It seems I’ve decided over the last couple of months to completely rearrange my life.
I’ve been seeing Ravens everywhere online, and the local equivalent, crows, in the skies, on the ground, in the trees. It was more, to me, than a mere coincidence.
It was the Morrighan calling.
Warrior Goddess, she who stands at the forefront of the battle. Those who stand unafraid before her gain strength from her touch.
I do not fear my own death, I fear only my cowardice should I falter in the face of a loved one’s pain.
I started listening to what Morrighan had to teach me. To stand up for myself, which I have a hard time doing. To stop putting my needs first in my life, above everyone else’s wants. To cut away the things in my life that were no longer furthering my goals & dreams, but were, in fact, keeping me from reaching those very things.
And, changes started to immediately occur.
I dyed my hair black. Not a huge deal, but it made a big difference in how I see myself in the mirror, and it’s about perception.
I got serious about getting into shape. I work out now 4-5 nights a week, eat better, & have lost almost 20lbs. I’m starting to feel really good again, and I’m not done.
I’ve changed/dropped a couple of relationships with people that I can no longer maintain for various reasons. Not necessarily good or bad, in and of themselves, but necessary to make the changes I need for my life. (Ok, yes, one of the relationships was causing me more harm than good, & my whole family, as well as my friends, were all glad when I told them I ended things for good this week. He’s still being persistent, & I’m not sure how things will play out in the end, but I took the first step.)
All of this has happened since I started seeing the ravens…
There’s fire at my fingertips, raven feathers in my hair, & the Morrighan walks at my side, whispering in my ear.
Embrace the flames.
