Echoside: Phoenix Rose

When I say "collective" I am referring to the collective consciousness of this Earth, perhaps even the entire Universe.  I have seen it work through many people that have no awareness of the other person.  Think of it in terms like this, how two people on opposite ends of the earth can come up with very similar ideas and inventions, even before the internet this phenomenon was happening. There was a lot of synchronicity last week for Root / Base chakra energy and healing.  I decided to run a workshop with some close friends.  It turns out many of them had the same thoughts on the chakra work, then it started popping up that others were running similar workshops!  It's really amazing when you think about it. This week we are running Sacral chakra energy and healing.  The theme comes again, running through many different channels.  People working on masculine/feminine energies, someone randomly deciding to paint a wall orange.  People are gettin...

How can you do a tarot reading when you are not face-to-face with the person? I, and many other readers, get that question often.  I have provided tarot readings in person, through my Facebook page and email .  I have read for a querent when they couldn't be live in the chat.  It all remains very accurate.  Receiving digital readings have become quite common place.  Heck, if you wanted to get an old time feel, I will mail you hand written reading. >_<  heehee Some still wonder how....  If their energy isn't there, how can the reading be done?  Don't they need to shuffle the cards?  No.  The querent does not need to shuffle the cards.  I know many readers who don't allow anyone to touch their cards.  As someone who has done it both ways, I prefer to just shuffle the cards myself. Energy.  Energy is all around.  Essentially we are all connected by tiny molecules.  The esoteric and scientific communitie...

During a channeling session last week, which was not intended, and had quite an interesting outcome, the nursery rhyme of She Sells Sea Shells by the Seashore has been on my mind ever since.  The message, though not intended for me, is still applicable. Yesterday, despite the chilliness of the day, the boys and I went down to the waterfront with the intention of collecting driftwood for some projects my husband is working on.  I didn't expect to collect much for myself, until seeing that all the "rocks" and "sand" were actually shells.  My heart warmed me to the core, and I should have expected as much.  With the weather very similar to the northern shore of Northern Ireland's coast where the Giant's Causeway lays, the shoreline here was eerily similar: shells.  No sand, just shells. Everywhere, all along where the water met land, shells, all sizes, and two distinct shapes on this shoreline of Lake Ontario. The seagulls and other birds, must have a f...

I have been on and off my spiritual path over the years.  Some ears I have taken more seriously than others.  Other times I figured, what's the point, and I'd just stick to the daily grind of humanness.  When I began this blog in 2015, I was reawakening my spirituality, and wanted to record it.  However, when I decided I was going to answer the question "what is magic" I began a ride that I cannot put half of it into words to describe the magic that I have seen, and even if I did, many wouldn't believe it. If I had to choose a movie title to describe the past year, Fast and Furious comes to mind.  Highs and lows like you wouldn't believe....  Or maybe you would.  I know I am not alone in this.  I know this now. There has been a whirlwind of changes, shifts, upgrades.  This time of year, getting closer to Halloween the veil is said to thin and be at it's thinnest on the night of All Hollows Eve.  On top of that, the collective veil is...

#XIXTheSun happy, harmony, love, energy, personal growth, vitality, confidence, success Hanson-Roberts, Essential Tarot (1984) Always a good card to get in a reading.  The imagery on the card is one of happiness, joy, growth.  A warm, sunny day signifying the bright, solar energy.  The naked baby on the white horse signifying innocence and joy.   Change is indicated in this card, but it is always a positive change.  Usually in regards to family matters.  It heralds a message of a celebration (pregnancy, engagement, wedding) or a welcomed new beginning. The Sun is a divine masculine, creative energy.   Affirmation: "I welcome all new opportunities.  Now it is my time to welcome happiness and harmony into my life." Much Love ~Phoenix Rose~

#XXJudgement self-reflection, breakthrough, transformation, faith, maturing, transition Hanson-Roberts, Essential Tarot (1984) Judgement comes at times not to judge you, but to free you. Have you been feeling judged?  Well, you have a more important journey to worry about that. Time to let go.   The journey of the Judgement card can be stressful, a struggle, and frustration, however the outcome will be one of huge relief and well worth it. This signifies the end of an old way of life.  The Universe has plans for us and it's time to make decisions in going forward. Affirmation: "I am optimistic about my future.  This is the time for me to who I want to be." Much Love ~Phoenix Rose~

#XiiiDeath renewal, rebirth, transformation, end of a phase and beginning of a new cycle. Hanson-Roberts, Essential Tarot (1984) Despite the ominous feelings, and stigma with receiving a Death card in tarot, this is actually a very good card to receive.  Especially if you have been going through an emotionally traumatic time.  It is showing an end to that phase and cycle.  If you are going through a particularly positive time it doesn't necessarily mean the good times will come to an end, even though this life is cyclical and based on a balance ebbing and flowing.   Very rarely this denotes a physical death, even in times of illness, it may point to a death of the illness itself.  A specific combination of cards would need to happen to point to physical death.  Personally, this card is coming at a precarious time for myself.  Things are definitely changing and it's for better or worse.  I am comforted that thi...
