Any Witches Here? Part 7.

[speakout]

Or Wiccans. or Pagans? Or anyone who is interested in a magical path or feels some magical stirrings.

A place for support, learning, swapping ideas and magical inspiration

All welcome.

Yes another discombobulated one here too.

The teas, arnica and positive energy have helped somewhat and I'm out of the cast and into a full length brace. I still can't bear any weight on it but within 4 weeks should be able to bend knee to 90 degrees. (Have to be extremely careful not to knock it or fall apparently which to someone with a disturbing lack of co-ordination and a bad tempered 8 year old is slightly worrying!)

Incredibly discombobulated here. Drama with the teen before school, Drama at work and an emergency situation. One massive stress headache kicked in. Not really surprising considering everything that is going on.

After I had knee surgery I was told not to run, the emergency situation required running. Gladly done due the situation but that is going to be an issue in the next few days. Elevation above hip and ice is the perfect excuse to stay in bed yes? not that I can do that because life keeps going

Just popping in after a crazy busy day, looking after everyone, taking mother to GP, DS to work and back, brought DD back home for most of the day because she is feeling poorly and needed some TLC.
Plus cooking, shopping, working.

I am puggled! Just enough energy to have a shower and tumble into bed.

Sorry to hear so many are struggling with health and other issues.
Mercury is retrograde = begins today until 29th March.

Sending you positive and healing energy Hills

Sending healing energies to Hills and to anyone else who is feeling out of sorts or going through dramas or upheavals of any kind.

Treating myself to a very gentle yoga session this morning after yesterday's physio/massage session, which included a bit of cupping and reflexology. I had the best sleep I have had in weeks.

Wishing you all a peaceful night.

Feeling very out of sorts too. Plunged into a black depression and feeling very unwell. I think the constant bad news doesn’t help. Just feel overwhelmed.

certainlymerry

I am sorry to hear that. Do you have someoene around to support you?
Be kind to yourself.

Good morning sisters,

certainlymerry that sounds really tough. Depression is such a difficult illness. Please take care as best you can some seek support with the symptoms if you haven’t already. We’re all here for you. Sending you love x

And also to Hills, Loyaul Barton and any other sisters who are struggling/discombobulated right now.

Elphame hope all went well with the ritual in the end and that you’ve how had chance to breathe and unwind afterwards.

speakout my not so naturally green fingers are twitching too. Uncertain what the results of my haphazard seed planting will be but I’m enjoying the process!

Misty that fragpani flower is beautiful. I love hearing about the wildlife and plant life where you are. Glad to hear you’re feeling better rested.

Another busy week here. Particularly dark and heavy work with clients.

There certainly seems to be a shadow work theme and it’s been cathartic for the people I work with. I’m interested in the themes that appear in my work and wonder how much is seasonally/planetary influenced.

I also sometimes feel that as I work on my own ‘stuff’ I’m presented with similar themes by others and can use the skills I developed on my own journey to assist and guide people. Like this quote I saw from Jung.

Wishing everyone some peace comfort and glimmers of light amongst their day

I am using my anger and frustration to power me to achieve things today. I should be resting as really not well. But the other stuff is urgent and essential. So negativity being applied positively is the only option I have right now.

There’s a lot of energy in anger isn’t there Hills. I know harnessing it to get stuff done can be very powerful and I get that sometimes things just have to be done whether we’re up to it or not. Please take care as best you can though. It’d be awful to end up doing yourself further damage in the long run x

Yeah I know but the situation requires the teens' room to be completely disassembled for safety reason. It is a no choice need to find the motivation some how thing. If there is anger to be harnesses it is far better to use it than to avoid the task. It happens. Hopefully it will improve things in the long run, the short term it is going to be hard. Thankfully he is at his father's this weekend so I can stop and regroup a bit then even if i have promise to visit dsis

Roll on the weekend then Hills!

Take care as best you can.

Saw this this morning, I thought it was interesting and liked the idea of a shif to a less combative type of energy

Sense of loss, insecurity, instability, uncertanity, shifting ground and questioning identity is definitely going on here.

Morning (just!) all

I seem to be almost running out of time with everything, no matter how I'm getting through things, more appear, like a circus artist spinning plates. Every task that arrives brings a series of things that need to be done before that task can be completed. Always several jobs to do before you can do the one that absolutely needs doing.

Hills grounding, grounding and more grounding when things seem to be spinning out of control.
Touch the earth in as many ways as you need to

I will do Blanktimes right now I am exercising my swearing vocabulary and deep cleaning. Strangely cathartic as this job has been on my list for a while. And my god it was disgusting in there, i almost feel mean evicted in the dust elephants!

BlankTimes

Pms are still acting up- I tried to send this morning, but wouldn't work.X

I have burned myself four times today!! I am not usually prone to being so clumsy.

Do you remember my nature clutter? yeah, turns out I am a nature hoarder. I have just found a 4ltr old ice cream tub full of safely packed in kitchen role shells....

(the picture does not show even half of the collection - i think I need a trip to ikea or somewhere for a jar to display it!)

I don't know whether to be or about it. Which ever I am getting my grounding without looking for it.

Ouch, hope the burns aren't too bad QueenRollo

Ouch queenrollo Hope you aren't too badly burned. Do you have any aloe plants? I keep one in the kitchen as I'm good at burning myself too

Hills - you are as bad as me. I keep finding little bags and boxes like that as well!

I'm happy today! I commissioned a particular Goddess statue from Wyn Abbot Ceramics and she came up with two designs for me. I couldn't decide which to have- well one can never have too many pieces of artwork!

I managed to get out of the house today to take the little dog for a walk. We went to my favourite place - a disused railway lined with silver birch trees. It's a peaceful place and I feel immediately connected whenever I start walking that path. Today I could hear some gentle chimes but I couldn't locate the source. What's interesting to me though is that the little dog sticks to me like glue when I walk down there. I find it so strange as the path always lifts my spirits. Does anyone have experience of this kind of animal behaviour?

To clarify...I want to know if anyone has experience of animals behaving in this way in an area that you confused to be infused with a very particular energy. I hope that makes sense!

Considered* not confused

My own dog will behave oddly in some places yes. He has gone on sit down strike and flatly refused to go past certain places.

He also clearly sees things I don't which can be very unnerving at times

HillsBesideTheSea

That'sa lovely collection, I always take such things as signs, especially when things are tough. Maybe some water energy is what you need right now?

QueenRollo I hope you are not in pain, burns are nasty.

Elphame how lovely- what beautiful sculptures. And that's you in the piece ! Just how I picture you. X

1potato Dogs are senstitive aren't they. And can hear or smell things outside of our range of perception.
My first thought is that someone must have wind chimes in their garden. Wind chimes make a sound that is audible to humans, but also make noise in the frequency outside of our range. And it may be quite loud in that range even though your ear cannot hear it.
It could be quite startling to you dog- and he sounds very sensible- he knows that chimes are not normally woodland noises, so doesn't add up for him.
I wouldn't see it as anything negative, my animals pick up on things all the time that I haven't noticed, animals are set to go into an alert quite easily.
