Soul Contracts and our Destiny
In 2005 a man named George Dollowitch decided to go on a Abraham Cruise for Christmas. Thousands of miles away Linda Brackenbury (my former name) also decided to go on that same cruise to celebrate her 55th birthday.
Now, you might think from the beginning that this is a romantic story of two souls, destined to meet and fall in love.
Au contraire mes amis.
What did happen was George also paid attention to another message from Spirit and that was to bring the book Anna, Grandmother of Jesus with him on that journey.
Asking what he was reading I picked up the book curious about the topic. What I did not expect was the energy I could feel pulsing through my hands. Leaving the ship my mission was to get a copy for myself.
It was not a slam-dunk pickup at the local new age book store. It was out of print. Not to be deterred I was on a mission to find a copy. As a former Librarian I was equipped with the skills to find a copy and with a fair amount of effort I located 3 copies in a Oregon book store. I promptly read the book and gave away the extras.
Then life went on as if nothing amazing had just happened.
However, a seed had been planted that was to sit dormant for 12 years. In the meantime I was also guided to change my name and in 2008 I shifted to the energy of Ariana Rose, at the time not knowing the significance of the addition of Rose to the Ariana that had been calling.
Fast forward to Oct 30, 2017. I boarded a plane coming home to Calgary from a 40 day pilgrimage leading 7 women on the 800 km Camino de Santiago in Spain. There were many lessons to learn on that journey and I was still processing what turned out to be a very difficult pilgrimage energetically.
Entering the plane I was greeted by a dear friend coming from France sitting in the front row where I could not miss her. She invited me to a Halloween party the next day. Before I reached my seat I had already decided that nothing could make me go to a party.
Yet spirit doesn’t give up easily. Coincidentally the baggage got delayed and June took the opportunity to let me know she had something important to talk to me about. At that moment, like it or not, I got a sense it was important to go to that party.
I decided to go to the party despite not feeling in a party mood. To my relief it was mostly June’s love of children and Halloween and the energy was fun and festive allowing me to relax.
During a lull in the fun, June sits down with me for a quiet chat and then hit me full on with the message that she was getting a download for me. You can imagine the thoughts that went through my head with that comment. She got directly to the point – the guides are saying you are supposed to do Mary Magdalene Pilgrimages. At that moment, the furthest thing from my mind was to do another pilgrimage. However, there was a part of me that appreciated the reason I was sitting in that chair and the reason I booked that plane. I reluctantly considered that perhaps I was being guided to the next step in my personal journey.
I didn’t say yes immediately, but I did order three books that she recommended before I left the party. The Kathleen McGowan trilogy series captured my heart and I came to the conclusion that this was my next step.
And so, in 2018 not having a clue what I was really doing. I gathered some adventurous souls who agreed to go on an inaugural pilgrimage to France to explore the path of Mary Magdalene following the crucifixion. I was about to embark on a life changing journey – deepening my connection to spirit and to the Magdalene energy.
The fun continues with more evidence showing me that this is indeed the right path (no pun intended). A couple weeks before leaving on that first pilgrimage, a friend sent me an invitation to a Channeled Mary Magdalene weekend. She also said she was returning a book she borrowed in 2015 – the title was The Power of the Magdalene. I had totally forgotten I had purchased the book much earlier.
This new path is continually evolving. I am leaving this September for my fifth pilgrimage followed by an exploration in England after the pilgrimage to create a new offering for next spring. By the way, June who gave me the first nudge and who insisted I needed to include Chartres came don my 2nd pilgrimage and is now my co-facilitator.
An interesting note: the last person signing up for the mailing list included the following answer in response to the question “How did you hear about the pilgrimage?” “God”
I share this story to highlight the immense capacity of spirit to support you in ways that allow you to open more deeply to your soul journey.
I invite you to pay attention to the nudges and trust your guides are aware of your journey and are supporting you to fully step into what your soul is calling you to. Those nudges are sometimes quiet and sometimes very loud. I have learned in my personal journey that when I ignore the messages, that eventually the heat will get turned up.
When we listen to the whispers of our heart our lives change in ways we could never imagine.
Until next time, Ariana signing out.
