A Day at the Bazaar

So yesterday was the local UU church bazaar. I set up a table with a few paintings and information on the organizations I am part of. As am added bonus I was doing angel readings. I'm not sure why but I had been given clear inspiration to do them. So I was only a few table down from the tarot readers (which was awkward) and my reiki teacher a couple tables the other way. There I sat.

I ended up giving about five angel readings and talking about the different groups I was part of. People loved my paintings but not enough to buy them. Ah well. The important thing was that I gave the messages I needed to. On the first reading I could feel my head tingling and opening up. It was an amusing and weird feeling. I helped ground myself with reiki, so that did help. I had a lot of fun despite a terrible profit (i asked for a donation instead of a price for readings). Yay for the angels, and for cookies.

News from Angels

So I have mentioned before that the angels seem to come and go with me. Some days I feel them around me, other days its quiet. Recently I have been swarmed with their energy. This thursday my husband has an interview that will decide whether we will be moving or staying for a few years. Whatever the result, the angels seem to think that this will mark the time for me to build my own reiki practice. Not only a reiki practice but also an angelic practice to help connect people with the angels.
   I'm over their news, so the logistics are still in the works. I am hoping to be able to figure that out later down the line. wish me luck.

Things have come along...

Some fun things have been going on.

I have finished writing my pagan classes and the school is up!

I am starting my reiki classes this thursday and i am so excited!

And i have been doing a series of angel paintings. i am up to 30 paintings. Once i get to 36 or so I will be going to the second phase of it. I am hoping to create cards and booklet!

The angels gave me a wide birth to finish all my projects. Now i hope to establish a relationship with the angels that i am just now learning about. I hope to be sharing these experiences with everyone soon.

Angel Bio - Shekinah : Queen of Light

Shekinah
Compassionate Bride

If there was ever a mother of angels, it would be Shekinah. Her form is lovely and her aura bursts with rainbows. There is never a day that this angel is without a kind word. As an angel of mercy and compassion Shekinah exudes the presence of peace. Not many angels come with a set gender of male or female which makes this one kind of special. Referred to as the 'bride of God', Shekinah is the embodiment of positive female aspects. Her smile is gentle and her forgiveness is unconditional. She can be called upon for healing (of any kind), baby blessings, fertility, weddings, rites of passage, love magick, abundance magick, divination, and more.

Shekinah is the female energy of life and can be viewed as the matron of women, children, and more. She loves children and seeks to protect them in peace. This angel also supports those that would protect the weak (humans and animals), heals the sick, and comforts the downtrodden. Rainbows, doves, and golden hearts are symbols of her happiness. Look out for them as you begin to work with her.

Angel Parties!

A great way to bring around any angel is with an angel party. Whether its just you or all your friends, it can be a wonderful experience. The important thing is not to talk or watch angel related things, but to raise your energy to a higher, better place. Watching uplifting or just plain funny movies can be a great way to lift your group up. Good food, games, or simple fun divination. If someone you know does Reiki or other healing practice, let them practice on you. You could curl up in night gowns or PJ's, have bowl fulls of marshmellows and popcorn. Be as silly or sophisticated as you like. Dinner parties can be just as angel-centric. Have everyone wear white and decorate with crystals or feathers. Use art to bring you that energy. Really, as long as you are having a happy and light filled time, you are creating an angel atmosphere. Never let anyone at your party feel sad or disappointed.

Ideas...
-At the start of your party, stand in a circle, hold hands, and ask for an angel blessing.
-When the party is wrapping up, stand in a circle and ask for the angels to bless everyone on their way home.
-Do things in honor of a specific angel if you have an intention in mind. Play games for Sandalphon! Read tarot card with Uriel. Gather up a donation for a local animal shelter in honor or Ariel and Camael. The list goes on..
-Decorate for your party! If you want love angels to come in, decorate with pinks, reds, and rose quartz. Think themes!
-Serve foods and snacks that give the same feeling as the energy you want. Or set out a food or snack that a specific angel likes. Marshmellows for Sandalphon, red velvet cake for Iophiel, cinnamon buns for Ambriel.
-Lay out a special place in your home or party for the angels to sit. Set out a place mat with a card that requests the presence of your angels.

Types of Parties the Angels can Help With...

-Speed dating! You'd never guess, but this would be a great way to incorporate angels. Or if your trying to bring singles together, why not ask Anael to come along? Decorate with rose quartz and carnelian. Nothing too pushy.
-Birthdays! While a birthday may have its own theme, you can hang a few sun catcher crystals in your windows to invite he angels to celebrate.
-Weddings! If you are throwing a bridal shower, why not decorate with white feathers? Or crystals? An engaged couple needs all the blessings they can get.
-Baby showers! Who isn't happy to celebrate a new life? Plush animals are a great tribute to angel Ariel and Camael. Though Uriel isn't one to cuddle, he may show up if you ask for a blessing for the expectant mother.
-Anniversaries! While becoming rarer now-a-days, the angels love to come and celebrate a lasting union. Iophiel loves helping with any kind of party, but seems well suited for the weddings and anniversaries.
-Initiations! Whether your being inducted into a coven, high scoll, college, or a new job, the angels enjoy blessing you in new endeavors!


With so many ideas, I'm sure any party can be not only great but blessed. Party on!

Exciting Week!

So things have been very good this week! I have had a financially sound week, even stumbled across an untouched $50 book store gift card. What's more, I am able to afford Reiki level 1 training a month earlier than i thought I would! So that is yet another thing I will be adding to my project list. It is an exciting time.

I blogged not too long ago about a sudden trance experience I had one night. Well, I had been looking up Reiki training just before I was pulled into that particular experience. I think this was a clear indication that Reiki was something I was supposed to look into. I even received a dream involving someone that seemed to want to talk with me. While meditating this week I encountered that man again. Gruff, friendly, and warm, he confessed to be a spirit guide of mine! I have had trouble getting in touch with spirit guides, so this was a real treat. He was a healer and would be there to help me with this next step in my life. I can't wait to see what will come of this.

A Fast and Deep Trance

Last night, after coming home from staying at my in-laws, I felt a very strange feeling. My back was still and somehow teeming with energy. I tried to hold still and my limbs became relaxed and filled with energy. After a minute, my eyes closed and I felt myself pulled. I was pulled back at such a speed it was disorienting. I was held by an angel I could not really see. I was then passed off to another angel I could barely see. This angel gently placed me upon a white marble tile floor. It was all very bright and very pleasant. I stood and approached a large, nearly tub-sized bowl of white stone. It was on a small stand and the rim came up to my mid section. As I approached a woman in white and gold was on the other side. She smiled and told me,

"Seek what you need and it will be presented to you. Always."

I felt so calm and relaxed. I didn't really know what to say. When I opened my eyes I wrote down my experience. I had never felt that before or brought into a deep trance so quickly. Just before I went under, I was looking at Reiki training and Angel Energy work training. I think this was a clear nudge on the angels behalf.
