Inner Flame

04/07/2020

Hello, dear ones. While Inner Flame is on hiatus, we’ve consolidated most of our activity into our main Frog Moon Hollow FB page. We’re posting here on ancestral healing and genealogy, Bach essences and herbalism, divination and spellwork, energy and sound healing, music, crystal work, and simply the beauty of our natural environment here at the Hollow. We’ll also be starting up the daily oracle card again. We hope you’ll come over and join us.

Frog Moon Hollow is a magical place where nature spirits peek around every corner & frogs rule the roost. It exists, tucked away in the woods of VT. And it exists in the heart of all who seek the magic & the wonder.

A misty, mystical day on the mountain. The mountain spirit’s message for you today is to take things at face value. Don’t look for deeper motives or meaning. You’ve done the work. You’ve done the analysis and sorted it all out. Things are just as they seem. Keep it simple and you will shine.

Your rainy Labor Day card is...Thinker. Strategize. Analysis and logic are your friends today. But don’t over implicate things or look for a deeper meaning—what you see is really what you get. You have all the info you need. Keep it simple and success will come.

The Oracle has been very busy this week cooking up something new! 😉 But today’s card is Giraffe, reversed/protection. Are you reaching too high, thinking of only the big picture (or big, overwhelming problem) and not giving value or energy to the small steps you can take right now? Get some perspective and take action, no matter how small it seems. Small steps can create big change ❤️

Feel called to jump decks today. So, we’re pulling from Colette’s Wisdom of the Oracle (aka WOTO), the deck she uses in all of her teaching. And we got...Soul Mates, reversed. This deck does have reverse or “protection” meanings. This one tells us that an important relationship will bring you to your knees. But it comes with a sacred gift. This person is here to help you learn how to release and heal old patterns and hurts, even if it feels hard & hellish right now. Ask not “why is this happening?” but “what is the gift here?” and you will open up & transform for the better.

Today’s card from the Crystal Spirit deck is Rose Quartz, reversed. And I think you know what that means...self-love, self-love, and did I mention...SELF-LOVE!!! Today, give yourself what you think you’ve been needing from others. You are your own greatest gift ❤️

Some great info on tomorrow night’s Sturgeon Full Moon from the folks at Goddess Provisions. And fab Sturgeon Moon artwork!

So you say you want a revolution, goddesses?

This Aquarian ♒️ Full Moon on August 15th (8:29 am EST / 05:29am PST) opposes Mars in Leo, setting the stage for us to rise up, fired up to fight for the causes that strike a chord.

Here’s our cosmic download about this full Moon…

The August Full Moon name, the “Sturgeon Moon,” is rooted in the Native American traditions. It was during this time in the wheel of the year that the waters of the great lakes would become abundant with this life-sustaining catch. However, due to overfishing these mighty creatures now face endangerment — another cry for help, asking us to take stock of humanity’s impact on the natural world around us.

Whatever issues plaguing the collective that get you most riled up (and there are plenty to choose from), let the current astrology inspire you to be direct and ACT in the name of freedom for all. Embodied perfectly by the words of Lilla Watson, an Aboriginal elder & activist: “If you have come here to help me you are wasting your time, but if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”

In the midst of our communal revolutions, the Sun is conjunct Venus in Leo. These Venutian vibes ensure some big-hearted boldness to soften the personal moodiness that Mars might be throwing in the mix. This aspect brings relationships and need for connection to the forefront.

So find an outlet that acknowledges both your desire to be seen, with fiery motivation coursing through your veins. If you're not already part of the social activism realm, seek out like-minded change-makers and put this big energy into action instead of letting it spew out sideways.

Today’s card is reversed Hematite. Grounding, grounding grounding. Get back to the Earth, go out in the woods, spend time with animals. Will bring much-needed peace & calm. Lots of reversed cards this week! Sit up & take notice. The cards aren’t messing around...

Whoa! Did anyone feel those powerful shifts yesterday? A bit of a rollercoaster, but by the evening the energy was beautiful ❤️ Today’s card is Chrysocolla, reversed (again, in this deck reversed cards indicate that you REALLY need to hear and heed this!). And the message is SPEAK YOUR TRUTH!!! As long as it is authentic, honest, and coming from the heart, the time is ripe to cut through the noise and have your voice be heard.
