I have two messages from the Spirits today. One falls in line with Persephone's message about resting this season: Serpent Energy is calling. What are snakes doing in my neck of the woods? Preparing for winter. Going underground, into dens, caves, hollow trees, preparing for brumation. Ground and rest. " Brumation, not Hibernation ," Serpent whispers. The other, I woke up to this morning: " Find empowerment in being the monster in their mythologies. Unlike the monsters in those stories, you will not be conquered ." - Hearth Foxlynx
