I like pulling cards in threes. I feel like they tell me their story in relation to one another even if my question isn't specific.

Thank you for saying this. Medicine is medicine, power is power. They're not mutually exclusive.

Art by Corrine (McBreen) Crone. A woman's face, distorted with several eyes, one large evil eye on her forehead, hands covered with sun and daytime clouds on the left, and nightsky and the moon on the right. Both sun and moon have human faces. The work is colorful with a green and plant background. The woman has grey hair glod study earrings, and red lips. Her freckles look like starlight

the warmth in my heart has fled
to chase other loves instead
but the warmth in my head remains
you speak to me in rhythm
as i fall back into oneness
and call to the ones who gave meaning
wishing for a new day to appear

the earth is covered
with concrete
but the ancient smell
of myrrh
still wafts through
the morning streets

how many generations
of sense memory
are awakened

rituals
uniting modernity
to the ancestors

I have noticed a difference in my symptoms since I've been in surgical menopause at age 36. Am on HRT but it's still noticeable. Thinking about getting medicated again for this reason.

Stop feeling like you need to constantly rush. Feel into your body. Check in with your community: human, natural, or other-wordly; with who keeps you accountable. Act with respect towards the collective. It's easy to go up your own bootyhole in a world disconnected.

How do you prevent being disconnected in a world that's so fast, with the internet giving us info 24/7? And the answer is, slow down. Take breaks. Nature is our guide here. Look at a tree and think of the patience it had from a tiny seed to become a giant. #witchmadness26

Preventing burnout while staying engaged is really my life's work, in and outside of any spiritual practice. I have ADHD and I move in extremes. I've noticed recently that this is caused by being disconnected - from my body & needs, from nature and the world outside of a screen. #witchmadness

I'm a US citizen and don't feel safe going home to visit my family. So it's not just foreigners that are reluctant.

Any step forward is a win. I've had a similar journey of weight gain with chronic illness, it's definitely tough. Patience is our friend (sometimes I get angry at her tho)
