Sacred Medicine

“Everything is medicine.
And so are you.
There is a spirit of deep wisdom buried within you that holds the power to heal this brokenness.
You can change your name, you can change your story, but only your medicine can change what is inside of you.

Find your medicine, and it will call back all the broken pieces that you’ve convinced yourself you’d forgotten. Find your medicine, and you will have begun the journey to returning whole; of becoming yourself.
This is not an easy path.
The way is overgrown with the weeds of your forgotten self, seeded by the depths of your subconscious fears and watered by unshed tears. The road runs in spirals, through swamps and dark places. It is crumbling and broken, and sometimes disappears entirely. But your spirit knows the way. Your medicine marks the path, if you have the eyes to look. And when you trust it, when you follow it to the inner-most reaches of your soul, that is where you will find your SELF.

Many people will not understand your journey.
They can not.
For it is not theirs to walk.
Their path may cross yours at times, run alongside yours for great distances, and may even look remarkably similar.
Yet, still, they can never step off their path to experience yours.
And it is the experience that grants understanding.
Some will encourage and support you.
This is good.
Keep these people close so that you may honour their medicine, as it compliments your own.
Other people will not.
Many will disparage you, abandon you, hurt you.
That is ok.

Remember that they are broken and hurting, lacking the eyes to see their own medicine, much less to understand yours.

Do not let this discourage you.
Do not be encouraged to forsake your medicine.

For there is a sacredness in you that only you possess.
You are a medicine not meant for everyone to understand.
If your medicine is not for those people.
Bless them, and send them on their way to find that which is.
Do not allow yourself to become bitter, for it poisons the soul and sours the medicine.
And do not be tempted to give them a taste of their own medicine.
They will believe you have poisoned them.
To those people, the medicine has become so foreign that they cannot recognize it for what it is.
The bitterness is too harsh.
And the sadness and longing it brings, too much to bare.
So don’t give them a taste of their own medicine.
Give them a taste of yours.
If they have lied, let your medicine be honesty. If they have hurt, let your medicine heal. If they are cruel, let your medicine be compassion.
If they are angry, let your medicine be serenity.
If they are bitter, let your medicine be empathy.
If they are anxious, let your medicine be peace.
If they are irritable, let your medicine be patience.
If they are jaded, let your medicine be sincerity.
Whatever others may be, choose to allow your medicine to move in a balance and alignment.

For when you embrace your medicine you not only heal yourself, you become the healing that is needed in the world around you. Not in some grand, abstract, universal way.

But in the immediate, tangible world around you, through the people you meet every day.
You ARE medicine.
It IS you.
Not just a part of you; ALL of you.
It is the core of your essence.
Once you realize this, everything becomes possible.
So don’t settle for just living your life. Open your soul to the world, and live your medicine.
Only then will you fulfill your highest potential; your true divine purpose.”

Lost Daughter

“As a proponent of women’s liberation and the practice of our Mysteries, I seek to develop an identity that is whole, yet wholly female. . . . 
One of the ancient meanings of the five-pointed star is our own human form with head and four limbs. We are five-pointed stars or mini-universes (or goddesses) each containing within us the Air of our thoughts, the Fire of our actions, the Water of our emotions, the Earth of our bodies, and the Spirit of our psychic abilities and souls. 
A good exercise consists of taking the star position (either standing or lying down) with arms outstretched to either side, and legs apart. Imagine yourself whole and flowing through all the qualities that each point of the star represents. Thus we can begin to undo the restrictions imposed by socialized gender roles and affirm our potential in all areas. . . . 
We need our darkness, our dreams, our sensitivity, our compassion urgently, for these are some of the lost aspects of ourselves, and of our magic. But we also need to be strong, independent, and free. With the Star it becomes easier to reclaim them all in our own image. In such a universe, both women and men can be free to be whatever they are naturally inclined to be, without guilt or false pride.”

Grandmother’s Message

“Grandmothers’ Message”Through Sharon

McErlane


“You have labored hard and long to stay the course during these difficult times,” the Grandmothers said. “You have been stalwart,” they declared, “and we are here today to tell you that your work has borne fruit. There is a piercing radiance in the Net of Light now. It is brilliant, playful, and more electric! Your commitment, your steadfastness at the wheel of life has paid off. The Net of Light has grown in power and reach.  “You’ve been concentrating so fully on staying connected to the Net, that you may not be aware of the increase in light that’s now covering and surrounding you. Take a moment and look up,” they said, pointing to the sky. “Look up, open within yourself to the Net of Light and receive as its effulgence pours all over you. Sit within this downpour and let luminescence bathe you. Feel the light and breathe it in. Revel in its sparkling brilliance. It’s penetrating your skin,” they exclaimed, “your mind, your thoughts, and your heart. Receive,” the Grandmothers said. “Take it in. Bathe in the light.  “You have earned this,” they said as they looked me up and down, “you have helped create it. So, breathe it in deeply now. Relax as you take the light in and let its sparkling presence sink into your cell beds, flow into your memory, into your muscles, breath and blood. It is pure happiness that is infusing you now. Happiness,” they repeated. “And this happiness is yours.  “The world will continue with its shaking and quaking,” they said, shrugging as if to say, ‘so what?’ “The Earth will be dislodging blockages of every kind now, discharging all sorts of evil. You will be aware as this takes place and at the same time, you’ll be aware of the lighted one that you are. Dark is rising up in order to be transmuted and as this happens, light is infusing the very core of your being.  “Each time you open to and feel the radiance of the Net of Light within yourself, you bless the world. By aligning yourself with light, you give light a place to live. You call it home to you and you hold it steady. When you do this, you help Mother Earth discharge the ancient mindsets and attitudes that have polluted Her for so long. You ally yourself with light and with Her, and your sparkling brilliance brings joy to your Mother. So, we ask you now to let go of all worry, all fear, and simply allow yourself to glow. Allow yourself to take your place as the radiant one that you are.  “We are with you,” the Grandmothers said, “so shine, Precious Light, shine!”

Watch “Martin Luther King – Inspirational Speech {Be Phenomenal Motivation}” on YouTube

My ears have heard , “what else do you want?

“We” gave Negroes and Women the right to vote ,

what else do you want?

Seated at a table top with women of color in an Asian

Restaurant, I of course over heard their conversation

of injustice …I said , I married upper middle class

who targeted me , drugged by a ” brother” psychiatrist

into surrender that allowed his destruction of home,

children , all that stood in his way of being ” happy” .

His “brothers” have supported his abuses, also targeting

me..Discrimination was constant in the shadow of his

superior family , as he took income and social security

becoming the sirvior, of a crazy wife who nearly ruined

him.

That discrimination shows up as I pro se due to lack

of educated officers of the court unaware or in support

that stand in solidarity of distortion that has no place

on any level on New Earth .

New World Order damned them selves , no God no sin

denies Universal Law ..

I have cried during several of these tributes to a

visionary who was human ..who left a legacy that defies

gender or color to Do Right …

Whose murder left much trauma, ignored .

Blessings & Peace

Release & Rise

Stop blaming yourself for what happened
It wasn’t your fault
Sometimes bad things just happen
To good hearts
To good people
For reasons we can’t explain
And maybe we will never understand

I won’t insult you by calling it God’s will
Or saying it’s part of the divine plan
It’s not my place
But here’s what I know
You were never meant to carry this pain in your heart
And wear it on your beautiful face

Sometimes hearts get broken
Dreams get stolen
But babe, you are so far from broken

It isn’t your fault
Take a deep breath
Release the guilt
The blame
The shame

You’re more than what happened – what you’ve been through
This pain you’re clinging onto
and taking everywhere with you
It’s eating away at your soul
You deserve so much more than this my dear

You’ve survived
And now it’s time for you to thrive
This isn’t your whole story
It was just a painful chapter
It’s time to move on to the next one

So let it all go
It’s so heavy my love
Lay it down
Release every tear

A brighter future is on the horizon
You’re not alone
The angels are always near
And if you need me, I’ll be here
