  • Tarot Talks – The Devil Card – Dark Night of The Soul – The Cycle of Stress

    I want to introduce you to my shadow side.

    The side of me that is very familiar with the traits of XV – The Devil.

    You know, the tarot card.

    This is a part of me that remains so active as the shadow to my light.

    The sad thing is, I keep inviting it in more than my joy.

    I made a sigil candle once, and well, I had this shadow tell me that the joy I have is never going to last. I then found out after trying to light this bright yellow candle I infused, it fell off my nightstand and broke the glass.

    7 years of bad luck?

    No, but it was enough to wake me up to see how certain I had felt. That this time of dark night would happen. Welcome to the star in reverse, the shadow in which I like to call my self-sabotage.

    This Devil archetype loves to play this game almost every day of my life. The part of my psyche that tells me that you are not a woman, you are more a man.

    The part of myself that asks shallowly, how can one be so swollen in the belly with no child bore?

    The part in which my body continues to ache for love, attention, and need of liberty from the pain in my reproductive area.

    Like a howling wolf crying on a dark, wet, rainy full moon night. My emotions become so sick, tired, and even depressed. So stuck in this cycle, I almost paused in this moon cycle from my monthly banishing I felt I required, I simply didn’t feel I was seeing enough change to do so.

    The night air so sharp, wet, and inviting, it’s drenched with unspoken mystery. No words of promises, or any words for self really. Just feelings I could easily do without.

    The only things shown to me were introduced as isolation. Upon the very thought of filling that void, experiencing other negative thoughts, and even harsh feelings like disapproval.

    This is its main course. For a lovely side dish, visions of me vicariously living a life of obsession that can only be soothed by carbs and a ‘poor me’ theme song.

    To be Continued…..

  • Music Helped Manifest My Spiritual Journey

    I have been interested in music for a long time. I feel I started using it before my spiritual awakening.

    I feel music was actually the catalyst for it.

    I remember being outside a lot. I would listen to music on the swing facing the woods in my parent’s yard; daydream, sing, and really think of my goals. I would get my motivation and creative fire ready to go!

    I feel that it really helped me manifest love, friendships, and lessons.

    I also found it helped me keep my faith up.

    I would suggest working with the songs that inspire you and make you feel like you can really visualize the best, healthiest outcome possible.

    Here are a few easy steps that I use to begin:

    • Find music that makes you feel empowered and full of inspiration.
    • Be outside, but in a private place where you won’t be disturbed.
    • Be moving, whether it is on a swing, walking, or biking
      • You want this energy to flow through you as well, showing Spirit that you are choosing to move forward with your thoughts and goals.
    • Daydream about your goals and see yourself doing the steps. If it’s for a goal such as losing weight, see yourself walking while listening to music, see yourself looking your best.
      • – Hold that image in your mind.
    • Make sure after your ‘music magic’ and visualization, actually begin to take more steps towards your goal.
    • Believe me, it will come at the right time.

    What Have I Manifested With This Exercise?

    Cars, three to be exact.

    My 1st concert with my favorite band of 10 years, close to the stage!

    My husband

    Trust me, it works!

    I still wrote poems and letters of all this manifesting too, find other ways to bring more power to this working. You can also try writing, singing, vision boards, and prayers.

    This may seem too simple but trust me it works. It will take some disciple to continue really believing it, knowing that you will receive it.

    I hope this helps you out with your goals! Please let me know in the comments below of your success with this Law of Attraction/Manifestation technique.

    Also, feel free to share any other ways you attract your own blessings into your life.

    Jam out and be full of excitement, your dreams are on the way.

  • Shadows in The Park – Ways to Protect Yourself From Darkness

    I have been going on night walks with my husband for a couple of weeks now.

    We like to take our fur-baby to the park whenever we have the chance.

    I find that our small town park is so full of magic. I was really shocked when we discovered shadow spirits around too. One night by the water, I even saw shadow man walk out.

    I didn’t think anything of it I thought that it was our shadow, then I noticed that the shadow was definitely too big. My husband noticed it as well.

    The next night, there was a shadow running on more than two legs next to our fur-baby. It disappeared out of nowhere. My husband and I were very amused. 

    I am bringing this up because it is always a good idea to always have a way to protect yourself against dark energies.

    I would suggest keeping holy water in your purse, just think of it as metaphysical pepper spray. You can just go to a local church and ask for some, or contact me and I can send you a vial that I make and bless myself.

    You can also put on blessed jewelry or even carry a crystal around for protection. It is important to know that light and dark are both needed to create harmony and natural order. I feel that dark energies shouldn’t be feared too much because it will use that fear as a way to invite itself in.

    Saying prayers and remaining faithful, no matter your religion is the most important. When in doubt, go with your gut feeling 1st. Trust in yourself, and giving yourself time to raise your vibrations will help most in the long run when it comes to protection. 

    You are always welcome to contact me as well. I do energetic cleansings, home blessings, and entity removal.

    Just let me know how I can be of service, and I’ll do my best to help.

  • My Healing Altar

    I started making an altar for myself over 3 years ago.

    For me, it’s like going to church every day.

    I find that it is the best to have candles, holy water and some sort of spiritual guide on it to start out. There are plenty of good resources available, and I’m always here to help if you have any questions.

    For me, an altar is a place to uncover the rawest parts of self and unlock hidden messages from God. It has given me a place to go to talk to God like he is on the phone.

    I feel lighting my candles, sage, and using a little of my holy water on my third-eye makes the world of difference after a stressful day. It is very healing to simply lower the electric lights of my room, and have the candles take me to a new place. A new layer of reality to ask God for miracle healing every day.

    This to me is like church, it takes me back to good moments. When the word is being read, songs sang, and prayers read aloud before the congregation. Feeling the same thing without words is blissful.

    I suggest creating your own altar and giving it a try. Not much is needed to begin your own healing journey with your altar. Just you, God, and the Spirit of Jesus Christ in a quiet space at home.

    Do you have a healing altar like mine? Let me know in the comments below.

  • My Journey With Life Coaching

    I have always liked the idea to help others in a way that a life coach does.

    I got my certification about a year ago by Reiki Reverend, and it was life-changing.

    At first, I didn’t think that I could benefit from this personally or professionally. However, shortly after I was certified, I started to help three incredible women who quickly changed my mind.

    I have seen them grow and take action a few weeks in with this. They inspired me to use my own coaching techniques when it comes to developing new habits and routine.

    I am doing daily journaling, walking, doing housework and daily affirmations with a whole new outlook. I have noticed the energy shift greatly for me to a much higher vibration.

    I start to feel my anxiety and depression kick in and then I stop myself and start to do a morning journal. It’s a gratitude list, made popular by teachers of the Law of Attraction. I can confidently say that working on this list has definitely helped.

    I hope that if you don’t go to me for coaching that you’ll check out Reiki Reverend, Antonio Dixon, for life coaching.

    He has a program called Reiki Plus which for me was a life-changing, spiritual transformation.

    Thanks for reading.

  • Endo Warrior and The Flight of The Raven

    Why Raven of Hope?

    Why that name? What does it mean?

    Well, first let me say that my business was originally called Insight With Reiki and Clairvoyance.

    This was because that was the main gifts I had having insight with Reiki and also clairvoyance. Then after time my business shifted gears, slowed down, and I took 3 years away to focus on me.

    I was going to college online, working a day job, and working my business. I had to stop working for a while due to pain, ER visits and 3 surgeries, as well as almost going under 4 more times.

    I had my gallbladder taken out because I had pancreatitis, a laparoscopy to find out if I had stage one endometriosis, and finally, I had a hernia fixed.

    I had other ER Visits due to a Bartholin’s gland cyst.

    This was painful and in the most sensitive female area.

    I was so scared, there was blood on my shoes and I was still acting like nothing was wrong. I was going to college, sometimes work, and then going to weddings and family evens with no words about it to some people.

    At the same time, I was still healing others and trying to heal self, I never took a day off.

    I felt after some time that I needed answers and a break. I felt so lost and lacking in energy where I needed it most.

    Then, I saw a clairvoyant vision of a raven, flying. Soon after I heard from God.

    He said, “Do not worry, there is hope. I will carry you.”

    BAM, that is why I named my business Raven of Hope.

    Because where there is hope, there is God!

    From the Raven, I saw hope.

    If you are fighting any battles of mind, body, spirit there is still hope. There are resources, love, and people out there that want better for you.

    I feel that God wants you to have answers. He is willing to give and hope he is always there to help. That is why I do what I do for restoring hope in all hearts.

    We all are enough in God’s eyes, and sometimes all we need is that confirmation and the healing that comes from knowing.

    That is where I come in 🙂

  • Alex Shaw & The Holy Spirit Road

    I have been friends with Alex Shaw over 10 years.

    I have learned so much from her on my path as a Holy Spirit Reader and Lightworker.

    She was the first holy spirit reading I ever received, and it changed my life. I never thought that I myself would become a reader., even though she told me on my first reading that I was psychic and a healer.

    I later found out that I definitely was. She predicted my husband and I getting married. Ten years later, she was the one who married us. I found that she really helped me embrace loving Jesus, candles, oils, and sage.

    Lots of sage. 🙂

    I would take her advice on what books to read, only ones that were in alignment with God and the bible. I also learned how the Psalm is a powerful tool.

    Then, she helped me lose 70 pounds with Hypnotherapy.

    I had an amazing experience with her. I would that anyone who needs or wants Holy Spirit Hypnosis, seek her out.

    Soon after our session, I would find out that I really liked and benefited from her Feng Shui service and House Blessings.

    I feel God blessed me with a connection that couldn’t get from any other person.

    Nobody else I’ve yet to meet resonates with me like Alex Shaw.

    I highly recommend her. She is my teacher, friend, and Holy Spirit Guide. She is also my miracle worker for Holy Spirit change.

    Please check her out, you will get great Holy Spirit guidance and service.

  • My Reiki Plus Experience

    I have subscribed to Reiki Plus twice now with Reiki Reverend. I have found both times it is uplifting in new aspects each month.

    I thought Reiki Plus, okay cool, I am a Reiki Master so this is not for me!

    WRONG!!!

    I found the 1st month I was gearing more towards shamanic practice. At first, I signed up for coaching and getting certified for shamanism and found that I really loved the experience. He was super helpful by using my ideas to help me expand off his ideas for my goals and progress. His personality was very nice and friendly, yet there was always a professional vibe the entire time.

    I noticed this again during the second month, even more, when I got certified as a life coach.

    I really wanted this, so he worked with me and really helped me see a new side of my business and self. I found that I had a renewed view on myself and why I am doing what I am doing.

    It goes beyond helping others. It is about connection and balance, not only teaching but learning. I found that Reiki Plus not only gave me a sacred space for learning, growing, and manifesting my dreams, but it was also a one-on-one support system that I can’t find elsewhere.

    I would suggest Reiki Plus whether or not you are just starting out your path, or you’ve been on it for years. It is for anyone needing a boost of self-love and investment for helping self to help others.

    Reiki Plus is a way to connect with like-minded people and be able to feel like you are with a soul family rather than rushing your business or spiritual journey to catch up with others.

    It is about building a new foundation that is filled with hope, love and healing.

    Here is a link to Reiki Reverend’s website where you can find out more for yourself. I would highly suggest contacting him personally if you are interested in this service.

  • Celtic Goddess Morrigan – The Lady of My Path

    There are so many things I could be writing about, but today I want to talk about my experiences with the Goddess Morrigan.

    She has been a strong force in my life over the last two years. I have found that when I am going through a shift of change and need to bring the focus back to myself, she is there.

    Morrigan has even made an appearance in my mother’s dreams as well. She has taught me what any kind of pain can do to my body, mind, and spirit. That only I can be the one to change that. I have found she is someone that won’t allow you to make excuse for yourself. She has shown me what being burnt out can really do to someone that ignores the intuitive hints to slow down or walk away.

    I have found she talks though others to hit you over the head along with, numbers, ravens stalking you and talking to you.

    She comes into your dreams to show you her tricks of shapeshifting.

    She is my everything when it comes to positive change and growth. I feel that while her lessons are hard with deep revelations, I also find that she will watch from a distance to make sure you are working through your goals as needed. I feel she is the silence within the dark that reminds you of the need to be present or something will be missed.

    Morrigan is such a great teacher and mentor for me in so many ways that it is hard to see where she is not in my life. Watching closely, waiting for me to stop and get off of the bs train. At the very same time, I feel she is also one that stands beside me and grants me the peace to break down and cry when I have held on too long.

    The lessons of strength that it takes to be vulnerable, to reach for help when you can’t go it alone also come from her. I cannot say enough good things about her presence in my life. I have been through some unique experiences thanks to her. It’s helped greatly with my spiritual advancement. From facing fears to seeing the true consequences of staying in the trapped victimized mindset.

    I really feel she will be my mentor and guide for my whole life.

    She will be showing me how I myself have shapeshifted for the people I want to please. How that got me nowhere but confused about who I am. Now, I go down the true path of what it means to truly see myself in order to bring real change to others.

    This is giving me the best perspective to work from, rather being an enabler of staler energies.

    May she bless you and help you really uncover what it means to be the King or Queen of your own life.

    May she show you what it really means when it comes to free will meets divine direction.

  • Soul Integration – Shamanic Healing with Reiki Revered

    I want to write today about my experiences Soul Integration Shamanic Healing with Antonio, Reiki Reverend.

    I never thought I would be able to see the process by video nor get any insights myself watching it. The first thing I noticed was that there were orbs floating around me. I then saw that it went clockwise in order to bring back past aspects of self to me.

    I then saw green, yellow, and red strings that bent and came to me in a star shape that wrapped itself around me. I felt a breeze that really woke me up. I see a spirit bear approach me, and then a peacock of vibrant colors.

    There was also a feeling and scene of Morrigan ( Celtic Goddess ) dressed in purple and turquoise smiling at me. Touching me and putting a tattoo on my arm of two straight lines going up on my right forearm. I noticed her helping me see that the root, throat, and charkas were coming back into alignment.

    I felt more at peace and more awake, full of energy like never before.

    I saw that I was not missing aspects of self from my past, but these were past aspects of myself from other situations. I felt them come back to me in the form of empowerment. I feel that it also helped cut out psychic debris.

    I never thought that this experience would have opened me up like it did, to who I am, who I was and how I needed both to come into alignment with self in order to become who I am meant to be in the future.

    If you feel low on energy, confused, lack of direction, guilt, or sadness then I feel it is worth the investment to get this shamanic healing from him.

    I have been to other healers before my path, but never like this!

    I would also suggest doing some shadow work, as it has helped me see why I needed this service. The serenity and knowing from the shadow work that I didn’t know everything. It helped me see just enough to know how to seek help when needed from other great healers. That it wouldn’t take away my true gifts.

    I feel we all need to come together as a whole, working as a team rather than against each other in order to awaken more people.

    To bring them peace, and a connection to the Divine.

    I would highly recommend Reiki Reverend’s services if you need education, certifications, or just need a new view on self and your spiritual path to help you feel free again.
