I have lived as a lone witch for a long time. It was in my Saturn return that I knelt on the floor with my hands on the earth & felt the energy of Persephone awakening in me. That was 15 years ago.
The words kept coming โI just want to be left aloneโ. I moved into a little home on a corner with a nature reserve in front & to the side. I started working from home. There my journey into becoming the real me, started.
Iโve moved since, to the more rural, spirited & wilded town where I grew up & I live in the old house of my adolescence, down the road from a park where three rivers confluence. There are so many stories to tell of adventures in this park with many a childhood & teenage friend.
At school in those years the children definitely thought of me as a bit strange & other, but more in a bemused type of way. A bit like Wednesday Adams I did well in school, loved the Spirit of Academia & books & writing & I participated in sport & teams & everything that went with it. It wasnโt all good all the time; but it was also not all bad.
Living in the same house means that from time to time an old friend passes by & stops for a visit. Entering my house they look around because the stuff in it has changed, it has all my books stacked in shelves, my plants & stones, candles & bones & jars.
An old male friend stopped by, he looked at my very bulky Sanskrit dictionary, pointed at it & asked what do you do with that? Obviously I translate Sanskrit with it. Ancient languages can be viewed as magical.
The letters of the Sanskrit alphabet are creational sounds & Kali wears them on a skull-bead mala / rosary ๐ฟ hung on her neck.
In the street in front of the house is an old oak grove, & we used to walk under those trees ๐ณ, that it feels like the trees know us better than we know ourselves.
When we were young I had to hide my true nature for fear of being really outsided & exhiled by my community & group.
What has changed in the 30 years (Iโm now 47), is that I can happily accept my deepest nature, my likes & needs, & interests & goals etc. I no longer need to push it under.
I donโt need only human company.
The trees ๐ณ & the books ๐ themselves (books are trees โผ๏ธ) are the spirits I keep company with.
Both trees ๐ณ & books ๐ are Spirit speakers of unseen knowledge. Knowledge grows from seeds planted in the soul of consciousness, nourished with time spent in solitude, contemplation & ๐ด๐ช๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ญ๐บ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ.
The greatest gift of the midlife awakening โค๏ธโ๐ฅ, is becoming your own companion & the joy keeping company with the spirit companions in your environment.
