Thank you for the book suggestion - each offering, whether it be a book, MC post, or a BTW ep., feels talismanic in itself. For me, yes, showing appreciation has been a tremendous help.
One family mystery, regarding a lost object, has been an icon that dissapeared. Since my mother arrived here as a refugee, nothing could be brought to the US, outside of money and personal documents. Her icon had smuggled out of the country she fled, only to go *poof.* It would been the family heirloom that I inherited as the eldest daughter, but it is long gone. The important thing is that my family is safe and well. At the same time, I do feel a sense of loss.
This post is super helpful, I appreciate the reminder that all things are impermanent.
This year I lost my beloved Hag Stone Amulet. It was so gorgeous and brought me much protection and comfort when I was working in a super patriarchal school that didn't value me or my perspective. (To be fair, they tried, but...)
I still feel grief and loss, and I still talk to her and tell her how much I love and miss her. Definitely the presence of an Ancestor in that one.
I was taught the term Karma Exhaustion for understanding when the task/relationship/effort/feeling is completed. The Karma has been realized. It's over. OK to move on now.
But as a human being who loves, I'm going to feel grief and I'm going to allow myself to feel that stabby memory as long as it's a sore spot in my heart area.
Everything changes. Even the presence of a guardian stone. Even (so called) democracy. When I accept this, I feel more peace. I fell bigger and lighter and more connected.
I still hold out hope that my beloved talisman may turn up - I'm pretty sure the chain broke out there in the world somewhere - so, maybe?
And I still hold out hope that we can build something better than so-called democracy.
Come on, Venus Stationing Direct, we're ready for you.
Classic Graymalkin.
