Ring Ring! Hello? ... This is the Dark Goddess Calling...

 

Merry Meet Witchettes!

 

I have missed you so much! I have had a very serious call to answer this past week or so.

I had been called back to working with and discovering new pathways within my witchy soul as you are aware and I came across the Dark Goddess during my studies. I had heard of 'The Dark Goddess' but in all honesty had never really taken time to really understand what message she imparted. As I discovered more about the Dark Goddess showing up in your life and in my life I began to join the links together that showed just how she had been present in my life. I began to feel compelled to tell others via my blog all about my discoveries when the witchy soul inner telephone began to ring ...

RING RING!!!

 

Hello?

 

THIS IS THE DARK GODDESS CALLING....

 

Yep, she called and I answered the phone which means I had accepted on a soul level I believe the lesson I have now learnt.

 

Over this past week or so I have known the darkness of health and its made me appreciate my good health far more than I did before and I didn't think that was possible. I noted how I'd mentioned "The Call of the Dark Goddess" and was resonating with my past as I recalled times I'd been called by her, I know that I was called back to this pathway and my attention to the Dark Goddess was caught for a reason. The Dark Goddess called me again, and I have truly learnt how to listen to my body and the power healing energy has. I know there is more for me to learn, but positivity and faith in the Goddess will help me appreciate the light.

 

I have been in hospital (which has been a nightmare all on it's own) but I am home resting now. Mum called the ambulance Sunday and I was admitted. after first being discharged and then called back in within a matter of seconds to be told that I have gallstones and the pain I was in was caused by the gallstones passing through my bile duct and getting slightly stuck. Now blood tests show that my liver function is improving and returning to normal. I am armed ...with painkillers and can say that I have now experienced gas and air, morphine and been assured that if I can get through THAT pain, childbirth will be a breeze. Which coincidently I believe was a lesson from the Dark Goddess in matter of speaking as I am now 25 years old, in a relationship with the sheer love of my life, the man that I just can't imagine not waking up to for the rest of my life, the man I want to fight over the remote control with, and I admit it - I have had a fear of getting pregnant largely due to the childbirth aspect. Thank you Goddess for the lesson!

So I am just resting because I've had no sleep and really am exhausted. I have to go back Monday for an MRI to make sure the stones have passed., needless to say that I would appreciate healing energy to help these stones pass from my gallbladder easily, and in a pain-free way as I do NOT want surgery at all. Of course if needs must I will have to travel that route, but I REALLY want to try all other natural methods first! So along with the painkillers, I'm armed with Crystals, Herbal Drinks, Healing Music/Meditations and Angel Prayers of Healing. Oh and one more thing; I am SO glad to be home!!!

 

 

 

So what have I learnt?

Basically that as much as I live to GIVE to you and everyone I can help, I really do have to put myself first and rest more, help myself, listen to my own body, tap into my own wisdom. I have to stop putting my own needs last, especially when it comes to my health. I have to stop apologising and feeling guilty for taking responsibility for my life. I always manage to feel guilty when other people disagree with my choices which I make because I KNOW they are for the best for ME. I can say that I now know what it means to fully embrace my inner goddess and accept myself and my decisions, my choices. You can't make everyone agree or understand with why you do the things you do, but when you listen to your beautiful heart and do what feels right, no one, and I mean NO ONE has the right or the power to make you feel like you shouldn't do what's right for you.

 

So, if you take anything from this post I would like it to be; Stand up for yourself, listen to your heart and if you want to stop something, walk away, do something different, say NO, change your mind etc - you go for it! You listen to your Goddess Heart, and you feel PROUD!

New Moon? Same Old Story - Re Written!

Merry Meet everyone,

 

It was my birthday on Saturday which also happened to be the New Moon, I had a lovely day, spent the weekend with my Handsome Paramedic who spoilt me rotten. He cooked me a gorgeous meal, bought me Nexus 4 Mobile phone however the speakers didn't work so it's been sent back for them to send me one that actually works! I was spoilt by my Mum who bought me lovely gifts such as fitness equipment (I am working out more these days, and being kept on track by my health & fitness coach), books, DVD Box Sets such as Ghost Whisperer, new hair straighteners, clothes etc. I am one lucky girly!

But the New Moon really brought up some energies that I have personally been feeling for a while, especially in relation to my spiritual pathway. Many of you have been here with me on this blog since it's birth when it was "The Witch Inside", then it changed to Living a Life of Blessings, then to The Faerie Whisperer, then more recently to Finding the Goddess Within and now it has come full circle and returned to "Witch Inside". This blog has ALWAYS been a reflection of me and my spiritual pathway.

I feel that I began to lose my way a little when I felt the urge to change it the first time, and I have to say that I am particularly pleased that it has returned to all it's glorious witchiness! There is a saying that "Once a Witch, Always a Witch!", now I truly believe that with all my soul. I can try and ignore it and maybe for a year or so it will die down and bury itself deep within me, but sooner or later it will resurface and it will ultimately win!

 

Now what does this mean for me? Well personally it means a whole load of exciting things for me, it means that I get to post about my witchy ponderings once again that many of you first began to follow this blog for, it means that I get to really share my soul with you all once more without fear of upsetting my readers, it means that I get to incorporate my coaching that I've studied, trained, and am qualified in with all my new age, metaphysical, spiritual and witchy ways. I wonder sometimes how they will blend together, but that is the beauty of life. They all blend into making my life MINE naturally, and I am sure that the Goddess, my angels and my loved ones on the other side will undoubtedly help me blend them here on the wonderful world wide web.

I spoke to some fellow light-workers on facebook today about these changes and a lot of people have felt the energy and even thanked me for posting about my personal feelings towards this. it seems that the New Moon certainly brought about a new beginning by bringing back some old ways of our own personal pathways.

I would love to hear about how the New Moon on the 5th October 2013 affected you, please share in the comments as I am deeply intrigued to hear your story and I'd also love it if you came and "friended" me on Facebook - I really am a Friendly Witch!

Full Moon Blog Changes

Hiya,
          
 
I am so pleased that you have taken the time to stop by, read my blog and browse my pages.
 
Here at *The Goddess Within* (yes another name change -  I swear it's the full moon) I hope to blog about my musings and ponderings on life, metaphysical topics and my journey to  find the Goddess Voice within me.
 
Like most 20 something's we have strong opinions (don't we all at any age!), questions that we are dying to ask our elders and fellow 20 something's, and generally a voice that we desire to be heard. My blog (here) is where I want to do that - respectfully of course, but I am fed up of not simply speaking my mind and tip-toeing around others so as to not hurt their feelings, yet my own feelings get hurt in the process. Where am I honouring my Goddess Voice within there? I'm not! And that is the one major thing I need to change in my life. I really need to start standing up for myself even more than I do now - because sometimes, people and their opinions can be fierce and hurt you deeply.
 
I chose to change my blog to reflect my current journey. I know how many of you really enjoyed reading my blog when I first began writing it back in 2009 when it was known as *THE WITCH INSIDE*, but right now, that name doesn't suit me as it's too confined for me. Right now I'm growing in life in all ways and all areas and I'm finding it more and more relevant to note that I am searching for the deep Goddess Voice within me, hence the name *THE GODDESS WITHIN*
 
The posts will hopefully reflect more of the topics that I originally used to blog about and won't really have any life coaching based posts as if you do want to read them, you can read them on my other blog. I'd love to get your feedback on what posts you love reading on here; as it's been a while since I wrote any of those posts. I apologise for my lack of clarity recently on this blog, and I do hope you can find it in your hearts to stick around and support me as I try to reclaim that part of me.

Venus is Rising

Resurrecting Venus by Cynthia Occelli 

Published by Hay House UK/ Hay House (USA) / Agape Media International 

RRP: £12.99 / $19.95 

Venus is Rising! 

This book spoke to my soul - my feminine soul that just like the cover says 'had a sacred ache to embrace my feminine power'. The fact that the title incorporated the guiding planet of my birth - Venus, of course had little to do with it ;) 

This book has 5 sections written in it; VENUS ECLIPSED, VENUS IN LOVE, THE GODDESS MOTHER, VENUS AT WORK, and  RESURRECTING VENUS 

Each part has deep wisdom that I believe each and every woman knows deep in her soul, but for one reason or another find it difficult to believe/accept/acknowledge. Cynthia knows the difficulties we as women face in claiming back our unique power, and she helps the reader by giving them the space, the reason and the accountability to embrace who we are. Cynthia is a true inspiration and a true magnificent Goddess in her own right - just as we are. 

                                         

 Once a school drop out, and welfare Mum, she has reclaimed her power and become a popular blogger, speaker and empowerment teacher to women. She runs a successful business, lives in Bel Air, California and holds a Law Degree - yes, a woman proud to have both BEAUTY & BRAINS - a positive role model for all women, whatever their age, I believe.

My favourite sections of this book were parts, 1, 2, and 5, because they motivated me, empowered me, comforted me, inspired me, and touched my raw inner goddess, my inner Cleopatra to become the true feminine goddess I am. Section 2, VENUS IN LOVE, was my overall favourite section, as I am ever the hopeful romantic and reading from another Goddess Sister these words awakened my inner soul and lifted her to the highest heights; 

As  feminine woman, you desire passion, romance, and a sense of being protected and adored. 

Your feminine essence - which yearns to be wrapped in the restrained strength of a champion who would battle an army just to feel your back pressed against his chest

When I read those words, I almost wanted to scream "YES!" at the book - because I finally felt that it was perfectly OK for me to desire such a man - a man that has been seemingly demoted to glaze the covers of Mills and Boon passionate novels. I finally felt 'sane' in what I desired in a man, with a man, and from a man.  (Thank you Cynthia!)

In that same section Cynthia shares valuable information on how you can have a Goddess and God relationship fit for approval by Cleopatra!

 

Whether you are a single, non-parent (potential Mother in waiting), boardroom CEO, or Mum at home raising your children - we all have one thing in common - we all want to feel feminine, sexy, gorgeous and powerful yet loving. Cynthia shows us how we can do this, she shares how she created her own vision board which was the universal Map to the manifestation of this book. It's a book that I will continue to keep going back to when I simply want to top up my Inner Venus. 

This is a book that I will recommend to all my female friends who I see to be true goddesses in their own right but like me have struggled to accept who we are, and blaze in our glory. I believe this book has the power to increase the confidence of women the world over, in boardrooms and in Mum-and Toddler groups. Cynthia shares her struggles, her successes, and her personal, powerful and trans-formative life and by the end you can't help but feel compelled to call her you Soul Sister and Friend. I certainly beamed a bounty of love from my heart to hers upon reading the closing page. 

I would urge all my Sisters to go out and buy this book! Reclaim your power and Embrace your Feminine Power, because in the words of a Gillette advert (famous for their Venus range) 

and we ALL have Goddess Skin - we just need to embrace it!
