Welcome back to the blog! It's been another enriching week here at Mayastar. I've had the pleasure of working with a new student on the Energy Anatomy Diploma course...this one's a bit different to my other courses and is intended as a foundation for those new to energy work, or those who want a deeper understanding of the energy body and the way it works. It includes information about the chakras, meridians and layers of the auric field - and covers the workings of these aspects of our spiritual anatomy in detail. It's a great course for anyone intending to work as a healer too! Some people shy away from this type of course as it's composed of a series of assignments that you read and answer questions on - but you really don't need to worry - even if you've not studied anything for a number of years. Each assignment conveys a digestible amount of information about an aspect of the energy body - and there are no deadlines or time limits - you can work at your own pace! The exercises included in the course help you to connect with subtle energy in a more tangible way - and can increase your natural sensitivity and intuition.
Rituals of a Lemurian Priestess: New Moon, Lunar Eclipse
& the Autumn Equinox Portal…
Additionally, I had a lot of Temple work to complete over the Equinox - the alignment of celestial energies with the New Moon, Lunar Eclipse and the Autumn Equinox was a powerful energetic portal! Equinox energy is often challenging - it marks a period of balance so things that are creating imbalance in our lives often come up around this time; I like to think of the Equinox as being a time to consciously release sources of stress or aggravation - to let go of habits that are no longer serving us, creating space for the blessings the Universe intends for us. As such, I amplified the effect of these potent tides by completing a Banishing and Blessing Intensive - usually a 6 day ritual, I completed it over 5 days so that the final ritual for the Banishing and the first for the Blessing were completed on the day of the Equinox. I've used that technique a few times for special workings and it really amplifies the energy - concentrating it and increasing the intensity of the energy build. But because I'd scheduled the double ritual, I also spent extra time in the Temple leading up to it, ensuring all the attunements were prepared for students to receive before the Equinox. (I'm so organised!)
Reorganisation - Paving the Path to Pre-Raphaelism in the
New Year…
Our new shed arrived this week too. Spider has plans for it because it will be used for storing some of my costumes and Victorian clothing - he'll be adding some ventilation and insulation to keep everything tickety-boo! This is one of the main steps in the reorganisation plan...next step is having a good sort out, and organising clothing by colour so I can easily find what I'm looking for when I plan new Pre-Raphaelite projects next year. I think the organising and sorting part will take about a week...but I'm not working to a deadline on it. I prefer to do those big chores in manageable chunks - just so I can be thorough and mindful as I work through it. I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to it!

My Familiar Furbaby…
What else??? Oh yes...something kind of weird happened the other day. This day started out kinda strange! I took the dogs into the garden in the morning as usual, and when they went back into their bed to wait for breakfast, I noticed a huge spider flailing around in their water bowl! It was a weird start to the day. And as I dealt with the spider, it occurred to me that after Tipsy (my cat and familiar) passed in April, and I had connected with her on the astral plane, and within the Temple, I told her she could keep the house free of pests - especially spiders because a lot of them had emigrated from the old shed when it was torn down. Now, it wasn’t a formal request - just a passing comment so I hadn’t thought about it again afterwards. But seeing the spider in the water bowl made me think "nice try Tipsy"! Later on, the same day, I went into the garden to replace the food on the bird table, and as I walked back up the garden, I noticed something turquoise in the grass. I thought it was a bit of litter that had blown in (it was a windy day), so I bent down to retrieve it, and it was stuck fast into the earth. "WEIRD!" I thought! I gave it a yank, and pulled it out from where it had been concealed, buried just under the surface of the earth - and it was Tipsy's old collar. Checking my Amazon shopping history revealed that I'd bought it for her in August 2016 - and my sister remembered me talking about it because I'd got new collars for the dogs at the same time, and the cat only wore hers for a few days before she came home without it. I honestly can't imagine how it got completely covered by earth - and was never disturbed by one of the dogs, or Spider when he was raking up grass. And it sat in there for 9 years. Then, I think one of the magpies must have pulled the end out of the ground that day. Unfortunately I couldn't tell from my security camera because I'd switched that one off, because the movement of the trees in the wind was setting it off! But that definitely made the strange day seem stranger. Almost like a message from Tipsy! I also thought "maybe she was giving me a birthday present..." - because she died the day before her 16th birthday, and I had bought her a new collar for her birthday, which I have been wearing as a wristband for the last 6 months. I could be reading too much into it...or maybe I'm not and maybe Tipsy's making her presence known in more physical ways. Time will tell...and I’ll keep you updated here!

Birthday Celebrations & Presents
from Heaven…
Hello my good friends...and let me start
with a BIG THANK YOU for all the
birthday wishes. My birthday was
fantastic - and the day after, my step
mother popped over with a few of my
dad's treasures for me. Honestly, it felt
like I was getting gifts from my dad in
heaven! I was especially moved by
receiving his Hornby train set - which he
received on his 9th birthday from his
parents. My dad's childhood was
turbulent - his mother died of cancer
when he was a very small child and he
and his brother spent some time living
with their aunt following her death. That
train set might have been the last birthday
present he received from his mum before she died and he'd
treasured it and kept it until he died. And now, I'll treasure it and
keep it until I do! A real piece of family history - and an
unexpected gift! XXX
I also received his bongos - he was a drummer in several folk bands and I have many instruments that gave me over the years. But this year marks 10 years since he died - so receiving these drums was a special moment. And I'll definitely use them in my own compositions too. Other than that, I was generally spoilt rotten and my gratitude journal is overflowing with blessings and beautiful days. All in all, this year's been hectic and productive, but also filled with reasons to smile, and many small (and big) accomplishments to celebrate.
Reflections on a Productive Year & Intention Setting…
The year's not over yet though - I have plans to reorganise my extensive wardrobe - all my corsets and costumes from past photo shoots - with a mind to new projects next year. But with the reorganisation, I'm taking the opportunity to have a good clear out too - and I'm planning to have it all done and dusted by Christmas. I can already envision Christmas with Spider and the furbabies...snuggled under the sofa blankets, watching something festive and sipping my hot chocolate as I admire the Yggdrasil tree, and the stack of neatly wrapped presents beneath it (I'm good at wrapping presents...people often comment on it!), and experiencing that sense of satisfaction and security you get when there's nothing outstanding on your "to do list"! Between us, me and Spider have really achieved a lot this year - personal stuff, professional stuff - all kinds of stuff! A lot of those things you don't actually see, but the changes to home and garden are things you get to appreciate every single day. We’ve been putting a lot of time and love into our home this year and I’m not exaggerating when I say you can feel the difference! “Home” magick is powerful, nurturing and deeply healing.
Energy Healing for Celebration & Happiness…
In other news, this week, I've been working with Unicorn energies - with the Unicorn Love & Light Encoding - a really magickal energy when you're celebrating. If you read tarot, connecting with these energies can give you a bit of an Ace of Cups, 2 of Cups, 3 of Cups vibe - blessings, connection and celebration! It's great for amplifying a good time, or taking the edge off a stressful one. It also combines really well with the Crystal Rose which is a soothing, calming energy I've been connecting with before bed - especially on the nights I'm doing temple work (spells or attunements) late in the night; on those nights, connecting with the Crystal Rose at the end of the session can help me relax and prepare for bed. I've been sleeping really well too! So I must be doing something right.I hope your week is magickal and that you too have plenty to celebrate!Wishing you peace, prosperity and progress in all you do XXXWith blessings,Maya XXXListen to the audio version of this article on the Mayastar PodcastIf this energy update sparked something in your soul, you can show your appreciation by buying me a coffee.
