PISCES SZN WARPED MY TIME
I was lost in time last week. My final day house sitting, I set aside an afternoon to be with plant medicine. Microdosing is something I do from time to time and has been beneficial for my mental health, but I could feel my guides telling me I needed a full journey. Every 4-6 months I try to do this because it always feels like a reset when I feel stuck or simply need a reminder of joy and the beauty of the world.
Every journey for me with plant medicine gives me a word that seems to be overarching theme of my time. The word I was given was “PERSPECTIVE”
Copped this wand for $1 at a thrift shop and brought it to breathe and look at. It ended up guiding me on my trip along with my cousins sweet dog Virgil. He led me through paths including an anxiety spiral garden and to a mysterious chimney!
I felt like I woke up after months of lifelessness. One minute I’d be laughing in wonder of the beauty around me like a child and a few minutes later I would be bent over in tears. Winter in the woods was always a magic time for me as a kid. Visions of playing in the snow near my old home came up and I felt my heart physically crack open. I cried for a while and my guides absolutely committed shufflemancy (music divination) and gave me the perfect songs for my experience. It felt so good to create space for loss and new. I was in awe of every single moment.
Here were some of the picks:
I traipsed back home and made myself some Crescent rolls and ate every single DAMN one with abandon:
