” We think we listen. But very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening of this very special kind is one of the most potent forces for change that I know”
Carl Rogers
Happy Solstice
The return of the light
Awareness
What can you hear
For myself this morning I listened to the yearning for change
The counting down of days left in 2021
Understandable
This year has been the hardest of my life so far
Finally marked yesterday
On mother’s night, the longest darkness
With the completion of my mum’s headstone
The love we feel alongside her words, set in stone for all to see for an eternity
Her legacy
Despite longing to visit today I have made a promise to my nieces
To introduce them to magic
On this day of Yule we shall be creating, dream catchers, sigils, grimoires and discovering thier own light.
Tomorrow, on the day of the Divine Feminine, as a family, we will visit mum.
Together
As it has always been, to complete a time of great loss.
In meditation with this, as the sun rose, I shuffled the Tarot.
Strength and Death on the bottom of the pack, I selected from behind the Six of Swords.
Tuning into the unknown card in my hand I came face to face with The Tower
.So real I could touch the stone, the lightening so bright I could barely see, I asked for a message, wishing to leave this energy as quickly as I could.
Hearing “you cannot force the insight of change”
I waited
Listened
Watched several ninja characters abseil down, many more jump to thier freedom.
Still I waited
Listened
Eventually welcomed into the Tower I ascended to the very top of what had now become a light house, embraced in a deep, nurturing calm and recieved “it is what it is”
The card was The Queen of Wands
Today take a moment to pause
To hear the light within you
To be with this awareness
Not to understand
To observe your own Magical connection here
To welcome home your own legacy
To free the gifts you have discovered in 2021
May we all use our language to solidify our love for one another, all our relations and the Great Mother with empathy of the changes that have occurred and to come.
In munay
