Whether you own a small yard, have a patio that needs more foliage or live in a rented property, there are plenty of reasons you might want to consider growing some or all of your trees in pots rather than in the ground. Not only can you buy specific varieties for container growing, you may also find you have more choice in what you grow. Read on to learn more.
May you always be happy and thankful with what you have today. May you always harvest and seek the treasure of your heart and not of earth. May you always know the efforts caused by positive or negative thinking and choose positively. May you always know the divine is in me and the true place of worship is within me. Harvest goodness, love and forgiveness shall it be. Blessed be. So it is.
The Celtic harvest festival on August 1st takes its name from the Irish god Lugh, one of the chief gods of the Tuatha De Danann, giving us Lughnasadh in Ireland,and Scotland, and Laa Luanys in the Isle of Man. (In Wales, this time is known simply as Gwl Awst, the August Feast.) Lugh dedicated this festival to his foster-mother, Tailtiu, the last queen of the Fir Bolg, who died from exhaustion after clearing a great forest so that the land could be cultivated. Artists and entertainers displayed their talents, traders came from far and wide to sell food, farm animals, fine crafts and clothing, and there was much storytelling, music, and high-spirited revelry. This was also an occasion for handfasting, or trial marriages. Young men and women lined up on either side of a wooden gate in a high wall, in which a hole was carved, large enough for a hand. One by one, girl and boy would grasp a hand in the hole, without being able to see who was on the other side. They were now married, and could live together for a year and day to see if it worked out. If not, the couple returned to next year’s gathering and officially separated by standing back to back and walking away from each other.
The energy of daisy invites us to reflect upon being your trueself, soul self. It is not hard to be yourself, your true self, soul self. Matter of fact this is what we want to be all the while and so then why aren’t we able to maintain being our true self and making it our way of being, way of life? What makes it hard is one’s holding onto one’s self judgment, outdated habits and patterns that one has learned and acquired from culture, religion, outside influences, limited belief systems, one’s inability to accept, acknowledge and face one’s fears of what one has believed about oneself, the choices you have made good, bad or indifferent and the actions you took to validate your ego self. Daisy is here to help and assist you with softening up that rigidity you have build around you about yourself that you don’t want to look at. Reflect upon those walls. Bring a pot of daisies or a stem of daisy and meditate and ask it to show you how to self accept you so you can let go of this rigidity. Because underneath this wall is your true self, your soul the unique, the giving, the compassionate, the beautiful soul. The energy is available for you to let go and come into self acceptance and embrace the true you. It’s okay if you don’t know you. Accept and begin the journey of knowing you in the now. With the help of Daisy allow this opening of your heart and experience being you. The time is NOW. See you through the eyes of your own soul.
Affirmation: I am now in complete self acceptance of my true self.

Bring on the words of power,Affirm your truth and raise your vibrations,Let go of the stuff that turns life sour,Wave your hands in the air, sun salutations. Happiness is right there, within you,Can’t be found outside you, truth be told,Step back from the madness, and take a pew,Then stand your ground, no less than bold. […] […]
Affirm: I am one with the spiritual world of my true self.
This week the energy invites us to reflect on the Seed. The soul of the seed. A seed is brought to life by its soul and the soul of the seed here is Gaea, Mother Earth. Without the soul, without Mother Earth the physical form which is the seed has no value until the soul breathes and gives life to its physical form, the seed. You the physical form has no value until your soul gives you the seed the life that your soul has designed for you. You are the seed of your soul. In order for you to thrive, to grow, to know how to live, what is best for you, your purpose as the seed of your soul one must connect with the soul isn’t it? If the seed starts to look at other seeds and wants to grow how other seeds are growing and not how it soul wants the seed to grow what do you think will happen? The seed will struggle, the seed will grow painfully because it focused on other seeds than its own. Without your own souls awareness, knowledge, breadth one cannot grow and know there true self. Every seed has its own purpose to serve and to know its purpose that seed must look to his/ her own soul not to anyone else or anything outside of its soul. If GAEA is the soul of a seed then Gaea knows what that seed is capable of doing, what is best for that seed. Does the seeds best interest, purpose is to become a tree, flower, blade of grass what is the seed’s purpose is what soul decides not the physical form. So your soul already has decided and knows what the seed, you is all about. From the birth of the seed, you till your life’s end your soul has designed her/his seed’d life already. No one outside of me can know that because they are not my soul, not my source of knowledge, information not my path. Be the seed of your soul and watch the magick. Magick comes from being one with our true self, one with our spiritual world.
