March Full Moon, a wonderful time to increase your psychic energy

We have a full moon at the moment, the full moon in March is often called the full Crow moon as the cawing of the crows herald the coming of spring.

Other names for the March full moon are Lenten Moon and Full Sap Moon.

The Full Moon brings a time of increased energy for many of us. You may find that you are more restless than usual or have a burst of activity and find yourself completing unfinished jobs. It is also a time for heightened psychic energy. You can enhance that energy with a crystal such as amethyst.

Amethyst is great for  worry and stress, amethyst aids restful sleep. Enhances memory and improves motivation.  Balances hormones, strengthens immune system and fights pain. Amethyst also is wonderful at increasing psychic energy.

This beautiful amethyst crystal is a wonderful way of increasing the your psychic energy at the time of the full moon or indeed at any time throughout the month. The necklace is available at the Astarte-Moon shop along with other crystal healing products. http://www.astarte-moon.co.uk

Amethyst is connected to your crown chakra, wear this wonderful pendant to balance that chakra and enhance your connection to spirit and your inner self.

The beautiful amethyst point pendant comes with a lovely velvet gift bag and surprise free gift as with all Astarte Moon jewellery. The pendant is also heavy enough to be used as a pendulum for divination.

Enjoy the March full moon, may your projects reach fulfilment, your dreams be realised and your inner self connected.

Blessings, AstarteAlison

My photos in Spirit and Destiny Magazine. Article on Spirit Rescue, helping a spirit cross over.

Very excited that my photographs have been published in this month's Spirit and Destiny Magazine! For those of my lovely readers in the US and anywhere else not in the UK this is a lovely magazine brimming with lots of info on all things Spiritual: Pagan, angels, chakra healing, crystal healing, horoscopes, psychic, mediumship, you name it they cover it basically.

Anyway a very good friend of mine Sarah Jewsbury is a very talented Medium who has a column for them and performed a Spirit Rescue. They needed a photographer and she recommended me. Now I am not a professional photographer at all so the whole thing was very nerve wrecking but enjoyable at the same time! I felt very privileged to be a part of this wonderful process and to work with such lovely people. To be featured in the wonderful Spirit and Destiny is a great honour and to see my photographs in print is very exciting! It was a very interesting story about this spirit Catherine who had attached herself to this house and to the client due to the fact that she couldn't move on so Sarah performed the rescue to help her do so, to cross over. She did this with the help of a spirit guide. You can read the whole story in the magazine which is just out now. If you would like to find out more about spirit rescue I'm sure Sarah would be happy to talk to you. 

Bright October blessings to you,

New Moon Meditation exercise..what words do you see?

New Moon Mediation exercise.*´¯`•.¸¸. ♥ What words do you see?

It is a wonderful new moon tonight with all the magick and promise of new beginnings that arrive at this time.

Sometimes it is hard to know what you need to concentrate on in your life at any one particular moment in time. So try this exercise: have a look at the picture and see what word or words jump out at you. You may just see one or you may see two or three. 

Whichever words you get meditate on those words to see where you might like to make changes, improvements or just focus your life a little differently. You may take the words literally or metaphorically. For example you may get 'climbing' that could mean you have been meaning to book a climbing holiday, or you want to climb higher in your job, or you need to climb out of the hole you feel that you are in. If you get the word mineral, does it mean your body is deficient of certain minerals or is there a mineral or crystal that you would like to purchase for the home?

So have a go and see, what word or words do you get? They are random words, they may strike a chord with you, they may not. If they don't is the word you are searching for missing? What is it? 

Have fun, enjoy the magick and take a little time to ponder on how you will use this fabulous new moon energy.

moon blessings, 
Alison
