By the Fire on the Full Moon

As I sat by the fire on Sunday July 25 all these wonderous thoughts floated through my mind. I took a picture of the wood pile to show the amount of effort it takes to bring this type of ceremony together. We started Saturday covering the lodge with blankets removing the rocks from the pit adding new rocks. We were going to have help but as the time moved on Mom and I plugged on; having colorfull blankets first then others then heavy tarps plus my lodge it high so to achieve coverage I use a tall walking stick that seems to work just fine. Then preparing the fire to be ready in the morning all is needed is to light it. I was very happy with my wood, some that we had cut with my chain saw myself, plus my helper brought some, plus friends provided some from their homes. So starting the fire at 5:45 am........it has been a couple of weeks since my last post. I am still looking for my camera that is some where in never never land. It was an awesome day and lodge, knowing it was going to hot by noon we started right at 8 with four women each representing each direction, Mother's and daugthers. In the last round we prayed for the state of California prayers for Jerry Brown being our next governor, also for our town's financial growth while protecting our beautiful invironment. We prayed for our towns officals, police and fire department those who take care of our town.
Yesterday I went to Sand Flat to help build a lodge with my 2 guys David and Michael, for the First Sobriety Hoopa Sweat Lodge. It was so beautiful in the early hours of the morning, digging for the wholes for the willows, digging the fire pit...gosh how many times have I been the only woman doing such things. People miss out by not showing up it is so fun like when you were kids building the fort we are doing with it with all natural elements earth, water, fire and air in this breath taking place. I went over to my friends at Tara Refuge this am to pick fresh lavender for the lodge, they have a temple, 2 Stupa's and lavender plants every where with huge statues of Quan Yin & Buddha what a life. I am here in the store waiting for our first lodge, it is a beautiful day. Today also is the huge presentation of the I Am plays that people come from all over the world to participate in or watch. The streets are a bit quiet in respect and readiness for all the happenings this weekend, which isn't great for our business. I have written to Mother Meera about all this she is available all you have to do is write for prayers and she will focus on what you have written. I sent pictures of myself, Mom and my kids their gals and my grand-daughter Tessa so she has a visual of who she is praying for and a picture of our store too. In these earth changes times and rising vibratory rate so much is changing we need all the prayers we can get. Last weekend I was driving back here after our Wilderness Quest meeting I was listening to KQED radio there was this story of a new C.D coming out from the Georgian Chant of the Sister's of Avignon France. They played a bit, these Sister's are cloistered from the public but gave in to this production because their voices represent prayers going out for the world. I am looking forward to buying this when it comes out in Nov. I have used chants like this to clear spaces raise the vibratory rate or clear negativity that might be caused from some dark energy. Please focus on me finding my camera!

So now What is Next? No more Rahu!

Here we are after the Eclipses ready for the Grand Cross
not knowing how this will effect each of us. I am just coming
out of Rahu that hast lasted 18 yrs it will be out in August.
For those of you who don't know Rahu who is the planet that
makes everything a challenge. I can say since I have been in it
since 1992 when one of my relationships started that too was doomed, finances the flow was perplexing issue, and things that were some what innocent would be taken the wrong way. I was advice a few years ago when I still had 4+yrs to go that I should meditate and fast doing practise to combat this? I don't think I was a success at that? Here is a picture of our Skype as we attempt to chat with my grand-daughter Tessa and see her as she grows. This is part of our store with gifts, vitamins, tinctures, books, tarot cards.....angels you can see a bit in the back round! It has been a wild ride ride for sure. The weather in the mountains this year has been one of the longest winters(springs) it is now 94 degrees with a beautiful breeze. I thought I would add this picture to show our natural progression of our store. Many know we were challenged in the beginning since I hadn't know much about the store I definitely was in a learning curve, then add crazy Rahu........I thought oh my Goddess what Karma did I create then I came to my senses realizing that I live in a swamp area it actually has nothing to do with Karma just water levels. So some times life just is, no big deep reason we are having the real deal human experience even here in Mt Shasta. What most don't know as we develop we are called to do our own psychological work then we can play in the big field of human. See even in this picture I am concentrating way too much not just in the flow. So I have had to do many things I hadn't planned to. This week I was at my favorite Statue Factory we were talking business I was saying just that the owner chimed in saying for the last 2 yrs it is a paramount business that only those who have small business can relate. People have had to use credit in odd ways to keep their doors open then being penalized for doing just that with credit scores. It is a sad day that even in busy places so many are called in ways they hadn't imagined years ago. It is all in the process of turning around, plus being out of Rahu will certainly help.
