Women in Viking society had more power than most other European women of the time. They could get a divorce, own property and sell their own handicrafts.
Some women became successful and wealthy landowners. Others participated in trade. Scales used for weighing silver used in trade have been found in women’s graves. Even a few weapons were found in female graves, giving the notion that some women were fighters along side of their men.
Most women in Viking society, however, lived and worked in the domestic realm of the household. Vikings believed in making money. What they had talent for decided what that would be. If a woman showed talent in an area, nobody would stop her.
A sense that history is somehow repeating. A chance to do things differently, and, perhaps, secure a better outcome. To work with or break a cycle, you need to recognize it. Release stress, tension or anger before it builds to a storm. It may be necessary to walk away from a challenging personality. Difficulty breaking a habit or pattern of thinking. Establish a positive routine.
Through infinite cycles of life, death and rebirth, our souls stretch into timeless repetition. All the whole, your thoughts and actions draw from the past and feed into your future. The journey repeats as often as needed. There is no rushing through to the end. The cycle can be broken through wisdom, through detachment, through memory of the sacred, through a return to life oneness.
Listen, observe and better your chances. Rely on your direct experience. Do not be swayed reputation, gossip or a third party account. Trust your perception and interpretation of a situation. Be wary of gaslighting or of someone who undermines your sense of self and the world around you. Develop and hone your sensitivities.
Your senses are clouded by thoughts and emotions. Try to distance yourself from what others say, detach emotionally, quiet your judgements and clear your thoughts. Find a quiet place, preferably in nature, where you can relax and refresh your perception. Let your instinct guide you to the clear, unmistakable voice that comes not from your thoughts, but from your soul.
Withdrawal to the security of loved ones. Stumbling on or triggering a memory. Stories told in safety. Creative space. A message from the past, for the future. Your body remembers; listen to its story. Deep pain is transformed into wisdom and understanding. An inheritance, legacy or heirloom. Having access to the tools and knowledge you need. Be gentle with who you were and strong about who you will become.
If you are feeling lost, confused or are asking what life is all about, then it may be the perfect time to consult your original self. The one you keep hidden while you grow up and supposedly wiser around it. The sweet, loving, innocent you is not lost. Deep down, you still are that person. The original you exists outside of time, safe and awaiting rediscovery.
Oracle reading from the deck “Sacred Earth Oracle”
Familial, Friendly, Romantic, Worldly or Planetary. Love wears many hats.
Often, the human will be laser focused on romantic love … why it is the way it is, where is it when it’s not present, sex, who will ‘the one’ be.
Rather than focusing on the pain of separation, loss, or lack, focus on the times spent together in care and love. They will usually always outnumber the negatives. (Remember to consider yourself and the love relationship you build there).
When a relationship ends, one of two things happen: The pair decides to be verbally or physically abusive, falling into hate or extreme dislike (which is terrible if there are children present), OR they remember what brought them together in the first place, the love and time together.
The shift into friendship from a romantic relationship can be tricky, emotions are like that. If done properly though, there will remain a bond that is strong.
Falling into blame games, whoever you are playing them with, is a waste of power. Using your inherent Creator energies to generate dis-ease and argument is an incredible misuse of creator talent and skill.
There are many areas of life that include love in all its varieties. See them. Feel them.
What world do you want to live in? One of mutual respect and honor, even when paths separate? Are you willing to do what it takes to remain in a place of love? It simply feels better, and is worth the inner work to make it happen.
Energies generated from a loving heart do more for the world than blame and punishment ever could. Love benefits the whole.
Notice polarities within you: attitudes, likes and dislikes, emotions rising and falling. Once you recognize them in you, it will be easier to spot in others, acting accordingly to your ‘trained’ awareness.
Never throw love away. The flow and form will always shift, yet love should remain present through it all.

*Please note: you can read the italicized portion only, or the regular font only, or both for a fuller reading.
Put yourself forward. Stand in the sun. Reach out. Stretch yourself little by little, grow strong and LIVE!
In a fleeting moment of grace, in the space between your thoughts, you glimpse a silent bliss that is beyond words or description. This all-encompassing love is your soulful, spiritual center. It is without beginning or end. Reach for it, and this state of grace shall be a guiding light in this world and beyond. It is life … it is eternal.
You are you, in your own right, not as a reflection of circumstance, expectation or assumption. Define and trust yourself. A clear and simple answer betrays the true complexity of an issue. Resist the temptation to take someone or something at face value. A pattern of behavior reveals more than a single gesture. Go deeper, broader and higher to get a fuller perspective.
From the calm, neutral perspective of love, and free from the fear, guilt and judgement of this world, your higher self looks through the conflict and drama of the physical world and sees hidden meaning and purpose. From a distance, present chaos looks perfectly ordered. Seek greater awareness. Tune into the depths of your heart to find heavenly peace.
Know what you want and do what works. Refine your abilities. Transfer a skill set from one environment to another. Do not underplay what you are capable of. Give up the idea that you must be good at everything. Narrow your interests and build on your existing strengths to conserve output and increase your value. A creative response to change will see you flourish.
There is a higher purpose to everything, but currently it is not clear. Something in your life is changing, and it is unsettling. Soon, the pieces of the puzzle will start falling into place, and you will begin to find meaning in it. For now, trust in the refinement process, hone your ability for love and develop your capacity for compassion. As taints fall away, the truth becomes clearer.
Give yourself or someone else the space to heal, think, create or contemplate. Hold space as a gentle, non-judgmental and supportive presence. Nothing needs to happen instantly. Pull back, trust and respect the boundaries and processes of others. Pushing for a result will not get you what you want in the long term. Choose your destiny, and let others choose theirs.
Across space and time, multidimensional world’s exist beyond human concepts of love, hate, right and wrong. Bliss, creativity and infinite peace are tucked away in the hidden dimensions of our souls where all is possible and all are welcome. Childlike innocence, curiosity and a little dreaming are all it takes to reach these worlds. Close your eyes and be there.
Confront your ideas about a situation, a relationship or yourself. Poke, dare and test your expectations. If it is real, it will remain. Be honest, reflective and determine if an accepted truth is truly serving you and those you care about. Consenting to things turning out okay, is settling for less. Expect more for yourself and your circle. Let go of what you know to make way for wisdom.
Inspiration breaks through expectation like a lightning bolt. It awakens inside you, shatters doubt and fills your life with creative energy. Every day you are the creator of a new world – be the creator of a fairer, more inspiring and positive one. Shift perception, raise expectation and burst into a new horizon. Hope anticipates better days ahead. Happiness makes better days, today.
It is up to you to acknowledge an obstacle as impermanent. Regardless of who is to blame, it is your responsibility to defy a false limitation. A quirk or idiosyncrasy is a strength: bring it out and own it. Individuality is a precious gem. Throw your woes into the smelting pot and craft them into powerful tools. Experiment with what you have and give it value.
Life is a perpetual movement, and yet, life is also still. Life is change, and yet, it is also unchanging. You are part of this moving stillness, changing and unchanging through time and eternity. Something is moving within a still part of you, and yet, something is still within the moving part of you. Meditate on this. Feel complete oneness in your being.
**Reading from the Sacred Earth Oracle created by Toni Carmine Salerno & Leela J. Williams
“Life will get very perverted, and there will be little social order in these times. Many will ask for the mountains themselves to fall upon them just to end their misery. Still others will appear as if untouched by what is occurring.”
Lately, I’ve made it a specific intention that I notice my self-talk, and when negative, instantly (or as soon as I recognize it) “re-do” the comment with something of a positive nature.
I am honestly surprised at how many of these nearly invisible phrases show up. I consider myself someone who has done a lot of inner work, yet recently have discovered I’m on the next level … the next ‘cycle’ where it seems that I’ve regressed in some ways, but no … it is the beginning of next cycle.
Choice has it … and I have choice. Will I continue the journey on the same path as previous, or will I move forward. And perhaps, moving forward sometimes feels like regression, only because it has occasional similar traits as the previous cycle, or experience.
Progress ~ It can be difficult to spot if one is too involved in beating ones self up because of the perception of no forward (or ‘upward’) momentum.
Recognize your cycles. Don’t get hung up on the details, note the larger picture of progression and you will see it more clearly.
Just today I caught myself, and thankfully, it is getting easier, quicker, to see.
I stated,
“You already finished it … you dork!”
Immediately I caught that I had called myself a dork. (NEVER speak harshly or negatively to yourself about self, not even if you are ‘joking’).
Rephrase!!
“You are SO efficient you’ve already completed that project, you’re amazing!”
**Multi-tasking … it can getcha every once and again**
Yet through it all, remember to pay attention to your talk, external as well as internal. That’s where it all begins, after all.
And as you know, internal dialogue is one of the loudest!
