Mystic Monday

Hi All,

This year New Year’s Eve is on the New Moon. What all does that mean? Well let’s recap what the New Moon means to our energy. Now I know we do this every month, but let’s go over it and then tie it to the New Year falling on the same night.

The “new moon” what’s it all mean? Well, physically in the sky it is the start of the moon growing to its fullest. It’s the first night of the waxing moon cycle. It is a time to release everything that is no longer serving your highest good. The new moon signals a time for new beginnings and opening new doors. For me, the new moon is a time to honor that which no longer serves my highest good. I usually write out what it is I want released from my energy and ask the universe to bless, heal, and return it to a more positive form. Then I say a little prayer of “Thanks” for helping me to see the lessons I had to learn from whatever it is I’m releasing, so that I can bring in new. There is no right or wrong way to do a ritual to release and let go of your past.

The New Year is traditionally a time to shut the door to the old year and anything in it you wish to leave. People traditionally use this time to think about what they want to bring into the New Year and do some goal setting. 

From what I’ve been reading we are in this shift of energy. I’m going to go out on a limb here and invite you all to comment on what I’m about to present with this time of year and this new moon coming this week.

Christmas energy is usually difficult for me to handle because the veil thins out like it does at Halloween but for a longer period of time. But this year has been different. Strange things have been going. Now I know strange for me has to be out there because of all that I do in my life but things have been happening and I’m wondering if any psychics and healers who read this can chime in and shed some light. As of now I’m chalking it all up to the energy coming in when we all change to 2014. I have had activity in my home. Now I know there is nothing paranormal in my home but it’s been kinda Ghost Whisperish with energies popping in and out. Then around Christmas I get slammed with past relationship energy hard. So on advice from friends who are intuitive healers I’ve started to ask myself this one question and follow through with it: “Is this for my highest good?” I’ve used this to release people who are not, and when I think of them or get hit by memories or energy then I pose the question to myself again and bless the lesson and move on. 

I am wondering if this hard core releasing of energy that doesn’t serve the highest good is an intense cleansing for what is to come in with the New Year? 

Answer or theory anyone?

Happy New Year All and Blessed New Moon.

We are going to take the month of December to talk about traditions and holidays.

Let’s start with some dates.

December 17^th is a Tuesday and the night of the Full Moon. Manifesting energy is at its peak. Ask for your highest good, the things you’d like to come forth in your life and ask for it on this night.

December 21^st is a Saturday and Winter Solstice and the day of Yule. 

Here is where we will begin today. Now some of our traditions come from the old way of worshiping when people gave prayer and thanks to Gods and Goddesses that revolved around the growing seasons and Mother Earth and the Sun. Wicca and Pagan traditions follow these old ways. Many of these celebrations were incorporated into Christian celebrations as people were urged to convert to Christianity. For me, I tend to celebrate with a little of both. I was brought up Catholic and do believe some of what I was taught, yet I’ve merged some of the old ways with my celebrations because I do believe there is a Goddess or a Mother aspect to God.

Yule/Winter Solstice

This year Saturday the 21^st marks Winter Solstice or Yule. It is the shortest day of the year and the first official day of Winter. The days from here on out will get longer as the sun makes its loop back toward Mother Earth.

 

This was the time for Yule celebrations. Yule is Winter Solstice and the celebration of the Sun’s return. It was a time of bonfires in the fields and toasting the land with cider. Gifts of apples and oranges placed in baskets lined with evergreens were given to family and friends as symbols of the sun and rebirth as evergreens never die from season to season.

Some plants of the season include:

Holly:  A spring of Holly kept at or near the door of a home all year long is a constant invitation for good fortune to visit the home. Holly also protects and repels unwanted spirits. It is a symbol of everlasting life.

Yew:  Is the symbol of regenerations and rebirth. It is deeply connected with the spirit realms and the ancestors.

Pine:  Brings healing and joy to the home. Burning it will purify the home.

The Yule log was a tradition and can still be kept for good luck. The yule log must be found on the household lands or given as a gift. One must never purchase the log. It must then be decorated with a ceremony with greenery and covered in cider or ale then dusted with flour before it is set in the fire place and set on fire with a piece from last year’s log to light it. Yule logs were left to burn and smolder for 12 days. Traditionally yule logs were Ash wood.

Yule is also the time for celebration of the Nativity and the birth of Jesus.

Now, after researching Yule there are many good resources and I’ve come across many that tie the old ways into Christmas celebrations.

Next week we will talk a little more about traditions and decorations, along with celebrating this magical time of the year.

Blessings All and have a fabulous week!

Mystic Monday

 

Hi All,

 

 

 

Okay, one date real quick Friday the 18^th is the Full Moon so do your manifesting!

 

 

So this week we are going to continue with ghost stories.

This photo is the one that helped launch Stevens Point Paranormal. Here’s the photo (yep the hair is horrible, I had just taken it out of a ponytail)

And now the story behind the photo:  A friend of mine  (Rob) from Stevens Point, WI wanted to go out and see if I could pick up on any local Stevens Point urban legends. We had two cameras and his research on local haunts. This photo was taken at the Bloody Bride Bridge on Hwy 66 outside of Steven Point going toward Rosholt, WI. The Bloody Bride appears to cars at night (of course, midnight). Sometimes she stands on the bridge, and sometimes she is in the backseat of the car. It is said she was on her way to her wedding when her car went over the bridge and she met an untimely death.

So Rob and I went down to the park where there is a trail that leads to the river and the bridge just upstream. We discovered this bench so I sat on it and started to channel and this is the lovely picture Rob took of me looking like I’m going to explode. But really I was pushing energy because my hands were all pins and needles, a feeling I get when I’m energy working. Now as I began to open up so I could communicate with any ghosts look what appears on my left. You can see a lighter color outline of a woman sitting next to me. At this time my hands were on fire and Rob was busy snapping pictures. This photo once posted was seen by Freddie, the founder of Stevens Point Paranormal Club. He saw the photo and wanted to know about the trip and then invited me to work with the club.

Ruins of Summerwind Mansion in Vilas County, WI

I was invited to Summerwind for a day and couldn’t say no. Who could, I mean it's the most haunted place in Wisconsin come on…  I’m so there!

Well, we arrived and I didn’t shield quick enough and ended up almost sick. I jumped out of the car real quick for air and as I walked behind the car I heard a man say the Deed is not on the property. Well okay, I yelled to Devon, a friend I was with, “Hey, what does the deed is not on the property mean to you?” 

She yelled back, “Who told you that?” 

I yelled, “Some dude, Why? What’s he talking about?” 

She said the story was that the deed to the house was somewhere on the property. Now, I’m not a big Summerwind buff; Devon however is. Check out The Haunting Experience.

While we were there we had a few experiences of communicating with ghosts. A few weird smells going on and a few strange sounds were heard. One person who joined us was there to return a part of the foundation rock that was taken and bad luck followed the person throughout the time they had it. He threw the rock back to the foundation in hopes the bad luck would stop.

There is an entire story attached to this about a haunting in the house and a murder. And a body that was found in the house, but disappeared when the police came out to investigate it.

Now a friend of mine was at a party there when the house was standing in the late 80’s. She said they felt someone push when they were on the staircase. She said there was a set of headlights following them out the driveway when they were the last car in the party to leave. When they got to the end of the driveway the lights were gone.

 

According to Freddy a good paranormal investigator will take a few shots close together in order to prove things are there or not. So this was the parking lot of a local pub between Plover, WI and Wisconsin Rapids on Hwy 54. The first shot was taken just before the second. Mist was in the second. We tried to recreate the mist by blowing in the cold and taking a photo of our breath but it didn’t work to debunk this photo. Now the employees at this establishment  have several stories about a mist out in the parking lot by the garbage cans. The funny thing is, when we were out there you couldn’t see anything with the naked eye. It all showed up on the photos we took.

This is a photo of the same place; now there is a mist at the top of the photo and there is what appears to be the torso of a ghost. Now to me he looks like he has a white shirt, black or dark coat and a red tie, smaller head with a hat. He kinda reminds me of Jake Blues from the Blues Brothers. Again, it is a mist and not a fireplace or our breath. The night was subzero when we were there. We were outside for only 5 minutes at a time.

This place also has a history of having mobsters stay there. There were cottages where they kept “women” on the property. The club now is a very cozy eatery. The local ghost “Melvin” likes to play pranks and bug the ladies on staff and in the bar. www.stevenspointparanormal.com has EVP’s (Disembody voices on voice recorders) and photos of our investigation from the night and updates. While communicating with Melvin here a member on the team had a camera that showed heat in different colors. When I was channeling and asked Melvin to hold my hand to use some Reiki I was channeling to help him communicate, my hands went from red to blue at the same time I told the other person with me my hands were getting cold. Two people witnessed the color change on the camera. It was very exciting.
October 26^th I will be with Stevens Point Paranormal Club at Kristin’s Riverwalk as we host the Second Annual Ghost Tours around Stevens Point. Come out and learn some local history and see some local haunted places.

Go to www.stevenspointparanormal.com to get tickets and information. I will be doing Angel card readings from 6pm to lam.

More next Monday!
 

Blessings All,
