New Moon In Sagittarius *

“Go deeper, go deeper, go deeper”, she whispers to me, brining me into the folds and depths of myself I have yet to explore. The feminine, winter’s approach, the dark new moon all are beckoning us to plunge ourselves into the fertile darkness, quietly calling us to look at our shadows and wounds. The world is demanding that we address our shadows right now. They are being mirrored to us in full force. Standing Rock and the continued violence again Native and Indigenous persons who honor and live with the Earth. The election and rise in violence and revealing of our pain and bigotry. The bombings in Syria and her children being wounded and killed.  The blatant disregard for the sacredness of life in all its forms. Everywhere you look we are oversaturated with the agony of the world and impact of what we have created. We are inundated with this pain; we cannot turn away. And although there are so many days that seeing it all, hearing it all, f e e l i n g it all is too much to bear. I promise you loves, there is a wisdom in all of this. Kali Yuga is upon us and just like Nature has the inherent wisdom to her cycles, so does Spirit as we are plunged into the dark.   What we can find here at these depths. What is takes in us to find our ways out of the dark. The type of courage and alchemy that we must embody to be willing to go back to this place. Again and again. There is a value and weight to this work that is incomprehensible. It creates a medicine we can carry with us that gives us the greatest liberation, power, freedom, and love we have ever had. It is in the dark that we find this medicine. It is in the dark when we know the power of our own light. It is in the dark that we discover parts of ourselves with stories they are begging to tell and wisdom that they have come to impart. It is in the dark that we learn the depths of our compassion and the power of our own hearts. It is in the dark that we discover our wholeness. Our shadows are simply the parts of us that we have cast away, that we have disowned, run away from, or left unacknowledged. They are no less a part of us than our brilliance, our hearts, our light. But when left unattended to they grow feral and seek ways to come out and disrupt our worlds. The shadow become imbalanced, angry, and looks to make itself known, usually in ways that are to our detriment and cause great discomfort. When we willingly enter into relationship with these parts of ourselves though we can learn how to skillfully work with them and offer our whole selves a type of love that we could never have known before. As we enter into winter, move further into Kali Yuga, and answer the call of the new moon to journey inward we are being called to the path of the heart. When we choose the path of courage and go tend to the deeper darker parts of ourselves, we are meeting and gathering up the wisdom of our wholeness. We learn the medicine of all the parts of us. And as we meet our full selves, as we call out to the pieces of us we have cast away, the sides to us we do not know, we expand and cultivate a deeper capacity to love. When we willing meet our shadow and offer it compassion it no longer has the power to cause harm and instead becomes another part of the whole. The concept of oneness that we are taught through plant medicine, yoga, and other spiritual practices becomes embodied wisdom, sunk deep into our bones, and permeating our whole being. To walk the path of the heart, to answer the call of the sacred feminine, to do the work of being a healer, shaman, medicine woman, leader, teacher, yogi, activist, in this lifetime, to be a voice of the sacred, means finding the willingness and courage to answer this call again and again. To walk this path is to answer The Wild Calling. It means learning how to trust in each season we find ourselves in, to feel the equal value of our shadow and our light and to love everything in between. To hold each part of ourselves tenderly with love and compassion means that we can offer this in a true way to all other living beings. When know not just in our minds, but in our being the sacredness of all of who we are we can pour this out into the world through our actions and being. So while the demand and push that we look into the eyes of the shadow of ourselves and world around us can feel harsh, maybe even cruel at times, there is a liberation of love on the other side that can only be reached through this work. And the taste of this elixir of freedom, the nectar of sacredness and reverence, the sweet honey of l o v e in the highest forms is worth everything along the way. Alchemy is the art of transmutation, the act of changing an objects state, to me this is the power of love. That we can learn to change what we fear into what we love, not just in ourselves, but in the whole world. And we desperately need this medicine right now. For more on how to walk this path and gather this medicine please go here to read the full post or see my work below.

Sacred Tobacco Flower Essence  This summer i made a beautiful essence of sacred tobacco from my garden and clear quartz i gathered from a local quarry. At the time I felt deeply called to make this essence but did not know why. It was clear it was medicine meant to be saved for a later time and date. and tonight as I research and connect to her further, tobacco's flower essence medicine is so clear. Sacred Tobacco connects our hearts and bodies to the earth. She is the marker of gratitude, prayers offered, and deep reverence for the sacredness of the earth. She opens the channel between mind and heart, allowing the heart to be the primary voice of our consciousness. It helps us to break patterns of disconnect and numbing out and instead shows us the gifts of the subtle realms around us. Sacred Tobacco is the medicine of peace and deep connection to the world around us and all who inhabit it. From this place may we always remember that we are all one. $18 for half ounce stock bottle - email info@loveandalchemyshop.com to order

New Moon in Sagittarius

Truth. Adventure. Freedom. Keep these from a Sagittarius and she will be tormented. Let her gallop through the forests of life, with her head in the heavens and her hooves firmly rooted in the earth, and she will be devoted to you for all eternity. She is the wildest, kindest, most generous and fun natural leader you ever encountered. You cannot keep Sagittarius caged. You cannot stifle her. She started the fucking party. She is the founder of the deep and meaningful philosophical debates that start at 4 in the morning and go on for decades. She is FIRE. Strong willed. Ferociously adventurous. Yet pretty easy going and light hearted too. An insatiable relentlessness to explore the planet and know the finest intricacies of the cosmos. Intelligent. Smart. Passionate. If she loves you, you're onto a winner. Loving, gregarious, sociable, humorous and reliable. If you're in her circle, she won't let you down. But she's got opinions, and she'll let you know them. She don't stand for no shit - she's fiesty, and she'll tell you what she thinks... Image from Mystic Mamma This new moon, as you channel your inner centaur-archer, ask yourself "where am I forcing myself to fit into human shaped trousers when i've got 4 horse legs?" In other words: where are you blocking your own quest for adventure? where are you denying yourself the freedom to explore and love and grow and live? where do you stifle your own vision of truth? and how can you change that? If you're turning in circles feeling caged, muzzled, bored, apathetic, lonely, dried up and fed up then it could be time to get naked at the forest and make love to the wild free spirit at your core (literally, or metaphorically - whatever tickles your fancy). Reawaken Her - your TRUTH. And when you've put your clothes back on, follow Her, and go, wherever She tells you to go next. Then bravely go there, with no holds barred. Until next time, sending heaps of moon love and fairy dust your way, Keeley xx  P.S. And if you are actually ready to reawaken your wild unabashed truth and free spirit and magic and femme beauty and sexiness and gorgeousness and shower yourself with unconditional self-love and amazing sisterhood and loads and loads of general goodness then stay tuned to find our more about my brand new masterclass series coming out very soon (it's called IAMGODDESS and it's going to be frikin amazing!)
