Deck: Postcards from the Liminal Space (out of print)
Orienting toward your wildest dreams and wishes (see: the November creativity transmission) means orienting toward self-trust.
Orienting toward self-trust means orienting toward self-belief.
Orienting toward self-belief means orienting toward self-celebration.
Orienting toward self-celebration means
befriending your power
unshaming your desires
validating your gifts
owning your sovereignty
The world around you is speaking to you all the time.
Seriously.
All. The. Time.

When I was younger, I used to lament that my gifts were not as “obvious” as others.
Actually, I didn’t think I had any gifts at all.
People would tell me stories of strange, supernatural, unexplainable, mysterious, paranormal, and psychic experiences.
They would tell me stories of seeing apparitions or hearing voices. Sensing a presence or experiencing all kinds of vivid encounters.
They would speak of these premonitions, sensations, and sensually vivid encounters with the world beyond and I honestly felt…
Jealous.
(To be honest with you, sometimes I still feel jealous when I hear these stories.)
My intuitive gifts simply are not like that.
In fact, I spent so much of my life believing that intuitive gifts had to look or present in such a certain, specific way that for a long time I just didn’t believe I had any at all.
This was a very painful thing to believe.
Things began to shift for me when I realized (accepted, owned, loved, embraced, unshamed) that my gifts present in a less concrete way.
Being less concrete does not make my gifts less powerful.
Without trust though, it does make them easier to dismiss, discount, and disbelieve.
When I realized that the world (both seen and unseen) was communicating with me at all times, my understanding of my gifts was forever altered.
Some of the ways I receive psychic hits and intuitive messages
repeating images or words in the physical world (bumper stickers, license plates, signs, pictures, art)
sudden downloads (or uploads) of information/knowing (often feels really “buzzy”)
animals (birds, insects, bunnies, squirrels, foxes, deer, etc)
repeating concepts on social or other media (Instagram, FB, podcasts, etc)
seemingly “random” images or thoughts
dreams
numbers (the clock, my phone, receipts, gas pumps, house numbers, sales totals, etc)
tarot and oracle cards
my body (sensation)
cosmic bodies (the moon, the sun, shadows, stars, astrology)
water (ocean, river, lakes, ponds, bath, shower, tears)
triggers
sounds (music, podcasts, conversation, bird song, etc)
You see—magic is not just one thing.
It doesn’t look some kind of special way. You don’t need to wear a special outfit or have pretty tools or hear voices or commune with supernatural entities or see UFOs or see spirits with your physical eyes.
“Magic is either everything or it is nothing”
Messages do not just come in one special way (yes, some kinds are more flashy.)
Gifts do not manifest in one special way.
It is true, though, that you can miss things when you’re looking elsewhere. When you’re wondering about someone else’s gifts, someone else’s magic, someone else’s power.
When you look to others for the answers, you might miss your answers.
I say this not to frighten you but to empower you.
Your gifts cannot be gatekept.
You are the only one with the key.
And trusting yourself as the key will open the doors to your wildest dreams.
A Prayer for the Reclamation of Spiritual Autonomy
I am allowed to want.
My want is a compass.
I am allowed to know.
My knowing is a guide.
I am allowed to be curious.
My curiosity is a messenger.
I am allowed to not know.
My not-knowing is a way into the mystery.
I am allowed to wonder.
My wonder is a portal to the sacred.
I am allowed to yearn.
My yearning shows me where to go next.
I am allowed to celebrate.
My celebration opens the door.
I am allowed to dream.
My dreams are also dreaming me.

Until next time.
Stay weird,
Lisa
