Keva and, her daughter, Phoenix –  April 2011, Cozumel, MX

Peace and Light Everybody,

I pray your Mother’s Day 2013 was filled with love, joy and laughter!  Mine was GREAT! Phoenix, my FANTASTIC daughter, created a wonderful handmade card for me and in that card she put 4 quarters!  WOW!  She gave mommy money for Mother’s Day! How cute and cool is that? :)

Mother’s Day 2013, was my 2nd Mother’s Day without my mom on the Earth plane,  and I would have to say, it was a good day! You see, my mother transitioned from the physical realm to the spiritual realm due to health complications in May 2011 (less than 4 weeks after the above picture was taken of me and Phoenix.  As a matter of fact, she was with us on that trip to Cozumel, MX).  Health complications I was unaware she even had caused her to transition.  Mind you, I talked to my mother EVERY DAY on the phone.  Sometimes for hours at a time and she kept her health issues a secret from me and my two sisters! Y’all, my mom talked a lot. A whole lot!  LOL! I never thought she could keep a secret, but I now know she could! LOL! But I digress.  Because her health issues where unknown to me, her death was a shock to me and all of my family! Mother’s Day 2012 I cried.  Mother’s Day 2013 I didn’t cry one tear, and this is why!

Thinking about my mother in her new spiritual home, the Realm of Pure Spirit, helped me to come to the conclusion that I didn’t need to cry for her.  My mother is in a place where she has no concern for the physical things that we have so much concern for in our daily lives.  She has no body aches, no nosy neighbors, no electric bills, no taxes or anything that!   Now, I’m not saying that these things make life terrible, but ladies and gentlemen, they are things I COULD live without! :) My mother is in an place filled with high level spiritual energy! There is no separation between she and the Great Spiritual Teachers of the world and her loved ones!  And of course, there is no separation between she and God!  WOW!  That’s the life!  LOL! SO…there is no reason for me to cry for her, she’s in a good place.  She is in a place where she is safe and loved.  So I chose not to cry for her and thanked God for this revelation!  If anything, my mom should be crying for me!  LOL! Seriously though, I hope you can see my point! :)

So Mother’s Day 2013 was wonderful! I was honored by a very special little girl, for doing something I love to do, I was born to do and that is to be her quirky, but loving mom!  I learned a very valuable lesson concerning my mother and her transitioning to a higher spiritual realm!  I would have to say all-in-all, Mother’s Day 2013 was a beautiful experience!

Travel Centers, Vegetarian Fast Food & Bad Attitudes!

By: Keva Larthridge-Mack

Recently, I took a road trip with a dear friend of mine.  During the trip we talked loud and laughed even louder!  We stopped at several travel centers and ate food that I am a little embarrassed to say we did, so I won’t!  I even got a little assertive with a fast food restaurant employee over a vegetarian menu item! Near the end of the trip, I was happy, but had a very short fuse!

When I got back home, I did a reading for myself.  I was inspired to use Magical Messages from the Fairies Oracle Deck by Doreen Virtue and the Angel Tarot by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine.  I pulled 3 Cards from the Angel Tarot and 1 one card from the Magical Messages from the Fairies Deck. Check out the picture of the cards I pulled below.

AReadingForKeva 032313

My Interpretation

Card 1- (8 of Air) – Past Position: Let me know that in the past, there was a need for me to pull  away from the pack (which could be family, friends, associates, etc) in order to fulfill my divine purpose.  This card inspired me to be guided by God and less interested in what people around me are saying.  It also let me know that it is my thinking that will be the key to my success.  I know that this card speaks of a mental “breaking away” because I have not physically moved away from the pack, but mentally, I have! This card speaks of a mind renewal that occurred in the past!

Card 2 – (6 of Earth-Inverted) - Present: Speaks of the Law of Attraction.  It reminded me that there is a Universal Law in place and all the good (and bad) that I have send out comes back to me.  This particular card came up to inspire me to be more loving and patient! Especially to fast food employees who sell vegetarian items!  The card is inverted, so this lesson is one I understand, but it is reminding me that I am not observing the law as I should.  This card serves as a gentle reminder to send out only what I want to get back!

Card 3 – (8 of Fire) – Future: Is is a card of forward movement.  This card lets me know that things are move forward quickly, and to be prepared.  It let me know that my connection to Spirit is strong and that if I remember the Law of Attraction and how it works, the forward motion will always be blessed!

Angel Numerology: All of the cards are minor arcana cards so no major life lessons here. No major challenges! GOOD! However these are lessons that will make my everyday life more enjoyable!  The card spread includes 2 cards with the number 8. (8 of Air & 8 of Fire)  According to Doreen Virtue’s Book Angel Numbers, the number 8 means Financial Abundance is coming to you now!  WOW!  This makes sense!  If I change my thinking and stay inspired by God, how could I not be anything be Financially Abundant?  Me either! :)

Card 5 – (Vegetarian): This card comes from the Magical Messages from the Fairies oracle deck.  After eating SO badly on this road trip, my Angels know that I needed to consume some veggies to help balance my energy levels and to clear out all the “junk” I had consumed on the trip.  After pulling this card, I immediately got up and made a green smoothie.  This smoothie contained a bosc pear, celery, kiwi, lemon and kale!  It was SO yummy and I can feel my energy levels returning to normal and I know that junk will be clearing out shortly!  Will be drinking water to aid in the cleansing process!

I am so thankful for these messages from the Realm of Pure Spirit and thank God, the Angels and my Spirit guides for their continued love, healing and support!

In Peace and Light!

Some People in Our World think Tarot Cards are Bad! What do YOU think?

Thinking_Lady

Peace and Light Y’all!

The name of this post, “Some people in our world think Tarot Cards are bad! What do you think?”  is a question I recently asked thousands of people around the World!  I was so blessed and enlightened by ALL the responses I received. Thank you for answering my question and thinking with me!  Thinking is a good thing!  That’s what I want you to do…THINK! Ask questions!  Challenge the status quo!  The revolutions of today and tomorrow, will take place inside the minds of men, women and children!  As Gil Scott-Heron said, “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised ”!  When I ask questions like this, it is not my goal to “pick a fight”, pass judgement,  prove a point or show you where you are wrong in your thinking!  I come from a long line of teachers, ministers, community leaders, etc and that is not the most effective way to  impact lifelong positive change! My goal for asking questions is to stimulate thought provoking discussions,  sharing,  acceptance, growth and love!  

Now with that said, I will address my question,”Some people in our world think Tarot Cards are bad! What do you think?”

No, I don’t believe Tarot Cards are bad. Tarot Cards are pieces of cardboard with pictures on them.  Nothing more, nothing less.   One of the most noted Tarot Card decks, Waite-Colman Smith (aka Rider-Waite), consist of 78 cards which include a pictorial representation of the Devil, Death, Judgement and more! Do those names sound familiar?!  Of course they do, they are words and concepts found in Christianity!  Some people believe that the Tarot was created by Mystical Christians, of course the concepts used in the Tarot are older, but some believe the actual cards, as we know them, where created by Mystical Christians!

I don’t know if Mystical Christians created the Tarot or not, but I do believe that Christian symbolism is present in the Tarot.  The pictures that represent the concepts of Death, the Devil and Judgement, specifically in the Waite-Colman Smith deck, contain Christian Symbolism and may illicit negative responses in the average person!  In the Spiritual World, like attracts like, so when a person sees a card they perceive as negative, they become sad or worried and they think of all the bad things that could happen! They attract negativity!  They see something “negative” in the cards and attract more negative thoughts or energy to themselves!  Remember:  Like attracts Like in the Spiritual Realm! This could account for so much of the negativity associated with the Tarot!   When a bad Tarot experience occurs, it  is more about the negative state of mind a person has BEFORE the Tarot reading or the negative state of mind the person finds themselves in after seeing these cards, than the cards themselves! The PERSON holds the power!

I  believe the power the cards have, is the power you give them! I believe the cards are a powerful tool to assist in clear communication with God and personal growth.  I believe by using Tarot cards and intuition (inner knowing), you can learn to  align your thoughts, feelings, environment and actions with the will of God and in turn create a life filled with Peace, Love & Joy!   I don’t believe the cards predict the future!  Let me say that again…I DO NOT BELIEVE TAROT CARDS CAN PREDICT THE FUTURE!  I do however, believe the cards help you to become more aware of your feelings, thoughts, desires and environment and can help you to make changes that will help you to create a better life! 

So no, I don’t believe Tarot Cards are bad!  :)

Thanks again for participating in my discussion!  I really appreciate the enlightening exchange of energy!

Thanks again for exploring this Funky Mystical World with me!

Peace, Light & LOVE to you!

The Walking Dead Season 3 Finale, a Sleepless Night & Archangel Michael!

Walking-Dead-3-Cast1

Peace and Light Y’all,

I don’t know if you know or not, but I LOVE the TV series, The Walking Dead! Now, this is almost unheard of for me because I am VERY sensitive to “scary stuff”.  As a child, after my dad took my sisters and me to see a scary movie at the drive-in, as he and my mom would often do during the Summer, I always ended up sleeping with my big sister because I was too afraid to sleep alone.  So when a friend told me that she liked The Walking Dead shortly after the series premiered and urged me to watch it, my first reaction was not only NO, but “HELLS, NO!” She convinced me to watch the show by saying that the characters and the story line were so interesting that the occasional zombie was no big deal!  Convinced to give the show a try,  I taped and watched a replay of the first show and have been watching the series ever since.

This season, Season 3, was filled with lots of excitement: the introduction and metamorphosis of the Governor,  the debut and development of Tyreese,  the deepening of love between Maggie and Glenn, the further fall, rise and fall of Merle Dixon, the acceptance of Michonne into Rick’s group, the death of Andrea and more!   WOW!  This show is like a soap opera with zombies, no big deal for me, “sensitive” Keva, RIGHT?! WRONG!

The night I watched the Season 3 finale, I could not go to sleep. As I lay in bed, I visualized Milton, the zombie, attempting to bite my toes off and me trying to put Andrea’s pliers through his skull!   I tossed and turned for hours fighting with “Zombie Milton” every time I closed my eyes!  ”Oh my God!” I thought,  ”This is almost as bad as when I was a kid!  My big grown self is afraid of a zombie! Really?” I didn’t dare roll over and tell my husband because  he would make fun of me! So I fought “Zombie Milton” in silence! As I lay there, scared out of my mind that this zombie was gonna bite me and turn me into a zombie, I tried to talk some sense into myself by saying, “OK Keva, you really need to go to sleep, you have things to do tomorrow! Girl, you know zombies are not real!”  My fear was irrational, but it was VERY real!  Right after I said that, in fear, I said, “What am I gonna do?!” At that moment, it occurred to me that I needed to call on Archangel Michael, to shield me from the fear that I was experiencing,  so I could get some rest.

So, I called on Archangel Micheal.  I said, “Archangel Michael, I am so scared that if I go to sleep, this zombie is gonna bite my toes and turn me into a zombie”.  By the way, I knew that this could NEVER happen in real life and that it sounded kinda silly, but the fear I was experiencing felt very real to me, so I told Archangel Michael exactly what I was feeling.   Archangel Micheal did not pause to pass judgement, he immediately offered me his help saying, “Visualize me cutting all the cords that connect you to these negative energies with my sword while at the same time, visualize with every pass of my sword, my covering you with beautiful protective white light, only allowing higher level energies to pass through my shield!”  I did and was able to fall asleep and get some rest!

When I look back at this experience, I am reminded that fear doesn’t  have to make sense and often times it does not, but it can feel very real and can be very paralyzing!  With knowledge, faith and action, it can be overcome! I do believe that I need to take a break from watching The Walking Dead and am glad that the 3rd season has now come to a close!

I am so thankful for my relationship with God and His Angels. The angels remind me daily that I am not alone and that they are always here to provide me with the support, love and guidance that I need to improve my life, without judgement   How beautiful is that?

I hope this blog entry was both entertaining and inspirational to you!

Couple

Airing on Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 11 AM & 5 PM CST

Peace & Light Y’all,

This is Keva Larthridge-Mack, the host of Funky Mystic Radio!  This week on Funky Mystic Radio, we will be broadcasting part 1 of a 2 part panel discussion I did to explore dating and marriage!

I was inspired to produce this show because so many women out there are looking for love and going to single women for help!  WHAT?  Really?  Well, that doesn’t make sense to me, so I grabbed a bunch of my happily married female friends and talked to them in order bring you a real life view of dating and romance!  These women are  interesting, funny and authentic! Their stories are anything but “normal”…deadly car crashes, disrespectful ex-girlfriends, punching, porn, feelings of hate and more are all apart of these romance stories!  Does this sound more like your life than a romance novel or movie? Yeah, I thought so!

So grab your best “gal pal” and listen to this show! You’re gonna have a blast and you’re gonna hear some strategies that you can use to help you to find the love of your life, no matter how weird or odd it may be!   

Be sure to listen to FUNKY MYSTIC RADIO this Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 11 AM & 5 PM Central Standard Time on the Amazing Women of Power Radio Network at www.AWOPTalk247.com!

FUNKY MYSTIC RADIO: Powerful talk for your MIND, BODY & SPIRIT!

A Spiritual Message About Insanity!

feet-on-scale

By: Keva Larthridge-Mack

Me: Running to the bathroom to weigh myself.

Spirit Guide: “Every morning you jump on that scale. What have you changed recently to make the scale move lower?”

Me: (Thinking) Wow, I hadn’t thought about that!

Spirit Guide: “You do realize that is the definition of insanity, don’t you?”

Me:  (Thinking) Wow! I’m gonna ask my hubby to hid that scale today and I’m just gonna stay active!

My Realization: This  experience has helped me to rethink other aspects of my life when change is concerned. If I want a different outcome in my life, I have to change the energy that I invest in creating what I desire   Doing the same thing every time will yield the same results and if I want different results I HAVE TO CHANGE WHAT I AM DOING!

I give thanks and praise to God, my angels and spirit guides for their love and guidance!

I hope you found this message as enlightening as I did!

The Grocery Store Snoop!

By Keva Larthridge-Mack

Recently, I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things.  As the cashier checked out my groceries, she “checked out my groceries”!  Before I knew it, a conversation began to unfold!  It went a little something like this: 

nosy-neighbours

Cashier:  “You like organic stuff, huh?”

Funky Mystic:  ”Yeah..”

Cashier: “Does it taste better?”

Funky Mystic:  “I think so!”

Cashier:  “A lot of the younger generation is into organic. I bet you don’t eat pork either do you?”

Funky Mystic: “No, I stopped eating pork almost 17 years ago.”

Cashier: [An insightful look comes over her face]

Cashier:  ”Do you feel better?

Funky Mystic: “Yes, I sure do!…”

 

This short, but memorable conversation illustrated this to me: 

People want to feel better!  

PLEASE NOTE: This woman did not ask me if I’d lost weight by eating organic food, she asked me if eating organic foods made me FEEL BETTER!

I am convinced that people want to feel better more than they want to look better! I am also convinced that the “powers that be” have programmed the general public to have an obsession with weight loss because they know that the food that the average person is eating is not “real food” and that it will cause obesity, depression and dis-ease!  They also know that their ads are designed to put the proverbial “cherry on top” and seal the deal! It is my opinion that weight loss ads are designed to cause self-loathing and negate will power or should I say hand over your power to something or someone else! After they have you where they want you, they swoosh in like a superhero to offer you this “magic pill” or a “magic gadget” that will help you to look and feel better!  Heck, this purchase will change your entire life!  It will give you more confidence, help you to get the guy or girl of your dreams and it will also help you to get a red sports car!  Haven’t you seen the commercials?!  After buying into the “Weight Loss Matrix” you ultimately discover that the “magic pill” or “magic gadget” is not very magical at all and that it is not helping you to create the outcome you wanted, so you begin to seek out another way to feel better, after spending your hard earned $19.95-$99.95, and the cycle starts all over again!  I know the cycle, because I participated in the game too, until I got hip to it!

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT equate your wellness with weight-loss!  They are NOT the same thing!  I have seen women obsess their entire adult lives over loosing weight, die and still be overweight! That is no way to live! Get out of the “Weight Loss Matrix” and create wellness by living a lifestyle that creates mental, physical and spiritual harmony!  This lifestyle will help you to create holistic wellness! Which is WAY more valuable than sheer weight-loss!

If you want to start feeling better TODAY!  These are 3 things I would suggest you start doing TODAY!  

1) Turn off the TV! Get off the Sofa and ENJOY life! Take a walk, go play basketball or play tag with your kids or your nieces and nephews! It will do you body and your heart good and it will help to create beautiful memories everyone involved can cherish!

2) Start relaxing more!  Get a massage, take a long bath with essential oils, participate in a yoga class, get a Reiki Treatment or enroll in a meditation class!  These things will help you to break through the “Weight-Loss Matrix” and release the programming you have been subject to!  They will help you to release the feelings of self-doubt, depression and frustration that may be causing you to eat things you shouldn’t!  Do this often! Once you begin to disengage from the sophisticated “weight loss matrix” programming  you will begin to feel better about yourself!  You will also begin to understand why it is so important for you to care for yourself!

3) EAT BETTER!  If you want to feel better and look better, you have got to EAT BETTER!  Let you food be your medicine!  That means releasing processed foods and fast foods from your diet and eating more WHOLE FOODS! Organic WHOLE FOODS when you can! Eat food in its most natural state! Foods that come from the ground, trees or bushes!  When was the last time you saw a potato chip tree with potato chips ripe for the picking?!  Never, that’s what I thought!  You understand what I’m saying, right?!   Have you ever thought about not only the foreign substances that may be in our foods, but also the energy that may be attached to the food we eat?

Here’s what I mean.  When you eat out, it’s important to consider the state of mind the person who is preparing your food was in!  Believe it or not, the energy they are feeling, will be placed in your food and it has an impact on you! Is the person who prepares your food happy, sad, angry, ready to get off work or worried?  Well, I believe whatever energy they are holding in their awareness, is the energy they put into your food and it does have an impact on you!  So when you order that burger with cheese, cheese is not the only thing that cook is adding!  That is why I believe it is SO important to pray over your food in order to elevate the energetic frequency of your food.  Our food goes through different hands and passes through different places before it ends up on our plates! Praying over your food and asking God to remove all the lower level energies from it can help to promote holistic wellness!

Hey, why don’t you consider skipping the dinner out all together and eat in!  As you prepare your food, consider asking God to remove any lower level energies that may have been attached to your food in its journey to your kitchen!  Heck, sing while you cook!  My grandmother use to sing while she cooked and we loved eating her food!  Why don’t you give singing while you cook a try?!  Try making meal preparation a spiritual event, because whether you realize it our not, it is!

I hope the Grocery Store Snoop made you think as much as she made me think and that something I have said will help you to create a life filled with wellness!

Offered in Peace and Light,
