Insight from the Universe

I love a good reading.

When I vended at the Sunshine Market in West Asheville, 
I met Kelley. 

She dug a couple of my cigar box purses, 
so we did some bartering.

She said she would give me a reading.

Ohhhhh...yeah....

It's been quite some time since I've had a good reading.

For me, a good reading is advice from the Universe.

It helps you make sense of all that which 
is spinning around in your head. 

It brings out the crap that is sitting deep in your subconscious.

Kelley used the Osho Zen Tarot.

I love this deck. 

It's beautiful and is always an amazing guide to 
what's going on deep within.

I took lots and lots of notes -
mad scribbling as she spoke.

I was quite surprised at some things -
like the "RAGE" she said I had deep inside me.

Hmm - I don't feel angry.

She said I had let go mentally and emotionally, 
but physically it was still there.

She suggested I make art and 
work on this when the moon is at its darkest.

I wrote out a list of possible rage suspects.

Along with a kick ass playlist of Joan Jett, Marilyn Manson, NIN, PJ Harvey, and Tool - 
I got out a piece of canvas, markers, and lots of paint.

I started writing on the canvas things that I could possibly be holding onto deep within.

And I kept going.

I found it.

Unleashed it.

Cried. 

Kept writing.

And then - I started throwing paint all over it with my fingers.

Forget paint brushes! 

This was some hands-on work.

A heart emerged.

A fiery, orange busting heart.

From my heart rises fierce joy. 

I've released, let go, and begin anew.

"This is a new day. 
Begin anew to claim and create all that is good." 
- Louise L. Hay

I totally recommend Kelley - 
I'm unable to find her on social media - 
but if you are up for old school phone calling - 
here's her business card.

Yemaya ~ Surrender 

Illustrated by Hrana Janto

From the Goddess Oracle by Amy Sophia Marashinksy

Come with your cares
come with your woes
come when life is joyful
come when life weighs you down
come when you take on too much
come when you are spread too thin
come when you are danced out
come when you seek renewal
all I ask when you come
is that you surrender to me
mother ocean
my watery womb waits to hold you
nurture you
birth you anew
when you let go and give over all to me

Yemaya swims into your life with the message of surrender.

Are you carrying more than you can handle comfortably?

Do you think you must do it all by yourself?

Surrender doesn't mean giving up, rather you are giving over, 
asking for assistance so you can do what you want to do.

Wholeness is nurtured when you realize the only way
through some situations is to surrender
and open to something greater.

The act of surrendering is one of opening and trust.

Wow. Thank you Yemaya.
This has been my biggest lesson lately.
The act of surrender.
Not giving up, but giving in.
Trusting in Divine Power.
Letting go.
Surrendering.

I let go. I trust. I surrender.
