Your post was the perfect example of thd concurrent times, one filled with chaos and hate and the other filled with magic and love. The chaotic one always interrupting the other for attention.

Yesterday was one of those chaotic days but today seems to be blessed with ease and space.

Thank you!

Thank you for sharing. Yes, I was fascinated by the fact that I was living what I was writing about in the moment.

Sending you love

I love all of those "oak" threads. Faerie portals are for real. When I recognize one, I always ask for permission to pass (and 95% of the time it is granted). It helps chill out the tricksters. But of course, sometimes we stumble into them. Oops. Equinox blessings to you, and your kin.

Happy Eclipse and soon to be Equinox friends! I'm feeling the deep fall magic over here and am SOOO excited to get my next Seasons of the Witch oracle deck. They have connected me into the magic of the seasons like nothing else this year and has been so fun to play with.

I love all the Oak tree references as well and the deep magic of all kinds, from faerie portals to Mom helping you meet and process powerlessness. Maybe it all gets to be magic, you know?

I found my way, magically I might say, into an internal pelvic massage practitioner on Friday and then a qi gong for channeling sexual energy class on Saturday. Both have helped me shift some deep patterns and I feel myself inhabiting my pelvic bowl and lower two chakras more than ever before. I honestly hadn't quite realized how much I was not inhabiting them and how quickly I would vacate those areas and go up into my upper belly and chest when I was scared. Interesting for sure. And feels very timely with all the cervix health stuff going on.

I've also been decluttering like a fiend, both in my physical space and yesterday I cleared out lots of old emails that I had never responded to and were sitting in limbo land taking up background energy. The flow continues and I'm loving the yin energy of fall. As I sit at my computer writing this, it's a grey day, the windows are wide open, and the rain is falling beautifully on all the pine trees. Such perfection.

Thank you for sharing!! Your post is reminding me to be on the lookout for anything and everything extra magical right now. I’m in the woods in Maine, outside of Stonington, and I can hear the foghorn from the harbor. It’s an amazing place!!

Beautiful!

Thank you for sharing it with us here.

Maine calls me. I've not yet dug into what that's about for me.

It’s everything and more than I thought it would be. After I posted above, I went for a bike ride and found a crystal on the ground at our campsite-what a gift!!❤️

Waving hi from Belfast, Maine 👋🏿

Nora, I have some thoughts on what the energies up here in Maine are if you're ever interested. It's taken me a long time to begin to suss them out, but they are finally revealing themselves to me, now that I've moved past my flight response to being here and have opened myself to them.

Thank you!

I will check in with you about this soon. For now, the Chicago magic is supporting us well.

I'm in amazement and gratitude at everything that's happened leading up to this eclipse, and bursting with excitement about what may come both with the eclipse and as its energies unfold over the next six months.

In the last 9 days I have been gifted healing work by two different people, and these two sessions cleared the biggest, most painful blocks and patterns I've been carrying my entire life. I have never felt so free, so clear and buoyant, and so absolutely luminous with light.

I have asked my guides if healing these blocks was what this eclipse was about for me and was told "No, these blocks must be cleared to make way for what IS coming with the eclipse." I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas, and I had a strong intuitive sense that my life and self will be undergoing massive transformation over the next 6 months and beyond.

I've been working towards this for at least 15 years and I'm in awe as I watch it unfold. I have no idea what it's going to look like, but my entire heart and being is singing "YES!"

Wonderful!

You know, I hadn't thought of the Trump cult as spellcasting, but of course that's exactly what a cult leader does. That's some food for thought. Here's hoping the threefold law comes through for us.

Yes!

I love your faerie gateway and the whole description of the dog park sounds beautiful! Thank you for sharing that and all of the rest - - dogs, snakes, family and oaks!

I am working through some fight/flight/freeze moments w/ work mostly, but the freeze seems to be spreading. I would like to say that I've had some boundary sucesses . . . maybe. Is it boundary or is it freeze? I don't feel up to this eclipse full moon . . . can we postpone?

Sending gratitude and love for this space, for your sharing and for the road ahead with your family.

Thank you!

I hear that about postponing but with the solar activity intensifying and then the Equinox on Sunday and the next Eclipse on Oct 2 with whatever else happens, I think there's no postponing.

Hugs and love right back
