Welcome June
It´s Gemini Season and the month of Summer Solstice and 21.6. is my birthday – I know, blessed sun child I am, creating from heart to encourage you to shine from yours!).
We are looking at two major arcana Tarot cards associated with the zodiac sign of the twins and the longest day of the year and start of summer – and how we can infuse our Cacao practice with their insights!
6. THE LOVERS:
At every moment you have a choice. Love is at the heart of life. All Creation is born out of Love (the unconditional kind).
Love • Fulfilment • Union • Choice • Surrender
Love requires surrender and surrender requires choice.
The process of union, liberation and ecstasy. At every moment in your waking life you have choices: some simple, some profound. Through engaging these dilemmas, you develop maturity and depth of soul.
This card brings two forces together, making them whole. Creating a deeper understanding of life, love, and the divine.
19. THE SUN:
You are free to express the radiant essence of your being. Joy and creation flow from you like the rays of the sun.
A creative and joyful phase!
Projects that have been developing may now come to fruition, and you will have the clarity and the focus to make success of them. Full creative potential being realised in the world.
Ritual
Liberate yourself from everyday worries and constraints, you have the freedom to be yourself and to pay attention to the abundance in your life!
Prepare a cup of Cacao in honour of the Sun that shines her light upon this earth, helps grow our trees and fill us with hope and warmth. Raise your cup in gratitude to what you have already accomplished in your life and what it is you are creating.
Ask the Spirit of Cacao to grant you with insights on how to unlock your biggest potential to experience the longest day within – and infuse your life or work projects with an extra portion of joy, light and dedication! No matter what you are currently creating, it deserves your energy and you have the power to choose what form this energy takes: are you filling your days with awe and wonder? Or stress and frustration? Take an eagle eye´s view and observe from above the bigger picture: why are you doing what you are doing? As an example: if you are in a boring job to make money instead of following your heart´s desires then you have a reason to be grateful to have that job and security. And instead of thinking about the lack in your life or how it could be more exciting, bring that excitement into your work!
Show your friends and family your support, create out of service and realise that you already have everything you need within you to make this the time of your life!
How can you find joy in this moment without reminiscing about the past or worrying / planning the future?
Ceridwen´s Cauldron
Before we are reborn, we have to allow the shedding to take place and change to happen in order to be transformed.
The story of welsh sorceress Ceridwen is such a tale of rebirth which can help us gain deeper insights into our psyche and subconscious and allows us to face the parts of ourselves that we usually run away from but that actually served us in becoming who we are today. And for some of these parts it is time to go, they served their duty and like leaves falling from a tree, they are now allowed to be released in order to become the nourishing soil for our new seeds to grow.
Join the live ceremony to listen to the full story of Ceridwen and go on an inner journey to meet her - the recording will be made available to you on this platform.

INSPIRATION, CREATIVITY, TRANSFORMATION, REBIRTH
“Surrender yourself to the flow of life and allow your inner light to shine and connect with your divine spark as your destiny unfolds.”
Take a creative direction and transform yourself and your world into something or someone new. Be confident. Express your talent. Let your light shine.
There is no greater champion of transformation than Ceridwen. She spent time perfecting her brew in the cauldron that gives the gifts of knowledge, wisdom and inspiration to those who seek it. It was known by the ancient Celts as awen. Sometimes we are given gifts from our psyche unexpectedly, as was the servant boy, Gwion, when he licked the three drops from the cauldron of Ceridwen. When it comes to us by chance we must be ready to accept it and the only way we can do this is to transform; to be reborn into someone new so that we can truly live out these gifts.
Ceridwen gives you the courage to follow through with the deal you’ve made with yourself.
Do you run away from something that’s calling you from deep within? Do you stay in a job, a relationship or any situation that is not serving you and is not your greatest calling?
When Gwion the servant boy ran, the goddess Ceridwen followed: when he changed shape, so did she, until he turned into a grain and as the hen, she ate him up. Creativity, wisdom, inspiration and simply a new way of being and living will find you no matter how much you try to disguise yourself. Now is the time for your transformation.

Ceremony
The Strawberry Full Moon of June 2022 is a time for celebration and rebirth.
In this cacao ceremony I will tell the transformative story of Cerridwen´s Cauldron and guide you on an inner journey to meet this powerful Celtic goddess and prepare for your personal rebirth.
Journey with Cacao, welsh sorceress Ceridwen and myself into the mysteries of the cauldron, and transform in the cave of creation.
We turn our backs towards the past, make peace with what was to embrace the path that lies ahead – even if we can´t see it clearly yet.
Are you ready to shapeshift into who you are becoming?
