If yall observe. If not, I hope you have a good weekend.
It's been busy here. A week ago I went swimming with the family and all week long I've been feeling that mermaid energy. Must be them flippers or just me loving to swim. I've never really been into merfolk--in high school I used to make a bunch of mini mermaids and fae out of sculpey, but that's about it. I also have a mer-form in the astral, but I rarely use it. I usually just shift into whatever fish or whale, ya know? I've been indulging that energy by looking at artwork, swimming tails, playing with my merfolk families in Sims 4, watching real merfolk actors, and shapeshifting trance work.
I've also been playing around with Procreate and making little artworks for interesting animals I come across, like the two foxes that came across my path, a lightning bug that explored my entire hand, and a chubby wobbly raccoon who ran towards the woods yesterday evening. I think I'm going to do a merperson one, too.
Wednesday, somehow my cat got caught under our van and took a short, terrifying trip through the neighborhood and out to the main road. I was able to find her and bring her home. She has some damage to her head, but I've been watching her since--she's eating, drinking, using the litter box, and just her usual self.
We had another bully issue, too. Another ex-friend. This one was potentially more violent, as two middle schoolers (one we've already had legal dealings with) attempted to jump Midkid with sticks and a baseball, simply bc he's Eldest's little brother. That happened on Friday. Boy, has been been difficult not to show those punks why its not smart to fuck with a Witch's kids! But Loki gonna handle it.
That night I tranced, contemplating whether or not I should astrally visit one of those little bastard's houses and speak to the spirits who live there, but Odin stopped me and said to let Loki work (He specifically said to reign in Mama Bear). In my experience, when Loki says He's going to handle a problem, He does--I just had to make sure it wasn't gonna be after these little punks hurt my kids, ya know? I guess we'll see, the Gods works on Their own timelines and by Their own rules. Until then I told my kids to not be outside alone, and to ignore and walk away--do not engage if you can help it. As of now, it's just words, not actions. We have those asshole's addresses and will call the cops if need be.
I got friends on the Other Side and I ain't afraid to ask for their help.
I'm also proficient in protection magiks, which means I know a thing or two about undoing the protections on others.
For the Solstice, I made strawberry cake and asked Sunna to purify and protect my pendulum. For Father's Day and that mermaid energy, I took the kids to the lake for a few hours. It was cold! Mid 70's and clouds. BRRRRR! But when we got home, we had brats and chili dogs.
Yesterday I was going to do a community reading for yall, but I was up from 2-8am with hot flashes and a pounding heart. I'm very grateful for perimenopause--I've been waiting for it since I had my last kid in 2018, and I've been in it since 2022. Monday morning was the first time I struggled to sleep due to hot flashes. It's just temporary discomfort as egg production shuts down. I've been having my moon cycles since I was 9. 9, yall. I'm so grateful, even though some days suck. I've been thanking my body throughout this transition, too, thanking it for working as its supposed to, my kids, and other things. I'm also glad to know that I'm finally out of eggs. I'll probably talk more about this later, though.
Then I was going to do the reading today, but even though I slept well, I'm wiped today. Sometime before Honeysweet in August, the Summer Community reading will get done.
Imma go nap now. I hope yall have a great week. May it be what you need.
Thanks for the support!
Hail Sunna and other Solar Entities!
Face to Sunna.
Trust in Joy.
