Fluidity: Messages from Loki and Dionysus

 This morning I woke up from a dream where I was eating the most delicious salmon that I've ever had in my life.  Of course I looked it up because....huh?  I love me some fish, but that's all I was doing, just indulging in some salmon.

According to Dream Moods, it may mean, "To dream that you are eating fish symbolizes your beliefs, spirituality, luck, energy and nourishment. It is food for the soul".  Since it was specifically Salmon, it could also mean, "To see a salmon in your dream represents determination, strength, and wisdom. You are able to overcome adversity and achieve success. Alternatively, a salmon suggests that you are comfortable with expressing and dealing with your emotions. You are well balanced".

Hm.

And this powerful positive message after a powerful omen from Loki and Dionysus last night.  A message given to the Druids of Virtual Fire, but also one that extends beyond that group.  

Yesterday before the ritual, I was compelled to go outside and drum for the Nature Spirits--something that I haven't done in a while.  I felt their energy.  I brought it inside with me when it was time.  From the beginning of the ritual to the omen, I was letting Them drum.  First it was a heartbeat, then it was other beats.  

Last night we had two omen givers--the lady hosting a Gender Fluid ritual and me.  

The first Omen speaker drew tarot cards, asking the Kindred Three:

1. Ancestors: Seven of Wands
2. Nature Spirits: Six of Swords
3. Deities: Ten of Wands

"There is going to be strife, adversity, difference of opinion. We may have to relinquish some things, give up some ideas, places, in order to keep the people we care about safe. Not going to be easy, but there is an ending to it coming. There is a rebirth on the way. There is only so much that one person or society can carry before a page needs to be turned."

Me, as recorded by Willow:

"Loki: Talk about Foxlyn's dream, she was carrying around a dead rotted doe, represents gentle joy in the doe. The Devil card vibe, you have the keys to your own cage, carrying around the corpse even though you know it's bad for you. Letting go of toxic things that are killing us. Only when flies from the dead deer came onto Foxlyn did she realize she needed to let go.

Loki's runes: koi. with some fish they look uniform, but with koi you can have uniformity, but koi often have very different patterns. Regardless of the pattern they are all beautiful and tasty for a heron, herons don't discriminate. One could easily see predation as a bad thing, but koi and heron both deserve to eat, one is not better or worse than the other, they just are. Orange and white koi swimming in clear water. Garranus crane watching with one eye. Tricksters fluidity herons fish liminal space emotions deep dark depths of our souls. Liminality.

1. Uruz, strength and good health.
2. Wunjo, joy.
3. Dagaz, new day and potential.

You know what to do. It's going to be difficult, need discipline, let it go, change your patterns and behaviors. Maybe being on social media or certain types of videos on YouTube. Whatever is inciting the wrong type of energy in you, rage for some of you, the rage flowing as fluid flowing down a curvy twisting stream and branches off into different things and subjects, different projects. Pick the one that feeds your soul, not the ones that feeds your anger."

Some people, take a look at what you can do, actually do. Gods say to focus on local city town family. Less focus on what's out there, the sensational rage baiting, meant to distract from what brings us joy. Redirect your anger to something useful, joy, what can make a difference in your life, family, local life. Focus on your health, spirituality, projects and real goals that are in reach. Not goals that are far away or not realistic.

Now is the time to pivot, to examine yourself, ask what truly matters. Rage bait or what is in front of you. Let go of the dead deer, let it return to where it needs to go. Keep checking yourself. Like with addiction, it takes vigilance. Fox returning to den tired and needs to reevaluate. What does the word fluid mean and how can it apply to your life, to change, to get healthier. To create action. Examine what fluid means to each of us. Then drink the fluid now."

Loki emphasized that what's going on in the sensational "news" is all a pissing contest.  Shock and awe.  Distractions from what's really important in your lives.  They're not saying don't care--They're asking what we're going to do about it?  Can we do anything?  Ask yourselves and be honest about what you're willing to sacrifice for change.  If nothing, then just stop feeding the algothrims, the fear and the rage--it's not helping anything and its definitely not helping you.  It's not enough to just feel.  Feel and process, but refocus on what's in front of you--on what you can change.  Accept what you can't or aren't willing to do, and pivot.  

Stopping talking and start doing.  He likens this action-less rage to empty apologies.  What's the point if there's no action behind it?  Again, we're not all meant to be the fighters--there's many parts of the machine, and all have their purpose.  Maybe you're not meant to be out there protesting, maybe you're meant to raise/teach a better generation?  Maybe you're to focus on a different topic, subject, project?  Maybe you're just meant to heal yourself?  Maybe who you are now is enough, is doing enough? 

After the ritual, I still had that divine energy flowing through me.  Loki and Dionysus were still present.  Dionysus continued through the Starman Tarot deck (a David Bowie deck that Dionysus claimed before I bought it):

The 3 of Swords - How many of us are hurt, scared, enraged, grieving, fearful of an uncertain future. Feel your emotions but don't stay there, don't dwell. Process them and refocus on what you can change and affect. This card echoes first omen speaker's draw and Loki's message.

Swords are about our mental health and mental processing.

This a time to check ourselves, stay on ourselves, keep ourselves from slipping into that rage and forgetting what's really important--what's around us, what's local, our families, ourselves--what we can actually affect. They say our magiks are more potent closer to home.

And channeled:

"Some of you will need to be prepared, because the trauma won't always exist on your screens. You'll wish you had the tools and the community to act, instead of obsessing on what's going on far away. We continue to bark because too many refuse to hark--too many choose addiction and sensationalism over what's real and practical, and over what's right in front of you. Imagine if you would, if social media existed hundreds of years ago...would anything progressive get done? Would the great works of art or leaps of science happen? Yet it's here choking your species.

For those who can, act. For others...create.

This isn't to scare, but to inspire and prepare.

Look to people like Dolly."

I would also ask that people ask themselves what create means to them.  Dionysus isn't asking everyone to become an artist.  Create isn't just about art.  Here's the dictionary definition.  Also what is your definition?  What is your experience?  How can you create?

Thank you Loki, Dionysus, and Others.
