Discover Winter Solstice Manifestation – the most powerful day of the year to manifest your dreams. Let me tell you how this all got started. This is the time of year when Christmas letters come rolling in. They make me realize that everyone’s goals and accomplishments are different. I usually don’t write a holiday letter but if I did, here are some highlights I’d share with you from 2023. 2023 Highlights I’m in the top 5% globally for podcasts Put the garbage out 52 times – yay! Went on a trip to Cape Cod with my husband and came back with Covid Washed and folded 102 loads of laundry Read 29 books Watched the sunrise at the beach with my good friend and went to breakfast Discovered the Sunflower Pose, bringing me joy Learned a new healing technique that has helped a number of clients Hmmm, not quite the same as my friend’s list is it? But what I realized was everyone doesn’t have the same kind of goals. My goals reflect the way I live and how I count on my intuition to lead the way. Magical Moments When it comes down to it, I find that my most memorable moments of the year are the magical ones like: Noticed a lot of synchronicities Received messages from my basil and zinnias plants The moths in my garden came to visit me and did a little dance on my arm Took a Celtic shamanism workshop where I met Merlin, who told me that I was on a journey with no set destination, map, or guide Learning to accept what is, and in turn am finding more joy in every day!

Ever wish you had a great love spell without any bad karma that could help you attract the romantic partner you’ve been dreaming of? In this podcast episode, you’ll hear about the best love spell ever, plus a lot more on modern love and Tarot. First of all, she wasn’t born with the name Venus. She created the pen name to separate her personal and professional life. Good choice! Worshipping Aphrodite How did she decide to focus on Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess and equivalent to the Roman Venus? This began when she was a teenager and the Goddess of Love had great appeal. She was very relatable, since she had flaws like jealousy which made her seem more human. Venus’s mother had been a Wiccan follower and brought her up with that as her spiritual foundation. Even though her mom started out Irish Catholic, she came to this mystical path after graduating from high school. Becoming a Professional Tarot Reader Then I asked how she started doing Tarot readings as her work. In college, Venus studied theatre, performing arts and speech therapy. Somehow she became an administrative assistant at a laboratory. But all along, on the side she was doing readings for people. Then suddenly, she was let go from her job. Venus didn’t know where to turn, so her first thought was to reach out to a friend who read Tarot in a shop in Salem, MA. She asked if they needed any readers. Lo and behold, they did! Trekking up to Salem to the shop called Enchanted, she was greeted by a giant statue of Aphrodite as she walked in. That bit of synchronicity let her know immediately she was in the right place! What a clear and poignant sign. Years later, Venus still works at the sister shop today called Stardust. She said it was fate-entwined and I couldn’t agree more! How lucky that she didn’t have to flounder or wonder at all – her next career simply fell into place. Magic Is Like Prayer I asked what her magic is like and how she helps her clients. Venus thinks that many people still view magic and Wicca like something out of Hollywood. But the fundamental truth is magic is like prayer with actifiers. What’s an actifier? Crystals, incense, and words (or even rosary beads). It is just words like prayers. When Venus talks about spell work, she says the words you use have to have equal importance to the intention you put into the spell. Here’s an analogy to help you understand. Let’s say you have a souped up car, but if you don’t know how to drive, the car is useless. Or visa versa, if you’re a great driver but your vehicle is falling apart, you’re not going to get any where. Want to heal your heart before you look for love? Listen to this! The Love Spell When it comes to love spells, the Love Doll Spell is the one Venus shares with clients. You have two dolls that are kept separate within your home at first. Every day for a week, you move the dolls closer to each other. On the last day you put them together into an envelope, wrap them together and seal the envelope. This works to bring the romantic partner you seek toward you. The spell also works like a daily reminder that someone is coming to you. It puts you in the driver’s seat because you are the one bringing the doll closer to you. This gives the person who wants the romance a feeling of power. Important note: Venus only does this kind of spell work to attract the right person, not a specific person. She insists there must be autonomy or consent or she won’t be a party to it. Without this, it wouldn’t be a love spell – it would be a manipulation of some form. I love this idea! It’s so magical and has a strong physicality that offers powerful energy. A very creative and clever method to call in your match. It’s like the Law of Attraction, pulling in what you want to you by becoming an energetic match to it. Many Types of Love Next, I wanted to know how she came to give such good relationship advice. Venus admitted it wasn’t through her family and we laughed. Growing up, she had more misses than hits, but she did learn as she went along. Venus ended up in a good relationship with her husband by thinking about what kind of love she wanted. She preferred to sidestep the idea of “I’ll know it when I feel it” and sought a more concrete way to find her match. Venus decided to think of the different kinds of love to better define what she wanted in a partner. There’s familial love for family. Platonic love for friends. Physical love for celebrities or people she might meet at a bar. (I call that sexual attraction.) And romantic! This is how she came to define love for herself and what would work for her in a mate. Of all those loves, what did she want? More than romantic love seemed appropriate. Maybe a bit of platonic love, and a dose of familial love so he feels like family. Add a dash of physical love like seeing a stranger at a club. I was fascinated by this process and thought it was amazing. Back in my dating coach life, I had my clients make a list of what they wanted. But Venus’ method was a stroke of genius. Listen to more on the Tarot here. Exploring Aspects of Love When Venus was younger, she read a book called The Ethical Slut which was about different kinds of love. This included open relationships and polyamory which appealed to her when she was young. She says it’s a good read even if you’re monogamous, explaining how to find safety and identity. It teaches you how to release the aspect of control which limits how you go about relationships. When you allow others to be who they are, it takes the pressure off yourself as well. Then you can be more focused on living your life, authentically and ethically. Ultimately, Venus says being in a good relationship involves open communication and addressing things right away as they come up. Venus had some other gems to share about the difference between Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers in relationships, but you’ll have to listen to the podcast to enjoy the rest. She talked about three exciting workshops coming up in February 2024 at the shop where she works. Check the website for details when posted in January. Workshops at Stardust BIO – Venus Venus is a born and raised witch who resides in Salem, Massachusetts.

Curious about the Faerie Realm? My guest reveals her real-life stories of the Fae, opening the Fae Portal and connecting with your heart and mind. Fae Folk in America Contrary to popular belief, the Fae Folk can be seen across the globe. Even here in America, you might encounter faeries and elementals while taking a walk in the woods or in any wild place in nature. I’ve seen them in my own backyard! My guest this week, Barb Gallagher, visits a special wooded area with a babbling brook that was once part of amusement park that is like an open door to the Faerie Realm. She thinks the residual joyful energy from that park of the past attracts all sorts of Fae Folk to the spot. Who Are the Sidhe? I asked Barb about all the kinds of faerie folk she’s seen which are quite a few. First, we talked about the Sidhe, which are descendants of Tuatha de Danann who were children of the Goddess Danu. This is from Celtic mythology. Other common names for the Sidhe are the Shining Ones and the Good People. They are Fae royalty, tall with long blonde hair in earth colored clothing. Think of Orlando Bloom in Lord of the Rings – so handsome with those pointed ears! Then she revealed that she has a Sidhe guide, a male who she has spent many lifetimes with. Today, he encourages her when it comes to learning about the faerie realm and offers guidance about communicating. Sepia-Toned Creatures One time she was walking in the woods and had just put down an organic apple as an offering, when she was suddenly surrounded by hundreds of sepia-toned beings about 2.5 – 3 feet tall. Barb freaked and ran out of the woods. She explained how this was a great honor, but she never expected to see so many at once and felt unsafe alone in the woods. It was frightening and she shut down. Later, she went again and just one of the gnome-like creatures came forward. Barb apologized for running off and expressed her fear. He told her that she’s never alone in the woods and pointed to her Sidhe guide. Brian Froud has captured what many of the faeries look like, but he focused on the not so pretty type. This reminds me of my own experience when I told Pan, king of the elemental world, that I was ready to see them. Suddenly hundreds of unattractive beings stepped forward through the tall grasses at the edge of my property which shocked me completely. Sending them away, saying I wasn’t ready, I felt shame and terribly sorry. I didn’t mean to be insulting but I should have asked to see a few at first to get used to them. Tree Spirits, Sylphs, & Undines Next, we talked about dryads which are tree spirits. Every tree has its own dryad and they facilitate communication between trees. I once stood on a massive stump and discovered how vibrant it still was, even after being chopped down! My husband felt this too although he’s not into the woo. Trees, even when chopped down, broken, or rotting, still communicate with and nourish other trees. Stone beings have spoken to Barb in those same woods. When you see a tree with roots that seem to grow out of the rocks or down over them, this is a sign that faeries are in the area. She learned this from Celtic Shaman Jane Burns and I took a class with her myself on this same topic! So, keep your eye out for that when walking in the woods if you’re looking for the faerie realm. How do the elementals differ from the fae? The elementals are about the earth, so beings like sylph which are air beings and undines which are water beings. The sylph help the dandelion seeds spread through the air. And I’ve seen the Undines at the Westport, CT library which sits near the river. They jumped, flipped, and splash like dolphins. Barb thinks of the faerie realm as including both the Sidhe, little faeries with the wings like pixies, and the elementals. A bit more Celtic lore, the Sidhe had a battle eons ago with the Malaysians living in what is now Ireland and they lost. So, they agreed to live underground in the other world. Sidhe actually means from the mound. Why Talk to the Faerie Realm? This is all a lot of fun, but I asked Barb what she gets out of communicating with the Fae or what she learns. Barb says her heart gets full and sometimes she hears beautiful messages. One time she had hurt her back and she heard intuitively to go outside and lay of the grass in front of her garden. She laid down on her back in the sun and a blue being swam through the ground taking stuff out of her back and when it was done, she got up and her back felt good again. She’s also been guided to make flower essences for other people and she follows the advice. Later, looking up what she made, Barb discovered it was perfect for the emotional healing a neighbor needed. Going back to how her heart gets full, I asked what that was about. She said she felt a part of her that was missing was returned. I suggested that she might have felt connected to everything. It’s only through our human lens that we feel separated, but that is not true. Opening a Fae Portal What about Fae Portals? Barb took a class with a woman who taught about the Faerie Realm. She received an email saying that the Fae requested portals be opened on a certain day in the United States, so they could interact more easily with people. The Fae wanted to start bridging the gap. One day she was at a friend’s cabin in the woods with her husband, and she followed the instructions to open a Fae Portal. Fast forward a year, she and her husband were walking through the woods near the cabin again. Suddenly, her husband stopped and pointed out a strange occurrence. Leaves were floating 3 feet above ground moving in a circular pattern that was parallel to the earth! This was a bit shocking to him since he wasn’t familiar with faerie magic. Then Barb recognized where she was and remembered she had opened the Fae Portal a year earlier. This was their faeries’ way of letting her know her efforts had worked and they appreciated what she did on their behalf! Amazing. Yet, when she went to Ireland, hoping to meetup with the Fae there, she was instructed not to even try it. The human- Fae relationship there is more contentious. Over time, humans started blaming the Fae for things that happened. For example, if a cow died or the milk was sour, they accused the faeries. How to See the Fae Start by connecting with nature. Set the intention to see and talk to the Faeries. Come from an honest place in your heart with love. And do your best to trust what happens. You might see them first or hear them – everyone is different and this is dependent on how your own intuition works. For me, I read a lot about the faeries and elementals. I read several books about the Findhorn Garden in Scotland – they grew amazing vegetables with the help of the elementals, plant devas and more. In addition I read several Tanis Helliwell’s books including My Summer with the Leprechauns and The Elves of Lily Hill Farm by Penny Kelly, among many others. I hope Barb and I inspired you to go outside and commune with nature and the faeries because they’re real! The post Listen To Real Life Stories of The Faerie Realm appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

Manifestation Coach, Danielle Marggraf, shares her journey from poverty to prosperity by using her body, not her brain, to attract wealth. She explains the Law of Polarity and choosing what to focus on to manifest abundance. The podcast discusses the challenges of shifting from a lack mindset to embracing abundance and the importance of somatic healing. It also explores the power of making firm decisions, aligning with one's purpose, and embodying success to attract wealth.

Stuck in a thought loop that makes you unhappy? It’s time to focus on what you DO want, vs. allowing your brain to dive into negativity. I’ve been giving that advice out lately to friends, family and clients. This stems from the Law of Attraction which states “Like attracts like”. What that means is if you keep thinking about what you don’t want and feeling badly about it, unfortunately, you could get more of the same! Here’s a tenant from Hawaiian Shamanism: “Energy flows where attention goes” It sure does. That’s why you want to catch yourself in that negative and unproductive thought loop and shift your thinking to what you DO WANT! Makes sense doesn’t it? Not so easy but it can become a new habit when you set that intention. Plus, it offers not only relief but also helps you create what you DO WANT! That’s a much better way to go, right? So, that got me thinking. Does this message apply to my life? It sure does and this links back to my last podcast snack about How to recover from a big fight fast. Turns out, I’m not totally over it – LOL. Although I’m so much better now. Listen to this very short podcast snack and find out what it’s all about and how you can apply this helpful method to your life as well. You know, in case you do any unwanted, repetitive thinking… The post Focus On What You DO Want – Podcast Snack appeared first on Intuitive Edge.
