Through the energies we hold, we emanate a symphony of vibrations. A magnificent harmony of love and joy and peace. Among these, joy is a vibrant note. Uplifting, energizing, and life affirming. May we embrace joy as we dance the harmony of our lives. And may our vibrations inspire the harmony in others.
In joy. Enjoy!!
Blessings of joy,
Judith
Believing has always held an energy of wishful thinking for me. I invite you to move beyond believing to knowing. Knowing that we each hold a glorious and unique Light that we are here to shine in the world. Because we do. Knowing that love and joy and peace are the most powerful energies on Earth. Because they are. Knowing that we are here for a purpose, a purpose of soul. Because we are.
I don’t believe this. I know this. May you also know this.
Blessings,
Judith
We support each other in our remembering. In sacred community. In sacred communion. In our common unity of love and peace and compassion.
In my remembering, I’m grateful for you in my life.
Blessings of common unity,

In these turbulent times there is much fear and anxiety in the collective. With good reason. Yet in these times, I find peace in the alliance of spiritual energies. The wisdom of earth and cosmic energies. The wisdom of eternal perspective. The wisdom of sacred ancestors. The aligned spiritual knowing of so many sisters and brothers.
Soul sanctuary.
Yes. My mind tracks the changes and dangers we are experiencing. But my body and spirit are strong from this soul sanctuary. And I face the evil actions and influences with a sense of calm. Peaceful warrior is, for me, not an oxymoron but a place of power.
May we all embrace sacred alliances. May we all find soul sanctuary for the journey ahead.
Blessings,
Judith
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
The danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.
The Owl and the Pussy-Cat
Dancing by the light of the moon. A thread woven in a children’s poem. A thread from ancient tapestries of ceremonies and rituals under the night sky. Patterns of relationship with the moon as she moves through her celestial cycles.
In her shapeshifting fluidity, the moon shines wisdom. In her waxing and waning, the wisdom of change, of becoming and releasing. In her fullness, the wisdom of embracing the brightest of our Light. In her darkness, the wisdom of holding space for new possibilities. Threads of wisdom to weave into the pattern of our lives.
We are called to dance in her mystical and magical light!
Blessings of moon wisdom,
Judith
Owl wisdom is among the most potent and powerful of nocturnal wisdoms. Owls are masters of silence and focus. Their wings move so quietly, with feathers that break up the air turbulence and muffle the sound, even sensitive microphones are not able to detect their silent flight. Their stealth is a decisive power in the night sky.
Can we manifest a stealth of intuition and sensory knowing as we navigate the darkness of evil? Can we fly through the noise and chaos of these times with wings that break up the turbulence?
Can we create a world that remembers how to sing? Perhaps it’s time to walk with owl.
Blessings of the dark,

Darkness becomes a place of the unknown because we have abandoned our abilities of knowing in dark landscapes. When we turn away from the dark and choose only the light, within our popular mythologies of bad and good, we turn away from the gifts of the dark. We suffer the loss of that wisdom.
Perhaps it’s time to remember how to walk in the dark. For in these evil dark times, we need all the power and wisdom available to us.
Blessings of the dark,

Silence is a wisdom of the dark. Wisdom we can carry with us as we dance the harmonies and rhythms of light and dark in the cycles and seasons of our lives. A liminal space of dreams and visions.

A few nights ago, we had a bat in the house. Not entirely unusual. They fly in through a window we leave partially open for our cat. We did what we always do: turn on all the lights and leave the front door open. No drama. No trauma. It generally doesn’t take long for the bat to find its way back into the night.
Together with owls, bats are familiar creatures of our night landscape. I appreciate and welcome the world of activity in this nocturnal landscape. Are there creatures to be afraid of in nocturnal landscapes? Yes. There can be predators. And while it is clearly appropriate to fear these, is it appropriate to be cautious and fearful of all nocturnal creatures? While we do associate owls with wisdom, other creatures have been demonized to mythic proportions. Bats have become associated with vampires and wolves that roam the night are woven in werewolf legends. We have come to a place of believing that all manner of monsters lurk in the dark, monsters we’ve created out of the thin night air. As much as I found the Monsters Inc. movie delightful, it absolutely perpetuates our fear of the dark.
There was a time when we were more comfortable with the energies and creatures that inhabit the night. There was a time when we were more comfortable with relying on senses beyond sight to step into the nocturnal landscape. There was a time when especially women were fluent in nocturnal knowings and embraced the requisite adjusted and altered states of awareness. They held rituals and ceremonies under night skies with the cycles of the moon. And they also became vilified for these other ways of seeing and knowing. Thousands were killed for it.
There is much wisdom and solid grounding for us in the dark. We are invited to quit looking under our beds, open fully to all of our senses, and fly with the nocturnal energies.

I live in the woods where the nights are truly dark. I struggle when I’m visiting places where there are lights on all night. It lands as a jarring disruption to the natural rhythms of the night. Before the inundation of artificial light and the availability of constant light, our ancestors lived in harmony with the cycles of day and night, summer and winter. They considered these times of natural dark as times for gathering around the hearth fire to share music and stories, celebrating the harvest, and resting from busy day light activities.
In ancient times, people were woven with this balance. They accepted the implicit miracle of this harmony as the way of the world and the of their lives. They lived their lives in alignment with the energies of day and night. Familiar with the world of daylight, they were equally familiar with the landscapes and creatures of the night.
Blessings of the dark,
