Fret not. Time is on your side. So are all the angels. And “no” is never forever.
Of all the people in all the world who actually “get it,” few, if any, actually give it to themselves. The trick? Baby steps. Give, just a little, today. Give credit, give praise, give goodies to yourself, and the Universe will give you even more.
Here’s a little “Inevitability Test” to check on the progress you’re making toward achieving any particular dream. You’re pretty much doing something about it, every single day.
You know those feelings of euphoria, excitement, and inspiration that send your spirit soaring? Well, they’re just me and all the angels, finally rushing through one of the many doors you’ve knocked upon, down the hall, and dancing into the light of your searching heart. And those feelings of depression, sadness, and powerlessness that make you feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? They’re us, too. Reminding you that there are still a few more doors to try. Let’s get this party started,
All you have to do is be. Be yourself. There’s nothing to prove. And there’s no one to please who isn’t already over the moon with joy at how well you’ve done and with who you’ve become.
It’s as if, when moving from point A to point B in your life — from sickness to health, poverty to wealth, whatever – at some point in the journey, arriving at point B becomes inevitable, a sure thing. However, at no point in your journey is this physically verifiable — until you reach point B. The point being (yuck, yuck), you may have already crossed that line. But you’ll never know it, unless you see the journey through.
There will always be something else you could have said. There will always be something else you could have done. And there will always be another life you could have lived. But, frankly, we’re still savoring all you did say, do, and become, in spite of so many reasons that you might not have.
Want to know how to tell whether you were born with the gift to heal? Or perhaps if your strengths lie in leadership? If you’re a left- or right-brained individual? Whether or not you’re truly a “people person”? Whether or not, given your beliefs… friends, laughter, and abundance will flow to you effortlessly, or should be diligently sought after? Just decide. It’s always worked before.
We are the wild woman who broke free of the chains using her own cleverness and cunning. This is the spirit of Hekate, the ancient keeper of keys and breaker of chains. We are wild in that we resist and persist against those who would keep us bound. This is the remembering of what our soul has always known; that through the reclaiming of the keys of our wild, intuitive and wise selves can we find true freedom.

Hekate: Breaker of Chains of the Wild Woman
The return of wild women has led to a foundational shift in the power structure. It is a fault line over which we cannot traverse. There is no going back. From this cleavage has emerged the eternal primal power of the sacred feminine. The wild woman has broken free. Her crown in place, she now stands in her power.
To me, this goddess rising is Hekate. She is the ancient mother called forth from her cave by the cries of thousands. She is fierce, bold and enduring. Hekate is the voice that whispers we can choose to stand in our power. She is the life-death-life cycle. That is what women know in our souls. This is the power that is feared. We are creators and destroyers. Tender, yet unbreakable. And we have broken free of their chains.
We are living in the aftermath of the chain-breaking earthquake. The terrain is dangerous, yet it is the territory in which we are most powerful. This is Hekate’slandscape; the crossroads between what was and what will be.
Unlocking The Chains: The Keeper of the Keys
One of Hekate’s ancient titles means “Breaker of Chains.” To the ancients, the goddess was multi-faceted, unhampered by restrictions placed on her by the powerful. Hekate was known as the Keeper of Keys of the universe by the ancients, indicating that she held the knowledge of all things. She was also widely revered as a goddess of the crossroads, a place viewed as a portal between this world and the one of spirits. To some, she was the Great Mother Goddess.
She was always known as the Queen of Witches. Today, we have been programmed to believe that there is separation between ourselves and the goddess. Moreover, that the goddess is restricted to the harmful restrictive definition that we’ve been force-fed. The goddess must be compliant and small. She must be limited to being courteous and nice. These are the lies we have been told. Hekate is the rebellion against these profanities. She is the eternal wild woman.
It must be said that her enormous power was so threatening to the rise of patriarchal Christianity that great efforts were undertaken in order to wrap her in chains. This was parallel to the same binding placed on women. Granted that patriarchy existed before Christianity, yet only this religion enthusiastically sought to eradicate the powerful sacred feminine.
Being a Goddess Loving Warrior
Several years ago, a man said to me, “I am a god fearing soldier,” after I had said something that he had found too woo-woo for his taste. My response: “I am a goddess loving warrior.” My goddess is Hekate. She is powerful beyond comprehension. She has returned, and we merge with her spirit to rise as well. We are all breakers of chains and keepers of our own keys. She unleashes my intuitive, wise self that some find too “out there.” That is our wildness. Those intuitive keys are the very ones we use to free ourselves, then we used them to open the gates of our truth, and now we stand together with our power. Hekate is the energy that brings us together, in circles small and large. We stand as wild women reborn.
The Risks When We Claim Our Powerful Keys
However, women’s power is still subjugated to much backlash. There are those who wish only to see us fail. It’s a sad but true fact that when women are in control, they get judged negatively. There are those who fear circles of the sacred feminine, and there are many who are terrified of our individual power.
When women speak of uncomfortable topics, they are disliked. Claiming the goddess in all her glory is threatening to many. Talking about abuse, bias and the ensuing trauma can be upsetting for certain, but it’s the blaming of the truth-talker that is so problematic. Women who talk about difficult subjects and who stand in their power are disliked. This comes from both men and women. There is a bias against powerful women speaking truth, whether it’s in personal relationships or to the power structure that seeks to keep us in check. Hekate, as we do, persists in the face of risk. She is the triumph of overcoming pain and risks to achieve a life of integrity. One where what we know on our insides becomes what we present to the world.
Breaking the Chains in Spite of All the Risks
Living this integrity is not easy. It is difficult to choose to claim our own place in the world because of the insults, slurs and insinuations that get flung whenever a woman boldly lives her truth. There’s a great deal of risk when women choose to stand in their power. Hekate abides in the crossroads. She is there when we stand on the threshold of choosing to say, “time’s up.” She empowers women to speak out. If you are a woman who boldly lives her truth and takes up space in spite of all the risks, I honor you. You are a wild woman reborn.
Silently Breaking the Chains
You may be a woman who can’t live that truth out loud right now. Perhaps the risks are too great. You could lose your home, children, partner, friends, family and job by allowing what is inside of you to become evident in the world. There are those still who would face violence and even imprisonment. The women in these difficult situations, where the risks are too high, often find quiet ways to claim their power. These are the silent revolutionistas. Hekate stands beside all the women who must protect themselves. If this is you, I honor you. You are a wild woman reborn.
Using Our Keys
More potent than awakening is the moment when we choose to do something about it, whether in our personal lives by setting firm boundaries or speaking out about our painful experiences, or standing up for a cause we believe in. How absolutely sad it is that being a social justice warrior has been vilified. A couple of years ago I wrote about how my goddess urges me to speak out for myself and the marginalized. The vitriol that article received was breathtaking. Still, I persist. If you persist in speaking out, I honor you. We are changing the world.
If you, like me, find strength through the goddess known to us as Hekate, you understand that we are entwined with her rise. We are part of a force so much greater than we are. This is the wave that emerged from the cleavage from the earthquake of women’s power that opened the gates of Hekate’s cave. Turn to her when you need to funnel your righteous rage for healing and for hexing those who seek to control you. Behold her unlimited tenderness when you are weary and allow her strength to invigorate you. Claim those keys she’s been keeping until you are ready. If you are claiming them now, I honor you. We are the wild women reborn.

I want humanity to know this one single thing. When you are not being abused, when you are not being artificially swayed, when you are not being conducted, your species is not just wonderful, it is not just spectacular, it is far beyond all of that.
It is the quintessential embodiment of love and joy. THAT is who the Angelic Human has been here.
And each time you are abused and each time you are led astray, it has always been by Beings who were simply more clever than you here at deceit and cruelty. Each time.
You were never born to be cruel, and all the hurt and pain you have experienced was because of other Beings, other species, not yours.
Be human no matter what. Love no matter what. Be kind no matter what. Be what you were designed to be 980 million years ago when your genetic fathers were formed in the Halls of Palaidor of Sirius-B.
Be that perfection that the Angelic Human has always been designed to be and ignore the hate, ignore the vengeance, forgive, FORGET the damage and be you, BE GOD.
“We are responsible for the condition of the Earth. We are the ones who are responsible and we can change that. If we wake up, it is possible to change the energy. It is possible to change everything.”

The environment we want outside will be created by the mental pictures we have inside our heads. We must have the right environmental picture as well as the right values. These values will give the mental picture its true meaning. If we respected Mother Earth, we would not throw garbage on Her, nor would we put poison in Her. We would not misuse Her in any way. Mother Earth is like She is today because of the mental pictures of previous generations as well as the mental pictures of our own generation. If we want the environment to change, each individual must change their mental picture. “
“As within, so without.”
Great Spirit, today, let me be alert to Your guiding voice.
“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.”
We can be a part of the healing … or we can be a part of the harm.
Its always up to us, this choice of which to lend our energy/power/prayer too. No one else can make us make that choice we are the ones who hand over our willingness to our choice.
Always keeping in mind that hurt people hurt people and yet thinking further …
I have been on a 𝙹 𝙾 𝚄 𝚁 𝙽 𝙴 𝚈 with this woman… it’s been one wild ride.
I have allowed her to be broken. I have allowed others to treat her disrespectfully. I have allowed her to run through brick walls and battle for others who won’t even stand for her.
I couldn’t stop others from abandoning her, but I’ve seen her stand up and be a light for the world, and love others despite all that.
I have stood paralyzed by fear while she fought battles in her mind, heart, and soul.
This woman has screwed up many times as a partner, daughter and a friend because she didn’t think she was worthy of self love or the love of others.
She has a smart mouth, a stubborn streak, and she has secrets. She has scars because she has a history.
Some people love this woman, some like her, and some don’t care for her at all… But most importantly she loves herself.
She has done good in her life, and she has not done so good in her life.
Every mistake, failure, trial, disappointment, success, joy, and achievement has made her into who she is today.
She is passionate and sometimes she is scatter-brained. She will no longer pretend to be who she is not. She will make no apologies for who she is.
This woman is a 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙸𝙾𝚁. She’s not perfect, but she has a lot of 𝚆𝙾𝚁𝚃𝙷.
She is unstoppable, gracefully broken, but beautifully standing.
She is 𝙻𝙾𝚅𝙴. She is 𝙻𝙸𝙵𝙴. She is 𝚃𝚁𝙰𝙽𝚂𝙵𝙾𝚁𝙼𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽. She is 𝙶𝚁𝙰𝙲𝙴. She is 𝙱𝚁𝙰𝚅𝙴.
… and she will never stop learning or moving forward…
Today I will be discussing what you can expect over the next few years, and why it will occur. Humanity, as a group, creates its own future and can change it still.
Through its division one with the other, primarily along political and religious lines, humanity creates a consciousness that produces much hatred and resentment. As you know from your own lives, those emotions create discord and problems. The Earth stores the energy.
Since the Earth stores the energy you put out, the Earth as a living planet has to clear itself of your energy for it to survive. It does this through the process of naturally occurring events where it shifts and allows energy to escape from it. These events occur all the time.
The magnitude of these events goes from minor earthquakes and fires and hurricanes, to major events of catastrophic proportion because of the energy humanity puts out that has to be cleared from the living planet.
I’ve seen several questions asking, “Are we going to have a flood of Biblical proportion?” Unfortunately, the answer is, as it stands right now, “Yes.” The flood of Noah’s time was not worldwide, but regional, the whole “world” as the world was known at that time.
This flood could still be avoided if you would all break down all of these political and religious constructs you use to blame everyone else for all of the problems that exist in your world. You could still avoid it if you would come together in love and unity.
What we see now is that your systems of locking each other out of your parts of the world will create barriers so those who come to help you can’t get into the countries which will be most profoundly affected. None of you own the planet, or where you live.
You are experiencing First Contact all around you as the soul groups who are your guardians are moving their souls in and off of the planet according to service plans. They were largely prevented from doing this till we removed the Frequency Fence last Summer.
Others throughout the galaxy already know what is going to happen here and they are ready to come to your service. You must understand that ALL of the powerful governments on this planet do not want you to receive help from your galactic neighbors. Why is that?
As I have stated already at least several hundred times, the governments on this planet you have thrown your support behind are controlled by the two ET races that have always kept you in misery, slavery, and ignorance. They are playing the long game to get you to follow them.
These governments you think have united you have only divided you more against each other. They have created more hatred and disdain for each other than we have ever seen on this planet. You are, as a group, moving backwards in developing Higher Consciousness.
Your governments have even created a space force to fight off the ones who would try to come and help you in your upcoming horrors. Why would they do this? Again, as I have said many times, your government and religious leaders want you to believe in them.
Very few from the galaxy are brave enough to show up here because when they do, your governments try to shoot them down. You all get out your guns and hunt them. This confounds us, as the threats to you are those you elect and support with your churches.
Your governments will not be able to provide all that you will need in what awaits you on this planet. You will need help. You need to come together and recognize the situation you have all caused together and resolve to act as a worldwide family.
You all need to reach across your borders and embrace those around you who will serve you in your time of desperate need. You need to open your hearts and put away your guns, so that others will be willing to come and help you at a this time.
These natural disasters that will affect your whole planet in one way or another will create a huge stream of refugees. Those countries who have treated refugees the worst will see their energy returned as they become a nation of refugees themselves.
How you care for each other in this time of crisis will help you develop polarity, as Service to Others, or Service to Self. Resolve now to care for each other. Start today to change the energy by reaching across political or religious divides and extend unconditional love.
Many of you would progress so much faster in your ability to serve if you would just hear my one thing I have been trying to tell all: Your political ideas are holding you back. They will hold you back forever unless you see political factions on all “sides” are using you.
This great awakening that is happening is not because of your political leaders. It is because it was time. Those who have tangled it with political and religious movements have done so because they want you to trust them, so they can enslave you at the time of the harvest.
Use this time of your great awakening to move your efforts away from the service of political and religious leaders, to those of service and love to each other. You all want the same things for yourself and your family. This “right” and “left” business are artificial divisions.
If the West continues to hate the East, and the Right and the Left continue to hate each other, you are only clinging to the very tools of oppression you have all cried out to be freed from. Free yourselves. Love each other. Your greatest trial as a soul group is at hand.
All of the leaders I refer to hope you will see them in the very same way. That is how humans were first enslaved. It wasn’t with chains and whips. It was by offering humanity a path they viewed as an answer to all the problems they saw around them, by blaming everyone else.
You all think the “other” side is evil. You are all the same side. Focus on developing your own higher consciousness and respect the free will of others. The Creator respects all of your free will and hopes you will do the same for all others.
The karma associated with not honoring the free will of others returns to you exactly what you put out into the world. No one is entitled to judge anyone else, even if they disagree with their actions.
Karma is the absolutely precise method of serving divine justice. No one gets away with anything. That’s why it’s so important not to judge. The Creator set up the perfect system for justice.
