At this time of Halloween, Samhain, the blue moon in Taurus (second full moon of the month), Day of the Dead and All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days – not to mention the election in the US – Raven comes to bring us this Blue Moon Oracle Message.

Read on below, or listen here (6 mins):

Raven watches us with a gleam in his eye. The mischievous trickster is one of his aspects. It is, however, the trickster bringing necessary laughter. The trickster who helps tear down so that the new may be brought in.

Raven also brings magic and change, inner illumination, higher perspective, and messages from Spirit.

Raven looks black, but in the light, his feathers hold many colors of the rainbow. Raven reminds us that when things seem darkest, all those colors are there. Remember to see them.

As we are now in this liminal space at the threshold of great change, what messages do you bring for us, Raven?

Raven replied:

Free your voices to speak the language of change as full of wonderful promise. Humans forget that change is necessary, always happening, and always needed.

Do not fear the changes. Ride the changes as I ride the winds. Accept, allow and align with change.

Staying the same is death.

Move, dance, sing, speak in the voice of loving change. Change is life renewing.

Breathe in loving change. Breathe out and release what needs to go. Release those things whose time is done – beliefs, stories, hatreds, habits and more. Things that don’t serve.

Breathe more and more deeply. (Pause and breathe!)

What if this change is just what is needed? What if you don’t actually know what is needed?

Shift directions easily. Be more flexible. Be more loving and kind. To yourself and to others, and to nature.

Pay attention to the winds. The winds of change. The messages in the winds. The gifts of the winds. Movement. Updrafts. Downdrafts. Spirals. Whirls. Whorls. Play with the winds. Play with the winds in mind.

How would you play with the winds? What would playing with the winds in mind look like for you?

More play. More breath and deeper breath. More singing and dancing. More releasing.

This alignment of moon and stars and sun is a time for breaking free, for releasing. For letting go.

Bring your deep, dark fears up from the depths and honor them. See the colors in them, just like my feathers. They appear black yet they are full of colors. Honor them and love them, because they are part of you. Honor and love yourself fully. This means honoring and loving your deep, dark fears – your deepest shadow selves.

Bringing them up, seeing their colors, loving and honoring them is the way forward. Is a part of the essential change now. This is how we break free.

When you honor and love fears and shadow, they no longer drive you unconsciously.

Dance, sing and play with your fears and shadow selves, too – just as you dance, sing and play with change and with the winds.

The movement of your body and voice and emotions are all essential for the change to come through. The movement!

And, Trickster reminds you, you will change only to change again. Do not seek to hold fast to THIS change. There is always a next one!

Stasis is death. Change is life.

What do you choose today?

The Liminal Space is the space between. The threshold. The place of possibilities.

Our culture, and many of us, are in the liminal space right now.

I am personally in the liminal space big time, with some decisions to make about what is next for me personally and professionally.

We have to let go of the old ideas, constructs, habits, stories – that are holding us back.

Uncomfortable as it is, the liminal space is necessary. So, let’s make friends with it.

As I tuned in for this month’s Full Moon Oracle Message, I heard that what we all need in these intense times is more grounding and discharging of energies that don’t serve.

Here is a Grounding & Healing Meditation and Tuning for you. (I used weighted tuning forks throughout the meditation, and the light slapping sounds you sometimes hear are me activating the forks on the heel of my hand.)

The image above will help you visualize the tube torus of your biofield that I talk about in the meditation.

Take 25 minutes and give yourself this healing meditation.

Blessings –

I begin with an astrology reading. The Oracle transmission follows, with many suggestions for us on the topic of how to discern what to believe.

We had the blessing of receiving a reading from my student and friend, and Master Astrologer Lee Horowitz, at our monthly women’s circle meeting on Friday. It was powerful, so I’m going to give you a bit of a distillation of it.

This is the Full Moon in Aquarius, the Sun in Leo.

This is a year of shocks, of deconstruction, of breakdowns. The whole decade is one of deconstruction, but this year is one with the biggest shocks.

Read on below, or listen here:

Mars is in Aries, which is making people very reactive right now. I’m definitely noticing this, aren’t you?

Mars also is linking to Chiron, the healer. The best use of Mars and Chiron is healing of the Masculine right now. What does the unhealed masculine look like? How does it become the healed warrior? The hero?

And the appearance of the comet Neowise is showing us the completion of the cycle of patriarchy. (This Lee got from Pam Gregory.)

We have a call to courage, to show up. To be heroic.

There is a lot of good new stuff coming in. We have to look for it, and FEEL for it. Because operating on the mental level is crazy-making right now.

I’m definitely feeling that.

Uranus in Taurus gives us the opportunity for breakthroughs and leaps in our own evolution.

And remember that we are global citizens working in concert with others.

Leo is creativity, love, and allowing for new creation in our life. Something new coming over the horizon.

In these times, this can be abrupt and sudden. Things can change in an instant. We can have a lot of eruptions, intense, charged energy and nobody wanting to budge.

WE have to let go. Letting go is the remedy of this time.

There is a lot of intensity, frustration, squares in the chart. There is tremendous fire power this month.

With that fire, we can get hurt physically, have accidents, hurt others – or harness the energy for inner change.

The movement is in. Work through, love what we can, release what we can, and begin anew.

My deep appreciation and thanks to Lee Horowitz for that reading.

For the Oracle Message, I asked my guides: In these intense times, with so much chaotic energy around us, and so much information flying at us that is incorrect, or skewed, or outright lies, how do we discern what to believe?

The Andromedans came in, and said:

And so, you are indeed faced with great difficulties here. The human mind has many limitations. Your minds love to confirm what you think you already know. You call this confirmation bias.

And many who claim to be thinking in “higher consciousness” are not. Who claim to know and speak “the truth” do not.

We have told you before, any time you believe you KNOW THE TRUTH, you do not.

There is always more to learn and understand. There are always ways that you blind yourselves.

The only place of “truth” is accepting that you do not, and probably never will, know the whole truth.

That each “truth” is a stepping stone, a stair on a never-ending staircase. Each leads to another, and another, and another.

The place to be in is the place of unknowing. The place of allowing the unknowing.

We offer you many questions you can ask in looking for what to believe.

Ask, Is this of Love? Does this move us into greater connection? Does this help us be kinder and more compassionate? Who benefits from this? Is this for the greater good?

Ask, Why do I WANT to believe this? Does this hook in to my trauma, my confirmation bias? To ask this, you have to be willing to look at the unacknowledged parts of yourself. To open your subconscious and become aware of what the belief is hooking into.

Ask, am I serving wounds, or serving healings?

And, as we have said before, thinking that only things that are “higher” are “good” and that things that are “lower” are “bad or negative” does not serve you. That is NOT truth. This thinking can make you avoid your own subconscious, and refuse to recognize your own shadows, your own inner worlds.

The greater good includes light & shadow, day & night, joy & sorrow, laughter & anger, waking & sleeping, high & low frequencies/vibrations. When you allow only what you think of as “light” and “high” you submerge valuable aspects of your humanity and your divinity. This makes you more susceptible to manipulation.

The unhelpful ideas and beliefs have a certain kind of energy signature. They are more jagged, spiky energies. They produce a lot of static in the signal. This may fool you into thinking they are “high vibrational” – especially when you hold those beliefs. But they are subtly dissonant and out of phase.

What you do not want to look at in yourself will get hooked into by false theories and beliefs that do not serve. Your inner dissonances will resonate with the dissonance of the false and divisive beliefs.

You must expand your perceptions, not narrow them. You must become more energetically discerning of the subtle distinctions in the energies of stories, ideas, beliefs, that are not for the greater good.

Ask, how does this energy feel in my body? And then realize that the human body will produce chemicals that feel good even from these false beliefs. So, you cannot rely only on your “gut.” You must be even more discerning with your inner messages and your intuition.

You must develop finer sensitivity to the energies of coherence, of wholeness, of alignment with higher and deeper understandings.

Is this aligned with the energies of creation? Is this harmonious? Or dissonant?

Ask, does this open doors to greater wholeness, connection, partnership? Or does it close doors?

Is this expansive? Or contractive?

Does this promote division or inter-connectedness? If this promotes division, who benefits from that?

Humans also have a herd mentality, a tendency to believe what others believe in your community. You must also be willing to ask these questions of others.

You have the internets now, which spread division and hatred at great speed. These dissonant, chaotic energies thrive on the internets. You must be wary. You must always question. You must be very careful on the internets.

You must not leave the internets open all the time, because you are susceptible to these energies all the time then. You must close your web browsers, your social media, your email, etc.

There are many and many humans promoting division and strife and distrust on the internets for money and influence. For political gain. To destroy connection, to destroy the movement toward unity and greater compassion. To silence the voices of partnership, of partnerism. To maintain the dominator culture.

You must also remember that humans have been spectacularly wrong many times in your history. The Earth is flat. The Sun travels around the Earth. The Inquisition. Your Senator McCarthy from the US and his inquisition. The beliefs your wars have been based on. Humans are the only important life form on Earth. Animals have no intelligence. Plants have no consciousness.

This is a VERY short list of all the spectacularly wrong beliefs humans have taken on. You have been wrong more than you have been right, as a species. Remember this.

Again, we remind you, anytime you believe you KNOW, you do not.

Decide to be in the unknowing place. The place of possibilities.

This does not mean to be inactive. To do nothing.

It simply means to be in the place of continual questioning, of continual growth, of welcoming new understandings, of asking and asking for wider and deeper perspectives that lead to the next stair of truths. And the next. And the next.

And we send you much love, dear humans. We send you our love. We are here to support you. We know you are learning and growing, most of the time, as best you can.

We send you our love.

And we send you our love.

At this Strawberry Full Moon of June, 2020, I am asking for guidance in these times of disruption, anger, outrage, grief, as we call for change here in the United States and around the world.

{There is still time to join us for The Wise Woman Immersion small group program. We’ve only just begun. You can easily catch up.}

I am asking for the guidance of the trees, especially Great Grandmother Anna-Issiwa, the tree in the photo above. That’s ONE tree, not two. She has a burn scar that is behind me.

What message do you have for us?

Read on below, or listen here. (5 mins)

Great Grandmother said:

Time is not as you think. It is not linear. The flows of rivers, of tides, of winds, of ocean currents, of electro-magnetic fields, of lightning – this is more what time is like. Flowing around the rocks in the streams. Eddying in places. Flowing in, then out again. Flowing swiftly. Raging. Flowing slowly. Stopping. Flowing this way, then that way.

So, though there is urgency for you humans now, yet you must also flow, this way and that. Swiftly, and slowly. Eddy. Stop. Flow around obstacles.

Breathe. Breath is also flow.

Let go of time as you see it. As you think of it.

What happens when you are outside of time? Step outside of the river, and watch it flow. Take a higher perspective, as the eagles do. As I do from my upper branches.

Take a deeper perspective, as I do from my roots.

Roots of change have been growing underground out of your sight, your immediate awareness. Yet you are seeing the results in the strength of your protests, in the greater unity you are experiencing, in the willingness of more of you to speak up and speak out for unity, for healing, for what you call justice.

The roots you have been growing for many years have allowed this to be happening now.

Nourish the roots that feed the tree of change and help it grow. Continue to nourish these roots.

Drop your awareness into Earth, into these roots, and you also step outside of time. Your connection to Earth is essential for this change to continue to grow.

You tend to pay attention to the tree trunk and branches. These are only there because they are balanced by, and fed by, the roots underground.

Underground there are also flows of waters, flows of magma, flows of earth. Flows of electricity.

Flow is time.

What are you feeding into the flow? How are you feeding the roots of your tree of change? How are you nourishing yourself? How are you nourishing each other? How are you feeding your own roots? How are you breathing?

Connect with us, with the trees. We are helping you create this change. We are with you. We help you breathe. We help you ground. We help extend the energies of unity, the messages of love and connection, around the planet.

We hold energies of healing. We offer these to you. We are strong. We offer you strength. We reach deep into Earth, and high into the skies. We offer you this balancing.

In all the maelstrom that is now, you need us.

Call on us. We are here.

Thank you, Great Grandmother! – Ariana
