I don't typically do spreads, but do enjoy the House of Triumphs as portrayed in Caitlin Matthew's Untold Tarot. For some reason, this year I've been called down to the principal's office more times than my students...I get in trouble for my kids, instead of, you know, my kids getting in trouble?...kids have thrown me under a bus, twice...I won't bore you with the details/it will only frustrate me. As a pessimist, I'm slowly learning to focus on the good, however little it may be or feel. Boy, I pray there's some kind of Divine lesson in this haha. But what a fun and conversational spread for reflection.

CATHERINE OF SIENA. I bought this battered copy of The Dialogues for the illustrated jacket portrait of Catherine holding a Lily (with the stigmata). I love the expression on her face, she looks ready to give someone (Gregory XI?) a serious lecture. #doctorofthechurch #saint #christianmystic #patronofeurope #theseraphicvirgin #catherineofsiena #womenofthechurch #stigmata #atthesignofthestar #staroftheseabooks
(Mystic) Francis Thompson. The Hound of Heaven, 1935. "I FLED HIM, DOWN THE NIGHTS AND DOWN THE DAYS/I FLED HIM, DOWN THE ARCHES OF THE YEARS" Beautiful copy of Thompson's 182-line Victorian poem about a God who snaps at the heels of a would-be believer. A classic of the Catholic Literary Revival. #catholicbooks #christianmystic #incarnationculture #catholicliteraryrevival #bookstagram #francisthompson #thehoundofheaven #atthesignofthestar #englishspirituality #staroftheseabooks
Just used up the last of our #homegrown onions from this summer... Weren’t they gorgeous though?
-
I’m already dreaming about next summer’s #garden - particularly about #heirloom tomatoes.
-
And my asparagus #harvest, which will be the first time I can pick as much as I like since they were planted from seed three years ago. And my rhubarb will come back! And my tulips! And perhaps I’ll even pick the first-ever peach harvest from the boughs of my peach tree, which I planted as a baby tree only three years ago...
-
Gardening seems to be mostly about waiting and discipline. Watching the seasons change, planting and watering on schedule, weeding, harvesting, processing, the world freezing...then repeat.
-
Coincidentally, writing is the same: you sit down with the pencil/computer and stare down the blank page, then get to work. Then edit, and edit again. And send it away to be evaluated by editors and agents and publishers, and you get to waiting. Then write some more, edit some more, and repeat.
-
What I have learned S L O W L Y - cause nothing slow comes easily to us overachiever types - is that slow is how the heart changes. It’s where your character grows. And it’s also where you meet God.
-
Which means that those ways in which you’re waiting, right now, is not wasted time; in fact, it’s the essential time where the (capital T) True takes root in us. That’s where the magic happens.✨
-
So if you’re waiting today, friend, you’re doing it just right - keep on waiting on.
-
Where in your life are you being forced to slow down and wait? Tell me all about it, my friend!

To rest is to rely on grace rather than effort.
.
Capitolism tells us that our value is equivilant to our productivity, aka how much monetary wealth we gain. Resting is an act of rebellion.
.
Breathe in grace, exhale the need to perform.
Breathe in the goodness of the Ever Present, exhale the stress of being 'inadequte'.
.
I hope this week you rebel & rest. I hope you know and believe you are enough just as you are.

According to ancient text, Mary Magdalene was the highest initiate out of all of the disciples that Jesus initiated into the Christic wisdom. She was an (Ex) High Priestess of the Hathor-Isis Lineage, She was Jesus's Wife and the Mother to his Children. She was holder of the Holy Grail.
.
Mary Magdalene is a significant figure to history because it gives the woman the voice of God, making her equal to her male counterpart. Her teachings have been lost amongst the sands of time. Mary was the female equivalent to Yeshua.
.
Mary Magdalene symbolized the embodied form of the "Sophia". In the early text of Christian Mysticism Sophia was described as the creator of the physical world. The word Sophia means wisdom. When we look to the Gnostic or Christian Mystic tradition, the most beautiful take away was not that Sophia was born automatically with this wisdom but that she attained wisdom by falling from the grace of the one source light to then create incarnated world we know as Earth. She developed wisdom through the persistent devotion to seeing through the illusion of the material world, where she was once again joined together with the Father. Through seeking her own inner light. Sophia's story is a testament to each man and woman's life. That we must first lose ourselves, to come to know ourselves once again. It is a story that tells you "feeling lost or displaced" is a natural part of this world.
.
As her beloved Yeshua chose to ascend and transcend death to be rejoined in spirit with the Father. Mary chose to stay incarnated throughout her many years of life to embody the Christic-Sophia wisdom in secret refuge. To walk the Earth and pass on these teachings to all who were interested in knowing themselves. With her sovereign devotion to her inner light, she became a mystic nomadic teacher of the Christic-Sophia knowledge, of the Solar Logos, the one infinite true self.
.
She is an inspiration to all, to the story of true love. Love of self, love of the beloved and true compassion for all the world.
