MAY- THE UNRAVELLING

News and deep confessions - Reflecting on the month passed.

May was a month of walking between worlds in all ways. Half of me is here in what is, and the other half of me is in what is to come. It is often like this; however, never has it been more prominent than it is in my year five. The palpable being my up-and-coming book, which is very much reflective on the past and all the lessons I have learnt and yet with one eye on the fast-approaching publish date, the other is preparing for an even bigger unfolding. One, if I’m honest, feels a little daunting.

You see, for someone who is always encouraging others not to hold back, to share their wildest thoughts and visions, I’m not sure I have been doing the same. And now in this five energy, I am being given a choice. (It’s not a choice really, I think I would just like to pretend it is for a while longer). The choice is to sit here in the comfort, slipping in and out of realms quietly, only sharing with my close friends and colleagues. Or I begin to take you with me.

The very thought of this brings a collision of emotions, which for me is a clear sign that it is the next step forward. Which confirms for me that waiting until after the book has been published to go fully wild with you all seems like a very poor delay tactic. This realisation came to me in the car half way up the country, according to my husband there was alot of sighing coming from my side of the car as I juggled the concept of how I was going to keep showing up online and be true to not only who I was, and am, but also who I am becoming. Then today, the incredible Jo Gifford reminded me that I am ‘Charlie F**king Edwards’ and I can do whatever I like. It might feel uncomfortable to witness, and I’ll remind you that it possibly feels a little more uncomfortable from this side of the laptop. However, we are at that halfway point of a liminal story, and the second half is going to get far more exciting than the first half, where we did a lot of scene setting.

I’d love to have this big announcement here in this email for a course or a huge online event. But I don’t, not just yet anyway. I suppose it’s more of a declaration of sorts, that you’ll see more weird behind the scenes in my stories, and I’ll be sharing from a place within that spirit has been asking me to share from for a long time. (deep breaths and sighs of relief all round)

WHAT’S BEEN PULLING ME THROUGH - Adventures & Nesting- it's all part of the journey.

May brought me Northumberland adventures. A land that is steeped in magickal mysteries - None of which are mine to share. However, I will say it was a pleasure and an honour that I do not take lightly to be permitted to explore and tune into such a special place.

Returning from our longest holiday since relocating left me feeling a little out of sorts. Integration was a gentle process and one I could only seem to get through by going back to basics. Cooking, cleaning, and snuggling down early with a book and a heavy blanket. You know the drill, those slow days that the world tells us are keeping us in a cage. Well, for me, this month they were exactly what was needed. Plus, you know that the mundane creates space for new ideas to drop in. And they certainly did drop in by the dozen. But we will talk about that over the next few months.

This month’s topic hit me directly between the eyes whilst on the beach last week - it’s the topic of words. Love ‘em or hate ‘em - they are powerful tools. But what got me thinking were the words that we need to reclaim. The words that make us itch a little because their true meaning has been remoulded or tainted over time by the voices and tone of others. Firstly, like the word..Gridkeeper or Weaver.. words I have had to get comfortable with and quickly.
