READER'S QUESTION OF THE MONTH
I'm starting to tap into the pagan/wiccan moons, rituals and seasons, but am really confused. They're all designed for northern hemisphere conditions (lambs, blossoms and eggs in April - Eostre, and chilly wintergreen and holly in December - Yule). So how am I supposed to celebrate the August 'Harvest Moon', for example, when the southern hemisphere is entering spring? - Klaudya
Let the moon guide you. The moon will always tell you the truth wherever you are.
Pedantically following the actual rituals themselves as laid out methodically by the gnostics is not important -- it is the act, intent and ritual in perfomring these rites under the moon which you consider special and which speak to your heart. Simply do what feels right for you in each season, whether that means combining northern and southrn elements and rituals, or making up new ones of your own. The idea is to have fun, play and worship throug nature in ways that come easily and magically to you and make you feel special.
When we get bogged down in the dogma of religions, that is when the complex problems start. It is fine to create a beautiful religion that feels right for you and live it according to your own rules and moods, day by day, as long as you hold the highest intent at all times.

What are some natural herb/tonics that you can take or apply topically to
make hair grow faster? I know you can use the moon's cycles when getting your
hair cut, but I want a quick fix and I want it now!!!!!! - Marguerite
Long, lustrous hair is a feature of the ancient goddesses -- an ancient sign of beauty, strength and wisdom. Yearning for long, thick, shiny, feminine hair now is a subtle metaphor for yearning to return to your authentic powerful goddess state. However this state exists inside your heart and cannot be arrived at through a physical means, such as growing longer hair.
In terms of keeping physically healthy, however, keratin is improtant for your hair and nails. Many of you are keratin deficient due to poor nutrition. Maintaining a healthy balance of organic vegetables and nutrients will see your eyes and skin glowing and your hair and nails growing long and shiny. It will also clean out your insides, which corresponds with the glow on your outside.

READER'S QUESTION OF THE MONTH
Eckhart Tolle talks about disassociating yourself with your ego, awakening your conscious mind and affectively bringing yourself into the now. Caring about how you look in the eyes of others obviously comes from a place of ego, and intensified as a result of social conditioning. Is it possible to reach a point where we are fully conscious, yet still care about our appearance without it coming from a place of ego? Perhaps more simply put, does self pride (relating to appearance) really come from a place of ego? And once fully conscious will I really stop caring about what colour lipstick I'm going to match to my new dress? - Mia
Fashion is for having fun with, dear ones. When you overburden yourselves with feelings of guilt connected to dressing, admiring yourself in the mirror, aplying lipstock or dressing and feeling wondergul and feminine as a woman, you are buying into guilty human beliefs about shallowness. In truth, anything which brings you colour, joy and pleasure in your life is okay. If you find you're spending too much time obsessing over narrow aspects of your appearance in an unhealthy way -- such as worrying about your big nose or turned in feet -- then the process does become self-absorbed. This is not a problem spiritually however, but more a lesson you must learn about believing the illusion of the trappings of the flesh. No one suffers from these beliefs but you, so cast them off with gay abandon. Don't be so harsh on yourself and judge yourself on your physical appearance -- for by what criteria are you making these judgements? When you are truly in a place of oneness that's devoid of ego, your concerns about your outward appearance will cease to matter. Until then, go easy on yourself and have fun dressing up and playing. It is god's gift to you here on earth.

I keep seeing the numbers 11 and 44 everywhere – on car numberplates, digital clocks, phone numbers. What does this mean? - Shannon
“Numerals are the angels’ way of communicating with you here on earth to let you know that you are following the right track. These double digits are indicators and signposts that pat you on the shoulder and validate that you are now following your heart and walking your true path. It is not practical for us to hear angels’ voices throughout our days and nights here on earth, but flashing numbers at us, or bringing various combinations of numerals to our attention, is a quick and effective way for the angels to ‘speak’ with us. 44 is related to your life’s purpose, and 11 is a golden master number which resonates with the individual essence of your soul.”

READER'S QUESTION OF THE MONTH
In my last reading with you, you described the house that S. and I will buy and live in. Last month we found the perfect house and bid at auction. It went way over the price and was really disheartening – I truly believed we would get this house! Do you think your description was of this house although we didn’t end up getting it? And do you think our house is far away? - Jane
“There will be many more such houses. This house was emblematic – a symbol of abundance in the universe. The river never runs dry. You were not ready for this house because S. was not yet ready for the responsibility and what it would entail. When you have a house it will hasten your marriage, and babies will come soon after, and S. is still holding this at arm’s length for the time being. There is still the perfect stone house with a nice green garden waiting for you and it will appear when the time is absolutely divinely right for both you and S. – but particularly for S. and your families. This may only be a handful of months away.
Your lesson in this has been to trust in outcomes. Do not be dismayed at first impressions, for there is always more to the story than you realise, and your tendency to paint events in a negative light may not be accurate. There is much more waiting for you around the corner, so trust in your heart and listen for signs that all is well and wait patiently for the divine outcome.”

READER'S QUESTION OF THE MONTH
When I was a teenager I was followed around by a creepy Freddy Kruger-style ghost for about 18 months. I kept waking to see him staring at me in my room or in doorways. The worst time was when he turned into smoke and flew down my throat and tried to suffocate me. What was that all about? - Tammy
“You invited him in… You were looking for an experience that gave you a heart-pounding excitement in what was a very tortured, intense, volatile teenage time, against the backdrop of torrid domestic conditions. Freddy was someone who sought you out, and thus made you feel special. All his attention was poured into you and for you only. You were the only person who saw or experienced him. It was an exclusive arrangement between the two of you which no one else could enter into. You needed to be watched. You needed someone or something to take a great amount of interest and care in your doings, comings and goings. You were working so hard during the day and giving so much of yourself emotionally to many others, and there was no one person who was giving their attention back to you or acknowledging you for your hard work.
Freddy served a purpose in this way. He was not a real human being, but he appeared as a solid 3D apparition of a man – a man who had nothing but all the time and interest in the world for you. A part or figment of your brain welcomed him gladly, for he was the one constant in a time of chaos and uncertainty and upset emotions. You needed him to appear in a frightening guise, for you needed to feel the adrenalin pumping through your heart and veins; the sense of being truly alive, like something was ‘really’ happening, and was real and true. If a sweet, soft, kind, loving lady angel had come and sat by your bed, you wouldn’t have paid as much attention or notice, and would not have received nearly the same effect. You were strong enough to handle his frightening demeanour.
You were subconsciously calling for the challenge, and you knew exactly how to handle him. He departed when you grew up a bit and no longer had reliance on him or your game. Boys and love interests were moving into your life, and once a real human boy began paying you emotional and romantic attention, you no longer needed the attention of your spiritual companion. [As for the smoke,] you invited him in at a time when circumstances were reaching a peak in your household. You was desperate for attention from your mother and needed to take the exercise to the next level.”

READER'S QUESTION OF THE MONTH
In a psychic reading I was once told that I have a ‘male’ higher self. Now I feel really confused. What does that mean? - Belle
“The universe is a large and complex soup! When a person conducts psychic readings they often confuse the client’s higher self with the most powerful life that they are currently leading somewhere in the universe. In Belle’s case, the psychic has glimpsed the most ‘at peace’ version of herself, which is a tall, wise man who lives elsewhere in the universe. He has come to a total sense of peace and understanding within himself – ‘completion’, if you like.
He is very close to her ‘higher’ or emancipated self, as he vibrates with a very quick white light. His soul is very light and clean and thus is almost transcending human state into soul state. However, a person’s higher self is a pure light, white or golden energy, which encompasses all that is good and quintessential about them and who they are. It is not a person, a human or a gender, but something more ethereal.
Do not worry your head with such grandiose concepts when it is important that your task now is to place one foot in front of the other here in your journey on earth. You have many important things to do here, so throw yourself into life heartily and enjoy making progress in your earth work. There will be more knowledge and information to come when you are ready for the next step. Blessings to you, dear one!”

READER'S QUESTION OF THE MONTH
I’m sort of seeing a boy – Ashley. Are there any possibilities for a relationship there? I've been holding my cards pretty close to my chest for various reasons… - Sarah
“Ashley is a very familiar soul to you. You have definitely known him before, hence why you ‘recognise’ him so intently this time around and he already feels like a well-understood friend. You have been right to have been guarded in your heart thus far, but know that you have nothing to fear from this man, for he offers you implicit trust and steadfastness in who he is. I’m picking up a subtle link or similarity to some of Ashley’s characteristics with those of your father. There are various aspects of his personality which resonate with the qualities of your father that you admire the most.
Ashley has arrived in your life at this time because he is instigating some soul-searching within you. He is the catalyst for important deep self-reflecting conversation and is inadvertently encouraging you to explore deep within yourself and touch on areas that you have been purposefully ignoring for some time. Ashley is here to play a certain role at this time in your life and to walk hand in hand with you through this phase… this part of your journey.
There is definitely residual past-life remembrances between the two of you, which can result now in strains of chemical attraction. However, for the most part it would do you much good to view Ashley as a solid friend and wise teacher who can guide you – through the questions he innocently asks – to the next phase of your own deeper learning.
Thanks to Ashley’s role in helping you uncover and deal with areas that have been lying dormant within you for some time, you will be better prepared to step up to the next level in your personal relationships and invite a whole new level of love into your life when you are ready. Your future relationships will not be like those of the past where you were younger and slightly naïve so that your heart was hurt. You will come to future relationships as a wiser adult, and thus will attract a whole new calibre of man and a new level of more mature experiences.”

READER'S QUESTION OF THE MONTH

I once had a life-like dream that I was holding my baby girl. It was SO real that when I woke up I was devastated, like a mother who had her baby taken away from her. Do you think this was a meeting with my future child? - Melissa
“Your future daughter definitely did penetrate the layers of time, energy and space to come through and shake hands with you in this life. It was an important binding of the contract you both have together, and her arrival in your dream state was a meeting or confirmation between the two of you as to what shall be. Your daughter is a very strong, wise old soul and she has her own important plans to put in place once she arrives here on earth. She has deliberately chosen you to be her mother, and the two of you will have a strong, long-running relationship here on earth together. She sends you her blessings and she is waiting for the divine time of arrival!”

READER'S QUESTION OF THE MONTH
Can you channel something on missing little Maddy? - Zoe
[Rebecca: Please note: Police have already examined hundreds of reports from psychics and clairvoyants claiming to know the location of Madeleine. Obviously this is a highly sensitive topic and all I can say about the words below is that I channelled them from a meditative brain state. However, it is my gut feeling that Maddy is in an isolated area of Morocco with some sort of 'family', and it is not her destiny to be found. I also don't believe she was taken from her bedroom, as speculated; I think she wandered outside near the pool area.]
"Madeleine has a beautiful angel energy about her. She is looking down on all of us with a very wise, all-knowing, loving smile. Madeleine's
higher self is a great and wise angel, a very clued-in, all-knowing
being, who very deliberately and purposefully chose to play this role
on earth from a higher perspective. These events have taken place to bring Madeleine's mother a very powerful lesson. Her father is merely playing a supporting role in helping his wife comprehend this momentous karmic event.
The child that Madeleine was has changed. She is still alive with the same body but the personality that inhabits that body has drastically altered. I see her with a greyness of pallor and sunken eyes with bags under them. She is drained of her life-force and is listless. She has no energy or enthusiasm. She does not play. She lives a sober existence. She is tense and alert. All her senses are watchful. She is wound tight like a spring. She sits almost unmoving, lifelessly, restricting all her movements in the belief that if she does not catch the attention of her captors, they will forget she is there and leave her alone.
She is on [was previously on?] the premises of three or four men who have many business dealings - I'm getting the word 'espionage'. They have a headquarters. They are quite 'oily', slick and well-groomed men, with almost Middle Eastern or Moroccan or Italian flavour about them, from down south of Spain or somewhere in southern Europe. Madeleine is part of a larger web that they have organised. These men are very clever and extremely well-connected with the top-level underworld. They may also have connections with corrupt police in Spain or Italy.
She was abducted by a man either beside a hotel pool or they walked past a hotel pool on their way out. He's holding her hand. Madeline was taken simply because the opportunity was there; she was not stalked beforehand. A man found a child in a moment alone and siezed the opportunity. He walked briskly off the hotel premises wearing sunglasses and blended in without question. He walked to a shiny sportscar parked on the street, lifted Madeline inside and took off.
He began formulating a plan in his head as he drove. Madeleine was crying. He ignored her. It happened to quickly, Madeleine was slightly confused as to what was going on. His persona was so businesslike, self-assured and professional, part of her felt that perhaps he was a friend of her parents and that this was a legitimate occurence. He was planning to use Madeleine because one of the men in his circle needed a child for a specific reason - something to do with a connection down south in Spain with a woman and a situation where a child was needed.
Madeleine's kidnapper is embroiled in many mafia-style connections, favours and IOUs, and Madeleine fell victim to part of this tangled web. She is alive but a shadow of her former self. She seems a lot older already. I do not feel that she is being phsyically harmed by her captors but she is a being denied a wholesome, light-filled childhood. I get the word 'catatonic' - she has partly closed down her personality through numbness. She has completely assumed another person's identity, down in the south-western corner of Spain.. Morocco.
Because these events occurred when she was so young, as she grows older, she may have blurry memories of her 'first' parents but she will forget all of the identifying details (such as her personal ID and that of her parents') that would enable her to testify in a court of law. She has been well and truly hidden in the system and is an invisible number in the masses of the popultion in an isolated region."
