The Calling…
Once upon a time there was a child born who would become a descendant of great wisdom and compassion. Her journey would inspire others to become the healers of their ancestors and future descendants. She is you! Do you hear the call?
Sometimes in life there are great lessons and teachings that one must go through. We may say that we never asked for these lessons but long ago when we were still sparks of light in the Great Womb, we agreed to a mission. We agreed to experience certain things that would be difficult. We agreed to enter into the darkness, sometimes more than once. However, these are the birthing pains that we must go through to give birth to a new way of being.
All seeds are planted in the dark fertile richness of the earth or the womb. That is the beginning of the magic. That is where the seeds will germinate and grow; and when they are ready, they will spring forth out of the darkness and into the light. So too are we the seeds. Our pain and suffering is the fertiliser that helps us grow. And from this pain we become the alchemist who turns this suffering into medicine. We become the wise ones, the healers and the torch bearers. We become the ones who can help others find their way out of the dark womb and be reborn into a new way of being.
Transform your pain to heal yourself. Break free of what holds you captive. Will this be an easy mission, most likely not, but then we must also be mindful of our thoughts, for the mind can be a great prison gladly holding you prisoner. Make the mind your slave not you the slave of your mind. Listen to the song that is being sung within your heart, within your spirit, for there is great knowledge and wisdom to be found. Within your bones you also carry the wisdom and gifts of your ancestors. They are waiting to share these with you, hoping you will ask them.
Spread your wings as a newly hatched butterfly. Paint your wings brightly and show the world the beauty of your soul song. Bring your magic and passion to others. Be the beacon of light, the lighthouse and help steer others to safety. Embrace the magic that is held within you and bravely use your magic to bring about change and healing. Embrace the magic within you to become a daughter of peace and compassion. Embrace the magic within you that is also a raging storm. Embrace all of you, for you are a powerful being. We as women have given away too much of our power, too much of our magic. We grow and give birth to LIFE! If that isn’t potent magic, (and yes, with the help of the masculine), but we as women have a special gift and it is time to reclaim this gift of being the givers of life, the birthers of life. It is time to become more powerful then the men that are the bringers of death. It is time to restore balance in the world. Be the light in the dark…
*This writing is inspired by my journey with the Elder Women or the Grandmothers; and some tarot and oracle cards I shuffled today. Last week I was called to finally step up and actively begin my path as a healer, a mystic and seer. I was told to stop looking outside of myself for validation. I was told to stop looking for courses that would give me the knowledge I wanted. I was told to stop giving my power away.
Instead, last week, I had to journey to visit with 3 Elder Women every day for 7 days without fail. A couple of days were hard because family was around or it was noisy, or I was tired, but I showed up every day. For those 7 days I was instructed as to what I should learn. I was given teachings and rituals. I was gifted ‘things’ that I would wear or use during my journeys. I was accompanied by 3 special spirit animals every day. The signs and omens that showed up throughout the day afterwards were quite mind blowing at times.
One of their repeated messages was about taking back power and not giving it away to anyone else. There is no one more powerful than us. Someone only becomes more powerful because we let them. The world is so out of balance and it is women, who are doing the work, the shadow work, the healing, that will help bring it back into balance. I want to add, that I also take comfort in the fact that there are many men out there who are also doing the work. The wheels are turning, slowly, but they are turning.
If this writing resonates with you then it is a sign that you are being called too. However, it is up to you whether or not you heed that call. Perhaps now is not the right time, but this may very well be the seed that is planted, waiting to germinate in divine timing. We also have a New Moon in Taurus, the earthiest earth sign, what perfect timing to be planting seeds, wink wink…
Magic…
Magic is all of life being born out of the darkness, the Holy Womb of darkness. Within our bodies we carry the Holy Womb.
