The Tower - Tumblr Posts
Glossy black idia moth.
the reading was wonderful. mostly down to the with - sabrina!! - who was so down to earth, empowering, queer and neurodivergent!!
the main message : the tower, right now i am on the path of demolishing my current life and rebuilding from the ground up. more was said and brought up but this is all i will share here.
mostly she made me feel brave. brave to shatter the box iโve put myself in for the last 4 years. to step back into my power starting with grounding and protection. and purging all the fear i am hoarding in my solar plexus energy centre.
the witchy store iโve been going to since i was around 10 years old has moved locations - even closer to where i live!! - and hosts so many groups and workshops that i havenโt felt brave enough to go to.
before any long journey you need to make sure it will be successful. the right footwear, clothing - layers -, backpack filled with all your essentials and just in case and the emergency ๐ supplies.
this is where i am, entering the middle of the crossroads. ensuring i have my supplies. getting rid of what no longer serves - what has been buried and tucked away. then filling it back up.
there is work to be done before the next phase of the journey can be taken. things can not stay as they are. i embrace โ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐โs hand in mine. ๐๐๐๐ing her torch will guide the way ๐ฅ

Dream Report July 19th 2020:
I revisited an old address, with one of my childhood friends who dropped me off in the area. When I got there I saw my mom, and she insisted to drive my friend back home...
I was circling the block alone, and I overheard the locals speak of an urban legend. It was about a โlittle shadow that made the walls fall.โ It got me really curious so I decided to re-enter the house.
The inside was very warped with many dark halls and random doors, and I even got lost in there the more I wandered. But somehow I started to realize that I was the shadow man myself, and that I haunted that location the longer I was in there.
I met a young couple outside of the house which was now connected to a complex of motel style apartments. I was drawn to them because they wanted the property themselves. And they knew how to open the many doors within it. We all looked at the building and realized that it was meant to trap miserable spirits who couldnโt escape.
The area began to flood with rain, so we parted ways.
This was during my personal month of the Star. Which represents Saturnโs influence over the High-Heart chakra.ย
The truth of this card lies in the gravity of human life. It reflects the social responsibility of contributing your personal power. Since we all coexist in a shared reality, we learn to assimilate our expression of what we consider life. It goes beyond personal philosophy or culture.
Saturnโs influence asks to respect the needs of our own soul. As extensions of a greater collective, our individual consciousness has to desire civility and compassion. When we understand the importance of free will of mankind, in respect with our divine enmeshment as living beings... We begin to align with causes greater than ourselves, affecting tangible change on our planet.
My personal experience of growing up in a suburban town as a second generation immigrant-- this was only a struggle for me as long as I questioned why I couldnโt really belong to any culture.
The reality had always been that I was free to explore the context of things such as cultural identity-- what value that even offered me.
The address I dreamt of was particular to my lived experience with my emotionally unavailable parents. I was 15-17 realizing that the harassment I faced in school was because of my identity. My precise lack of it. Except I didnโt understand how to respect the fact that I was different. Thatโs what abuse does to people, it strips them of agency.
Luckily at this age, I was actively exploring spiritual subjects-- as I became aware of some hallucinations in the wake of a sleeping disorder. I was curious enough to search for a new source of validation. To see myself reflected in humanity, without relying on my family or my parents to understand.ย
As I studied tarot and numerology. I carried myself into my personal purpose as a writer and psychic. I did not require myself to change. Only to articulate my calling, my own path. I had to respect the fact that my diverted self-expression, challenges the expectations of the very real world around me.ย
This dream was showing me the context of constructs that are out of my control.
A romance card commission for @freedoms-callโ of their Hawke and Anders. It was a ton of fun to draw, especially the background! Thank you so much for commissioning me ๐๐

The Marvel Cinematic Universe Major Arcanaย โข Part 03
Doctor Strange / Stephen Strange
A pivotal figure in the Major Arcana, the Hanged Man has willingly stripped and suspended himself upside down; allowing his view of the world to alter completely. In this spiritual state, he relinquishes his ego and mind and experiences a timeless glimmer of clarity and enlightenment: his true nature. He merges with the Divine and acquires peace that comes from surrender and trust. The realizations that he has achieved here will stay with him forever and cannot be unlearned.
Hela
The time is finally here. It has been building for a while, but it's really happening: the arrival and death of something significant. A spectral being assumes form and stares directly into your eyes. A cold silence descends as you stare back at her, knowing and accepting the inevitable. Though it seems imperceptible now, there will be new life. Things will be lost, sacrificed, and exposed, but you must embrace this purification from her fully, for a new future awaits you.
Nakia
We often look at options from an either/or perspective, but Temperance invites us to consider that all things are possible, even when they appear to be at odds. Life is not static, and neither are our needsโthey vary across a lifetime and across each situation. Through listening and awareness, she reveals what your soul truly needs, not just what your ego wants. It's not as complicated as you make it. If you can put aside your perceptions and impatience aside, then you can create space for alchemy.
Rocket Raccoon
The forces in life that genuinely move us forward are not always black and white. They are complex and powered by fearsome and sometimes dangerous energy. The Devil is not about evil, but it represents the forces of desire, indulgence, and abandonโnatural qualities that flow in both directions, resulting in either growth and freedom, or bondage and addiction. The solution is extreme honesty with yourself and an assessment of what is actually needed.
Thanos
This figure in the Major Arcana who thinks of himself as an impenetrable Tower shall soon find himself crumbling swiftly beneath the weight of his hubris and ostentation. The Tower has grown ugly, complicated, and beyond utility; an insult to the balanced being that he once was. The change and unexpected devastation that he shall bring, though necessary, is often painful and his influence will be felt for a very long time.

The Tower
The tower was bustling with sound and movement. People going from one place to another. Some stopped to talk while others chose to simply draw the other along with them, voices condensing to form bubbles of sound. Each one popping up on his peripherals, it was disorientating after days of quiet and sporadic fighting.ย
Once he had finally pulled himself away from the courtyard, moving down into the lower areas. He had spoken to Zavala, Ikora and the chatty Cayde-6. The latter had kept him longer than the others. They had welcomed him, called him one of them and offered guidance in the coming days. Through it all, Nova remained at his side. A welcome, and familiar, presence.ย
He returned to the courtyard, the sound building up again. Titans, hunters, and warlocks mixed with the few civilians that seemed to congregate in the area, with the occasional ghost popping up to assist.ย
The Warlock felt the last piece slide into place, centring him in a way he didnโt know he had needed. He looked at Nova, the small ghost floating closer.ย
