' a bath and new clothes and he was all clean and nice. I smiled at the baby and gave it a hug and kiss and loving. [The dream wisdom showed me that my detoxing of my physical body [male baby] is working and that even though it’s a new beginning [just starting to detox and purify my body] the baby/body washes up pretty good!! That makes me very happy to know my disciplines doing vegan/water and cleanse is working well by the fat healthy clean dream baby!&#xD;
&#xD;
FEB 27&#xD;
I was with a group of dead people in the local area and they were just going about carrying on their lives without a body. One of the men was convinced another man was guilty of something and looking at a piece of paper that had his fingerprint on it.&#xD;
&#xD;
FEB 15&#xD;
I stated a question to show me a vision in my dream tonight.... I went to sleep and Alex, the man in my waking dream on Feb 13, came into my dream and gave me 2 large Golden Eagle Feather Shields, they were beautiful, like a dream catcher but made of feathers arranged in a circle. He also gave me some other feathers as well. Then I held my hands about 4 inches apart and blue energy like electricity moved back and forth [like those glass balls with the electricity]. I just stared and watched for awhile and then woke up.&#xD;
&#xD;
FEB 14 ND&#xD;
I met a woman named Clara, her initials were CSL and she was experiencing mysticism but didn't understand nor had any previous experience or family knowledge, which left her full of anxiety. I woke up before I got to speak with her and thought I might meet her in the day dream but haven't yet.&#xD;
&#xD;
FEB 13 WD&#xD;
I met a young man named Alex who was looking for feathers, my friend Makala and I both offered to give him some of ours.&#xD;
&#xD;
FEB 8 - ND&#xD;
I went to northern California last night in my dreamtime, I don't know where I was but I was at a house with some land around it. I began to do my Shamanic work in the four corners, the N, S, E and W quadrants, when I got to the portal at a particular space, I asked the Bee's to protect it. I laid about 3 large branches with swarming bees and they told me that they would guard it until I arrived and then I woke up.&#xD;
&#xD;
FEB 3 - ND&#xD;
I saw that I had glued fabric fur to the back of my business cards. Very creative, I will bring that out into the waking dream and do it ~&#xD;
&#xD;
FEB 2 - ND&#xD;
I Dream walked with Joyce Owl Woman and her daughter. Joyce, who I have not met, will interview me this coming Sunday. I want to respect Owl Woman by not sharing this particular dream walking as it was very personal and I will share with her in two days. I went into a second dream walking and met a couple who look like they are northern Indian or Pakistanian, I remember dream walking with this couple before and her father was there as well. We were talking and he said EAT SEAWEED. I look at him and repeated it so I would remember when I woke up. Note: I am going through a two year purification of my physical body, so I went to the store today and bought seaweed and kelp tablets.&#xD;
&#xD;
JAN 29 - ND&#xD;
I flew to Hawaii and met the Great Fire Goddess Pele who offered me a healing. I lay down along the beach and listened to the breezes and felt the sand and soothing sounds of the water as she healed me. It was beautiful.&#xD;
&#xD;
JAN 29 - WD&#xD;
On my way to yoga this morning, at a stop light a white wolf looking dog all alone, was standing on the corner looking at me. I just smiled and bowed my head. When I signed into my Tribe.... San Francisco was my home address on the address line, even though it’s always said Saint Louis and I live in Saint Louis.&#xD;
&#xD;
JAN 27 - WD&#xD;
Went to the Black Madonna Shrine this morning with my daughter and sister and gave thanks. On the walk to the holy spring, where I would gather water for my vision the next day for everyone to drink I found a field mouse with its head cut off. Obviously it was about someone coming to the vision because mouse means the small details and paying attention and with the head missing, someone or something’s head was not in the right place for the vision.&#xD;
&#xD;
JAN 25 - WD&#xD;
I was driving my car up to the mountains on the large highway near Snohomish WA and I looked into my dashboard of my car and I saw that my car engine was on fire, more like gas stove blue flames that are even and hot. I pulled over and said these need to be extinguished, and at that moment a mountain river rechannelled itself and came down the highway and filled my car and the highway. I walked in the water and saw other people trying to drive their cars in the water and I woke up.&#xD;
&#xD;
JAN 24 - WD&#xD;
Last night in the middle of the night I heard a 'crunch' outside and I thought about my car as I drifted back to sleep. Before I went to bed I made the final Capricorn moon commitment to purify my physical body for the next two years, my last of purification of all four bodies of both the yin and the yang side. This is the yang aspect, the next two years, being the physical body itself and my respect of my physical body. I am going to start Sholin Kung Fu Black Dragon next week and I joined a Gym to support my continued eating and drinking only pure and healthy nourishment. I made this right before I went to bed around 11 pm, because my exact time of birth was going to be 1:52 am last night [birthday] and this is the gift I give myself as the completed circle at 50 is finished for my healing and karma. This morning I woke up and a car hit the house and that’s what the crunch sound was last night. I saw the car marks on the grass, and its Nissan front grill, it seems the person fell asleep driving very slowly and the heavy heavy river stone from the Granite near the Mississippi river, solid, flew across the yard and took all the brunt and wasn't even scratched. So I cleaned up the glass, knowing that cars are ruled by Mars and in dreams your physical body and Saturn, rules the physical structure of the house [Pluto goes into Capricorn tomorrow]. My entire healing karmic journey for 13 years was about the misuses of my past life of my mars/Saturn conjunction and now, I get the benefits after karma paid.... Total protection and peace within Chaos. Nothing was touched by the car or shifted in the material world.&#xD;
&#xD;
JAN 16 - ND&#xD;
I was in my dreaming and aware or lucid, and near a few city buildings that were row houses, I had asked my children’s father to come bring his truck and load some of my items that were stacked on the street near the curb. He showed up and the last two row houses had some people who were troublemakers. All of a sudden I disappeared from my dreaming and when I reappeared I knew I had shifted out but had no idea where I went or what happen [this is very unusual for me in dreaming and it’s never occurred].&#xD;
&#xD;
When I returned from popping back in, the two houses were empty and all the items I had on the cobblestone curb were gone. I telepathic to my ex and asked him if he got all the boxes, he said yes and said come over. So in the dream I ran down the street to prepare to fly and was flying far and long above the city to his house... all of a sudden again, I popped out of my dream and had no idea where I had gone and then was standing on the street where I had flown up to that point. I started again running and it was not as easy this time because my focus had somehow been shifted or altered by what, where or how long I have no idea because in dreaming and dreamtime time does not exist.&#xD;
&#xD;
Notes: When I have shifted in a dreaming or left and come back to mind dreaming or original dreaming I always have had the story, the images or scenes, or beings of where I had traveled to. Not this time. Hmmm this one is new for me, very interesting, it left me very curious! But I know that I have new progressions in my astrological chart coming... they involved my progressed moon in the third ready to shift from Capricorn to Aquarius and my Uranus is transiting 8 degree's from my natal moon and its bringing a new level of dreaming to my arena.&#xD;
&#xD;
Updated Notes: My apprentice in Memphis Jen... saved my butt and pulled me out of the dreamtime just in time. Ask for details.&#xD;
&#xD;
JAN 10 - WD&#xD;
I was sitting on a patio veranda somewhere in Arizona, near Phoenix and talking to a woman, while her husband ran upstairs to their residence. As I was listening to her, all of a sudden she started having roaches under her glasses and I focused at her face and sort of lifted my eye brows, making a gesture my hand calmly to tell her and they scurried under her face. The imagery was so strong her husband who had told me his name, was completely forgotten.&#xD;
&#xD;
Notes: Dreams that have powerful ancient animal and insect clans’ means survival and strength and should always be paid attention to. Most people are frightened by shark, vulture, cockroach, but these more primal totems always have to do with healing and transformation. For me personally in my dream there are 2 Aspects of this Roach Totem:&#xD;
&#xD;
The first is personal, starting Jan 1 - I have been taking steps and disciplines of detoxing my body with commitment, giving myself a whole year to let go of anything that is bad for my body that lacks nourishment in a healthy way.&#xD;
&#xD;
The second aspect was I had 1 unsatisfied 21 year old client from a foreign country that had come for a reading. The first got it, the second girl didn't. She wanted a spoon fed session to answer her questions, which is not my work at all. The next day she complained and wanted her money back. I suggested to the owner to give her a 'basic psychic, fortune teller or tarot reading which are about the external world and our relationship with it'. My work as a Seer in its pre-roman and Greek, grandmother ancient traditions are about one's internal world of the Soul/Emotional Body in relation to one's conscious Mind. So this dream for me had very personal wisdom about detoxing and a client. I looked up totem of the cockroach and found this appropriate for both:&#xD;
&#xD;
Dream Totem: "The Cockroach teaches us how to use what we have available to us for survival. To clean out the dead and useless aspects of our lives, subtle changes will be magnified. Also we will have the power to scurry out of danger. Cockroach is actually a gifted teacher in the art of survival and successful adaptability, especially in environment that may seem hostile."&#xD;
&#xD;
JAN 1 - ND&#xD;
I asked for wisdom as I went to sleep. I stood with a group of unknown people. One of the men came from the circle and threw hot coffee at my third eye. I woke up, and for my New Year intention gave up coffee completely.&#xD;
&#xD;
DEC 16 - ND&#xD;
I lay down to sleep 'asking for guidance for my son who was still having responsibility issues with his car and accountability, but he is getting there slowly but surely.' He's come so far, and near the end of the 8 year lessons and starting to see that if he puts something out there that is not 100% honest, karma immediately returns that instant. I went to sleep and into my dreaming and an Angel came and said: "Don Brown" and then I woke up about 3 am, I said to myself who is Don Brown? I thought, oh that’s the car dealership here in town. So I took the dream message to my son in the morning and told him to go apply for a job there and ask your guardian angel to prove to you in the physical it exists.&#xD;
&#xD;
My son is not a believer, so these things are very difficult for him, with 8 planets in Sagittarius in the second house of Taurus, he yearns to experience things as 'real' and 'tangible' in the physical world and wants to touch it to believe. I framed an image of a young man reaching for an angel and the angel above showing compassion for a year ago, and I thought, this was the perfect day to give it to him for Christmas.&#xD;
&#xD;
DEC 6 2007&#xD;
White Spirit Wolf comes into my dreaming last night and today I understood its gift and wisdom which was a very magical dream for me. My dreams are almost always death shamanic dreaming because my work is transformation and I am a death initiator for other female shamans at their last 3rd of their underworld journey. So this dream was magical and in the light workers realm, the upper world which was a visit from spirit or the spirit of someone. I never had white wolf in my waking or night dream walking before, only my gray wolves who taught me to track and the spirit of the gray primordial wolves who come into my soul retrievals and middle world visions for groups to assist.&#xD;
&#xD;
This spirit white wolf was huge and was running in slow motion across the sky [I was in a Lucid state and it was the ravens and red tails who were all around in the distance that caught my attention to look over to the left of the sky... it was then I saw white wolf coming across the sky.&#xD;
&#xD;
The dreaming shifted immediately after white wolf, I was in Alaska and I went into a lucid state and then advanced to dream walking and was watching a Russian Nuclear Submarine in the waters near the some ice caps. Why they are there I have no idea and I am tired of having to do the underworld work now. I am letting go of my collective work soon, it is coming I can feel it. I will do things here and there to shut out alien nations who rape our children always, but now I rest and return to stay in the middle world.&#xD;

SPIRIT WHITE WOLF MEDICINE&#xD;
&#xD;
1. Our Souls dream symbol of the white wolf is seen in a protector role, watching over the dreamer and keeping them from danger. The appearances of white wolf could also warn about a danger. [My seeing the submarine off the coast of Alaska].&#xD;
&#xD;
2. Spirit TOTEM: The Teacher ~ Element: Earth, Wind: North, Wisdom, Medicine: Manifestation&#xD;
&#xD;
Arctic Wolf lives in a land frozen in time where, for three quarters of the year, frigid winds blow across the tundra, creating landscapes of sculpted ice. Here, all life holds its breath while awaiting longer days that will bring the sun to gently bathe all in its golden light, coaxing the emergence of new life to dance for awhile in its brilliant rays. Walking across these bridges and valleys of glimmering snow, the Arctic Wolf, thick white coat ruffled in the frosty breath of the Northern wind, is in a state of contented ~Oneness~ with his surroundings.&#xD;
&#xD;
It is said that at the door of each of the Four Winds, a wolf keeps silent vigil, each bringing change to the life of those who walk the Good Road and with the change, a lesson unique to that Wind. The Arctic Wolf is the Wolf of the North Winds. He stands quietly in rigid determination, unyielding at times, much as the barren landscapes of his home appear to resist the beginning of spring. She is a soul that is comfortable with her surroundings and therefore sees no "reason" to change.&#xD;
&#xD;
Yet the promise of the North Wind is Wisdom unfolding through gratitude and acknowledgment. This is the Direction in which Wisdom is sifted from the sands of experience and then fashioned into a Red staff of Manifesting that wields personal potential. Therefore, if White Wolf Soul can accept change when it appears, yet remain true to his/her values, then the higher vibration of Wisdom and Truth can emerge from beneath stubborn resistance like shoots of sweet summer grass bursting forth from a blanket of winter’s snow. Thus, Personal Power can be embraced, understood and ultimately, the soul’s individual potential manifested.&#xD;
&#xD;
In a climate in which very little life can exist, Arctic Wolf thrives. Drifts of snow gather in intricate patterns and shapes, castles of frozen snow glittering in the brilliant light. Wind, cold enough to freeze exposed flesh, passes nearly unnoticed by Arctic Wolf as he roams the blinding white expanse of his territory, thick white fur keeping him well insulated . . . Mother Earth has prepared him well.&#xD;
&#xD;
The individual with Arctic Wolf as their Power Totem is one who is capable of withstanding huge and numerous challenges and setbacks, only to emerge stronger than before. It is little wonder that these souls will often face adversity in their lives in order to build the resilience with which to overcome obstacles? Paradoxically, they are also gentle souls with a great deal of emotional sensitivity . . . and this is the area in which they are likely to encounter their greatest lessons. Yet by calling upon the inner strength and resilience of the Arctic Wolf, they can triumph and raise their heads with gratitude to the loving rays of the Sun.&#xD;
&#xD;
Stamina - The Arctic lands stretch for miles, blinding white expanses that demand respect of all who dwell there. Upon this vista of pristine white, the Arctic Wolf roams his territory in search of food, a mate or any encroaching threat and will travel up to twenty miles a day, or more, to perform his tasks. To withstand the harshness of the unrelenting winds, the brutality of an unforgiving and bitterly cold climate, and to do this while traversing many miles, the Arctic Wolf has been engineered with tremendous stamina to fulfill her role in Nature. Arctic Wolf soul is an individual who is capable of performing nearly miraculous bouts of stamina that would weary other souls as she travels the good Red Road.&#xD;
&#xD;
S/he possesses within the ability to push the body and mind to the limits, and in fact, can appear to even derive pleasure from doing so. With each new goal that has been met, Arctic Wolf individual will then set his/her sights on the next task at hand. Preferably the new goal will be even more challenging than the one just completed, as this engenders the ~acknowledgment~ within their own reasoning that they are ~worthy~ of that which has been given to them, yet the truth of the matter is that anything they have received, has been honestly won.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

Dreaming with All my Relations!&#xD;
WHOLE CYCLE: SEPT 29 - OCT 27, 2008&#xD;
&#xD;
NEW MOON: Mon, Sept 29, 2008&#xD;

FULL MOON in ARIES&#xD;
Tues, Oct 14, 1:02 pm CDT&#xD;
DARK MOON Transitional 3 days&#xD;
before the next new moon.&#xD;
&#xD;
My intention this month is:&#xD;
"I am both Passion and Intensity&#xD;
which is Balanced and in Harmony."&#xD;
&#xD;
When we work with lunar intentions, we are like a poet seeking self-awareness to understand the differences between our joy and our shadow. This is a big, big world we live in... and truthfully, the only thing we can change is our self. Otherwise raging at a TV politician who can't hear us or wasting our precious life force on 'the other' in conflict is like a blind monkey seeking nourishment from a plastic tree. This month is about Right Relationships.&#xD;
&#xD;
Healing and it's spiritual disciplines&#xD;
are to "expand personal self-awareness”&#xD;
which eventually with enough dedication&#xD;
and practice can lead to the expansion of&#xD;
personal “consciousness” when we set&#xD;
intent and pay attention to the answer.&#xD;
&#xD;
The number one rule when playing a lunar game of the mysterious female is to: Treat yourself kindly when you have made the decision to dedicate to a healing practice that is of the internal reality to awaken. We can change anything about our self with enough practice and vulnerability in equal proportions to become aware of what "it" is that we are seeking. Practices of intention, help us see eventually with our own eyes what everyone else has always seen. This is the basis of the Buddhist mirror principle, seeing clearly a mirror of what another reflects back, both positive and negative.&#xD;
&#xD;
Libra Moon cycles are perfect for this because the territory of Libra is right relationship and this mirror is an opposition to Aries the God of War, which means the inner warrior and the inner battle are both hidden and expressed in behaviors unconscious until exposed.&#xD;
&#xD;
If you hurt your finger in a drawer, how do you respond? With anger, with tears? When we play 'right relationship' game with others with emotion, we go inward to our emotional body and when we sense something from another’s psyche, we pay attention to our responses, not theirs... just like the pain of the smashed finger. This is one stage of becoming conscious. If we experience a Libra moment that brings anger or tears then we must pay attention to our tender emotions and honor them. Those who get angry don’t usually honor themselves as much as those who cry. But both need validation.&#xD;
&#xD;
In order to heal our karma, which is the deepest level of the soul which sits at the bottom of the greatest ocean, we start with the surface layers of the ocean with awareness of our journey inward setting intent and then seeing how it surfaces. Awareness, then integration are the keys without self-judgment or judging others. This is a daily practice. After all these years of working with my mirrors and looking for my own darkness and shadow chasing and then finding it, feeling it and healing it, I have learned from experience its about validating "Experiences, Oppositions and Self-Compassion".&#xD;
&#xD;
If we only pay attention to the light, we will never truly reach the light. In order to the reach the light we must swim the long ocean into the dark with acceptance, eventually finding the seeds and core issue of it's karmic origin in the soul [emotional body]. This is the most difficult work on the planet today, to keep going deeper and deeper without any validation. We need each other, even the most stinky, difficult and crabby among us to show us our shadow side. Meaning that if your angry with someone, your honest about that, rather than thinking its not perfect behavior and keeping quite until it tears at the fabric of your physical or mental bodies. Or if your crying all the time seeking true compassion for your tears, which allows one to make difficult choices rather than remain in the stuck position.&#xD;
&#xD;
I was able to see very clearly my mirror with the two who crossed my path in the past few days as I embraced this passive aggressive behavior in both the other and myself. As a shaman I can see deep into the darkness of a persons unconscious, this is why I delved into mine for so many years in order to heal a s number one priority in my life above anything else. This journey to the shadow is not about being perfect, it is about awareness and its frightening when we begin to get to the karma. I saw the two sides of my power this week, with the dark one in which with practice I walked away in silence and restrained my energy, and with the other, I spoke my truth without fear of judgment and groundedness.&#xD;
&#xD;
Tips for a New Moon 28 day cycle in Libra:&#xD;
&#xD;
Listen without interruption unless the other person&#xD;
is projecting their shadow or being passive aggressive&#xD;
without being conscious about it.&#xD;
&#xD;
Just practice Breathing&#xD;
deeply ten times in a conflict,&#xD;
 it works the fastest.&#xD;
&#xD;
Feel before you think and then speak&#xD;
&#xD;
Compromise with others who compromise,&#xD;
the others let them go.&#xD;
&#xD;
Strict boundaries without compromise to&#xD;
protect one's self was physical, psychic,&#xD;
emotional, and mental abuse is absolutely&#xD;
calling loving and respecting the self.&#xD;
&#xD;
Practice non-attachment, this one is&#xD;
difficult but with years of practice&#xD;
it gets easier.&#xD;
&#xD;
Remember the difference between&#xD;
what is a "Universal Truth" and "My Truth” ...&#xD;
both are correct and the wise know&#xD;
the differences.&#xD;
&#xD;
Declare "Open Enemy" of yours... This is&#xD;
sending a message to your sub-conscious&#xD;
that the person is someone who can hurt you,&#xD;
and at the same time that they are a mirror as well.&#xD;
&#xD;
Gossip is Gossip.&#xD;

MOON CYCLE IN VIRGO&#xD;
The Earthy Dreamer!&#xD;
WHOLE CYCLE: AUG 30 - SEPT 28, 2008&#xD;
THE NEW MOON IS TODAY:&#xD;
Sat. Aug 30 @ 2:59 pm CDT&#xD;
FULL MOON in PISCES Mon Sept 15&#xD;
DARK MOON Transitional 3-5 days&#xD;
before the next new moon&#xD;
&#xD;
Did everyone enjoy and learn their universal lessons in the moon of Leo with that powerful Solar Eclipse? Major shifts are happening everywhere. Did your inner child rise or did you witness someone else's? Did you meet someone new or let go of an old partner? Did something happen to change your reality and path? Did the drama of Leo appear on time and on schedule? We say goodbye to Leo and hopefully you’ve recovered or working at it or enjoyed it. All of those three seem to be our choices today.&#xD;
&#xD;
Yesterday marked the darkest part of Leo’s moon cycle and the new cycle of Virgo begins today at 2:59 pm. This morning I made atonement in the darkest part of Leo by releasing and clearing any shadowy energy aspects of myself left this past moon cycle, so I could begin with a clear vibration of the Virgo walk upon the earth for the next month. I've been working monthly for thirteen years with each moon cycle and Virgo is always grounded and synchronistic for me.&#xD;
&#xD;
This morning it started with a mother holding her 6 month old baby named Stella, my mothers name. They were having fun and the little child wanted to dance. I told the mother that my mother loved to dance too like your daughter and her name was also Stella. I said my mother was a Leo and if you don’t mind, what sign is your daughter? She replied an Aquarian, I replied I am an Aquarian and then the mother of the baby said she was a Leo. I replied so was my mother! Now a woman who was near both of us said what is your Aquarian daughters birth date? She replied February 8th and the woman said that’s my birthday!&#xD;
&#xD;
I watched and observed the first few minutes of right before me, of my Virgo Moons new beginning. I can set my intention on this event and my dreams last night... &#xD;
&#xD;
"I AM INTUITIVE AND HEALTHY AS I UNIFY MY MIND, BODY AND EMOTIONAL BODY"&#xD;
&#xD;
Virgo is the intuitive communicator, bringing communication down to its earthiest level, unlike Gemini, which is dualistic in nature since both signs are ruled by the chatty messenger Mercury. Virgo Moons are synchronistic and intuitive and I have always noticed how Virgo people are very intuitive down to the detail if they allow such things to occur without ego.&#xD;
&#xD;
Virgo Moons are about our healing and health and it is this energy which transcends us to see real magic. Magic is within and when we point the wand, like the Harry Potter movie, where Hermione’s powerful wand shows us magic, we should always point it at ourself as the rules of ethical karmic reasons because Virgo brings us the universe in the palm of our hand to navigate the self, not others. Virgo Moon rules our natural need of both desire and satisfaction. Service is a small aspect of Virgo moons but a lower aspect of productivity. When we remove productivity of Virgo from the scenario, we find ourself doing either what we absolutely love or hate. You be the judge in your own life.&#xD;
&#xD;
I had a dream this week where I was a servant to a black family. Since my work is all about service of the shadowy nature of others as a shaman the dream showed me how I can give service by literally being a servant of the dark symbolically. In dream work the nature of symbolism is without ego and such work requires this understanding. There is no good or bad in reality, only the illusions that keep you separate in your own duality. So when I listen to my dream its not about black people or anything else, it’s the way the symbolism defines the story Virgo is the great story teller like Gemini and it was a great dream story in a shamanic sense. Virgo moons are perfect for my purpose, what  are they for you?&#xD;
&#xD;
Virgo energy is very caring and reflects our health and happiness and the health of others. Its a very nurturing energy, so this month love and heal yourself in the earth body of the physical and also share that love with those you care about. Try drinking only water for one week, just to see how it feels. Try adding one day of walking out in a natural settings for this moon cycle. Try volunteering if you never have or stop volunteering if you've always done it. Remember, we cannot separate health and happiness, so give it your best attempt to work on one or the other or both this moon cycle.&#xD;
&#xD;
Love and Blessings, Mary!&#xD;

MOON CYCLE IN LEO AND A SOLAR ECLIPSE: &#xD;

FULL MOON in AQUARIUS Saturday Aug 16&#xD;

&#xD;
For those experiencing a normal life with average things going on and nothings happening, then enjoy it while it lasts. Leo wants you to be creative and to have fun, to address the world as if you were an actress or actor. As if you were a queen or a king. Be creative, imaginative and leave the drama at home in a suitcase under your bed tightly snapped. We just don't need the drama anymore...&#xD;
&#xD;
Now, if you are experiencing changes in your life of any kind, then I will address you with my wisdom... we started the official sacred dance of 2012 off in the first month of spring on the Aries New Moon around March 22nd. That was the Spring Equinox and it was the most powerful I have felt in my life. That was fire inside our bodies, yearning to be put forth into a world of creation. Now we enter the second Fire Moon of Leo and we must engage with others Fire...&#xD;
&#xD;
If you think that I don't take my work seriously, you are dead wrong. When I play with the Universe, it is a matter of life and death, creation and destruction, and I hold the balance between both. I do not only play with such matters lightly nor see anything less than the fire of spirit. No judgment between the light and the dark is within me, because if one tries to separate them then one lives in illusion or is totally devastated when the dark rises to  seek balance with the light.&#xD;
&#xD;
Those who feel the power all around them now, must accept that fate leads us to our destiny, not the mind of our human nature. Nature's rules are more powerful and she can bring us to our knees. If you could imagine that you have no control then you join me in my reality. If you don't, then you are just fooling yourself and there is no fool like an old fool.&#xD;
&#xD;
The element of Fire is Spirit and when the soul of humanity is steeped in Illusion and seeks power, fire becomes out of control and dangerous. Don't trust so easily, don't judge so easily, accept and embrace that ever single experience you have, in every single thing life brings you is for you to awaken to a greater self. I like the image of the Babushka dolls, where one fits within another and then another and then another. Our dances to 2012 are about shedding the outer layers of those dolls and getting to the core essence of our karma, the essence of our power which is empowerment, truth and love. Love without truth is shallow and empty.  Truth without Love is raw and harsh. For a decade now, Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio and Taurus have a;; been through chaos which is change, so much change. Now it is our Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn brothers and sisters turn. We hold you in our prayers and let you know that Pluto, even though science cannot handle her psyche by demoting her, we know she still moves and works in and out as the source of creation and destruction. She is still very much alive and gets to the heart of the matter. She is ugly in a kind sort of way and she will remove anything that hides your souls fragments, which needs to be confronted and integrated. Not out of hurt and pain, but for the sake of rebirth and freedom.&#xD;
&#xD;
Leo this next 28 day lunar cycle is the Fire Moon of creation and with creation comes destruction, we cannot separate the yin and yang. It is the shedding of old skin, like the serpent who draws upon a woman’s cosmic dance. Please remember that dignity and respect of Leo is at your side at all times like an angel unseen, this moon cycle. For the full moon in Aquarius coming can bring more truth to the surface about who you really are, and its ruler Uranus is the master of chaos and change with whatever arises, have dignity in how you address experience yourself this month. Treat your self like a king and queen, you deserve it!&#xD;
&#xD;

Love and Blessings, Mary&#xD;

Wow, if you were not excited and filled up completely last month in Gemini then there is more fun on the way... Last month we traveled around the Moon in the Air (our Mind) and this month we’re ready to come down to earth. Cancer Moon’s are what we call the watery Lake, where Scorpio is the watery River and Pisces the great Ocean. This is the first water moon of 2008 and Cancer holds collectively for us the archetype of the mother, who rules our primal tides, our past memories and our ancestors. Below I have both a yin [dark] and yang [light] story to share...&#xD;
&#xD;
The Dark Shamans Moon of All my Relations&#xD;
During the past moon, I was asked to do a psychopomp [clearing a dead spirit] for a wonderful woman who had one very dark Spirit causing lots of problems for other spirits on her land. When I went into dreamtime and dream walked, I saw it was a 17 year old teenager who had taken her life in 1972 who was in one of the rooms on a building on this land and she had taken a 12 year old with her. In the dream walking I had freed the 12 year old and put the 17 year old in a place of containment. This 17 year old girl spirit was like a teenager in a mall with a gun, and all the other spirits become upset. I did half the work awake on the astral planes of earth when I reached her dimension that week, and then abruptly I was asked half way through to stop. &#xD;
&#xD;
As an initiated shaman who has traveled all realms, to stop a psychopomp in the middle of its proceedings is not a good idea. I experienced and felt and saw the pain of this girl Spirits soul having to suspend it and then return it. I did as I was asked and most light workers will try to send her to the light, but the ways of the underworld are perfect and the dogs of the underworld must take her to the Lords of Karma to bring her to the place of hell or deep in the mother earths belly so she can find her soul when she reincarnates again. Sending this spirit to the light will bring Imbalance not only to the land, the spirits, the psychopomp spirit but all the people involved who send her to the light.&#xD;
&#xD;
The Light Shaman's Moon of All my Relations&#xD;
My sister Ellen and I knew it was time... Ellen was ready to leave the good sister and begin her bad sister journey and I am ready to leave the bad sister and welcome the good sister for the first time in my life. With all our learning’s we decided to exchange the robes of liberation and drove to the Black Madonna Shrine to hold a traditional lunar full moon release.&#xD;
&#xD;
We walked to the Shrine’s spring, Ellen to release her Maiden and Mother and I to release my Maiden. After we finished our burial, we then baptized ourselves with the sacred waters into our new life. I found out the next day that we did it on the Feast of St. John the Baptist and it just felt right to pour the sacred waters of the Dark Goddess over each of our heads and all our chakra's.&#xD;
&#xD;
We then sat on the ground near the spring and began our fire ceremony. Ellen offered her photo's that represented each part of her life to the fire and I chanted a welcome to my new good sister world. At this moment coming from the woods were two families and as they approached we said hello. The eldest man said he and his two families present were from Poland and live in Chicago. He told us he was the one who built this Shrine in the woods. Ellen and I felt all of our Ancestors present at that moment as goose bumps touched our bodies.&#xD;
&#xD;
Ellen went back to her prayers and all of a sudden the polish elder began chanting prayers in polish, followed by the ten family members repeating after him and they repeated this for about 1/2 hour along with us speaking out loud our prayers in english. Ellen called in all our ancestors 17 generations back and 7 generations ahead in both Poland and here in the States and this kind of magic could have not been set up any more perfect than it was.&#xD;
&#xD;
So the Moon in Cancer will be filled with both yin and yang this month, observe and remain centered as possible so you may remain balanced. Reballance yourself from your actions. Awareness and Intention are the keys to doorways of balance within the Emotional Body Soul, the Mind, Physical Body allowing our Spirit to guide these three unified.&#xD;
&#xD;
Blessings, Mary&#xD;

" Life beats you down and crushes your soul, and art reminds you that you have a soul " Stella Adler... By now, everyone knows that I live in two worlds as a Shaman. The ordinary reality one and the non-ordinary reality. I have been practicing and teaching Intention with the 28-day cycle of the Moon for 13 years and as I travel and sit and listen in other circles, so many use solar thinking when doing lunar intentions. They use intention to manifest "physical gain or things" in an external world, which means they are really just practicing ordinary solar 'Goals'. &#xD;
&#xD;
Be conscious of your intention work, know that lunar intention is about the disciplines and awarenesses to reach the depth of our emotional soul body rather than outward towards the mind, the sun, the light. We practice lunar moon intention each 28 day cycle to understand cycles of our inner reality and higher awareness of our EQ known as our Soul which travels.&#xD;
&#xD;
Standard astrology says Gemini is about all forms of communication: phones, faxes, computer systems, thoughts,  mercury retrogrades, etc. These are all our yang expressions of the waking dream or our Solar reality. Let us move fully into the future. I moved to the opposite side of the coin in all teachings over the past 13 years, I did the opposite, to learn the fine art of the Yin. This Yin side of Gemini as a mirror reality of thought and energy fields of an external reality beyond the veil. Whether you know it or not, we all are co-existing in two realities at one in time and one across the veil is in no-time. The yin nature of Gemini is also about communications and some of them are: interior travels such as astral or out of body experiences leaving your thoughts behind and taking your EQ with you to speak any language with any living thing in any form all from your emotional body; communication with ghosts, spirits or close encounters with both ET and the dead who live just across the veil side by side with us.&#xD;
&#xD;
I’m all moved into my apartment now and I have been sleeping on the couch for the last two weeks. Friday I bought a mattress to spend the first night in my bedroom last night and after I hung all the curtains, straightened up and laid down to fall asleep. The moment I laid down with the lights off, I felt a "huge" amount of energy that started near my closet moving across the room coming towards me... at those moments I didn't know if I had a room full of dead spirits [my neighborhood is from the 1850's] or if I was sleeping on top of a huge vortex portal. Another five seconds went by and now waves of energy moved from the back of the room and began fluttering under me. I began to sense a rapid pounding of a heart beat, what seemed like many heartbeats, thinking is that my heart? I jumped up, went into to the living room and my heart was not beating at all as I laid my hand across my chest. I was feeling many hearts beating, maybe about 15 was my assessment and by the size of the yin energy.&#xD;
&#xD;
In my dream the night before, I was seeing the back end of a dog/wolf going into a bedroom. I realized as I was experiencing this, it was my own bedroom I had seen in my dream and it was an underworld guardian dog. I went to get all my shamanic rattles, sages, bells and I asked the thunder beings to help too since there was a huge storm occurring at the same exact time interval as all this, ending of the storm precisely at the end of clearing all the spirits out.&#xD;
&#xD;
Two days later I understood my Waking / Beyond the Veil merged Vision... I got clarity when i was leading a fire ceremony near Washington at Mystic Valley's farm doing a ceremony of intention for the use of the land to be used now as a retreat center for healing and learning. The group of women were yoga teachers, healers, a medium, a song woman, and a few more... after the fire ceremony Saturday, when I woke up Sunday morning and we all were at the fire again. I was sharing my experience with my friend Patty and the "Wisdom" from the Vision came light a lightening bolt...&#xD;
&#xD;
It wasn't a portal, it wasn't 15 spirits.... it was me in my collective YIN in energy form returning to me after my shamanic underworld healing and initiations. It happened to me three years ago with the collective Light aspect after my full healing journey of mind and body, the YANG energy. I thought back then, that was it, just the light returning to me in my collective form Dah! why would I of all people who honors both the light and dark Goddess think that, everything is yin and yang. And spirits do not have heart beats.&#xD;
&#xD;
My wholeness of energy in a collective form has engaged into me and returned. I have had many paranormal, many mystic and spirit experiences, but this truly made all my hellish healing work understood and how the collective yin and yang energy self works in the unfified field works. This is what the deer spoke to me in an out of body prophecy in 1987 and now I am completed. Before enlightenment carry water, chop wood, after enlightenment, carry water, chop wood. Wood and Water Yin and Yang Inner and Outer Mind and Emotion.&#xD;
&#xD;
So, this Gemini moon, depending upon if your sensitivity and your ability to tap into the other reality happening at the same time as this one, it’s going to be a charged up month. For those that do not know, Spirit Guides will never cross respectful boundaries to touch you or enter you, but only lonely, desperate or negative spirits do. So people like Ramtha separate the two aspects of the self... JZ Knight says Ramtha is a walk in Master, but in reality knowing all the realms of reality and duality of dimensions as a shaman, JZ is both herself and Ramtha, her ancient self at the same time but unclaimed consciously.&#xD;
&#xD;
Also, this morning my sister informed me this morning, that her little granddaughter who is 2 years old, keeps talking about the Dragon Hole and not to go in it. So I will be doing a portal shut down on the other side of Southwest Ave. later this month which is my work to keep the dark spirits from crossing over now anytime they want. So, Happy Gemini Travels this Month! Mary!&#xD;

NEW MOON IN TAURUS &#xD;
Monday, May 5 - June 2, 2008 &#xD;
7:18 am CDT 15 Degree's Taurus&#xD;
&#xD;
This 28 day Lunar Cycle is about OPPOSITIONS. Can you see them, can you recognize them as they appear to you. Taurus Moon is about the physical world and questions such as... Do you love your body? What do you value today that is the most important aspect of your life? What will you allow yourself to see in this physical world that is non-ordinary? What grounds you? Is it your inner peace? Is it your beautiful home or the garden that you grow? Is it your beautiful relationships with your values? Our values and self esteem cannot be separated this month and this moon cycle gives us a chance to create, let go and find wisdomabout what we value and how it effects our self esteem. &#xD;
&#xD;
Do you value others who abuse you? A very good Venus word this month. Of course we don't, but sometimes our actions show us otherwise. As a shaman, my work is about the shadow and learning to love her. When we don't love our shadow it goes flying everywhere like helium balloon on the loose.  Or when we focus on anothers darkness, we get lost in the light and our darkness is exposed while we are unconscious to it.&#xD;
&#xD;
Our light or our good qualities do not need attention, they speak for themselves. We work with the Moon with Intention because it reflects our darkness, our jealousies, our cattiness this month. This is where we want to focus in order to first see them clearly. They are not bad, they just represent where we have denied ourselves love. Venus is about love and the denial of love equally.&#xD;
&#xD;
This is the dark sides of Venus, which brings us out of balance if we do not practice mindful action. We do not seek perfection with Lunar Intention practices, we seek mindfulness and paying attention like a mother, to our emotional body who is our baby. Venus can be very jealous, indulgent, over-stimulating, too demanding and sometimes bitchy because she's too tired, too over stimulated, to gossipy. She can gossip and hurt other people because it only satisfies her infantile emotional body. So this month is an excellent month to focus on how much indulgence we take part in and become mindful of our energy.&#xD;
&#xD;
Venus when she loves herself, pays attention to what her body needs because she respects herself first in order to find respect for others authentically. For how can we love Mother Earths body as women, if we cannot love our own and treat it with respect? This moon in Taurus gives us an opportunity to start or continue our commitment for the next 28 days.&#xD;
&#xD;
We start at home, inside our own personal issues.&#xD;
&#xD;
Remember - Lunar teachings of the Moon are about our emotional needs, our deep desires to be loved and to be loving. If you use Moon intentions for manifesting things in the physical world, then that is put simply you are not practicing New Moon Intentions, you are practicing the Minds: GOALS. Lunar intentions with awareness to increase perception is not goal orientated.&#xD;
&#xD;
So if we focus inward, what if you put tape over your mouth, how do you think your Mind and Body would react in the next 28 days? With harmony? With rebelliousness? With fear or worry? When we do not respect our self, Venus within can become crabby. Remember that with Taurus its our inner values and focusing on those, our self esteem and increasing our awareness. Venus Libra qualities in September, October are about relationships and partnerships.&#xD;

NEW MOON CYCLE IN ARIES 2008&#xD;
"The Waking Dream" APRIL 6 - MAY 5&#xD;
8:55pm PDT 16º 44’ and then FULL MOON in Scorpio&#xD;
Sunday, April 20 3:25am PDT, 0º 43’&#xD;
&#xD;
First of the Fire Moons and Beginning of &#xD;
Mother Natures 13 Moon Yearly Season&#xD;
&#xD;
This moon is the Aries / Libra reality of RELATIONSHIPS. ALL MY RELATIONS. See, hear, feel and recognize what comes on your path the first two weeks before the full moon. Digest the medicine even if its difficult, complicated or dark. Eat from the hidden manna, which means their is medicine and wisdom in such difficulties. When we accept this we are given a new name. The quote I received as a prophecy ten years ago was: S/he who eats from the hidden manna, will receive a stone and on that stone shall receive a new name." I ate from the hidden manna, the mystery beyond the minds idealism, and a stone fell through my ceiling as my proof. This is one of my sacred Stones. &#xD;
&#xD;
What can I say, its SPRING - we should express LOVE in all its dark and light forms, and be aware enough to Celebrate Mother Earths Maiden Stage of blooming again in her eternal cycles of the spiral. For those on a healing journey, turn your inner eye outward and discipline yourself to first SEE your dream and then work at bringing each action each day into living your DREAM. For those who have no idea what to Dream, go see a movie and see how dreaming works, then bring it inward and create any one dream just for today. Let no one, or no thing stand in your way. Be the Aries Warrior for your Dream, Healing your Past and letting it go, and stepping into the new dream of Living in the Present Moment WITH loving your actions and treating your body with respect. Aries opposite sign is Libra, which means do all these Aries things in a Libra Way. The Libra way is RIGHT RELATIONS to the Spirit of all things and humans. If you did not practice this, then in two weeks, Life will show you EXACTLY where you need to look inward, by what is reflecting in the world around you near the full moon.&#xD;

NEW MOON CYCLE IN PISCES &#xD;
"MERMAIDEN WARRIOR DREAM" MARCH 7 - APRIL 6 Libra-Aries Full Moon March 20, 3rd &amp;amp; Last of the WATER Moons and Completion of Natures 13 Moon Yearly Season&#xD;
&#xD;
“I cannot tell you your Dreams and Purpose, if you will be Rich, Happy or if the Love of your life is coming, all I can tell you is to LOVE YOURSELF and whatever comes to you, let it approach with Sacredness, Groundedness, Self Respect and Truth even at the cost of losing it all."&#xD;
&#xD;
The Aquarian Moon last month should have given you a glimpse of personal vision and inner truth along with that Powerful Full Moon Eclipse of release, which would have brought to your attention where you walk in harmony and/or out of balance. Mythology in this Lunar Cycle is the Constellation of Pisces which appears as 2 fish swimming in those Aquarian Waters of Wisdom. These two moons together build to an interal cycle ending and we hold Pisces as the last Medicine Moon, connected to inner therapy and unconditional love. Pisces rules listening, self-undoing, counselling, non-judgment, non-resistant responsive motion all which helps us keep our thoughts, feelings, and focus on our inner Dream.  &#xD;
&#xD;
The New Moon in Pisces this month is about Dreaming, living life as the creative, honesty, connectedness and peace. Pisces Moons mark our completion of the larger yearly 13 Moon Cycle bringing another natural year to a close and a new beginning at th Spring Equinox Aries Moon. Sun, Moon and Uranus are Conjuncted this moon cycle and Uranus asks: &#xD;
&#xD;
Where do I need a sense of Freedom right now in my Life! and WHAT do I need Freedom from? An addiction? A belief? From Myself and my own Undoing or Self Doubt? &#xD;
&#xD;
Uranus/Sun/Moon wants Freedom from Self-Bondage and this requires some healthy Risk taking, Destroying the Ego's instant gratification and letting the self remain peaceful and lucid a bit. Declaring to the Heavens or a Lover or a Friend your Truth right now today, to bring a sense of Independence or unity that leads to happiness because this moon is heavily influenced by a bucket of planets in Aquarius... The planets in order are: North Node, Venus, Neptune, Mercury and Chiron. &#xD;
&#xD;
If I take the astro-myth-symbolic language for each of these planets and make a sentence it would be: &#xD;
&#xD;
My DESTINY [North Node] with LOVE touches all my RELATIONS [Venus] unified with my SPIRIT [Neptune] enabling me to LISTEN, JOURNEY INWARD and VOICE [Mercury] my KARMIC WOUNDEDNESS [Chiron] for my ultimate FREEDOM which is my TRUTH.&#xD;
&#xD;
Because Pisces is about dissolve - her complexities simplify, allowing us to reflect on the past year and if teachings talk about meditation, this would be the moon to practice and all our spiritual disciplines to deepened self awareness and consciousness, be it with the self, humans, the heavens or our earth for this moon touches the dreaming, the original religion which connects us to that web of life, holding our future seeds by seeing what we have let go and healed in our past and for many what more inner work we must do.&#xD;
&#xD;
Wisewo/men throughout the ages aligned and still align the Lunar dreaming phases or incubation as dreamtime in the 3 winter months until the spring Equinox to find completion and resolve, like taking a deep breath of release, so Spring may step forth with newness, vitality and brilliance no matter what your age. Pisces Moon cycle is the stillness before the growth.... So keep holding still this last 13th moon, dream well, and set intentions with vision for the last cycle before another rebirth. For like Babylonian times, this star formation of Pisces was associated two fish Goddesses, Anunitum and Simmah reminding us that we are a part of the great cosmic ocean here on earth and our growth or love depends upon our Emotional Body and State of Mind in UNITY. For it is LOVE and UNCONDITIONAL LOVE which holds its sacred wellspring in our Emotions called the Soul and in a Pisces Moon, she is that SOUL within us.&#xD;

New Moon in AQUARIUS FEB 6 - MAR 7 2008&#xD;
3rd and last of the years AIR Moons... "Dreaming with Vision"&#xD;
New Moon FEB 6 - Solar Eclipse, Full Moon FEB 20 - Lunar Eclipse, Dark Moon FEB 28 - MAR 7&#xD;
&#xD;
On Wednesday evening, February 20th, the full Moon over the Americas will turn a shade of red and possibly turquoise, too. It's a total lunar eclipse — the last one until Dec. 2010. I will be doing Ceremony on the Cahokia Mounds that night and invite you to join in to Celebrate the return of the Primordial Grandmother wisdom back to Earth from its 2500 year absence. We will also be speaking in prayer to the Primal Forrest Wolves and the Phoenix of the Middle West Mound sacred lands.&#xD;
&#xD;
THE NEW MOON: Visionary Aquarius… our 3rd and final Air Moon [Mental Body]. Why are Aquarian moons linked with Vision and Visionary Perspective? Because our emotion reaches it’s highest state moving all the way up to the higher mind, giving new idea's, creative solutions, humanitarian endeavors merging with any hidden or unconscious anarchy and rebelliousness within to reach personal truth. &#xD;
&#xD;
Aquarius is the Water Bearer, Water symbolically meaning Wisdom, the Wisdom Bearer of the Observer Higher Mind which can flow when we learn to still, train and conquer the lower Conscious Mind. When the Observer or Higher mind is freed, it finds clarity, unity, stillness, image and creative vision. But like all Moons, what is blocked, repressed, unconscious or hidden must be exposed in order to flow and this requires a practice of self mastery through self observation at very deep levels.&#xD;
&#xD;
Aquarian Moons bring CHANGE, so pay attention to what is needed this 28 day cycle inside yourself for changes to occur and what change is most important today. If we use intentions to welcome change and define it, we allow our intuitive soul to reach out and grasp what is not known yet to the mind. We do this to create a balanced agreement between our Mind and Emotional Soul body, and not a shocked when a change appears. My water wisdom is to understand that we can learn to Honor, Respect and Love CHAOS in an Aquarian Moon cycle, because that is the one big way to touch our own personal chaos and begin to see it and eventually heal [integrate] it.&#xD;
&#xD;
“It takes intense attention and dedication to work with Sacred Lunar Intention and at this level it becomes and transforms within as Awareness at least in the mental body first, the true secret of manifestation that has nothing to do with the physical world but within the worlds of self. To reach subtle synchronistic awareness connected to the All and to live within the true nature of energy mirrored within in relationship to everything outside the self.”&#xD;
&#xD;
For years I practice intention to heal myself, not reap what’s coming presently, which is the prophetic and dream walking gifts which are too, the teachings of the ancient lunar dream keeping connection to our Soul. I did not know back then that I would enter a luminosity of rebalancing my entire system according to the cycles of the moon in a present moment living way. Back then I held Moon Circles for women and women healers to discover the lost Mysteries of Herstory, the feminine. All my thirsts are quenched and now great peaceful, grounded and the ability to flow with Waters of Chaos [change]. &#xD;
&#xD;
My three stages of Self Awareness, Self Healing&#xD;
&#xD;
1. New Moon [Awakening, learning, studying and connecting with like minded souls and practices]; &#xD;
2. Full Moon [the healing stage with every healing modality and healer, mentally, emotionally] and the &#xD;
3. Dark Moon [Shamanic 8 gates of underworld initiations, spiritually, death/rebirth medicines and journey]. &#xD;
&#xD;
Aquarian Moons also are the ruler ship of Hopes, Wishes and Dreams… I asked a de-toxing question to cleanse my body and the answer was given in my dream that night… The answer was two fold Friday evening... The first was I dream walked and met Joyce Owl Woman and her daughter two days before she was to interview me on her and Joseph’s web blog-cast. I had not met her before in the physical world. The second was the answer to my question, a couple, who I have met once before in dreamtime, a mid-aged olive skinned couple and their father, and the man looked at me and said "Eat Seaweed." I looked at him and I wanted to remember when I woke up so I repeated to him and said Seaweed? He nodded.&#xD;
&#xD;
So keep doing the work, let the Aquarian 28 Day Moon cycle support you’re Dream and Vision in your life and how you want to have a relationship with yourself which is connected to all relationships and humanity.&#xD;

"Dreaming Groundedness with Emotion &#xD;
Tuesday, January 8 - February 7&#xD;
5:37am CST 17º  33&#xD;
Pluto moves into Capricorn&#xD;
January 25th till 2024&#xD;
&#xD;
Ahh Capricorn, the only energy I have in Capricorn is my Mercury and I will use it wisely...  Remember, when we attune to play with the great Lunar or MOON energy and teachings - we are 'working' with the nature of our INNER cycles. Capricorn by its very nature is exterior and our relationship to our exterior life through this reality of a physical world. The first thing I learned about Capricorn long ago still it stands today... If I did not plant seeds inward last spring to welcome changes through an everyday discipline, I shall bear little or no fruit of its reflection, when winter comes. Winter has come and this is a good Moon cycle to see where you have reached deeper since the last Spring Equinox, to heal and change because Capricorn encourages us deepen our Commitment to our Journey to BE IN THE WORLD !&#xD;
&#xD;
The I-Ching wisdom to me, is very Capricorn and practical...&#xD;
&#xD;
"A person in danger should not try to escape at one stroke. S/he should first calmly hold their own, then be satisfied with the small gain, which will come by creative adaptations."&#xD;
&#xD;
"The superior wo/man acts in consonance with the way of Heaven and Earth, which is enduring and eternal. S/he perserveres long in the course and adapts to the times, and remains firm in the direction and correct goals."&#xD;
&#xD;
Of course danger in an inner lunar moon practice are all those things that bring us grief, dis-ease, imballance and the greatest wisdom in such moments are to "Surrender. In the process of surrendering, we are not looking to see if we have surrendered, or what part of us has surrendered; it is the state of surrendering. In that state of surrendering which loosens the our grasp of our mind, the present moment awareness of surrendering is the present moment inself. Surrendering can be likened to a mantra; not really saying the word "surrender" repeatedly but being aware of that which you are doing. Consenting, an act of acceptance to change or to change within.  &#xD;
&#xD;
 It is the logical course... trying to figure out why, or solving the issue of the feeling is resistance itself."&#xD;

Sunday, Dec 9 - Jan 8, 2008&#xD;
Jupiter and Pluto Exact Conj &#xD;
from 1:30 - 4:00 pm TUESDAY the 11th&#xD;
&#xD;
This past Wednesday I did a Seer reading and I only saw the woman for a few moments as she followed me into the darkened room. I sat across from her, closed my eyes and began to do the reading. After I was finished we talked for a 1/2 hour bridging the medicine. As I looked at her, she looked about 65 years old, her hair was kind of gray, unkept and wild and looked very tired. It was a good spiritual seer session. We walked out into the lighted room and I took her up to the counter to pay. As I looked at her, she was about 42, her skin was beautiful and perfect , she had gorgeous long black silky straight hair. &#xD;
&#xD;
I batted my eyes as I saw how she really looked in this world. I wasn't confused, I just realized that I was seeing her soul with visual clarity and its true visual past the blocks from the sub-conscious from past lives and pain. This had never happened to me in a reading in the physical level so dramatic and right there, but this week, things changed, the soul was taking form right before my waking eyes, rather than my 3rd eye seer eyes in the readings. &#xD;
&#xD;
As we stood at the counter, we chatted and she said her grandfather was a Shaman and she was very frightened of such things. After she left, i had a few thoughts... &#xD;
&#xD;
what if 2012 and the build up to this point, will just be a true manifestation of what our true Emotional Body [Soul] and we can all see what others shadows really appear as in this 3rd dimension. It could be a frightening for most... rather than thinking the shift is something outside of ourselves....&#xD;
&#xD;
Today, to me, this moon has brought up many finalizing of issues that i have personally been working on very hard for the past 8 years, within me to really deal with and make a final commitment to truth and clarity with proper perspective, knowing i can only truly change myself into who i desire, that of compassion, love, appropriate boundaries and letting go of taking things personal. Closing all final CONTRACTS of my previous lessons of all my lifetimes. My soul has reached its over fill point and i have had enough of entrapment and so I was given two good tests this monthto let go, even if it means never seeing a loved one or being judged by others, I am balanced, loving, detached in a positive way NO MATTER what happens each day of my life. &#xD;
&#xD;
This may not be the words of the sugar coated reality that I remembered so long ago when i got on the path to heal all four bodies. But today it only takes minutes to clear or let go of what used to take years. To me this is soul evolution progress and I feel blessed. Now i truly can love unconditionally both myself and others without meditating myself, or any other thing.... just beings. And allow others who still hides behind their masks just be themselves on that  Shakespearian stage of Karma and Drama.... living in full experience, that it has NOTHING TO DO WITH ME.&#xD;
&#xD;
This Moon is Simple, Very Simple and Clear for the next 28 days of the Moon Cycle. What and how do we use our Emotional and Spirit Energy for? After all... LUNAR teachings about experiencing. Moon and Feeling cannot be separated, even though we try sometimes to limit our feeling, to get along with others, or make things smooth, or keep things simpler than they really are by hiding behind something that is not authentically our truth. Life is not simple; it is complicated and simple at the same time. Embracing this concept allows us to work in the real world with real issues so we can experience, transform, let go and move forward.&#xD;
&#xD;
What does your Fire Energy create or destroy? Have you done something recently or in the past which has sold your Soul "down the river", even if it was simple? How do we handle FIRE energy with Ethics and personal Values and still love others unconditionally. It sounds like an impossible opposition and that’s what makes self awareness and doing the right thing, so blurry between the lines of the real and the imagined without taking on more Karma.&#xD;
&#xD;
Today Pluto and Jupiter are conjunct at our Galactic Center - Degree of 28 after 1:30 pm Tuesday. Last time for this transit at 28 degrees of Sagittarius was in the year 1025. Anything we do from this point after 4:00 pm when it completes its EXACT, doubles karma, doubles its return, doubles positive actions and choices. When it comes to our SOUL and our physical LIFE, it’s a constant balance. &#xD;
&#xD;
Great transformational energies and much personal activation is being experienced by all since The Harmonic Convergence in 1987 and the Harmonic Concordance in November 1997 and now we enter the 3rd and FINAL gate before 2012... I call it the Harmonic Contract, since there is no name out there. Letting go of old contracts with old Karma and creating new contracts with one's self so we can move in balance in the world and let go or as Rumi stated in his poem....&#xD;
&#xD;
DIE, DIE, DIE IN THIS LOVE&#xD;
&#xD;
The I-Ching says: When we become conscious of something, Return immediately to Equanimity and Balance and follow the wisdom of the Sage ... in a Sag Month its a good idea, and that Sage is YOU EXPAND and TRANSFORM... that’s what Pluto and Jupiter’s unity define or clarify.... Recognize you’re SOUL and how it really feels or even looks to others. True freedom is not pretty, nor easy, it requires difficult and hard work and then transformation and release can occur, to take one giant step for the feminine and one gigantic leap for all of us.&#xD;
&#xD;
Blessings NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO.... Mary&#xD;

Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2007 | Jupiter conjuncts Pluto, Venus trines Mars&#xD;
&#xD;
This is it, the moment of truth, right here right now. Today, as Jupiter conjuncts Pluto on the Galactic Core, this is their message thundering from the heavens above and the deep voice within. Eric's article in this Monday's edition of Planet Waves Weekly just about says it all. It echoes everything I have been feeling and hearing all around me from people, whether or not they follow astrology. So here it is again.&#xD;
&#xD;
"How about this: Stop bullshitting yourself and do what you need to do. Do what you came to this Earth to do, starting today. Tell the people in your life the truth about who you are. Tell them what you need. Try it; I promise, you won't drop dead, and civilization will not end. If people blow you off, good for you -- they were blowing you off already. Stop worrying about it and get on with the life you came here to live. Don't let anyone stop you, most particularly yourself." &#xD;
&#xD;
This is also precisely the conversation I had over dinner last night with my brother. Life is just way too short to be anything but real and to waste time on bullshit. The thing is most of us even in spite of knowing the truth, will continue to keep up a facade out of politeness. All this activity in Sagittarius (if you have known any Sagittarians, you will know this is true) is leaving no room for that now. &#xD;
&#xD;
Tact and diplomacy, along with a whole load of other crap we've been led to believe, are flying out the window. We can't force another to be honest and up-front, but it takes two and we can refuse to play. Everything exploding in the cosmos is mirroring the core of who we are and what's happening inside. I assure you, we are going to need every ounce of energy we have to face the tomorrow hurtling our way to waste time on people who don't want to get real. Let it go. And speaking of bullshit, watch this.&#xD;
&#xD;
Opportunities and situations in our lives now have the power to catapult us far into the future. Jupiter is the bearer of good fortune, but Pluto asks for a complete surrender before we can collect his [Jupiter's] bounty. Aligned with the Galactic Core, this is a surrender to our innermost realities that we may have long forgotten or suppressed. I realize this may not be an easy time for all, but I would say this is the universe's wake-up call. It may be a little disorienting at first, but once we snap out of our dreams, we can start making them real.&#xD;
&#xD;
Also today, Mars trines Venus, bringing our intimate relationships into the mix. With Mars retrograde in Cancer and Venus in intense Scorpio, there seems to be some sort of role reversal between the sexes here. Venus wants to get to the bottom of it all, while Mars retreats. There is, though, a great opportunity now to get real about what we need in our relationships and heal past wounds of insecurity or abandonment. Trust your instincts -- float to the voice of love and you'll find fear just sort of melts away. &#xD;
&#xD;
To sum it all up, I will quote Eric once again: "The cosmos is broadcasting the message on every known frequency that it's time to stop giving yourself lame excuses to not make love, make art or make a difference." &#xD;
&#xD;
The Greeks have a concept of 'divine time' or Kairos that implies an opportune moment in time when the Divine penetrates the earthly sphere. And we are truly in one divine moment, right here, right now.&#xD;

New Moon in Scorpio&#xD;
2nd of the Water Moons....&#xD;
"Dreaming with our Soul"&#xD;
Friday, Nov 9 - Dec 8, 2007 &#xD;
5:03 p.m. CDT, 17 Degree Scorpio &#xD;
&#xD;
Scorpio Moons are a reflection of our personal Soul and the hidden secrets and strengths, both positive and negative. The Soul as Emotional Body, the third and deepest trinity of Mind/Body gives the personal sub-conscious or personal underworld releases or an entrance.... we are allowed to see what our Soul is made of for the next 28 day Moon Cycle.&#xD;
&#xD;
Some are working on releasing karma, some making changes with old patterns of behavior or beliefs, some to heal issues of relationship to people or the physical world, and others illness and others trying to create a new dream after the healing journey is completed. During this late fall, when we play with the Moon within and its outer reflection, we make sure during a ‘Scorpio Moon’ that our INTENTION is created with consciousness to expand self - awareness. I remember even today, my Scorpio New Moon intention 7 years ago. I had set my intention in the circle to reveal my 'Real Compassion deeper inside' to surface. &#xD;
&#xD;
The next morning, a woman hit my brand new car I had purchased and all I could do was sit in the car and laugh, because I was very well aware that this intention and all intentions are answered perfectly. I got out of my car and there happened to be a police car parked at the 7-11 across the street. We both drove into the parking lot and filled out the paperwork. I asked the woman what happened. She said she heard a car screeching and looked into her rear view mirror and saw a big red truck coming at her and she had an anxiety attack. I said why at that moment when the man in the truck was only really driving 5 miles an hour and just drove around us. She said that last month, she had written her last check, paying off the dept of a previous accident ten years ago where both her knees were broken. &#xD;
&#xD;
I asked her if she was alright, gave her a hug so she would stop shaking and showed her much compassion, my intent answered. Three days later my insurance man called and asked me to tell my story... I did and he said the woman who hit you had no memory of hitting you and denies it. I said calmly, well, you know how emotions and the soul are; they are like the moon which is linked emotionally with our memory. And sometimes they are in denial when things are painful. My intention was answered that Scorpio moon, I saw just how powerful INTENTIONS are, but absolute focus and attention to how this lunar magnetic energy in our watery emotional body is ANSWERED - the psyche of inner awareness cannot increase, nor relate to the depth of our personal untouchable Soul and must become manifested in the physical world. In her case, it was the car accident, in mine, it was a beautiful intention and my awareness increased because of it. &#xD;
&#xD;
We walk a day dream and a night dream and I used the same symbolism for both. In this revealing New Moon Intention, her rear view mirror was symbolic of her past; the red truck, use of her fire energy and her physical body, police: inner authority; me: compassion of self and awareness [because this is what I was working on] and her, a reflection of the same issues at that time in my life. I felt at that moment I was having a transcendent moment.&#xD;
&#xD;
So take the opportunity to really dig deep this Lunar New Moon. In astrology they say: ’Do the planet or its does you’… same too with the lunar intentions, set it out there, and pay attention to what is revealed or comes in your space. As I practiced this year after year, I found that the answer came within the two weeks at the full moon, then a week, then a few days, then the next morning, and finally at the moment I set my intent… as long as it’s within you, not outside of self.&#xD;
&#xD;
Mars the sub-ruler of Scorpio, planet of action and will goes retrograde on November 15 and with Saturn conjunct the south node, this moon really addresses the new Dream and Mars will then go direct on January 30, 08. So take this next 3 MOON CYLCE to work on ONE INTENTION with Completion.&#xD;
&#xD;
Blessings and have a Great!!! 28 Days!&#xD;

New Moon in Libra &#xD;
October 11 - November 8, 2007 CST&#xD;
Souls Journey into 'Relationship'&#xD;
&#xD;
My New Moon Intention: &#xD;
&#xD;
Rise Oh Libra, Queen Venus &#xD;
returning again to Earth with a passion &#xD;
of love in Balance within All My Relations. &#xD;
Look at your emotions dear Soul and see &#xD;
where you respond like the Magician. Other-wise, &#xD;
my minds fantasy without my emotional bodies Soul &#xD;
serves only the desires need, not the need itself, &#xD;
never quite quenching the Seekers thirst. &#xD;
Equinimity, Balance, Respect, Harmony and &#xD;
Union brings us inner peace, a sense of &#xD;
fulfillment in all that we meet! &#xD;
&#xD;
I spent a wonderful evening with Jeannie Breeze [Alias Elton Jean] and Ravenwolf's New Moon Circle last night, it was peaceful, grounded and magical. Jeannie does such a wonderful soul filled meditation and Ravenwolfs beautiful magical flute and drums created a space of peace. So much so, that I visioned a beautiful dream as I particpated. &#xD;
&#xD;
We all seek harmony in whatever we are doing each day and this requires practice, practice, practice and not much else. Being in circle with like minded souls can mirror our ability to express action within positive clarity. Those who work at this, set their wise intention this night, to seek any clarity that may be in dis-harmony within, with relationships. Because Venus rules Gossip, Hersay, Jealousy, Needyness, and a host of other love out of balance energy, setting intent to work with this always leads to magical energy. &#xD;
&#xD;
Relationships are life long work, be it friend, family, work relationship, or our relationship to the earth. This Libra New Moon we can set our "intention" to help us clearly see what is within, that has need and desire. And where we can pull back when we need a rest from such union, that can help us regain a sense of calm to engage in the physical and non-physical aspects of our life. &#xD;
&#xD;
I had an Iranian woman call this morning who wanted some information about a reading. She said her english teacher from Iran came into her dream last night and gave her, her phone number. She could not remember the phone number and wanted to know what that meant. I said well, she really did come to you in your dream and wants to get ahold of you. She was hesitant to act upon such dreamings. &#xD;
&#xD;
In my world we can work out relationships in the waking regular life, what i term the waking dream or we can work them out in the nights dreaming. She did not want to contact this woman, but I encouraged her to follow through because its important when someone comes to you in a dream and speaks so clearly to connect. &#xD;
&#xD;
However it works for you this Moon of Right Relations, act upon it even if there is fear, it serves your conscious mind with nourishment from your own soul, this emotional body that is not limited to just your physical waking dream has a wellspring of wisdom for you. Dream Well and Set your Intention with Clarity to create balance, peace and harmony within all your relationships. &#xD;
