Today the sun is out & it’s above freezing. So I think I am going to uncover my fire pit & cleanse it then burn my Brighid’s Cross from last year & put together one for this year. (It’s been a whirlwind for me the last few weeks, time got lost on me) I have the time & no appointments!
- I shuffled my Inner Child Oracle Deck by Amanda Lynn Hails 3 times & drew:
-
There is something you ha& now is the time to do it. It may seem overwhelming but beyond the horizon waits something more wonderful than you can know in these present moments. Do not be afraid, no one is ever truly ready at their first steps. It is not perfection that we seek but a life lived fully.
I feel like this is for someone in the coven & not really tied to me. Last night the Morrigan let me know that I no longer needed her assistance at this time but that she is always here when I need her. We had a 2nd great session at my appointment yesterday. The rest is going to be through therapy & but I have taken a few more than the first steps.
I hope this reaches someone who is wondering about when to embark on this adventure, whatever it may be.
Rune Draw

This is the perfect rune for me, I have done a lot of work since Samhain & have been going through Tower Moments one right after the other. So I’m happy to know that after the Morrigan let me know that she will always be with me, I have made it through the first section of my shadow work & have made some great progress this time.
Coming from someone that started Shadow Working last year when I joined Spells8, I honestly wouldn’t answer some questions or didn’t really look for the answer or watered down my answers. Not all the time, just with the questions that seemed “hard”.
Do the work. It’s hard, it’s ugly crying, it’s working through things & coming to a place of acceptance & forgiveness & self-love of yourself. It’s owning your choices & the results of those choices. Make sure you are comfortable & ground/center for a while. Make sure that you will have time to “recover”, or rest & practice self-care. Sometimes that means I talk it out with someone that I trust with the information, get some tears out, & then rest… the next day I feel so much better.
My shoulders don’t have a constant heaviness, the tension in my back & neck has subsided. My anxiety isn’t switching to panic in an instant. My anxiety isn’t even as bad as it was last week. Do the work. It’s so worth it. I have been really working on it for about a month & a half when things started spiraling for me because of events earlier in the year. I’m in a much better place with a workable plan & a sense of awareness about myself & my intuition has cleared up so much, it’s unmistakable.
