I paint angels.  I have done this ever since I can remember.  

After 9/11,  I painted 1000 angels.  Now the world has once again slipped into the dark side.  When I heard that small children in the Israel/Palestine conflict were being asked to write their names on their bodies before going to school so that if they didn’t come home they could be located (or bits of them could be located) I was shocked.  It is a wicked thing.  Caring is not enough.  We have to act, and my 1000 ANGEL PROJECT II is my way of response.  Raising the spiritual level of our conversation, thoughts and ways of being.

You may remember my first Project “THE 1000 ANGEL PROJECT” and it took a number of years to complete.  I don’t just paint angels, Every morning without fail I spend time with them.  It is a precious time and one that I can now indulge, and spend more time than I ever have in our treasured dialogue. The angel to the left is a rather large one, and I am painting both large and small.

My angels help me with the everyday issues of life. For those of you who ask such questions, I am not trying to be equal with God or trying to be God – although I have prayed with the intention of feeling the presence of God.  This is not the same.  My angel is a Divine being and like us has the “vibration” of God that is unique to us all.  In some way we are all angels.  You might know this intellectually, but for whatever reason have not found your Divine Partner.  You may have read of Saints and the Holy ones who lived and spoke with their angels and thought “they are special, gifted, holy – they can do this but I can’t”.

You are reading this because you are willing to try again… You are willing to explore this magical land.  When you do make contact your Angel may say “bless you, where have you been? – I have been waiting for you”.

My paintings could be your way of speaking with your angel.  They have gone to hospitals, hospices, schools…and of course CHILDREN who always respond in wonderful ways to the energy of Angels, and in every country around the globe.  You can donate one to a school, hospital, or person close to you.  Caring is not enough – as before I donate my angels.  For every three I sell, I donate one…  

I look forward to hearing from you.  Perhaps you can help? Hop on to the drop down menu “ANGELS” above from time to time to see the angels in progress,  and of course you can buy from me or from etsy.  I am just building a stock before I go on line, but you can waitlist.   It’s Christmas soon and you can gift, or donate your angel to someone in need.  Email me.   yogafirst2@bigpond.com

Dear Yogis,

Good morning.  It is a bit cold and damp but my little wood fire is burning better and longer than it ever has before,  thanks to the tweaking given by my flue cleaning person.  He even adjusted the door, a design fault I have been trying to get action on since I bought the stove.

With all the terrible news about casualties in Israel and Palestine, and the Ukraine vs Russia (with no reasonable end in sight for either), it leaves the 9/11 incident in the cold.  After 9/11,  I painted 1,000 angels (of all sizes) in memory of those who lost their lives – it took a couple of years.   I was gratified that many children came to the gallery and purchased tiny angels with their pocket money (even on lay-by) in memory of a person who had died.  The angels were given to patients in hospital, mums who needed support, children needing a friend… they even travelled to India and Tibet.

I am going to paint angels again (starting today) until the conflict ends – however long that takes.  I will let you know when they are on Etsy.

I am also writing about how you can contact your angels.  I think at this time we need to lift the spiritual vibrations and working with angels in whichever way we can is one of the easiest and most effective things we can do.  Imagine what would happen if we all did our morning meditations with angels, and worked with them at every moment we could.  I am sure the world would be a brighter place.

If you want to talk angels with me, or anything else, then I will be at the gallery in Mt.Macedon (down the lane beside the Trading Post) on Sunday morning the 5th November from 10am to 1pm. This co-incides with a notified power outage in Woodend and surrounds, so you might as well visit me rather than freeze at home!  Mt.Macedon is NOT affected by the outage (of course!).

GOOD MORNING YOGIS 

Although the Tarot Card is not runes, the group of pentacles (a very auspicious sign), look like runes.  The runes are an ancient method of contacting the Gods, looking into the future, and generally trying to make sense of a time or situation that is troubling.  Like the Tarot they can be as simple or as complex as you can make them.  There are days that I do a three card reading, even a one card daily “draw” and both of these can be applied to the tarot (or anything else).

I am working on a Tarot Deck for the blind, however, that may be postponed whilst I look at the runes and try and adapt them to the same community.  However, no matter what method you use, it will still be only the method you prefer to go inwards.  Another kind of meditation – the same as prayer.  For those who say that Runes or tarot or crystals are unchristian, take a peek at the Jewish traditions – they used everything, including crystals which were sewn onto the front of the Rabbis’ breastplate to consult in times of trouble.  Many people use the bible as on oracle, opening it at random and choosing a verse that seems to “speak” to them.  There is nothing new, different, threatening or frightening.  It has all  been done before. …. nothing “unchristian”, it all depends on your intent.

However – I am still waiting for you to sit with me on zoom or at the Studio for your own reading.  Email me. yogafirst2@bigpond.com
