My Celtic Goddess Journey Unveiled

A few days before I left the States for my goddess journey to Ireland, I had an important download from my ancestors. I was supposed to listen to a recorded call from my Year of Miracles program that dealt specifically with ancestral clearing and forgiveness. It was a call done by energy worker John Newton, and it was fantastic. He created a specific and powerful forgiveness prayer that encompasses every negative thought, emotion, word, or action and clears it from ourselves and our ancestors. That's my kind of clearing! As I listened to it, I knew that I was supposed to print it, bring it with me on my trip, and use it while I was in Ireland. And so I did. That little piece of paper was more powerful and energy-shifting than I could have possibly imagined.

My first stop in Ireland was at Glendalough in the Wicklow Mountains (above photo) and it was sunny! (It was actually sunny and warm for almost 2 weeks! The famous "heat wave" of Ireland). It is a well-preserved ancient Celtic Christianity site founded by St. Kevin in the 6th Century. It includes one of the best examples of the round tower (with a roof) built by the ancient monks, a church, graveyard, and other buildings from the monastic settlement.

I walked through the museum explaining the history of the settlement and was very saddened to hear that it had been burned, attacked, and pillaged numerous times throughout history, and many records were lost and monks were killed in the process. One of the most ferocious of the attacks came from the Vikings, which I found to be common everywhere I went throughout Ireland. As I read about the Viking attacks, it was like an illuminated light bulb went on over my head. I was getting direct revelation of how my goddess journey was to unfold, and I KNEW what I had to do.

I walked outside to the site, put my hands on the stones of the round tower and "asked" the stones to tell me their stories and show me images from their past. As expected, the energy that I felt and the images I saw were heavy and sad and wanted to be cleared. I pulled out my forgiveness prayer and read it aloud with the intention of clearing all negative feelings and energies resulting in the interactions between the Vikings and monks, and anything else that needed clearing. Amazing!! So THIS is what a Celtic goddess healing journey can look like! This was also the closest thing to 'time traveling' that I'd ever done, and it was thrilling!

After I read the prayer and did the clearing, I put my hands on the stones again and gave thanks to God and all high vibration beings who helped me in the healing. The energy I felt was so much lighter and beautiful, and the magical qualities of this ancient place of faith were able to shine through and overwhelm me to tears.

I sat on the grass and put my hands on the blessed land of Ireland and had an intense few minutes of connection and gratitude as I anticipated the powerful undertakings about to transpire. Ireland and I would be one, and I would be a key player in healing centuries of pain, death, and darkness that this country has suffered under. I was almost speechless. I'm just one individual from a far away place myself, but here I was back in the lands of my ancestry where time stands still, and I was providing this much needed and all-important healing work. I was humbled, excited, and totally blown away. WOW.

I knew that history has seen many others who have been called to Ireland to do similar things, and now I would be joining the ranks of all Celtic pilgrims, saints, and healers, who are all my heroes. But for me, it was also hitting a personal note, since I would be a part of the healing for my very own Irish ancestors. My friends, when you talk about following your bliss, making a difference, leaving a legacy, and becoming one with God, I just can't think of a better way to spend your days than doing what I was about to do! And just like the word featured in the photo above, this would be a powerful journey indeed.

Answering the Call

 

The above photo is me at Machu Picchu about a year ago. It was the first time I combined travel with a spiritual purpose, and I loved it! I went with a group of powerful women goddesses, participated in healing earth grid ceremonies with a Peruvian shaman, and felt the intense spiritual energy and power of this sacred place fill my veins. It was life-changing for many reasons. I was hooked.

Next year I will be doing a similar type of journey, but on a much, much bigger scale. But first a little background as to how this came about.

One reason I haven't written for 2 months is that it's been a very confusing, straining, stressful time of upheaval and growth. Helloooo, goddess path! One day I had a job, and the next day I didn't. Not because I was fired or quit, but because the FDA caused my friend's business (whom I work for) to shut down. It's a long story, but it was so unexpected (to both of us), I spent a few days in shock, a few days in deep depression, and a few days feeling intense anger. Then came the confusion and the question I can't stand most of all: "What am I going to do now?"

The great/difficult thing about losing your job, or experiencing any other major life change, whether planned or unplanned, is that you REALLY get to reevaluate what you truly want to be doing. I asked myself that question, and much to my chagrin, did not get an answer for a few weeks. I somewhat patiently waited for the enlightenment I wanted while making it the intention of my meditation. I actively looked for signs from God, angels, and the Universe daily, knowing they would have to reveal their secrets to me at some point.

I started realizing that I wasn't really asking "what job should I get?", and I wasn't even worried about getting a job because I knew that would work out perfectly. Throughout my entire life, I have been blessed with jobs so easily, it's almost laughable. My desires were deeper than just how I was going to earn a living. I needed to know how I was going to make a difference, how I was going to find meaning, and how I was going to be blissfully happy with this gift of life. Basically all the questions that started me on my goddess path to begin with. Aaaaand we have come back to the beginning.

One day I was sitting on my porch in the usual confusion about where I should put my energies, and a thought came to me: "What would you do if money and time were no issue, and all limitations were lifted? Think big. Think dreams. What would you do?" I thought about it, and what came was: "I would take a trip literally around the world combining humanitarian work, several spiritual pilgrimages, and connecting with Gaia and my brothers and sisters in all corners of the globe." BAM!! Thinking big enough?? I was sooo not expecting that answer!

At first I dismissed the idea as a 'real' possibility, because obviously that's crazy, right? Well one thing I've learned is to listen to the inspiration you receive, take it seriously, and sometimes the craziest ideas are the right ones.

But I needed a little proof. I asked for some confirmation that this was really the answer that I've been waiting for, and really what direction I should be taking. Long story short- I got it, and it knocked my socks off. Sooo....here goes nothing!

About the time that my "official" documentation of my goddess path is supposed to end (next May), I will embark on a 5 month worldwide humanitarian/spiritual journey!! Whoa! (This is of course unless God decides to change my life course once again. Flexibility is the name of the game). 

I will continue to work a little bit on my trusty laptop while I'm out adventuring, bringing in a little money, but for the most part, my life will take on entirely new smells, sights, sounds, experiences, and richness. I get to be completely immersed in the international, beautiful, magical tapestry of the world and her wonders. It will be an amazing energy exchange unlike anything I've ever known or could dream.

I haven't had much time to map out my course or do much planning at all other than get a rough estimate of costs and a general idea of countries I'd like to include on the journey. In order they are (so far): China, Japan (transit point), Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, India, Nepal, Tibet, Egypt, Israel, Romania, Turkey, Greece, Ireland, UK, Portugal, and Spain. That will probably change as I do more research. Some places I will stay in longer than others. I've already got plans to meet up with a couple people for 3-4 of the countries, so that's fantastic.

How does one prepare for a literal circumventing-of-the-world-adventure?? This is a HUGE undertaking that requires a lot of faith, trust, money, networking, miracles, patience, and flexibility. I also know it will be an experience of a lifetime never to be forgotten, that will present so many opportunities to stretch my goddess muscles, I should in fact come back a totally changed person. I don't really know what to expect, but I'm excited and nervous, and feeling like I'm preparing for the biggest, most intense, fun, crazy, breathtaking, and amazing roller coaster ride of my life.

Buckle up.
