Sunny Sunday............. kinda

Morning all,

It's Bank Holiday here in the UK and in typical fashion it's being raining fairly solidly for two days - still it's sunny where it matters - here in my heart :D

So, what have I been up to lately??

Working hard, moving desks and generally playing with the pup ..... she has just had her second set of jabs so we will be able to take her out and about next weekend - can't wait - she's getting livelier and more playful every day .........

Unfortunately, I have lost a pair of shoes and a pair of slippers - but that's a small price to pay for the smile she puts on my face!

I've also put together the Healing room and set up a healing Crystal grid and today I've purchased a Merkaba .... can't wait for that to arrive!!!

Today I am off with the KW ladies to a drumming circle and I'm quite excited to be raising some energy and sending healing to the world ....

Til next time

love and Angel Blessings to you all

How can you work with the Angels and be a Witch ........

I've been asked a few times recently how do I blend my Angelic work with being a Witch ..... so, I thought I'd blog my answer ........

This is purely my own personal Path, I'm not dissing anyone or saying that this is how it HAS to be ... this is my way...........

Personally, I don't see the two as being seperate and distinct Paths - mine blend and each enhances the other.  I view Diety as a whole, the Divine and I see and speak to Spirits that may be Guides or maybe Angels - I normally, ask who is there to help me with whatever the situation is ..... admittedly the Angels step forward first a lot - but that's because they are so eager to help us .... it's what they 'live' for after all.

I have never been (due to my own moral compass) someone that wishes harm or ill feelings on someone - so I've always 'operated' from a position of love and compassion, when I work a spell it's only to serve mine or someone else's Highest Self, so it's easy to incorporate the Angelic love and wisdom into any of my spell work.

When I do a Rune casting, Card reading, or Chakra balancing again it's only done with the utmost love and care and again, it's easy to ask the Angels, ArchAngels or Ascended Masters for help with that - and again they are happy to assist - all we have to do is ask!

Being a Witch is what I am, I am a Witch at home, at work, asleep or awake, I can't 'turn it off' to become a Lightworker, I'm an Empath 24/7 as well .... so, how could the two workings be seperate??

Yes, I follow the Wheel of the Year (not always on the exact days) but that's my personal choice, I don't always have a full ritual - in fact, the majority of the time I will light a candle and just meditate on the Sabbat, but that's me... I work full time, I'm a mother, grandmother, wife and daughter, co-run the KW School and write lessons, workshops and rituals and so,  I don't always have time for grand rituals at home .......

The Angels complete me, I view them with love and know that they are with me daily, they choose to urge me to work with them, yes there have been a few nay-sayers along my Path that have told me I'm not 'cut out' for this Path, but I kept the faith and now have a Path that works with me and I work with it... I've been told I'm a natural channeller .......... this is normally after I've come out with something profound and then look totally shocked........ I don't know I do it, I can't turn it on and off - but that's another thing for me to learn and I'm excited to learn how to incorporate the loving energy of the Angels into more and more of my life .........

Walking this Path is so very personal, what works for me might not work with someone else, and that's absolutely the way it should be - my way is just that MY way, it's not going to resonate with everyone or anyone else ..........

I am at peace with my Path, I don't justify it or announce it, I live it ....... and the Angels help me to do that, I have to giggle tho, as I have had people tell me that they are Lightworkers from 9 - 10, then they have a coffee and then they research some stuff, then they do their 'witchiness' from 12 - 4, then they are a mother, father, etc - then they meditate from 8 - 9 then they go to bed ........ jeepers I couldn't do that - for one thing - when Spirit speaks and moves in you - it has no linear timeframe - so, how does it know that at 11 minutes past 12 you are not Witch??

I hope this blog answers some of the questions - in short - I am who I am and I can't be anything other than myself :D and hopefully you like that about me...

Lazy days of Summer .....

LOL - well, not really, I've been a busy bird lately....

Yesterday saw us at the Kitchen Witch Hazel Moon ritual at QECP, slightly soggy but a lovely, lovely energy raised and while we were drumming I had the pleasure of seeing a lovely fairy bubble floating through the trees!!!

Today, we headed into town to get our eldest's birthday present - but the first stop was Waterstones - I had a £10 gift voucher burning a hole in my purse ........ LOL - £23 later and I have another set of Oracle cards and two new books (technically, only the oracle cards are mine the two books belong to youngest and hubby!!!) ............ I'm so blessed!

Then we went off to find paint for the Reiki room - found so many things that just 'went' with the vision in my head of how I want the room to look - it's going to be a peaceful haven from all the stresses and strains of life ......... Can't wait to start.......... however, it's going to have to wait until Tuesday when hubby will have help in removing the sofa that's in the room at the moment ........ stick around I may do before and after pics ....

Now it's time to connect to the cards and see how they work for me ........

love and Angel Blessings to you all

Anniversary and Angel Reiki .......

Well, today has been productive and a little awesome - it's mine and hubby's 15th Wedding Anniversary and we haven't really done much in the way of celebrating - we've been together now for 22 years - and although we have had many ups and downs and last year was the year from hell for us - we've come through it stronger than ever ....

We do bicker, but we rarely fight anymore - before I found my Path I was at a very low, dark place, I felt out of step with the world - and we were heading for a divorce - it's not a place I ever want to visit again - but we came through that - we talked, we worked at it and we kept our sense of humour (we do take the pee out of each other a lot)

Finally, being able to put a name to my 'over sensitivity' or Empathy was as much a breakthrough as any other part of this journey we have both taken - he may not believe but he walks with me every day!

And, so that brings us to today .... and, well, quite simply - I love him with all my heart and I know that he loves me too....

He bought me a treatment table for the Angel room as my anniversary gift - so that I can 'do it' properly ... yep, he is pretty special ....

*and yep I will still moan about his feet smelling and his snoring*

Also, today I received my Angel Reiki business cards - boy how grown up that makes me feel - and the magnetic side plates for the car ......

I'm really doing this!!!

love n Angel blessings to everyone

As promised ......... here's the exciting news ....

Here she is - our little bundle of mischief ........ Molly!!!

We've had our hands full this week with her - it is most definitely like having a baby in the house again - having to get up during the night for wee breaks ......... but she is adorable and for some reason loves my feet!!!

Last night we had a bit of a rough one with her so I gave her some Angelic Reiki and boy is she an excited minx tonight - chewing and prancing and acting the clown - Goddess love her!

The other bit of news is I've started the website for my Angelic Reiki business - I do feel very grown up - especially as I have ordered business cards and various marketing paraphanelia .... did seem a bit like tooting my horn a bit too much tho ......

So the link to the business is here

http://arcofangellight.weebly.com/

Let me know what you think of the site ... it's still a work in progress - but it's getting there :D

Exciting Times and Holibobs.............

Phew what a flurry of activity the last week has seen for me and the rest of the roost....

Firstly, last weekend saw me become a Certified Angel Reiki practioner - and I'm soooo happy about that - it's something that has been calling me for a while, but, having had my 'dreams stolen' from me it took me a while to 'claim' my title........

I did 'worry' a little after I signed up for the course on how working with Angels would work with my Path of being a Witch - and I needn't have worried at all - they compliment each other so well and it's enhanced my Path immersurably!

I am working on a website where I will be able to offer Angelic Reiki and readings and other bits and pieces but that's a work in progress at the moment...... watch this space!

After the Reiki weekend we headed off to the Lakes ........ did ya miss me?? and stayed in a lovely Grade II listed hotel .... which had the strangest of energies to it - nothing I could pinpoint or 'tap' into to see who or what ..... just echo's of the past ........ made sleeping a tad difficult which then played into the daily adventures ........ I'm a tad grumpy when I have no sleep.........

Strangely, our last night there (where we had to get up at the crack of dawn for an earlybeatthetraffic getaway) was the best night I had all week!

Tomorrow is the Kitchen Witch Schools Crystal workshop and i'm looking forward to that ANNNNNNNNNND also........... no, you can wait for that one :P

love and angel blessings
