Shifts, Energy Healing Practice &

Clearing Negative Karma

5th October 2024…Muses…Well, it’s officially autumn! Here in the UK the weather has shifted after some late summer sunshine in September, and I’m starting to prepare for “spooky season”. My favourite time of year!

The Goddess Idun, Wolf Medicine

Shamanism & Samhain Rituals

This Samhain festival will coincide with the dark moon phase and therefore, with the opening of the Killing Moon Cycle - it’s perfect timing and I’ll be working that cycle for myself too! It’s a time for energetic decluttering and clearing, and this week I’ll also be performing a ritual for some of my clients that connects with the Norse Goddess Idun. She’s often perceived as a Goddess of Spring because she’s the deity that hands out the apples of immortality to the gods in Norse mythology so her energy is all about renewal and life; but I like to connect with her around the equinoxes because there are other aspects of her mythology that connect her with Wolf-Spirit energy! In an obscure story about Idun from an old Norse poem called “Hrafnagaldr Oðins” (Odin’s Raven Spell), her descent from Asgard to a lower level of being is explored. She becomes shell-shocked and paralysed; unable to speak and unable to get herself out of her predicament. She is given a wolf- skin (though the story isn’t clear as to who donates this), which she puts on. This shamanic tale sees her adopting the energy of the wolf, becoming wilder, stronger and more ferocious. With these new qualities integrated into her being, she is able to resolve her situation and navigate the lower worlds. It’s a story of empowerment and awakening. But I also find it reflects an important lesson for Lightworkers: STAY GROUNDED! I feel like this vibe is also reflected in this week’s course offer for the Goddess Athena Fearlessness Activation - and even the week-ahead energy reading (scroll down) starts with the 8 of Swords - which can be about fear, limiting beliefs and being stuck; but it ends with a transformation through the Hanged Man, and an assumption of power, courage and strength in the Queen of Wands. This energetic current is very powerful - it’s the perfect time for overcoming the limitations of the past!

Energy Healing with Animal

Energies…

At this time of year, as the solar current wanes, focusing on clearing negative energy, protecting your energy field and protecting your home are great ways to harness the energetic tides. And if you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know that in spring and autumn I work more with animal energies (Lightworker Animal Empowerments and Animal Medicine Empowerments) - and this year is no exception! I usually work with bear energy but this year, I’m focusing more on wolf energy in my morning energy healing sessions because I’ve been working on that Idun ritual. It’s definitely an energy I like to connect with outside and while observing nature as the seasons change.

Long Hair Update…Henna & Haircut…

In other news…this week I cut about 6 inches off my hair! It kind of needed it - I kept sitting on it and I was starting to worry about giving myself a neck injury! Literally no one noticed it got 6 inches shorter because it’s so long. But that’s the first time I’ve even trimmed it in many years! As I write this, it’s also freshly hennaed - and nothing makes me feel more “Pre- Raphaelite” than freshly hennaed hair! Speaking of which…

The New Pre-Raphaelite Project Plans: Art & Photography…

There are a lot of photographs from my old photo shoots and Pre-Raphaelite projects that I’ve done edits to and reimagined over the years - some of them can be found on this blog! But at some stage I will sort them out and create some galleries on here with some of the images I liked best, and some of the transmutations that evolved from those original images. I can’t decide how to organise them yet - by shoot, by photographer, by time…I’m still in the planning stage! I will create some new art in the future but I feel like I need to sort out and organise the fruits of the work so far before I take that step. I have some ideas for progressing the New Pre-Raphaelite project so watch this space, because this blog is where I’ll share new art and photos. I’ll add a couple of images from the NPR (New Pre-Raphaelite) project to this blog entry. Yes, that’s something I really need to sort out. I had to replace the blog because the old software I used to build it was so out of date; but I was busy with a lot of things at the time and didn’t have the time to copy across all the old blog pages and all the photos and so on. But now that I feel inspired to progress the project, I feel like I should publish some of those older images again so that this blog will reflect the evolution of the NPR project. I’ve got to get up properly now and start the day - my dogs are getting impatient for breakfast…and I need to do a little bit of work this morning before I flump out for a lazy Sunday! Wishing you all a magickal and miraculous week! Bright blessings, Maya XX

Week-Ahead Energy Updates for

Starseeds, Lightworkers, Indigo Children,

Healers & Seekers with Daily Affirmations

to Inspire Positivity & Alignment with the

Law of Attraction!

Welcome back to my cosy corner of the internet. I’m Mayastar, I teach energy healing courses online through Mayastar Academy; create music as a Lemurian priestess, and provide healing, ritual & spell casting services as starseeded shaman & professional witch. And here, I select a tarot deck each week from my extensive collection to elucidate the ethers, and scry the shifting celestial tides on behalf of the collective. These readings are not aimed at any particular person; and you are meant to them at the time their guidance is most relevant to you; so please take only what resonates with you, and leave the rest behind. My musings are intended to inspire, uplift and guide you on your healing journey. In today’s energy update, we will be looking at the dominant energetic influences and the opportunities they’re creating for us now. We will cover the potential for energetic opposition and explore ways we can circumvent problems or mitigate challenges. And finally, I’ll draw daily cards with guidance and law of attraction affirmations that you can use to align with the current energetic landscape and enhance your positive mindset. I’ve chosen the Under the Oak for our etheric explorations today. This is a new deck to my collection and it features depictions of the traditional archetypes with Celtic and Norse inspiration and a manga-like style. The cards convey the story of the fool’s journey through the experiences of a blind girl called Anima – who travels through the cards, encountering their mysteries in order to develop her wisdom and achieve insight. I love the theme and I love the style so that deck is fast becoming a favourite for both reading and pathworking! I’m sure these cards will be a powerful translator of the numinous for us today. So, sit back, relax your shoulders, take a sip of chamomile tea, exhale deeply, and let’s explore… The dominant energetic influence we can tap into over the coming week for the purpose of progressing the spiritual journey & pursuing the path to wholeness is reflected in the 2 of Pentacles. This card recommends us to focus on maintaining a healthy balance this week. “All work & no play makes Jack a dull boy” reminds us that a lack of balance can negatively affect us & those around us. Temper your work ethic with a relaxation ethic this week to ensure you don’t overdo it! Set aside time for self-care, soul-nourishing creative activities, relaxation or meditation. Unwinding your mind creates space for better decision making & efficiency in other tasks. So go with the flow & don’t get too fixated on any one thing this week! The second card identifies the potential opposition we may face in pursuit of the promises of the first card. And this week, this comes in the form of the Death card. This doesn’t mean we might all die this week! In fact, Death in the tarot is rarely negative: it speaks of change & transformation. But today, in its shadowed position, it’s telling us that the thing that might block us from progressing our healing path this week would be a tendency to resist change and growth. If you find yourself dwelling on the past and feeling apprehensive about the future, this week may be the perfect opportunity for setting aside some of the baggage so you can move forward with greater freedom, hope and openness to the magick the Universe intends for you! And now we turn to the daily cards for the week-ahead. These cards depict & define the archetypal energetic influences we can harness to optimise our personal power & increase our inspiration in the coming days.
