Snow storm is abundant crystaline purifying energy

That HEAVY snow storm Feb 8th is inundating New York, Boston, all the North East coast and right here in Toronto Canada where I am living. I am sending prayers to all of the thousands of people in the cold and without electric power especially to the poor Hurricane Sandy victims who havent gotten their homes back together even now, months later. Thousands of flights were cancelled.

Right now Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Chiron and the North Node are ALL in WATER signs.

Moon enters PISCES on Feb 10 at 1:20 pm PST.making 7 planets, points etc. in WATER element.

I am not surprised that all that water as above has manifested as LOTSA SNOW down below.

I know it is hardship for some, but even so, slowing down from being snowed in can be very rewarding.

Appreciate the IS-NESS of the time. PISCES energy is BLISS, surrender, dream with the snow.

Snuggle up to your cat, dog lover, husband, kids or just yourself. Put on many layers of clothing. Natural fabrics are best. Drink lots of hot liquids, a hot water bottle can feel like HEAVEN. always wear your socks to bed and keep your head covered.

There is a pristine beauty to fresh fallen clean snow. The air is cold but smells wonderful.

Snowflakes, each 6 sided one as unique and individual as each and every thing that exists, are pure crystalline energy.

Things that are alike in shape carry the same energy signatures, they are smilies, and form follows function.

Crystals are known as the holders of consciousness to the Indigenous people’s, in North & South America

honeycombs are 6 sided

the shape of the Star of David- symbol of Israel, adopted by the Jewish people, is the balance of the Heaven and Earth

in 3D the star of David becomes the MERKABAH, a gateway to stellar consciousness, a time travelling mechanism used by Drunvalo Melchizedek

which uses traditional breath work and imaginative trance work to enable one to travel anywhere in any dimension.

Stuart Wilde says the actual MATRIX is a 6 sided honeycombed shaped web of dark consciousness which has sealed individuals away from attaining higher consciousness.

Moon is in Aquarius

Moon trines Jupiter in Gemini PST and EST tomorrow

an optimistic aspect, stay near your computer and games, you will feel restless

Moon and Venus meet in Aquarius so the airy individuals should be feeling some emotion,

It is always COOL time with SUN and VENUS here, CHILLIN literally…..enjoy staying cool, DANCE to keep warm

otherwise its the winter of your DISCOntent- shake your BOOTY to keep toasty

Be safe be well

Blessings

Aquarius New Moon Occupy your heart, North Node

2nd New Moon of 2013
@ 21 degrees Aquarius occurs Feb 9 @ 11:21 pm PST/Feb 10 @ 2:21 am EST /
3:21 pm in Beijing CHINA

Sun and moon EXACTLY occupy and square the Nodes of the Moon-North- future & South-past.

This makes this a FATED , KISMET of a New Moon

 

Did you see the musical?

the pressure is on for us to choose collectively to move towards the North Node our Highest Spiritual goal, in Scorpio.

We needn’t feel LOCKED OUT OF HEAVEN, as the currently popular Bruno Mars song goes.

Are you feeling like a STRANGER IN PARADISE these days though? you know what I mean

this is the meaning of the NORTH /SOUTH NODE quest. We hold the KEY to our soul’s transformation in SCORPIO,

facing and owning our shadows

birth,death of what no longer serves the Aquarian collective.

This New Moon also squares the degree of the last Solar Eclipse Nov. 13 2012. we are sparked to act now on the cosmic ray that was seeded then.

Synchronicity alert!

my husband mentioned the song Stranger in Paradise earlier this evening from out of the blue, I sang a few bars.

I sang it onstage during an art performance years ago in Toronto.

I went searching for an image and found this, and Percy Faith was my 2nd cousin.

AH THIS IS PARADISE!

and so begins the Chinese NEW YEAR of the water snake to boot. GUNG HAY FAT CHOY

Lillith was the Snake in Paradise…FYI

click chart to view larger

Venus is also @ 10 degrees Aquarius

SOLAR identity, emotions, WOMEN and values are all on the same electric, eccentric, current of freedom, revolution, independence, outside the box,hi tech, detached, forward thinking group mind

New Moon of many waters

Neptune, Mars, Mercury and Chiron are all in Pisces within 6 degrees

Astrologers call this a Stellium-a lovel-y bunch of planets.

row row row your boat gently down the stream…..Empathic telepathy is rising, like flood waters and tsunamis.

Uranus and Athena are in 1st 10 degrees of ARIES square to PLUTO in Capricorn. Ogoing revolutions

Jupiter at 6 degrees GEMINI is on the Lunar eclipse degree of Nov 28 2012 urging us to open our minds to the split inside ourselves

Saturn at 11 Scorpio is squaring MARS, MERCURY AND CHIRON the wounded healer

ERIS, Goddess of Discord is exactly quincunx ( 150 degrees) from the North Node ,

Eris sextile Ceres ,Goddess of the Earth @ 19 of Gemini and new planet,

the North Node our highest spiritual Goal is then the FINGER of the Goddess aspect.

Things may feel heavy, dense, weighty, but He ain’t heavy he’s my brother.. we should be singing…

many new HIGHER FREQUENCIES to tune into

let me know how you are feeling it, I can sense the overlapping of many new protectors,

call on yours, you will be able to see them

OCCUPY your heart and soul gang

BLESSINGS,

TARA

Gung Hay Fat Choy Water Snake Slytherin Chinese New Year

Feb/ 10 New Moon at 21 degrees Aquarius is the Chinese New Year of the WATER SNAKE

Those born in the year of the snake have qualities of refinement, intuitiveness, gracefulness. They are exciting, dark, calm, stay centered. They are cunning and possessive. In snake years these qualities are strong, very much Scorpio like.

It will be an initiation the House of  SLYTHERIN from the Harry Potter Novel, Slytherin values are ambition, cunning, leadership and resourcefulness.

The Snake is an ancient Matriarchal symbol, not phallic.  The snake year is a time for shedding the old skin which you are outgrowing, which you know instinctively is too small for you.  Snake is a major symbol of transformation,as in the famous  OROBOROUS SNAKE biting its tail, symbol of eternity, eternal life, which to me relates to Scorpio.

Minoan bare breasted Snake Goddess from Crete

 

The 12 year cycle in the Ancient Chinese system is sidereal and based on the cycle of JUPITER which pass through a sign in about a year.

The SNAKE is equivalent to earth sign TAURUS, snakes are totally in contact with the earth.
Jupiter is in Sidereal Taurus now but due to precession, the planet will enter Tropical Cancer at the end of June,Gemini in Sidereal later in the year.

The Chinese calendar is Lunar and the date of Chinese New year changes every year, but it always starts on a New MOON.

The 12 animals of the Zodiac blend with the 5 elements blend, repeating every 60 years
Snake years- are characterized by dramatic elements

The last Snake year was the METAL SNAKE in 2001 the year of 911 and the famous Kubrick movie,
1989 was an Earth Snake, 1977 was the FIRE SNAKE, 1965 was the Wood snake,
1953 was the last WATER SNAKE year,
1941 was a METAL SNAKE
1929- the stock market crash was the EARTH SNAKE
1917 was a FIRE SNAKE ,1905 was a WOOD SNAKE
I am certainly not a Chinese astrology expert.
Snakes are worshipped world-wide. IN INDIA, Goddess Vinata was the mother of snakes, a water and underworld symbol. The Nagas- Demi-Gods and their beautiful wives, NAGINIS were depicted as half cobra/half deity.  The Hindu God Vishnu is often depicted sleeping on the serpent of Eternity.

Vishnu and KALKI with cobra snakes

I am thinking about the snake year in a more symbolic, metaphoric, feeling tone.
The snake symbolizes healing. The Caduceus, symbol of Medicine, has twin- {GEMINI}  snakes which is the ancient and modern sign  for Doctors.

Hermes with Caduceus

Caduceus is also the name of an amazing Northern Arizona winery owned by Rock Star frontman Maynard James Keenan

Caduceus winery is amazing, we picked some up in Jerome Arizona and Page Springs near Sedona.

SNAKE MEDICINE in Native American tradition is about transmutation. Getting bitten by a poisonous snake is how one gets snake medicine powers. It is the power of creation, sexuality, psychic energy, alchemy, reproduction and ascension.

Groundhog Day/ St. Brigid's Day/ pagan Imbolc Light the fire

Groundhog Day/ ST. Brigid’sDay Candlemas/Imbolc

Copyright 2002-2015 Tara Greene – All Rights Reserved

Feb. 1 and 2nd, We are half way to SPRING in Northern Hemisphere

Not just I GOT YOU BABE for INFINITY but it’s a Traditional Irish and Pagan Holiday Celebrations

The song would more aptly be LIGHT MY FIRE- by the Doors, of course.

Groundhog Day was and is celebrated in the Modern Irish Calendar as Saint Brigid’s Day,or Bride’s Day, both a Catholic and Pagan Celebration of an ancient Goddess tradition,.

Known as Imbolc to Wiccans/Pagans, Christians overlaid the Ancient Goddess worshipers’ holiday renaming it Candlemas or the fest of the Purification of the Virgin. This celebration also relates to the midpoint between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.

It is a “cross-quarter” day in the 8 rounds of the Wheel of Time in the Solar based year. Since the Celtic Year was based on both lunar and solar cycles, it is most likely the holiday would be celebrated on the Full Moon nearest those 2 midpoints, when early spring flowers would begin to rise and snakes would come out of the ground.

The SNAKE is the precursor of the Groundhog, which the Romans replaced with a Hedgehog, which we… On Feb. 2^nd.

Ancient peoples of Ireland kept this day as very sacred. At the Megalithic and Neolithic sites in Tara, Ireland, the inner chambers of the passage tombs are perfectly aligned with the rising sun of both Imbolc and Samhain attesting to the value placed on this day.

Triple Goddess/Saint Brigid/Bride’s Sacred Day

In the Scottish Highlands where she was known as Bride, every morning the fire was kindled with an invocation to Bride:

“I will build the hearth
As Mary would build it.
The encompassment of Bride and of Mary
Guarding the hearth, guarding the floor,
Guarding the household all.”

The 10th-century Cormac’s Glossary states that Brigid was the daughter of the Dagda, the “Great God” of the Tuatha de Danaan – “woman of wisdom…a goddess whom poets adored, because her protection was very great and very famous.” Since poetry, filid, was interwoven with the aspects of divination, the vates, Brigid was seen as the inspiration behind divination and prophecy.

You can see Brigit above the south western door of the tower on Glastonbury Tor milking a cow.

INVOCATION TO SAINT BRIDE

“Dear Saint Bridget of the Kine
Bless these little fields of mine,
The pastures and the shady trees,
Bless the butter and the cheese,
Bless the cows with coats of silk
And the brimming pails of milk,
Bless the hedgerows, and I pray
Bless the seed beneath the clay,
Bless the hay and bless the grass,
Bless the seasons as they pass,
And heaven’s blessings will prevail,
Brigid – Mary of the Gael”

According to Robert Graves,she is the most Ancient Triple Goddess worshipped since time out of mind. The Goddess rules over scholars and poets. She is the Goddess of fire and inspirations in Ireland, the Goddess of poetry, creativity, smithcraft and healing. She also rules healing with water, and divination. She is said to rule over people who work with cows and chickens, brewers, fugitives, midwives, infants, printers, sailors, travelers, New Zealand, & Irish nuns.

This day symbolizes a time of transitions, initiations, new beginnings, of planting seeds that will sprout later. Brigid/Birgita represents the light half of the year,Her power brings the people out of the dark season of winter into spring, so, it is a very important time of the year.

She is the Goddess of Augury

In the Druidic tradition, poetry and augury were associated. She is patron of prophets and seers.

Celtic seers divined by looking into deep water and into flames. This is a great time to do divination.

Triple Goddess

She has two sisters with the same name. One aspect of her carries a blacksmith tongs and a sword, because she is also patroness of war; another aspect holds 2 healing snakes, from which the modern Doctor’s symbol is derived, the caduceus, the third aspect carries a wand with a crescent moon and a tablet.

Elements

Brigid rules the Waters. Many healing springs are dedicated to Brigid. Natural bodies of water also signify Her presence, particularly where three streams joined together. She also rules Fire, so it is customary to make candles for the coming year and bless them on this day.

Protecting Goddess

In her aspect as Brigantia, she carries a spear, an orb of victory, and wears a war crown. She symbolizes protection of the country from invaders and slavery.

Midwives

As Patroness of Midwives, she was invoked at the door of the home where the woman was giving birth, by the midwife. Who speke:

Bride, Bride, come in! Thy welcome is truly made, Give thou relief to the woman, And give thou the conception to the Trinity.

Brigid is the guardian of every newborn, their cradles protected with a woven Brigit’s Cross, an equal armed cross. Upon a safe delivery, the infant was blessed or “sained” by the midwife, with 3 drops of water on the child’s forehead, dedicating the Child to the Triple Goddess.

The “Holy Trinity” in its modernized Christian aspect, was just an overlay of the Goddess Triple Aspect since time out of memory. A candle was carried ‘round the bed sun wise three times. As Brigid is a Solar Goddess. We think of the Sun as masculine but originally all aspects of the Universe were considered Feminine.

Brigid Ruler of the Hearth

Especially in Gaelic Scotland, Brigid’s dolls are placed near the hearth on her Feast Day. The doll is usually dressed in white. A white wand is placed in her bed as a fertility charm. As she is patroness of agriculture, pastures, livestock, and abundance. An offering is made to her of dairy products. The Brigid doll is kept throughout the year near the hearth hung on a wall, or by a door, as a talisman of protection, then burnt the next year.

Light a Candle and Invoke the Goddess at this time-

I kindle this candle in the name of Brighid, Goddess of Smiths,

I sain this house in the name of Brighid, Goddess of Healers,

I smoor this candle in the name of Brighid, Goddess of Poets.

One folk tradition still continues in both Christian and Pagan homes on St. Brigid’s Day is that of St. Brigid’s Bed. Girls and young unmarried women create corn dollies to represent Brigid, these are adorned with ribbons, baubles shells or stones. A bed is made for the doll to lie in. On St. Brigid’s Eve Jan 31, the girls gather together in one house and stay up all night with the doll, are are later visited by all the young men, who ask permission to enter the home, and then treat the young maidens and the dolly with respect. The next day the girls carry the doll through the neighbourhood from house to house, where she is welcomed with great honour. Adult women stay home to welcome the Brigid procession and offer snacks and coins to the young girls and maidens.

Brigid is said to walk the earth on Imbolc eve. Feb 1st. Before going to bed, each member of the household may leave a piece of clothing or strip of fabric outside for Brigid to bless. The cloth are brought inside the next morning, believed to now have the powers of healing and protection.

BRIGID is alive and well.

The name “Britain” is a derivation of Brigit’s name. Britain was named for an ancient Celtic tribe, the Brigantes, who were the largest Celtic tribe in the country in pre-Roman times who worshipped Her as their Deity.

The tribe originated from an area now called Bregenz in Austria near Lake Constance. The word “brigand” comes from this tribe of fierce warriors. Her symbol is a flaming spear. Her worship spread, leaving behind places named in Her honour-Brittany in France, Brechin in Scotland, the name Brent, in England, any name containing Bride.

Britain’s symbol, the Goddess Brigantia, still found on their 50 cent coin is Brigid in her aspect as Goddess of the Land. In Old German/Yiddish the word “Fabrent” meaning burnt, honours this Ancient Goddess.

Britney Spears is carrying the modern archetypal literal name of Brigid, and strangely enough one of Brigid’s symbols is a flaming spear!

Britney Spears her name literally is St. Bridgit
A Sample of prayers used at St. Bridgid’s Day

Light 1 candle-

We gather together in this time of darkness. We look to the return of the light.

We look to the first light of Spring.

(Light two more candles.)

Goddess Midwife: Healer, Nurturer, and Herbalist.

Goddess Poetess: Bringer of Wisdom, Guidance and Prophesy.

Goddess Smithcraft: Keeper of Fire, Craftswomen, and Transformation.

Death Valley Beautiful inspiring landscape in paintings and film



Badwater, Death Valley by Napoleon Brousseau 1998 

Death Valley is a beautiful awe inspiring place. My husband Napoleon Brousseau turned me onto it. He used to go quite often and camp before it was a National Park. The landscape is varied, with names like "Devil's Cornfield." There are mesmerizing salt flats,feels like you are walking on the Moon. Surprisingly there is also water and a species of tiny fish that thrive in the super salinated waters. Death Valley is a misnomer- it was intended to keep prospectors away as it was believed there was gold there. There is a lot of silver and abandoned silver mines litter the valley. Borax- you know 20 mule train borax- was mined from Death Valley. It is a flame retardant and cleanser.  Nowadays there are modern hotels, date palms an dlotsof tourists. The night skies are amazing as no inerfering city lights.

For an artists view of Death Valley- see Napoleon's contemporary landscapes at http://www.napob.com
