Our up coming Summer Solstice marks the start of a few months of intense energy ahead of us. The solstice not only represents the longest day but the time that our beautiful sun's rays are shining most directly and vertically down upon us. We can benefit from this wonderful energy and use this time, building upon the enhanced energy that we feel within ourselves and emanating all around us.
You can make sun water at the time of the Solstice, sun water made at this time is especially potent and can be used for all sorts of remedies and energising uses. Find out how to make it here
Following on quickly from the Summer Solstice we have full moon on July 2nd and then a trio of three super moons in a row in August, September and October
The July full moon on the 2nd is the Full Buck Moon, Thunder Moon or Hay Moon, named for the abundance of nature at this time of year. This moon follows hot on the heels of the Litha or the Summer Solstice, our earth will literally will be crackling with super charged energy.
The Supermoon in September comes the closest to us for 2015, being only 357,098 km or 221,890 miles away.

New Moon Affirmation. On accepting the challenges ahead of us in life and practicing Gratitude
We have a new moon today and with it comes an apology from me for not posting in ages. Too much going on I won't bore you with but hopefully life will get on bit more of an even keel now.
So we have a new moon and with it always the hope of new beginnings, fresh eyes on the world, new ways of thinking, amazing opportunities and challenges to be faced. It is an exciting time in the lunar month I always find, as well as sometimes for some an unsettling on, coupled with the time of the full moon I often think this is the most turbulent time, it is how we use this time to our advantage that is the key here really. I have to admit I often do struggle at these times as I do suffer from migraines at the time of the new moon and full moon but try to push through. This is a time of challenge, we all have our challenges to face, the key is how we deal with these. Practicing mindfulness and gratitude are great ways of doing this. Concentrating on the here and now and being grateful for what you have right now, the little things, is a great way to take your mind away from the worry of any larger issues that may be causing you pain.
What plans do you have for this new moon, do you have any projects you would like to get started on? I plan to book my craft fairs and festivals for the summer over the next few days so that is something to look forward to.
New moon blessings to you,
Alison

Imbolc blessings to you and all those you hold dear, wherever you are, all around the world.
May the Goddess Brighde be in your hearts and her love bring all the goodness of the first awakenings of spring to you and those around you. Brighde, Brigit or Brigid was celebrated as the Goddess of Fertility, may she bring prosperity, fertility and happiness into all aspects of your lives. Brigid was said to be the mother of the God Yule, she is nursing him now at Imbolc as he grows strong. She is known as the fire goddess and many celebrations centre around fire building and the lighting of candles. Brigid is one of the few Pagan goddesses who still survives to this day, she was adopted by the Christian church and was worshipped as Saint Brigit, although she was de canonised in the 1960s, she is still venerated in Ireland.
Embrace the spirit of Brigid and bring her love and joy into your lives. Our earth is awakening, allow yourselves to awaken and blossom, you will be amazed at the wonderful happiness that lies waiting ahead of you. Follow the Brigid Bliss.

As we look to the New Year, Hold on to what is good. Inspirational New Year Quote 2015
As we look to the New Year, Hold on to what is good, Let go of what is bad. It really is that simple. Mandy Hale.
New Year Blessings to you all, hope that 2015 brings you a year full of health and happiness. This is wonderful advice from Mandy Hale. The New Year is a good time for looking at what we do and don't need in our lives. I'm not one for a big new year's resolution list but it can be a good time to just take a bit of time to reassess and look at what is working and what is not. Make a few changes, make a new years resolution list if that is what works for you but only if you know it is a realistic one that you can stick to. Keep the good and let go of the bad and look forward to a wonderful 2015 full of bliss and all that you deserve.
Much love and rainbow hugs, Alison xxxx ☽✪☾

Tomorrow begins with a brand new light. Thoughts on Gratitude.
As you fall asleep, think with gratitude of the day that has been today. It may have been a good day, it may not have been the day you had hoped for. Somewhere within that day there will have been things that you can be grateful for. Think of those things as you fall asleep, dwelling on the positive to help you through the night. Tomorrow is always a brand new dawn with its own hopes and dreams, whatever has happened the day before, a new light will make everything seem different.
Blessings of new light to you, Alison

"You are emerging from the cocoon of your former self. Marianne Williamson Positive Inspirational Quote
This is a wonderful and truly inspiring quote by the fabulous Marianne Williamson. She teaches us that it is always possible to change, change is within us and it is never too late to do so, we just need the courage to take those initial steps towards transformation, to shrug off the chains that may be holding us back and move forward towards our dreams. Whatever the terminology we use, the Lightening Process, NLP, mindfulness, all of these are designed to bring about the change from within but first we need to want to change. Are you ready for change, are you ready to take that first step?
Marianne Williamson is also author of the book
The Gift of Change: Spiritual Guidance for a Radically New Life [Paperback]
Marianne Williamson.In this lovely book Marianne talks about change and how we should embrace it. Our lives should be flexible and we are encouraged to find our own path that is truly right for us.
"Marianne Williamson delves deeply into the rule of change and transition in our lives in this inspirational book, reflecting on the paradoxes that inevitably pervade our experience as she helps us find our way. Williamson examines the paradox of what we gather on the path of life, as our most difficult times sometimes bring about the most wisdom. She then investigates our inherent resistance to change and our recklessness around it. Finally, she focuses at length on the paradox of existence – being firmly rooted yet flexible in our lives.
Providing seven practical principles to support us through the transitions and changes we experience in life, Williamson ensures that whatever change you are facing – whether it's a relationship ending, the loss of a loved one or embarking on a new career path – you can learn to stop resisting the change itself and move into the future gracefully. The Gift of Change also examines the roles of openness and letting go, grieving and forgiveness, and love and fear. Marianne Williamson delivers hope and healing as she brings us to a place where we can truly live in the freedom of love." Amazon.co.uk
So let your light shine, you are brilliant and amazing and others around you will appreciate that light and allow their own light to shine.

A Pagan path with Gratitude for all creatures on our Mother Earth, Gaia.
Isn't this a beautiful picture? Just reminds us of the importance of all the wonderful beings who inhabit our Mother Earth alongside us. We sometimes have to be reminded that we are not the only ones who to whom things such as family and feelings are incredibly important. Following a Pagan path means to me that all creatures are important on this earth we call Gaia and I constantly offer Gratitude for each and every one of them.
Gaias blessings, AstarteAlison

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully. Gratitude quote. Steve Maraboli
Love this gratitude quote, it can often be hard to be the first to shine a light when all around appears to be darkness. However daring to shine that light and smile even when you really don't feel like it can often so lift your spirits and affect those around you. Practising gratitude is a fabulous way to lift your spirits on a daily basis, especially on those darker days.
Blessings of gratitude to you, Alison xxx

Our pets often teach us the wonder of unconditional love. Gratitude pets quote.
Our pets often teach us the wonder of unconditional love. Often our best friends in the whole world our cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs, and rabbits give us so much love and so much to give gratitude for. They are there at the end of a hard day to just listen and be there for us, always happy to see us.
Do you have a pet who is special in your life?
This is my daughter and her cat Izzi, we have two cats at the moment and have had two dogs who are now over the rainbow bridge, all have filled our lives with wonder and have given us so much to feel grateful for.
Blessings, Alison xxx

Happiness is a journey not a destination. Ben Sweetland
Happiness is a journey not a destination. Ben Sweetland Gratitude happiness quote
Practising gratitude on a daily basis is a wonderful way to help in your happiness journey. Sometimes it feels like happiness is out of your grasp and certainly not possible everyday. Practising gratitude day by day will help you on your happiness route and make the sad days happen less often. Don't just take my word for it though. Give it a go! Just three things to be grateful for at the end of every day. Our ancestors got it right I believe, these ancient Pagans who came before us offered gratitude all the time to our Mother Earth, believing if they didn't then she wouldn't provide for them.
Let me know how you get on. Stay happy! Blessings, Alison xxxx

With every person, animal and living thing that we give gratitude for, our spirit soars a little higher. AstarteAlison
Send out some gratitude into the universe today and allow your spirit to soar. What are you grateful for? Today I am grateful for my beautiful daughters(always!) the lovely baby frogs in my garden, and the cooling breeze just started up as I write this post. They don't have to be big things but Mother Nature has so much for us to feel gratitude for. This is where I feel the ancient Pagans had it right, they continually gave their thanks to Mother Earth for all she provided for us, they respected and honoured her for all that she meant to them. This is where I feel we need to get back to those roots, Paganism shows us a way to feel that gratitude again, we are truly blessed to live upon this wonderful earth, our Gaia.
blessings of Gratitude to you, Alison

“Get your dreams in line and then just shine, design, refine ‘til they come true.” Inspirational Quote Dolly Parton
“Get your dreams in line and then just shine, design, refine ‘til they come true.” Dolly Parton
I thought I would give you this quote today after Dolly's amazing performance on the stage at the Glasontonbury festival this year. At the fabulous age of 68 she drew the biggest crowd on the Glastonbury 2014 stage, a wonderful feat. She demonstrates such a zest for life and down to earth fun that you can't help but be caught up with her enthusiasm. She teaches us that we can follow our bliss! I love this quote, she shows us to go for our dreams, they may need refining along the way but we can still reach our end goal if we reach hard enough for it.
"You don’t need to have it all figured out, just start where you are. What is it that excites you most right now? Take action. The more you pursue what you love, the more opportunities will come your way. They may not be what you expected — they may be even bigger and better than you imagined! But go ahead and get started. Get to livin’ because life is your canvas, cowgirl."http://mindbodyspiritofacowgirl.com

Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now. Positive Mindfulness quote. Eckhart Tolle
This is a quote from Eckhart Tolle's brilliant book A New Earth: Create a Better Life
"Responding to a radical crisis that threatens our very survival – this is humanity’s challenge now.
...humanity is now faced with a stark choice: Evolve or die.
What is arising now is not a new belief system, a new religion, spiritual ideology, or mythology. We are coming to the end not only of mythologies but also of ideologies and belief systems. The change goes deeper than the content of your mind, deeper than your thoughts."
