When we are presented with challenges, bumps along our path, it is said that it’s the way we handle difficulties, not how we survive them which truly matters.
Are we strong and brave? Are we emotional, but recover later? Are we just a soggy mess?
Our message right now is all about how we “manage” and then how we go forward from that point.
Look Deeply
The Universe wants us to know that it might be time to do some research. Staying in the past is never a healthy idea, but examining what got us here, is.
If we take a quiet moment, casting our minds and hearts back, what immediately arrives in the consciousness? Where do we land? Who do we need to still deal with? And, why are we continuing to carry this fucking baggage into our futures?!
(Okay, that last one maybe was just me.)
The basics here involve clearing away what we no longer need; dropping in to mediation, prayer, or a historical search of some kind. Once we review, once we examine, once we have felt, and heard, and Looked Deeply, we’ll be better equipped to face our present, and voyage on in to our tomorrows.
On our card altar, this same theme is being validated.
“Yemaya ~ 34
Grandmother Ocean, primordial
The Mermaids Sing:
We wish to share with you the knowledge of the Old Ones. The Orisha, Yemaya is often depicted as a mermaid, a vast primordial mermaid with a star shining from her head, a mermaid of Power who gives birth to the world.
Through her we remember ….. mermaid energy symbolises the Birth of the World though Water. Yemaya’s power and recognition is growing and beginning to ignite all of us. She is like a beam of light, reminding us of our great age, our strength, and the many, many lessons we have learned, and how we can bring so much more to birth in the world.
She returns, the old one who is part human, part ocean being, and all humans are born from her. Her mirror is the doorway, and the entry point to the unseen world. Her tail is the womb from which we are all born. The salt water is that which we all are suspended in, that which gives us life, and oxygen to this world of the Land.
And she taught us all – she birthed all the sea creatures, and she was vast – island chains are but the scales upon her tail – volcano her belly – and all faiths are permutations of her existence. We mermaids love Yemaya, she is the mother of us all.”

There were two of them, they were lovely. I needed this reminder. Maybe you do, too.
