Irish Weather - Elemental Forces At Work

Let’s talk about this weather! 

Here we are in the 5th or 6th week of some wild winter weather like we’ve never seen before in living memory….or perhaps it’s that fabled winter of discontent, or the long night of the soul?

So, this is where we find ourselves, at the mercy of the weather, that great ‘starter of conversations’ the world over and something we have learned to moan about, at least in these northern regions where rain, hail, sleet and wind bring down our moods as the wet stuff hits the ground.

But, when we really stop and ponder these deeper aspects of what this might achieve for those of us living here, well, that is something else entirely. Perhaps it’s even akin to a little bit of wonderful.

I know, you are already thinking, there has been nothing wonderful about weeks of darkness, damaging winds, flooding and damp….unless you are safely on higher ground, have your house tethered to the earth like a ship with an anchor and have ancestral leanings towards the mallard family.

However, when I go to sleep at night with the rain pelting, thrumming and roaring on the roof, the wind buffeting the windows, well okay, the windows bowing in and flexing and then wake up the next morning not to a refreshed earth with the sun streaming down after the storm….

No! This winter we’ve been waking up to the exact same clamour, clatter and deafening noise of the elements let loose on the earth as when we went to bed, if anything, it might have only ramped up during the hours of darkness.

So, this begs the question; what’s this all about anyway? What is the purpose of rain, wind, and an excess of churning changing massive force of nature bearing down on us for all it’s worth?

What if something was trying to get through to us? And we are too busy, fearful, asleep, worried and just plain too thick to listen….what might all of these Universal forces being pulled down around us be trying to convey?

What if they needed us to know something along the lines of the importance of our future here on this planet. What if life itself was carried in those winds, star dust and energies from far and wide arriving, implanting and once again taking up permanent residence where once before, long ago they thrived.

I mean, imagine how important this time in history must be – the earth herself is waking up and the only way she can do that is with a nudge and a shake to stir her from her slumber….

Well then, it’s a good time to be alive, isn’t it? 

On My Way - the Doorway

Off to an early start today – after great dreams last night about the garden, herbs and making foods etc. with the garden harvest. It’s always nice to wake up feeling as if you have travelled somewhere important during the night hours…

Or am I the only one who feels that way? LOL

Actually I often have the sense of being very far away at night (and something throughout the day too!) but sometimes it just feels significant or as if there is a very deep purpose to be understood here within the context of my life.

So…I am back on planet earth this morning having ventured into the world of herbs during the night – visiting and exploring these wonderful dimensions and all things Faerie – it always feels like home.

Even though the rain pounded the roots and windows, seemingly all night long – the day is quite still and calm at the moment. And the rain has stopped even though the air is misty and wet.

It’s a real soft Irish morning here in West Cork….you can almost hear the grass grow. Perhaps a day that dreams are made of – one thing I do know for certain, my night dreams (dimension 20) are far more about my life then my waking day.

If that makes any sense, (it does to me) and I have long felt that I am in search of a door to walk through – an energetic portal – in order to shift back into my life, switching dimensions from night into day.

For some reason I even think I know when this reversal happened – and it is medication related….years ago when I was a child and given copious amounts of antibiotics for the strep throats, chest coughs and colds, I always seemed to have.

These antibiotics do far more damage then just knock the life out of us – they rob us of the life we are born to live. Bringing the gut back, repopulating our guts (I have my own methods as a Clinical Nutritionist that really work!) is the only way forward into light and life.

Have a healthy day,

April

Onwards, Towards a Distant Light....

Today has been another good day – once again I fasted all day (since yesterday evening) – which gave me the energy, time and focus to concentrate on some of my projects I have been working on. My plan each day has been to fast until I reach a break through...and it always works. 

It is amazing what an empty stomach can accomplish! LOL

And I am so pleased to say my little Rebel Food Shop is up (well, nearly) and ready to go. It is something I have been doing in the background for several years now in a limited way – not really certain what way to go.

Now I am moving forward and happy to be sharing some more of my favourite family recipes, foods, remedies, healing herbs and spreading the magic where ever I can in new ways.

Check out my Rebel Food On-Line Shop on my main blog for details on some of my foods as well as how to order in Ireland…outside of Ireland – well, we can work out the details! Bear in mind it is a work in progress and more links and details will be posted shortly. In the meantime, please email, text or ring with any queries. 

Because April is kind of my ‘month’ – I generally take stock of who I am, how far I’ve come and where I would like to be in my life, around this time of year. Spring sort of does that to us as well - everything else on the planet is changing so.... Wake up and shake up.

I am happy with my progress over this past year – there have been steady (even through it may appear too slow) changes around me and I am not in the same place I was in. Not even from one month ago…so much has shifted and taken root.

Over the years I have seen my entire life stripped down to nothing – leaving everything behind as we walked forward, towards a distant light, a single brightness that was often cast in shadow.

Even now, I still marvel at how a dream can keep you going, a tiny pinpoint of energy can grow a seed and how when life takes hold – it will sweep you up in it’s embrace and never let you go.
