If you only knew...

Hello Lovely People!,

I wanted to post an updated version of this blog post from a while back!

One way that I have grown is knowing, and really comprehending the fact, that I am never, EVER alone. Of course, I knew this before in my head but sometimes be heart doubted it, but a quote from A Course In Miracles really put this in perspective for me:

To me, it became crystal clear when I was really worrying about something going on in my life. I had become almost frantic. I was consumed with thoughts about how “I” could change my situation, or how “I” could fix it. Then, I decided to watch Gabby Bernstein. Now, it’s no secret that I have parted ways with Gabby and her community. However, her teachings have really elevated me and helped me to be able to choose love over fear, however I am human and we all can sink back into that fear state at any given moment.  So I turned on Gabby and heard her say a quote from the text A Course In Miracles: “If you knew Who walks beside you on this path which you have chosen, fear would be impossible.” . I remember thinking, ‘damn, this is good!’. So, in that moment, I decided that I would do my best to give up the constant fear that I was experiencing. That’s when things started to change.

I began to open up my heart and life even more to those beings of Love and Light that were just waiting for me to give the “okay”. Something important that you should know is that you can have every Angel on Earth and in Heaven on your side, but if you don’t let them help you then they can’t. Every being has to respect your freewill choices, so make the choice to let them in and let’s get to it!

I FIRMLY believe we have a wonderful team of Angels, Archangels, Ascended Masters (Gods and Goddesses, and other Enlightened Beings), Dragons, and more that are with us every single day. In fact, I know it to be so. The purpose of this post is to give you a bit of guidance into how these beings can help you in your every day life! Let’s get started!

DRAGONS:

Dragons are fourth (and higher) dimensional beings that are tasked with clearing away and consuming a lot of the denser energies, whereas Angels do not necessarily do that. They help us raise our vibration to rise above those energies. However, sometimes we need to help of Dragons when that denser and lower energy is all around us. Dragons are the way makers, the clearers, and the transmutat-ers, that help us keep our energy clear and high vibrational. Dragons are elementals, like Unicorns and Fairies, and therefore have a very grounding impact on you even though they fly high in the sky! There are hundreds of different types of Dragons but the main 4 that will be working with are Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Now, most of the time your personal Dragon will correspond with the Element of your Zodiac Sign, so Cancer will have a Water Dragon, Leo will have a Fire Dragon, and so on. Dragons also have a real ability to get stagnant energy moving again and help you to get ‘unstuck’, if you are feeling that way. Now, I want to give you specialties of the 4 Dragons I mentioned earlier.

Fire Dragons: Burning away lower energies and protecting you from them

Earth Dragons: Keeping you grounded, prosperity, and growth

Water Dragons: Emotional Well-being and Psychic Abilities

Air Dragons: Soaring above earthly matters and seeing from a different perspective.

*Prayer to Connect with Your Dragon* Dear (Kind of Dragon), I ask that you come and fly around me, protect me, and clear the way for new energy to come to me. I ask for your assistance in (name the issue) and thank you for responding to me. So It is.

Now, I had never really heard about Dragon energy until I had signed up for an Online Course with the AMAZING Diana Cooper called, “Meet Your Dragons”. Now, this idea intrigued me but I wasn’t completely sold. But, I was doing the course, watching the videos and doing the meditations, and I began to really sense there was something more to it! So, I decided to meet my Dragon (and earth Dragon named Rory) and began cultivating that relationship by asking for his help, along with Air, Water, Fire, and Violet Flame, Dragons. I began to notice how much more protected I felt, and how I could honestly sense a change in my demeanor when I asked for their help.

Then, something even more amazing happened: The Dragon Oracle Cards by Diana Cooper were released and my relationship with the Dragons drastically changed for the better. Not only was I able to find new Dragons, but the guidance from them was phenomenal! I highly recommend them, you can snag them here

ANGELS AND ARCHANGELS:

Now, if you know me then you know I adore Angels. I love them to the moon and back and work with them daily. Angels are messengers of God (Universe, Source, whatever) and are tasked with helping us throughout our lives. This particular section is going to focus on Archangels more than Angels, as they are the overseers of the Angels. Each of us has at least 2 Guardian Angels, plus regular Angels, that surround us at all times. However, Archangels have specific specialties that we are going to touch on. Since there are 15 main Archangels, I am going to go over 4 Main ones for times sake:

Gabriel: Messengers, help in parenting, communication

Michael; Protection, Life Purpose, Clearing Energy

Ariel: Manifesting, Animal well-being, Nature

Uriel: Epiphanies, Inspiration, and Manifesting

*Prayer to Connect with Archangels* Dear Loving Universe/God/Whoever and Archangel (Name), I am asking you to come and stand beside me, guide me, and help me with (name the issue). I ask that you send me signs of your presence, love, and support. So it is.

I’ve been working with Angels for years now, and the impact on my life has been amazing. Sometimes, we feel a disconnect from a Higher Power and that keeps us from asking for help. Angels have a lower vibration that God, so they are more easily reached to be able to help us in times of need, meeting us halfway to listen to our needs. I ask for the help of my Angels ever single day and they never fail me! They won’t fail you either!

Cultivate a deeper connection with your Angels in the “Angels & You” Program!

ASCENDED MASTERS:

Ascended Masters are Gods, Goddesses, and Enlightened Individuals that help us, in conjunction with The Universe and the Angels and Dragons, to be the best that we can be and to step into our true power and potential. Now, my view of Gods and Goddesses is this: The Divine is pure light. That’s all it is, Light and Love. That light shines through a Diamond that has many different faces and what we perceive to be separate deities are actually all coming from the same light, we just see different faces of that Diamond. I also feel that it helps us to be able to connect easier with the Ascended Master’s because the idea of a deity is easier to comprehend sometimes that speaking directly to “Light”. So when I ask Ganesha for help, I am truly asking a personification of the The Divine to help me. Now, that being said, I believe that each personification requires the utmost respect and devotion, because they are still to be revered. Like the previous sections, I am going to outline 4 Ascended Masters that I love to work with:

Ganesha: Hindu God of Prosperity and Lifter of Obstacles

Kuan Yin: Buddhist Goddess of Divine Compassion and Love

Isis: Egyptian Goddess of Magic, Personal Power, and Manifestation

Mother Mary: Mother of Jesus,  Master of Divine Love and Peace, Forgiveness, and Motherhood.

*Invocation of Ascended Master* I humbly ask that (Name) comes into my presence now. I humbly open my life and heart to your love and assistance. Help me to know and feel that you are with me and please show me the most high vibrational way in dealing with (issue). I thank you for your assistance and So It Is.

I have had wondrous success working with these beings, and I know that you will too! 

I truly hope that these beings offer you the love, happiness, and support that you need in your life right now.

Spirit (read this)

Alright guys, saddle up (pony up?). This is going to be some deep shit. 

So, pour a glass of wine, sit down, and lets chat.

We are going to talk about Spirit. Yes, Spirit. We aren’t going to be talking about Tarot, but what I think is the foundation of Tarot, at least for me. 

Spirit takes on many, many forms. Each different based on the region of the world, the belief system, culture, family, and even varies from individual to individual. 

I was told something a while back: “Spirit brings to us what is relevant to us in that moment to help us on our journey”. What prompted this question was my Christian upbringing. Coming from a religious household, I was beat over the head with the bible (not literally) and told that bad people go to hell and good people to heaven (more or less). 

Leaving the church was a decision that kind of made itself. I am going to talk about myself here…so stick with me. When I say that the decision made itself, I mean that it came so naturally to me. I had left the Protestant church searching for answers. I did NOT like being told that I was going to burn eternally for being gay, that was horse shit to me, so I peace’d out. I starting praying the rosary at that time, and found so much comfort and solace in it. I decided to go to a Catholic church. While I loved the structure and the beauty of the rituals. I went there for quite a while, a few months at least. But it didn’t fill the void in my soul for something more. 

That is when I found The Archangel Power Tarot. I had been getting angel numbers quite a bit, like multiple times a day all day long, and when I researched it, of course Doreen Virtue’s name came up.

So I bought the deck, because I wanted a ‘good’ tarot deck. And then it snowballed to where I am now!

But Christianity is a very difficult thing to get rid of, kind of like an STD or Glitter. Once you have it, you are either constantly reminded about it, see it everywhere you go, or you still suffer the side effects from it. The doctrine taught there is, for the most part, incredibly harmful and still effects me to this day, causing me to doubt my life purpose and I keep wondering if what I am doing is wrong, when it isn’t at all. 

So I was having one of these moments, and Spirit gave me what I said above. I was kind of confused at first, but then it all made sense. Spirit weaves it’s way through all of our lives in one way or another. All religions are the same, because Spirit never changes. Whether you are Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Pagan, Wiccan, Buddhist, Taoist, whatever, it is all the same. 

Whatever is relevant to Christian to help them live a better life and love and help others, that is what Spirit will give them. When I was in the church, I believe I had the Spiritual Gift of Knowledge (basically intuition) and I was able to tell things about people and gain insights into them fairly easily. I used this to help people who needed to talk about their issues and problems, but also in my daily devotions and walk with God. I would get messages that just made my heart SING and messages that made me rethink a lot of things and become a better Christian. I was so involved in the church and was wondering if that was all false. But then Spirit simply told me it was relevant to my experience at the time to become a better human and to learn. It wasn't that that was right and my life now is wrong, or vice versa, it is just a different avenue. When you go down two different streets, they each offer different sights and experiences, neither are wrong or right, they are just different.

Spirit weaves an intricate web between all things, inanimate and animate, that connects us all to each other. 

The Pastor in the pulpit on Sunday morning preaching about loving your neighbor is inspired by the same Spirit that Hindus invoke during prayer and ritual. 

The key to knowing who is inspired by the spirit is one simple thing: LOVE.

If the message is about love, or causes and chain reaction of love, it is from Spirit, no matter what form it takes.

Now, the opposite is also true. There are people claiming to be ‘led by the spirit’ and are filled with hate, resentment, and bitterness. That is NOT of Spirit. At all. So those people can basically, suck it. 

This realization was wonderful to me because I harbored such animosity towards Christians and the whole religion honestly, for how I was treated and the entire ‘hell’ concept. But now, I have seen things in a different light and I am working on keeping things in that light. 

Spirit is wonderful, no matter what form it takes for you or I. 

Just make sure you are centered in love, because that is all that matters. 

sorry for any typos 

Angel Blessings,
