We have a partial solar eclipse happening on Saturday April 30th at 18:45 UTC , and I’ve been feeling the churning this past week:

Shadow aspects, unhappy memories, frustrations, and discontents – it’s very like the eclipse to bring these things to the surface.

I journeyed to the Cailleach (Cal-y-ack) today for a client as part of my Soul Ascension program. An ancient Celtic goddess of power, wisdom, and the sacred darkness, the Cailleach is also known in other cultures as the crone, Hecate, or goddesses of the underworld.

I’ve been helping my client work on themes of ancestral healing, reclaiming ancestral power, and manifesting a more soul-centered and aligned life through Spirit and the stones.

In ancient lore and mythology the dragon is the ultimate test: facing the dragon makes the hero great. In the stories of our lives, facing the dragon means facing your deepest fears or obstacles with the intention to overcome. It means facing YOU.

The sheer ferocity and invulnerability of the dragon also represents the power of your soul. You don’t ultimately slay the dragon, in overcoming its challenge you become it, you embody that power and more of your true self.

I often make mention of the shadow self here on my blog, and it’s the basis of a full module of training in my Pro Crystal Healer program, due to the immensely painful effect it has on our lives. That being said, the shadow can be misunderstood or misrepresented as our inner villain, but it’s more closely defined as our wounded self, or wounded warrior.

In Druid lore, the liminal point was sacred — a threshold between realms, time, space, and consciousness. In our modern age, we’re more familiar with trance, hypnosis, psychedelics, and meditative states when it comes to working with the liminal point, but the value and boon of threshold magic has never left human experience.

So you’ve got choices in how you want to work this Scorpio full moon energy: is there some deep desire you’d like to have manifest, or is there something you wish to be freed from?

It’s mind-boggling to think that there’s a part of us inside that fights us on making positive changes in our lives.

If something’s going to make our lives better, happier, healthier, why can’t we just do it? What gets in the way?

Obsidian is a powerful crystal that supports shadow self healing, psychic protection from the dark arts, and increases psychic sight.

The truth of my experience is that not all protective crystals work the same -- what you work with very much depends on what’s affecting you and what you need.
