A friend of mine just had what she thought was a simple routine cataract surgery. It didn’t turn out that way and now she is struggling with her sight and the prospect of another surgery to repair the damage of the first.
As we were talking about this journey (she is very spiritual and understands that things happen on many different levels) I had the thought “It is time to see with new eyes”. Our old way of seeing just isn’t going to cut it in 2021 and beyond. We are in a new time and have to be willing to let go of the old perspectives of how we do things.
Yes, on one level it sucks big time, however there is a bigger picture here that she and I know will reveal itself as time goes on.
The last time I got this message was a few weeks before 9/11. I had just had Lasik surgery and wanted to throw my contacts off the top of The World Trade Center to represent my new vision. But, every time I planned on going there, something else got in the way. So on September 9th, 2001, as I was flying to London to teach at a conference I symbolically released them at JFK.
The Universe did not want me to have the energy of the World Trade Towers as my “new vision”. Two days later, 9/11 happened and life was forever changed.
Today we honor the fire goddess Brigit on Imbolc (Candlemas). Traditionally it was her snake (not the groundhog) that came out at this first moment of Spring and the ritual was more about seeing our own shadow than worrying about a groundhog’s. Since it is the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, this is the time to discover what is out of balance and to put in corrections so we may plant new seeds whose growth will support us moving forward.
Then we can truly SEE with new eyes.
In honor of Black History Month, I want to do a special shout out to Emil Wilbekin and his Native Son Foundation for all the amazing work he is doing to empower Black gay/queer men in the world.
Work with me
Clearing/Healing: It is time to sever negative energetic cords from past relationships including your ancestral inheritance so you can move forward with more ease. Book a session now or set up a Tarot Reading to get clarity on the forces around you that want to leave and the new energy that wants to come in.
Many Blessings,
