new tattoo. reflections on Yule.

It's a but late, but Happy Yule everyone! The wheel turns. This is the darkest time of the year where we give each other the gift of our light, our spark, our joy to one another.

I know it's not what most of the world celebrates, but it's what I celebrate.

Give the gift of you #noncommodity

It's also said that "when the sky is darkest men see the stars" Ralph Waldo Emerson

And I like to think about that.

From a mystic Christian persepective, it's when the saviour of the world is come - or from a more witchy perspective when you meditate on your hopes + dreams and plant your seeds of intention for the new year.

You've been through the heart of fall and said goodbye at samhain to the things that hold you back.

In Yuletime you meditate on what's left - after you let go of what's not needed, you inner spooks and boos after letting them get big at Samhain - what's left? What's your dream?

trading at tarot times with heidi

Yes, I do do trades! But I have some groundrules around it so it doesn't get messy. This is how I do it:

.

1 get a hold of me and tell me you're interested in arranging a trade .

2 offer me what you'd like to trade

3 I'll let you know if I need that, and give you some options if I don't need that thing you offer

4 we banter and talk until we find something that works for both of us

5 the only rule it has to feel like the amount of energy I'm giving you is the same as the amount of energy you're giving me, and we both want what the other is giving, and it would benefit it both of us

6 THEN we book a session & agree on a time

7 when we go i to the session you do the trade part first if I don't know you. If I do know you and there's trust, I could go first and it's ok.

++++

The way it doesn't work is you book an appointment and then text me a few days before hand asking if we could trade, or if you show up with trade economy. It has to be agreed and discussed beforehand.
