Dreaming in 2012 Full Moon Visionboard Workshop
Hello Everyone,
Edith Sitwell
Edith Sitwell, 1959 described by Elizabeth Bowen as a 'high altar on the move'. |
Edith Sitwell has been whispering to me today...
'As for the usefulness of poetry, its uses are many. It is the deification of reality. It should make our days holy to us. The poet should speak to all men, for a moment, of that other life of theirs that they have smothered and forgotten.'
'I am not eccentric. It's just that I am more alive than most people. I am an unpopular electric eel set in a pond of goldfish.'
Edith Sitwell, photo by George Platt Lynes, 1937 |
Said the skeleton lying upon the
sands of time -
"The great gold planet that
is the mourning heat
of the sun
Is greater than all gold, more powerful
Than the tawny body of a lion that fire
consumes
Like all that grows or leaps...so
is the heart.

Kyanite Aura Mist created on the Full Moon Eclipse
On Saturday night just after midnight at the time of the Full Moon Eclipse thunder and lightning illuminated a sky tinged with a red blush. In this energy of wild nature, I created the latest batch of Kyanite Mist Sacred Space & Energy Protector Spray. It was a beautiful experience to prepare the sacred water from the wells in the semi-darkness as the wind and rain swirled through the open window. I kept calling the blue bottles 'my blue ladies' as I measured and poured by candlelight the blend of plant, stone and water essences.
The main ingredient of the Aura Mist is the wonderfully protective and cleansing gem essence of desert Kyanite gathered from Northern Territory gifted to me by my dear friend and wild Earth Woman, Martina of Nature's Art Melbourne. The medicine of the stone Kyanite is one of keeping your own 'essence' - free of any other energy. It has the power of never needing any cleansing, it simply will not retain any negative energy from anyone or thing and I think this is particularly needed in these changing times - not to shield ourselves but to remain in our own unique and authentic essence.
The generous Lilly Pilly tree that shared her medicine and essence |
For the first time I have also added the Australian plant essence of Lilly Pilly. The Lilly Pilly is a rainforest plant known for creating balance in energy fields and can sweep clutter from the body and psyche. Lilly Pilly brings a lightness to the body and space around us. I also created the Lilly Pilly plant essence over the weekend of the eclipse. Added to these healing waters are the pure essential oils of Lavender, Rose Geranium & Bergamot.
Many of you may still be feeling the energy of the Full Moon Eclipse as the transformation continues to move through us over the next couple of weeks. I'm finding this Full Moon Kyanite Mist is quietly and calmly keeping the space around me clear of confusion and clutter, enabling me to keep dreaming in new ideas for change and growth for next year. I spray it not only around my rooms but all over my body - the smell and feel is nurturing and grounding.
I have just 10 bottles of this Full Moon Eclipse Kyanite Aura Mist left after filling orders so please let me know as soon as you can if any of these 'blue ladies' are calling to you, the cost is $25 each including postage.
Waterfalls of love,
Julia
Mirror, Mirror - Looking forward to 2012 Classes!
Hello beautiful people! We are in the lead-up zone to the Full Moon Eclipse in Gemini tomorrow night. A beautiful time of insight and deeply intuitive impulses that hopefully help you to understand just where you want to be in 2012. Eclipses tend to bring up issues from the depths into the light and this will be an intensely felt eclipse - you may want to still be in Hermit mode to avoid some difficult energy as Mercury is still in retrograde until 13th December. It will be a beautiful weekend for taking it slow and going within - all the answers you need are inside yourself waiting to be unlocked.
We are so excited to let you know about the new workshops and classes we'll be teaching next year - lots of changes - lots more art!! Yay for that! I have been feeling more and more that the deep healing we need will be unlocked through art and much of what I'll be offering next year will be involving different art mediums to help you unlock creativity - a sure path to the embodied self. Next year is all about developing trust to our own knowing.
As you know we like to keep our classes small to work deeply so please let us know as soon as possible if you wish to take part in these classes as they will fill up fast. In some classes we will have to offer places to those who have studied with us previously and are most suitable - particularly in the channeling course: The Oracle Speaks.
Much love for all of your new creations - especially that beautiful creation: YOURSELF!
Looking forward to sharing with you all next year,
Waterfalls of love,
Julia & Tony xx
Happy Beltane everyone, it's time to fly with the Shining Ones!
I have a temple...
