Yemaya for Healing Big Boy

I wanted to share a simple prayer/ritual I did petitioning blessings from Yemaya. Most of you are probably familiar with Chloe's wonderful blog Inner Whispers. Please do take a visit when you can. She usually features a different deck each week. Well tomorrow her eldest son, Big Boy is having a very complicated surgery. I've invoked the Orisha of maternal love and healing for complete success in this. To bless all of the hospital staff, surgeons, nurses, staff and that entire environment of the hospital as well. And for Chloe, her beloved and their young son who is braving this experience. I ask that anyone who reads this send positive energy as well. Big Boy has some on-going, serious health issues that demand constant care, so no matter when you're this, your prayers will be appropriate.

While praying, I had my Yemaya playlist on my iPad. There is sea salt around the candle, as she is the embodiment of the salt waters of the oceans of the world. The photograph behind the mermaid statue is underwater photography my cousin took whilst diving and met a sea turtle, which is one of the most perfect symbols for Yemaya giving their association with maternal instincts.

 

I used Ocean - Ebb and Flow from the Earth Magick Oracle. The Queen of Cups from the Universal Goddeess Tarot was created as Yemaya, an absolutely perfect choice for that card. I chose The Sun from Doreen Virtue's Angel Tarot Cards to represent complete healing, life giving energy and cause for celebration. It says Uriel, but I called on Raphael since he is my go to angel for healing. And the Ace of Swords from my Legacy of the Divine tarot. It tends to show up as surgery readings and it represents the courage it takes to go through challenging times that we most often would never sign up for but bring about great benfits.

Below is a beautiful video created by a daughter of Yemaya. Thank you Mamma! Ashé!

A Post of Gratitude

This post is for the sole/soul purpose of expressing gratitude! I realize I have so many Spirits around me who love and want to help me. Sometimes when depression/anxiety is kicking my ass it can be hard to remember that. But it is all a part of expansion and the learning process as a human. So they must allow me and all humans to experience the contrast as Abraham-Hicks would call it ( aka the bullshit). They also teach that gratitude and being in nature are the fastest most definitive ways to feel better and raise your vibration. Yesterday my dear friend Fairy, one of the most amazingly gifted and accurate readers I've ever known, gave me a message from Lord Ganesha. He is Hindu God who removes obstacles and consort of Lakshmi, who let me know recently she was around me and offering to help me. Then I felt Yemaya, who I have not felt in a few months. This mornings oracle card was confirmation of that. Then I received a wonderful care package from New Orleans with gifts that filled me with love and appreciation. Just after openeing it, I stepped outside and received a message via the guardians of Air from my precious Selene! So I will start off with thanking Gansha! If this blog doesn't prove to me I need a Tumbler account nothing will lol.

An offering of delicious British single cream to Gansesha. I used the King of Pentacles for the Universal Goddess tarot which features his love, Lakshmi as the King and he is the elephants in the background. He removes obstacles so that she can usher in blessings. Quite appropriate during this waning moon. In front is smoky quartz to remove negativity and depression and citrine to balnce my 3rd chakra which is a out happiness, empowerment, self-confidence, joy and prosperity. Thank you beautiful Lady of the Fae for all the help and guidance you've been giving me. Thank you Ganesh and Lakshmi.

This was what I got in the mail! Creole coffee!!!! Omg, there are so many things I absolutely love about the UK. The coffee situation is fucking horrific! This was the Ace of Cups if ever there was one lol! And this crystal is something I shall treasure forever. The amount of healing and love that Joshua put into it is unreal. It actually vibrates and filled my whole body with a feeling of love radiating from it like electricity! It was like... Like a film of darkness and weight and shit just started to evaporate and was pulled off of me! That man's healing abilities are so powerful. I am so grateful for these gifts. The time he made in the midst of a whole lot of chaos and shit he is dealing with, and the criminal amount of money it coat to send 2 bricks of coffee and a crystal - $24.75 US! That is just robbery. I am so grateful to Joshua for sending me these things and that SOMEHOW, we are able to be friends. I am grateful to the precious gift of healing crystals bring. I am more motivated to get my shit together and get on track with my Hibiscus Moon Crystal Healing Course than I have been since I first signed up!



This is the message Selene asked the sylphs to show me. I'm not sure if anyone else can see a dog running happily other than me LOL! But I had a deep sense of knowing it was from her, sans the questioning my left brain often does. I love you and miss you more than words can say. Thank you for coming to let me know you are happy. That is what matters most of all. I am so grateful for every second you shared with me! Every walk at 3AM in the rain to go potty, every time you took up the entire bed, every time you looked at me with eyes of pure love. You were a gift from the angelic realm.


Yesterday I felt the presence of Yemaya, African Orisha who is the embodiment of maternal love. In the tarot she would be the Queen of Cups. She found my apartment I used to have on Bourbon St. It was so tiny, but I loved that place so much. I dedicated my bathroom to her, a common thing since she rules the ocean. This was my alatar to her. Today I drew the card titled Ocean. Isn't this deck beautiful. I'm so grateful for Dr. Steven Farmer who created it and the artists who brought the illustrations to life. He explains it to mean allowing yourself to feel whatever emotions that are coming up and not judge or fight against them, even if they are sucky ones like guilt, anger and grief. I need to learn that we feel our emotions, but we are not our emotions. Thank you Yemaya for the happy times I did spend in this wonderful apartment. And for the next one I know you are preparing for me. Ashé Mamma.
 
 
The first Goddess aside from Mother Mary I ever worked with was the Norse Freyja. I haven't worked with her for several years, but I've felt her around me since I've been in the UK. I do so love her and this may be my favorite depiction of her. It's from a deck I no longer have, Doreen Virtue's Goddess Guidance Oracle. Don't know why I associate miragolds with her, but I do.
 
 
 
Yemaya has two sisters she loves dearly. One is Oshun. In tarot she is the Queen of Wands. Yemaya rules the salt waters, but her sister rules the sweet waters, or the rivers. This was her altar I had in that same apartment on Bourbon. Thank you Oshun for giving me laughter, music and making me feel pretty.
 
 
 
The third sister is Oya and she can be the storm, the tornado, or the rainbow that follows it, but is the winds of change. Think the Ace of Swords. She told me I had to come of the UK and could not go back to New Orleans until October. I've ignore her words in the past. Won't make the mistake again I tell ya! I took these beautiful pictures that represent her several weeks apart. Both were quite timely I'd have to say. Thank you Oya for helping me to find my inner warrior and to learn that change is the breath of life itself. Ashé.
 
 
My beloved mermaid sister, LaSirene, Our Lady Star of the Sea! It had been so long since I'd felt you and you made yourself known to me in several ways whilst I was in Cornwall. The altar was one of the three I had for her on Bourbon St. Lol! She is the Haitian Lwa who helps us with self-actualization and thus self love. I adore LaSirene. Thank you my sister for the 3 shooting stars I saw several weeks ago. And for the 13 Matthew and I saw in one night!!! Especially after showing yourself in that magickal photograph he took of both the aves and the Milky Way! When I have the money, I will surely purchase it as well as the latest shooting star he saw last weekend.



Last for this post, but definitely not least is the practice of yoga. It tends to show up as The Hanged Man in tarot readings. It has helped me tremendously to move through this very deep depression/anxiety, fear and grief over the loss of Selene. The benfits of yoga are seemingly limitless. I am most grateful for the Heike, a girl I used to fly with who was the first person to drag me quite reluctantly I might add, to my first yoga class back in 2001 when I lived in Ft. Lauderdale. Also to my angel of health and recovery of my spine and often my mind, Marjorie DeJoie and for the two instructors who made the biggest impression on me while in Philly at 12th St. Gym, Chick and Stephanie.
These are but a few of the gifts, people, gods, Goddesses, Spirits and elementals I am appreciative of. To all of them I say thank you! And to those of you who read this blog. Though I have no clue who any of you are, I know there are those who do. And it brings me a lot of healing to know my words matter, and that they bring healing at times to you.
Namaste.

The Wife of Mars - Day 37

The Universal Goddess Tarot has given me the Ace of Swords who is expressed via the Roman goddess of war and the wife of Mars, Bellona. Since today was actually a pretty good one, I wonder what sort of shit is going to hit the fan tomorrow that I will have to embrace my assertive side and stand my ground. Being a sword, I will try to be clear in my communication, yet use diplomacy and remain objective. The AofSw always means a new opportunity to cut through bullshit and get rid of any stagnant energy or situations. I feel like perhaps some piece of mail or business conversation may occur. Maybe I'll get lucky and it just means someone will ask me to watch Sparta on Netflix and I can droll over Gerard Butler.

Loving Messages - Day 20

I've used the Universal Goddess once again and tonight it gave me the Page of Cups, which in this deck is the Greek goddess Hebe. She was the cupbearer to the gods on Olympus. Since I'm fighting what could prove to be a wicked cold if I'm not careful, I think the message is pretty simple - drink lots of water and keep hydrated! The other thing this card reflects is the loving card I got in the mail today from my Mom and the card I sent to her. I'm also getting that I need to call tomorrow and find out what's the deal with the job I got as a reader for a phone service but has not be finalized.

What I Want/What I Need - Day 19

I like to use more than one deck sometimes. Tonight I'm using The Universal Goddess and the Robin Wood.

What I want - Rx King of Cups - The Hindu Goddess Sariswati, the goddess of creativity, the arts, knowledge and memory. There is a river in India named after her so she is associated with rivers. (Maybe I need to go down by the Mississippi and connect with her like I often do with the Orisha Oshun) Being reversed, this shows that I want to be able to express and enjoy all of these qualities. And being the Rx KofC it shows I feel very unsuccessful in these areas as well as emotional fulfillment. It's like that waterfall is so much blocked emotion and joy. The small base of land feels like isolation. I do want to get out more and do more enjoyable things like go to movies, the ballet, listen to live bands and do some creative works like knitting, candle and soap making and anything involving Mod Podge and glitter lol.

What I need - Rx Temperance XIV - the Persian (Iranian) goddess Anahita who is a fertility goddess and also associated with the divinity of water. The first thing I notice is the peacock displaying his plumes proudly behind her. I think maybe Oshun is trying to get my attention as this is one of her sacred creatures. And now I see the seashells, which are a symbol of Yemaya, Oshun's sister. I've done spell work to both of them lately and am still waiting for those prayers to be answered. Since Temperance is all about healing, patience and the delicate integration of opposing elements this is saying I need to be patient (*Rant - ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?! Omg if i am any more patient I'll did an plastic admit bracelet with my name and birthday! -- end rant*) because the two of them are working to create the healthiest and most stable of results in answer to my prayers. I now see the calm, confident, patient look on her face.

 

How can I get what I want? - The Hermit Rx - I guess I need to get out more, be more social. I've been a bit secluded. With a birthday a few weeks away, I am feeling old and unaccomplished. I don't really want this, but I feel like given that I drew this card as an answer to the Rx KofC it means I need to go on a date. Maybe an opportunity to do so will present itself and I suppose I am being guided to get off the ice mountain and socialize. Hmm...

How to get what I need - Rx Page of Swords - Really. Another Rx card. I guess I need to stop trying to speaking about how messed up shit is and how long is taking for it to turn around. Positive affirmations, perhaps even righting them again. As Abraham-Hicks says, don't keep talking about what is if what is is not the way you want it to be. Talk about the way I want it to be as though it is the way it is.

Joy and Pain- Day 18

Again tonight I chose to use the Universal Goddess Tarot. And again tonight I've drawn The Star card.  I've drawn this card several times in the past 2 weeks so I decided to ask for clarity with another card and I pulled The Tower. I've had some pretty nasty, unpleasant and shocking things occur over the past couple of months. I was hit by a taxi cab, my brother was killed, work had been super slow, I lost my apartment I had to break up with a man that  I love very much but was bringing me down big time. All very Tower-like experiences. But then I look at the beauty of the Star card and I'm reminded of how blessed I am to have earthly beings as well as divine ones loving and encouraging me. In my head I hear the song "Joy and Pain" by Frankie Beverly and Maze. The life can so many moments extreme heartache and pain, I am very grateful for the moment of love and friendship that gives me hope.

Me, Kylie, & Aphrodite! - Day 17

Tonight's drawing is from Universal Goddess Tarot. This is the third time in a week that I've drawn The Lovers VI card. In this depiction we have a very scantily clad Venus emerging from the ocean. She is clearly a very confident woman comfortable in her own skin. I can hear the song Aphrodite by Kylie Minogue and my head right now. I absolutely love Kylie Minogue. I'd kill to see her live! She is such an amazing performer as well as an absolutely beautiful, sensual yet gracefully elegant woman. To quote the lyrics, "I'm fierce and I'm feeling mighty, don'tcha mess with me I'ma Aphrodite alright!" this song always makes me feel so energized and confident. 6's are about re establishing harmony and lovers card speaks to choosing what you're passionate about. I think when I wake up tomorrow song as well as well I'm getting ready for my day can choose embrace and exude my own inner Aphrodite!
