Awaken Your Inner Faerie ~ Day 1

 

Awaken Your Inner Faerie in 30 Days by Alex Clarke

Published by 6th Books

RRP £9.99  Available on Amazon UK  

 

 

 

So my gorgeous friend Alex Clarke, author of Awaken Your Inner Faerie in 30 Days  gifted me her wonderful new book to awaken my inner faerie! It's a 30 day practice that help you tap into your creativity, wildness, fun source and powerful inner fae. I agreed to do a review of this book for her and it's the least I can do seeing as I am featured in this book - you can check out page 99 to see what I have to say.

 

I decided to dedicate a small blog each day for 30 days so that my journey to my inner faerie is documented and witnessed. I have worked with the faeries very publically in the past having a column with the leading faerie magazine (FAE Magazine), and being known as The Faerie Whisperer may ring some faerie bells to a lot of you lovely readers. But there is always more room to discover more about yourself and for me, today was Day 1.

 

So what did I learn today? I am so glad you asked that question!

I learnt all about the Faerie Clan that I belong to! Yes, you read that right, my faerie clan revealed itself to me through the magickal questionnaire contained within these magickal pages. You see, in Alex's practice working with clients on developing and awakening their inner faerie she is able to work out which clan they belong to which really helps with the rest of the sessions - and lessons in this book. A sneaky secret - tomorrow I get to meet the Faerie Queen of my Clan - exciting!

 

 

 

So anyway, I discovered that I belong to the "Omil of the Tree Roots" clan. You may be wondering what on earth they are? And rightly so because they are of the earth, they... Hang on let me let Alex explain in her words taken from the book;

The Omil clan live in hollows and tree roots; they dress in gossamer and have pointed wing tips to punch holes in lies and corruption. They are compulsive truth tellers. They also like to sing into spiders' webs to watch the universe wobble. They understand words change worlds. The Omil understand language as frequency which makes them excellent writers, journalists and storytellers. They have an otherworldly ability to emotional power games being played and how they will pan out. They communicate in words easily and can often cook up an interesting anecdote or two, or three hundred. Sadly if found in an environment where secrecy is norm, or self deceit encouraged, the Omils can feel themselves going round the bend. They end up looking at the world with despair and disgust; sometimes retreating into solitude and sleep, pottering generally grumping about and sleeping some more. (...) The Omil's totem is the spider who shows up to say 'Hey! You can change this! Weave some magic words together and let the manifestation unfurl...'

 So there we have it - this witch and her inner faerie take no rubbish and lies from anyone! Can't say you haven't been warned now haha. On a more serious note, this makes sense to me for some many reasons - the entire interpretation that is. I have friends tell me that I was right about someone in their life who has less than friendly intentions towards them. I warned them beforehand -perhaps because I can see the emotional power games they are playing. I do know that all my life I've had this ability to see through the (excuse my French here) bullshit that people do, say and act with. None of it washes with me. It's interesting because to me the Omil Tree Clan sound similar to Indigo Warriors /Adults / Children that we read about. Standing up and fighting for justice. What else I find interesting and wonder fi there is a connection is that when I chose to train in a healing modality I chose to work with Celtic Reiki - Reiki using tree energy.

So, I've learnt a little more about me today and tomorrow I get to meet my Faerie Clan Queen - I have no idea what to expect and I am looking forward to it. Please come back and visit tomorrow to find out all about the Faerie Queen I meet during meditation! And if you want a piece of the action (We so know that you do!) then use the links above directly underneath the book image to purchase your copy!

Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway

The famous quote by Susan Jeffers at first eluded me as I wondered why on earth anyone would want to do something they feared. I mean why would you want to be locked in a lift for hours on end - completely stuck? Or why would you want to skydive? Just thinking about them brings shivers down my spine. 

But this year I've learnt a lot about feeling the fear and doing it anyway. I've achieved a lot and I've survived a lot this year. And that's the important two key words for me that really sum up 2012; 

ACHIEVE and SURVIVE.

Self inspiring when I think about how much courage it took me for me to post my photo on Facebook for the first time all those years ago, and how I didn't have the confidence to speak publically. And now... I really enjoy recording PodCasts and YouTube videos about all types of spirituality.... seems I'm stepping into a Public Speaker role ..... Many of my SHEroes are Metaphysical Speakers who inspire millions everyday... maybe there is a space there for me one day. Or perhaps "One Day has already Arrived"  ♥ 

So let me tell you, or rather, let me show you what I've been up to lately. 

I've recorded this latest Podcast for The Faeries and Angels Radio Network

Heavenly Dreams

And I have recorded this YouTube video for you to catch up with me 

And I have recorded this little Video for you via The Faeries and Angels YouTube Channel where I talk to you about the inspirational text; A Course in Miracles. This particular video is all about how we can see past the negative things in our life. 

So that's a little message to you all from me. Please let me know your thoughts below or on the YouTube channel in the comments below the video. 

Book Review ~ Mary Queen of Angels Oracle Cards

Mary Queen of Angels Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue

published by Hay House 

I am super lucky to have been sent the brand new oracle deck by Doreen Virtue; Mary, Queen of Angels. These are not yet available in the UK (Published November 27th here in the UK) So my deck was kindly sent from Hay House UK just after they were sent from the USA offices so that I could review them for you all here. 

I have been working with Doreen's oracle cards for a good 11 years now (I began using them for myself when I was 13, and then used them to give readings to others from when I was 15), and each time I work with a new deck of Doreen's I am always amazed at just how beautiful the artwork is, and also the message contained on each card. However after reading Doreen's book; Mary Queen of Angels (the review of which can be found here), I was so eager to work with the wonderful energy of Mother Mary in the new oracle cards. 

When I opened these cards I felt the energy of compassion and love as I looked at each individual card in the deck. There are cards depicting a message and the pictorial energy of God, Compassion, Gratitude, Jesus and Blessings to name only 5 out the 44 cards included in this deck. 

I find them to of course be highly accurate in their messages in that the readings I've done for myself, my loved ones and friends have been very timely and compassionate advice just like you would expect from any mother. 

I really do love these cards and keep them by my bedside so the last thing at night I call upon Mother Mary as I shuffle the deck and ask her what I need to think about as I go to sleep, and when I wake up I ask Mother Mary what it is that I need to be aware of throughout my day. I have found that I have slept better as I fall asleep meditating upon Mary's Message, and I feel calmer during the day as I feel the energy of the message I receive at the start of the day. 

I will be doing a video review of these oracle cards that I will be uploading onto my YouTube TV channel ~ Faerie Whisperer TV and I hope you will enjoy seeing the energy of these cards shine through. 

If you would like a set of these Oracle Cards, you can Pre-Order them here directly from Hay House UK

Faerie Initiation

Faerie Blessings, 

Today I have my *Faerie Priestess* hat on so to speak. It's been a while (it feels like it's been a while) but I really feel the strong energy of the fey around me of late. 

It began on Samhain, I was heading for lunch at work with my friend whom I share the class with and the wind was up slightly, just enough to encourage the leaves to dance along the pathway in front of us. However whenever I got close to these leaves the wind would get stronger - enough to lift these leaves not just off the pathway but to above my height (I'm 5ft5) and then begin encircling me as we walked along the pathway to the local cake shop. My friend and colleague laughed and commented to me about how whenever I got near to the piles of leaves they just came to life like in the Disney film; Pocahontas.  When we got to the cake shop the ladies behind the counter laughed at us and said "Look at those leaves in your hair!", we turned to each other and laughed like we'd been consumed with Faerie Laughter, we had both indeed got many leaves in our hair! 

I definitely felt the faeries and Elementals around me that day and since then too. 

The Elementals have been calling to me over the past day or so repeatedly telling me that it's time I teach others about them once more (I've previously written about the Elementals some 4 or so years ago, and more recently, The Elemental Masters). I've also received guidance from Queen Mab (My Faery Mentor) who has discussed at length with me the concerns she has for FaeryLand. There were many others from FaeryLand that also attended my initiation including the Elm Tree Elf, Oak Tree Elf, the Elfin Prince and Faeries of the Foxgloves. There was mush fun after the *official* discussions and I tend to agree with what she has said to me. Let me explain. 

*

Faery recently my whole persona has been questioned by myself, I've begun a journey of TrueSelf discovery and this is having a ripple effect upon all areas of my life; career, home life, health, interests, spirituality and friends. Dare I say that now I'm quite enjoying the fact that I have been "Given permission" (Although I needed no-one permission) to find myself! It's actually quite fun playing and seeing what excites me, and what doesn't. 

I've made choices, decisions and plans about my *Muggle* career, but my spiritual career, my life path calling is really the main event going on right now as I discover my TrueSelf. I may be a Faerie Priestess, and a Witch but I finally accept (in the last 24 hours) that I don't look like a Faery at all - and that is OK, it's more than OK, it's super! Why? Because I look like ME! (and sometimes I even resemble Regina from Once Upon A Time) 

Muggle Me 

Faerie Priestess & Witchy ME 

So, getting back to the serious message of this blog post, last night I was visited by the faeries and also Queen Mab and the Faerie Queen of Winter (Otherwise known and depicted as The Snow Queen), along with various faeries and elves who are now working with me on my Faery Pathway. 

I received another initiation into the realm of fey after a discussion with Queen Mab about what the Faery Realm would really appreciate me to doing next. Queen Mab sat with me underneath the Wild Oak and told me how they had sat and watched me as I'd been walking a very jagged pathway this year but with complete Faerie Love couldn't intervene as it was part of my destiny to experience such pain and sadness. However during that time, like every other area in my life, my work as a Faerie Priestess had at times been strained. I agreed, because I've noticed how I've sometimes been slack in my teachings. 

Queen Mab then gently touched my hand and said that my heart had been in it with good faith, so the blessings of the fey were with me. Then she told me that I needed to move on from my current pathway's and thrust myself forward as there are many people who will be coming to me soon through word of my teachings of the Fey. I was somewhat confused and she told me that some of my current avenues, my words go unheard and precious fey energy is wasted, and at this time in our evolution, Faery Energy is very precious. She asked me to close my eyes and describe to her what my vision is of my Faerie Priestess-hood, so I did, I told her that the teachings from me would be received warmly, welcomed and full of love, peace, joy and hope. 

She placed a dragonfly upon my forehead and said "This emblem was gifted to you by us for this very vision - we share your faery vision".

 Dragonfly's help you see through life's illusions, the illusions others have of themselves and also helps you to find your true power within. 

We both discussed how when I first began teaching about the faeries way back in 2004 the energy of the fey was very secretive, and special in that it was a truly magickal experience. We talked through our senses about how when someones received insight from the fey back then, it was literally like putting the spark back into their faery soul and it was almost like  golden glitter lit them up. Of late, in the past Muggle Year or so, I haven't noticed that, which is really very sad.

Queen Mab and I share a vision for mankind and Faery-kind. We want the magick to return to your lives, to your eyes, your soul and your heart. It is with this vision that I was initiated into being a Beacon of Faery Love & Light to all those who are willing to receive it once more.  

So my teachings will return to basics, they will be fun, light hearted and full of the magick that once was more than enough for mankind to accept into their hearts, in the hope that my light as a Faerie Priestess shines brightly once more, brightly enough to outshine those who are using the Realm of the Fey for monetary or egotistical gain. Faeries hate ego's they see what damage they cause, they are by no means angels in the heavenly sense, but they know an honest heart and soul when they see and meet one. 

I have always said that "I work for the Faery and with the Faery". And that is what I stand by. I am not concerned with what or whom I an affiliated to, my heart and soul is of the Faery and my TrueSelf, and that it where is will remain forever more. 

Queen Mab, introduced me to the Faery Queen of Winter and said that as I step up as Faerie Priestess and also as a Human being called Aurora, I need to stop being so much a of Doormat. Mab tells you how it is and she doesn't take time to be polite if the message is strong enough! 

She showed me where I had been a doormat and allowed people to take advantage of my good nature and of my Emerald Sea-Shelled Faerie Heart. I agreed that I had always be a "nice" person, to which she took my hand and said, "My child, I am not asking you to change, We love you as you are, that is what makes you our Faerie Priestess. However I want you to *Step into your Faery Power* once and for all." I asked Mab how I was to do this and she said that the Faery Queen of Winter will coach me and will be with me until Spring. In that time I will have perfected the art of  *Standing in my Faery Power*. 

So you see, I am really beginning to see my life change dramatically and improve since having the rug pulled from underneath my feet. And I know for sure now that the Faeries, do well and truly have my back!

*~ ★ Book Review ~ Flower Therapy by Doreen Virtue & Robert Reeves ★ ~*

When this charming faerie friendly sized book landed in the home and garden of The Faerie Whisperer (me) amongst the clover and grass from Hay House, I simply new it was going to take me on a magickal and scentsational journey.

It is written by two very lovely people (both of whom I've been lucky enough to have a chat with briefly), Doreen Virtue, who readers of my blog should be very familiar with as a lovely lightworker and spiritual teacher who has written countless books on angels, faeries, healing and divine guidance whilst living in the gorgeous Hawaii, and Robert Reeves who is a Naturopath in beautiful Australia (where they are both currently taking part in *I Can Do It*) as well as using his training in herbal medicine combined with his psychic abilities to help clients heal. He also writes articles, runs a natural health clinic (which he began at 17 years old!) and runs self-help workshops!

A perfectly matched co-author relationship I would say! 

So now, onto the book that these lovely people have written. 

Perfectly sized for carrying with you in your bag so that you have ready access to the messages, healing and guidance from the angels and nature angels (faeries) and the flowers that they work with.

The book begins with a wonderful introduction to what flower therapy is and how the angels and faeries work together to bring through the healing messages and energies from the flowers. It then discusses how to collect your flowers for your therapy session and even gives you a gentle "flower-picking ceremony" step by step guide so that you can be assured that the flowers you chose are perfect and don't get hurt in any way. 

Doreen and Robert then explain to us the many ways in which we can work with flower therapy in our lives such as; flower therapy readings, chakra balancing, aura cleansing and even creating a flower therapy garden. Naturally, they detail in an easy to follow step by step guide (these step by step guides really make you feel that you are taking a workshop with Doreen and Robert - you don't feel alone in the process of learning about Flower Therapy) you are told how to make flower essences and how to use them. I won't tell you the ways in which you can use these essences and infusions - I don't want to reveal everything!

Once, your theoretical knowledge of Flower Therapy is complete in the reading of this book, you reach the "Directory" which is jam packed with 88 of the common flowers we find in our gardens and park lands. Flowers such as Red Roses, Camellia, Orchids, Freesias and the mesmerizing Bottlebrush to name a few. Each flower has an accompanying photo (which has healing energies itself), chakra correspondences, associated Archangels, healing description and healing message which has been channeled from the flowers so that you can easily find and work with the right flower for you.

At the end of the book there are some wonderful helpful lists where you can find what flowers work with associated Archangels, chakras and situations in life such as Romance, Financial support, Anger (releasing) and Friendship.

This book has opened my eyes further more to the magick contained in any garden, park land or in fact where any flower grows. This is an ideal book for anyone with an interest in flowers, gardening, angels, faeries, and healing. It's also perfect for a beginner or the more advanced practitioner, as I believe people who have a connection with the faeries as well as those who perhaps haven't explored that aspect of spirituality fully, will have lots of their own intuitive thoughts and feelings to add to the directory (which has space at the end of the book for you to add your own observations - which you are actively encouraged to listen to the messages from the flowers yourself and to adapt the methods to suit how you feel when working with flower therapy). 

My only disappointment with this book is that is was released at almost the end of Summer here in the UK and I would have been super excited to have had this companion guide with me during Spring so that as I visited garden centers to purchase plants for my garden I could research what healing attributes they would bring to my garden and into my life. 

BUT.... it just means that I can work with the flowers I have right now, and get more super excited than I thought possible as I plan for Spring 2013 in the Faerie Whisperer garden!

You can order this book direct from HAY HOUSE 

***

You can also find a wonderful EXCLUSIVE feature in a Faerie special magazine **FAE MAGAZINE**  in which both Doreen Virtue and Myself write exclusive columns for, all about Doreen and Robert's book ~ Flower Therapy. It is an amazing read which I just know you will ADORE! Grab your copy of the 20th Anniversary Edition now to read this magickal feature and ALSO read my column which discusses having a Faerie Altar ( in the garden) so it would make a perfect companion to the book - you can use your new Flower Therapy knowledge to add to creating your very own Faerie Altar!

*~ Faerie Whisperer's Faerie School ~*

Faerie Blessings everyone, 


I have some very exciting FAERIE news!!! 


I have set up a special facebook page ~ ** Faerie Whisperer ~ Faerie School**


What is *Faerie School*? 


I decided to set up this Faerie School during the summer holidays 2012 as in my experience as a Student Teacher (Primary Teacher) I know just how hard it can be to keep the little ones entertained and occupied. 


My mother was fortunate with me in that I was happy to spend the hours drawing or reading or even gardening with the Fae Folk in my holidays, but not all children are like me and rightly so - each Faerie Child is a spark of magick that needs to be tended to, nurtured and loved as they grow into their own being.


At the *Faerie Whisperer ~ Faerie School* I intend to give you practical ways in which you can help your children spend their summer exploring their spirituality in a relaxed manner, meaning they will be having so much fun they won't realise that they are developing their spirituality - but they will look back on the journey in years to come. 


With this in mind, if you decided to follow the program, it might be a lovely idea to get a blank journal of some sort and take photos of your little Faerie Children as they enjoy the activities. Perhaps you can make it a *Faerie School ScrapBook* and post small messages or reminders of what they were doing when the photo was taken. The idea is to keep a record of what you take part in at Faerie School. 


What can I expect from *Faerie School*? 



At Faerie School, all education is free as it is fully sponsored by The Universe & God. 


I aim to provide daily tips and ideas on how to teach your children more about faeries, angels, mermaids, and unicorns PLUS ways in which you can help encourage your children to think more positively. (I have in my work as a Student Teacher come across lots of children who have had poor self esteem and by using affirmations and positive praise for even the smallest of achievements witnessed children who were repeatedly told and expected to *FAIL* exams, coming out on top, acheiving the best SATs results in a 5 year history at the school! 


I will post oracle readings in a child friendly voice for your little ones to think about during the day/week. I will also be hosting fun competitions and offering very cheap Unicorn Readings for £5.00 for your children. These readings are to ONLY be purchased by an adult and must have a valid ADULT email address to send them too. It is advised that the adult reads the reading before sharing with their child. 


I will also be uploading videos for *Faerie School* whereby I virtually teach your children and give them an activity to complete once the lesson is over as homework. 


But this school is much different from Normal School.... this is FAERIE SCHOOL so it is soooo much more FUN!!! 


At the end of *Faerie School* 's first term which ends 1st September, all children who participated will recieve a sparkling certificate of achievement


If you would like any more information, please feel free to email me at Aurora@FaerieWhisperer.co.uk

*Touched by the Faeries*

Faerie Blessings,

Today I decided to change my blog name and address to ****Faerie Whisperer**** ~ it made perfect sense to as I am known as *The Faerie Whisperer* who works in lots of different spiritual ways underneath her toadstool! So here on this blog, you will get a whole rainbow of themed spiritual teachings, insight, and diary posts by me.

Also, today I was reminded just how inspiring and awesome being touched by faeries for the first time can really be. I get a good amount of emails and messages via Facebook from people whom have been touched by the Fae  and they share their experiences with me (Which I am ever so grateful and blessed for).

Sometimes when we are touched by the faeries it can be a fleeting second when we see them or suspect we see them flutter on by, others can be a rewarding and healing experience where we enter a long communication with them either verbally or telepathically. But it is not the time that you spend with the fae or how long the communication lasts that is important, it is the love and lesson you bring back from the moment into your everyday waking life that matters. What you do with the special gift that the faeries have bestowed upon you is what counts!

I have been fortunate enough to have had many faerie blessings bestowed upon me right from having a Faerie Queen defend my corner and protecting me from harm, to the Faerie Tokens/Emblems that have been bestowed upon me through my work as a Faerie Priestess. I also count the little signs from nature that I receive when I ask for guidance and reassurance as gifts of the fae because in truth that's what they are, they are a heartfelt gift from the Faeries.

Although my receiving these gifts are wonderfully enchanting within themselves, they are not really important - it's how I used these gifts that matters. For example, the Faerie Priestess Emblems that I have received such as the Butterfly, I use spiritually when I am in need to transformation, or I want to turn a bad situation good. I visualize hundreds and thousands of butterflies surrounding the situation, clearing away the negativity and replacing it with sparkling energy of pure divine love and light. I also use these butterflies in World Situations such as the recent horrific tragedy in Aurora, USA. It's important that we Lightworkers ALWAYS strive to turn bad situations into good ones. We can't change what happens or take away what has happened, but we CAN help to diminish the negative black energy upholding the traumas. it's our Lightworker duty.

Make sure you think about the gifts the faeries have given you, be they a dream, a sign, a flower, a shape in the clouds, or even a feeling. Think about how you can use the energy to help others. If you are unsure how your particular gift can help others, ask the faeries for guidance, they WILL guide you if you ask them.


**If you would like to send me your faerie experiences or stories, please feel free to email them to me at TheFaerieWhisperer@Gmail.com or contact me via my Facebook Page **
