In Greek mythology the course of a person’s life is determined by three sister Goddesses, known as “The Fates”.

​The Fates are spinners and weavers, and together these three work, thread by thread, to weave the great tapestry of life (and death). Clotho spins each individual thread, allocating the form of life (ancestry, physicality, birth nation etc) to which the person will be irretrievably bound. Lachesis determines the length of thread, thereby assigning the length of the life, and how this thread will be woven into the one tapestry. Atropos cuts. She is a matchmaker of sorts, arranging dates with Death.
​
Through the lens of fate and the power of The Fates, the course of your life may seem beyond your control. But, not so….please…keep reading!

“Our greatest desire is for a state in which all our interactions are based in a free, mutual, and noble exchange of love. Everyone wishes to be in a condition of relaxed, yet intimate and purposeful harmony with the whole of life…the union of humankind, Deity, and Nature.”
     -Richard Heinberg, “Memories and Visions of Paradise: Exploring the Universal Myth of a Lost Golden Age”

A loss of spirit has big implications for us personally and collectively. Without the feeling of being connected to something that is larger than us what is the point in doing the things that we do?

​And before you read any further I need to be very clear that I am not advocating for all of us to go back to church. Although that might be the way for some to connect to Spirit, that one of the results of how much power the church was granted was its ability to pave over so many other paths to Spirit means that it was essential to step back and ask the question…is this my way?

We are globally swimming in the outfall of the toxic mess dumped from the innards of boys masquerading as men.

Or at least that’s my blunt opinion on the ridiculous matter of the so-called “men” in positions of great power around the world. This current boy president south of our border, straight out of Lord of the Flies, can only ever act the part as the biggest man in town, because he never learned how to hold his masculinity in the way a real man does. With inner strength, not outer might.

This past weekend I led a Family Constellations workshop and the consequences of “missing fathers” came up as the central unhealed trauma in both of the constellations that we worked through. Whether or not these fathers were present physically in some capacity, they were missing emotionally and energetically. And the consequences of this were (and are) wide ranging, including that boys without fathers are less likely to ever figure out how to hold their masculinity in a good way.  It isn't impossible of course,  many great men were raised by women or in the presence of an absent or boy-posing-as-man father. I'm just saying that it's a much tougher road when we have to learn and grow without positive role modelling.

The Age of Aquarius isn’t just a new age concept, it is an actual scientific term used in reference to the position that we adopt in relationship to the stars as our planet wobbles slightly about on its central axis. This wobbling, termed “precession”, is a bit like a spinning top wobbling slightly as it spins. For the earth, it takes about 25,000 years to complete one wobble. Astronomers have divided this cycle into 12 periods of about 2150 years each, as there are 12 constellations of the zodiac that ring the earth and astronomers make it their job to relate us to the stars (thank you astronomers!).

As the earth wobbles, a few things happen in relationship to how we see the stars from earth, including which constellation of the zodiac we are oriented towards. For the last 2150 years or so we have been oriented towards the constellation Pisces, and we are moving into (or have already entered) orientation with the constellation Aquarius.

And there you have it – a very oversimplified explanation of the scientific basis behind this Age of Aquarius stuff!

An Age of Innovation and Transformation...

A resolution is a vow made to oneself. It is a determination first made in the mind, and then affirmed as an orientation in physical space towards the intended outcome. And once that vow is made and the commitment is backed by our own footsteps in that direction then the universe can respond. Our action-backed resolutions are our way of proclaiming to the universe “here I come!”, and when the universe hears that, well all kinds of serendipitous support can result. And then voila…you are on the pathway towards manifestation.

Sounds pretty simple doesn’t it!?

How many times have you tried to be “bigger than” something (or someone!) you are experiencing?
​
That big something feels like it threatens to collapse us. Becoming bigger than it seems the only way to not get squished beneath it.

Becoming “bigger than” is a great way to describe what we are attempting to do energetically. We try to expand our field of love and acceptance to be able to include something that might otherwise be well outside our limitations to be able to include.  But we set ourselves up for a dangerous game when we do this – of having to keep getting bigger, and bigger, and BIGGER. And at some point, we will find that we just can’t grow anymore, and then do the very thing that we were trying to avoid – collapse!

So what is the alternative?

UPCOMING VIOLET FLAME WORKSHOP: May 23rd, 6:30-8:30pm, online. Open to All. Earlybird pricing until May 4th.

Between April’s solar eclipse and the approaching Canadian summer, who in this part of the world hasn’t got the sun on their mind? It is of little wonder that our ancient ancestors worshipped the life-giving, light-yielding sun as a god.

In all of the seeking and learning of the 20 years of my spiritual journey and the 10 years of my energy healing career I have arrived over and over and over again to what those ancestors of mine understood right through to their cores – somehow, its all about the sun.

Known as the 7th ray of healing, the Violet Flame comes as a gift from that great ball in the sky. ​
