Daughters of the Titan Atlas, upholding the earth, and Pleione, the Protectress of seafarers, the Pleiades grace the sky. The sisters’ lore illustrates the gift and hardships of the Feminine experience. From Maia to Electra, the Pleiades marked the beginning and end of the growing season and the life cycle.
Maia – Meaning mother in Latin, is the nurturing eldest sister and Goddess of Spring.
Alcyone –Guardian of the Mediterranean Sea, making its waters calm and fair. The second, yet often viewed as the most powerful sister.
Merope – “The Lost Sister”
Asterope – Translates to “star” though her glow is faint
Celaeno –Among the dimmer stars because she was struck by lightning.
Taygete – Asked Artemis to turn her into a deer to escape arduous advances.
Electra – Mothered the Rainbow and the Storm-Winds
Victimized by male advances and oppression, the Stars, also known as the Doves, took to the sky beyond man’s reach.
“Only from the heart can you touch the sky.”
-Rumi
Too beautiful and enchanting for this world, the Pleiades took to the sky, free from the admirers who strove not only to pursue but possess them. The Celestial Sisters escaped the physical limits of attractiveness and instead embodied beauty.
What is the essence of beauty? It is not love, kindness, wisdom, hope, and healing? The Flock of Doves is then the embodiment of all that is good. Yet, the singular energy was once comprised of seven sisters; mothers, wives, the mistaken, lost, depressed, oppressed, and secluded, just like many of us. And so, the Pleiades remind us not only of our fallibility but our Divinity. We, too, are both human and celestial, both mundane and magickal; neither negates the other state but instead amplifies it, perhaps enriching it.
From their lofty perch, they remind their priestesses that a higher perspective is both built on and contributes to absolute and universal loving-kindness. To see the “bigger picture,” we must first be willing to look beyond ourselves and our burdens, ascending our worldly heaviness. As we climb toward our higher selves, it doesn’t negate our stress or struggles, but it affords us a perspective in which they are much smaller relative to the vast human condition both in its shadow and light.
From this, perspective is born.
The Celestial Seven are both formidably strong and ethereally soft, much like the nature of our spirit. Our souls are everlasting and empowered yet receptive and supple to be shaped by wisdom, healing, and growth that the human condition and the Divinity of the universe impart. As we flow with Spirit, a gentle transformation occurs, a gentler form of the Pleiades instant transmutation. This is the Sisters’ ultimate gift to their priestesses, self-mastery through adaptation.

Sisters of the Stars, Doves of the Sky
I call down higher consciousness from high
Wisdom, understanding, intuition, and knowing

Going Forward
Set the intention to perform a daily ritual affirming your commitment to the Pleiades path, recording your daily experiences. It will remind you of your journey, charting the Pleiadian star course along the healing cosmic highway.
The Divine Call of Nature, A Pleiadian Channeling Ritual
The Pleiades are gracious and forthcoming with their loving wisdom and healing frequencies. While an open heart, peaceful mind, and heightened focus are required, elaborate rituals and offerings aren’t.
Nature journaling is an active meditation that cultivates a deep healing connection with nature, fostering observational skills, tranquility, mindfulness, and receptivity to channel Pleiadian energy.
Tips
·Use a dedicated journal to paste pictures in, sketch, or write. You can include not only direct observations but the omens or realizations that follow in the days to come.
·If you take notes in Vivo, keep them brief, elaborating on your experience later from memory. This creates a more immersive, meditative natural experience while strengthening your mind’s eye.
·Don’t let the weather hinder your practice. In the winter chill, you may not be able to stay outside long, but you can always reflect on the serenity of the falling snow from somewhere warm or dry.
·Focus on progress, not perfection; Nature journaling is a practice which means it takes practice. Allow yourself time to build your skills of observation, mindfulness, stillness, and spaciousness.
Before every outing, ask yourself how you can better prepare
What can you observe more closely?
What patterns do you see?
What new places can you explore?
·Set an intention before venturing out. What wisdom or healing would you like the Pleiades to impart,
or what questions can you ask to enrich your spiritual awareness?
What observable signs are there that the seasons are changing?
How does dawn feel different from dusk? How do they feel the same?
What animals do you hear? What do they symbolize?
·Regularly honor Pleiadian loving-kindness and leave an offering for the nature spirits in their name, such as collecting trash or leaving seeds and feed that are ecologically appropriate.
Pleiades Energy Attunement
Pleiadian energy is not perceived with the eyes or conceived with the mind; it is felt in the heart. This energy ignition has been written with this in mind. It is intended to be a build-your-own-adventure or, rather, a plot-your-own-star-chart guide to healing. Revisit this ignition time and again, gaining new insight, wisdom, and healing, building your connection with the Pleiadian Frequency.
Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of the Schizandra & Holy Basil tincture to a cup of skullcap tea thirty minutes before your journey through the starscape, deepening your relaxation and heightening your consciousness.
Have a dedicated journal or recording device nearby to note the messages, medicine, and miracles you experienced and received. If you can, interpret these experiences and their deeper meaning at the end of the ignition. If you do not yet realize their significance, know that Pleiadian Love and Light are within you; you need only look in your heart.
Center yourself, placing your hand on your heart
Begin by emptying your lungs
As you inhale, invite in the light of the universe
As you exhale, release low vibrational thoughts, emotions, and energies.
…
With your next inhale, expand your heart space
As you exhale, create space within your heart
Your heart is a portal of love. This is the portal through which you connect to Pleiadian Love, healing, and wisdom.
As you breathe, set an intention regarding your heart as a Pleiadian portal.
…
Visualize a cluster of seven stars – the brightest, most beautiful stars you have ever seen.
As you inhale, invite the light of these stars into your heart space, your portal of Pleiadian Divinity.
Feel the Love entering and illuminating your heart
Pleiadian Love knows no bounds. It is everything, yet intangible. Pleiadian Light infuses everything and everyone, it is everywhere, yet it is indefinable.
As the Goddess Energy swells in your heart, it overflows into your…
Physical body. What is it releasing?
Mental body, What is it releasing?
Emotional body, What is it releasing?
Allow this love to flow throughout every muscle, bone, and cell of your body.
…
The light within glows brighter and swells larger
Embrace the light
Become one with the light
Merge with the light and listen for messages of Pleiadian Love and Light
…
Emerging from the light, know that not only did you float amongst the stars, you also became one.
Gently ground yourself to maintain the peaceful bliss within.

Lunar Cycle Rituals for Witchcraft, Hedge Riding, Divination, and Acts of Service
They say the sky is the limit, yet Pleiades magick knows no bounds! Consider petitioning the Seven Sisters for the following spells and rituals…
Witchcraft
The Light of the Heart - The Pleiades’ physical beauty was only rivaled by their spiritual beauty's purity, graciousness, and loving kindness. Make a soak using lemon balm to illuminate your soul, cleanse your heart, and enable true beauty to shine through.
Blossom By Blossom - The physical mothers of nations, the spiritual mothers of multitudes, the Pleiades flow possess the power of creation. Charge your fertile power using the ritual candle to burn bay leaves marked with your intentions, lifting your petitions to the heavens.
Learning Love by Loving - Often as we age, emotional wounds and daily burdens block our connection to the love of the Divine. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of Schizandra Holy Basil Tincture to tea before meditating and become one with Pleiadian loving-kindness.
Hedge Riding
From Maidens and Mothers to Stars and Doves, The Pleiades lore is synonymous with transformation. With Pleiadian magick and medicine as your guide through the transformative journey of hedge riding and shapeshifting, The Celestial Sisters will show you the divinity of the earth, skies, and seas within.
Dolphins and The Oceanids are celestial counterparts. A symbol of wisdom, balance, and spiritual communication, The Dolphin Spirit leads you through emotional depths toward the path of higher consciousness.
Artemis gave Taygete the power to shapeshift into a doe, granting her freedom and independence. The Doe Spirit reconnects you with the instinct of your Divine Feminine. As the Doe, you can come to know keener awareness and conscious action.
The lore of the Seven Doves is one of liberation, transmutation, and peace. Soar as the Dove Spirit and find alignment, unity, and harmony with Spirit, achieving new heights of consciousness and depths of loving-kindness.
Divination
From their place among the stars, the Pleiades have a divine perspective of all that was and ever will be. As the universe’s heartbeat, you can connect with the Celestial Sisters through many practices. No matter how they share their wisdom, know that it is heaven-sent.
The Oceanid Sisters govern the water and waves; Water scry by adding skullcap herb to Moon Water and discover what Pleiadians treasures lie beneath.
Does, Doves, and Dolphins, Pleiadians love is synonymous with nature. Nature journaling, forest bathing, and path walking in nature lead to transformative omens, messages, and medicine.
Lay on the earth, look up at the sky, and bathe in the stars. Thirty minutes before star scrying, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of Schizandra & Holy Basil Tincture to a cup of lemon balm tea. You will not just float with the Stars. You will feel them within.
Acts of Service
Pleiadians compassion and love are interwoven throughout the universe, nature, and humanity. Whether you perform the following acts of service or acts that speak uniquely to The Doves, know that what brings them the most joy is that you do so with the highest intention.
The Pleiades were also known as the Oceanids. Honor and protect the healing nature of our oceans and seas by cleaning up beaches, supporting water conservationists, or starting with small steps at home to conserve water.
A window to the stars can chart a positive course for the rest of their lives. National non-profit organizations often teach astronomic studies or give telescopes to underfunded schools, sharing celestial inspiration and hope.

Pleiades Ritual Oil
This ritual oil embodies the nurturing and protective embrace of the Pleiades’ heart-centered, maternal nature. The blend of rue, Shatavari, and chamomile channels celestial wisdom, purity, peace, and healing. Purify, charge, and protect your tools and ritual space in preparation to commune with the Pleiades, anoint your candles for an elucidating divination ritual, or crystals before bed, invoking Heavenly Doves to guide you through the dreamscape.
1 ounce: Dried Rue Herb, Shatavari Root, Chamomile
1: 8-ounce mason jar with lid
Carrier Oil: Preferably Grapeseed or Olive oil
Natural Preservative if you plan to store oil longer than a month
Add herbs to jar. You may need to grind the herbs down if they fill over 1/3 of the jar. Slightly warm the oil to 160*. Steep herbs in oil and gently stir until there are no air bubbles. Close the lid and store for a minimum of 3 days but up to 4 weeks maximum. Run the herbs through a press. Add a natural preservative and fragrance if you wish.
Lemon Balm
Lemon balm is Divinely Feminine, mystical, and magickal like the Pleiades. Brew a cup to soothe your spirits and relax your mind. Flip it over, read the leaves, commune with Spirit, and open your mind. A cup of lemon balm tea can help ease menstrual cramps, nausea, headache, and anxiety. Large amounts of lemon balm can cause an interaction with sedatives and thyroid medications. Add the herb to a dream sachet or use it as candle dressing to illuminate dreams and future prosperity.
Skullcap
What dreams may come after a hot cup of skullcap tea lulls you into a deep restorative sleep? Skullcap eases anxiety, balances the nervous system, lowers inflammation, and boosts antioxidants. It should not be ingested during pregnancy or when breastfeeding.
For magickal workings, skullcap is an herb that is a loving, devoted, and harmonious ally well aligned with the Pleiades’ loving vibration. Drink to enhance shamanic journeys, sprinkle as a sweep to fill your home fidelity and friendship or burn and sail through life’s transitions like the seven Doves.
Schizandra Holy Basil Tincture
Schizandra soothes the heart and calms the spirit and has been found to positively affect the brain, liver, kidney, and lung function, systems vulnerable to stress. Holy basil heals mind, body, and spirit. It is an adaptogen, a substance that helps the body overcome stress and promotes balance. Holy basil is proven to ease the effects of physiological, mental, and emotional stress. It clears the mind, enhances relaxation, and promotes well-being.
I have made this tincture in multiple ways. One of my favorites is as an Oxymel with Apple Cider Vinegar & Honey as the Menstruum. The other way can be tinctured with Vodka. You can also brew as a tea!
Equal Parts: Schizandra Berry & Holy Basil
10% of the whole blend as supportive herbs: Lemon Balm, Hibiscus, Rose, and Shatavari Root are recommended but you can select any herb that aligns with whatever your body needs at this time.
