Good morning witches
I hope you all had a wonderful Beltane, and are enjoying the spring weather. Looking out of my window I can see our big Rhododendron is in full bloom and it’s pink flowers are looking lovely in the morning sunlight. It’ s now not so much of a bush, more heading in to a tree! It is the best symbolic tree we have in the garden and it’s a sure sign that life has returned after the winter months. This year we where also lucky enough to have tadpoles in the pond too, another marker of the session.
One of the many aspects of the Goddess that I love is her role as keeper off the cross roads. In the last 5 years I think I’ve stood at more cross roads in my life than at any other time. Some have been cross roads that I have created, others forced upon me and others more of the natural ones that every one has in their life. Their are big ones, little ones and middle size ones. What Job do you take?, how do you spread your money to get to the end of the month?, who stays and who goes? Every choice, every decision can be seen as standing at a cross roads. Some are easy to choose which path to take, some the choice is of a moral stand point and others you will dither over for months.
Because Our Lady also holds the keys and torch’s she is able to light the way for us and if your trust her, she can open up the path a head now matter how hard it looks. Recently I have been reminded that some times we have to walk our path alone for a time. And though I’m happy in my role as a Solitary witch, it’s always been nice to know that I’ve had other like minded folk around able to help guide me. I know they are still their but at the moment I know I have to walk this part of my path alone. Trusting in my Goddess to guide me by the light of her torch, I’m getting to know her and the way she works. It’s a slow and frustrating process but it’s not with out it’s high’s too. When you know you have someone as powerful and loving next to you, their are times when you feel that you can do what every it is that you need to do. With he triple aspect of the Goddess she can see clearly every direction of the paths we can choose from. And she will guide you down the right path for you if you listen out for her voice and look for her messages. ultimately though the choice is yours. She will guide you and even try to push you down the right path but it’s our choice to take the first steps along it. But I have found in recent years that even if you change your mind and double back she will still be their to light the way down the path that you choose.
As many of you will know I was meant to move to the Sheffield area a couple of years ago. It was all set and I was looking forward to the challenge of setting up and finding my feet in a new area with new people, of getting to explore the myth and power of the Moorland and getting access to some of the more ancient sites in the North of England. But then everything got put on hold because of covid lock downs and I had the chance to do some shadow work to start releasing some of the mental health issues I have. It’s then that I saw that the move North wasn’t right for me at this time. I realised that by not going I had the chance to remove myself form a toxic situation, that I hadn’t realised I was in till I had a degree of separation from it. Now 2 years on, I’m in a much better place mentally and with people that love unconditionally. I’m further along my spiritual path with a better sense of freedom then I would have had, had I moved. So although some times you might not end up in the place you thought you would, some times you end up in a better one. And although I didn’t know it at the time, I know Our Lady was guiding me, looking back at the books I was reading and the courses I’ve done in the last couple of years.
Trust that the Goddess is leading you right and you won’t go far wrong
Have a blessed week, Laters witches
