January 2013 Message from the Faeries
Greetings! Happy New Year! 2012 was a much anticipated year, and has finally completed. And so we begin a cycle in more ways than one. It is true that we begin another year of 365.25 days: 2013 – the Year of Brotherhood. As of December 22nd, 2012, though, we began a much longer cycle. December 21st was a highly publicized date because it was the end of the Mayan long and short count calendar, the end of a very long cycle. December 22nd, 2012, however was the beginning. The beginning of a new 25,625 year cycle. According to many ancient cultures the 22nd marked the date where the divine feminine moves back onto the scene. For the next 13,000 years she moves into her rightful place next to the divine masculine energy. Balance can be restored as Mother God is expressed and integrated. Cycles are powerful, and it is important to harmonize with them.
I tried to write this message Monday, and yet something told me to wait until today. Why? Because tomorrow is the New Moon, and according to the faeries, this message was to be about honoring the cycles of Nature, specifically the Moon’s Cycles. You see, I tried to force a new thing, and it wasn’t flowing. I kept thinking it should go out Monday – on my time – instead of surrendering to Divine Timing and moving with the flow and rhythm of life. These energies are not meant to constrict us; they are not rules. They are merely meant to support humankind. If we understand the energies of these celestial bodies such as the Moon perhaps we can learn how to move in harmony with these energies, and allow these rhythms to support us. Have you ever felt as if you were going against the grain? Or fighting the proverbial uphill battle? Learning to tune into these cycles can only enhance us and support us on our journey.
The faeries started to download the information for this message in beautiful swirling visuals – they know how to catch my attention. They seamlessly explained the interrelationship of many things. The Moon was the central theme, and it was really about the role the moon plays in our lives, and how we can work with her to support us. I hope to convey clearly to you the many things I was shown.
Just by contemplating the Moon we may come to understand many things. Let us try to understand the Moon by taking a look at what we see, feel, and think. We associate many things with the Moon when we think of her: divine feminine, silver, mother-of pearl, mystery, the subconscious, dreaming, and intuition to name a few. The indigenous always referred to her as Grandmother Moon, as the Moon is a feminine energy. So both the Earth and Moon are feminine, but very different. When one connects with the Earth we typically feel the Mother – this energy is very loving, supportive and nurturing. When we tap into the Moon, however, we get a different flavor of feminine qualities: the Grandmother – the wise sage filled with wisdom and mystery.
As we awaken to the Moon’s energy, we are able to understand the Moon’s cycles. We can see the application of the Law of Rhythm – the ebbing and flowing of nature’s cycles. The Moon demonstrates this in many ways for us. From our viewpoint here on Earth, she teaches us this profound lesson as she moves in harmony with the Sun. The Moon and the Sun are always present, but they choose to take the stage at their appropriate time. The Sun shines all day long while the Moon waits in humble silence. Then when the night comes the Moon shines her light for all to see. The Sun and the Moon do not vie for sky time. No, they gracefully take their turns dancing on the stage of the sky.
Another way the Moon teaches us about finding our own rhythm is through her own monthly cycle. She begins each cycle anew in New Moon phase and slowly builds and grows until she expresses her full potential as Full Moon. This flowing part of the cycle we call waxing. Then she begins to wind down, deconstructing, going within, or ebbing. From Full Moon phase moving down to New Moon phase, we call this cycle waning.
Why is all this important? The faeries explain that we must move back into alignment with the rhythm with life. It is time to step into the flow of the universe. The Moon can help us learn about the ebb and flow of all of life, working in harmony wit
Close your eyes. Breathe. Breathe and feel your heart. Feel the presence of God all around you, and within you. Feel the light that is you. Now in this energy, ask to connect to Grandmother Moon. Feel your love for her, and send it forth to her. Feel her love for you. She is in New Moon phase now. What does New Moon energy feel like? What do you see? How does it feel? See what comes up for you. You can talk to her now. State your intention lovingly: you would like to learn about how you can work together. Ask her to teach you about the Moon cycles and in particular the New Moon. Don’t worry if you don’t think anything is happening. The Moon has many ways of teaching. When you feel like the transmission is complete, thank her. Breathe. Feel your heart. Open your eyes.
Again do not be worried that you did not get anything. Pay attention to your dreams, for the Moon loves to work with our subconscious minds. Sometimes our conscious minds cannot comprehend the encoded energy. That is okay. Allow yourself time to integrate. Feel free to repeat this exercise as often as you like. This can be exciting to do at different phases to see if you distinguish the variances in energy.

Storytelling: Tap into the Heart
December [sigh]. I love the energy of Christmas. The weather gets a nice chill to it. The crisp air is tantalizing. One feels the need to giggle and journey back to that childlike playfulness when seeing the breath as it dances and writhes into shapes both known and mysterious as the warmth clashes with the chilled air. I love this season. The lights are another cause for joyful celebration. They bring such a feeling of magic and glimmer – they remind us of the twinkling faery lights that we sometimes catch a glimpse of out of the corner of our eye. I think this month reminds us of the magic in life. We see children getting excited at the idea of Santa Claus and his team of reindeer somehow making it to even the furthest corners of the Earth to deliver presents to boys and girls all over the world. Our neighbors appear to have been sprinkled with Christmas dust because they, too, have a holiday cheer that you definitely have not noticed all year 
Christmas is a reminder to stop taking ourselves so seriously for Heaven’s sake, and yet what we are to speak about is a most serious topic.
Imagination. Fantasy. Dreaming.  Are these worlds not just as real as our everyday reality? Dreaming and imagination are states of mind that activate our heart. Like portals, they transport us to the higher realms, to Faerie, and beyond. Science shows that when we daydream, create art or simply walk in nature we move us into alpha, a type of brainwave associated with wakeful relaxation and meditation. If we want to access the inner planes we must leave behind the cares of the busy world and awaken the inner child. Through storytelling, imagination and fantasy we pull back the veils and step into the realms of Light.
The faeries say that we, adults, have forgotten how to listen to our hearts (they said “lost our hearts”), and imagination is the way to remembering them again. They said that many of us have forgotten the lost art of storytelling. Storytelling used to be part of most cultures. In fact, there was more truth in a story than in most historical accounts. What is a historical account but someone’s story anyway. Because of the images that December drums up – hot cocoa by the fire, curling up with a good blanket and getting lost in a book, etc. they said it was a good time to bring to remembrance the power that lies within the Story. So what are you waiting for? Let’s have a fantastical experience! Why not get lost in a magical realm where faeries and wizards dance, where frogs turn into princes (or vice versa if you’re not careful), where dragons and dolphins are kin, and where humans remember how to speak and hear the wind, fire, water and Earth. Let this tale arouse your senses, and transport you back to a time when you were led by your heart. Allow yourself for one moment, if you dare, to believe your wildest dreams – and watch them come true! |
Follow Me to the Land of Faerie: 
Now where do we go from here, you ask. Why, we go anywhere! Anywhere you like! Can you imagine 100,000 possibilities? Well, there are more! Is it overwhelming or is it wonderfully delightful? We’ve only just begun.
Allow the music of your soul to seduce you. Allow yourself to be whisked away to the place of your deepest desire.
An enchanted faerie forest…a craggy mountain cliff…an underwater sea kingdom…where the wheel of life points no one knows. Around and around we go. Look ahead! What do you see? A doorway. A portal. Do you have the courage to step through?
A curious traveler has just stepped through the door of his or her own soul. The world is different here somehow. Upon first glance the natural laws don’t appear to function here quite the same way. Up is down, and down is up – you catch my drift.
“Keep going,” a whisper is heard. It is coming from within. It is the voice of the heart. In the distance a waterfall is spotted. Even from here the water can be heard spilling forth. The waters are flowing from some unknown source way up high in the clouds. Clouds? A waterfall flowing from the clouds. The lone traveler walks toward it feeling a sense of purpose arising from deep within. Not knowing why they feel this sensation that is drawing them near. Still a good ways off the traveler begins to squint their eyes; they are seeing flickering lights blinking in and out of sight. They appear to be playing with the flowing waters as if they were ribbons of a Maypole. The traveler rubs their eyes as if that will provide clarity and the twinkles will cease to exist – because if they did then you would not have to believe.
You can turn back now. It’s not too late. Keep going if you dare. You see a sign to your right. It reads: “To Advance Further, Courage Required.” You breathe deeply. Onward with a determined gait now. You can hear the rushing waters roaring over the cliff or the clouds – you are not sure. The twinkling lights are still there, blink as you may, they do not disappear. You are almost out of excuses to satisfy your Doubting Thomas within.
The lights grow brighter. They are colored differently: powder pink puffs, gleaming white orbs, dancing golden disks. They are all around. Somehow you know that these are young nature spirits that have just been birthed into the world through the living primordial waters to bring faery light to mankind’s heart, and to keep the magic alive. You suddenly are cognizant of the fact that you would even know such a thing, and yet before you can ponder how you came to know this, a great swirling light begins to dazzle your eyes. This is too large to wave or whisper away. This luminous ball of light begins to take form. It is the spirit of this place. It sparkles in the sunlight. It has gossamer wings that glisten with the morning dew. Its skin is the color of moon drops, if ever there was such a thing. You can feel its warm and inviting presence and then it guides you to look. Look and what do you see? You peer forward. The waters of the glistening cascades begin to part revealing a mirror that reflects a golden glow.
“Look. Look into the mirror,” the spirit of this place does not speak, but for some reason you know what it says. You step upon the stone path in the elven pool below – each stone taking you closer to the mirror as you go. You get up close. Your heart is racing for you know that this mirror holds the key. The answer to the ancient Mysteries awaits your discovery and you are so close. You know it is the answer you seek. What do you see?
Staring back at you…
Why it is your reflection! What Jubilee!
The Beginning.
Holiday Blessings and Faery Light,
Diomira Rose and the Faeries
