Oracle prompt for sh*tty portals of energy
Today is November 14th. This day last week was Samhain…an important day on the wheel of the year. Every one of the thresholds we cross in this sacred wheel has a portal of energy that begins before the actual day and continues after. And every year is different in the portals duration, theme, challenge, and oracle.
This Samhain has been a whooper folks. I mean…a sucky, slow leaking fart of toxic energy from the cosmic system our fleshy bodies walk around in. This Samhain has me feeling like there is little hope as I cling to the faint smell of my vision that says “it’s all gonna be okay…just hang in there…this is an essential part”.
This Samhain portal started weeks ago…like, late-mid October. And it’s only now I feel like there might be some more air in the room (so to speak), and I can maybe look at the portal objectively for a clear oracle. Any other day before this and I can see that my emotions would have skewed any medicine that is in this poison.
logical reason is sexy. critical thinking is divine. objectivity is essential to a mystics ability to oracle cleanly. ~nissa
Anyway, I’m taking myself to my Oracle Prompt Cards to begin the alchemy of this Samhain portal that has been pretty shitty for me.
Wait for it…
The oracle prompt I pull is…
Funny. Direct as always, I can hear the answers within me…that inner wisdom reminding me that I need to be less worried…more trusting of what we could all call fate, or divine design, or cycles of life. I need to be more of the me that has a useful dark sense of humor, instead of the me who takes it all so seriously. I need to be more quiet…listening…and comfortable in uncomfortable silences. I need to be more resilient…because I can now see I’ve let myself slip into some weak-ass-ness and I cannot let that be who I become.
What I need to do is not speak everything that comes into my head. I need to share what I do and not care who rejects it. I need to keep the stories and the feelings simple. I need to revive my home and hearth practices. I need to do more nothing so that anything is possible. I need to make more things…stay more creatively active…get lost in the woods again.
Even with the oracle-alchemy coming forth with just the prompts, I felt my animal spirit deck wanting to “have a say” and give me some support for this time. So…let’s pull from that…
Wait for it…
The card for “how do I need to be?'“ is…
Rabbit? Bleh. Are you kidding me? Wait…drop in…what is this telling me? Be alert as you trust what will be and what is happening for a reason. Just because you surrender to trust doesn’t mean apathy is next. In fact, apathy grants you bypass and you sure as hell don’t do that. So…trust and stay alert. Find the position that provides you the best view and remember that thin skin isn’t always about being. a wuss-bag…it often means less fleshing and processing to become something else. (I know that last part from skinning and tanning a rabbit hide) - Yeah…rabbit energy is exactly what I need to be right now. (blushing with humility at my first response)
The card for “what do I need to do?” is…
Bear. Oh yeah…I got an open-armed-mind and heart for bear. And how perfectly does that line up with my inner wisdom response to what I need to do? Right now, bears are starting to hibernate. (do more nothing) And the bear energy right here, right now in response to the prompt is telling me that I have to soften to slow down. I have to let things be undone and unfinished to do the doing of slowing down. I have to be okay with what I got done so far and, a) trust that it was enough and what isn’t done can wait until spring…and b) if I really think I could have done more, then let the pang of disappointment be the motivating lesson to step up my game next spring to fall. Chances are, I’ve done enough…more than enough…and my self-devaluing victim story is true weakness…and I know I’m stronger than that. So…go into the cave my dear and let what was done be wonderful so that rest if full and real. There really isn’t anymore I could have done…
End of oracle. Do you want to see more? Go to the Oracle Prompt Card page for more teachings in the ways I use these cards.
I sense a clearing…a calming…a simplifying of my spirit, and it feels good. Definitely worth the time and energy to self-reflect and oracle prompt into that alchemy of shit to shine.
My hope is that this helped you in some way…that somehow me being me helps you be more you. #teachingbybeingamirror
Thank you for walking this moment with me. If you, and anyone you know would like to get my Oracle Prompt Cards, they are open for pre-order until December 13th. You can pre-order as Christmas gifts too! Just notate on the pre-order that it is a gift for _____and you want me to send it to _______address. Make sense?
I can’t wait to send your deck to you. I can’t wait to sing your name as I package everything up for you…a tradition in my free-range ways.
In living alive, healed, and whole,
