“Wheel of Fortune”
This card is about cycles. If money has been tight, your situation will improve. If not, you’d better tighten your belt! Whatever is happening, thank the Universe for your abundance and take control of your financial situation.
Spiritual Reflections
What habit or pattern of behaviour do you have that you would
like to change but have yet to be successful at breaking? It might be drinking, smoking , gambling or other
addiction, or it could be some kind of self-sabotaging behaviour that tends to
ends relationships or pushes people away. Whatever it is, how conscious are you
of the reasons that drive the behaviour, and of why it serves you in the first
place.
While the power of subconscious mind is nothing new, it’s
worthwhile considering where the behaviours we exhibit without thinking come
from and why they are so hard to break or change. It’s easy to think it’s just
a habit and that you can stop it when you want to, but inevitably, when the
time comes, we more often than not just continue on with the behaviour!
So what if, subconsciously, the behaviour is replacing
something that’s missing, or even filling a void within us that we are not
aware of. How do we find out? Well, I’m no expert, but I do think awareness is
the key: of how it makes us feel when we indulge in the behaviour, how we feel
without it and of any trauma or unforgiveness we may be holding onto that could
be driving or feeding it.
The problem can be that, in many cases, people can’t remember
the events or people that are at the root of their self-sabotaging behaviour or
addictions. Trauma can lie in the unconscious causing havoc for decades, but it
can also suddenly be triggered with broken memories and repressed feelings
coming to the surface.
There’s definitely a difference between behaviour that is
part of someone’s personality opposed to behaviour that causes the person to
indulge in excessive or abusive behaviour towards themselves and others. In my
work, I have found that the underlying trauma has caused the person to feel
unworthy and undeserving of love and nurturing. Many clients are quite aware of
their lack of love for themselves, and sometimes of the underlying trauma.
Knowing what to do about it or how to overcome it is another matter altogether.
I often advise people to write their feelings down, or
letters to those who have hurt them to allow their repressed feelings out.
No-one ever needs to read them, but expressing and releasing the hurt is
important. The other powerful thing to do is to write and say daily
affirmations to begin to change subconscious negativity to conscious
positivity. It might not seem much, but when one opens a window, it allows the
light in and what might have seemed impossible may suddenly seem more
achievable.

What is the Subconscious Mind?
Pioneering psychologist Sigmund
Freud introduced the concept of the three-level mind model:
1. The CONSCIOUS = the thoughts and
actions we are AWARE of
The SUBCONSCIOUS = the reactions and automatic actions that we
CAN ACTUALLY BECOME aware of when
we think about them
The UNCONSCIOUS = past events, memories and thoughts that are
extremely inaccessible to us even
if we try to remember them
You can think of your subconscious as a giant bank of
information (thoughts, beliefs, ideas, memories) you have absorbed and stored
in your life, some of which you can access, some that you cannot. The
subconscious allows us to perform tasks repeatedly without much thought; things
we take for granted, such as eating, driving a car, or riding a bike.
It’s Got The Power
The important thing to understand about the subconscious is
that it’s responsible for 95%
of our thoughts. That’s a massive role in our lives! If
you’re not actively taking time to attune yourself to your subconscious and the
thoughts within it, you could inadvertently be allowing your subconscious to
rule.
The subconscious’ job is literally to use our past
thoughts, beliefs and experiences to prove
that what our conscious mind is trying to tell us is true. That’s its
purpose, career and life’s work by default! It will try to keep us safe (which
means to NOT venture into the unknown). It’s difficult to live
a fulfilling, aligned and
creative life if you’re unwilling to get uncomfortable and
venture into the unknown.
If you
consciously believe you can’t be or do something, the subconscious will work to
prove that right, creating the circumstances and stories that allow it
to prove that belief right. This is why it’s essential to spend time attuning
and awakening to the power of your subconscious.
Awakening To Our Subconscious
As the subconscious mind is so powerful, we need to take the
time to awaken to it rather than to let ourselves be ruled by
it without our awareness.
Awareness is the gateway to change. You cannot change a
thought, pattern, habit or belief until you are aware.
That’s why we must take the time to awaken to the power of our
subconscious through techniques like interrupting + questioning our
thoughts, journaling through distressing times and thoughts, and meditating to
align ourselves with our truest, highest sense of self.
Awareness is the gateway to change. You cannot change a
thought, pattern, habit or belief until you are aware.

The Human Collective Consciousness
In the energy of the Creator of All That Is, everything and
everyone in the universe is One. There is no separation from the Source of
Creation, even though many people on the Earth believe or feel it to be so. The
connection between humans is therefore intrinsic and infinite, with every
thought, word, feeling and intention emitted by every human alive on the planet
collecting around the globe as a mass of fluctuation and ever-changing energy.
It is called the Human Collective Consciousness and it affects everyone in
different and varying ways.
This ‘cloud’ of energy is a complete mish-mash of feelings
and emotions ranging from hatred to love, despair to joy, loss and emptiness to
overwhelming happiness. As the emotions of every individual change throughout
the day, so does the amount of negativity or positivity in the consciousness.
The location of where a particular thought or emotion was emitted makes no
difference, because the energy mixes with existing energy, fluctuating,
changing and travelling around the Earth at any given time. In places where
extreme events are occurring, such as war, natural disaster or travesties
against humanity, pockets of deep negativity may remain for some time. This is
why it is so important for every human to be careful of the vibration of their
thoughts and to send love to the world whenever they can.
People can be affected by the Human Collective Consciousness
without being aware of it and this is where the danger lies. Waves of love and
positivity will not do any harm if they come over a person unexpectedly but,
when hit by a sudden wave of inexplicable anger and unexplained hatred that
originally emanated from a person with extremist views, unwitting and innocent
people can suddenly become violent without explanation. Those whose vibrations
are already low due to substance abuse, poverty, extreme hunger and hardship
are particularly vulnerable because low vibrations will attract more of the
same. Empathic people, or those who are sensitive to the energy around them,
are also at risk. As the plight of humanity deepens and the grips of corruption
and manipulation tighten, this is a timely reminder to all to protect your
energy and remain vigilant.
It is not my intention to discuss the darker forces at play
in the world at this time. Rather, it is much more critical to stress the
importance of spiritual connection to the unconditional love of the Creator.
When one operates from the love of Source, lower energies cannot penetrate the
aura or soul of the person. It is critical for each and every person on the
Earth to extricate themselves from the illusion of the drama and materialism of
the Earthly plane and to connect to their own divinity. Meditate, pray for
assistance and begin to see the world through the lens of love, gratitude and
service. Be conscious of your thoughts and feelings, because they create your
reality and add to the consciousness of the masses. Work towards becoming a
master of your own destiny and take responsibility for your thoughts, words,
actions and reactions to others. Only you can change your world for the better.
It starts with mindfulness and ends with mastery. Ask me to guide you.

The Butterfly Effect
The butterfly has long been the symbol of change, both in the
scientific and spiritual worlds. Butterflies begin life in a form that bears no
resemblance to their eventual appearance. The beauty that eventuates after the
change happens is both breathtaking and spectacular and the sight of a
butterfly inspires joy and happiness in people in a way that a caterpillar does
not. While a caterpillar will usually repel people with its perceived ugliness,
a butterfly will attract attention because of its delicate structure and
stunning colours.
In the same way a butterfly attracts positive reactions in
people, so too can a spiritually awakened person who sees the blessings in
everything around them. This kind of person accepts people for who they are and
has a kind, warm and welcoming nature that makes people feel comfortable and at
home. The way a spiritually awakened person thinks, speaks and acts will
generally be of a much higher vibration than an unawakened person. People who
have not yet awakened to their own spiritual self are generally a lot less
aware of the impact that their negative thoughts, words and actions may have on
the world around them. Like attracts like, so people who live and interact with
harsh words and actions will bring about a reality that is stark in comparison
to that of a person who is kind-hearted and generous to others without
expectation or need of reward.
To become awakened, one must raise their consciousness to a
higher level; to do this one must be mindful of their thoughts, words and
actions and work hard to temper their ego. The awareness of self and of how one
reacts to others is a necessary step to allow one to see the world with love
and compassion rather than with judgement and condemnation. When one can see
the journey of another as spiritual growth rather than human transgression, the
absence of judgement will lead to an ability to see the world with
unconditional love. Awakened souls hold a willingness to serve others for the
greater good that transcends their own needs. In treating others with love and
respect, the flow on effect is to inspire gratitude and appreciation from those
with whom they interact and a lightness of heart that is infectious. These
people will find others drawn them because their hearts are full and radiate a
love and warmth that attracts people like a moth to a flame. They are likely to
meditate and to practice mindfulness and be spiritual practitioners, but they
are just as likely to be Christians, Buddhists, Muslim or Hindu or other of
religious faiths. Whatever their race, creed or religion or lack of it, an
awakened soul is one who has learnt to love and accept themselves and, in doing
so, needs no other recognition of self.
Every thought goes out
into the human collective consciousness and the ratio of negative to positive
emotions can have either wonderful or catastrophic influences on the events of
the world and on the way people interact with one another. Every positive
change a person makes to the way they think, act and react has a direct affect
on other people through our connected consciousness. The power of a thought can
never be underestimated. Every thought creates form and enlightened or awakened
people are generally more able to temper their thoughts and to recover from
disappointment and dramatic interactions with others more easily.
As the light in one person’s heart grows to allow them to
operate from a place of love and service to others, those who have not yet
reached this state will find themselves attracted to and influenced by these
people’s non-judgemental ways and positive attitudes. They may even begin to
find that their interactions help them to see the other side of the coin and to
see the blessings in life rather than always focusing on the negative aspects.
They begin to emerge from their caterpillar state into a butterfly and then
their demeanour begins to rub off on others. What a wonderful cycle to
perpetuate for the ascension of the world.
Be that person. Be the
beautiful butterfly who, by changing your thoughts from negative to positive,
can create happiness and harmony around you instead of drama and tears. Be kind
and grateful instead of blaming others for your misfortunes. Take
responsibility for the choices you have made and begin to think more carefully
about the ones you make in the future. Learn to accept others for who they are
instead of criticising and judging them…. and soon you will find that they will
do the same for you. Bit by bit, thought by thought, create change in your
world. Read, meditate, grow. Find a butterfly and become one yourself. That is
how it works.

Forgiveness
It is hard to smile at someone
Who has caused you pain and sorrow.
To think about the past is like a knife.
Words and actions thrown about will not be there tomorrow.
But the memories will be there to wreck your life.
For many who have lost in love
or been betrayed somehow
The story keeps the pain alive for years.
As it is told and then retold it makes the person bitter
Causing anger, anxiety and many tears.
Forgiveness is not easy when the hurt and pain is raw,
Surely hating them forever is the way.
But letting go of all that’s gone will help to ease the pain,
And allow your heart to love another day.

The Last Word
Animal Spirit Guides: The Crow
The crow is a mystical gateway to the spirit realm,
granting access to insights and understanding beyond the reach of the rational
mind. Its magic allows us to appreciate the mysteries of life and cultivate a
sense of curiosity about the unknown. By heeding the crow’s wisdom and
guidance, we open ourselves to the joy of discovery — both within ourselves and
in the world around us.
Crow Symbolism
The crow is a fascinating creature that has captured the
imaginations of people around the world for centuries. It is a bird with many
symbolic meanings, both positive and negative.
Positive symbolic meanings of the crow spirit animal:
· Intelligence
· Higher perspective
· Being fearless, audacious
· Flexibility, adaptability
· Magic and mystery of creation
· Personal transformation, alchemy
Destiny
Negative symbolic meanings of the crow spirit animal:
· Mischief and trickster-like behavior
· Manipulation and cunning
· Reputation for being a bad omen
· Scavenging and stealing behaviors
Association with dark magic and witchcraft
The crow is a symbol of magic and mystery. Its connection to
the unknown and ability to adapt to change make it a powerful spirit animal for
those seeking transformation. The crow is also an enduring symbol of
intelligence, a higher perspective, and fearless audacity.
But the crow is not all sunshine and rainbows. It is known
for its mischievous and trickster-like behaviour and has a reputation for being
quite cunning. Symbol of ill omen and deception, it can be associated with the
shadow side of one’s character.
The Crow, a Spirit Animal Symbolic of Magic
Crows are commonly associated with magic and the power to
manipulate physical appearances. Ted Andrews in his classic on animal totems
“Animal Speak” mentions that we can find crows are common animals that we can
find all around the globe. As such, they are a reminder that magic is
everywhere. When you encounter a crow, just tune into its behavior and it will
give you a clue on how to use the magic powers it carries.

Testimonials for Victoria Cochrane
Hi Victoria,
I came upon
your website today through the website Medium. I've read a number of your
channeled messages today and have found all to be resonant with what I've been
told, in addition to much that I knew immediately to be true when
reading it. Thank you for the work that you're doing.
I am in a
transformational time in my life (isn't everyone on Earth at this time?)
and started consistently channeling about 8-9 months ago. At first it
was only during medicine work, but now I can pretty reliably make that
connection without it. Initially, it was my guides, then occasionally a
group called "the council", and recently I received a
powerful message from Archangel Michael. I have been told many times
recently that I am meant to be a channel. And I have been struggling to
get my head around it. I've thought why me? This isn't a job. Etc, etc. I read
this on your website today and I really felt the Truth in it -
All angelic
and higher realm frequencies MUST be grounded through a human body in order to
make a positive impact on Earth. Accordingly, only those people who have begun
the process of awakening or whose soul has achieved a level of mastery in a
previous lifetime (and agreed to assist humanity as part of their soul
evolvement) can withstand the energy of etheric beings without becoming
frightened, unwell or misled.
I felt
something shift energetically in me. There was more of an acceptance of what
is, what I am. So I thought I would reach out and see what comes of that
