Out with the old and in with the new -- the motto for 2012! Time to let go of what no longer serves you or empowers you. The first place to begin is in your home. Periodic cleansing of your home and all items in your possession  is recommended to keep you clear of unwanted energy. Just as you shower or bath you want to cleanse the energetic part of your life.  Since everything you own

Manifestation is created from the inside out. Imagine the center of the earth where molten lava flows out to solidify into the ground you walk on. Your inner world works the same way. You have your own center of fire in your heart. When you allow your heart to expresses the passion of who you are and what you love it manifests into life in the outer world.

It's October already. Amazing how this year has flown by, faster than last year, I believe. I've been traveling to Europe, got home and it took a while to recover from the jet lag. This past weekend I took part in Shamanic Studies, with Jaes Seis, - powerful weekend. This morning, I reflected on how I got to this point in my spiritual life.

Mercury has been in retro for a month -- at my house it seems like forever! Fortunately it went direct last week. Let's give it another few days and then we should be moving forward at a smoother pace. Today's archetype is the Chef.

Saboteur -- how many ways can you sabotage your dreams and goals? Reflect on the things you've wanted to create and for some reason failed. Underneath all the trauma-drama, you'll find the Saboteur at work. This is a very cunning archetype -- for me, he shows up as logic. I'll get an intuitive hit and I can analyze it to the point that I'd be crazy to do such a thing. That's when I have to reset

Has anyone else felt the effect of Mercury's retrograde this month!? Man-o-mano -- it's kicking up over at my house - computers, email systems, hot water heaters, recording devices -- they are all going haywire. Fortunately the hot water issue is resolved. Recording -- not so well. When planets go retro we're advise to relax, review, reflect . . .  altho, it's hard to relax in a cold shower.

How is your world designed? Colorful? Drab? Exciting friends and new places? Is your conversation lively and refreshing or do you recycle old thoughts and ideas, beliefs and patterns. The Artist Archetype is asking you to look and take stock of your art of living. At how you create your life. Do you paint yourself as a victim or a champion?

New week, new day, new archetype -- last week was a real challenge for me. This week I've decided to change my story -- let go of last week's story and create a new one.  You can do that, you know. Today's Archetype is the Hermit. The Hermit is about going within to find the wisdom and gifts of your life and bring them out to the world to share. You can go within through actual withdrawal from

When you draw the Innocent Archetype card you are being asked to evaluate your relationship to the universal order. Do you have a childlike innocence of trust and faith? Are you hiding in a corner of your life - refusing to venture out? Can you appreciate the gifts of your life and share them with others? The Illuminated Innocent is one of the purest archetypal forms. The Innocent is

When you draw the Lover Archetype card, you're being asked to examine your heart's desires. What does your heart say you want? Do you allow your heart a vote? Do you allow your goals, dreams, and creative ideas to be dropped for better ones? The Illuminated Lover is the pure expression of the heart. When you are doing what you love, your passion radiates from your heart and into the world. The

What a day! Mercury is in retro until the 26th and it is sure playing havoc in my personal world. How about you? When you draw the King/Queen archetype you are beings asked to assess your relationship to your world. Do you have reign over your life? Are you taking full responsibility for your expression of personal power? Do you simply give the illusion of power while your world is crumbling?

Can you believe that it is August already? I think the Magician or the Wizard is making time disappear.

What a way to start off the week with Hermit. When you draw the Hermit Archetype you're being asked to examine how you retreat from your world. Do you need to retreat and regenerate?  Are you hiding your feelings and hurts? What gifts are you hiding from yourself and others? The Illuminated Hermit balances light and dark. She regenerates by going to a quiet place to reflect and evaluate her

The Alchemist ask that you examine what needs to change in your life. Beliefs?  Actions?  Habits and patterns?

How honorable are you in your commitments to yourself. The Illuminated Olympian is in the game to win. Never wavering from the goal. The Shadow Olympian never gets off the starting block, much less making it to the finish line. As a person

Bully Archetype represents Power. What is your relationship to power? Does your Bully push you beyond your comfort zone? Or keep you cowering in the corner? The Illuminated Bully is a big supporter and a great leader. He knows when to push the boundaries beyond your present skills into the uncharted territory of yet-to-be revealed talents. The Shadow Bully is the flip side of the Coward

Brrrr -- it is cold and getting colder here in Madison WI. The temperature at the moment is 2 degrees. High projected to be 12 degrees. Excellent day to stay inside by a warm fire to reflect and ponder the archetype of the week. The Sage/Crone is the archetype of the Week. Very fitting for the last twelve days before Christmas, and the closing out of 2010. The Sage/Crone asks that you review

Thanksgiving is over, the holiday shopping rush started on Black Friday. Were you one of the brave ones out there with the crowds or did you stay home and eat leftovers? This week's Archetype is the Coward. The Coward is a very interesting archetype and one of my personal set. When you draw the Coward Archetype card you are being asked to examine your fears.  Are they real or imagined? How

Monday was a day of chaos and challenge for my family.  I got an early SOS --- my son's car battery was dead, and the members of his household had to get to work and school in different directions. As a result, my day, and plans were shifted and rearranged. So, why am I sharing this on the Archetype of the Week?  I'm sharing because these life experiences  -- which take us out of our routines

Thanksgiving is ten days away. Christmas, Hanukah, and Kwanzaa are close on its heels. Weren't we just celebrating New Year's 2010 last week? Who stole this year? This week's card is Thief. When you draw the Thief Archetype card, you're being asked to bring him in for questioning. What thievery is going on in your life?  When do you rob  yourself blind?  Do you steal your own self-confidence?

If you want to learn how to do life -- find a two-year old and follow them around for a few hours. Children are great teachers -- they are open and honest about life. They like what they like, cry when unhappy, laugh when happy and sleep when they're tired. A two-year-old lives life to the fullest his day is filled with boundless creativity -- ever seen a child make a rocket ship out of a

When you draw the Detective, you're being asked to search the patterns of your life. Are you always stuck asking "why," or do you find clues and move on? The Detective is about revelation; he helps you discover the unknown parts of your creativity and spirit that you've kept hidden from yourself and others. Perhaps you have a dream that you've hidden because you think others will laugh. Or

If I were running the world, every person on earth would be a Hedonist. Illuminated Hedonist, that is. When you draw the Hedonist Archetype card, you're being asked to examine your relationship to your physical world. Do you experience the joy of living through taste, touch, sight and sound?  What senses do you not allow yourself to enjoy?  Too often you are critical and judgmental about how

When you draw the Magician/Wizard Archetype card, you are being asked to examine the illusions you are living and believe to be true. How many spells have been cast upon you? Did a person of authority tell you that you are too good or not good enough? What illusions can I release? Allow the magic of the Illuminated Magician/Wizard to see beyond your self-imposed limitations and create new,

When you draw the Prince/Princess card you are being asked to explore your relationship to the power of your work with others. Are you only pretending that you are serious about your work? Are you taking full responsibility for learning everything you need to know. What do you want in life? Can you visualize your dreams? Do you trust yourself to bring them into reality.

Sometimes people get the Coward Archetype card and want to put it back. That was my first reaction in Carolyn Myss's class when I realized that the Coward was one of my major archetypes. That is so not who I am, I declared, but it was. The Illuminated Coward goes beyond fear to experience courage, while the Shadow Coward never steps out of limitation in order to move forward. When the Coward

Life is an art form. What art form is your life? The Artist Archetype expresses creativity. The Illuminated Artist is the awareness of your personal art of living. The Shadow Artist never allows your creativity to be developed or thrive. I heard woman put down her creativity, thinking it's all about drawing. "Oh, I can't draw a straight line," she said. Of course not, straight lines are drawn

The Detective is an excellent archetype for this time of the year when you are formulating your goals for 2010. The Detective is about Revelation and is asking that you search the patterns of your life to discover where you are empowered or dis-empowered.   While the Illuminated Detective gathers the clues, bits of a puzzle, to solve life's problems -- the Shadow Detective goes to the outside

The Chef, which represents renewal, was the first archetype I drew for 2010. What a great energetic pattern for a new year. The Illuminated Chef asks that you examine your life recipes. Are they old and outdated? Do you need to spice up the way you're living? Or is 2010 going to be the same old, same old while you wish away the days hoping for something different? The Shadow Chef believes the

A New Year -- On the first  day of a new year we feel as if we have a blank page ready to be filled with new and exciting things.

This New Year let's look at all the good things about ourselves, our lives and what we've

“There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results.” Commitment -- did you make goals or resolutions for 2010? How committed are you to what you want to achieve this year?  Each year I make a new goal matrix and check how many of the

Oh, my goodness what a busy year this has been. I've heard so many people say that it is way too soon to be celebrating Christmas, and yet here it is. In Madison WI we got hit with a blizzard just after I got home from California. That's always a shock -- to go from mid-60's and somedays 70 degrees to minus 2 and below.

Intuition – What is it? Who’s got it? And . . . How to develop yours! Intuition is an instinctive, unspoken energy that comes to you in symbols and metaphors; your task is to discover how your intuitional system works and how to interpret the information. First of all, you must release fear, judgments, and the need to be right. When fearful you second guess and analyze information rather than

The stories you tell about your life define you as a person. These stories tell others who you are and how to treat you. Their perception of you is based on the stories you tell, and their responses to you reflect and reinforce the messages that you send.Those responses cause you to believe that this is who you actually are and that your story is true and unchangeable.
