Amulet of the Day – Sheela-na-gig

Honouring Choices

Honouring Choices

The Sheela-na-gig, and images like her have been found in the British Isles, Greece, India, and Japan. This one in particular is a carving which forms one of the corbel supports for the Church of St Mary and St David in Kilpeck, Hertfordshire, England.The earliest parts of this church date back to the Saxon period.

It has been speculated that many European churches were built upon earlier Pagan temple sites and that images such as this were included in the architecture as a way of incorporating the earlier belief systems and drawing in the pre-Christian worshippers.

In most of Celtic Britain the Sheela images were placed above church doorways. At present there are over 70 known Sheelas in Ireland and 23 in Great Britain.

When you make choices for yourself, you set yourself on a profound road of becoming and knowing who you are. The Sheela-na-gig appears to tell you to honor those choices you have regarding the issue at hand. In all decisions, there are always choices. Even in not making a decision, a decision has been made.

Make a list of your choices in the matter. Write them down. Examine them. Get to know what they are. These are your opportunities.

Ask yourself:

Which choices are essential and appropriate to where you are now and where you want to go?

Which choices address the question you are asking?

Which choices can be postponed or negotiated, and which cannot?

And ultimately, which choice is a reflection of my truth?

The path to wholeness is always being built. You are choosing and creating your life path with every step you take.

The Sheela-na-gig also reminds you that in every choice there is a state of ambiguity just before the decision is made. Learn to stand comfortably in that state – it will help you to not rush in making decisions. Only then, can your decisions come from your heart and with your best interests in mind.

Amulet of the Day – Frog

Speaking Out

Speaking out

This stylised image of a frog was painted on the side of a Cretan amphora which is about 2,000 years old. Frogs were considered sacred to Hekit, the Egyptian “midwife of the Gods”. In many places toads are also considered to be the familiar of witches.

The Frog amulet tells you that it is time to speak up, speak out, and let your voice be heard. You’ve kept silent for long enough.

Don’t hold back. Let the energy of your voice bring about a needed transformation in your world.

Amulet reading of the week – 26 June

How can we best help to heal the earth?

I was focusing on the Gulf Oil Spill and asking of what we can do as a people to help the Earth in healing.

Amulets drawn:

Willendorf Goddess

Belonging

Willendorf Goddess – Belonging

Gorgon Goddess – Transforming Anger; Reclaiming Power

Triple Spiral – Barriers, Boundaries, and Possibilities

Nile River Goddess – Strength, Triumph, Success

Hand with Seeds – Accepting Responsibility

Gorgon Goddess

Transforming anger, reclaiming power

The Willendorf Goddess amulet reminds us of our connection to the Earth. Many people are feeling anger about the Gulf oil spill. This anger needs to be harnessed and focused to create change as at the moment it is being fired off in all directions and has been directed at the wrong places.  The best way to focus that energy is by identifying what the barriers are to creating healing, looking wt what we can and cannot do, and what will need to be left to Mother Nature to sort out, and making

Barriers, boundaries, and possibilities

plans based upon what we can do as individuals and within a group.Then doing it!

If we can do this, the Earth will be able to successfully recover.

And a final gentle reminder that we already have the tools we need in

hand, and we need to accept responsibility for our part in the creation of this disaster.

Accepting Responsibility

Amulet of the Day – Nightstar

Fulfillment

The Nightstar comes from a Minoan seal and is approximately 4,000 years old.

The stars in the night sky have for many ages held a fascination for those looking up into them. This is the realm of the Gods.

When you receive the Nightstar amulet in a reading it is telling you to rejoice in personal fulfilment. Dream can come true, so make your wishes, whether through prayer or other rituals. Know the power behind your words.

The energies of the universe are at your command.

Amulet of the Day – Gorgon Goddess

Transforming Anger; Reclaiming Power

The most recognised Gordon is the Greek Medusa, slain by Perseus. She was the frightful hag with snakes for hair who could turn men to stone with a look. Aspects of Her can also be seen in the Hindu Kali.

This particular image is of a Gorgon mask found at the Temple of Artemis on Corfu. It is about 2,600 years old.

The Gorgon sits on the Council of Elders to tell you that it’s time to allow yourself to feel anger and rage. More than that though, she is telling you to look closely at how you Dance with Anger.

Are you hiding your anger? Are you masking it away? Are you denying your instinctual gut feelings?

It is time to reclaim your power. Time to use your anger to reshape your life instead of allowing it to use you.

The first step is allowing yourself to physically feel anger. Identifying how it physically feels when it first appears. This is not a time for intellectual analysis. When you find yourself becoming angry, stop and breathe into the places where you feel the anger growing. Allow yourself to just be in your body and let your energies and your breath flow with the anger.

When you are fully within your body you will be able to manage your anger wisely, instead of lashing out. You will be able to tackle the cause of your anger more effectively.You will be able to reclaim your power instead of giving it away.
