The cards feel deeply personal to me today. I have been sharing these daily on my Patreon page, which has been both liberating and a source of frustration. I am convinced that the algorithm of social media is where dreams go to die. As a creator, I have an impetus to write, a Directive of sorts from Source. This is what I am here for, this is, in fact, my assignment. I carry an ancient lineage of the Bard, the keeper of words and stories, the magic of spells and incantation. This is within me, it is an integral part of my Self. The Sun and Mercury are conjunct in Capricorn in my 11th House, the Messenger of the Gods and the Self are one. For many years I avoided the gift that the words offer me, because I was terrified that I would be harmed if I spoke. The witch wound, a legacy of persecution for speaking Truth that is unpopular or revolutionary. So I quietly healed those places in my Self that were afraid to be seen, to be visible. As I did, the words became insistent in their need to be witnessed. The cards remind me today that even if no one is reading this, it has to be written. Even if no one likes or shares, these words demand agency of their own. I was given the gift, the skill, the tools necessary to form these letters and syllables into messages from the Divine, messages that are a potent medicine for the fucked up world in which we are living. And they are medicine not because I wrote them, but because they have come through me in some strange alchemy that is both me and beyond me. For this alchemy, I am deeply grateful.

And so the message today begins with the seeming obstacles, the frustration of feeling like we are screaming into the wind, requiring a resolution and patience that allows us to carry on when it feels as if we are banging our heads against the wall. Stop banging. Look for the window or door to move through, or look around for another point of egress that will bring us once again to our path. What is for us will find us, and will not be walled off from us. Patience and trust. I live in deep communion with the Divine, and the Divine is relentless is its clarity. Ask and ye shall receive. I'm pretty sure I wrote that yesterday as well. The Mother prays, the Divine is there if we ask, if we are brave enough to Receive.

Part of the equation of prayer, of communication with All That Is, requires that we do our part. Spirit meets us at the point of action. When we ask from a fear based ego need, there is a lack of vibrancy to the request. I was feeling quite pissy this morning about this whole process of sharing on Patreon, because my ego self was running the story that no one cares and who am I to say anything about anything anyway. The young, vulnerable me being told to be quiet because what could I possibly know, outwardly screaming in frustration while silently locking my Knowing inside. Well, neither Spirit nor I were having that. The Spirit of Place, calling me back to my Essence, to the medicine that has been entrusted to me and that has saved my soul. The beautiful Selkie, showing up again because the message bears repeating, Come Out Of Hiding. Shed the false skin of fear, of secrecy and shame, and love fully Who You Are.

I breathe. I write. I Am.

Blessed be.

PS. Here are the other places you can find me or follow my work. My goal is to be off of social media soon. Hope to see you in some of these other spaces! Much love.
