Into the Wild Sámpi Tundra

Old Ren she came down to the lake, her eyes they shone so wild and cold, she lifted her antlers to the stars and across the frozen years she called, she said your roots are in the glacial blue, though lands may change and times may roll, with a thousand mothers underneath your skin, you’ll keep your reindeer soul…

Sovereignty with the land

Two souls meeting in heart connection shines a light so bright as to highlight the shiftiest of shadows and all that has been ignored or left untended

Pele is awakened and the true powers of the wild self are awakened with her.

Hecate arrives to ask one to step through the threshold onto the path of wildness and the untamed. She beckons to make a choice, the one that is most terrifying yet it is the one to lead towards a higher calling.

Rhiannon, the welsh goddess, reminds that dreams will manifest and to keep focused on desire and away from fear. Shapeshifting is a key.

All will be tended to at the well with gifts to the water. Returning to the source to resource and heal. I vow to guard and hold the water energy and send a prayer to move towards my desires and embrace the wildness.

I have asked what this in-between is asking of me, and what I must lay down if I want to walk through it whole.

A place where the spirit of the forest pays attention to if I stumble through or will cross with intention. 
If I will I accept or refuse the path of the Soul.

Thresholds don’t wait forever.

And in amongst all the parts that are unveiling, integrating and shedding, the wild self who I thought was wolf, but at the core sits an elder with snakes coiled around her feet. She sits calmly in her power. She knows. No one can shake her. She is in the stillness once all else flakes away.

I send out a wolf call.

Who will answer?

Relationship is 8

Hiareath has been awoken in my body since we met.

I am opened up.

Parts of me. The wild wolf. The four year old. The mother. The grandmother who lost her boy. They are all rising up, jumping up.. to be met.

I can’t meet them all alone.

Relationship is healing. Surely all relationship has the potential to heal. Relationship to the trees to breathe and much more. Relationship to plants to support us. Relationship to my chickens who sit on my feet as I cry.

Human relationship is perhaps the one that can be the most intense… ancestral wounding that is reawakened and wants to move.. wants to be released.. in union.

I say “patience”; start at the feet first rather than going straight to the wound…. Calm the system first otherwise energy will just repeat…

I surrender to the flow of the water energy that is leading this. Surrender to the trust of the ancestors that wove all this together.. thankyou.. I know you also want to heal and I know you will guide us with this….

There is a deep responsibility here

Gender is separating us from truth.
Connecting body to soul. Body as a divine continuum and is sacred. Magic of nature.

The only way we can grow is through pain.
Breaking your own heart is the way to grow.
