Alchemy

Published June 19, 2020 by tindertender

“There is a transcendent God, or Absolute, in which we and the entire universe participate” and that man can learn how to purify nature (and thereby himself) such that he can become one with “The All.”

The below link is FULL of information on Alchemy.
Enjoy.

Tis true without lying, certain & most true.
That which is below is like that which is above & that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracles of one only thing
And as all things have been & arose from one by the meditation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation.
The Sun is its father, the moon its mother, the wind hath carried it in its belly, the earth is its nurse.
The father of all perfection in the whole world is here.
Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth.
Separate thou the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross sweetly with great industry.
It ascends from the earth to the heaven & again it descends to the earth & receives the force of things superior & inferior.
By this means you shall have the glory of the whole world
& thereby all obscurity shall fly from you.
Its force is above all force. For it vanquishes every subtle thing & penetrates every solid thing.
So was the world created.
From this are & do come admirable adaptations whereof the means (or process) is here in this. Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist, having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world
That which I have said of the operation of the Sun is accomplished & ended.

A hermetic practitioner seeks to learn how to perfect 3 “crafts.”

These are:

  1. The Craft of Alchemy (the operation of the Sun).
  2. The Craft of Astrology (the operation of the Stars).
  3. The Craft of Theurgy (the operation of the gods AKA ‘magic’).

Oracle Reading 6-18-2020

Allow yourself to be inspired. Find or be your own muse. If you are feeling uninspired, do something you do not normally do. It’s time to indulge yourself in music, song, dance and poetry.

It is time for a change, and it will be positive. Respect your own natural cycles. Be mindful of seasonal changes and go with the flow taking these into account in your diet and activity level.

You will be victorious. Teamwork or a partnership may be better than going it alone. Synergy is important right now. Delegation is useful.

Financial aspects come to the fore. Your prosperity will improve. You can be physically and spiritually rich. Ethics are necessary for real success.

You are loved and protected even through the most difficult of trials. This is a time for healing. You need mothering or to use your mothering energy. Magic is happening!

A relationship of some kind is spotlighted. Re-examine your loyalties or commitments and see if they are still warranted. Petty jealousies must be put aside for the greater good.

Words Are Words.

Each one a lesson you’ve learned.

Time has been distributed well.

We are free from that which prevents us from reaching our destination.

My savior is LOVE, and it dwells in my SOUL ~ A precious portion of creation.

Soul: Beyond this body, yet animates this body.

Some disconnects are necessary.

A shift in reality.

Start anew.

Begin again.

Heart of the Issue: Hope ~ Do not give up; there is hope yet. A wish will be granted. A birth is imminent. Fertility is everywhere. (Goddess: Yemaya ~ Often depicted as the goddess of hope and love. She is also considered the nourishing mother aspect of all water.)

The Challenge you Face: Justice ~ Justice will be done for the good of all. Take responsibility for your actions. The chaos in your life will end; natural order will be restored. (Goddess: Maat ~ She brought Law to chaos. She created and judged every natural law in the universe, making her one of the most powerful deities.)

The Solution: Unity ~ You will be victorious. Teamwork or a partnership may be better than going it alone. Synergy is important right now. Delegation is useful. (Goddess: Boudicca ~ Her name means “bringer of victory”. She did what no other could do in her time: she was a queen, a warrior, a leader, and a mother.)

Beloved Sisters

Published June 17, 2020 by tindertender

You are deep soul women. You won’t find a worthy love in the shallows. Within your chest beats a heart from light. You are from stars.

Beloved Sisters ~

You deserve Divine Masculine. The One who sees you as Holy. Sees you like the high priestess that you are.

Who worships you at your altar as you do theirs in body, mind, spirit and Heart. Someone whose words are prayers pressed openly against your bare Soul.

You deserve someone who sees your loving Heart, free and wild.

Divine Love grows in the Light and honors you, not dismisses you.

You deserve someone who sees the magic that surrounds you as you move between the worlds and feel between the layers of time.

You deserve someone who understands your deep Soul-work, to walk the path of your ancient mystery.

Beloved Sisters ~

You deserve someone who understands you swim in the unknown, you move between worlds and among the shadows. And disappear at times into the realm of the unseen.

And your Love is so strong in time and space that you will always return to them .

You deserve someone who will choose you fully and build a world with you. One of peace, Love and passion.

One and only who embraces you in your wholeness.

Who understands your deep loving, healing Heart in every loving breath in between.

Beloved Sisters ~

You deserve one who loves the fire in your Heart, in your spirit, in your veins. One who celebrates you for all that you are.

Sisters, hold your head high for the One who can see your bright Light. A spirit with a warrior’s heart to match your own heart.

You are born to shine.

You are a deep soul woman. And you won’t find a worthy love in the shallows. Those who are unworthy can never truly see your Light.

Dear Sisters ~

Somewhere on this planet there is One worthy of your love and sees your magic.

Somewhere on this planet beats a Divine Heart deserving your fire. Who is not afraid to dance with your Soul in your endless depths into the unknown.

Strong

Published June 17, 2020 by tindertender

When they see you as a strong woman, they think that you do not need anything or anyone, you can bear everything and will overcome whatever happens. That you do not mind being listened to, cared for or pampered.

When they see you as a strong woman, they just look for you to help them carry their crosses. They talk to you and they think you do not need to be heard.

A strong woman is not asked if she is tired, suffering or falling, if she has anxiety or fear. The important thing is that she is always there: a lighthouse in the fog or a rock in the middle of the sea.

The strong woman is not forgiven anything. If she loses control, she becomes weak. If she loses her temper, she becomes hysterical.

When the strong woman disappears a minute, it is immediately noticeable, but when she is there, her presence is usual.

But the strength that is needed every day, to be that kind of woman, does not matter to anyone.

Honor, recognize, respect and thank the strong women in your life, because they also need to be restrained, loved and feel that they can rest.

We’ve Canceled Aunt Jemima

Published June 17, 2020 by tindertender

Her actual name was Nancy Green. She was born a slave in 1834 in Kentucky. In 1890 she was hired to represent Aunt Jemima as an advertising character. It was her job to operate the pancake cooking display.

Green was 56-yrs old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago. She demonstrated the pancake mix and served thousands of pancakes… and became an immediate star.

She was a good storyteller, her personality was warm and appealing, and her showmanship was exceptional. Her exhibition booth drew so many people that special security personnel were assigned to keep the crowds moving.

Her personality and cooking talent made her an instant hit. She won a medal for her performance.

Nancy Green was signed to a lifetime contract, traveled on promotional tours all over the country, and was extremely well paid. Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for folks in Chicago.

She was working until her death until 1923. Green was one of the organizers of Olivet Baptist Church.

Her career allowed her …

Personality and a friendly nature. Her original painting sold for $9030.00. It was rendered by A.B. Frost one of the great illustrators of the Golden Age.

They took her life’s work and eliminated it.

She should be remember as one who persevered.

Not “just a slave”.

An achiever.

“This is an injustice for me and my family. This is part of my history, sir,” Larnell Evans Sr. told Patch. “The racism they talk about, using images from slavery, that comes from the other side — white people. This company profits off images of our slavery. And their answer is to erase my great-grandmother’s history. A black female. … It hurts.”

Doubt Is The Choice Of The Wise Man

Published June 17, 2020 by tindertender

“When science goes beyond the objective observation of facts and attempts to appraise and explain them, the field opens wide for speculation; each one then advances a theory of his own, trying to make it prevail and defending it relentlessly. Do we not see every day the most contradictory opinions, one after another, be proposed and rejected, sometimes repealed as absurd errors, only to be later proclaimed as indisputable truths? Facts are the sole criterion of reality, the argument that admits of no reply. In the absence of facts, doubt is the choice of the wise man.”

We Have A Choice

Published June 17, 2020 by tindertender

It is apparent governments, or at least the one in my country, is steering us toward mass vaccinations and chipping.

Pretty sure this is happening to us world-wide.

Will the people choose the light?

Or will they allow politicians and scientists to shut it down once more, leaving the mind in the dark, and us feeling alone … with the suffering inflicted by lifetime politicians?

Oracle Reading 6-16-2020

Published June 16, 2020 by tindertender

Your time of healing is here. Past hurts will recede. Be inspired to create – this in itself is healing. It is your birthright to create.

How to move forward in this healing:

It is never too late to change. Regret is useless. Forgiveness may be necessary. Bravery is valuable.

Celebrate in joyful peace. Be contented with what you have. Dance, sing, love, and create without anxiety. It is time to rest and to cease driving forward for a time.

It is time for a change, and it will be positive. Respect your own natural cycles. Be mindful of seasonal changes and go with the flow taking these into account in your diet and activity level.

We are all irresistible in our own ways. Enjoyment is a natural part of life. Center yourself and be confident among chaos.

Healthy fierceness is required. Strengthen your physical body. Walk forward in pride and know that you can fight any battle. You need to strike a balance between masculine and feminine.

You are the thought that created me, the breath of passion that animated me, the egg that I have sprung from, the womb that bore me here.

You envelope me in a love so powerful that I am never hungry, I am never afraid, I fly without wings, I grow greater than I ever thought I could.

You are the sweet smell of earth, the liquid sea, the nectar, the pleasure, to whose arms I shall return.
