Sowing the Seeds of Love

Sowing the seeds of love

All of us are on a journey in life, we can choose whether or not we travel snail coach or express. Some paths we take may slow us down because the lesson we are to learn maybe a complex one where our minds can not grasp the lesson as quickly as others. Maybe this is because some are not as well equipped as others. What ever, it is our destiny to reach for the Light...

As young seedlings we love to spend as many hours outside, come rain or shine. Exploring nature, dancing, laughing, listening to the sounds of nature, eating, playing and expressing free will; learning about what we like and dislike, what creatures and plants sting...We are born Pure and naturally instinctive and intuitive...we are born knowing...we are care FREE...and Love those who love us back, unconditionally...Our world is full of light when we are mere seedlings...No matter who our parents are or where they derive from...

Now all depending on who our given family is we will either thrive and reach the light of the Sun and Moon quickly or we will struggle, shrivel up and turn in on our'selves', like a diseased plant that is not being nourished because its Mother/Father seed had picked up a dis'ease' somewhere along their growth path, and passed it on...This effects the ability to grow with strength and focus as our attention is turned towards healing our inner wounds...

As we pass Infancy and move on to the Junior stage of growth we are sent to the school of life where we have to mix with other breeds who maybe stable and strong or weak and vulnerable...It is here that we learn about survival of the fittest...

For those who are born from strong seed and nurtured correctly and loved, life seems so rosy, they can see the direct route to the light; yes they may wander and even mix with the weaklings, (hopefully sharing, caring and sowing their good seeds) but they will almost inevitably survive and reach maturity well before the weaker seeds...Life for them is not spent struggling to learn the difference between the light and the dark...They are well balanced and healthy in spirit...They can see the light clearly and know that is where they are headed...They flourish in the school and are not picked out as being different or weak...

For the weaker seedlings and the weeds life is not so simple...They struggle to grow in spirit and may fail to blossom to their fullest potential. Their spirit aches for better understanding, often they struggle with their identity and yearn to blossom in the school of life. Some may find it hard to mix, feeling isolated and are often labeled as disruptive, weak or ugly. Some may die very early, some become bullies-poisoning the others so they may feed off their light; others will continue in life's desperate struggle to reach for a patch of light and many will be targeted and plucked from the ground by the hands of those with no regard for their inner beauty and right to live a good life.

Weeds are just as beautiful as roses but in the school of life we are taught to WEED out those that are not as acceptable to live in our garden...The truth is that it is those that purport to be strong yet target others as weak that are really the weakest. They are blind to the inner beauty and wisdom and think that more room should be made for them to grow ...if only they would take time to get to know other breeds and understand that they too deserve a chance to express their inner beauty and given the chance to be heard...

Adolescence is a critical time in the seedlings life, it is when they need to be prepared for the outer world to which they will be blown with the wind of change. If the seeds that have been sown at home and in school have been good then the chances are that they will succeed and be happy, surrounded only by those who radiate light. They will grow towards maturity, only accepting the best because they have been lovingly fed what is needed to survive in this world.

If however their needs have not been met they may well struggle in the adult world, always searching for something to light up their lives...Some may become addicted to whatever fills their void, others bullies and others will be survivors, the strongest breed of all...Survivors are those that have lived in total darkness without the nourishment of the light of love shining down on them. However they were born with an inner light that keeps them alive and have an inner knowing that they will become stronger than any who have tried to stunt their growth.


Survivors are those that sit quietly in the dark waiting for the moment the winds of change arrive and when it does they fly off eagerly to pastures new and start a new life in the light...When their roots become strong, (after learning many lessons that were not taught to them as a seedling) and their foundations built upon solid ground they set out on their journey with the knowledge and understanding about the strong and the weak, the dark and the light...

Survivors set out on a mission to educate others about accepting differences, the need for nourishing the spirits of seedlings correctly,


no matter what breed of life they come from...And guide them all towards God's Given Life of Light, filled with love...


For the greatest seeds of all to sow that will help us all to live in Peace and Harmony, side by side in Gods Garden of Eden is the SEED OF LOVE...

Why not start planting the good seeds today and help others carry their spirit out of the dark and in to the Light...

The Tree of fertility


The Tree of fertility was painted as a blessing...

Now when I created this painting I was not aware of all the messages it held until I did the reading...

I would like to share that reading with you and am always up for discussion on what others perceive through it too...please feel free to share your views...


THE TREE OF FERTILITY

Sowing the Seeds of Love and Life

Dedicated to Paul and Zoe 2007

By Jacqui Grogan ~ Eden’s Spirit

I see spring is in the air, it smells so fresh, it’s a day when the sun shines so beautifully,
Its time for renewal, for bringing new life to all as it thaws your bodies so dutifully.
The sun is the giver of life, our universal father, the very core of our being and insight.
I see Archangel of the sun, Raphael watching over you, healing you with his love and light.
His pure golden spiral pours down from Father Sun to manifest life on earth with his beam.
He tells me you must harmonise and heal your spirit, in order to create your life’s dream.

Absorb his pure golden energy into your solar plexus where your will and powers reside,
Ignite the sun within you and harness its healing ability within your every cell; let none hide.

I sense from the atmosphere it is a magical day, I feel the air is full of love and happiness,
There is dew on the grass, droplets of luck; I see life for you looks all sparkly and fresh.
The dew is the elixir of life, the nurturer of the lush green grass; it looks after its needs,
so it can grow to exist healthily, mature and be at it’s best when it’s time to sow it‘s seeds.

The grass offers life many creature comforts, a place for all to enjoy the great benefit
Of Mother Natures wondrous gift of life as well as a place to live and play or else to sit…

Upon this grass sits a large pot that houses the tree of life, a tall and handsome fir tree,
A symbol of rebirth and endurance; also known in many cultures as the tree of fertility.
It is believed that the Tree holds many powers as it sow’s its seed on our precious earth
It is said that it’s the toy chest of souls, who wait for the right maiden to allot them rebirth.

I understand the pot is made from pure gold, I also see it is a vessel containing much honey.
Gold tells me a spiritual energy surrounds you, and it symbolises abundance and money.

Honey is used for healing and indicates sweetness, devotion, productivity and all good things;
The land of abundant fertility ~the Promised Land, bodily fluids and also God's blessings.
Now in the book of Solomon it poetically suggests, that the fertility figure of milk and honey
Is the paradise of a woman’s body, symbolic of the divine female figure and the new mummy.

Decorating the Honey pot is a beautiful heart that is coloured with magenta and blue,
It is the symbol of your very essence and denotes you are a very romantic couple too.
Magenta represents the female side of life, selfless love, emotional healing and babies,
Thus blue refers to the male counterpart, loyalty, heaven, trust and the ability to please.

Attached to the heart is the caduceus an ancient symbol of DNA, medicine, grounding, balance and healing,
The rod signifies the wisdom of earth and air, the human spine, and is carried by Raphael with much feeling.
It also is the concept of Kundalini, the yogic philosophy of ancient India, a known bio-energetic event,
Which refers to the mothering intelligence behind the awakening of the spirit whence maturity is sent.

Intertwined serpents tell of the balance of both solar and lunar energy, the God and Goddess of life.
It is very important to balance this male and female energy in order to be a happy husband and wife.
The colours of the serpents are orange and yellow, representing passion, energy and a warm feeling
Which, I am told is needed to start the fire within so that the journey towards your healing can begin.

The serpents of the Garden of Eden were said to create life forms in test tubes, many a year ago,
They symbolise rebirth, spiritual wisdom, healing and life and are a phallic symbol of man (you know).
The points where the snakes cross the rod signify the energy centres of your body, from base to third eye,
And in order to balance these chakras call on Raphael and Gabriel to help you; go on don’t be shy.

Attached to the staff are the wings of radiance belonging to Hermes the Messenger of the Gods.
They signify spiritual transcendence of time and temptation and bring healing against all the odds.

The wing that is coloured Lilac and Purple is that of Ariel, the Angel of Pluto, Earth and Air,
She says that you must learn to see with your heart and listen with your soul, to learn what is fair.
Her special gift to you is to send extraordinary healing so any ailments you have can be addressed,
This can be of particular benefit to you both, especially when you are down and feel stressed.

The wing that is blue belongs to Archangel Michael, who brings you protection and strength,
He says he’ll light your way to truth, wisdom and freedom and support you at any time and length.
He will bestow upon you gifts of patience and calmness, and will help you to face the truth of life,
Call on him to cut away the things you would like to be rid of, especially any trouble and strife.

Now the shape of the crown is symbolic of a pyramid, a symbol of Earth in its maternal aspect,
Associated with the Great Mother, who deserves to be shown loving kindness and respect.

Above the wings I see two fishes that symbolise fertility and knowledge because they spawn copiously
The fish never close their eyes, witnessing all that surrounds them and enabling them to roam and be free.
These fish I see are protecting and nurturing two eggs that have been produced by each parent
For they know that they need to look after them, because their precious gift of life is heaven sent.
The eggs themselves (which are spherical) represent the circle of life, oneness and the Angel of the moon,
Who says she is going to be there for you, she’ll be your guiding light and will be with you sometime soon.

Lighting up the life and spirits within this blessed Tree of Life is a bright and bold golden sun
Within it lays the Triquetra, the Celtic symbol for luck, the Father, Holy Ghost and the Son.
It also denotes mother’s natural world, the threefold nature of the Goddess as virgin, mother and crone
And also the magical forces of nature; Earth, Air and Water, life death and rebirth, for some.

The message the sun is sending as it sits on the top of the caduceus, I see and hear loud and clear,
I am hearing that healing of your mind, body and spirit must take place, you must let go of any fear;
For in order to achieve your higher dreams you must rid your mind and body of any undue stress,
Let go of any tension, for stress is the cause of all diseases in the mind and body, and so let it regress.

Ask Raphael to take your pains and sorrows to the heavens so that they be healed in the light of love
Ask him to purify your mind, body and spirit so it may be filled with the purest love and light from above.

When Raphael becomes part of your life, as he clearly has in this message received through the tree
It is a gift that most would cherish, to know that an Angel is so close and wants to look after thee.
He asks for you to call on him anytime soon, so quickly he can start healing your mind body and soul,
He really wants to help you, become part of your life and enable you to reach your highest goal.

With the power of the Paternal Sun God, Raphael and the Maternal Mother of the moon, I sense
That all good things are coming your way, and I see that the pleasure you will receive is immense.
For cradling the sun are four hearts, joined together and growing with peace, love and grace
And at the tip of the tree I can see a spiritual presence of healing, a beautiful horses face.

I believe this to be a message from Epona, the Celtic Goddess of fertility who protects horses and foals,
And she tells me that you must follow your dreams, heed the messages received so you may reach your goals.
For in this land of plenty where the air is filled with life, love and abundance and the ground with all things good
She says that you should tread this earth with the understanding of life, in order to reach motherhood…

It matters not where a child has come from, it only matters whose arms it has been placed in ,and I believe,
There is no better place for a child dear Lord than with two parents such as Zoe and Paul who are waiting to conceive…

Human Angels

After my last post I opened an email from my dear friend Ricky...

I met Ricky in a forum and our friendship blossomed so much so that
he has become part of my life...There is no hidden agenda, just pure
admiration and love of an innocent kind...

Ricky has been an inspiration to me on my journey over the past year.
You see I am able to open my heart to him as he does not judge, he looks
at the positive and finds something good and uplifting to say each time...

I wrote to Ricky earlier this week telling him of a dilemma that I found
hard to tell any other, and he replied with such warmth and love...He then
posted me a link to a beautiful, uplifting movie that made me re-think my
feelings and spurred me on to continue on my journey. It is you Ricky that
I will be thinking of while continuing my painting of Peace Within .

Thank you for being there for me in my hour of need and thank you dear
Lord for sending me a Human Angel...

For any of you who feel they have gone off the path and need to get back on it
I would like to share that inspirational movie with you...please click on the link
and you shall be able to view it...God bless you all... http://www.thewingsmovie.com/

Ricky also posted me this inspiring movie...I Love your kind wishes Ricky...you truly are my earth Angel... check this one out too...its amazing http://www.light-heartedness.com/

Peace Within

At the moment I am working on a painting called Peace within...

These are the questions I have found myself asking lately...
What does peace within mean? What is the definition of peace within? How do I find it?


Now during this time of creation (the past week) I have had three 'not so very nice ' bits of news concerning my family and friends. To top it all, one of my closest friends who I can talk to openly about my worries is moving away, so you see I feel as if I am not at peace within at the moment. And although I know that tomorrow is another day and today is just a passing moment, I can't seem to shake my sadness...maybe thats because I haven't really uttered how I am feeling (except to the higher spirit of course).

This has distracted me from painting and I am finding it quite difficult to get my creative juices flowing. I know I have to finish the work because it holds hidden messages for me to translate and take on board...

I have said a prayer for each of those concerning the bad news and am anxious to get on with my painting to see what messages it has to offer.

I think the painting may well be a meditation painting about peace on earth as it is something I pray for constantly...who knows...I shall just have to wait and see...

I also think there could be a message in it for me and you...the quest for peace within...

I hope when I look back on this I have received the message being sent loud and clear...

In fact just through writing this short journal has made me realise that I must get on and finish it...I shall post it when I am done...

The Awakening of My Spirit



MY awakening started many years ago. I first realised I was having a wake up call in the late 90's when my house was struck by lightening. At the time many weird things were happening in my life that I couldn't explain.

It was around this time that I started to realise that I had many powers that needed unleashing...I was teaching a group of adults at the time and even though I had not trained in several of the subjects that I was given to teach I seemed to know the answers to subjects that were out of the ordinary.

I started to write about things that I didn't realise was in me. Everyone I knew would come to me to find out the answers to questions they needed answering, mainly spiritual and self help one's... They would say "ask Jacqui, she'll know"...thanks for having faith in me guy's:-)

It was around this time that I painted a tree and called it the tree of life, I had never heard of it before so out of curiosity I researched it and it was all to do with the beginning of time, spirituality, the universal symbol of life...

I was more of a craft worker and DIY expert at the time, into colours and interiors as well as recycling. I hadn't done much painting since my teens, except for the odd painting and interior work and the style I was using (symbolism) was very new to me, I knew nothing about it as I hadn't had any training as an artist.

Then I painted a tree called the Awakening of the spirit which was full of vitality and life...Now I had never heard of this 'Awakening before' yet all of a sudden I found myself writing about it for a course on youth in the community that I was on at the time. Well when I read it back I was amazed that I had written such a thing...I didn't know where it was coming from.

I started to receive information left right and centre through the paintings I created and was especially drawn to painting trees...I feel that through these paintings my spirit has been awoken. I have been led down a great path of self discovery, an exciting path that has helped me to unleash my creative and intuitive side. A path that has enabled me to do things I never thought I was capable of and it gets better by the second:-)

I believe I will never stop learning about the spiritual side of life and am so glad to have experienced such a thing; I am especially overjoyed to have such a gift presented to me...a gift that enables me to receive information
from the higher realms about life, it's meaning and have the ability to help others

Before my awakening I felt empty as if I didn't know which way to turn now I know I have much work to do in the spiritual sense...Now I feel like my life has a meaning and I enjoy it so much more...

I now teach what I have learnt and love to teach others how to paint their true spirit so that they too can reawaken their true self and begin to live their true life being who they were intended to be before life's ups and downs took a hold on them.

Each day I feel I am becoming closer to living my dream, my faith in myself has been given such a boost by this awakening that I feel so much lighter in my spirit and fear, which I was gripped with before seems to have dis-appeared...and love has taken its place...I have a few more hurdles to overcome but trust that all will be won...For my spirit has been awakened...

A great lady on my forum posted an amazing write up About how to recognise if you are having or have had an Awakening by a lady called
Karin Hannigan and when I read it I was amazed at how much of it applied to me please take a look if you are interested it may suprise you...

The Dream Tree and The Crow


Messages from Beyond

The Wisdom of the Crow and The dream Tree

In the summer of 2006 a crow kept visiting me in my town garden...He would sit on the window ledge and knock on my studio window then fly into the garden and put on an amazing display...

He'd sit on the compost bin where a mirror perched above it, crow three times and open his wings fully caressing the compost bin while pecking the mirror three times, then he'd fly to the gate post crow again and fly off into the distance...

This magnificent display continued throughout the summer, if he couldn't find me in the studio he would come to my second floor office studio, he knew where to find me...and he wasn't shy of showing others his extraordinary behaviour...

At the time I was in the process of making my dreams become reality, I was trying to break free of the old me and leave the past behind, where it belongs and only taking with me the lessons I had learnt...I was also about to married in Gretna Green, a dream of mine...

I researched into the symbolic meaning of the crow and found that the Crow's Wisdom was sending me many answers to questions I had asked of late...

The Crow's Wisdom Includes
  • Guardian of the place before existence
  • Ability to move in space and time/shape shifting
  • Honouring ancestors
  • Carriers of souls from darkness into light
  • Working without fear in darkness
  • Guidance while working in shadow
  • moves freely in the void understands all things related to ethics
Then I read a quote from a Netsilik song

In the very earliest time, when both people and animals lived on earth, a person could become an animal if he wanted to and animal could become a human being.
Sometimes they were people and sometimes they were animals and there was no difference.
All spoke the same language.

Now I know I have the ability to comunicate with nature, I have always been connected to life...But I had never received such a strong message that was visable to all...

I began receiving newsletters to do with mirroring, the topic was popping up all around me...
I was amazed at the synchronosity and the way in which the spirit world communicates...

After Our Honey moon in August I arrived home to find the mirror had dropped, but not smashed and the Crow now visits with his pal....

I feel blessed to have been visited by such a wonder, a messenger from the higher realms...

During this time I painted the dream tree, which revealed to me that I was to reach my goals, some of which have already happened...oh how I am looking forward to reaching the pinnacle...

What/Who is Love


I painted I am Love in 2004; I was guided by a Spirit Guide called 'Lone wolf'...It was a time in my life when I was searching for what I thought was my missing in my life, my lost soul...only to find out that what I was looking for was within me all along...

We each go through life looking for love, or what we think is love. It is not until we open our hearts to the love we own inside of us that we realise that love was with us all along...and that beauty is all around us in every living entity...

It seemed that I had searched forever for someone to love me, always feeling as if something was missing...my soul mate. And then I found that the reason I could not find it in another was because I did not love myself as I ought to...

If there is one step I would urge others who feel as if something is missing from their lives to take, it would be to open your heart to loving your true 'self'...

I am glad I did because it not only stopped me from beating myself up all the time, it led me to
feeling truly happy and living the life I was born to live...In freedom, without judgement and enjoying every minute...

On top of the world

The Inner Flame of Faith and wisdom...

The Tree of Life is guarding the gates of Paradise whose symbolic inner eye beams its knowledge down to the Earth and all that exists upon it.

The Angel of wisdom keeps all beings, who do not know their True identity, from entering the gates. She says that they must first be connected to all life by the thread of consciousness and love.

The inner flame of the candle burns brightly and symbolizes the flame of Wisdom, Truth and knowledge. If our inner flame is not lit how can we experience the joys of Heaven, thus enabling us to live our life on Earth as the True Spirit we are born to be?...

We must rejoice life and embrace all…
