“April’s Aphrodite”

A digital alchemy collage by
Artist Shelley Sophia Crawford, April 2022

April, in the Roman calendar is spelled Aprilis, meaning "to open”, to flower expand and discover ones self renewed, in the renewing land as spring surges into blossom. Recently I came across this paining, by John William Godward, of a woman lounging in her yellow shift, it reminded me of that relaxed feeling one can have on a warm spring day. As I have been longing for the deep greens and bright yellows, and soft pinks of spring, I felt drawn to bring some really bright colors of spring into the picture. May we find joy, love and inspiration in these laden times. As spring shares her lovely emergence with us, may Aphrodite visit the altars of our hearts, and bless us with her beauty, that we find ourselves renewed, in matters of love, co-creation, and health.

What path have you chosen for dreaming into being your reality?

IMG_20160819_131435_484.jpg

The time is now!

What path have you chosen for dreaming into being your reality?

The Hopi Prophecies foretold that there was a point ahead for humanity in which our world views would split. Some would choose the path of living from the one Heart ahead of them was a future life with Gaia, and good corn growing

The others would choose, the descending path, their hearts would be split in two, and their world view would descend into chaos.

At this point of the split we are given the opportunity to choose which path we will stand on and walk. It’s a covenant between you and creation.

Have you noticed- how rapidly things have changed in recent months? How polarized the view points have become.

Personally I feel this is our juncture beloveds. What will you choose? Not with your head, but with your heart? This takes a very stead fast listening to your internalized sovereign knowing. (Wondering what I mean by this? Let’s explore the conversation, in the comments)

All kinds of energies, ideologies, belief systems and power players and personal view points are biding for our buy in. The unrooted, are seeking your soul energy, because they are disconnected. It may even be that they want to distract you from your sovereignty, so you feel confused, distracted, traumatized even, so you don’t choose... and your energy gets pulled toward the downward chaos path, along with all the confusing backwards thinking.

These energies haven’t discovered yet the distinction that they get to choose love, and connection. But you as an individual can make this choice.

Stand clear, of polarization and extreme points of view. Reference yourself in the sacred, in love, in the earth, in your family and community..

in your innate and holy knowing.

(Wake up Jedis- you’ve got work to do)

From this place, we will travel together, building a beautiful understanding of why we are here, our commitment to life, and clarity will be an energy that is clearly felt. This feeling won’t be a fad or a trend, it won’t come from any one special group or hip “in crowd”, it will just emanate from the individuals who have chosen. And we will be able to recognize each other.

Trust! Choose! Dream!

Winter Solstice 2020

IMG_7215.jpg

"Winter Rose" by Ursala LeGuin

I am the stem of my own Rose

and the root of the rowan tree

At dawn of the cold solstice

the rose blooms red

I am root and blind thorn

of the rowan and the rose

I am once born

and born blind

But See

the bare boughs

bright with berries

and the birds are fed.

“May the earths energies rise and bless humanity

At this time

For she and we are one”

ROSE & FIRE LIGHTING CEREMONY

Prep: A fire is prepared in pit but not lite

One special YULE Log is placed by the Altar.

An Altar is pre Prepared: with these items placed on it:

*one large candle

*incense

*a bowl of water

*a bouquet of Roses

*a plate of Chocolate

Ritual: Just after the Sun goes down the men Gather in in a separate circle from the women, and are each given a small candle, one Man will be given a larger Candle that is already lit, the others will light theirs at the fire pit. At the same time the women circle around the fire pit, and each woman is handed two Roses. Then women hold hands and begin to ground and anchor the energy in the darkness. The song “the Rose” plays. When that song completes. The next Song... the “Light is Returning” comes on that is the men’s cue to walk to the circle and surround the women. Women turn and face the men. The man with the candle lights the candle on the Altar with his candle, then a woman pics up the Altar candle turns towards the next man in the circle and lights his candle, and then hands him a Rose. Then hands the candle to the next woman who then lights the next mans candle and on and one until all the men’s candles are lite, and all the men and women are holding a Rose. (Here comes the Sun plays as Then the center fire is lite. Then some prayers or sharings are made, the Yule log is offered to the fire (need to figure out the music for this part).... and then we offer Rose petals to the fire and pass the chocolate Hug each other and close the circle .

This ritual is about first honoring the depth and darkness ( as it is the longest night) the women embody this depth as they stand in the circle holding their Roses and listening to “the Rose Song”....but then as a community we are inviting back the returning of the light, symbolized by the lighting of our candles and then the fire. The Yule log, is especially representing our commitment to loving and honoring all that sustains us. The rose petals offered, are our commitment to offering both our beauty and the things we need to release into the fire of transformation and rebirth of the light. In this way we prepare ourselves spiritually to dream deeper, into the fertile earth, as we await the inspiration of spring.

In the Heart of Me - A Poem

Collage_by_Shelley Sophia Crawford.JPG

In the Heart of me

A droplet in the ocean our endless collective sea.

Even if you don’t hear me, it doesn’t mean I don’t see.

A vision of remembering it’s burning to set us free.

A Lion in the Heart of me, it’s purring can’t you see. 

A fusion in the mystery awakens you and me.

Just standing Here, Now 
under this Ancient and Sacred Tree. 

A Rose in the center,

a riddle in the mind,

a path thru the forest that takes us out of time.

A river, a fountain and a breeze like a memory, that soothes away the centuries. 

Its in the silence

we touch the living history.

Digital Alchemy Collage & Poem by Shelley Sophia Crawford

What reflections are manifesting in your life as we move thru this powerful Full Moon/ Imbolc gateway? What fills your Chalice? What drains your Juice?
