Past Lives

Fear of Persecution - A Witch's Swan Blessing Story

Another beautiful Swan Blessing story to share with you today from our book in creation: 'Releasing the Ties That Bind'. Thank you Bec for your sharing as I read it, I felt the healing for us all again. With your telling you are helping so many who are feeling the bindings and very real fear of persecution of the Wise Woman again in our time. This Swan journey is so amazingly empowering, I honour you sister and the return of your great gifts in fearless love.

I was in a small cottage in the woods, surrounded by small children , an elderly lady was crying as I  kissed them goodbye.  I knew they were coming for me. I knew I was a wise woman and they feared me. I actually felt at peace. I told the elderly woman it would be alright. I was quite young with beautiful long hair.

My next thought was to get away from cottage as I could see the torches in the distance.  I started running through the woods. They caught me about 500 meters from my cottage. My thought then was are my family are safe as I looked back towards the cottage? They had me on my knees with my head pulled back by my hair. I was surrounded by men and could feel the fear in their heart. I was taken under the cover of darkness. It was a lynch mob. A powerful man with the authority was behind the scenes. Orchestrating the outcome. I felt he was scared of my inner power.  

The very next thing I saw was a vision of her standing on a pyre. It quite surreal as I stepped out as myself from the future to see my past self on the pyre. I could see a sea of what looked like Pilgrim hats, and a town square. She was searching frantically for someone or something in the faces before her; she knew this was going to happen. There was no hatred in her body, only sadness and compassion, for the people doing this to her. I watched as the tears streamed down my face. I stepped forward and her eyes locked onto to mine. She smiled at me and said with her eyes:  ah good you are here! I have been waiting. My soul felt like it exploded in to a million pieces, it was such a deep and profound connection. Her words to me were: You are free, Have no fear. They cannot come for you in this lifetime. Your family are safe. Be true to your soul and path. With that she closed her eyes and tilted her head skywards. And whispered 'I am ready” to the Heavens.   As they lit the pyre. I saw a bright white light come down from above. She was enfolded by light and I could see two beings beside her. The flames had only reached her feet. But she was already free.  

Julia and Tony I thank you for releasing my fear/binding, in this life as a healer/witch/ wise woman. I hadn’t realised that this fear of judgement and persecution had been holding me back. Also my intense dislike of authority makes sense. My past self had no fear; No anger, she accepted it, in perilous times of who she was.  Her message to me was the gift of Freedom, acceptance and walking the path of self truth. No more Hiding.   

With Love, Bec 2012

I urge you all to experience the potent and healing medicine of Bec Rainbowwalker. For years Bec worked as a nurse and in palliative care had many experiences of the divine crossing over of the soul. I am so happy to say that she is honouring her wise gifts and is now offering incredible sessions of energetic and intuitive healing here in Melbourne. She offers such beauty and grace to all especially those recovering from grief and loss after death as she is a beautiful 'midwife of the soul' and has such a deep understanding of the journey of the soul from this life to the next. I have had the personal experience of Bec's healing and they are deeply transformative. Love your way, Sister : www.rainbowalker.com

A Swan Blessing Remembering

I have begun receiving recollections and stories from those who have experienced The Swan Blessing for our book: The Swan Blessing - Releasing the Ties That Bind. They are so very potent and beautiful. Here is Jane's memory of her journey with the Swan. 


I saw her, old, long scraggly hair, wrapped in tanned animal hide for protection, by the river, in the forest, alone, very alone, sad, resigned, quiet.She'd been banished from the village, or maybe she'd run away and been hiding, either way it was because she'd been found out or would have been and that meant she'd had to leave or die.  

I saw her, young, she was writing furiously, long feather quill, hiding somewhere in a corner of the attic of the dwelling, in the dark, a lone taper burning. She was scared, fearful of being seen, yet she wrote and she wrote, pausing only to hear more to write.The words were coming to her from others, words she couldn't see who spoke, yet the words came and she wrote them.The Grandmother who lived in her hut in the forest had told her that the voices and their words that she heard were important and that she must write them down and give them to her. She taught her to write and read and told her to keep it a secret, not to tell anyone and to keep on doing it.On the Grandmother's death bed, she made her promise, make a vow, to never let anyone else know about the words she heard and to not let anyone see her writing, otherwise she would be killed. She wrote and wrote and the words soothed her soul. She shared them with her mother and her sisters because the words spoke of a different way, a way where they would be honoured and respected, it was so different to how it was for them.... The vow she made to the Grandmother kept her scared, scared of being seen, scared of being found out and scared of what would happen should she be discovered and the vow kept the words secret, but the words wanted to be shared and read.....  

The vow she made stayed with her until another lifetime when she went to the Blacksmith's cottage and met a Witch who flew with Swan. The Witch helped her find a way to cut away the web that was the vow, that had stuck to her, that was stuck in and around and all over her. And Black Panther came then, to be with her, to protect her and guard her. She was safe now, the vow was released and the words could come freely and be shared.

Introducing The Black Swan - Black Moon Lilith Sessions

,

  • Astrology: Discover where your own personal Black Moon Lilith resides in your Astrological Natal Chart and how this influence has been felt in your life. 
  • Tarot: Let the esoteric symbols of the Tarot give accurate and practical advice on what is needed to be released and embraced in your personal Lilith story. How to polish the gifts Lilith has given to see their light. 
  • Past Lives: Delve deeper into your Lilith story through Past Life Healing to uncover and heal past wounds and to reclaim your ancient wise woman gifts of the Dark Feminine. 

Know Thyself.  At this time of the rise of the Divine Feminine we are being asked to embrace the full radiance of our Spirits. This radiance soon illuminates all aspects of our lives and we become aware of the 'orphaned' or 'outcast' traits of ourselves hiding in the shadows.  Shame, regret, anger and guilt about the past wounding of the Feminine are emotions we will focus on transforming as we cast them into the alchemical cauldron. This energetic transformation works to heal the splitting of our spirit that occurs when we begin to label parts of ourselves or areas of our life as 'good' or 'bad'. There is no such thing. When we heal this illusion & embrace the purity of our essence we see the wounds as signposts to our gifts as: the wise woman, the shamaness, the wild artist and the fearless lover. 

By embracing our 'night-time sister' we create a sense of wholeness & embodiment of the luminous, unbroken circle. In our Black Moon Lilith session together you will receive vital messages from the Dark Feminine about your current life and past lives as well as practical advice on how to own the beautiful and potent gifts awaiting recovery from the shadows. We are in the time of The Deep, a time of going beyond the superficial, beyond the influence of anything other than our own Authority. I welcome and invite every part of you to step forward in all of your wild splendour!

Clearing Past Life and Ancestral Vows and Beliefs

 

Julia Margaret Cameron: The Little Novice & the Queen 1874
 
'Julia, I feel like you are a big part of my healing. I wake up every day thinking is this me? Is this a dream? Thinking that I will wake up and it didn't happen and I will go back to before. I tap and feel my body every day. I feel like i have been in a box locked up for years and now I am free and let out, like a new life, a new start. I am still in shock of it all and can't believe how I feel. It's like I am back.'

Clearing Past Life Sacred Vows - Balance Session

THE SACRED WORD
Sometimes it is only in doing the work that you come to truly know it. In particular, since the Autumn Equinox this year I have seen many clients, for energy balances and have to come to understand that the work I am doing is clearing past life and ancestral sacred vows, promises & oaths. I have been seeing an many people called to healing and artistic paths from all walks of life, coming forward to shed old vows and beliefs that are creating blocks in their healing work & personal lives in the present. 
 

Spiritual Vows include:

  • The vow of chastity - creating relationships difficulties and belief that we must choose either a vocation or a relationships, that we cannot have both.
  • The vow of obedience - causing a block to using your personal power in this life
  • The vow of silence - causing blocks to creative and individual expression as well as blocks to passing on sacred teachings in this life - in the past this may have resulted in death
  • The vow of poverty - creating a feeling of deep guilt in relation to creating financial wealth in this life
  • The vow of death before dishonour - relating to past lives as sacred warriors or soldiers and creates a block in being able to leave unhappy relationships or work that is deeply unfulfilling & even dangerous
  • The healer's oath - (forbade healers to use healing energy for themselves but to keep 'serving' others)
In the past many people called to the healer's path had to live lives hidden away from mainstream society or spiritual vocations that may have meant decades offered up in servitude to temples and churches. And of course many healers were persecuted and executed for their beliefs and for their earth wisdom and knowledge of natural healing. In those times, the making of Sacred and Spiritual Vows kept us safe and helped us to survive but in this life they create extreme circumstances that make living extremely difficult and create enormous blocks to sharing our powerful healing gifts with trust.
 
You can read more about this work and testimonials here. I feel so deeply honoured to be able to offer this work and I have made extra times available for sessions after the Full Moon next week as we move into the Dark Moon and then build up to the Eclipse - a natural time of bringing what needs to be examined to the surface of our lives. 
 

New Autumn Classes & Workshops

Serpentarium by Patricia Ariel

Hello Beautiful People,

Autumn is already bringing so many changes for us all and my deepest wish is that we can move through this time of growth with ease, grace and flow. Just like a snake shedding the old skin, we are all evolving, becoming the new self sometimes just through the simple action of acceptance of who we truly are and have always been. Tony and I have been so honoured to be a small part of the huge transformations that have taken place in the circles held this year. The energy is deeper than anything we have ever felt in all our years working together and it is a beautiful and humbling experience to be able to hold the space for such beauty & growth. I have great hopes for us all in these profound times.

As the work has deepened so much we have felt called to hold smaller classes in sacred space and we will be holding all circles after this week in our personal studio space. I am very excited about this as the energy has been gathering and building in this space like a deep well and this extraordinary painting 'Serpentarium' by Patricia Ariel will be taking pride of place in our studio as we all open up to our full potential.

If you feel called to deepen connection to your spirit at your own personal pace in a warm and respectful group of like-minded souls, these are the Autumn Classes still open for enrolment.

Oceans of love, Julia & Tony

Deepening the Connection - New Classes and Workshops

,
I welcome you my sisters to join me as we celebrate music, mythology, symbology and reawaken our Wise Woman gifts in warm and friendly circles dedicated to remembering the Ancient Worlds of our Ancestral Memory. As we rediscover our deep bond with Mother Nature we naturally develop our forgotten gifts of prophecy, creativity and healing. Join me as we celebrate the Moon Mysteries of Mother Nature in all of her wild and abundant beauty. 
Join us in the music, transform in the sound.

As we journey on our Immramma (Irish for 'Wonder Voyage') we will enter a realm of mystery, magic and healing. On these journeys we will encounter the Wise Teachers, Healers and Guardians that all reside within us. We already know these helpful energies intuitively as you will discover as we reclaim our Ancient Ancestral Wisdom and Mythic Story.
Who will step forward to guide you along these ancient pathways? In this 6 week course of Journeying and Oracle Reading you will gently bring your focus to your new companions, begin to trust your Intuition and learn to have faith in the messages your receive from the natural world around you, to your animal messengers and plant guardians. 

When we connect to the Wise Healer Within, like the wise Shaman, we begin to understand the patterns and signs of the daily Oracle of our lives. In these warm and relaxed circles you will widen your own circles of friendship and develop your own daily shamanic practice of finding and keeping Sacred Space so you can remember your beautiful and ancient relationship with Mother Earth. By journeying with the music we connect to the elements through sacred smudging and water blessing, forming deep bonds with our Spirit Guides and Animal Totems. After each journey we will explore further learning with various oracle systems to helps to understand and heal from the messages and symbols we receive for ourselves and for others.
