Family magic and study
Also known as re-prioritizing before this Virgo Full Moon does it for me LOL
Hey Ya’ll. Welcome to a collection of thoughts, recommendations, playlists and poems all by me for you…and me too honestly. A free newsletter that emerges every Mercury Day into your mailbox. Includes special deals for subscribers, priority access to new content and of course, talks with you. I love hearing from you!
I am currently in the town Friday the 13th was filmed, house sitting at my cousins in the heart of the woods. It’s comforting to be here. Even though it is not my home, I feel a kindred energy with the space. There is something to be said for family magic. The energies we share will intersect and intertwine in various shades. It is so rare for me to feel connected with my family, but Annie’s small reminders help me; her grandma’s china that I have remembered since birth, shared favorite books, witchy incense sticks and small bowls. She favors small details and corners to create magic, blending the future with the past. Both queer, both fluid, at home by bodies of water and trees it is yet another parallel of our lives. We have quite a few of those.
Here is a magical wall that beautifully displays her soul:
Of course, the second I stopped doing private readings, people came out of the woodwork. It’s funny how Spirit works. I was tempted to say yes for so many reasons; needing money, loving feeling useful, not wanting to say no because I care about and deeply appreciate my clients….and it showed me yet again that I spend too much of my time focused on being useful and financially stable. The world is at fucking war and my family is for all intents and purposes dead and I am more concerned with pleasing and meeting a standard??? Nah. Enough with that. It is not sustainable. I refuse to let the practice that stitched my soul back together become what it has been morphing into. Breaks are a sacred practice.
I pulled the sound healing card and Gregorian chant began dictating my work life these last few weeks with the Lenten season. I chanted my prayers and lit a candle at Compline, marveling that I get to create sacred spaces again and again. I am multifaceted and so are you Reader, but when's the last time you let yourself stop to find out?
I did a special New Moon cleansing when March began and went back to my runes. My guides said: “stop being the teacher and become the student.” They asked me to focus on healing my feminine energy instead of fighting it. As a non-binary person this is so fucking difficult for me. From clothing, to energy, to confidence, to being misgendered constantly and to sex it permeates my every day.
I knew They had a point, but how do I fix it? “Don’t. Be with it.” was the response.
SOoooooo I have been still and with it all. Here’s what happened so far:
Found a dress created just for me on a new outing with a friend at a local thrift shop. Put it on and felt powerful and still me instead of trapped.
Today, I stumbled across a used bookstore trying to find the nearest Starbucks because I have at least 1 basic bimbo trait (and wear it proudly BITCH) and found a book to study up on runes that I have been needing.
Acknowledged where there can be more growth. Not just SAID I will try, but actually TRIED. My cards confirmed all these things for me today:
After this confirmation, I journaled and decided that my Spring begins now. You can affirm it for yourself also if you like.
Wisteria is my favorite flower btw:
Recommendations of the Week:
I Channelled Msgs from Pinterest Images and it was actually really damn fun.
If you need an artist to commission for a tattoo, mixed media art, etc. Support my best friend Heather, a queer Non-Binary artist and musician. Their work is truly mind boggling and they need support as they navigate life changes. I have commissioned Heather many a time and they have been a contributor to many of my projects. I cannot recommend enough. Here’s a couple favorites of mine:
You can make art out of just about anything:
Share with yourself AND someone else this week a small victory/happy moment.
See ya next week. - Cat
