#tower time

[wildwitch-artandmagick]

It is Monday morning and we are being hit with a lot of information in the news, a technique that is designed to intimidate and demoralize us. Please do your daily spiritual practice--breathe, ground, shield, engage your Ancestors and other spirit kindred, feed them, pray. Remember your Pick Three choices and decide if you want to shift those priorities. Then focus your attention on the three you've chosen. Make some lists. To-do, people you should contact, issues you want to research, household chores you'd like to complete this week. Hydrate yourself. Eat as well as your budget and temperament will allow. Rest if you can't sleep. Sleep when you can. You are not alone. You are not helpless. We stand shoulder to shoulder. These are the times we were made for. Carpe tempore.

Did You Think The Gods Were Lying?

The warnings began seven years ago: “a storm is coming – get ready.” Did you think we were making it up? Did you think the Gods were lying to us? This isn’t what any of us wanted, but here we are. And so we will do what must be done.

Great read, especially for those of us going through tough stuff right now! The focus is on politics, but I’m pretty sure that especially since July (2018), a lot of us have been going through a lot. I found it intriging because the author says the Gods have been warning many Pagans about the years of 2016-now for seven years prior to now, and I was Called by the Morrigan seven years ago. I didn’t know then that there would be such a fight for religious and social equality/justice, but I answered because it has always felt Right. John Beckett is a UU minister and a Celtic-based Pagan and engineer who I have been reading and following for many years. If you haven’t heard of him already, I really recommend staying up to date with his works on Patheos Pagan!

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Tower, reversed. I know you don't want to watch the current state of things fall apart, but fall apart they must. The old is worn out and tired, and it's time for the new to be born from its ashes. It's not going to be the most pleasant process, I'm afraid, but keep your eyes focused on the future, when you have the opportunity to rebuild something better and stronger from what's left of the past.

The Tarot of Bones Art Exhibit and Workshops will be July 21-22, 2018 in Portland, OR! This will be the only time all 80 original assemblages are on public display together. Details at http://www.thetarotofbones.com.

You can order the Tarot of Bones deck and book, or purchase a Tarot of Bones reading, at http://www.thetarotofbones.com/shop/ – and yes, even if you don’t have a Paypal account you CAN use the Paypal option to pay with a debit or credit card!

We are heading into the deeping dark of the year's dying. The Gabbleratchet is flying, the imps of chaos smell victory in the torn leaves. Deny them that, my dear and precious community. Pull their strong jaws apart and send them scuttling like crabs into the mould and crevices. Ground deeply now and feel the heavy Earth, waiting. Ground deeply and ponder your personal and cultural history. Breathe. Breathe. You know the next part, the old and chanted repetition of standing firm in the face of danger and despair. Kindred, shields up. Stand firm. These are the times we were made for. Light signal fires as need be. Summon your strength for the In-gathering. For the love of land and Ancestors, shields up.

Walking in the Black Tower

If I had to sum up 2025 in a word it would be "conflict" - in the Pagan and Witchy language I would say "Tower" The article below talks about walking in the steps of the Black Tower, the one that starts because of conflict and with the movement of deconstruction/ destruction, in order to see all the lines beneath it, heal it, and transform through it.

Walking The Steps Of The Black Tower

This year has been one of many conflicts. Social and political conflicts. Conflicts within various religions and religious groups. Conflict

Is your life falling apart? You’re not alone.

Right now, everyone is going through some version of a Tower moment.

Relationships ending. Careers shifting. Unexpected losses. It feels like the whole world is crumbling beneath us—but that’s not the end of the story.

P.S. This offering is personal. I’m moving through my own Tower time after the sudden loss of my beloved cat, Onyx. This reading is part of my healing—and it helps cover the unexpected vet expenses from this difficult time. 🐾
