More on Signs and Wonders

I published a blog in early June about how the Divine Feminine speaks to me and how I have been led by Her to Her over the course of many years. This week I received a series of very clear messages from Her. All I had to do was to listen.

I have taken on a new and somewhat daunting volunteer job with a children’s advocacy center. While I am thrilled and excited about doing this work, I find that it is taking a lot of time away from the spiritual practices that I developed during the Covid lockdowns. Because of the time crunch, I have been contemplating ending my blog. Yesterday, when I got the bill for the upcoming year of hosting the website, the domain name, and all the things that it takes to publish my site, I was thinking that, in addition to taking up a lot of time, it was becoming too expensive. It was one more reason to let it go.

However, over the weekend I received a request from my spiritual director to use one of my poems in a workshop led by chaplains. On Wednesday there was an email in my inbox from one of my readers, a thoughtful commentary on the blog that I wrote about closure. I seldom receive feedback on my blogs. I am called to write them and let them go, to find their way to the folks that need to read them. That commentary was a delightful and encouraging surprise.

In my meditation yesterday I drew the Goddess card of the High Priestess. The message of that card is to be the bridge from the Goddess to the world. It was a reminder to listen to the innate wisdom of the Divine within and to share that wisdom with the world. Then I drew the raccoon from my animal spirit deck. That card said, “Decide what you really want. You have the ingenuity to claim it.” This morning I drew Eve, “who is the embodiment of primal, female, creative energy.” My animal card was penguin, whose message is to be my authentic self.  

All these things, both separately and collectively, point me to continue to write this blog. These are clear signs that speak directly to the decision I am trying to make. My task is to listen to the messages and to trust that I am on the right path for me.

I have an inner knowing, an innate sense of the direction that I need to take. But I don’t always listen to that inner voice. I need something clearer to point me in the right direction because I don’t always trust myself. Over the years, I have learned to trust those signs that come to me, and the more that I trust them, the clearer they become. The more I pay attention and trust those messages, the more I can trust my own inner compass to lead me to what is right for me.

The Divine Feminine continues to call me to write. After writing a blog, I don’t usually recognize the words as my own. I am given the subject and the words to write. I send those words out into the ether, but I have no idea if they resonate with anyone or not. It is an act of faith that whoever needs to hear will hear. I answer the call by writing. The universe does everything else.
