The sea is one of my most favorite liminal spaces. What is a liminal space, you ask?? A liminal space is an intersection of elements. It’s neither one or the other, but a sacred space where you can invite in some very special, miraculous magick. Think of the pause between morning and night or night to morning. Or the mouth of a cave. All beaches or banks. That time between sleeping and waking or waking to sleeping. It’s just soft and blissful. The beaches are very sacred in Druidry because the land, sea, and sky are all intersecting. Every element is present. Earth, water, air, and fire. This day, a storm was moving in. So the atmosphere was charged with movement, natural fury, and the cleansing rain. When you are there, you tend to watch how the clouds move because sometimes that storm is meant for the land and sometimes, it’s meant for the water. There is that beautiful reciprocal and cyclical relationship there. The water gives itself to the sky and the sky gives it back to the earth or water. A very Gebo (X) concept. The storm actually hit both. Earth and water. And we got in the car just as the first raindrops fell. Whew! Liminal spaces feel good. I think they feel expansive and that’s why humans love them so much. This one was expansive. At least for me. I could exist as a natural human being in a natural liminal space. It felt like all possibilities were there for the picking. I did my clearing ritual in partnership of this sacred “chamber” of the planet. I experienced the lightning bolt of inspiration many times while being there. We made new acquaintances that were such lovely people. It gave me gifts and blessings. I could breathe. It was easy to be present. Liminal spaces are everywhere. You don’t need to go to the beach to find them. Just look for places where one element meets another and open yourself up for giving and receiving with the cosmos. I feel it is truly one of the greatest gifts we can utilize to reconnect with Source. What experience have you had with liminal spaces?? I often have channeling or visions come to me between sleeping and waking. What about you??

I finally have the time and mental fortitude to share some moments from my trip! This moment was… absolutely breathtaking. I was about the only plane passenger awake when the sun began to peek over the horizon. This was about 5:30 am eastern time. It almost felt like I was an astronaut, seeing something so sacred, so silent, and yet it nearly brought me to tears. The colors were mesmerizing and all I could do was stare at the simple beauty in it. I took a silent moment to welcome the day, I gave gratitude for a safe trip, and I called out to the spirits of the place to feel me and hopefully, welcome me. I brought no tools of my craft with me. It was just me, my energy, and all the worlds. Such a humbling moment. Sometimes, there are moments that shake us. Some are gentle, some are not. It’s the noticing and appreciating that matter. A mentor of mine would say: What you appreciate, appreciates. Meaning, what you give gratitude to, grows in value. The sun rises every morning and very few honor it. They take it for granted. They push past it to begin their day or sleep the day away. Truthfully, I’d never paid much attention to it all my life. It wasn’t until I embodied Druidry that I realized how deeply entrenched into the zombie society I was. I realized that I craved a life of meaning, partnership, and peace. None of those things are found in our modern society. And few will find the courage to break away from it. But one thing I have found to be true in my life is: You can’t create anything new without DOING anything new. This incredible version of the sunrise reminded me of that. Almost a promise that all is possible if we notice, appreciate, and take inspired action on behalf of ourselves and our dreams. What inspired action can you take today??

The first day we arrived in Florida, we spent the afternoon at a place called Old Town. It’s set up like an old western kind of town. A general store. A carnival. Rustic places to eat. Moonshine. lol. We hadn’t been to Old Town for probably 10 years. There is a pizza joint there that made us the best pizza I’ve ever had the first time we visited. So, we decided to go eat there again to see if it’s as lovely the second time. They did not disappoint!! Excellent!! But as we were seated outside, there was a single dragonfly the kept coming to land on the strings of lights over my head. Like almost directly above me. Its wings were beautifully iridescent in the waning sunshine. I knew it was a message. So I looked up dragonfly symbolism. I consider dragonfly one of my spirit kin. Part of my tribe. In all honesty, I feel my grandmother close by when I see dragonfly or hummingbird. So it spoke directly to me. You see, I’m rebranding my apothecary. I’m creating a new brand that is 100% aligned with who I am. And dragonfly is the keeper of dreams. I was very aware of my dreams. It felt like an omen. And it made me smile. Breadcrumbs. I’m following the breadcrumbs and watching my path unfold. What seemed to most people, I’m sure, completely random and normal, was something very sacred to me. Seeing the signs. Decoding the messages. Living life in partnership to them. It’s such a divinely beautiful way to live.❤️

Water Blessing “Goddess of this land, Spirits of this water, I honor you and bless you with my love. Thank you for welcoming me. Help me find clarity. I anoint my mind (3rd eye) to see clearly. I anoint my heart to love (heart center) freely. I anoint my womb (sacral center) to unleash my passions. Please take from me what I’m not meant to carry. Bless me with your flow and ease. Help me to remember the push and pull of the tides as I give and take in my life. I honor the rage in your waves as I honor the love as you retreat. As without, so also it is within. Thank you for your cleansing. Thank you for your stories. Thank you for your wisdom. I emerge from your emotional waters cleansed and renewed. It is done, it is done, it is done. And so it is.”

In an effort to enjoy more discussion and conversation, I thought to try a Weekly Awareness Question. Some will reflect the current Ogham, some will take you within yourself, some will challenge your emotions. Feel free to share answers in the comments, if you feel called to. Your experience might just help someone else see what they could not before. If not, I challenge you to journal about it. Perhaps a write & burn is in order. Regardless, pause a moment in your busy life and think on it. You deserve 30 seconds of your own time. ❤️
