The Gift
hi im Ashley Graves a golden brown girl from buffalo NY where it’s only sunny 90 days out the year and you know sun brings life. In my past life I believe I was either a psychic, gypsy, witch or some type of human or prophet that knew the future... I feel this way because of the dreams I have. I also believe it is a gift to even be able to dream let alone remember them.

Mirror Dragon Tarot week#5 2020
Reading for 1-27 thru 2-2-20 The Center card this week is the Knight of Swords. I see the Knights of the Tarot as leaders and way-finders. They stride forward to clear a path for those who follow. They’re confident, sure footed and fully aware of the prospects, pitfalls and possibilities of the suit they represent. As the suit of Swords relates to air, we find the focus of the week centering around our thinking and the ways in which we communicate with others. The electrical fluidity of our brain power is running high and ideas and thoughts flow easily. Perhaps too easily for those folks who tend to get confused or caught up in details, but if we’re able to accept and grasp the confidence of this smart and practical Knight we may find that the tangles of detail are easily combed through. As our thoughts and plans solidify we find ourselves in need of clear and understandable ways to communicate what’s important to us and why. This clarity can pop up in relationships, at work, in meditation and even dreams so it looks like we’ll have the chance to express ourselves clearly in whatever situations we face.

Consciousness
Do you feel it? Have you been feeling different lately? Having new insights, inspiriations, awarenesses, feeling like you are waking up from a dream? Don't worry, many of us have. I cannot speak for everyone, but besides myself, I have been speaking to lots of people who are having these same experiences right now, and have been for years. It's just that now, we are really feeling it and shifting into a new state of being, a new paredigm. One of being more present, more conscious of everything, more deepening into the True Self, becoming aware that there is a deeper part of ourselves that is connected to everything and everyone. Myself, and many have been feeling, on some level, we have been unconscious or asleep our whole lives, compared to now. Yep, we are in the great awakening, a spiritual revolution, and we have never been here before. Shadow energy has been revealing itself all over the planet, in our own personal lives and on much grander scales in the world, as we are all witnessing everyday. This is not a coincidence. Shadow reveals the Light. Every spiritual teacher, healer and awakened person, all the astrology, and books that have been written 2,000 years ago, for these times, have all been staying the same thing. Spiritual teachings are coming out everywhere to help us open up to who we really are. We are living for these times and it's epic, and it's hard. Speaking with others about their experience with this, we are all in synch. We are realizing, with what we know now, that we made choices in our lives from the wounds of our shadow. Shadow, meaning the wounds of being in the body - trauma, drama, and pain, from being attached to these material wounding and living our lives through the veil of these injuries. Hurt people, hurt people. When we self judge, we judge others. When we mistrust ourselves, we mistrust others, when we don't feel worthy, we make others not feel worthy, so on and so forth. For several years now, collectively, we have been in the process of healing and letting go of ancestral wounding, and wounding of the body, mind and spirit. Until now, we humans, this go around at least, have been programed to identitify only with the body and material world. Thank you Industrial Age! What's happening now, is that we are being asked by Creator, Divine Source Energy, the Universe, God, All that is - whatever your name is for it, to find our connection back to it and to what we return to when we leave our body, Spirit, Creator, Divine Source Energy, etc... We are finally seeing the illusion of what the Industrial Revolution, Religion, and Institution has force fed us and controlled our thinking with. All of these things have dismembered us from our True Self. We cannot find ourselves outside of ourselves. We are so much more this this body and this material realm, and we are waking up to that fact now. Perhaps it has taken us to become on the brink of survival ourselves, to wake up to our Divinity and the Divine Love that flows and connects us to everyone and everything. Wow! What if we all woke up from the illusion of separation and saw our Divinity and the Divinity in everyone and everything. It would be a different world with a different experience indeed.

Mirror Dragon Tarot week#4 2020
Reading for 1-20 thru 1-26-20 The Center card for the week is the Prince of Pentacles. With the determination and stubborn focus of this Prince we find the energy to dig in and make definitive declarations about what we want, what we need and how we’ve decided to go about getting it. The drive to get moving sets us in the position of the way clearer, like a bulldozer moving ahead without regard to any obstacles we might meet along the way. If the position we find ourselves in is one of breaking out of a shell of old feelings of responsibility or duty or even guilt this headstrong determination is the best thing we could ask for and likely necessary to get going in the direction we choose. If, however, it's because we feel snubbed or jealousy has reared its ugly green head there can be a need for discretion that might be missed in the fervor of plowing ahead, and this could lead to misunderstandings or out and out blow ups that really don’t need to happen. Though the desire to get going will likely be strong, an intentional slow down to have the chance to get in touch with the deeper reasons for the movement could go a long way in removing obstacles before they become walls to break through.

Fairy Gardens
Fairy Gardens are something that stirs the imagination with anyone and everyone that knows what they are and what they do for such a thing ignites the fires of innocence within us through our inner child. Be it in the making of one or even in just looking at one, the Fairy Gardens made by anyone, young and old, can bring about a sense of magic into our world that is so unique and so beautiful.

Energy Healing
Energy healing is something that has been around for millennia and features in almost every single culture that has ever existed upon this Earth. From the ancient Egyptian priests and priestesses, of whom would act as physical embodiments of the Gods to provide healing to those in need; to some of the most prolific cultures of the modern day following the beliefs of a messiah that could provide hands-on-healing to those who asked him to.

Candle Magic
Candles have burnt on the altar spaces for countless millennia in honour of various deities, to manifest change in the world and indeed, just to bring some physical light to the space or home. They have been used as beacons for change and indeed many of them have been consecrated over the years with such intentions.
