your
| What are the parts of you that are dying right now? Are you experiencing an ego death? Are you shedding protective practices that you picked up as you waded through the darkness and trauma because you no longer need to be hypervigilant as you keep yourself safe(r) now? Are you remembering yourself and reclaiming the magick and medicine that makes you YOU? One of my absolutely favorite tarot cards is Death because it signifies a release of what’s no longer aligned and a fresh rebirth of YOU (or whatever you’re going through) My absolutely favorite representation of this card is from The Gentle Tarot The Death card is depicted as an empty hermit crab shell (pictured below) |
| Because it is uncomfortable to outgrow yourself, your surroundings And it feels soooo fucking scary to venture out of your hermit crab shell (your home, what you know) Even though it’s pinching you at the sides because you know you’ve outgrown it And the only way to move forward is to venture out To leave behind what you know with courage and authenticity To go out as your nakey hermit crab self In all your vulnerability and truth And that’s where you can find the new shell, that’s more sparkly, more YOU And we go through this many times in our lives And if this is something you’re REALLY feeling now It would be my honor and pleasure to hold you in tenderness And celebrate your vulnerability and bravery as you leave your old shell and head out to what’s meant for you |
| Because the possibilities are limitless for what’s unveiling for you right now To death and rebirth because life is made in the messy middles |
