August Theme: Positive focus and creative solutions help to draw both prosperity and abundance this month.  You are a powerful creator and all that you need is within your grasp!

Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough. – Emily Dickinson

828:  The Pagan theme for the month of August is the first harvest. This started on the first with the festival of Lughnasadh and it applies to today’s number as well. It’s time to harvest some of the seed thoughts we planted a few months back to generate new areas of personal growth. If you have been tending and nurturing these “seeds” you will find that some are ready to harvest. However, some may not be quite ready and will require more time and care. Don’t worry we will have the month of September to apply finishing touches. Today the angels are reminding us to have faith in ourselves and in the abundance of the Universe. When we gratefully acknowledge our “Tiny Miracles” and do our part the Universe steps in and helps us out. Give yourself a BIG hug for all the wonderful things that you have accomplished so far this year!

Archangel Haniel showers us with stardust, illuminating our thoughts and memories so that we can remember what magickal beings we truly are, which assists us in the creation process. In turn, this shows us how to receive with grace and gratitude. This process accelerates when we allow beauty and harmony to surround us. It’ helps us to enjoy ourselves which makes blessings easier to receive. The Ascended Master Maitreya teaches us that laughter and joy are an essential part of self-care and creates the positive energy we need to propel us forward. It helps us to let go of stress and worry, which allows the light of faith and hope to shine through. The power of laughter clears and resets or energy field by releasing tension and emotions that have been held in check. This is an important lesson on our path, if it makes your heart sing then it’s the right direction.  And the Celtic Sun god Lugh, the patron of the first harvest, shares the fiery energy that inspires new growth and sheds light in our places of darkness. Lugh helps us to find creative solutions to problems and fills us with a sense of divine magick and protection.
