Shady wood * queer love poem * hermit edition

Recently I started listening to folk\country music in almost threatening quantity. Absolutely inspired with *Shady Grove*, I created my version of lyrics, adding some Siberian flavour and craziness to that, for sure.

Shady Wood, my true love, Shady Wood, my darling,

no one has those hands of care, deepest eyes and open heart. I'll come to her to marry, late in autumn, frosty path. evening star will witness our vows, my true love. Shady Wood, my only mistress, I'll come to shady grove, roses blue and singing simple, fingers crossed and heavy boots. I'll come and tell her all my hopes and all my dreams, my desires which are hidden deep beneath old willow tree. sun in branches, autumn sweetness, herbs in meadows, dry and calm, fire smoke and mountain coldness, stitched with fears cherry bloom, heavy arms and silent evening, and one day with crows' delight go and rest in reddish cradle deep in her entangled arms. Shady Wood, my darling baby, I'll stay with her all night, she'll take my gods and freedoms, all what cherish human eyes. I'll go through broken branches, stones are cold and night is right, my sweet love's heart in cold waters, tiny flowers, crows' cry. Shady Wood, my honey baby, all your kisses - northern stars. Someone came to dance and fiddle, someone came to walk through night, I'm here, came to marry Shady Wood, my darling wife.

Oh queen, oh queen * poem of coming back home

I tried to put together some experiences of past days. How it feels to live in the wilderness of Siberia.

For all the hermits, mountain dwellers and travelers walking through some dark landscapes.

Oh queen, oh queen. She came to me adorned in rosaries and hope,

through years through grief and loss through corridors of sorrows through many roses fall and Moons, she came and said, you're my heir now, herbs, trees and stars one day will say to you their oaths, you will be queen and wear ornaments of loss and flowers. I took that all and no regret, I took that in my body, my legs, my womb, my breasts, my ears, then went and strived for hope that I'd gain the kingdom free of sorrows. I came to mountains and hills, to lakes and autumn rivers and said, I'm your queen true mistress of your powers, but they just laughed and smiled to me and someone said, oh crazy little girl. They gave me hut, they gave me time, they gave me in return some chimney smoke and candle stock and knife and mother's womb. I chopped the wood, I swept my home, burned candles, carried water, but something else and something more, empire full of sorrows. Fire, forest, woman's cry who died in child birth, long road to the shore and men who went to war but never in return through passing needle ear came back to their homes. And hidden words and hidden paths, a girl in pinkish clothes in search of sword was passing through the woods. I saw that all under the Moon, night bird flight, secrets kept, but hope was here, hope was light of candle that I lit. And that empire was all mine through year and dark stars call. I came and said I'm true queen ancestor's wooden crown.

I’m not enough - uncomfortable though, stiffness in your body - and it starts again, you run, searching for a medicine, only not to feel that not-enoughness. Maybe it’s worth to try new meditation, do new asanas or energy work, maybe new clothes or just spending the evening on your phone can ease the tension. Only not to hear the voice inside telling that you’re not good enough as a parent, not that good in your work or that all your labor isn’t bringing the result you actually desire. To go for a search outside - supposing that outer things can save you, other people’s approval or additional cup of coffee, new retreat, new life. But that’s a myth.

You might try to find someone\something to blame in your feeling that there is something fundamentally wrong with you. Programs instilled by society, upbringing, ancestor wounds. But finding something to put a blame on isn’t a way.

The only medicine is inside of you, nothing outside can fix your not-enoughness. Staying inside, seeing where that feeling is coming from, you start raising your awareness of it. Possibly, it’s a wound that needs your attention. Or it’s a signal that you should return to your center where you can realize that the feeling of not-enoughness is your resistance to being yourself, to tell your unique story where there will be self-validation, self-care, acceptance and understanding of your own way.

Here, on the line with the feeling of not-enoughness there are questions - who lives your life if you run from yourself? Who learns the lessons your soul is here to master, if you prefer to learn other’s lessons and bring into your life what doesn’t really resonate with you? Where are you if today you are not enough?

Practicing Isa, practicing ice

In the area of Altay, Siberia, where I live nowadays, in the wilderness of mountains, on the banks of frozen river Katun, all has stopped for now. The frosts have come, long nights and silence woven from cracking sounds of wood burning in pechka, dog’s breath, wind blowing outside. Slowed down, stopped, quiet. But it’s not a blockage or challenge to overcome - like rune Isa, drawn as a simple vertical line, if you turn it horizontally becomes a way, a bridge between two sides, the space between two dogs sitting at night on your porch.

I descend in winter, I’ve no obligations to be creative, to prove myself or be ready for the next step. The winter teaches me to be fully present, listening, seeing, feeling to develop clarity, exploring the fullness of meaning. It’s an inner creativity, nature moving through me.

I put rune Isa in the foundation of my daily practice. Isa - translated as «ice» which is the most musical, powerfully rezonant structure you can find in nature - bears presence, stability and clearity.

Every moment, every day we become stronger and able to surrender so we open a way for a spring, new birth, metamorphosis hidden during winter in slow purification of elements.

Isa.

Developing your psychic\intuitive abilities is a process of healing yourself.

Your natural state is openness and being psychic is your right, as a right to live fully and express yourself without fear, being sacred and unique.

You’re wrapped in the history of humanity, of linegues and families, timelines with their lessons and pain. That shapes the form of trauma you are carrying. Every of us contains humanity inside, there is no way to escape, only to go deeper. You’re here to heal. Yourself. Every moment. Through changing thought patterns, choosing heart, choosing your highest path, your gift and mission, your sorevernity and power, choosing to remember and be brave. Yes, it needs a lot of bravery to start healing.

Your psychic nature is opening like a flower when your trauma is identified and approached with respect as an unavoidable part of human condition. Your psychic\intuitive abilities are awakened when you start embodying your true nature - healing, loving, open.

Spiritual responsibility.

Inner child.

Flower blooming in the midst of winter.

Dancing with spirit, in the moment.

That learning starts when time stops,

it’s not going to be about past or future, but about you,

your true nature.

With clothes and knowledge you can always try something new,

but for the deepest teachings of your inner teacher

you should leave behind your preferences

and wait, posing, slowly coming back into your body,

letting feelings flow and thoughts follow.

In the moment of no fear, doubt and guilt,

when you accept everything,

you’ll learn.

We’re there, right in the doorway of a new era - Aquarius time, 5-d Earth, new evolutionary sequence. That’s completely okay to feel lost now, to allow yourself experience grief and sadness. It’s a way to go through the corridor between yesterday and tomorrow. Process your feelings. They’re the way. Past and future dancing on the same string, chalices up and hall is crowded with people, but there is always someone in the corner, turning chalice down, because there's so much going on, because feelings and memories of the past are lingering around asking to sit with them. Take a sip, the pain, the sadness, emotionally deep, looking in dark water. Stay there for a while. Time is coming. It’s already here. You’re blessed to live it. Emerging from your feelings, from the silence of your empty chalice.

Sacred Sun, the closest to us light form, the expression that our soul chooses to create in this life. It’s a sacred form of self, a church you enter to celebrate the connectedness of everything, expression of the frequencies of stars and histories of planets in your being. It holds your unique story.

In wholeness,

shadows merging with light,

free yourself from the clothes - the armor you wear to protect ego.

Find yourself in the moment where the darkness is contained in the light, so you’re safe, protected by the wisdom of your soul, and now you can calmly observe - past traumas, self-neglect, anger, feeling weak, feeling not enough, fear and loath - they can be fully expressed now and accepted - so you will step into the fullness of your self, naked, as there is nothing to hide.

It’s a revolution, new sequence, wide view, authentic expression of your self.

Find the words to say, connect with your subconscious through dreams and synchronicities, dance, move your body to open up and release past traumatic memories, get lost in nature and mirrors people around are holding for you.

Enter that inner church, light up the candle of your sacred sun.

With Chiron turning today direct in Aries we’re open to new possibilities in our healing process, able to access deep memories, rising from fragmentation into wholeness.

This is a moment where our agreement to go further matters, where we decide if we’re ready to descend into darkness, to accept what we’re going to find there; if we’re ready for metamorphosis and expansion.

The darkness is visibly fearful and hard to be discovered, it needs time, quietness, calmness to open to you the secrets, path, new territory.

Fear is a bandage on your eyes, a mechanism to hold you from reaching wholeness, it’s compartments, rooms, ideas, expectations.

Healing is about saying yes to the darkness, unknown, bringing light to the abandoned places, a calmness of warrior and openness of the child.

Intention.

You can.

Discover.

Wholeness.

Manifest completely new.

And blue roses bloom --- healing your inner child ---

This is a healing journey,

there is always a wound, fear is wrapped even in the most shining smile. Your childhood can be an imprint of the main themes in your healing journey - this is a time when we can see deeper, when we’re wise enough to open for any experience and craving for teaching, no matter how harsh, horrible it can be, our soul is fresh with the memory of why we’re here.

So we’re ready to go - passed unnoticed to the adults, words and actions towards us as children can stay with us for years, mirroring in various difficult experiences.

Inner child

That’s all held in our inner child, the first sparkle of our personality free from conditioning by education, family, social groups etc., widely open for life and its experiences as they are, full of play, creative fire and ability to accept and give love. It’s the most clear imprint of our soul.

Trauma

Trauma shadows the inner child, making him\her retreat into the deeper parts of the psyche, he\she isn’t a warrior at all, so quietly slides inside, leaving vague memories.

When we approach the trauma - see it, starting to descend into it, slowly healing, the inner child is coming further.

Things that can bring the trauma into the light:

*** meditation and relaxation through any kind of technique that help your body and mind to open up and release stored energy of the wound,

*** setting intention that you’re ready to reveal your wounds and start healing can be a great deal, it’s a kind of signal you’re sending to your conscious mind at first and then letting this intention go, forgetting about it, you allow your unconsciousness connected with cosmos to start working on it,

*** focusing on the things that can point to your wounds:

natal chart (look at Pluto, Chiron, Lilith)

evaluating repeating negative patterns in your life, your blocks

going to see your parents or staying with them for a while (the last thing is advised if you want no less but enlightenment)

reflecting on the relationships with people closest to you,

*** trying to reconnect with your inner child - dance, sing, embrace your creativity and try to see how your inner child responds to that, eventually you can even write a letter to yourself as a child.

Healing

Healing is a slow process of opening up to the trauma, letting wounds to be revealed, accepted and healed. There is no specific time, pace, process to do that. It’s like letting the flower bloom, not trying to open up the petals, eventually ruining the natural process. That flower is your inner, truest teacher, eventually it makes us grow, teach us love, compassion, understanding, let our souls evolve.

Explore. Reframe. Embrace healthy conflict. Celebrate that value is in your effort, only that matters.

Be your nature, grow, stay in the center,

walk in your inner garden,

as you’re a queen,

right here, human being,

and there is a beauty, a joy, always found again,

just in your hands, in the snow falling on herbs,

in stones and cats,

sitting on the porch,

stand on the ground, fulfill,

cast a spell of abundance,

be a power, be a joy,

an understanding

and

in the falling snow of

solar eclipse

blue roses bloom.

Solar eclipse *spiritual meaning* things to consider

Solar eclipse is coming on December 14, followed by Saturn and Jupiter conjunction in Aquarius and winter solstice.

Intensive. Revealing time. Play of light and shadow. Just several things to remember these days: ***It’s a gateway, time for quantum leap, big shift leading us to a new era, a new circle. It can be chaotic, dramatic, difficult to handle. Control is lost, you’re standing in the beginning of a mysterious path (is it a path really? or is it an abyss?). Let the cosmos show you, lead you, support you. Surrender in the dance of light and shadow. ***Reflect, re-experience, heal. A lot of thinking, bright glimpses of awareness. You’re reaching the moment to understand your past experience, years, circles, you’re coming back to see what is blocking your connection with the source, your higher self. Past traumas, generations of abuse are coming to the surface. It’s time to become aware, to accept and let go. Time to heal as you can’t move further with this burden. ***Your highest purpose. Cosmos is opening, with all its stars, cosmic pathways, light to let you reconnect with your highest purpose, your uniqueness. To leave behind what is not yours, the result of your fear, society expectations. ***It’s not a quick laundry, a mark in your diary opposite «solar eclipse», done. The road is branching from this place and time, it’s all about your intention, your choice. Wild unknown path. Dream big, set your intention, tell the cosmos what you wish for your life, our planet would be in the next era, light a fire in your heart and let the universe know that you’re ready for the leap.

Saturn and Jupiter * start today *

Today Jupiter and Saturn seem to move close enough so she can’t stay aside. From herself. Putting herself in the cupboard full of books, fantasies, escapes, hidden pain and fears - enough. Her Jupiter is all her passion to start anew, new journey beyond, in the landscape of wild unknown; her optimism - an unexcused smile of a girl standing on the road, eyes closed (or is she blind?), strange clothes found in the dark forest, dying light of fireflies in the hair. But she’s ready to go because it’s never too late to start over, because another circle is finished, shadow she was facing has sunk deep - and now her body, her mind, her soul frozen waiting for her to take a step beyond. Her Saturn is here as well, it’s her time, her father and traditions she was connected with life after life, her limits, her room. It asks her if she checked her wounds and fears before going. And isn’t it foolish to be that way if she can just stay? And where is her blanket to wrap her heart? Today, at this moment with her stars and cosmic pathways, lost, fearful, forgetful, she is sitting to remember. Birds in the trees, winter solstice is coming. Jupiter and Saturn in conjunction at zero degree. In the moment between expansion and contraction, between Jupiter and Saturn, just before winter solstice, remember yourself. It’s never too late to start over. You need yourself.

Five of Swords and Saturn

Five of Swords... it was always hard card to understand for me, that man carrying three swords (with two more are on the ground) - is he a covard, is he fullfiled his duties on the battle field and now ready to move forward. Traditioal card meaning is defeat, shame. But my Sasuraibito tarot offers something new in Five of Swords. I like its witchy vibes, power, querness. That witch is going to fight even if it brings unease, troubles, chaos, even if they tell, her battle is meaningless while she sees it’s absolutely necassary, being her duty. It’s kind of mind game, as if living in utopia where all people around tell «peace» and only she shouts «war».

There is another dimention to all of that - numerology of Five brings us to the consept of time, rulled by Saturn - time which gives us a chance to win or to lose, eventually asking to stay in the present moment, become strong and responsible for ourselves, be simple and start conversation. Saturn is a damn strict teacher, its lessons are hard to forget but underneath its heaviness and roughness he hides pure pearls which you get if you master its teachings.

Five of Swords meanings: fighting your (own personal) battle, time matters, Saturn seems to teach you, be strong and simple, open conversation.
