Celebrating – Spring is Coming

Prayers and Meditations. Hermit and Ametrine.

The beginning of a Calendula oil sun infusion! (Calendula is good for healing the skin).

My Brigid Bath Brew: Sea salt, black lava salt, French green clay,  and Calendula flowers.

FINALLY! A stocked apothecary cabinet thanks to Mountain Rose Herbs (mostly).

Kingdom of Me

I felt stupid.

I felt like a failure.

I felt weak.

I felt angry at everything.

I felt like i was letting something down.

I felt like the world was against me.

No, that I was against me.

Then Eric said "Spring will forgive you, baby."

I realized he was right.

I drew the Hermit, alone with his lantern of truth; it is harder to see with just one lantern.

I drew the ten of swords, trying to let everyone else take the blame and reaching out for,

not help but excuses.

I drew strength...not always brute force.

I drew the chariot...victorious and rejoicing. 

The card that was missing from strength and ten of swords was the two of wands...

This is the Me I want to keep, not the dejected and disappointed me.

Long live the Kingdom of Me.

My body is my temple and I am it's priestess.
