I didn't start out gentle parenting. My toddler had to teach me that I could choose a better way, for their sake. Maybe I'll tell that story one day, but what matters is that I listened, and that I chose differently.
Can we normalize how hard it is to be a first generation gentle parent whilst breaking toxic generational cycles and doing it without your village for support. I may not always get it right, but I will never stop trying.

Artemis & Apollon.

Orchid 🌺

#Orchid #FlowerSymbolism #LanguageOfFlowers #EthicalOraclework
Orchid 🌺 The Orchid blooms slowly, demonstrating that patience is essential to our personal growth, and to our relationships. Like the orchid, the most profound aspects of life take time to unfold. Also embodying spiritual maturity, its rare bloom teaches that, like spiritual growth, transformation happens over time, and is nurtured by our care and intention. Lingua Botanica Wisdom S.M.

"Watery grave", by Timothy Von Rueden.
"Watery grave", by Timothy Von Rueden. A vertically trisected image of a man embracing and being embraced by a mermaid. The top and bottom third of the image show man and woman submerged in the ocean, revealing the mermaid's aquatic physical qualities, but also show the man as a red skeleton, emphasizing what danger he is presently in. The middle third of the image shows their bodies as human flesh, touching intimately at sunset.

Hi, I'm SJ, a disabled mom in need of help w/ monthly expenses, and funding a reliable used vehicle to help get around CC, TX with. Our car need is $5000, while monthly bills are detailed in the graphic below. ⬇️

Another Year of Survival for SJ and Her Children Hi, I’m SJ, a disabled Black mom with two children, needing immediate and regular assistance with monthly rent and expenses. My kids need regular medical care, and I am in the process of renewal for Medicaid. Due to my own disabilities, I am unable to hold a regular job, though I do freelance work online at every opportunity, in addition to running my online business and writing books and journals that I publish through Amazon, and my own website. These financial avenues, unfortunately, are not enough to cover our needs, so I have turned to mutual aid. I am married to my children’s father, but he left us near the end of 2023, and offers the bare minimum of support, which does not include any financial help. My children and I are alone in a city I do not know well, in a State that is not my own. We have no vehicle, and no local support or family. I hope that someone reading this will be able and willing to lend us regular monthly aid, to help cover the many necessary expenses of our family, while I continue working to earn what I am able. Monthly Expenses Rent: $600 Food: $300 Water Bill: $70 Phone/Internet Bill: $140 Electricity Bill: $200-$300 Transportation: $100-200 Thank you for reading.

Fuchsia 🌷

#Fuchsia #FlowerSymbolism #LanguageOfFlowers #EthicalOraclework
Fuchsia 🌷 Fuchsia symbolizes grace under pressure. Its delicate blooms hang elegantly, reminding us that true strength is quiet and dignified, even when the world around us is uncertain. Its delicate nature also prompts us to nurture our sensitivity, for sensitivity is not a weakness, but a gift that allows us to perceive the world more deeply, and with greater empathy.

Ethical Oraclework: A Primer on Healthy Oracular Practice

ethicaloraclework.com/shop/b159f3a...

#OccultSky #WitchSky #Polytheism #Oracles #EthicalOraclework
Prayer In the act of prayer, we quiet our minds and focus our hearts on the Gods. We open ourselves to Their Presence, and in so doing, we begin to recognize Their subtle influences in our lives. These influences may come as quiet responses, gentle prodding, or even a deep sense of knowing that comes from within. By praying regularly, we become more attuned to these signs, more capable of discerning the Divine Voice amidst the noise of everyday life." -- Excerpt from "Cultivating Inner Stillness" - Ethical Oraclework: A Primer on Healthy Oracular Practice, by S.M. Leanne Johnson.

"The future is not set in stone; it is shaped by our choices and actions. Oraclework provides insight into potential outcomes, but these are changeable, based on one's will and situation. Remind seekers that they may determine their future. This empowers them to make informed decisions and to take responsibility for their path. It also reinforces the idea that oraclework is a tool for guidance, rather than a predictor of fate." It is important to remember that humans ultimately control their own fates, through choice and action, as well as inaction. All paths are malleable, and we shape our outcomes based on how we flow with the circumstances surrounding us. Oraclework allows us to peer into those circumstances in order to create or find the paths that are right for us. Though there are and will always be events that we can not control, we are empowered to own the ways in which we respond to those events-- to the best of our ability. S.M. Leanne Johnson The Oracular Ethicist

The Universe cares for me and mine, always. This doesn't mean we don't struggle or have setbacks, but that our immediate survival needs are always met, so long as I focus on meeting those needs through a myriad of avenues. However, the effort must be constant. The Gods will provide what you know you deserve, and are willing to reach for. S.M. Leanne Johnson

The five total #reviews for Umbral Incandescence were removed by Amazon for reasons I do not understand. I managed to screen capture four of them, so I will post them here.

I'm very upset about this-- saddened really, that no one will know how much my #book was loved.

These are the only ways my husband ever talks to me.
Three things I don't like when talking to me. 1. Don't talk to me like I'm your child. 2. Don't talk to me like I'm supposed to be scared of you. 3. And never try to talk to me like I'm stupid.

May Gaea fill this body and replace my consciousness with moist Earth, so that whatever this body feels, I do not feel it.

Please, hollow out this vessel, Mother, so the things done to me do not hurt, and do not cling to my soul.

In Your name, Great Mother, I pray.
