Deep Dark Sea Mermaid - Diving deep can be scary

Oracle of the Shapeshifters Deep dark Sea Mermaid Jasmine Becket GriffithTime is going quickly. Midwinter is just around the corner. That same night the moon will be dark too, so it will be a dark night for sure.
Some say this is the night to dive deep into your own darkness and then emerge from that place  to let the Light inside you be born again. Because that is the theme of Yule, Midwinter and Christmas: the Rebirth of Light.
It can be a scary thought to do this, but not diving, not knowing what lies beneath the surface can be even more frightening. Our minds can make up more hideous monsters then we would ever have to face.  So let’s dive. I know what I will find  there: a white paper, an empty journal, a dried up inkwell, symbols of my  fear of no words to write. Lately I’ve been playing with my cards and although they are meaningful for me personally, they don’t stir my inspiration to write about them. My mind goes blank. Maybe it is because I don’t feel well and it is too much effort to translate my thoughts into English but maybe it is also because I’ve just run out of things to say for now.
Since I don’t know the answer I will just dive and hopefully I will find some sparkly flashes of light there which will rekindle my inspiration…. 
Wishing you a wonderful and enlightening Winter Solstice

  3. What an appropriate card, Ellen! I'd say, so long as you are still playing with the cards and finding answers for yourself, even if they don't get written down, then you are doing perfectly :) Wishing you a lovely Winter Solstice!
    Hugs, Kxxx
