The Wait Is Almost Over

I am rather excited to announce that this week I have been advised by my publisher that early release copies of On Her Silver Rays: A Guide to the Moon, Myth and Magic can be ordered.  This is very exciting considering the official release date is not until the end of June 2023.

So, naturally, I could not help but take advantage of this and place an order.

While it will still be a number of weeks before the first copies come off the printing press and arrive at my door, I thought I would make the announcement that if you are interested in purchasing one of these early release copies, then I am offering signed copies at a special price of $37.50 (including postage within Australia).

Click here to order your signed copy.

Unfortunately, this offer is only available within Australia at this stage, however, if you live outside of Australia and would like a copy, you can pre-order through one of a number of outlets listed on Moon Books‘ web page.

Alternatively, if you want a signed copy, contact me and I will work out postage once the books arrive.

January Happenings and More

A new year has arrived and as such, I would first like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has supported my various endeavours throughout 2022 - whether it has been by purchasing one of my books, something from my LunaNoire Creations Etsy store, stopping by to say hello at one of the many markets that I was at, participating in an event or workshop that I had presented or hosted, undertaken a healing or had a reading with me at the Isian Centre of Metaphysics, or even subscribing to my YouTube channel.  Even if you have read my blog, a hear felt THANK YOU.

Due to personal commitments, when it comes to offerings, with only the Journey into Freedom with Kali email-based sadhana (spiritual journey) scheduled to be taking place this month (commencing on Sunday, 8 January 2023 so there is still time to register if you are interested - more information about this 21-day journey with this Dark Goddess found within the Hindu pantheon can be found here.  

One thing that I have been setting up is a semi-regular newsletter that will contain information about upcoming events, presentations, appearances, and the like, as well as other insights that I find of interest that relate to magical, mystical and metaphysical matters.  If you read this blog, then you can subscribe to my newsletter here.

I have also been busy making a number of courses available online.  The platform I am using is Udemy which provides students with unlimited access and where they can study at their own pace.  

The courses that I currently have available are:

Exploring the Dark Goddess consists of some three and a half hours of video content

Dancing with the Hindu Goddess Kali Ma consists of five hours of video content

Celtic Goddesses and Warrior Queens consists of some four and a half hours of video content.

Udemy offers an assortment of courses, however as some are better than others, it is recommended that a level of discernment be used when choosing.  

WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS

As mentioned earlier, the first event for 2023 will be the 21-day Journey into Freedom with Kali sadhana (spiritual journey) that will commence on Sunday, 8 January 2023.  

Every day for the following 21 days, you will receive emails that will assist you in exploring this rather complex Dark Goddess of the Hindu pantheon.  You are invited to study at your own pace as you will receive devotional practices that will enable you to connect with this powerful goddess on a deep soul level in order to bring about ultimate change.

Further information as to how you can register for Journey into Freedom with Kali can be found here. 

Make the Decision to say Yes to the Cosmos

By acknowledging the existence of what’s not working for us,

we can begin the process of change.

The hardest thing about saying "yes" to the cosmos is that it means accepting everything life puts in front of us. Most of us have a habit of going through our days saying "no" to the things we do not like and yes to the things we do, and yet, everything we encounter is our life. 

We may be afraid that if we say "yes" to the things we do not like, we will be stuck with them forever, but really, it is only through acknowledging the existence of what is not working for us that we can begin the process of change. So saying "yes" does not mean indiscriminately accepting things that do not work for us. It means conversing with the cosmos, and starting the conversation with a very powerful word — yes.

When we say "yes" to the cosmos, we enter into a state of trust that whatever our situation is, we can work with it. We express confidence in ourselves, and the cosmos, and we also express a willingness to learn from whatever comes our way, rather than running and hiding when we do not like what we see. 

The question we might ask ourselves is what it will take for us to get to the point of saying "yes". For some of us, it takes coming up against something we cannot ignore, escape, or deny, and so we are left no choice but to say "yes". For others, it just seems a natural progression of events that leads us to making the decision to say "yes" to life.

The first step to saying "yes" is realizing that in the end it is so much easier than the alternative. Once we understand this, we can begin examining the moments when we resist what is happening, and experiment with occasionally saying "yes" instead. It might be scary at first, and even painful at times, but if we continue to say "yes" to every moment through the process, we will discover the joy of being in a positive conversation with a force much bigger than ourselves.

Blessings, Frances
