Ebbs, flows, tides. A variety of thoughts today.

Today has certainly been a day of ebbs, flows, and tides. Various thoughts and feelings ceetainly have crossed my mind and heart. This current astro woo climate including Mars in cancer definitely has held BIG energy, to say the least. Phew. SO much energy.

Im taking a break from sharing about midsummer solstice and how I’m processing from that unfolding woo portal since it’s become very personal and I need to caretake that in privacy. I can say for sure this midsummer solstice portal unfolding has been powerful, deep, and intense. Totally makes sense with my recently being in Naraya space then experiencing this as a unfolding as part of the shadow aspect coming up with the Dance I’m dancing since after being out of Naraya container and undergoing re-integration….

It feels like to me – with each coming solar and lunar woo portals, it amplifies bigger and deeper each time. The depth and expansion, spiraling down, upwards, and within of that energy never ceases to amaze me especially out of late.

I’ve started delving deeper into the Kabbalah and varying spaces with this thread of my weaving of spirituality and path-workings. Two books I’ve been connecting with are: “kabbalastic teachings of the female prophetesses the seven holy women of ancient Israel” by J. Zohara Meyerhoff Hieronimus and “The Jewish Dream Book the key to opening the inner meanings of your dreams” by Vanessa L. Ochs with Elizabeth Ochs.

I’m awaiting two more books in the post mail- one is about the ecstatic Kabbalah and the other is the book of letters. They will arrive soon, hopefully.

The ancestors continue to be very close in presence with me. Both the known and the unknown….

One part of many to the why I’m doing this work with the Kabbalah among other things – it’s connected to the thread of learning and understanding deeper within the Mother line of my unknown ancestors…. As well with my desire to be ever aware and honor both the unknown ones (since my bio mother is adopted and will never do the journey to find her true ancestors) – it seems like they are coming to me instead and asking me to bear witness to them in their ways and in that, to bring healing to the Mother line – and the known ones through my Father line which is taking its own progress.

Ancestor work is so so so important and it’s not for the faint of heart. I can’t emphasize how important I feel Ancestor work to be.  I feel for these of us who do this work; it brings so much depth and enrichment to our paths even if and when it is harrowing and difficult with  the grief, emotions, and other factors connected too. It brings so much healing to wounds that were left in the lines and can be healed, witnessed and woven into a new way of being.

It brings a whole different dimension with being raw, vulnerable, stretchings of heart and the center of one’s self. There is grace, growth, strengthening of belief and knowledge that is given in a particular way with this work which is not found elsewhere. It is hard to put that in specific words.

With everything unfolding since Naraya, I can say clearly one of the several Calls that I’ve received from Spirit – and has been re-confirmed in a very loud deep felt way –  is to walk alongside those who are grieving/mourning and to celebrate with these in their joy. This is absolutely important work, no question. I feel this  to be one of the threads related to/with the ritual and ceremony workings I offer and co-create with those who Spirit brings to me in these veins.

One of my dear dear dear chosen family-tribe cousins is actively grieving his mother’s passing. I’ve been walking along side him in this journey he is on. My heart and soul is holding him close ever so close with gentle compassion as he undergoes this grief work.

I don’t take it lightly when I am there in both actual presence and/or energy-heart space with a dear one who is doing this kind of work. It is a deep honor  and gift for me to witness those  in their grief work as well as a bright blessing to witness those in their joy.

With that all said, here’s this:
