Happy Halloween and Full Moon

Everything that is fun and exciting about Halloween has been given a big burst of awesome energy thanks to the Full Moon tonight. I LOVE Halloween. It is the one time of year we can all be whomever we wish. It is FUN to get a little scared. This energy has a lovely mischievous side to it. Oh it is so delicious. So freeing. This is a good moon to charge your crystals, tarot decks or anything else you wish to, including yourself. If you have ever wanted to dance naked under the full moon, this is the one to do it under (unless it is too damn cold) wink emoticon . This is the moon to stretch yourself a little bit, indulge that dark side, just a little. Don't go overboard. There is a wildness to this moon that could catch you doing things you never thought you would.. Keep in mind that this too shall pass and you will have to face yourself afterwards. Indulge... don't BINGE. I know the weather may not be perfect everywhere. That is okay. This moon is STRONG.. in fact you are probably feeling those who have passed on even if you NEVER have. The timing of this moon could not be more perfect. IT will lend just enough oomph to your Halloween weekend, without being overwhelming. You can still do all the things you would normally do on the night of the full moon up to three days after this one. She is powerful. After three days the effects will begin to wane. I wish all of my Pagan and Wiccan friends a blessed Samhain as well. Much love, mischief, and just a tad of mayhem sent your way. Happy Halloween and Lovely Full Moon. Love, Mishka.

Take the High Road...

Taking the high road can be very difficult. My sister and I just had a discussion about this. It is so hard to not lash out at people when they say horrible things about you, especially when it is behind your back and you have no way of defending yourself. It would be easy to lash out and attack back. To tell others what those bashing you have said about them. This is a bad road to go down, however. All you have to lose is your self-respect. Those who truly know you, know the truth, and even if they don't, they will at least ask you about the situation. All the others don't really matter. Yes, it is horribly painful. Yes, it is unjust. Yes, it will make you angry. In reality, you are probably very deeply hurt and it is coming out as anger. I also know this, acting in kind, does not make things better, it merely turns you into the very kind of person that you are being tortured by. I know it is hard. I know it is not fair. I know it, my angels... But hang on to who you truly are. They will get theirs. Eventually. It may not seem that way, but you have already won. You have already won. Keep spreading love, and stay on that high road. It may seem lonely, but those who truly know you will be there with you. Love, Mishka.

Little UGLY out there right now....

There is a little bit of UGLY energy making itself known. Today, Mercury goes direct so we should be feeling some relief, right? Not so much. I think she is digging her heels in and going to hang on for a bit. So be careful with negotiations or communication of any kind. Small, insignificant conversations are breaking down into huge brawls. There is a tendency to overreact, that does not mean your feelings are invalid. It means check in with them. Are you really angry, or are you sad? Are you touchy, extra sensitive? Could be. Some are behaving badly, but things that usually would not bother us so much are like nails on a chalkboard right now. Realize that. Now would probably be a good time to do some solitary things, or things that are comforting. Pamper yourself a little and be gentle with yourself. You are only human after all, even if others are treating you as if you should be perfect right now. This too shall pass. Give it a week. It should begin to lessen each day now. Love, Mishka.

I know these are very difficult, frustrating and heartbreaking times. I know sometimes we all feel as if we cannot make a difference. Just one person. We feel like giving up. DON'T. Don't give up my angels. Like the ripples on a calm lake after throwing a pebble in, so are we. Stronger, better, more courageous than we would have ever dreamed possible. Our impact is infinite... only limited by our imaginations and the love in our hearts. There will be times when we have to stand up for ourselves and those we love and do things that are frightening and WAY outside our comfort zone. This is when we GROW. EXPAND. BECOME...so much more again than we already are. Our ability to love is infinite. Remember, no matter how bad things become, this too shall pass. Be who you are. Stand up for what you believe, especially if you are standing alone. And NEVER betray your convictions. But most of all. LOVE EACH OTHER. Love, Mishka.
