Newsletter August 2014

This newsletter is a tribute to Angie who passed over on Wednesday 30th July, she was a very big part of my life for the last 20 plus years.

Her family have asked that we take one flower only if we are attenting the Celebration of her Life next Friday 8th July.

However I am unable to get something out of my head. The last time that I took along one flower to our development evening, many moons ago, Angie had us all doing flower readings. Something that I may find hard to resist. I remember the laughter when one of us pulled out a battered flower which he had shoved in his pocket so he wasn't seen carrying it.

It was often like that with Angie as she laughed and smiled such a lot.

Many Blessings Liz

   Do not stand at my grave

                    and cry.

               I am not here

                 I did not Die

We had this engraved on

my daughter's headstone

Tribute to Angie Smith

Angie Smith whose business was Azure Dawn Aura Camera, passed on very peacefully, surrounded by all her much beloved family yesterday afternoon around 1pm, Wednesday 30th July 2014.

Angie's Celebration of Life will be next Friday , 8^th August at 3pm Weston-super-Mare Crematorium for those wishing to attend. After venue to be confirmed. Please wear something bright and bring a single flower only.

I met Angie over 20 years ago, she is my mentor and friend. Over the years she has prodded me very hard when I needed it spiritually. We continued to work weekly and sometimes daily, privately channelling healing to those sorely in need.

Paul Atkins will continue with the aura camera. Angie trained us both and Paul has worked with her even longer than me, he has also been prodded very hard at times by Angie.

Angie is a very highly evolved child of the Universe who blessed many of us over her lifetime, her job now done she returns home. No more pain now for her. It is so hard to watch when someone you love is in severe pain. If it was possible to take it away entirely I would have done so, but Angie and I did what we could.

Only now that she has passed on can I look back at all that she has given me. Over the last twenty years of my life she has been my 'spiritual' rock, helping me through so many situations. Listening to and advising me on matters of the Universe. As she did so she was very 'straight' with me which I appreciate immensely.

Bless you Angie for all that you have done, see you later. Liz xx

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting holy shit....what a ride.

"more like me lol" Angie Smith (One of her last posts on Facebook)

The stunning picture above is the one that Angie used as her Cover picture on Facebook which she changed to just days before she passed on. Angie always lit a candle for those who had just passed on. Note the candles in the picture. She was also able to sit cross legged and proud to be able to do so.

Made on the Full Moon

This is one of the five Metaphysical Healing Amulets that I started by cutting in Sterling Silver on the last Full Moon. Each one is made especially for the recipient and I am guided as to what design is required for each person, although these seem to be mainly geometric thus far. The next full moon is on the 10th of August so if you are interested please email me. The price will be �25 to �33 postage included in the United Kingdom. When I have photographed them lots of orbs have shown up as well.

The Giraffe

The Qilin is a major mythical creature in Chinese mythology that spread throughout Asia and is still commonly referred to today. The Qilin was a hoofed and horned creature, peaceful in demeanour and appearing only in lands ruled by a wise person. When the explorer Zheng He visited East Africa in 1421, he brought two giraffes back to China that were immediately associated with the Qilin, though the Qilin was often described as having short legs and neck. Despite the differences, the giraffe was proclaimed a magical creature and given the name "Qilin." The powers of the Qilin were transferred to the giraffe in Chinese mythology for a long while. To this day, the giraffe is referred to as "kirin" in Japan and Korea.

In many cultures of the past, the giraffe was thought to be a hybrid animal due to the strangeness of its features. The ancient Arabic world had quite a few opinions on the origin of the giraffe. Some ancient scholars said it was a result of the mating of a camel and a panther, some that it came from a camel, a hyena and a cow, and some saying that stallions produced a giraffe. The giraffe's scientific name is giraffa camelopardalis, and camelopard -- or half-camel, half-leopard -- was a common way to refer to the giraffe as long ago as the Roman Empire. Many scholars in the past did, however, believe that the giraffe was the separate species we know it to be today.

Moonstone

Angie's favourite pendant was a moonstone one which she is wearing in her photograph.

Moonstone has been used in jewellery for centuries, including ancient civilizations. The Romans admired moonstone, as they believed it was born from solidified rays of the moon. Both the Romans and Greeks associated Moonstone with their lunar deities. In more recent history, the moonstone became popular during the Art Nouveau period; French goldsmith Ren� Lalique and many others created a large quantity of jewelry using this stone.

Moonstone is composed of two feldspar species, orthoclase and albite. The two species are intermingled. Then, as the newly formed mineral cools, the intergrowth of orthoclase and albite separates into stacked, alternating layers. When light falls between these thin, flat layers, it scatters in many directions producing the phenomenon called adularescence.

Birds - Life, Death, and the Soul

Many myths have linked birds to the arrival of life or death. With their power of flight, these winged creatures were seen as carriers or symbols of the human soul, or as the soul itself, flying heavenward after a person died. A bird may represent both the soul of the dead and a deity at the same time.

Bringers of Life and Death.

Some cultures have associated birds with birth, claiming that a person's soul arrived on earth in bird form. A remnant of this ancient belief has survived into modern times: one traditional answer to a child's question "Where do babies come from?" is "The stork brings them."

Birds have also been linked with death. Carrion-eating birds such as vultures, crows, and ravens, for example, were connected with disaster and war. Celtic* and Irish war goddesses often appeared in the form of crows and ravens-perhaps because crows and ravens were known to gather over battlefields and to feast on the flesh of fallen warriors. It was said that if one of these goddesses appeared before an army going into battle, the army would be defeated.

The mythological bird called the phoenix combined images of birth and death to become a powerful symbol of eternal rebirth. According to Egyptian legend, the phoenix burned up every 500 years but was then miraculously reborn out of its own ashes, so it was truly immortal. In myths from China and Japan, the phoenix does not emerge from a fire but instead causes itself to be reborn during times of good fortune

The Flight of the Soul

Numerous myths have linked birds to the journeys undertaken by human souls after death. Sometimes a bird acts as a guide in the afterlife. In Syria, figures of eagles on tombs represent the guides that lead souls to heaven. The soul guide in Jewish tradition is a dove.

In some cultures, it was thought that the soul, once freed from the body, took the form of a bird. The ancient Egyptians believed that the soul, the ba, could leave the dead body in the form of a bird, often a hawk. They built their graves and tombs with narrow shafts leading to the open air so that these birds could fly in and out, keeping watch on the body. The feather cloaks that Central American and Mexican priests and kings wore may have been connected to the idea of a soul journey.

This is where I will be with My Metaphysical Healing Amulets, symbolic Tibetan Silver jewellery and fused glass.

Marjoram, Wild

Botanical: Origanum vulgare (LINN.) Family: N.O. Labiatae

The name Origanum is derived from two Greek words, oros (mountain) and ganos (joy), in allusion to the gay appearance these plants give to the hillsides on which they grow.

Marjoram has a very ancient medical reputation. The Greeks used it extensively, both internally and externally for fomentations. It was a remedy for narcotic poisons, convulsions and dropsy. Among the Greeks, if Marjoram grew on a grave, it augured the happiness of the departed, and among both the Greeks and Romans, it was the custom to crown young couples with Marjoram.

Marjoram yields about 2 per cent of a volatile oil which is separated by distillation. This must not be confused with oil of Origanum, which is extracted from Thyme. Its properties are stimulant, carminative, diaphoretic and mildly tonic; a useful emmenagogue. It is so acrid that it has been employed not only as a rubefacient, and often as a liniment, but has also been used as a caustic by farriers. A few drops, put on cotton-wool and placed in the hollow of an aching tooth frequently relieves the pain.

Externally, the dried leaves and tops may be applied in bags as a hot fomentation to painful swellings and rheumatism, as well as for colic. An infusion made from the fresh plant will relieve nervous headache, by virtue of the camphoraceous principle contained in the oil.

Death is nothing at all

Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still

Call me by my own familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity

What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner

All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Canon Henry Scott-Holland, Canon of St Paul's Cathedral (1847 - 1918)
