March 2014 Spiritual and Magical Properties of Essential Oils, Fragrance Oils, and Herbs
MONDAY, March 3, 2014
Monday Personal Power Boosting Colors: Silver, White, Cream, Lavender
Feeling slow, low, sluggish, tired, out of energy, lacking motivation and drive? Yep, everyone else is too. A big percentage of our energy waves are in slow motion now. Some are headed forward, some are going to have us in re-view, re-organize mode, but this week we are definitely going to be feeling the effects of how slowly it all is moving.
Headway is not a thing we will be making this week, so do not try. If you meet with resistance, go try something else, because there is no way it is going to be “worked” out this week.
The things we can do with this energy week: We can start looking at our finances and seeing where we want to invest in our future. Long term plans should be listed and the components should start being gone over. What will it take in time, money, resource and commitment to achieve the plan at hand. Action, responsibility and resources are not going to be flowing freely until we get into summer. What is working now is the ability to thoroughly investigate what it will take to make a solid foundation for success in our biggest, wildest dreams. Our relationships: romantic, partnerships, family, friends, bosses and colleagues are all very much in focus now as well. It is a good time to re-evaluate those important and meaningful ones and find ways to deepen and strengthen them. It is also a good time to pull away or even end those that are taking energy away from us but not giving anything back to replenish us. One way is not going to work this year. The same old thing is not going to keep us going either. We have until almost the end of May to work through the “re-do” to be ready for the race.
Purchases, computers and traffic should all be much better this week, for most people. We are also in a lucky streak now, for some as well. The money/resource fairy is out there and has been gifting people with unexpected cash and freebies all week, WE can expect more of that this week, and even into next. As we get into next week, we will find that our efforts to save money and cut spending will show up in more cash flow! Family and home remain the main focus of our finance minds, so keep after the things that will make home feel nicer, more comfortable and secure.
There is a sexy vibration that lasts through next week that many of us have been noticing. The other thing it bring with it is the tendency to argue…the tension will either make you or break you. It is enjoyable if you can manage the aggravation that goes with it. We will definitely be feeling strong attractions.
On Monday, take a chance, step out and make sure that those who have the means to invest in you know what you are working on. The results might take time to be completely seen, but Monday is the day we need to be sure that those in positions to help us know that we want the assistance. And if you have it to give, watch for that person who needs your help.
If you need money to begin, work on, or end a project, use the following oil recipe for a little boost:
Blend together with 1 ounce Carrier Oil:
12 drops Cedarwood Essential Oil
11 drops Ginger Essential Oil
11 drops Oakmoss Essential Oil
11 drops Patchouli Essential Oil
Swirl together until all oils are thoroughly mixed before each use.
Use this blend to anoint green candles while concentrating on your need for money.

Wednesday: Gold, Brown, Yellow, Green
We are moving into a very high intuition, gut-feeling and imagination stimulation flow. Which means the analytical will be hard to deal with and hard to use. We will have two VERY acute weeks of this, where things are going to be fuzzy, not clear and best if we do not try to see any details.
It will lighten a bit the first week of April, but now is not the time to try to use our brain to figure things out. Our heart and gut are going to be the more accurate tools for the coming couple of weeks, so use them, trust them and LISTEN to them!
This past weekend’s full Moon has brought in to our “must deal with it” aspects of our personality that we DO NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the phrase “Suck it up, Buttercup”.
We are human, we are habitual and we get stuck. BECAUSE deep down we are programed to survive, we cling to the things that we find success in repeatedly. The issue with that is we cannot grow in the same old soil forever.
If you have ever had house plants you will know that at some point, you have to add fresh dirt. And Nutrients. Same goes for everything that has energy…meaning everything.
Growing stretches. Sometimes we stretch a little further than we thought we could. And later it hurts. Sometimes it hurt right away. But as with the muscle soreness, we find that with time and repetition, the pain goes away and it becomes used to a new “typical” way of being.
As we go through this adjustment and meet the challenges (that are coming no matter our effort to stop them), it is important that we strengthen the relationships[s that are supporting us. It is also as important to find a way to end relationships that have run their course and are no longer healthy for any part of our Human Being.
The most important thing to remember while doing this is to be KIND…considerate and SLOW to react. This means to others as we are trying to regain balance while we let go of weight. (It has to re-distribute, you know. When we let go, we make space, so our energy, our life, our thoughts have to level out to become balanced once more.)
We need to be kind to our self. We should start by being nice, kind, complimentary and uplifting to our self each day. This will then help us be the same way to others.
If you are an artist in ANY medium…Now it prime time to create. If you are not so inclined, now it the time to take in your favorite things. This is a peak creative wave and many beautiful, magical wonderful things can be made within it. Oh…and it comes to me to remind everyone: The is no person that cannot and does not make memories. So if you can do nothing else, do something that you will remember 20 years from now. That energy is creative and will satisfy for a lifetime.

Happy Spring! Happy Ostara!

‘Sabbat’ comes from the French word ‘s’ebattre’, which means to rejoice, frolic, and revel. That is exactly what these days are for, the joyous celebration of life and nature. Sabbat’s are determined by the Earth and Sun, and the natural energy created by their relationships to each other.
Each spring, there comes a day when the hours between sunrise and sunset are exactly equal to the hours between sunset and sunrise. We call this the ‘Vernal Equinox’, or Ostara.
Below, you will find some Essential Oil and Fragrance Oil recipes, to use for Ostara.

15 drops Geranium
15 drops Jasmine

WEEKEND REPORT
Saturday and Sunday; March 22 and 23, 2014
Weekend Personal Power Boosting Colors:
Saturday: Blue, Brown, Gray, Black
Sunday: Gold, Orange, Yellow, Red, White
Our weekend is full of fun, friends, gathering, big ideas, optimism and generosity.
The mood will be upbeat, so enjoy. It is a good weekend for thinking about how you will use the assistance and opportunities that will be finding us next week.
A big wave of good luck is coming at us (all of us) next week, so we need to prepare now. And some (not all) of us will also have a needed and deserved feeling of euphoria, a time of knowing and feeling that everything is well in the world and it really will all be okay.
Keep in mind our clarity is not good, in fact we need to be cautious of errors due to lack of attention. Double/triple-check the facts, measurement, intersection and instructions to avoid a costly mistake.
What is great now is making anything or enjoying things others have created. We are pulling inspiration and ideas out of the ether through our psychic antennae. Share what you are given. If you are not the “doer” then be the admirer. All wonderful things need to be enjoyed as well as made, and it takes more than one person to do that. It is a balance, a give and take.
Blockages and obstacles will be everywhere also. We have to learn to work in the given parameters. This means instead of trying to push our way through in the manner we (at first) thought it HAS to go, pull back, regroup and figure a work around for situations that stop short of getting us to the goal. If you meet resistance, stop and try something else. Have the conversation later. Go with a different idea. Compromise. But know, if you try to bull and plow ahead when the way is blocked, you will waste energy and become discouraged for no reason. Also you will miss out on The Best path the Universe has to offer.
Enjoy the weekend. Share a good meal, coffee or long phone call with someone special. Give something away and make room for the new that is coming. We are going to be doing a lot of that next week, might as well practice now.

WEEKEND REPORT

We are in the midst of a lucky streak. Most of it will be good (luck can be not good…as we know).
Opportunities and support for our goals/dreams will be coming from all directions, many of them will be where we least expect to find them. The key is to be open, share your ambitions and be ready to say yes to the commitment. That will be the most difficult part. As we move from our “now” into the next reality we are creating, we will have to make choices of what we are going to give up and/or change in order to make room for the “new”.
And we all know how hard it is to let go, especially of things we might have many years, even decades of doing, being, acting, living.
As much as we always want to stay in the comfort zone…that is not where or HOW we grow. The evolution of a seed into a fruit bearing plant does not allow for “staying” the same. Many of us have experienced physical growing pains at some time in our lives. If not personally, through our children or other loved ones. I am certain that the seed as it splits and reveals the plant with in must feel some sort of discomfort. And so it is as we grow emotionally, spiritually and mentally. As our life changes, some things will b difficult to let go of and we are going to miss them…for a while.
Anyone who has children, parents or has lived life for any length of time knows that NOTHING, NOTHING and NOTHING lasts forever. School, jobs, people, hobbies, interests, food preferences, everything has a time it is the “norm”. And all of those things eventually run their course and end. And, we ALWAYS find something else to fill the time. Fear not the shift and change, it is how we are able to become The Best Me we can be!
The weekend will be low on energy but high on opportunity. It will feel like we are in a hurry, and the time will go by fast. There is a chance we will be a bit impatient as well, so keep the temper in check and do some breathing to help calm the inside.
The new moon ( first one of spring) happens Sunday afternoon. this is the time for writing out the list of steps or actions it will take to achieve the goal or dream you have in mind for the coming weeks, months or even years. It is also a good time to write a letter about something we want to let go of, a hurt that we have been holding onto or a challenge that has us stumped. Write it, read it then either shred, rip or burn it up. No matter which way it is destroyed, keep the vision of the thing you want to be released being torn up or burnt and flying away into the Universe as pieces, no longer a whole thing. This makes it POWERLESS over us…because it is no longer the “whole” that was causing us pain, frustration or blockage.
Be careful with words as some of us may be in a mode of saying hurtful things. And it is not a good idea to be hurtful, with words or actions. We know that what we do and think sends out a wave indicating we would like more of that…so be sure to ATTRACT how you want to be treated, by holding that mean comment or NOT saying something that will hurt another, even if you feel it to be true at the time. No good ever comes of making someone else feel badly.
The weekend is also good for getting together with friends and loved ones. Do something fun with someone you enjoy being with. Then share the tale with someone who might not be able or want to do that thing. Enjoying stories of the adventures of others is a good way to help them relive a fun memory and a good way for us to share in that, even if we do not want to participate.
Enjoy this New Moon weekend and the energy of growth it brings!
Goddess of the New Moon – Hekate
Image courtesy of Yahoo Images
Hekate is the Goddess of the wild places, childbirth and the crossroads. These are all in between spaces that are associated with the spirit world; for the wilderness is not yet tame, birth is the moment of life where death stands in waiting and the three ways cross roads intersect at a point that is between all the directions. She was called upon by the ancients to provide protection and wisdom at these critical points.
As the in between spaces are the places where the veils between the worlds traditionally believed to be at their thinnest they are also associated with witches, magic and ghosts. From these links she gained the titles of Queen of witches and Queen of Ghosts and became a crone Goddess.
Today she is considered to be a Goddess of crossroads as offerings were made to her on the night of the new moon. Hence she is also Queen of the night as she is linked to the darkest night.
Other spellings of her name include Hecate and Hekat.
