May Day, fertility, fire wiccan Festival, Celebrate, Tara Greene

May Day Magic, Beltane, Faeries  FIRE and FERTILITY FESTIVAL

Beltane means “fire of Bel” or “bright fire” the “bale-fire”. Known as the bright and shinning one,  Celtic Sun God. Beli is the father, protector, and the husband of the Mother Goddess.  This is a FERTILITY CELEBRATION, The Beltane Fires, the MAY POLE, marking the cross quarter day between SPRING and SUMMER.

MAY DAY is a traditional Fertility and Sacred Marriage Festival of the Sun to the Earth. The Bel fire is a sacred fire with healing and purifying powers. The fires celebrate the return of life, fruitfulness to the earth and the burning away of winter. The ashes of the Beltane fires were smudged on faces and scattered in the fields. Household fires would be extinguished and re-lit with fresh fire from the Bel Fires.

As Beltane marks this handfasting (wedding) of the Goddess and God, it too marks the reawakening of the earth’s fertility. This is the union between the Great Mother and her Young Consort; this coupling brings new life on earth. On a Spiritual level and a  physical, it is the union of the Earth and Sun, man and woman to bring about the fruitfulness of the growing season. 

May Day is alchemy in action, the sacred Marriage.
Mother nature shows Herself alive again, flowers are blooming, sprouting, birds are mating, building nests, bees are buzzing.  Beltane was and is a very auspicious time in Celtic lore.
The PLEIADES
Beltane is marked in the Heavens as the rising of the Pleiades star cluster just before sunrise on the morning horizon, whereas winter (Samhain/Halloween) begins when the Pleiades rises at sunset. The Pleiades were very important to many ancient cultures. Some Native American tribes say that their Ancestors were Star Beings who came from the Pleiades. In Japan, the modern car Subaru means Pleiades and 6 of the stars are shown on its symbol. {We’ve always driven Subaru’s partly for this reason.}

 The Ancients believed that the Wheel of Time would not turn without human intervention.
People did everything in their power to honour and call and beckon the Sun and His light, for the earth would not produce life without the Sun’s warmth, his Love. We usually don’t think of the Sun as a Loving God anymore. It is important to honour these Nature Festivals, or turning of the Wheel of the Year, our ancestors did so for thousands of years.
If we’re not in Right Relationship with other Nature then woe be to those who feel her wrath- As we’ve been trying to fool Mother Nature for many years now and continue to do so in the Industrialized world, balance can be attained by participating in these kind of Ancient Festivals.
Neo-tribalism is a necessity now.

FAERIES
May Day is a magical day so be aware of incidents that may occur.  The Queen of the Faeries is said to ride out on her white hose and trying to entice people away to Faeryland. Legend says that if you sit beneath a  tree on Beltane night, you may see the Faery Queen in all Her Glory or hear the sound of Her horses’s belles as She rides throughout the night. 

FERTILITY
Young men and women wandered into the woods before daybreak of May Day morning with garlands of flowers and/or branches of trees. They would make love in the woods, and dance around the Maypole. Pre-Christian society’s thoughts about human sexuality and fertility were not based on guilt or any such concept as original sin, but seen as a joyous natural expression of human passions. Life was seen as a joyful dance, rich in all beauty to be celebrated not defined ordered, made lawful.

Earth Day, Mother Earth Channelled message Tara Greene

April 22 is EARTH DAY

Started in 1970 the first EARTH DAY saw 20 million Americans came out to demonstrate for environmental protection and awareness.  Since 2009 it has been celebrated as INTERNATIONAL MOTHER EARTH DAY now celebrated in 192 countries with over a billion people world-wide participating. It’s coordinated by non-profit EARTH DAY NETWORK.

We are all the children of ONE MOTHER who provides all of our nourishment. the EARTH.

the Moon is fittingly in VIRGO, an earth sign of service, hard work, analysis, perfectionism, accountability.

VENUS in TAURUS is Opposite Saturn in Scorpio -perfect.

Love of the earth opposed to DEATH

FOOD is # 1 major issue

MONSANTO CORPORATION is a FOOD TERRORIST

President Obama passed that hideous Monsanto protection Bill. WHY?

FIGHT THIS BILL, get organized and educated. 

MONSANTO and its GMO FRANKENFOOD and suicidal seeds are one of the world’s biggest threat to human consciousness.

Be aware! in Hungary the people simply burned all their crops and seeds in protest of Monsanto.

In Most of Europe GMO seeds and food have been  banned. PERU and Bolivia have banned GMO seeds.

This is an insidious dangerous planned starvation fascist corporate food coup.

Most people are not aware of the dangers. Chemically introduced “Progress” is usually bad for every one’s health.

Monsanto is planning to use ROBOT drone bees  on their crops and are killing nature’s bees.

The ones that fertilize all flowers and make life sweet with honey.

PROTEST Atomic power plants and radioactive dump sites

 FUKUSHIMA continues to leak radioactive poisons into the ocean and air for over two years

the damage is not being reported truthfully in the mainstream media,

there was another recent spill. Do NOT eat any fish from the Pacific. 

There are tons of toxins everywhere in all the rivers lakes and oceans, in the ground, in the atmosphere

the Alberta Oil sands in Canada is a horrible polluter, shame on CANADA for renegging on KYOTO PROTOCOL

The oil rig leaks in the Gulf of Mexico caused tremendous environmental damage

yet they haven’t been totally stopped.

We need to get off the addiction to OIL and PETROLEUM products.

Shift to free solar, wind, ocean power. TESLA technology. Environmentally self renewing products

they are here already!  we can use Technology to clean up and invent new clean abundant cheap resources.

Generations are getting sicker younger. Species are dying.

We need to radically change everything about how we live, consume, eat, think.

Time is short, we have been too short-sighted. 

CARD for the DAY  - PRINCE OF SWORDS

The FAIRY TALE TAROT 

The Prince of Swords usually shows a young man with a sword.

I chose the Fairy Tale Tarot as it resonated with me as Thumbelina symbolizing all of us as humans on this 43rd Earth Day

Tiny, caught by the Mole= the dark, Scorpio, secret power, control hungry Corporations Plutocrats of the world.

Thumbelina manages to escape and because she is a kind-hearted soul, nature helps her, 

in the illustrations swans come and build her a basket to fly her to safety. 

Each person may be small, but when we initiate radical hopes, ideas, freedom from tyranny

the swords symbolize mind, wind, breath, we can use our imaginations and words to soar.

The Spirit of the Winds and of Mother EARTH have spoken to me the last few days,

“Slow down, stop the world, turn the other way, hold together

good-hearted people will thrive and survive

support each other, get informed, use your mind to connect the dots,

see where the foul winds originate, 

Propitiate the Goddess, come and heal the earth and her children, your children

Make a vow to kiss the ground each day, kiss your  Mother,

Be gentle to her, she is alive. If she doesn’t thrive humanity  doesn’t survive,

STOP THE RAPE OF THE EARTH

Put back what has been brutally stolen, her oil, metals, gold, 

Women must take their rightful place as nurturers of the earth, they are the earth

Once their monthly blood was sacred and returned to the earth to nurture new crops,

Rituals must be create to transmute the poisons in the oceans, on the land, and air,

You must go back to nature, that is why you are so lost, so scattered.

In every way from birth to death you must strip away the layers of poison from your body,

its in your cells,your DNA, your way of life,

I love you all as my children. ” -end of message

The time has come to renew the earth and ourselves before it is too late.

3 Planets in their elements, BIG BANG THEORY Astrology ritual from Tara Greene

3 Planets in their elements,  BIG BANG THEORY April 15-18

Copyright Tara Greene 2013- Infinity

 

April 15-18 3 “planets”  are in their own signs.

 

Planets, like us, are at their strongest when cosily ensconced at home. The Moon is called a planet by Astrologers.

She is in her home sign of CANCER. Where she rules the WATER roost, the womb, comfort security, roots, Mother, food, tradition, fertility, moody, oceans..

MARS is in his home sign ARIES till Sat April 20  MARS is at his FIERY WARRIOR  initiatory best, 

fighting, explosive, angry, threatening, Macho,competitive, arrogant, chest banging as we have seen from North Korea and the bombings in Boston.

VENUS is in her home sign TAURUS where she rules the EARTHY  roost of luxury, romance, sensuality, creativity, fine dining, massages, spas, money, 

Make the MOST of the Triple element strength.

Omnia Vincit Amor, or The Power of Love in the Three Elements
Benjamin West

Monday was the Moon’s Day, Tuesday is Mars Day,

Wednesday April 17 is the Big Bang day ARIES Sun conjunct Mars exact!

This is the precursor for the earthquake in Iran. Also the big

Solar flare that happened last weekend contributes to the unstable erratic insecure feelings.

We need to mellow out with VENUS in TAURUS.

Use the fire power SUN MARS= MASCULINE with VENUS  and MOON as FEMININE

as an equal balanced masculine and feminine pair.

This is a beautiful Alchemical image of the SACRED MARRIAGE or BIG BANG!

 

RITUAL of SACRED MARRIAGE

 

Keep it really simple

Have 4 stones and or 4 candles- little tea lights will do, smudge or incense for purification

Set up the ritual starting with lighting the candles from the east to south-west and north

Stand in your circle light the incense and breathe deeply

Hold you arms out to your sides, call in the powers of the

Sacred FEMININE,

 intuition, introspection receptivity, love, water, earth, fertility, birth

Then call out the MASCULINE  energies to come to you,

strength, courage, action, matter, Light, earth and air, Gods, add names if you like

Then close your eyes and slowly bring your outstretched hands together to the middle of your heart chakra

 bring your palms together as in prayer,

then call out the “As above,” the SUN and all the STARS the LIGHTS of heaven,  the Sky God symbols

and all the “As below”, the earth, the crystals, the sacred cenotes and underwater springs, caves, oceans,

and feel those two energies merge into your heart chakra,

Say All is ONE and One is ALL, this is the SACRED Marriage of the Masculine

and the Feminine,  the Sacred Bride and Her Bridegroom

the Yin and the Yang.

All is balanced and whole all is in order,

I am whole.

Stay in this prayerful position and let the energies flow through you.

You may feel the erotic kundalini energies naturally rise through you. That is good.

ENjoy it.

clearing the old energy before 2013 ritual from Tara Greene

Traditionally we need to end the old year before we can begin anew.

so Dec 30 and Dec 31 we should clean up old clutter, mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually,

Moon enters fiery LEO dec 30 EST @ 2:45 am -minutes ago as I write this to you

Moon promptly qunicunx’s Neptune- so weird spiritual quirky dreams about getting free-let me know what you dreamed about

Dec 30 is filled with lots of aspects. Leo Moon is full of passion, playfulness, big-hearted, leaders, wants to be in control.

lots of last minute fiscal cliff wheeling and dealing.

Leo Moon is ruled by the Sun

SUN  conjuncts Pluto @ 9 degrees 15  mins. of Capricorn in early am this is a ONCE A YEAR Aspect – I got the power!

and later 9:45 am PST Sun and Saturn in Scorpio form a quincunx = “pa pa Americano”- Neapolitan dialect for we don;t understand you

- see Video link below-

LEO Moon opposes Mars in Aquaurius @ 3 degrees early am. balances power is innovative, liberating

Leo Moon  makes Trines Uranus =brilliant heart-felt out of the box thinking

Moon quincunx Chiron in early Pisces,= difficult to put your finger on where it hurts.

Sextiles Jupiter in Gemini= sextiles are like being tickled under the chin- so have some good laughs and play hard

quincunx’s Pluto @ 5:52 pm PST -some power plays over dinner, who’s sitting at the head of the table?

Leo Moon squares Saturn in Scorpio @ 6:14 pm- did someone pull one over thinking they wouldn’t get caught? could  be “a fasten your seat belts it’s going to be a bumpy evening”- a la Bette Davis.

Moon quincunx’s Capricorn Sun 6:56 pm PST -the open-hearted Leo moon just doesn’t jibe with the emotional reserve of Capricorn’s, all business

All that lunar action and post Full Moon will keep you plenty energized.

spend some time reviewing your year. Get a notebook and pen and write down these topics?

What were your intentions at the beginning of 2012 ? How much did you actualize? Why did you have these experiences?

MEDITATION TO CLEAR THE PAST

I would work with obsidian,black tourmaline or amethyst stones or clear crystals, crystals anchor your intentions

Create sacred space by calling in the directions and the Archangels starting in the East with Fire and Archangel Michael,

moving always sun-wise or clock wise to the South place of Water call in Archangel Gabriel

to the West place of Earth and call in Archangel Ariel

to the North place of Air call in Archangel Raphael 

breathe deeply getting more relaxed and focus on watching your breath

just watch, become the watcher, who is doing the breathing, when you relax completely

focus on seeing the past year flash before your mind’s eye as a movie

see all the incidents and feel them tug on your 2nd chakra- 2 fingers beneath your navel

watch the movie, see yourself as the director, producer actor-

what’s the name of your Life movie in 2012?

It held many emotions, peaks and valleys, gains and losses,

it was what it was, it cannot be changed now and it is a teaching

you can clear any old patterns, and unfinished business now-

what is it that you want to release yourself from? Be clear about what that is and what its entangled with in a deeper context in your life

see yourself with a large black feather,or a broom in your hands

this feather or broom will sweep away all old unfinished issues in all the nooks and crannies of your mental emotional physical spiritual body

do this mentally, move your arms as you are really sweeping out the old, feel it, make it real

be clear about what where why and how those issues affect you- at the end, you will have a ball of “shadow energy.”

Thank the energies for being in your life as teachers

It would be good for you to mentally and spiritually take it outside and bury it, even in the snow or use running water, down the drain will do.

See the old energies cleared away, feel yourself empty, open, clear.

sit and meditate on feeling clear and begin to intend and stitch what you want to create in 2013.

allow any images to form in your mind’s eye.

write them down, stay in your circle for as long as you need,

Then thank the spirits and Angels for being present in your circle and release them one by one back to their directions starting in the east and moving south, west north.

Stay in an open mind about what you need to create in 2013.
