Moon on the Lake by

… peering through the mists…

hrough the indulgence of reflection, I now see how fear plays a part in our soul’s evolvement, how it can girdle the life, but we can rise above them and seek the courage it takes to keep moving forward. We need fears resistance, it test our spirit, harnesses the will and forges our resolve to stay true to self, no matter what. … and the mists descend to cloud our vision.

The human condition is often plagued by many types of fears; the fear of failure, the fear of success, the fear of responsibility, the fear of change… the fear of loss, of having no confidence, the fear of having nothing and the fear of intimate connection, of not being good enough, or feeling deserving.

Giving up on things wasn’t an option for me, but reinventing them was.

Making adjustments and changes, became a game of dodging and weaving throughout my life. Mayhem often came and went as fast as lightening, but these experiences were etched indelibly on my heart as cruel lessons I must never forget… the mists can bring comfort and shield us from hurt.

For the most part my heart just wanted Just when I thought I was all washed up, left by the roadside withered and dying, to explore life, to have fun living out my heart discovered a rising greenish my dreams, conquering the world as I moon on the lake, as fragile beginnings pursued it. I believed if I just held my of a new and better time started to head high, stood proud and never gave up, I could make anything happen. What surface. It brought a calm reminder that surrendering to faith and trust in my I have learned is that, yes while it’s okay to have a go at anything, one must darkest hours, does bring the light back again. realise it gets dark sometimes, … but hope sees the mists rise again.

These can haunt us and terrify us into submission and apathy, even immobilising us at times, but every now and then they can also motivate us. I have come to know all these fears well having gone on ahead despite the pounding in my heart that said “stop, turn back, give up already, it could all go terribly wrong”.

Life has an uncanny way of responding to our needs when we least expect it…

Do we ever fully understand it all?

Wisdom instructs us to keep a sense of fallibility in our views and opinions, that true security is to be found within growth, reform and change, not control or being righteous. The ability to trust in the universal flow, even when there is none, is to accept that there is a gift in every experience whether perceived as good or bad. That we are never truly not alone unless we choose to be…so the mists descend to create space and give perspective.

S'Roya's 2014 Goddess Diary Limited Edition Diary

The most used words I learnt from my mother…

“This too will pass…” are etched on my memory, for they can never be used too often. I found that whenever things are spectacularly dreadful, or fantastically awesome, I would say them to myself.

It enabled humility in the face of adversity and gratitude for everything I received and taught me to maintain perspective. Nothing ever stays the same, as life is always moving forward.

hether you need to heal your body, make a significant life decision, connect to an important person, safeguard your life, or find a solution to a work challenge, effective use of your intuition is a major key.

To be intuitive means to be able to access the wise allknowing aspect of yourself and then to decipher the messages you receive and make empowering choices. Intuitive insights can come to you when you are awake, while meditating, dreaming, taking a shower, exercising, connecting to your body, or simply relaxing. While you may be more likely to access your intuition when you are in a meditative state, it can arise at any point, including often during a time of crisis.

Mona Lisa Schulz, in her book Awakening Intuition, writes, “Intuition is an internal form of perception of things that are not directly in front of us in the world. It’s an inner sight, a form of hearing, body sense, and emotion. It’s actually common to all the other senses and an enhancement of them.

What differentiates intuition from other senses is the unique form of expression it takes in each individual.”[ The difference between regular thoughts and intuition is the quality of information you receive. Thoughts come and go while intuition is often a persistent feeling. Thoughts are changeable; intuition is more profound and feels like an inner knowing. Thoughts are often based on linear thinking;

http://avalonmagazine-net.webs.com

The difference between regular thoughts & Intuition intuition is spontaneous and natural.

Thoughts are fleeting, but intuition is often accompanied by bodily sensations and unexplained occurrences.

Your intuition will not necessarily give you the message you want to receive.

This is one of the reasons you may tend to ignore it.

Intuition develops when you are willing to pay attention to your feelings and follow your hunches. Like exercising a muscle, the more you use your intuition, the more confidence you instil in yourself and the stronger your instincts become. The greatest power of intuitive insights is their ability to change the course of your actions and hence your life.

Your intuition awakens when you allow yourself to embrace your sensitivity, feel your emotions, and connect with nature. As you relax and allow yourself to get in touch with your body, you start to see the world around and within you from a different perspective.You begin to pay attention to messages from your body as well as the intelligence of the universe and your soul.

Recognizing Intuition Whenever I have inquired from my workshop participants how they recognize an intuitive insight, most have said, they experience a feeling of certainty, a knowing which is often sudden, emotional, and not based on logic or prior knowledge of the details involved. They may receive an

unexpected understanding, a vision, the cause of a particular health or life issue, the answer to a question they have been pondering, or guidance of what they have to do.

Some people also talk of tingling sensations, feeling changes in temperature, smelling scents, or experiencing a particular taste in their mouth. Others hear sounds, receive guidance through universal signs, or use cards, astrology, numerology, dreams, and other methods. Everyone is different and receives information in their unique way.

Your intuition becomes your compass, a navigating device that assists you to be flexible, adjusting your course based on internal wisdom as well as the external circumstances of your life.

Recognising the signs Signs can appear in your life in many different ways in order to guide you.

Paolo Coelho, the bestselling author of The Alchemist, shared with me that when he finds a white feather it is his sign to write a new book. Several of my workshop participants have talked about various signs that let them know if they are on the right track.

For instance, Carole shared that when she dreams about flying she knows abundance is coming into her life. Fran explained that when she finds money on the ground it is a sign to be careful as she or someone close to her may lose money. Tom told me that he had three people offer him the same book within http://avalonmagazine-net.webs.com

a week, which lead him to understand about his physical condition. Melissa, who was doing a job she hated and kept having car accidents. When she realised that her job was literally killing her, she changed he work and the accidents stopped.

To receive signs you may ask a question such as: ‘Universal Intelligence or the wisdom of my body please show me the next step I need to take.’ Then wait and be aware of any unusual events or persistent messages. They can come from dreams, people, a song you hear a book that falls of the shelf, etc. Be aware of your feelings, if your message or sign feels good then take steps forward.

i Seasonal Timing i Casting by the wheel of the Year

By Lucy Cavendish

M

agick works with natural cycles of the earth and of the heavens. There are eight traditional festivals in modern magick. Four are associated with the changing of the seasons and four are connected to the Universe – two solstices, two equinoxes. Use these festivals as a guide to timing your spells. The Witches’Year is said to begin at Samhain, so have fun and enjoy this guide to the Wheel of the Year.

Winter Solstice - Yule 20–23 December in the Nor thern Hemisphere 20–23 June in the Southern Hemisphere This is the longest night of the year.

The time of the greatest darkness and of severe cold in many lands. The energy is slow, internalised and withdrawn. It is a time of incubation, hibernation and conserving energy.

At the solstice, great celebrations were held through Nor thern Europe to call the sun back to life and warmth. Many ancient sacred sites were built to ritually honour and observe the solstices – and the winter solstice, the time of rebirth after the dea th of the cold time, is considered by many to have been one of the primary purposes of Stonehenge. This is a time for candle magick, rebirthing, beginning the process of recovery after healing, divination for the future, gratitude and giving thanks.

Cast for: If you are feeling lost, cast sto help you find your way through the darkness. Clearing of negativity and space clearing can also be worked with.

GODDESS OF AVALON Magazine

Samhain (pronounced Sow-en) 31 October/1 November in the Northern Hemisphere 30 April/1 May in the Southern Hemisphere This is the Witches’ Magickal New Year. It is the time of the ancestors, when ghosts walk with us and when we acknowledge and remember those who have gone before us. It is a time of harvest and a time to light the darkness, and we begin to make preparations for the cold times coming.

It has been adopted by popular culture and is known as Halloween, a variation of the old name, All Hallows’ Eve. This is a strong time for candle magick, scrying, divination to forecast for the year ahead, and connecting with ancestors.

It is also a perfect time to practise your mediumship skills.

Cast for: Finding a mentor, guide or benefactor, as older, wiser energies can be trapped at Samhain.

http://avalonmagazine-net.webs.com

Beltane 30 April–1 May in the Nor thern Hemisphere 31 October/1 November in the Southern Hemisphere This is the highly sexual fertility festival of the Ancient Celts, a festival that means ‘bright fire’ and will re-light the fire within you when you observe its magick. This is the traditional time for handfastings – pagan weddings. It is a celebration of beauty, sensuality and desire. Beltane is a purifying festival, when finally the cold days had departed, the animals could be moved into the higher paddocks to graze and time outdoors brought freedom and freshness. The fires that burned at this time lit up lovers meeting in the flowerfilled fields. Today, as the world about you warms, you will feel inspired to dance, laugh and enjoy friendship and even fall in love.

Cast for: Attracting a love or lover who is committed and extremely attracted to you.To focus on your physicality, your health, your desirability and power. It is a time to dress up and play, rearrange your social life, make new friends and have flirtatious fun. It is a time of abundance, good fortune and prosperity, and spells cast to attract these will be highly favoured while Beltane’s intoxicating energy holds sway.

Spring Equinox - Ostara 20–23 March in the Northern Hemisphere 20–23 September in the Southern Hemisphere This is a traditional Northern Hemisphere and Nordic celebration of fertility, abundance and new life. It is named for and devoted to the Goddess Ostara. It is linked to maturation, development, coming of age, initiation and is a joyful, hopeful time.

As it is an Equinox, the light and the dark are in perfect balance of equal duration, with the light growing stronger from the next day forth. So it is a celebration, too, of warmth. Many of its ancient traditions have been worked into Christianity’s rites of Easter – a direct reference to Ostara’s name. The eggs, the hare who brings them, and the sweetness of chocolate and treats are all traditionally the gifts of this kind and lovely Nordic lunar Goddess.

Cast for: Emotional balance, anything at all to do with equality and fairness, sexuality, physical strength and fitness, health and wellbeing, justice, education, fair dealing, abundance, friendships, physical makeovers, beauty, gardening, attraction.

Summer Solstice - Litha 20–23 June in the Northern Hemisphere 20–23 December in the Southern Hemisphere This is the festival of the faeries and is intensely joyous, celebratory and full of light. It celebrates and marks the longest day of the year and it gives us all the opportunity to relax, bathe in the warmth, have plenty of time to ourselves, or to spend with friends, play music, dance and be enchanted by the full flower of summer.

It is a festival that encourages us to slow down and relax, sunbathe, stretch and give thanks for the simple joy of being alive under summer skies.

Cast for: Physical strength and health, creativity, inspiration and friendships. Parties thrown at this time are all magickal. Good fortune is more easily activated and vitality and play are also encouraged.You will have strong connections to plants, trees and crystals.You are more telepathic at Litha, more relaxed, like a flower opening to the sun.Take good care of yourself as there can be a tendency to overdo celebrations.

Autumn Equinox Mabon 20–23 September in the Nor thern Hemisphere 20–23 March in the Southern Hemisphere This is the time of the descent into darkness, to strengthen ourselves: to make sure we are well, physically and mentally and to ready ourselves. As the dark grows and lengthens, there will be changes, even separations. We are asked to be more responsible, serious, earnest and honest with ourselves.

We must become leaders, and to begin to think for ourselves, and even vulnerable to others. This is a time of complexity, as the days have this one last moment of balance, before the dark consumes the light once again.

Cast for: Dedication, energy, independence, intelligence, practicality, study, qualifications, self-improvement, higher standards and making peace. It is a time for justice, to air grievances and to be sure we know where we stand with others before making commitments.

Lughnasad 1–2 August in the Nor thern Hemisphere 1–2 February in the Southern Hemisphere As the dark lengthens, it is time to harvest we and give thanks to the Universe for what es have created and to be grateful to ourselv Imbolc is a time of balancing 1–2 February in the Nor thern Hemisphere for being dedicated.

Places of the Goddess

BY CERI NORMAN

T

he Great Goddess is everywhere and in all things, for all things are of her. The Great Goddess was, and is, known to many; she wears many faces and has many names, or rather in truth she is nameless, for all the names we know her by are actually titles once you analyse them carefully. The Norse Freyja means ‘Lady’ and Frigga is ‘beloved one’ while the Celtic Brighid means ‘exalted one’ and Morrígan means ‘Great or Phantom Queen’ and the Greek Hekate means ‘far reaching 10

GODDESS OF AVALON Magazine

one’. It is names that can provide us with a clear link between the land and the Goddess in the form of place names, not just those of towns and villages, but also the names of groves, hills, valleys and waterways. This is not just true of the Old World; her names can also be found in European or Indigenous form in the New World too, in places like Canada and Australia.

Sometimes her presence is clear and the place name is truly ancient, other times names are more recent or the connection is stretched, perhaps http://avalonmagazine-net.webs.com

even made up. Where the name is old perhaps these places were once cult centres, or places where the Goddess was worshipped. Whether old or new these might still be places where we can still connect with her today? Éire or Éirinn are Gaelic terms for Ireland; the land is literally named for the Goddess Ériu, a Matron Goddess of the land and of Sovereignty. Britannia is a personification of Britain, literally the Goddess of Britain. Britannia may be Roman in name and appearance,

with her centurion’s helmet and shield, but she embodies something very ancient indeed. The name Britannia may derive from the Celtic Goddess Brigantia, who is a more warrior like form of the Goddess Brighid. The islands of the Hebrides may take their name from the local form of Brighid, Bride. Ireland, as well as Wales, Scotland, the Southwest of England and Brittany are littered with places named for Brighid; there are for example scores of Brighid Wells or Lady Wells – the Lady in question probably being a local form of the Goddess before the well was turned over to Lady Mary, Mother of God. Goddess Waterways All over Europe, and the world, waterways have been named for the Goddess in various forms, or perhaps the Goddess is the personification of the water and its blessed properties?

The Brent in England and St Bride’s Creek in Canada are named for Brighid. The Danube takes its name from Danu, the ancient Mother Goddess of the Celtic peoples, Sabrina lends her name to the Severn and the Seine, the Boyne for Boanna, the Wharfe for Verbeia, while the River Clyde in Scotland, the Clutha River in New Zealand and Clyde, the suburb of Sydney, Australia, all derive their name from the Goddess Clota.

In Scotland and Ireland there are many places and features named for the Cailleach, the Winter Crone or Hag; her name is usually translated as ‘veiled one’.

In Ireland can be found the Ceann Caillíin (‘Hag’s Head’) County Clare and Sliabh na Caillí (‘Mountain of the Cailleach’) in County Meath while in Scotland there is a multitude of sites named her, such as Beinn na Caillich (‘Mountain of the Cailleach’) on Skye,

Cailleach Head in the Highlands and Glen Cailleach in Perthshire, which has a strange myth - and even a ritual, that is still carried out today - associated with the Cailleach. Carlin or Gyre Carling may be another name for this Hag Goddess and many Carlin stones can be found all over Scotland.

In Ireland many places take their name from the Goddess of Summer and Sovereignty, Áine; Tobar Áine/Toberanna, (‘Well of Áine’), Dunany/Dun Áine and Lissan/Lios Áine, (both mean ‘Áine’s Fort’), and several Cnoc Áine (‘Hill of Áine’) including the one in County Limerick where rituals to Áine where conducted right up until the late 19th Century.

Anu or Danu is also well known in the names of places and features, the infamous Paps (‘Breasts’) of Anu are a pair of rounded hills in County Kerry.

In Wales many sites take their names or nicknames from Goddesses: Bedd Branwen (‘Branwen’s Grave’) is a round barrow on the Isle of Anglesey, where the Goddess Branwen is said to be buried, a rock off the coast of West Wales is called Caer Arianrhod (‘Palace of Arianrhod’), the Welsh Goddess of the Stars, while the Pentre Ifan burial chamber in South Wales, is nicknamed Ceridwen’s Cauldron after the Welsh Goddess of Magic.

In Scandinavia, and those lands settled by Vikings or their descendants, the names of several Norse Goddesses can be found.

Friggeråker in Sweden and Friden, Freefolk and Froyle in England all take their name from Frigg, the Queen Goddess of the Aesir. Many Scandinavian place names also make reference to Freyja, a Vanir Goddess of fertility, such as Frøihov (‘Freyja’s temple’) and Frövi (‘Freyja’s sacred http://avalonmagazine-net.webs.com

enclosure’). Scandinavia itself may be named after the Norse Goddess of Snow, Skiing and Winter, Skadi.

Germany too has its share of Goddess inspired names, often from the Goddess of Spinning and Witchcraft called Holle or Holda. In Hildesheim and Vogelsberg there are several places, mountains, pools and other features named for her. There is also a theory that Holland, and therefore New Holland in Australia as well, owes its name to Holle.

The capital of Greece is named after the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena, and many Greek and Roman Goddesses have places named after them in the USA, such as Minerva in Ohio, Aurora in Maine, Ceres in Virginia, Diana and Venus in Texas and Vesta in Minnesota. Victoria in Australia may have been named for Queen Victoria, but it is also the name of the Roman Goddess of Victory.

Wherever you are in the world, the Goddess is around you, in the land formations and in the names of places and features. The forms and curves of her body are the hills and valleys, her breath is the air we breathe, she is in the waters that provide us with life and she is within the earth beneath our feet.

t n a w u o y Do ? h t u r T e h t

D

o you think you could handle the real facts about the world that you live in? Would you feel so unsafe that you would tell me that I am crazy?

It might feel like you have to change so many things that you just couldn’t do it – but you can..You can live in the burbs and become free - a fringe dweller in the city. Don’t be apathetic about what is happening around you.

Don’t be scared into inaction or overwhelmed into disinterest.You have the power to change these things, but you have to be aware of what to change. These truths affect you now and affect your children’s future.

Socrates, 500 years BC taught that the key to freedom was asking the right questions. Questions stimulate thought, debate and discussion, from which solutions will arise. It is not about being a sophist or a sceptic whose religion is to believe nothing.

It is the ability to say, “Hang on this doesn’t add up. This doesn’t make sense.”

The propaganda merchants have made us believe that if we ask “Why not?” that the same thing will happen to us that happened to Kennedy. But your assassins are not on a grassy knoll.

They lay in wait in your ignorance and inaction. They shoot at you in your own home from the TV.

The Truth About Television We spend so much money on these addictive toys. But they are so much more than that. They hypnotically flash at 25 cycles per second against an electronic impulse of 80 cycles per second. This harmonic pattern of vibrations is what makes you sleepy when you drive or take a train. Like a skilled hypnotist it lulls you into a wakeful trance and opens you to you receptive best. Why? Not to programme us to be all that we can be. Rather TV instils paralysing fear through cops and robbers’ shows, hate and disaster consciousness through the news that ignores the good and great human achievement. TV showcases desires, greed, debit and consumerism to keep you enslaved to the banks. Sex is obsessed and downgraded into lust, perversion and fetish rather than the most empowering magick available to every individual. Feelings of inadequacy are played upon so strongly that millions of man-hours and endless energy are wasted at gyms rather than encouraging you to use your energy to pursue things that will give you back your freedom. If all of the energy from gym equipment was channelled into generating electricity we could run our cities on free power. Instead human life force energy is pointlessly expended and wasted.

So it is not surprising that governments defend our right to have TV in remote areas. Does this make sense? Ask yourself why is the government more interested in providing a national broadband network than a better health care system or improved literacy?

The Truth about Social Media The promotion of social media should be termed “anti-social media.” It has just been school holidays but the

children in my street did not go out to play and interact. They stayed inside watching TV, Facebooking or playing video games.Young couples go on dates but they do not talk. They take their smart phones and spend the time texting and tweeting as they are eating.

This puts me in mind of the Loa Tzu maxim in The Tao chapter 80, on how to control society via making the people content to remain in seclusion and stay at home: 1. "Let nations grow smaller and smaller and people fewer and fewer.

2. Let labour saving devices abound but never get used as the people are provided with everything; 3. Let the people fear death such that they do not go far from home; 4. Although there are boats and carriages, there are no places to ride them.

5. Weapons have they and armour too, but they are hidden and not used.

6. The people should have no use for any form of writing more complicated than knotted ropes.

7. Let them be concerned with good food and beautiful clothes; with their homes being beautiful yet uneventful and with customs that do not offend others.

8. They may be so close that they can hear the barking dogs and the crowing cocks in neighbours lands yet never go there; and folks grow old and will die and never once meet."

It seems ‘the powers that be’ have found a way to achieve this by twisting the internet away from being our best chance of uncensored freedom into social control via social media and http://avalonmagazine-net.webs.com

government controlled broadband.

The Truth About The National Broadband Network Added to that, it must be remembered that the internet, from its inception, was a National Security Network tool. Permission was granted for it to be utilized by universities so that governments could track radicals in these hot beds of human thought.

When its use became popular ‘the powers that be’ lost control of this tool to control the masses. For one brief instance we have enjoyed freedom of speech as the Internet became privatised. However, Twitter is about to be sued for being an uncensored neutral tool for freedom of expression.

How can the governments regain control of something like twitter that was used to remove a government in Egypt and Syria? Easy, if they make it a government-controlled server again, undercutting the private servers, then things that are unapproved will be speedily removed.

The Truth About The “Problem Reaction - Solution” Scenario They want to take away our ability to “See - Question - Think and say No!” They want to substitute it with the oldest form of population control by propaganda, the “Problem - Reaction - Solution” scenario. It means that when a crisis occurs the public reacts by saying “something should be done about this,” to which the government provides a solution. This process should be called: “The artificially created problem – Media dictated reaction – Forced into one forgone conclusion.”

Example: Problem A: “9/11 and the Weapons of Mass Destruction.” Reaction - huge media coverage to promote feelings of being unsafe from terrorists resulting in a GODDESS OF AVALON Magazine

13

Do you want the Truth? continued...

public out cry to “Protect us.” ” Solution - “War against Terrorism,” which really means new laws, which equate to huge losses of individual rights. Most governments can now legally detain you without reason and without access to any legal council for as long as they want. True result: The government got what it wanted but the public didn’t.

Another example: Problem B: “School shootings against ever younger and more defenceless targets” Reaction - “A huge media coverage to promote feelings of being unsafe from guns.” Solution – Gun controls, that really means public disarmament and the loss of our right to defend ourselves. True result: The government got what it wants but the public didn’t.

Remember that there is more than one solution to any problem. Alternatives have been offered.

An Alternative Solution to Problem A: People have long called for their country to not meddle in the politics of nations that do not affect them thus not making their people targets of reprisals.

Alternative Solution to Problem B: The NRA has offered to put an armed guard in every US school, as the government won’t do it.

These are only 2 simple logical alternatives that have been offered yet how much media has been given to these or other viable options? Enough for the public to make an informed decision? Or is the media hypnotising 14

GODDESS OF AVALON Magazine

the unthinking into believing there is only one solution? And how good will this one solution really be for you? I am sure that you could think of better ones for yourself.

The Truth About What is Good for Us? What if most of the things we have been brain washed into thinking are good for us are, in reality, bad for us?

Cosmetics What if cosmetics and the chemicals that we are told to slew on our skin really aged it faster in order for them to sell you more cosmetics? And what if all of those skin care chemicals made your skin far more susceptible to skincancer?

It is reasonable to think that these kind of subtle marketing campaigns exist where you pay for the problem and the solution. Especially when you consider the fact that most of the cosmetic companies are owed by the big pharma companies that have cancer treatments to sell.

Cancer What if they have known the answer to cancer since 1951, but that we have not been told as big pharma is making billions of dollars out of both the research and the end treatment stages?

What if it had been found that cancer performs a positive function in the human body? What if it is supposed to wrap up destructive viruses and toxins and await its own destruction by an enzyme that should be present in our diet but that has been depleted within all modern processed foods? Why are they taking our right away to have the http://avalonmagazine-net.webs.com

last say on our own medical treatment?

In ancient societies it was only slaves who were not allowed to decide their own fate. Have we become a nation of slaves? We need to demand the right to make our own informed health decisions.

Vitamins What if mega dosing on vitamins is promoted by big pharma, as they now own most of the vitamin companies?

Ask yourself, “If they are doing that, what is their real agenda?” as in the past their methods of marketing have been very insidious. What really is in the supplements that you take and are they really good for you? What about mineral supplements? Why aren’t they promoted? Why are they passing laws to prevent us treating simple ailments with proven effective and simple herbal treatments we can grow in our own garden? We have to demand our rights for the freedom to take care of ourselves.

Immunisation What if immunisation, like the cervical cancer vaccine, which has just been forced on to millions of teenage women and men, is in reality designed to give cancer later in life? What if it is more about the control of the ageing population than hopes of longevity for our children? We have to demand the right to make these decisions for our children.

Preservatives What if the most encouraged and legislated preservative in modern foods – sulphur dioxide - in everything from breakfast cereals to wine – was a vasodilator known to cause strokes and

heart attacks? What if it is being put into our food for the same reason, to help eliminate an ageing population? How would you feel if I told you our governments are seeding clouds with it to try to make it rain even though we have had the wettest season on record in years? We have to demand the plain disclosure of real poisons in our foods and in our environment.

Would you feel helpless, powerless if all of this is true?

The Most Powerful Word What if I told you that you could do something about it?

All you have to do is to start saying the most powerful word in the universe.

NO! We have a choice. We always have a choice.

We have to demand the reinstatement of all of these rights that we have lost. This is the system that we have co-created with our passivity and apathy. We have been so distracted by our life styles that we have been hoping some one else would do something about it. But it is up to you. We can make a better system if we start demanding that it be so.

Naturally Jane...

T

he jungle-a place of danger, fear, and only for the bravest of spirits to venture to. For the “bravest of spirits,” we are attuned with male imagery.

Mother Earth’s wild jungles and natural scenery are deemed inappropriate or unsuitable environments for femininity; especially those women who are “protected” by the laws of femininity, virtue, and womanhood. Those women of delicate skin, and features of the “right hue” are placed in a category, where that is distant from Mother Nature. And let’s not forget, if they are in the midst of Mother Nature’s wild forces, their male protector is there to save the day.

Yet, in the song and video, Roar, by pop singer Katy Perry, the old story of the Tarzan and Jane psychology becomes a myth. The myth of civilizing the barbaric natives becomes a comic.

Here, in Roar, the archetype of Jane is brought into the story through Katy Perry. A plane crash, plus her male hero, cell phone, bag of necessities, and our damsel in distress is prepared and ready-to-go to survive the wild jungle.

Or so we thought? Then, crash! Her realm of protection has come to a halt.

With the tiger’s vengeance, her beloved hero disappears, and our timid damsel is left in the dark jungles, by herself.

S

o now the plot thickens. . . Here, we have the presence of darkness, as Katy Perry’s character roams around aimlessly, presumably ignorant of her environment. Notice the vigilant stereotypes of darkness. Her first interaction with the crocodile and tarantulas are of traditional ideas - the scary creatures, whom we should all fear. One of the most potent sections of this performance are the watching eyes. Yes, those scary eyes, tiny indications that danger is surrounding her.Yet, this image simply remains an illusion. The moment that Katy Perry contorts into a tiger-like position the awakening begins. She is not alone, and those scary eyes, were none other than fireflies, or (symbolically) those energy sources brought to life, through darkness. Her attunement, alliance, and reception of darkness is what allows for this naturalization to happen. “Jane” has created multiple meanings of the term transformation.

As in this story, “Jane” has re-claimed her innate, natural and feminine self.

An environment, which was distant from her, has now become her key source of knowledge, wisdom, and empowerment. A long way from the presumed ignorance and “sinful” nature of our Biblical Eve, isn’t it?

After her encounter with the Dark Goddess, through night, our empowered Jane begins the work in centering her power source. “Jane” is now interacting with the living creatures—the elephant, crocodile, and monkey-like species. She has tamed them, but in a way that respects their animal senses and power. The ridiculous perception of “dominion” over nature has been erased. Harmony and balance are awakened.

But wait! Our dynamic Jane’s interest

with night, heightens more as she re-visits the mysteries of the Dark Lady, at night, entering a cave. The magic takes over her, and she sees the drawings moving on the wall, literally.

Seeing the ferocious tiger is no longer a figment of her nightmares, but an internal, powerful vision of herself.

And once again, it is from the darkness where “Jane” has re-claimed her power.

Fully transforming herself, where she personifies nature; while also becoming nature, herself. Her attire is made of the very plants and fruits that highlight her beauty. She has become part of a cultural interaction with the animals of that land.

Then, there is the final test. It is that very same tiger within that she must now confront in actuality. And confront, she does. The tiger of her spirit becomes far more powerful, and awakening than the physical manifestation. Soon, the ferocious tiger joins the other creatures whom “Jane” has taken under her wing of feminine nurture. And Mother Nature has spoken. All living things are comfortable in “Jane’s” domain as they find harmony, knowing that they are loved, safe, and protected. They are not “ruled,” dominated, or prone to an environment that subjugates their very existence. With the presence of the feminine, they become nourished; and the jungle is no longer wild in the context of survival of the fittest.

Rather, wild has become re-defined to ensure freedom-spiritual, physical, and psychological. Concerning our beloved “Jane’s” connection to animals, it is crucial to understand that naturalization has broken down the barriers between humans and other species of the animal kingdom.

In many ways, the domestication of these animals have presented a rather http://avalonmagazine-net.webs.com

auspicious aura, regarding the reaction between animals and humans.

The ferocious tiger, once stalking his next victim, becomes the playful “kitty” within Jane’s domain. Dismantling artificial hierarchies in the animal world, is a key component for women to connect with their Goddess self. In this scene, “domestication” has become none other than re-naturalizing ourselves with other living beings.

The playful nature with the elephant, brushing the teeth of the crocodile, and taking pictures with the monkey have come to showcase how she is able to instill cohesion and respect amongst the different life forms in her environment. Even the waterfalls becomes harmonious and peaceful.

The often perceived, “wildness” and “danger” of this body of water are illusive beside woman.

Her very existence brings calmness to any environment. Water sources become precious jewels, assisting in the channeling of this feminine energy. And we are meant to become nourished in it, while giving back to its existence. Of course, the natural berries Katy Perry uses on her lips is another symbol of woman being naturally familiar with her environment. Thus, there is no need for testing certain products on animals, causing an imbalance with natural harmony. Even make-up and beautification becomes more connected to the natural world.

Notice the transformation of Katy Perry’s character from her image as a lost, delusional tourist, to a natural woman, literally. Her natural existence is what highlights and radiates her beauty. Natural woman.

Natural beauty. A Natural “Jane.”

DYI with the Angels

J

ust recently, I found myself needing a toolbox. I’ve never had a toolbox before - or needed one for that matter, that kinda thing wasn’t my department, especially if my attempts at defying the odds of how many ways you can sculpt a nail with a hammer in high school woodwork were anything to go by.

However, you could imagine my excitement in conjuring the myriad of treasure that would bestow itself upon me when I opened it - keeping in mind this toolbox was not the biggest box

on the face of the earth..nonethless it was mine and appropriately dressed in black and red with suitable punk skull sticker attached to identify it’s claim to me.

I am no DIY Goddess, but I’m pretty sure the rays of the Gods bathed me in glorious golden sunbeams and Angelic harmonious choruses of enraptured awe when I assembled my first t.v cabinet, 2 coffee tables and a daybed from flatpack city and managed to keep them standing upright and even

bearing the weight for which they were intended some months later.

Scooters and windows were WD40’d into submission from their rusty strangleholds, and appliances that had never known the magic of gaffa tape and the fixing prowess of my fist were reborn again.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could fix ourselves in such a way?

At times when our whole world crumbles down around us and the foundations shake with bearing the

weight of it all and you threaten to be lost underneath it buried with ghosts of the past and heavy with the grief of the failure of things that could not be sustained any longer, arms and hearts grown weary of holding hopes so sigh and of dreams intended and stifled with complacency, never borne or nurtured into reality..could we open that toolbox and be reborn?

My toolbox contains the usual assortment of screwdrivers, shifters in not one, but 2 sizes, assorted pliers, a torch, hammer and random extra bits of spare flatpack assembly that I have no idea what else to use for, but I better hang onto it just in case something crops up. There is sandpaper to bite at the ragged edges, and smooth the way forward for the prep-work of rebuilding – not walls, but strong foundations upon which to grow on. Sometimes though, you need to borrow bigger tools from the neighbours to bolster and maintain the path constructed forward, and so my toolbox also holds a special section of it’s own for the tools of Magic and Divine Intervention, and in this case of the Angelic variety. Now I’m not saying it’s stuffed with golden feathers, but calling upon our Angels in times of need can be a most powerful tool to aid you and hold faith in as you rebuild the dessicated structures of your life.

Magical Tools such as salt baths can cleanse and heal the auric fields, promote relaxation and restful sleep.

Wearing your favourite crystal can lift your vibrational and energy levels and stepping out into nature to breathe deeply and earth yourself within Gaia’s welcoming arms are all simple things

that we can utilise to promote release, healing and new growth.

Time spent with your favourite oracle deck or three, or even your pendulum - I am certain mine carves crop circles into the atmosphere akin to Saturn’s rings it gets used so much, but I am fortified with the strength of the Angels; Michael’s sword to cut ties, Rochel’s rainbow coloured gaffa tape of love to stick together the broken bits of my heart, Raphael’s nails of golden energy and Phuel’s power and strength to move forward.

In her amazingly apt (and in my well dog-eared copy) of her book ‘Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert wrote ; “This is what rituals are for. We do spiritual ceremonies as human beings in order to create a safe resting place for our most complicated feelings of joy or trauma, so that we don’t have to haul these around with us forever, weighing us down. We all need such places of ritual safekeeping.”

Ritual is intent into action.

It is peace and healing. In the darkest times when you feel so alone, that faith, love and strength is empowering, to conquering the fear of failure. To showing yourself you can achieve almost anything you set your mind to.

Angelic rituals, such as the ones Angela McGerr gives us in her book ‘An Angel A Day’ invite Angels into our lives so we can work with their energies towards healing, growth and unconditional love. Here is a simple ritual from this book with Matriel, Angel of Rain to help you to cleanse away something from past or present.

Matriel’s message to you is :

http://avalonmagazine-net.webs.com

“I am the silver shower that sustains all life, for what can live without my aid?

My rain also mingles with your sadness and sorrow, blending my drops with your tears so that they are absorbed and cleansed away; in every drop I hold a little of your past life. Use this powerful image to mentally wash away issues so that with my assistance you may enjoy a fresh start in life” To invoke Matriel and her aid you can say : “Matriel, Matriel, Matriel, I need your loving assistance to wash away the past and refresh the present. Please be with me to help me do this for my highest good. In love and light, love and light, love and light.”

Visualise yourself standing with pure water washing over you, you are shining bright.

You know though, all the tools, advice, promises, affirmations, and ritual in the world to empower you, are just empty words unless you choose to ACT upon them.

Bring your ritual intentions to life by physically rebuilding, piece by piece the aspects of your life that require new growth, one little bit at a time.

Today a t.v cabinet, tomorrow the world!

The very next step

By Joanne Eussen

S

omeone special has just left your life.You may have been there with them holding their hand as they slipped through the open window. Or you may have been a thought that passed briefly through their mind as they left this earthly time. Perhaps you were far away, and unable to be present in body, but you were touched by their spirit as they floated on a soft breeze into the next part of their journey. No matter what your role during this time, this is your journey.

There is no path more personal than that of grief and loss. This is the road less travelled as no two loses are ever the same. No two people will experience the same emotions at the same times, or move along their paths at the same speed. This journey of unfamiliar travel can be a dark and lonely road, with no signposts, and no end in sight.

The how’s and why’s get tangled with the pain, and bounce off raw emotions

to re-emerge as what if’s and maybes.

The emptiness inside creates a bigger void which gives birth to feelings of guilt and anger. The shaking hand extends with a finger pointing, seeking a target for the poison of blame, while the body moves in autopilot oblivious to its surroundings.

The very next step you take will determine the path you will travel.

Reach out.

Reach out for memories. These are the binding which will help your healing process start.

In the beginning these memories may also feel raw and sharp against your torn emotions. Continue to gather them. Hold them close to you, and pass them to others in your circle.

Accept and hold the memories shared by the others, and as yours return to you, they will be warmer, more healing, and a comfort to hold. As time http://avalonmagazine-net.webs.com

passes these memories are the ribbons which will hold you together, to keep you moving forward and to light your path.

Reach out to seek guidance from those who have walked a path similar to yours, or to those who are teachers or carers, or people trained to walk beside you as you travel your path.

Acknowledge the times when the emotions rise so high, that the torrent must be released. Seek a safe place and welcome the tears to flow, as these tears also become a firm binding like healing laces to tie your memories together.

There are no reasons to keep stock of the tears, or to count the days as your travel your journey. There are no shortcuts, and no avenues to jump off to avoid more hurt. There are however, faces along the way, with hands ready to meet yours as you reach out. Reach out to say “Please help me” as you take the very next step…

The Goddess g n i h t a B l a u t i &R

BY SIOBHĂ N MURPHY

R

itual bathing has been a part of many civilizations for centuries. Ancient Egyptians were renowned for their extensive skin and body preparations. Queen Cleopatra and other women of the time would use honey and salt to condition their skin and milk in their baths smooth and soften their skin. Mary Queen of Scots used to bathe in red wine and Madame Pompadour relaxed in the waters of herbal infusions. Greeks and Romans also used baths and the famous city of Bath in England is built on top of three mineral-rich thermal hot springs where people have been bathing for over 8000 years. Turkish baths are still in operation today where bathing and massage is weekly or sometimes daily activity.

The natural goddess energy encourages us to look our best and preserve our youth for as long as possible. By engaging in a bathing ritual we connect with our divine feminine force and allow ourselves to be pampered. We are valuing our bodies and our natural beauty and our soul can shine. Weekly ritual bathing will help your relax, encourage creativity and help you to fall in love with your beautiful inner goddess.

Before you begin gather the following items: Two clean large thick luxurious bath towels. Optional is a heated towel rack that will keep the towels toasty. It is absolutely divine to on exiting the bath water to be wrapped in a fluffy warm towel.

Robe, Kimono, Flannel PJs, fluffy socks or slippers. If you have a heated towel rack you can opt to sneak your robe or PJs on one of the rungs for a warm treat.

Candles, incense, aromatherapy conductors & lighter or matches. You can also use electric night lights or if you prefer, you can light cones or sticks of scented incense. Be careful of electricity in close proximity to water and also be careful of candles and the danger of fire. Many modern candles are designed to burn out by themselves when they reach the bottom of the can or glass device they are contained in.

Snuff out (said to hold the magickal essence of the space better than blowing out candles) the candles when you are finished and keep them away from curtains and other material that could potentially catch fire.

Loofah, sponges, scrubbers, washcloth can be used to wash with or use a natural sponge.

Play with a loofah to remove newly softened skin. Use a back scrubber to get to hard-to-reach places.

Dry skin brushing before you bathe is a fantastic way to eliminate toxins and dead skin. This is a simple way to help stimulate the lymphatic system. It is also can help control or break down cellulite.

The heat of a hot or warm bath will generate steam that naturally opens the hair cuticles and the pores of the skin. It also soften nails and is the perfect time for using a foot or body scrub. After you have soaked for 5-10 minutes and allowed the steam to penetrate your whole body, apply your a face mask. Rinse the masks off after the appropriate time delays. A hot bath is also an excellent time to do a hot oil conditioning treatment on your hair.

Apply olive oil to your hair and wrap your head in a plastic shower cap or small towel to prevent dripping. When you sit into the bath you can remove the cap or towel to give your hair cuticle maximum conditioning heat.

You may want to shampoo your hair in the shower after you finish your bath.

This plant helps bring balance to the body and spirit removing negativity.

Seeing her in all her beauty with good and bad, Is what we feel is needed.

This message is what we deliver, In hopes it will not be unheeded!

in some stories that has been created by your species tell of the mermaid looking at herself in a mirror. We find this connection very amusing indeed! The message we are trying to bring forth is that your race must take some time and reflect on the past events. All the answers you seek are all there at your disposal! Evolving forth from this past species may be hard for some, but it becomes essential for the sake of the future! For being at the frontier of something new can become scary for some. Thus these people find the past mistakes comforting and familiar; they are the ones who will try to keep the rest firmly in the past.

More and more of you will find this empowering and push for this evolution taking care of the life giving force the way it should be. Not repeating any of the past mistakes moving forwards to a better caring planet! The fight for this will not be easy and there will be huge waves going forward on the incoming tide. Then there will be the ebb where these waves will recede! Unlike the Ebb and flow of the tides it will either be driven forward or held back. The conclusion to this rest on the human race! Please never forget the oldest of all recycling that is the life giving element WATER!

hange occurs in our life sometimes whether we like it or not. It happens!

When we come to realize that change happens to all of us the sting of it lessons, as we know from time to time it will happen to everyone. Not that we wish tribulation or change to happen to our family or friends of course but knowing they too will endure times of change allows us to not feel so alone throughout our process. We can sometimes even learn from them if they’ve indeed been through something we can now relate to. And in the future we can help others possibly form what we’ve learned during our times of change.

Throughout these often unnerving times we can feel extremely vulnerable but we have the power to make choices from the changes that have occurred.

Even changes that are for the better often come with decisions that needs to be addressed. So let’s look at what to do when changes come about. One of the keys to dealing with changes is that we should never fear them, learn to accept that they happen and challenge your self to adapt and grow from them. Be gentle on your self as you go through the changes and don’t assume they will only take moments to conquer. Take the pressure from your self and realize they may take a little time to adjust to. We all face changes, they are apart of life and no one goes through their life without many changes happening. The more we learn to accept and embrace them the better quality of life our lives will be throughout it. Resistance only lengthens the process and makes or life suffer longer.

Life is full of changes and it’s valuable to learn the stages of it. http://avalonmagazine-net.webs.com

Denial, uncertainty and acceptance all play their part in coping with change.

When you recognize these as part of what you are going through you begin to understand that what you maybe feeling is normal. Change can be extremely testing on our soul, it can make us feel helpless and insecure because our life has changed or how we thought it was going to be is now different. We have to learn a new normal in many cases and this can be a very painful and disturbing realization.

But when we begin to accept the “change” our life can begin to move forward again. Instead of denying the change we can start taking action towards a new path. When you reach this phase of change, listen carefully to your heart; it has your answers, then begin to progress. Change often forces us to look at our lives and make important decisions. Seeking your answers from within allows you to understand more completely how the change needs to be addressed.

Sometimes it will require you to do nothing but let go of what was, while other times change will force you to have to make adjustments to your life.

Listen then make a decision to take an action or not.

Becoming skilled at being adaptable to change takes experience & faith but when we become proficient at it we gain strength, courage, and confidence from growing through the changes that have occurred. Each time we’re faced with change we must press through them otherwise we get stuck living in the past and our life becomes stagnate and unfruitful. Accepting changes permits us to see them as apart of our life and not the end of it. Triumphing over change is an essential ingredient for your image to continue flourish and for our journeys to be happy. God bless GODDESS OF AVALON Magazine

Dance of the Bees

ithin the garden of wonderland the black and yellow small ones tirelessly constructed honey coated seas, mathematical shapes, and a golden castle fit for their queen. Silently they worked, as her humble servant, asking little in return…

Invoke bee energy to bring guidance to: • Communication • Fertility • Accomplishing projects • Being productive • Labour and work efforts • Organisational skills • Community causes • To feel the sweetness in life • To acknowledge that with life comes death • Building and structural ideas

Affirmation: "I work hard asking little in return."

Attracting bees to your garden: • Never use pesticides • Plant - lavender, marigold, sunflower, nasturtium, sage, and borage • Leave a dish filled with water and pebbles for them to drink from

The story of Fjalar and Galar - Honey and Mead: It is believed that in Germanic mythology, two brothers Fjalar and Galar, drained the blood of Kvasir, a wise man of his internal essence which carried within knowledge and intelligence. They mixed his blood with honey in a magical cauldron until the elixir of mead was created, filled with an enormous amount of power.

The legend of Odin lives on today, as he continues to carry great power and knowledge, once stemming from the 'golden mead of poetry.'

Honey attributes: • Long life • Health • Well being • Heals wounds • Reduces infections • Aids digestion • Boosts immunity Much to the disgust of these two • Soothes burns brothers, the frost giant called Suttung • Eases colds and sore throats gained possession of this magical mead, • Reduces pain associated with soon to be known among the Gods as rheumatism 'the golden mead of poetry.'

• Improves health of heart • Beauty - Cleopatra bathed in Word spread, gaining the attention of milk and honey the God Odin who then advanced on • Eternal youth a quest of determination to make this • Was once used as a form of mead his own. He first shape-shifted money into a snake and slithered into an opening of a mountain where Suttung Apple Blossom is a natural psychic, medium, had hidden his prized treasure with his and reflexologist, with a vast background daughter Gunnlod.

Dear human, I am a bee. My working da y is not like yours from the common time frame of nine to five.

As for me, I never stop. I bu zz my tiny frame from morning to nig ht and night to day, in a motion of craziness for twenty four hou rs. I ask little in return as I serve my Queen as her pheromon es waft through the air, ent icing, and almost trapping me into her aura on command. I can not escape this sense of yearning to be with her, as the aroma wa shes over my senses, instructing me what to do.

From flower to flower I dri ft and dart, lowering myself into the petals. Arising to the top covered in pollen as it glu es itself to my tiny hairs. I am a small par t in the big picture, assisti ng crops to grow, plants to pollinate, and the survival of man to continue as I help to provide food throu gh my daily routine.

As I dive into the flowers I am also blessed to taste the sweet nectar through my legs wh ich are filled with heighten ed detectors. Then my fellow workers and I return to the hive with another batch, ritually reg urgitating what we have swallowed over the weeks to come, red ucing the water content, un til a beautiful thickened mixtu re is formed…honey.

We work tirelessly to create geometrical shapes built up of numerous triangles, until the perfect hexagon is ma de, one after another so that only a tin y drop of bees wax is needed to hold many layers of this trickli ng, sticky substance…our gift not only to our Queen, but to you huma ns as well.

If I am lucky, my Queen wil l let me mate with her in what I call the ‘dance of the bees.’ For I am not one amongst her , I am but another humble servant wit h as many as forty male bee s all waiting, and wanting, to produce more of our black and yellow clan. Even then, it is a spe cial yet a sad dance. For once we mate I am soon to die. It is a pro per suitor’s death as my bod y waxes and wanes from exhaustio n, damaged, with my sex organs torn out from my soul. Tragic it may seem to the reader , but to me it is a dance of romance, an d a duty that I am progra mmed to do, regardless of my own will interfering. I am obedient.

I am hers…

I am the Queens drone.

Thus, the ‘dance of the bee s’ is one of both giving life , as well as leaving life. Yet, life and death are inevitable as a bee, for if my foolishness, anger, or instin ct comes into play, I shall sting you dear human, dying a slow, slow, death in return.

JAGUAR

Impeccability The Black Jaguar (also known as the Black ‘Panther’) is simply a regular Jaguar displaying the melanistic gene evident in most Cats. The Black Jaguar is a ‘yin’ animal, which means it’s a lunar-influenced creature, feminine in nature and ruled by water and nurtures us through change, death, the evolution of the soul and embracing of the unknown. The ‘regular’ Jaguar (as a solar-influenced creature; an emissary of fire, the masculine principles and action), sheds light on death, so that we may fear it less. Jaguar teaches us that death is best seen as a process that inspires deeper understanding of change and transformation. When death occurs, it offers a chance to surrender to the Void; a chance to openly grieve for the wrongs that have been inflicted upon us; a chance to scream at the Universe and ask ‘why’? Death is always predestined, agreed to by all parties prior. Death forces us to step out and appreciate life and to live ours closer to Spirit. In doing so, we make a vow to avenge the death; to make it mean something. When we honour this vow, we inherently embrace and honour the reason for the death in the first place. We subconsciously remember the agreement that person made with us before we entered the Earth-plane. To not honour our spiritual destiny, is to dishonour the vow. Such a promise is made with the understanding that our grief is what fuels the fire and breathes life into the quest and gives the journey purpose.

When Jaguar walks solemnly into your life, rest assured you’re being offered the chance to embrace the unknown and explore the Void.You are being urged to only ask questions that you’re prepared to receive and hear the answers to, and to honourably heed and honour how you respond to them. Jaguar teaches us to walk the Warrior’s Path to freedom and to embrace ‘death’ in its many guises with faith and integrity. It asks that you demonstrate impeccable self-respect by walking in truth, the whole time honouring the life you live in the hope that you demonstrates unwavering commitment to the vows you

made before entering the Earth-plane. Jaguar asks that you both speak and live your truth, and value your integrity above all else.

We are excited to introduce the Lively Living Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Diffusers, the Aroma Joy. These diffusers are different to regular diffusers as they use advanced, eco-friendly ultrasonic technologies to provide 5 in 1 multi-functions.

Aroma Diffuser, Humidifier, Ioniser, Air purifier, Colour Changing Night Light… All without the use of steam or heat.. making them totally safe for everyone. They also come beautifully boxed and with a travel bag, making a perfect gift.

Because no heating element is used, the essential oils are kept in their purest form. Normal heating methods interfere with the molecular structure of the essential oils and reduce their therapeutic qualities.You will immediately feel the difference by using an Aroma Joy diffuser to disperse your essential oils.

The stylish Aroma Joy diffuser makes it easy to diffuse oils in any room of the home, even in the work place.

The Aroma Joy diffuser Holds 80 mls of water, which will enable the diffuser to run for approx. 4 hours. It cuts off automatically when the water level is low. Safe and easy to use, you can fall asleep whilst using the Aroma Joy. The diffusers are available through leading gift, health and wellbeing stores, and available on line.

New stockist enquiries are invited.
