I always pay attention when a card keeps appearing, and today we have the Miracles card for the third time in five days. As I draw the cards, I speak an invocation, calling in the support and guidance of the archangels and my spirit guides - essentially my "team". One energy to whom I have a deep connection is the Egyptian neter Sekhmet. She is a powerful figure in the Egyptian pantheon, the daughter of Ra, the remover of obstacles, protector of pharaohs and patron of healers, both fierce and nurturing. In my consciousness I hold her as "She who was there before time began". She is eternal, a force of nature whose energy compels me. I have visited her chapel at Karnak a few times, and felt the incredible power that ties me to a land to which, in this lifetime, I had no other connection. In this lifetime is the key. We all know that Egypt is grand and mysterious, and above all, ancient. I've been blessed to experience the power of these ancient wonders, the pyramids and temples, to feel the thread of connection that extends beyond time and space, and to wonder in awe at how these magnificent structures exist at all. The eternal land, a living testament to the impossible. I have come to understand, through various teachers as well as the ancient wisdom that resides within me, that everything in Egypt is based on resonance. It is an ancient model of what we need to remember to survive the existential threats we face today. Harmony and resonance, the key ingredients to access a power that can build monuments to the cosmos, to our eternal nature. It is this ancient wisdom to which the Miracles card is drawing our attention. It is no surprise that this is the card drawn as I invoked Sekhmet's guidance.
We each hold this ancient wisdom in our hands, in our Soul's DNA. And so the question arises, what will we do with it? The Crown Games card anchors us in the question of how we use our power, in the choice of being of service to the greater good or to ourselves. So many of us do not trust ourselves with power. I struggled with this for a long time, convinced that if I had power I could easily be corrupted, because I was not whatever enough to wield it with discernment or sound judgment. As I unraveled the patterning that began this horribly inaccurate misperception, I came to know that power is not something that comes from outside of you that you seize or wield, rather it is a presence inherent within us that we demonstrate. Thus the question of how we use it is critical. It was only when I learned to fully trust myself that I recognized I am a worthy custodian of power. I am a wisdom keeper, a task that has been entrusted to me, a vow taken that I honor deeply. If you are reading this, you are as well. Resonance, after all.
And so the cards reveal further that the use of power is an honoring of what has come before us, and a reminder that in this moment in time we must remember the past in order to learn from it, to not repeat it. The raw dominance of patriarchy has brought us to a moment where anyone other than a CIS gendered white male of a particular mindset is under threat, and that mediocrity with appropriately pale melanin is more important than skill and expertise. Eighty years ago we saw what horror was bestowed by men who had disconnected entirely from the Divine Feminine. We are on the verge of another round of that horror, frankly. Yet the way beyond it is known to us. The Mother Prays. Her power is available to us, in its compassion and ferocity, in its loving and its justice. The collective memory of our ancestors, speaking to us from the Lower World, has bestowed us with their wisdom. We carry everything we need within us. We are reminded today to call on the Divine Feminine, in Her many guises, to fortify us as we choose how we wear our Crown. May more and more of us choose Love.
Blessed be.
