It was late October. Do you remember that crazy
warm day we had? Well, yes that day!
We were a small group of brothers and sisters
gathered for an important ceremony...a land offering for healing.

As I was preparing the space with smoke, laying out all the
blankets, organizing the items for the offer, this little lady bumblebee came to personally say hi to me.

She first landed on my hand. She explored my fingers, my palm, my knuckles her
touch was so soft and her presence stopped me in my busyness as if to say
I see you, I feel you and I'm so happy that you are here. The bumblebee
made me feel appreciated, special and most of all loved and nurtured. Her caress
and gentleness will be a gift that will be imprinted on my heart forever.

She remained with us during the whole ceremony. She was either on my hand, my knee or resting on my medicines. And once the offering was laid out, she joyously drank and ate some of the water, sugar and rose petals that were part of the gift to Mother Earth.

To each soul sister and brother she represented something different. For one she was symbolic of the Divine Feminine, for others it was community, productivity, and brightness. Her message came to us on many levels and we embraced them all.

As we were wrapping up the ceremony she seemed to have disappeared. It was special to have seen her at all for it had been very cold in the prior days and all the bees were already hibernating.

That evening, at home I came into the back entrance to check on my dog and there on the floor was our lady bumblebee. It appeared she had traveled home with me without my knowing. Unfortunately, she did not survive her journey with me. I felt so much sadness for the loss of her life. I gently picked her up and gave her back to Mother Earth with a song of sorrow and a song of joy. For she truly brought so much to us during our special ceremony for the Earth.

Aho!

I was reflecting on the season of Fall the other day.
This little gem had something to share with all of you.

Hope you enjoy!

"My beginnings surface from darkness,
My un-manifested Self
makes my way to an opening.

I emerge just like a butterfly from it's chrysalis stage.

My colors are vibrant & green,
My skin is shiny,
My spine is strong,
My veins are flowing with life.

I gently follow the sun,
I open myself to receive thousands of light codes.

In the gentle night I reflect in the moonlight.

I adorn my master day after day,

Come Fall I display the magic of transformation.
My performance is breath taking,
I release a scent that is uniquely mine,
And my colors...
change from green to yellow, orange, red & brown.

Although, my time is nearing the end to most who perceive
my detachment as death,

I'm here to tell you a different story.
The secret is that this end is only the beginning!

For I fall to the Great Mother Earth
and cover her for the first snow to come.

My decomposition nurtures many of my relations
of microbes, organisms and worms alike.

The Great Mother & I, through this season
co-create. We are manifesting the essence of my new
life through matter & darkness once again.

For what? To emerge in a higher frequency, a higher version
of mySelf in the spring!

What am I?

I am a leaf not separate from who you are!"


Aho!

There is no denying it summer is on it's way out.
Are you feeling a little melancholy?
Perhaps it's a kind of grief.

The nights are getting much cooler.
The trees are loosing their leaves, and changing color.
We are getting ourselves back into routine, and
fall activities.

The FREE spirit of summer is quickly diminishing.

Personally I LOVE the fall!

I don't do well in the heat of the summer.
My senses are tickled by the array of colors and the smells.
The squirrels keep me amused as they hide their acorns all over the yard.
And I feel a sense of need to retreat and fill up my reserves.
I find myself planning for winter...freezing veggies from the garden.
Pondering on what kind of soups will nourish my soul this upcoming
season.

A gentle reminder that our bodies (body, mind & spirit)
need time to adjust
to the upcoming season.
Give yourself compassion, and
patience as you transition into the new cycle.

Aho!

Does 2 Moons get your attention?
How about we start with Two Moons?

On the 17th of November I stepped outside at 6:13 AM to let the cats out ( I have them trained like dogs ) and as I faced the Westward direction the Full Moon was just starting to loose her fullness in the sky, but she was bright, so bright I needed sun glasses to look at her.

There is one thing I know is "energy". I've been studying it all my life and worked with it for the last 30 years. Now as absorb the energy of this moon, I keep noticing that her energy is not the same. She feels more invasive, difficult to gaze at, more masculine in nature. I've noticed this shift since the Moon in August, 2024.

On the same day at 8:35 AM I stepped outside to go for a walk. I looked up in the sky and I saw the moon again, she was looking at me from the South not far away from the Sun.

I took a deep gasp and thought how is that possible? If the moon rises from the East to the South, to the West and then disappears how can it be in the South, when I saw it 2 hours earlier in the West?

I must of looked up at it 10 x before continuing my walk. When I gazed at her she was almost at her half size and she felt more feminine in nature, more soothing, and gentle.

Our reality is an illusion. I get that to a certain level.
I get that we live in a matrix.
I get that we are programmed and conditioned to believe certain things.

In a way I am relieved that our beautiful nurturing, soma energy moon has not disappeared forever. I take comfort in knowing she still exists.

This other moon though, WTF is that?

When I came back from my walk the moon in the South was no longer visible to my naked eye on a clear blue sky day.
She just vanished as quickly as she appeared.

Anyone else notice the differences in the moon or seen two of them?

Guess what? According to an article that was written in Belles & Gals there was indeed a 2nd moon and I'm not loosing my mind:

"In a stunning new discovery, Earth has gained what can be described as a second moon, albeit a temporary one. Astronomers from the Complutense University of Madrid, using a powerful telescope located in Sutherland, South Africa, identified an asteroid named 2024 PT5 that is now in orbit around our planet. The asteroid, only about 11 meters in diameter, was first spotted in August 2024 and has quickly sparked the interest of scientists worldwide." Read more about it here.

Aho!
