Parts/shadow *integration* can't be rushed.
The body and subconscious has to process the changes
And that just takes time 🕑
Too much too fast isn't the answer, it's counter-productive
Sometimes slower is faster

Walking the path begins with seeking.
Learning wisdom from it relies on noticing.
Again and again you notice. You return to noticing, and the lessons gradually unfold.
Patiently, persistently, we grow closer to the divine Truth.

Sometimes we find ourselves striving to be understood or fending off assumptions and misunderstandings. This is a clue that we've given our power away.
You know you. You understand you.
Those who truly care will come close enough to see and listen long enough to hear. #MentalHealth #Pagan

I am contemplating Fehu again; seeing it from new perspectives and deepening our relationship.
The lovely thing about Runes is how many layers of secrets they hold and the cycles we must tread before we can begin to see the next.

A dark anniversary with potent lessons; I like to spend this day reflecting generally. This year, I will add some ceremony and recite a favorite invocation.

May there be peace and justice where sought.

For the seekers,
Finding your inner guide and that gift you were meant to bring into this world takes a lot of patience and silence.
The guide can only speak when we are truly listening.

You cannot ever know how much you've been impacting others. Sometimes complete strangers come across your words or encounter people you unwittingly influenced and walk away changes as well.
Being your true, full self is powerful magick.

Winter Solstice reminds me of lessons learned from grief, shamanic work, druidic practices, and my healing journey all at once.
It has become a favorite of mine, but not for being festive; I prefer to quietly sit in the darkness alone /|\

Artists use lies to tell the truth and often it is the trickster who conveys the deepest truths (to those who know how to listen).

Sometimes the mundane leads you to the magickal; other times, the magickal lead to the mundane; in either case, the two are so connected in surprising, subtle, and potent ways. That is the real magick to me. /|\

Sometimes we don't have any idea why or any logic behind what drives us.
Sometimes we simply feel called or passionate.
Sometimes intuition, blind yet certain, guides us forward.
Following it has always worked out for the best in my experience.

Healing has taken me from therapy and psychology into energy and body work then to financial literacy and back again, because everything is connected, and my poor sacral chakra has a lot of wounds to tend.

Send your intentions then let life or the universe or the divine (whatever you call it) have its way in response to your choices and requests.
It's like a massage - sometimes painful or tense in places, but always healing once you relax into the work.

Sometimes we don't do the big ritual.
We are tired or struggling, so we don't light the candle and draw a circle, we just sit in the dark and reach out towards the divine with our hearts before falling asleep.
Sometimes that is the most potent magick. /|\

One of the most powerful lessons I have learned from grief and Shadow Work (IFS) has been to embrace endings. Combining that with recapitulation has made for potent and empowering transformations. buff.ly/IjqM8k6

Endings and Empowerment
Endings (failure, death, hopeless states, etc.) create fertile ground - harvest and plant carefully.
