Today has been one that hasn't started wonderfully - my guardian, the red-winged blackbird, did not sit atop his fence this morning.

The readings this morning remained equally serious as well:

  • 10 of Swords
  • Knight of Cups
  • 8 of Swords (Reversed)
  • Spindlewheel
  • Fountain
  • Peacekeeper
  • Phoenix Wine

Fountain; industrial runoff, leeching ruin, the venom in a serpents' corpse
Peacekeeper; Mediator, vigilante justice, law in the hand of the common folk
Phoenix Wine; a single fiery feather poisons the supply and turns the sea to glass

had a panic attack on the drive into work today. had to pull over onto the shoulder and breathe. still disassociated.

I am at the end of a painful cycle, but my heart is trying to pull me towards release instead of staying trapped in the story my fear keeps repeating.
The old way of surviving is done; I must name the contamination, contain the fire, and let myself out of the cage.
Lemon tea, chilled.
