Beltane

BeltaneCelebrating Beltane is making somewhat of a comeback; see attached image and links below for various events around the country. If you are not familiar with Beltane – then read on…

In the Gaelic languages of Ireland, The Isle of Man and Scotland Bealtaine designates the 1st May. The Anglicized spelling is Beltane meaning Bright Fire. Ancient Celts saw fire as a central part of the time of year, marking the mid point between spring and summer – opening the light half of the Celtic year. Cattle would have been released back into fields driven through the burning fires to purify them and guard against parasitic disease. (more…)

Lunar Eclipse

Lunar EclipseThere are three types of Lunar Eclipses – a total lunar eclipse, a partial lunar eclipse and a penumbral lunar eclipse. On the 25th April 2013 it will be a partial lunar eclipse that takes place, which will be visible from Australia, Asia, Africa and Europe. The 25th May will see a penumbral lunar eclipse which will only be seen from Africa and the Americas. A further penumbral lunar eclipse will take place on 18th Oct 2013, visible from Asia, Africa, The Americas and Europe. But we will have to wait until 2014 for a full lunar eclipse – when two take place, one on the 15th April and the other on 8th Oct although neither will be seen from Europe. (more…)

Exploring White Witches

White WithIn the spirit of Halloween I thought I would explore what we mean by White Witch: White witch or good witch really distinguish practitioners of folk magic for benevolent purposes termed white magic as opposed to those practising malevolent witchcraft.

Two of the most famous white witches in modern literature are Glinda – the Good Witch in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, and Queen Jadis from The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S Lewis. (more…)

Past Lives

Past Lives Reincarnation Believing in past lives or reincarnation is where you feel that the essence of someone or their soul is born again into a different body. Many cultures and religions like Tibetan Monks, ancient Greeks, Sufis, Norse Intuit, Hindus, Native Americans as well as modern day spiritualists all believe in reincarnation. Although the way they describe the essence differs from soul to spirit, to chi, divine essence or even higher self – but the common theme is that this essence is born again following death. (more…)

Akashic Records

Akashic RecordsThe Akashic Records are considered to be an enormous vibrational library that keeps details of everything that we have done in this life and in previous ones, giving this information from our point of view and that of other people. It also holds records of the possible futures. These records go back to when time began. The Akashic Records are also referred to as the Book of Life, and, as such have nine entries in the Bible. Other terms used are Cosmic Mind, Universal Mind, Eye of God and Word of God. They are referred to in nearly every spiritual tradition and religion. The name Akasha comes from the Tibetan language, meaning unseen space or storage space. (more…)

Guardian Angels

Guardian AngelsYou can think of Guardian angels as angels that are sent to personally protect us and guide us through our journey of life. These angels are different to Cherubim angels that are said to be the highest ranking angels and guardians of the throne of god. Both east and western religions believe are that Guardian angels are assigned to a person by god to serve, protect and pray to god on behalf of that person. Christianity, Judaism and Christianity all believe that god assigns each person a guardian angel for their entire life while on earth. The angels are meant to protect us from evil forces that we would otherwise have no protection over.

Guardian angels also pray to god on your behalf this may be praying for help, when you may not even be aware that you need help. Guardian angels are always facing god while protecting you and our heaven. They are knowledgeable and powerful beings and like spirits have a powerful influence on our lives in the energy that they give us. (more…)

Floriography – The Language of Flowers

I think it is fair to say that most women like receiving flowers, be it on Valentine’s Day, a birthday or anniversary – or perhaps the best kind for noViolet - modesty & faithfulness reason at all! But did you know that your favourite flowers or the flowers that someone selects for you have hidden meanings.

The language of flowers is called Floriography; which reveals any underlying meaning to sending and receiving flowers. In Victorian times the sending of bouquets was a way of sending a coded message to someone when it was not appropriate for the actual words to be spoken. (more…)

Year of the Dragon

I guess you are wondering why I have such an eclectic mix of celebrities this month? Well it is because we are celebrating the Chinese New Year –Reece Witherspoon 23rd Jan 2012 until 9th Feb 2013 will be a water year and it is the year of the Dragon. All of these celebrities including Reece Witherspoon (our cover star) were born in Dragon years.

The Chinese Zodiac is represented by 12 different animals; the zodiac sign is determined by the lunar year in which you were born. The animal ruling your birth year will have a profound influence on your personality and destiny.

The Dragon occupies the 5th position in the Chinese Zodiac and is the only mythological creature among the 12 animals. The Chinese Dragon symbolises both power and influence and those that have this as their birth year are revered and are seen as destined for greatness.  (more…)

Space Stones

Every year dust lands on earth from space; even though meteorites have crashed in to this planet since its creation it is rare to find large fragments.

Many believe that the remnants are of a planet that orbited between Mars and Jupiter; a space that is now occupied by the asteroid belt. Iron and nickel (metallic meteorites) are more common than rocky meteorites.

 Then there is a group of meteorites called Tektites, these are scattered around the globe; their origins are unknown but they likely formed millions of years ago when large meteorites struck the earth. In the Czech Republic the Tektites are green and are called Moldavite’s, elsewhere they are usually black or brown with cratered pitted surfaces in the shape of pebbles. (more…)

History of Runes

Runes

Rune – a holy secret, a mystery that is whispered.

The runic alphabet, used by early Norse people including the Vikings, has no clear origin. The word rune derives from the Gothic word runa – meaning mystery. One of the names for a runic alphabet is Futhark, gaining its name like the word alphabet from the first few symbols in the series. Runes had no lowercase, and could be written in any direction, from left to right or right to left.

By 400 A.D. use of a common set of 24 runes had spread across northern Europe, based possibly on Greek and Latin origins. As time passed new runes were added on as the need arose, and various versions of the Futhark emerged. The fact that runes consisted of straight lines made them easier to carve into wood or stone.
