Happiness

Well I got to have the pleasure of finally getting to see my family! You never know what you miss until you are almost 2 hours away! The thing is family is a very precious commodity in life, you can either choose your family or your family can choose you, or your stuck with the ones you have. And the major thing is sometimes you luck out and the ones you are "stuck" with are the ones that do there damnedest to make sure you are taken care of and do their hardest to do whats best for you. I have never appreciated this fact for the longest time actually, I never fully understood the significance of family. 

Family can mean many different things to many different people. 

A family of friends.

A family of blood.

A family of circumstances.

All these are signifanct of their own. They have people drawn together for support and love. Love is the key to family. Whether some do realize it or not your family does love you in a way that you may not see yet, but it is there. Right now my blood family loves me and I am SO very lucky to have that, and not all have that pleasure of knowing and loving your blood family in turn.

But, I digress. My family was excited to see me as I was to see them, not everyone understand that my family is very close. When one of us is messed with then you mess with all of us. We may fight with each other like cats and dogs, but we will ALWAYS stand with one another when the time is needed. Especially when something major has happened. We are thick. 

My sister rules. She's smart and quick witted. My dad has a dorky sence of humor, which I seem to have as well. And my mom's over loving, which I miss, because I know she's a mother for sure! I would not have any of them any other way! I love them for who they are, even if we have had our own disagreements. It is a learning experience, especially when I came out to them as gay. They never knew how to deal with this at all. My sister was like "okay cool" and my parents had some trouble at first because, like all parents conditioned to the "norms" of society, thought that it was their fault. 

"What did we do wrong" was the thought process, but they finally realize that it wasnt their fault at all, it was just the luck of the draw. And they feel very lucky to have me. After all of that we have stuck together, even after all of my poor choices in life as well, from my choice to run away to finding an abusive asshole. They have stuck by me and have done everything for me without asking anything in return at all. I am very lucky to have them. And so I was lucky to get to visit them this week. It just reminds me all the time when I visit, that I am SO SO SO SO lucky to have been blessed by my Goddess that I was born and given to them.

My family means a lot to me, not everyone can understand it and most of you reading this do understand hopefully. Whether your birth, blood family disowns you or not, you still have a family that does and loves you for who you are whether you realize that or not. YOU are capable of finding or just having a family like mine. Family can be chosen, or given. Hopefully you have both like I do and if not, well, you have a family! Be blessed by this fact.

Blessed be!

Tarot Spreads for Personal Growth

Image
During this exciting quarantine time, just kidding you are probably bored out of your own skull at this point, why not just do some self realizations. I am sure you are feeling some type of way right now, especially since you are spending so much time on your own. Why not just do some tarot spreads to help yourself out! Realize some things that you can do to help yourself heal and realize things that you need to grow. Most cases this is called Shadow Work, and I have definitely been doing this very thing recently. It can be a hard thing to face yourself, but sometimes it is necessary to heal and grow. So the blog for this week is all about that personal growth. The good and the bad. Because let's be real, tarot can call your ass OUT! So grab your tea, blanket, and tissues for when you do this. Grab things that can comfort you as you work the tarot and right it down. Then I strongly suggest to take a nice ritual bath, use some bath salts and imagine all this to run down the drai

That One Dream Ritual

Image
  I mentioned I was doing a Dream Ritual right? If not, I did it. I did this for 7 days using the spell bottle I got from the Witches Box Subscription . I wanted to do this to talk to my Shadow Side and get to know him a little better. I set forth my intention every night before bed and asked to better communicate with my Shadow Side. So here is my journey! I JUST noticed this as I was reading through my dreams. I kept waking up and for the dates I kept writing the number 10 each night. Mind you, I did this ritual while it was a full moon in February! Not October! I was so confused, I crossed it out and wrote 2 instead of 10, but I had the feeling to look up the significance of the number. I found that it is an "Angel" number, but I am not Christian by any means, so I kept looking for the spiritual significance, and the sum of it is, that my Higher Self is telling me to pay attention to this. I am supported, and awakening into more of my spirituality. I am taking this as a qu

Raw

As I sit at my table staring at this computer screen, I begin to type. I begin to write. I have touched base with things in my trauma and PTSD. I have figured out that when someone pushes for love and light all the time, they are just full of Bull Shit. Total, and utter bull shit. They are just so fucked up they cannot even remotely see what trauma and their own selves look like.  Taking even a minute to look at yourself in the mirror takes courage and all that I see when I see them is pity, because they will never have the courage to see the ugly to see the good in themselves. I give myself a Voice. And I ask that those that say only love and light respectfully fuck off. This path is NEVER all love and light, it is about the Dark too. You cannot have both to not have the other. Brining in the "Dark" can give you courage, power, will, perfection. It can tell you things about yourself that you never knew or you did and could never heal.  When you take the time to look in the m
