SHE speaks in the cities

Yesterday afternoon I went walking the shoreline here in Williamstown which is only 15 minutes from the Melbourne CBD. I went first to visit my dear black swan sisters at the end of my street and then to return three large bluestones that I had taken to be a representation of Earth at Red Tent Dreaming. After returning the stones back to their home I was intrigued to see in the distance a threshold totem in the water, the White Crane. It was so hard to see it almost looked like a ghost - perhaps she was...or a messenger from the Aboriginal ancestors who used to gather at this shore... And then I saw Pelican like a giant ship in the sky. 
Many of us are feeling the changes of our Mother Earth and you may be feeling a call to the forest or to the sea. You may be feeling frustrated about living in the city. I encourage you to look around you, to look up above the buildings. We have so many beautiful birds here in Melbourne, so many wild visitors to the city. Wherever you are, you are close to HER. Nature speaks to us all.

The Weekly Familiar - Tasmanian Tiger

,
The Weekly Familiar - an Animal Message from Tony

This Week's Familiar is the Tasmanian Tiger.

The Tasmanian Tiger was been hunted to extinction many years ago but is still with us in spirit. The Tasmanian Tiger has come forward to teach us about acknowledgement. Sometimes we are not acknowledging our gifts to ourselves or to others. The Tasmanian Tiger was a very shy animal and rarely seen. Because of this stories were created about this beautiful animal that were not true and it was deemed very dangerous. Is it time to stop shying away from your own gifts? Is it becoming more dangerous or unpleasant to remain hiding them? Try to  acknowledge your talents first within yourself, when you accept your own abilities even though you may be shy, others will feel this and acknowledge you for who you truly are. We all have our own special gifts. We honour the spirit of Tasmanian Tiger, we have not forgotten you.

Be Wild!

Tony

Red Tent Dreaming

, ,

A deep well of love, an enormous thank you to Jane Hardwicke Collings and her beautiful mermaid sisters of The School of Shamanic Midwifery for their incredible work holding space at Red Tent Dreaming in Melbourne on the weekend. Today I feel changed and yet more myself than ever before. The energy created was deep and joyous and so grounded. It was such a gift to open the ruby red circle and share the water blessing with you all.

Oceans of love to all of my sisters who opened their hearts in the ruby glow and shared their spirits with such integrity. We are here, we are back and we are many.

For all of our Sydney tribe Red Tent Dreaming will be in your neck of the woods this week! I urge you to return, to remember...you are sacred and you are free.

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

The Vow of Silence - A Swan Blessing Story

,
Untitled by Emmanuel Catarino Montoya

Thank you Talulah for sharing your Swan Blessing story here - a beautiful remembering and releasing of the mystic, the warrior, the chosen one who took a Vow of Silence so that the past would not be repeated. Oceans of love to you Talulah for the return of your beautiful voice and for a clear pathway to be The Chosen One again in this time of fearless love.

"When I peered into the water to see who was looking back at me, there were two faces staring up, two men. One was an ancient man, so old and thin his bones poked through his skin. The other was a young man, native American, he was very beautiful and so, so sad. I went with the old man first. We were walking through an ancient village, rough dwellings made of stone and cave like shelters. No one looked at him, he was an outcast. I walked with him, as him, I felt his incredible knowledge, and I felt how he received it, he was a channel for universal wisdom, and no one would hear him, ever.We went back to his childhood, he was around 13 years old. The son of the village leader, he was the next in line, the promised one.

His father was a cruel leader, his mother was beaten and tortured, he knew it was wrong and promised he would never be like his father. He spoke out against his father and his ways, speaking the wisdom he received. He was rejected by his father, his family and the whole community followed, he became the outcast, wandering alone.We went to the water and Brigid gave me a wand to cut through the thick smoke that bound me in this promise. I saw him released and floating free, and I felt that he had always had peace in his heart with the vow he made, he knew it was right, the whisperings of the universe had reminded him of this through his long and lonely life. 

Back at the water the young man waited for me. We went to his home, he was the leader of the tribe, a warrior that had a deep connection to spirit, he listened to his guides and heard what he needed to do and spoke this to his people. There was an ongoing battle with another tribe and he had a plan in how to triumph over the enemy. He spoke this to his brothers and they left to fight together. He was shocked and horrified when his brothers turned against him and attacked him, shooting arrows, not to kill him, but maim him terribly. He could not fight anymore, he could not lead anymore, he was useless and crippled. He vowed to never speak again. I saw him live a very sad, lonely life, helpless and defeated. We returned to Brigid, and this time she handed me a mallet to smash my way out of this stone vow I was imprisoned in. He floated up and away, released from pain and suffering.

I cried with relief to see him set free. These vows were so ancient, so many lifetimes ago, yet so familiar to me. I felt those vows within me even, though those lives were so alien and surprising. I have lived by these vows to some extent my whole life, in place I know to protect me from these things ever happening again. But now, with these promises lifted, I am free to trust my knowing, the intuition I have always heard, the messages I receive, and speak of them freely. To live by my new vow... I will be beauty and give of this beauty."
