Nova Scotia to allow First people to swear on eagle feathers rather than a Bible

The RCMP has officially introduced eagle feathers into the Nova Scotia justice system.

On Monday the force announced the feather is being added alongside affirmations and the Bible as an object to swear upon while giving a testimony under oath.

“To wear or to hold an eagle feather causes our creator to take immediate notice,” explained Donald Julien, a member of the Mi’kmaq community and former veteran for the Canadian Armed Forces and United Nations. He emphasised the important symbolism of the eagle feather to First Nations people. “[This is a] wonderful show of understanding and the acknowledgement of our traditional ways of expressing our prayer,” he said.

Card of the Day – Ace of Swords – Sunday, January 20, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Full Moon blessings, everyone! Whether your calendar says it is today or tomorrow, we are in Full Moon territory, and this is one for the books. It will be a Supermoon, meaning that the Moon will be very close to the Earth, but it will also be a Total Lunar Eclipse, occurring at 0° Leo. One would probably need to be living under a rock to not be aware of the Eclipse, but what they do not tell you on the nightly news is everything else that is happening. All this past week, there have been aspects pushing you toward change and resolution, and today and tomorrow would be no different. Let us stick with the most notable of these…today, Venus (love) will square Neptune (daydreams, illusion), and tomorrow, Mars (action, aggression) will square Saturn (restriction, lessons).

The Ace of Swords itself is a powerful card, and when wielding such…

Tara Greene www.taratarot.com's avatarTara Greene,Tarot,Astrology,Psychic

We’re getting very excited about the Leo Super Blood Wolf moon Total eclipse 

super Blood Wolf Leo Lunar Eclipse astrology Tara Greene super Blood Wolf Leo Lunar Eclipse

This Super Blood Wolf Moon is a totally Werewolf, Lion shape-shifting, Therianthropy event. 
The term comes from the Greek theríon [θηρίον], meaning “wild animal” or “beast” (implicitly mammalian); and anthrōpos [ἄνθρωπος], meaning “human being”. It was used to refer to animal transformation folklore of Europe as early as 1901. Sometimes the term “zoanthropy” is used instead.
Werewolves and Werelions out in full force. African legends describe people who turn into lions or leopards, while Asian werecats are typically depicted as becoming tigers.
In Northern China Turkic mythology, the wolf is a revered animal. The Turkic legends say the people were descendants of wolves. The legend of Asena is an old Turkic myth that tells of how the Turkic people were created. In the legend, a small Turkic village in northern China is raided…

Card of the Day – King of Wands – Thursday, January 17, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

When we last saw this card, I mentioned seeing males born under fire signs being prominent in the news. The same applies here today, but think of it only as an exercise. You will be amazed at how many you find. There are aspects occurring tomorrow, which can be felt today, to name a few… Venus trine Mars, Mercury conjunct Pluto, and the Sun square Uranus. The Moon will be in Gemini, enabling you to check some things off of your To-Do List and take care of a few errands which need your attention.

The King of Wands is a powerful figure, someone who is in charge, and, this should be you today, taking charge of your life, stepping up to the plate to enact your vision for change for the future. I feel that if you really apply yourself, you can be proud of your accomplishments today, even if…

Energy Update | January 16, 2019

As the old ways are dissolving, they also seem to be getting stronger. This is how Transformation works; there seems to be a last frantic breath that is taken by the old. So it may look, as you observe, that things are worse. Trust that this is simply a part of the process. Simplify your life as much as possible so that you aren’t distracted by too much busy-ness or by the goings-on in the old world. It is not worse; it is wonderful. As you observe, you may let go of judging whether things are good or bad or moving or stagnant.

There is a place where much is occurring, even when it feels all is so still in your life. It is the Great Void. Much happens here, for it is in the Void that all your highest potentialities are being energized. Being in the Void during meditation is a great experience of letting go and trusting. We are so used to planning and controlling that this can feel very strange. It can be described as a place of nothingness and yet, amazing things happen here. When you meditate and it is completely without visions, you most likely are in the Void. Having visions is great fun and it’s entertaining and yet it is not when big change occurs. So let go and allow yourself to just Be…no thoughts, no visions, no plan or purpose; no questions…just surrendering to the Void. Being in the Void also occurs outside of meditation. You most likely are in a state of “I don’t know” and/or “I have no idea about where or who I am or where I’m going.” This is the Void. Relax; surrender; trust.

Be in a state of Curiosity and Discovery, for all is New and the best thing to do is to just observe without needing to do something. We are in a very powerful and vulnerable place, and part of us may want to fill the “void” with something; anything. Yet, if we do that, we most likely will fill up with things of old, for the New is not all the way manifest in form yet. Do not worry about doing something or lining up your intentions just so; trust you are riding a wave of Grace. Trust you are being carried. You have done so much purifying that it is O.K. just to rest and allow; in fact, it’s imperative that you do.

If you pay attention to how you feel, you may notice that you just cannot do certain things. Why? The energies are not aligned with doing them. As you wait, the world won’t crash down around you and there will be a time when all is aligned to act. In the old, we pushed our way through something; we claimed, “I have to do this now!” In the New, there is no “have to;” there is a lot of waiting and observing. Let it be O.K. to be in this new space. There need not be a lot of rushing about; there is ease in everything. When it is time to act, you will feel it and then things flow effortlessly. This is for the tiniest chore to the biggest decision.

Daily Words of the Buddha for January 17, 2019

Pāli Word a Day for January 17, 2019 — dullabho — rare, difficult attainment

Yogā ve jāyatī bhūri,
ayogā bhūrisaṅkhayo.
Etaṃ dvedhāpathaṃ ñatvā bhavāya vibhavāya ca,
tathāttānaṃ niveseyya yathā bhūri pavaḍḍhati.

Wisdom springs from meditation;
without meditation wisdom wanes.
Having known these two paths of progress and decline,
let one so conduct oneself that one’s wisdom may increase.

Greetings and Happy Thursday. “Do Not Disturb the Water That is Tranquil.” When you find yourself not enjoying the peace and quiet of a supposed relaxing day, remind yourself not to interrupt your own peaceful thoughts. It’s not always easy but it sure makes for a refreshed soul when life starts back up again. Peace be with you.
