Sighted recently, location will remain undisclosed to deter hunters, the White Stag is sacred and must not be hunted.
This is a sign that there’s still hope.

Choosing and Building Worlds
Published November 30, 2021 by tindertender“All who are born will die; all who are born will grieve; all who are born are one shared spirit. We are each and all a part of the Be-ing of the Goddess, the Mother, the Earth. In this time of transition, change, and death on the planet, there is no time or space for the denial of death, the denial of living, or the denial of each other. There is only time for recognition and for love.” ~ Understanding the Soul’s Journey by Diane Stein
Q: Are you afraid to use your knowledge and fly to new heights and realms? Are you using your knowledge to move forward?
A: Oh how I long for new heights and realms! Today I will learn and move forward.
Over the generations of history, people have been squeezed into smaller and smaller fields of vision. They forgot over time that they are connected to all that is. Too often they see themselves as singular, small, disconnected from everything. I know exactly how this is, for I lived my first 36 years believing myself alone … alone in this body, with no one who understood my plight.
During the last 20 years I have broken barriers, swam thru the abyss, survived the invisible paws attempting to harness and draw me down into a place of despair. It wasn’t easy.
The internet has assisted in the process of awakening, of connecting, but it is still only a substitute for the truest connections we share with the unseen … those Guides, Guardians and Angels assisting daily, psychic friends and family working on behalf of the sacredness of life in every now moment, and the Ancient One’s who never left, who never stopped pouring forth love into this realm, and others.
Most folks simply had the ability to truly connect trained right out of them, replaced by an inferior ‘program’. Thankfully, with the Light being shown upon all faces, with the Schumann Resonance rising, and individual vibration increasing, these connections are being made once more.
I am not alone when I say I feel the presence of my truest family, those in the unseen. And trust me when I tell you, I know of the opposition as well, and I see their works in the world more clearly than ever, for they forced themselves into my own personal experience.
Pulling my attention from the chaos makers, I focus on those who have never given up on the sacredness of life dwelling on this planet. I focus my attention here, on them, for what we put our attention on, grows … in presence, and in power. I choose the sacred, I choose the wayshowers, I choose those who have kept traditions alive, and I choose those who choose me, in a good way.
People really must decide on what it is they choose to empower with their attention, their focus, their energy, especially energy wrapped in emotion which increases its potency. Chaos cannot survive without our participation, for WE are the battery keeping it alive.
Now is the time, more than ever before, for us to choose wisely that which receives the gift of our Creatorship.
We are either ‘led’ my the media and hyperbole of fear inducing statements, coercing folks into making a decision or entering an unhealthy reality, or we turn off the crap, and get busy creating the life, the world, we wish to see manifest.
There are arguments that say we cannot make change for those things unless we shine a light on them. And to an extent, this is true. But we are not creating the ideal future for ourselves and others while we are giving our time and attention or our Light to a system of violation. Just imagine what this energy being ‘spent’ on dominators and their crimes would create if it were to be redirected into a beautiful alternative?
Walk away … walk away from it all.
A new earth is coming. A new earth where foods are plenty and pure, where love and union are seen as sacred, where family includes all who participate in the dream ….. and speaking of the dream … who’s dream are people responding to, empowering, keeping going? Abusive dominator culture, or freedom and self-sufficiency as a whole?
Some may think, for I know I did, that if we turn the other cheek and simply walk away from the drama, it might take over. Think of it logically tho …. it would not exist without active member participation. It would simply fizzle and be no more.
We are headed into a new reality alright … which one do you choose?
Against the Grain
Published November 29, 2021 by tindertenderYou want birds to be able to fly under water. You want love to trump power. You want humanity to relate to each other as equals and to recognize the sacredness in you and in the world around you. You want to unleash the beauty that hides in even the ugliest of scenes or sentiments. You want to make possible what others say cannot be. You are a radical dreamer, a sacred rebel, and you bring the light of a more positive future to this world.
However, this can have its burdens. Deep within you may feel that you don’t really fit in with the rest of the world. Perhaps your sense of how things can be and how they really are, is so different to the smaller minds or more fearful hearts of many others that you are rarely received for all that you offer. This might make you feel frustrated, thwarted or lonely at times.
The universe so loves you for your unusual take on things, for the quirkiness in you that dares to honor that which is different and renders the impossible, possible. You must never, ever lose your unusual ways and become dry, serious, appropriate and conventional – not even for appearance’s sake – for you would lose your essence. You are here to show what life is about so much more than conventional success.
You are someone who lives and breathes in the depths of creative waters. You need to lose yourself to the flow of music, nature, dreams, imagination and fantasy, through art and literature, meditation, dance and in sensual surrender to the sacred waters of the ocean, the river, the lake – or the bathtub!
You must go against the grain. It is just your way. You are not one of the followers but one of the agitators. However, yours is not a force of disrespectful chaos. You are a loving catalyst and by simply being yourself, you constantly remind people that there is always another way. You are meant to be exactly who you are. You are meant to be the black sheep, the rainbow sheep or even the wild wolf in the flock of sheep! The daring butterfly spirit calling to the caterpillars – that is you. The price you pay for the gift of individuality is that you must take care of it and guard it so that you are not dulled down and conditioned into playing at being something you are not.
If this has happened, or ids threatening to happen, this oracle brings you comfort. You will always dream of birds that can fly underwater. You know that the true nature of your being can never be changed – at most, it could only be hidden for a time. Now is the time to accept who you are and allow your truths to be fully expressed. Don’t worry about the effects of going against the grain. When we are who we are in truth, we attract the support, protection and energy that we need to thrive. Your power comes from aligning your outward self with your inner truth, not with the general consensus. You will then find other dreamers, other wild butterflies and atypically colored sheep to join you in conjuring better visions for our world.
Healing process ::
Close your eyes and relax. Take seven deep breaths in and out as you bring your awareness into your body and the space that exists within your body.
When you are relaxed, imagine, sense or perceive a winding river of golden light that starts below your feet. Sense it gathering there as a pool of liquid golden energy. It has an intelligence of its own and it winds its way into beautiful patterns before you, flowing with grace and playfulness. This river of light symbolizes your life journey. Just notice it and enjoy it.
See that your life journey is unique. You may focus on your own river of life or expand your awareness to sense the rivers of light that represent the journeys of those around you. You may see, sense or feel that their paths are unique to them also. No-one has the exact same journey to take, even though we are all heading towards the one destination of absolute love.
Say the following aloud, “I honor myself. I honor the truth that I express through my very being. I accept the protection that I am offered so that I may go against the grain from a place of love and as an invitation for others to be open to life. So be it.”
When you are ready, simply open your eyes and sit quietly with your hand on your heart for a moment. You have completed your healing process.

Release the Dark Wound, Let Love Live
Published November 23, 2021 by tindertenderIf we detach something from its source too soon, trying to force it to become what it is not yet ready or willing to become, we can unintentionally sap it of its strength and kill it. There is a dark wound in the consciousness of humanity which demands perfection and denies process. If you are thinking of publishers before you have even written the book, if you are comparing your unfinished song idea to the latest best-selling pop release, if you have decided you are not good enough or worthy enough to succeed before you’ve given it everything you’ve got and asked for divine help, then this dark wound has you in its grasp.
You have to let go of the death-grip of perfectionism and let yourself and your ideas live. Love is abundant, creative and inspiring. It moves us so much more joyously and creatively than fear. Honor the path of your own love – what inspires you, what feels exciting, joyful and perhaps even rather different? Let that live! Release the dark wounding of false belief. There are countless stories of vastly successful artists who very nearly binned the project that was making their career, because of the despair fostered by their own dark nature. They doubted. They were uncertain. Was their work any good? Was it useless? They struggled to believe in the right of a work to come to life, whether it was accepted, revered or rejected by others or not. They nearly lost their work to fear. Undoubtedly there have been many times when this has actually happened, and the work was not saved, not allowed to live. Do not let this happen to you. Whether something is meant to be a commercially-oriented venture or a more personal creation for your own therapeutic healing, it must be allowed to be, without judgement, without criticism, even without premature evaluation. It must be allowed to be what it is, and only time, love, patience and attention will reveal it.
Act on this immediately so that your path can continue under the protection of grace and wisdom.
Healing process ::
Say the declaration below out loud three times. Be in your heart and really feel what you are expressing.
I now choose of my own free will to release all cellular memories and belief systems based in the dark wound of criticism, judgement, shaming and fear, so that my creative, loving energy may thrive in a nourishing environment conducive to growth. Through all time and space, through all dimensions of my being, through unconditional love, so be it.

In the Castle of Dreams
Published November 20, 2021 by tindertenderI’ve dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas: they’ve gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind. ~ Emily Bronte
The realm of dreams is an enchanted castle with a multidimensional world of magic and miracles within. A moat separates the castle of dreams from the mundane world of rational ordinary reality. Each morning you are returned from your dreams and gently delivered back to the shores of the three-dimensional waking world. If you forget your nighttime dreams, which is natural to do, your sojourn to the mystical multidimensional realm ends there. Awaken too quickly, and the drawbridge rises before a trace of the dream is carried with you, and your actions throughout the day will make logical, rational (maybe even robotic) sense. However, when you remember even a hint of a dream, the drawbridge remains down, and your actions, state of being, and your day are colored by the extraordinary dreaming mind. When the drawbridge is down, quantum leaps take place, awakening happens, and miracles become commonplace. The trick lies in retaining and integrating the wisdom of the dream into your waking life.
Mantra ::
I use my entire pallet and paint with broad strokes as I participate vividly in life.

Bring It Into Form
Published November 19, 2021 by tindertenderBeautiful dreamer, you can imagine wonderful worlds of light. You can dream up so many possibilities. Now it is time to bring those possibilities of light into the world. They need to be more than ideas. They need to live, to manifest. The world needs not only your dreams, beautiful as they are, but also your creations. Get thee to thy desk! Thy easel! Thy computer! Work, beautiful dreamer. Don’t just dream, create!
Honor yourself with a commitment to complete your inspired tasks. This will help you grow and that is a wonderful reason to commit. But, there is another reason too – you know that your inspired ideas are worth translating into practical forms so that other people can access them and experience something special too.
If you have been thinking about writing a book, painting a picture or acting on an inspiration or idea, do it. Now. Don’t dally or dither about the details or worry about how it is all going to work out. The universe loves a bold spirit. Once you take a step, it will rush toward you like an enthusiastic and chivalrous lover – opening doors, hand gently guiding your lower back – as you are moved forward. You will promptly be provided with all that is needed to take the next step.
There is sacrifice in translating the perfection of an idea into the limited physical form. Although something may be lost when turning a multi-dimensional concept of endless potential into something concrete, realize that there is much more to be gained. You must become free of this inspiration so that you can receive your next inspiration. It is already waiting for you. So, on you must go.
The information you need to translate your ideas into form will be provided according to the higher wisdom of life. It may or may not happen by traditional routes. Even if it seems unimaginable, when it is time for something to be born into form, nothing can stop it. It will happen!
Feel assured that your path of success is not going to unfolds according to the usual rules and regulations. It might happen in ways that surprise you and others, but it will happen. It is meant to be.
Mantra ::
I am energized and empowered to bring my ideas to life. I release any fear that they won’t live up to the perfection of my ideas or fantasies. I give them permission to become what they want to be, in service to life. In releasing these ideas into form, I open up to receive new ideas and inspirations. I am helped with this process through unconditional love, for the greater good. So be it.

After The Storm
Published November 18, 2021 by tindertenderThere’s a thunderstorm about. It is either headed your way or just passing through now. Don’t make a thunderstorm mean more than what it is, though. You don’t have to fear it. You might even feel excitement about it. After all, a thunderstorm is just natures way of gathering energy together that needs to be released. With a release of tension, relief and freedom soon follow, often with a fresh perspective and perhaps the gift of a promising hopeful vision for your future.
Perhaps the particular storm building within you or around you is causing you to quake in your boots. It might be a storm of building emotions, threatening to erupt or already exploding, seemingly beyond your conscious control. You might feel and uncomfortable sense of emotional or psychological pressure within and if something doesn’t happen – and soon – you fear you might just burst! You may also sense that these are forces operating beyond your control. And you would be right.
There is, in life and in the creative process, a need to allow for wild storms. There will be those precious moments of peace beforehand and the release and revitalization that follows, yet the storm in the middle is essential! It is a natural part of the creative process. Without this building and releasing of energy, we would suffer from boredom and stagnancy. You may prefer the excitement of the storm, or the fresh, open feeling that accompanies its clearing. You may find it confronting to be faced with the power of something in which you can only participate, rather than control. Either way, the storm wisdom offers you the gift of bringing things to a head, and clearing them away, so that the energy can be freed from a pattern that has had its day, andis ready to become something new.
Sometimes the pressures that fuel the storms of our lives have been building up for a long time, without us being fully aware of it. It might be pressure from our own minds, creating unnecessary burdens upon us, such as burdens of fear or self-doubt. It could be pressure to appear a certain way, or to fight against life out of a mistaken belief that this is necessary for survival. Sometimes the pressure is little more than the impossible dream of perfection and a need to gently, or even with great dramatic flourish, cast that aside, so that you can dare to be what you are and create from your heart.
Even if you are not sure what the storm is about, don’t lose confidence in your ability to successfully bear its progression, until you are safely at the other side of the experience. Even among the chaos of change and in moments of anxiety, know that you have so much light and trust in your heart that you can see the storm is but a passing process, and notjing that need worry you.
If you cant sense the storm yet, it is coming, and you can, if you wish, feel the beautiful exhilarating gift of it, as you are empowered to cast aside what has been, and receive the gift of a fresh, new take on things. Your confidence is to remain intact – whatever is happening or soon will happen in your life, this storm of sorts, is transformational and supportive of your growth. It is going to clear away cobwebs and free you, open you, to new creative energy and life. Remember – there can be no rainbows without a little rain.
If you have been praying for help, your prayers have been heard and the great creative intelligence of our universe is responding to you, stepping in and shaking things up so that the situations can be sorted out according to a greater wisdom. So let go, hold only to your inner self and allow everything to be cleansed in the sacred storm.
Healing Process ::
Find a place where you can be alone and have some privacy, either inside or perhaps out in nature. When you are ready, repeat the following, where possible with your arms up and open to the sky.
Storms so wild
Storms of grace
I call your blessing
Into my heart now
May I release and let go
May I be revitalized and grow
I open up my heart
To you now
Storms of grace
I stand my ground
As I allow your magic
To cleanse and surround
Any outgrown energy
Which I no longer need
Anything which will sap
Or deplete rather than feed
Storms of grace
Merciful earth
With your help
I experience rebirth
When you have completed your declaration, simply place your hands in prayer at your heart and close your eyes for a moment. Breathe in and out and be aware of yourself, what you feel and what is happening in your body – from the top of your head to the soles of your feet.
Then say, “Through divine creative genius, this is now so.”

What You Want, Wants You
Published November 16, 2021 by tindertenderDo you dare to believe that what you want, is also wanting you? The genuine desires of your heart are the sacred purpose of the soul, swathed in pleasure. Yet, if you have been shamed, judged for, made to feel guilt over, or denied your natural desires or pleasures in anyway, you may have developed a very tricky and complicated relationship with the yearnings of your heart. We often learn to distrust our own desires and come to believe that they are something to be overcome or avoided. We may even try to want second best, disbelieving that we are worthy of our first choice, of what we really, genuinely want, and would fulfill us deeply. Perhaps we have conditioned ourselves to believe that getting what we want is for others, not us.
First, trust in what you truly want. Not the substitutions and make-dos, but what would truly bring a sense of passionate, playful purpose and fulfillment to your life. You might not know anything more than “I want to sing!” or “I want to write!” or “I want to help animals!” or “I want to paint!” Start with what you know and hold it in your heart. If you genuinely do not know what your heart wants, you will very much enjoy the process of exploring your desires by making gentle and persistent enquiries of yourself. Ask yourself what it is that truly moves you. Give this matter consistent attention without forcing a response. Your answers may come in a sudden flood, or slowly, over time.
As you get to know your genuine desires and give yourself permission to feel and receive them, a powerful sequence is set in motion. From the depths of the universe, your desire hurtles its way towards you as the perfect manifestation. It is coming to you even now – manifesting itself as the best situation or relationship or circumstances to bring fulfillment to your heart, radiance to your life path and a creative awakening. So don’t give up. Keep dreaming of your fulfillment, but don’t imagine it as always awaiting you in some distant future. Instead play with what it will feel like to be so fulfilled, right now. How will you feel different? Will you be more grateful, more peaceful and content? More confident? More trusting of your ability to create and in the loving responsiveness of this wild universe? Cultivate those feelings. Get to feel what genuine desire and the meeting of that desire – that can then generate yet new desire – is like for you. Give yourself permission to go there, right now.
Remember that if you have people in your life who are shutting you down, suggesting that what you want is not possible or that you are aiming too high, then they need this healing too. Perhaps you can inspire them by giving yourself permission to heal. This will naturally open them to the idea that they could give themselves permission to know and fulfill their unique desires too. Whether someone chooses to be inspired by you, or to be fearful of your innate creative power, is completely up to them.
Whether you see it coming or not, your desire is already on its way to you. It is closer than you think and soon you will be able to see it, touch it, feel it and enjoy it. You will then become inspired for your next manifestation based on the true desires of your heart.
Healing Process ::
Repeat this statement three times, with feeling: “What I want, wants me, and I am open, willing and capable to receive it, through unconditional love now.”

Shock Of The New
Published November 15, 2021 by tindertenderWhat wild unconventional voice is calling to you? Can you hear it? It is so different and so unusual, it might be hard to decipher – like hearing an unfamiliar language for the first time. It might be hard to discern with great clarity now but there is an affinity between you and this strangely beautiful newness seeking to manifest.
There is a stirring at the deepest level within you. Something new will break through and the process of this birth may shock you. The shock will transform into great joy and a sense of tremendous liberation, but you must bear the strangeness first. That strangeness might be something that rattles your beliefs about yourself and your world, daring you to become more of yourself, more open the where life is leading you and more willing to be the unique sacred art being crafted by the hand of the universal creator.
Nature never shies away from strange beauty. She allows for endless diversity and her sacred works are often peculiar and stunning. You live within her field of creative grace, as a specially created work that also creates! Surrender any fear you may have of being seen as exotic, unusual, eccentric or bizarre. Make peace with strange beauty, let it happen through you in creative flow. Perhaps you need to allow your conventional ideas of beauty to become even more inspired and open. Perhaps you can allow your need for the world to behave according to your fixed ideas to fall away. You will receive so much more in its place.
There are rumblings and stirrings of the creative life force happening now – deep in the undercurrents of your being. If you are very attuned or sensitive, you may have consciously felt this already – with excitement, discomfort or both. If you have not yet sensed these inner stirrings, they are happening all the same. So be on the lookout for the big shift of new birth, the shock of the new, the unconventional, the strangely beautiful and the disturbing liberation of that which is foreign stepping into your life. This is life creating the stage upon which you will experience greater fulfillment.
Don’t be nervous if the rumble of change turns into a mighty roar that rocks boats, bursts forth of novel ideas and changes things in a way that is out of your control. This is life happening. Free fall into it. The old way is on its way out. You are being invited, dragged, nurtured and coerced into the new. You can handle it!
You are about to encounter something new and different in your life. This is helpful! Don’t reject it, no matter how small or insignificant, or how powerful and life-changing it may seem to be. Dispense with your reliance on the past and what have been your tools to navigate life. You have outgrown your old methods. You will have to fly by the seat of your pants, so to speak, as you experiment with new ways to be. Let life show you the way.
Mantra ::
I am supported through the shock of the new, I accept the beauty in all that is foreign or strange to me as I know it is bringing me new gifts, wisdom, life experiences and creative inspiration. Through unconditional love, so be it.

Ezekiel 34:11-31
Published November 14, 2021 by tindertenderFor this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said, “Here I am, I myself, and I will search for my sheep and care for them. According to the care of one feeding his drove in the day of his coming to be in the midst of his sheep that have been spread abroad, that is the way I shall care for my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all the places to which they have been scattered in the day of clouds and thick gloom. And I will bring them out from the peoples and collect them together from the lands and bring them in onto their soil and feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the streambeds and by all the dwelling places of the land. In a good pasturage I shall feed them, and on Israel’s high mountains their abiding place will come to be. There they will lie down in a good abiding place, and on a fat pasturage they will feed upon the mountains of Israel.
I myself shall feed my sheep, and I myself shall make them lie down. The lost one I shall search for, and the dispersed one I shall bring back, and the broken one I shall bandage and the ailing one I shall strengthen, but the fat one and the strong one I shall annihilate. I shall feed that one with judgement.
And as for you my sheep, here I am judging between a sheep and a sheep, between the rams and the he-goats. Is it such a little thing for you men that on the very best pasturage you feed but the rest of your pasturages you should trample down with your feet, and that the clear waters you drink but the ones left over you should foul by stamping with your very feet? And as for my sheep, on the pasture ground trampled by your feet should they feed and the water befouled by the stamping of your feet should they drink?
Here I am, I myself, and I shall certainly judge between a plump sheep and a lean sheep, for the reason that with flank and with shoulder you kept pushing and with your horns you kept shoving all the sickened ones until you had scattered them to the outside. And I will save my sheep, and they will no longer become something for plunder; and I will judge between a sheep and a sheep. And I will raise up over them one shepherd. And I myself, Jehovah, will become their God, and my servant David a chieftain in the midst of them.
And I will conclude with them a covenant of peace, and I shall certainly cause the injurious wild beast to cease out of the land, and they will actually dwell in the wilderness in security and sleep in the forests. And I will make them the surroundings of my hill a blessing, and I will cause the pouring rain to descend at this time. Pouring rains of blessing there will prove to be. And the tree of the field must give its fruitage, and the land itself will give its yield, and they will actually prove to be on their soil in security. And they will have to know that I am Jehovah when I break the bars of their yoke and I have delivered them out of the hand of those who had been using them as slaves. And they will no longer become something to plunder for the nations; and as regards the wild beast of the earth, it will not devour them, and they will actually dwell in security, with no one to make them tremble.
And I will raise up for them a planting for a name, and they will no more become those taken away by famine in the land, and they will no longer bear the humiliation by the nations. And they will have to know that I, Jehovah their God, am with them and that they are my people.
And as regards you my sheep, the sheep of my pasturing, you are earthling men, I am your God, is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.”

Mind you, I believe Israel is metaphorical for the entirety of the planet …. all mountains, hills, forests … Food Forests … The new Garden of Eden.
