  • The Memory Machine brought up an old, blurry selfie with Genesis "Gene" The Ball Python. It belonged to my roommate at the time, but we became fast friends, sniffing my nose and face with its tiny little forked tongue, hehehe. So when @devvon_miranda came by for a photo shoot, I couldn't resist taking a few snaps with my reptile buddy, so here's a much better shot, hehehe. Even though in Lenormand and many other traditions the snake is considered an evil omen or symbol, I love the symbolism of the skin shedding process. First, there's the reason of why the snake must shed its skin: scales are rigid and they do not give any room to accomodate the growth that has happened since the previous shed. It is restricted and constrained by its armor, because before they shed their old skin, new skin must grow under it, making it even tighter. Moreover, its eyecaps become cloudy, as the the new eyecaps start forming underneath the old ones, so it's also blind. This is the time when it is the most vulnerable, so it retreats into its dark cave, and scrapes itself against bark, rocks, roots, anything rough it can find, until the old skin finally ruptures, and the snake starts to shimmy out from the old skin, coiling against itself to slip it off. If the environment is moist enough, the old skin will come off all in one piece, smoothly. If the environment is too dry, though, the skin will break and flake off, continuing the snakes discomfort and potential blindness. If it's unable to completely shed its skin, the snake is vulnerable to potentially lethal infections, or permanent blindness if the eyecaps get stuck. A blind snake cannot hunt, so this would be a death sentence, if infection doesn't kill it. This is reminiscent of the process as Shadow work, we retreat into darkness and ourselves so we can break away the old stories that are preventing us from growing. Don't be too hard on yourself if you're unconfortable with the process: it's supposed to be uncomfortable. Growth, evolution and progress are all found outside the Comfort Zone. And let emotions (water) flow during the process to make it smoother. #tarotjen #ballpython #snake #sneksarefrens #snakemedicine
  • When haters try to dim your shine, shine brighter. When they go low, you go high, way high. Souls following their Divinely appointed path will be challenged, more than once. These challenges are not misfortunes, rather, they are blessings in disguise because they show us what we are truly made of, just like increased resistance when training our muscles makes us stronger, if we don't falter in our persistence towards our goals. When I started learning Audra Day's "I'll Rise Up" a couple of weeks ago, my goal was to become more proficient and comfortable at playing the piano. I had no idea how much I would need its medicine this week. I share it here because I get the feeling some of you may need it to. Check out my Facebook page for the full video: http://www.facebook.com/intuitiveinsightstarot And stay tuned for an exciting announcement coming up on April 14th! #inspiration #riseabove #tarotpolymath #piano #anthem #music #amateurpianist #professionalsinger #cover #audraday #illriseup #persistance #perseverance #keepyourheadhigh #nobullies
