TALISMAMA Crystal Creator Subscription Box - May

This subscription box can be purchased HERE.

Here comes the SUN!

The longest day of the year is upon us - on June 21st. So this box is comprised with elements to inspire your celebration of this High Holiday! What does the longest day of the year represent to you? How does life change in the summer? Does your relationship to mundane activities change? Do you take a holiday? Do you travel? See more friends? Do you have more fun? More sex? Do you participate in more self-care? Spend more time in nature? Do you loose or let go of anything that you carried through the winter months? These are great questions to answer for yourself to come into mindfulness about the Summer Solstice and how it effects your life. 

Since January you've been focussing on your goals in a wide variety of areas in your life. 

Where are things now? Take a moment to write down the accomplishments of your last 6 months. Can you absorb and celebrate your achievements? Look back at your Law of Attraction planner and see how your growth unfolded day-by-day and month-by-month.

For a really in-depth plunge into the meaning and energy of the Summer Solstice I highly suggest reading this great article by Mystic Mamma: http://www.mysticmamma.com/summer-solstice-meaning-and-spiritual-significance-june-20th-2012/

Solstice ritual:

(Tools needed: Pen, Fig Leaf, Hemp Oil, Rose and Sunstone Rejoice Blessed Candle, Oak Barrel Incense, cauldron or ceramic bowl, Crystal Grid with Sunstones and Rose Quartz, LOA Planner, Glitter)

1. Take a moment (preferably outside) to light your REJOICE candle and burn your Oak Barrel Cider incense. 
2. Take 2 squirts of Hemp Oil and close your eyes and spend time sitting with the feelings that arise when you think about the last 6 months. 
3. Think about your loved ones. How do you provide support and love for them? 
4. Think about your career. How do you bring your life's mission into the work that you do each day? 
5. Think about your body. How do you relish and honor the beautiful, amazing vessel your soul inhabits? 
6. Think about the planet. How do you connect with nature? How do you shine love out into the world? 
7. Think about the cosmos. How do you make sense of the unknown? 
8. Think about the dead. How do you stay in contact with those who have passed on? 
9. Think about the living. Consider the miracle that it is to be alive. 
10. Now open your eyes and write down your achievements since January onto your Fig Leaf. 
11. Read each achievement aloud to yourself and after ever achievement thank yourself and thank the universe.
12. Bring the Fig Leaf to your heart and thank your highest self. Be grateful for your amazing life.
13. Leave your Fig Leaf out in the sun to communicate your achievements to the cosmos. *Once it's dry burn in a fire.
14. At your altar (bring your candle, if you need to move spaces) place your Crystal Grid down where it calls to be placed and begin to design your crystals in a way that sings to you the most and feels the most alive with energy. 
15. Look at your Grid with your hands at prayer position and take in the energy of your Crystal Grid. What is it saying to you today? 
16. Write whatever insights come to mind on the Idea/Gratitude space in your LOA Planner for the month of July.
17. Sprinkle some glitter on top of your grid as a way of sending that magick forth into your month and into your next 6 months.
18. Take a deep breath and fill your heart with the energy you have created and then blow out your candle.
19. Visit your Crystal Grid often and repeat 15-18.

Blessed Be!

What's in the Box? And what do I do with it?

• Prime My Body Hemp Oil: Use like butter - that is, often and with everything ;)! It goes in your mouth and you hold it there for 60 seconds so that it can be absorbed into your bloodstream. You can also use on your skin for aches and pains - just rub a few drops into the area and enjoy the relief that comes a few mins later.
• Sweet Lovin, Gem & Flower Elixir, Bright Spark - I Thrive: Deep internal magick medicine that communicates to your subtle body. Let Bright Spark awaken your inner sunlight and personal power to a new level! Read this article for great info on this delicate yet powerful plant medicine: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/matauryn/2018/04/28/the-art-spirit-work-of-vibrational-essences/
• Oak Barrel Cider Incense: Oak is honored at the Solstice and Burn throughout June to bring forth the festive energies of the Solstice.  *Save one to throw into a Solstice bon-fire to make for a fragrant festivity.
• Rose Petals & Sunstone "Rejoice" Blessed Candle: Blessed by me and charmed with the essence of Rejoicing! Burn in ritual *see above Solstice ritual.
• Sunstones: Possessing energy as bright and cheery as its vibrant aesthetic, the Sunstone crystal meaning is linked with the playful whimsy of childhood. While maintaining the daily stress of adulting in the modern world, Sunstone reminds us to keep a healthy balance between career demands and fun in the sun. As an all-around chakra cleanser, Sunstone is an essential addition to healing grids because it clears and activates all energy pathways, helping increase the power of the other stones. If you lack a sense of sweetness in your life, it's time to call on Sunstone crystal healing properties to evoke the notion of joie de vivre. Following the spirit of the time-honored proverb, Sunstone crystal healing properties gives you the guidance to turn your face towards the sun, letting the shadows fall behind you. Sunstone is a shining light of optimism, your celestial lighthouse that you can always count on to guide you to safety. 
• Crystal Grid: This grid focuses on the sun rather than the moon this time to allow our minds to think about that which brings us life. The Oak trees grow in a mandala to symbolize growth in an earth-bound existence. 
• Glitter: Sprinkle some faery dust on your Crystal Grid and on your hair on the Summer Solstice.
• Rose Quartz: Though it’s thought of as the stone of love, it’s not just romantic love that rose quartz crystal embodies. The rose quartz stone meaning is one of unconditional love. The way it facilitates love entering your life is through it’s ability to bring your consciousness to a higher level. Helping you to forgive, understand and see fights or situations from a different perspective, rose quartz healing properties will imbue you with the wisdom to deepen your connection with your partner. In that same way, rose quartz properties provide gentle energy that assists you in recognizing your own need for compassion. It allows you to see that you deserve forgiveness and understanding from yourself. Associated with the element of water, rose quartz healing properties are naturally fluid. They wash out toxic energies and emotions that you have trapped inside of you. 
• Fig Leaf: June's Tree. To be used in ritual or in your own version of Sycomancy. Sycomancy is a form of divination that uses a fig leaf to read omens for the future. The term is derived from the ancient Greek words for fig, sūkon and for prophecy, manteia. The most common method of sycomancy involved writing a question or proposition on a fig leaf. If afterwards the leaf dried slowly, then it was thought to signal a positive answer; however if the leaf dried quickly, the answer was thought to be negative. *I've modified this practice above to not-so-much request an answer but to cast an intention and share gratitude with the sun. .Also how can one help oneself but enjoy the Fig Leaf for the touch of tongue and cheek play at the Christians for their use of the leaf to cover up Eve and Adam's naughty bits. Perhaps this is a good look for you too? Give it a try - I dare you ;)
• Rose Petals: June's Flower. In tarot, the rose is considered a symbol of balance. The beauty of this flower expresses promise, hope, and new beginnings.

May TALISMAMA Crystal Creator Box

TALISMAMA Crystal Creator Subscription Box - May 

What an ENORMOUS energy from April 30's Pink Moon to the High-Holiday of Beltane on May 1!!! As we're still reeling from the intensity of April's Full Moon in Scorpio we now step into the celebratory time of mid-spring. Mid-Spring or Beltane (which is exactly opposite from Samhain and both very important holidays for most pagans) can be viewed as the union of the Goddess and the God or male and female energies (don't think gender or gender identity - think more archetypal, something everyone has both of). Male and female in this case can also symbolize spirit and matter, heaven and earth, and death and birth. Any time these two forces come together we really see the magick that is life. Our world and cosmos is created by these opposite forces and this balance is the IT to all that IS. 

So to honor this exciting time of the year-wheel the crystal grid is a little bit different than usual. This time I featured the Earth with the pagan pentagram. I did this because this is the time of year to take your shoes off, your clothes off, put your ego down, get dirty, start the party and fucking get your play on! 

It has been a hectic, heady, SUPER-intense year so far. Consciousness is growing from the eruption of transparent breakdowns going on in every aspect of our social lives. And now I am inviting you to RECEIVE the energy of the Earth and Universe - soak it in and rejoice all of your accomplishments of the year thus far. Take a moment to celebrate YOU. All that your being-ness brings to the table. Who depends on you? Who do you support? What are you creating? Who are you teaching? Who's student are you? Who loves being your lover? Who are you to your family, to friends? What gap would exist on Earth if you were to disappear? 

We can get so caught up in life that we forget to rejoice the fact that we are alive. I am so grateful for YOU and I am inviting you to make May a month of spending time in gratitude for YOU also. 

So let this box inspire you to provide your needed self-care, to touch and connect with nature, to have multiple orgasms and to have FUN!

Why? Because you're playing for BIG things! You're playing for your life. 

What's in the Box? And what do I do with it?

• Prime My Body Hemp Oil: Use like butter - that is, often and with everything ;)
• Ylang Ylang essential Oil Blend: Use to drop some surface stress and get playful
• Sage: Burn during a ritual or celebration around Self Gratitude
• Candle: Burn in ritual as you celebrate the unification of God and Goddess (place in the middle of your Crystal Grid)
• Bag of Beach Sand + Shells: Add to your altar in a small vessel and/or sprinkle on your Crystal Grid. This is to remind you of summer fun that is around the corner, to ground you and to speak to your youthful spirit who will always love the beach!
• Peacock Tail Feather (naturally dropped in Puru + blessed by a Shaman): Put this in your hair, wear on your clothes, stick in your hat - may this remind you to strut your shit like a Peacock this month - Celebrate YOU!
• NOA KNAFO Visionary Card (Chosen for YOU by Sha Baby, Aerowynn Juniper): Meditate on what the card brings to mind first and then look up the cards meaning at - wiki.visionary-cards.com

A year from the push into the ABYSS...

Happy to say that I'm alive to tell my story since last year's push (by way of lay-off from cushy work-from-home corporate job) into the ABYSS and towards financial freedom.

Just one year later and my goals to have money come in easily while doing what I love continues to manifest!

Last year at this time I created a chart so I could visually experience my year's triumphs as the year turned round. I thought I'd share this with you as it has become a very helpful tool for my growth:

I was so worried after the lay-off that I wouldn't have enough, but miraculously I have been able to pay my bills, stay home with my nursling,  create a new sacred business, take easy jobs for money and be a homemaker. I'm kinda shocked myself - so I felt it was important to share.

Another tool that has completely been a game-changer for me is actively using the Law of Attraction Planner:

It was challenging for me to have faith that the energy I was putting out would come back to me in a nourishing way - but it has. It hasn't looked exactly like my projections:

But the gap has given me a lot of feedback about what are realistic goals and how much time to realistically expect things to unfold, given that I'm connected to a 2 year old, running a home and working various jobs.

All of the above tools were enhanced by the wonderful manifesting practice of Dreamboarding. My dreamboard this year feels very alive to me and the ease, flow and happiness that it represents was all present in my life this year:

These are all my very personal dreams and BIG, DEEP manifestations that are so close to my heart and my highest being that it feels a bit vulnerable to share but I think it's so important to expose our processes to each other. This is a time of great growth and challenge and rising to the occasion takes a lot of focus. I have found that part of manifestation success is to keep inspiring records of what you ask for and what comes your way. All of this leads to a sense of gratitude and a feeling like getting a big hug from the universe. 

..................................................................................

If YOU would like to take a coached manifestation journey through 2018 with me please email me at shamamarising@gmail.com and let me know the price-point that would inspire you to do the work but also be within your financial sweet-spot. Also let me know how you learn best. Such as do live webinars work for you or are taped recordings better - or both etc.

Labor as Shamanic Initiation

One reason you may not have thought of that makes your daughter's First Moon Initiation so important...

First Moon: Energetic Field separation from Mother & introduction to her HERstory

Women are designed to go through several transformations in their lifetimes that radically change their experience of life and how others experience them. 

The first major transformation is when the Maiden enters the realm of the Mother and begins her first blood and her courtship with the moon. 

A very integral component to this transition is the energetic separation between mother and daughter at this time. The daughter will, from this point forward, be responsible for creating HERstory as a fertile woman in the world - a path that only she may walk, and her mother may not join. 

So when coordinating the rite-of-passage / moon ritual for your daughter you may want to include some time devoted to making the distinction between the mother/daughter energy field and what that change means for your daughter and for yourself. 

Creative ways to include this concept into the First Moon initiation might be:

• Have the supporting sisters of your circle symbolically tie one of your and your daughter's hands together (where both wrists are tied off making complete string bracelets for each that are also attached) and as part of your ceremony have a sister cut the string between both bracelets while saying "As love binds you, so love frees you."
• In ceremony bind the mother's eyes with a blindfold and have the daughter do a dance the mother can not see.
• Have the daughter plant a tree alone that is hers to nourish and cultivate. Perhaps she can pour her monthly blood on it as it grows.
• Give the daughter a sacred ring that all the sisters pick out that symbolizes her relationship with herself and the beginning of her path.

This distinction can be helpful for both mother and daughter as the two have been entangled from birth at such a deep level. Bringing awareness to the new paradigm that the First Moon brings may ease some of the pain of the change on both sides.

Why Empowered Birth?

It's no accident that in the U.S. many women don't even know that they can birth without drugs or medical intervention and that the experience can be empowering, a bonding experience with their baby and a spiritual awakening or shaman-like initiation.  Once certain opportunistic men in power caught wind of the potential money to be made off of womens' bodies - birth and breastfeeding were gobbled up by the patriarchal and "professional" organizations of medicine and capitalism.

Due to this history now many women in the U.S. aren't even asking themselves why they might want to consider having an empowered birth. But for those of us who asking here are three reasons I've put together that answer why have an empowered birth:

1. Have an empowered birth because birth is YOURS and if you own the experience you can tap into your innate wisdom:

• Educate yourself about what is going on in your body during birth and you will be in a position of power during the stages of labor or if confronted with an issue. Your body and your baby are rich with deep DNA wisdom that is triggered and will unfold throughout the pregnancy and birth journey. Our brains are the largest obstacles to this natural unfolding. The more you understand and are comfortable with the physical process of birth, the less you will be intimidated by professionals or get caught up in your head. Not knowing what is happening leaves room for fear and a loss of power.  

2. Have an empowered birth to experience the innate intelligence of creation:

• Regardless your faith the birth journey can elevate your connection to Source. Tuning into your own higher power often during pregnancy, connecting spiritually with your baby (while it's in your womb) and meditating (with and without your partner) about your birth will all aid in a calm, connected birth experience. You'll find yourself going to this safe meditative place often in labor so being comfortable with it and knowing how to draw guidance from it will give you a power that no one can take away.

3. Have an empowered birth to enjoy your immense strength:  

• The high that a mountain climber gets at the top of an impressive peak pales in comparison to the joy and elation of birthing a baby. Your strength will astound you and you'll never underestimate yourself again.
