A Well At The Bottom Of My Garden

February 2nd, 2010

I receive emails from people all over the world and many of them comment on the beauty of the place where I live on the West coast of Ireland. It is indeed a marvelous place to call home, with it’s soaring cliffs and the relentless pounding of the waves on the pebbled beach below my old stone cottage, but as in life, there is a price to pay and a balance to be struck.

My electricity is supplied by a generator and my water comes from a well at the bottom of my garden. Local villagers have offered to run a water pipeline to my cottage - I have thanked them and said no.

In the old Celtic world wells were considered sacred places, they were seen as thresholds between the dark, deeper, unknown, subterranean world and the outer world of light and form. The land of Ireland was understood in ancient times as the body of the goddess. Wells were reverenced as special apertures through which divinity flowed forth. Even to this day people visit sacred wells and springs. They walk several rounds of the well in a clockwork direction and often leave votive offerings. Different wells are thought to offer different kinds of healings.

When a well awakens in the mind, new possibilities begin to follow; you find within yourself a depth and excitement which you never knew you had.

So while hot piped water from the tap maybe something most people take for granted these days, I remain content with my daily pilgrimage through the brambles and nettles to that special place at the bottom of my garden where not only clear spring water bubbles forth but something quite magical as well.

A New Beginning

January 4th, 2010

A Sea Change for 2010

With two especially eclipsey eclipses in effect, January 2010 marks a milestone for everyone. The course of our individual and collective lives is about to undergo a quantum shift.

Months of planning have generated countless proposals and counter proposals. Most in response to unprecedented economic pressures. Most proposals would affect us significantly in some way. Many would introduce still more unknowns into our lives.

The delay is over. Some of these proposals are now being acted upon. Before January is over, many more will come into force. Still more will come into being.

Though many do not realize it, the changes now taking place will be very hard, in many cases, impossible, to reverse.

The Downside

January’s events will go beyond administrative, legal, bureaucratic and procedural changes, of course.

Health issues, family issues, work issues that have been hanging in the balance will now find resolution, for better or for worse. Crises will come to a head, for better or for worse. Illnesses will reach a crisis point. Ongoing financial or legal adversities will reach a decision point.

Problems simmering in the background, some invisibly and completely unknown to us, will manifest suddenly and dramatically. For example, structures that have been deteriorating, quietly and unseen, can suddenly collapse. Geological pressures that have been building slowly can suddenly bring earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. (This was wrote before the Haiti disaster occurred..)

As 2010 breaks upon us I find myself looking back at the year just passed with mixed emotions.

Joy, certainly, for the many people I have been privileged to help in their search for new and lost love. Happiness, for those whose aspirations and hopes have been realised, and a sense of achievement for those who have overcome the common everyday problems that we all encounter. Then there is the sadness that comes from finding that a runaway or missing person has met an untimely end and will never be reunited physically with his or her family. Then again, there is the absolute thrill of finding a missing person alive and well (though often confused) and ready to return home.

I have had a fulfilling year serving and assisting people from all walks of life and from all over the globe. I hope throughout the coming year I will be able to continue to help with personal issues of love and life, that very often come from people with no where else to go, from clients old and new.

Please, please do not hesitate to contact me on any issue or subject where you think spiritual guidance may help.

Love and Light to you all for 2010

The First Snows..

December 17th, 2009

I walked along the clifftops yesterday and felt the keen westerly wind skimming in off the Atlantic. The sea was wild, with white topped waves crashing in to the shore. Then came the first flurries of snow, dancing around me like so many white-clad fairies. This reminded me of yet another passing season and how time flies by in a twinkling of an eye. We should all make the best of now and think of those for whom even a simple walk among the snowlakes is not possible.

The Moon of Oak

November 19th, 2009

The Full Moon nearest the Winter Solstice is the Oak Moon, the Moon of the newborn year, the Divine Child. Like the Divine Child who is born to die and dies to be reborn anew, the ancient Oak has its trunk and branches in the material world of the living, while its roots, the branches in reverse, reach deep into the Underworld, symbolic land of the Spirit. As the roots probe downward into the grave-like darkness of the Earth, its branches grow ever upward toward the light, to be crowned by sacred Mistletoe.

My last few weeks have been filled with happiness and distress. Joy at a young man found and reunited with his family after years of drifting across America; distress after another young girl found in altogether different circumstances who will, sadly, never see her family again. This is the rhythm of life however, part yin, part yang, and the changing phases of the moon remind us that this is the natural fabric of things, for the most part mysterious and beyond our control, but ever present and ever changing. Our lot in life is not to question why but to accept the rhythms and try to live in harmony with their weft and weave.

The Magical Hunter’s Moon

November 3rd, 2009

huntersmoon2The Full Moon is with us again from November 2nd. Last night I sat and gazed for a long time at the magical orb that cast its silvery light over the sea cliffs where I live. The Hunters Moon is the full moon that follows the Harvest Moon  usually the biggest and brightest of the year, and nearest Samhain. So called since the fields have been reaped, hunters can ride over the stubble, and can more easily see the fox, also other animals, which have come out to glean and can be caught for a thanksgiving banquet after the harvest. This moon is simply magical, take time to look, gaze and drink in the ethereal power of this brightest of full moons. The psychic energy simply radiates from its core. Look at it while you can and concentrate hard, let yourself be in it’s thrall; then tell me psychic phenomena doesn’t exist!

Halloween

October 16th, 2009

How my nerves tingle as we approach this magical time. I feel more alive and vital than at any other time of the year. I love to be alone on this night, except that I am not alone. The night air around my remote cottage is alive with spiritual energy. I sit and gaze at the moon and infinity and the answer to every question that has ever been asked is within my grasp.

Samhain (which is supposed to be pronounced sow-en, though some modern Pagans pronounce it as spelled) is the most important holy night of the year. In fact, it is considered the Celtic New Year. It is believed to be the evening in which the veil between the realm of the living and the dead is thinnest, allowing members of the spirit realm to walk the earth in great numbers. It is thereby considered the evening where our loved ones who have gone over to the other side of the veil are honoured with a special feast. This is certainly the reason All Saint’s Day was created by the Roman Catholic Church to celebrate honored individuals who have passed on, as well as the similar All Souls Day, which honours the memories of our individual loved one’s who have passed on. The association with spirits of the dead walking the earth, as well as faeries and other ethereal beings roaming the material plane in large numbers that evening, is probably the basis for the modern Halloween’s emphasis on ghosts and goblins, and the popular stereotypical image of the witch as a swarthy old crone with green skin was derived from negative images of real witches as being corrupt harbingers of evil or mischief. The jack o’ lantern, a still popular decoration, is derived from the image used by ancient Pagans to keep unwelcome spirits from the hearth during the celebration. Calls to your ancestors and loved ones for assistance is appropriate for those practicing spellwork on this day, as is spellwork for endings and calling upon the Crone aspect of the Goddess.

The God symbolically dies of old age at this point, though the Mother Goddess is now pregnant with the reborn Sun God in her womb.

Enjoy the spiritual freedom this occasion allows.

Feel free to contact me on any issues

Blood Moon

September 29th, 2009

Hi Everyone,

I’m finally back home after weeks of touring Europe, and Autumn, my favourite time of year is upon us.

In October, we see the Blood Moon travel through the sky. This moon is also called the Shedding Moon or the Falling Leaf Moon. Coming right before Samhain, it’s a time when the nights are crisp and clear, and you can sense a change in the energy around you.

Correspondences:

  • Colors: Dark blue, black, purples
  • Gemstones: Obsidian, amethyst, tourmaline
  • Trees: Apple and yew
  • Gods: Herne, Apollo, Cernunnos, Mercury
  • Herbs: Apple Blossom, pennyroyal, mint family, catnip,, Sweet Annie
  • Element: Air

This is the time when the veil between our world and the spirit world are at its thinnest. Use this time for spiritual growth — if there’s a deceased ancestor you wish to contact, this is a great month to do it. Hold a séance, work on your divination, and pay attention to messages you get in your dreams.

Please get in touch if I can be of assistance

Love and Light

Lianne

Dreams

July 10th, 2009

I dream all the time. I realise that dreams are important in that they are from another time and place. When confronted by sceptics and non-believers, which is often, I bring up the subject of dreams and ask the cynics to explain the dream phenomenon that we all experience. “Let science explain a dream”, I say. Usually I am met by a wall of silence. So enjoy your dreams for what they are - a window into another world.

Tread Softly Because You Tread On My Dreams

July 2nd, 2009

This morning, as I sat in my usual spot on the cliff edge watching the seabirds whirl and glide over the Atlantic swell, my mind turned to one of my favourite poets W.B.Yeats. In his later life he had a house in the village not far from here and he wandered these very cliffs himself many years ago, as I do today. He was a man occupied and intrigued by the spiritual and the occult, much of which manifested itself in his poetry. Where I sit on the cliff edge, the view is such that there is no sign of modern civilisation, all you can see are the cliffs, the waves, the sky and the horizon, this is truly a timeless place. As I sit here I truly feel that I have nothing, but at the same time I have everything in my dreams. And that is why I thought of the poet today, perhaps his spirit touched me this morning, certainly his words formed in my mind as I sat there alone.

“Had I the heaven’s embroidered cloths,  Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light,

I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.”

As I walked back home, I felt I had been given a gift for today - and I wanted to share it with you..
