Frolicking
Fae - September 2015
By Terri Clement
Using the Enchanted Oracle by Jessica Galbreth and Barbara Moore.
You simply can't make this stuff up! Looking at the draw for this month, once again, one would think that I hand selected these cards for this month. I can assure you that this definitely was not the case. I shuffled and shuffled and shuffled some more, with my focus being “What is the most important message to send for the month of September?” These in fact, were the first three cards off the top of the deck.
The colors in this draw are splendid for this
time of year, fading greens, yellows, oranges, and sumptuous red. All
perfect colors for transitioning into the fall season. Looking
strictly at the colors the focus for September is life, death,
renewal, hope, happiness, power, strength, desire, and most
importantly love.
The beginning of the month is a time
to find pleasure in the simple joys of life. This isn't a time to
throw out all responsibility, but it's important to remember the old
saying, “All work and no play...” - And no, this isn't a Stephen
King, Shining reference. :D
This is a reminder to do what needs to be done, but to make the time
to do joyful things as well. Maybe you are working too hard or
worrying too much? Make time to PLAY! Create plans with a friend,
re-read your favorite novel, or maybe watch your favorite movie. The
meaningful message is finding joy in the little things in life and
allowing yourself to experience that.
Halfway through the month
we will be shifting our summer thoughts to that of autumn! Cooler,
brisk air moves in. The leaves are turning color and falling to the
ground. It's time to bring out the cozy sweaters, spiced cider, and
pumpkin spice everything.
Honor the
change of the season. Autumn Equinox is right around the corner and
we are poised between Light and Dark. This a very important time for
the Fae, so be sure to celebrate them as well. Maybe take a glass of
wine or cider outside, on the nearest full moon and toast the Fae.
Drink a bit and then pour the rest on to a rock or the ground as an
offering for the Wee Folk. Leave the last apple in the tree, the last
berry on the vine to keep peace with the Friendly Ones.
This
is a period to reflect quietly on your accomplishments of the year.
This is not a time to be boastful, but instead sparkle and be confident in your
triumphs.
Looking at the end of the month – the Faeries, I feel are
giggling here as I turn over the card Spirit
of Samhain. For
me, it simply doesn't get any better than this. This is one of the
most magickal times of the year. The Fae don't want it pushed all
into a day or two. They want you to know you can start working with
this powerful magick as early in the season as you get that little
nudge. For some of you that might be in September, while others –
maybe the week before Halloween. Know that this is a time when the
veil between worlds is thinning. This is a fantastic time to do Tarot
Readings and to connect with the Little People. Pay close attention
to your intuition.
A nice stone to wear or carry this month is
Red Jasper.
This is a stimulating but very protective stone. It
is perfect to use as a “worry stone” during times of stress as it
helps calm emotions. The Red Jasper can help with dream recall. It
can also clean and stabilize the aura. The Red Jasper can absorb
negative energy and help balance yin and yang. This stone can also
clear environmental pollution. Red Jasper can help with quick
thinking as it stimulates the imagination and can help motivate one
to turn their ideas into action.
Red Jasper is known as a
stone of health, helping with the circulatory system, blood and
liver.

As
always, I hope you find that this message from the Fae helps guide
you through the ups and downs of this month!! Remember to say a
special little thank you to our Fae Friends for the guidance, insight
and entertainment!
See you again next month and keep the faith!
