Merry Christmas Eve, Chickadee!
Well, tomorrow is the BIG day, but before we jump to the future, take a moment to sink into the present moment with me. Now, I would like you to think back over the month thus far.
What has been wonderful? What have the hiccups and “oops” moments been? What have been your favorite moments?
If you remember, on December 3rd, we chose an alternative path- a path of love, joy, merriment, and the Christmas spirit. At the start of the month, I had you call in your spiritual family- Spirit, your spirit guides, and ancestors, to help you.
I also pulled three oracle cards for three spirit guides for the month. They were…
Kyle Gray’s Angels and Ancestors Oracle Cards:
Guardian Angel- You Are Not Alone
Animal Spirits Knowledge Cards paintings by Susan Seddon Boulet:
Panther- magic, darkness, death
The black panther symbolizes strength through honesty and truth. Because of the panther’s ability to navigate within darkness unseen, he teaches the skill of removing masks and seeing things for what they are (truth).
Panther is not deceptive as he moves through the jungle but rather his very nature is what empowers him, and that is the skill and message he has for you. You too are powerful in your own right. You possess the ability and strength to see situations and people for who they are and to present yourself in authenticity. You can do this.
Archangel Fire Oracle by Alexandra Wenmen:
Archangel Ariel- Strength of Heart
Message for Archangel Ariel: “Have courage and faith in yourself and your beliefs I will help you stand up for yourself and defend anyone who needs your strength of heart.”
Archangel Ariel is head of the nature angels with close ties to the fairies, nymphs, and elements so I would not be surprised if they have mad their presence known to you this month.
Known as the “Lioness of God,” she is not only about strength and courage but about the strength that comes from knowing when to walk away. For she can help to shield you from people who are vexing or confrontational. Sometimes when dealing with someone who is not in touch with their ears, it is best to walk away, because even if you said the smartest thing in creation, they still would not hear you or understand.
If at anytime this month you feel as if you are struggling with your ideas or beliefs call in Archangel Ariel to stand by your side and offer you strength with whatever the situation is.
Our Spiritual Family:
It can be easy to fall into the habit of living life utilizing only our five senses. But when we deny the truth of things we cannot see, we limit the potential that is inherent to all of life.
We cannot see love, we cannot see Santa Claus, we cannot see our spiritual family- but this does not mean that they don’t exist. For when we close our eyes and open up, we can feel love, we can feel the Christmas spirit, we can feel our family standing by our side.
Our spiritual family is made up of Spirit, our spirit guides, our ancestors, and I often throw in our celestial family as well (Pleiadians, Lemurians, etc.). They have stood by your side all month, and all the months before, and they will continue to aid, guide, support, and keep you safe.
Speaking of spiritual family, I have been asked by my spirit guides to make a special mention at this time about one set of our spiritual family, our ancestors. To explain a little about how that works.
Our Ancestors:
While we have reincarnation and can be born into many family lines, we as souls still care about our family. And as souls we have eternity. So, sometimes when we die, we can choose to remain and become a member of a person’s spiritual family.
With the knowledge possessed as a spirit guide, they can support and guide those they love. For love never has to die.
Speaking personally, I have an ancestor dating back to the period of the Aztec Empire who stands with me as he teaches me about being a medicine woman.
Another wonderful example comes from a story that was shared with me. A soldier was the sole survivor of his unit, and every member of his unit chose to stay behind and be with him.
For when you have eternity, what’s a couple decades with the ones you love?
If you have lost someone or have heard stories of a grandparent or even great-grandparent don’t be surprised if they show you signs that they are here, for you. For you are important, special, and at all times loved.
Give Thanks:
I don’t know about you, but I feel better knowing that my spiritual family is here with me. I often call on them many times a day to help me, guide me, and sometimes “make it all better.”
So, before the clock strikes midnight, take a moment today to express your appreciation and gratitude for your spiritual family. Invite them to celebrate Christmas with you.
And remember Chickadee, that you are loved.
Merry Christmas Eve!
