Decks: PIXIE Oracle and Visions in the Liminal Space
Today is the last day of November, and today marks the final day of our reflections on our deepest wishes and wildest dreams.
I hope you never stop wishing and dreaming, though.
So in conclusion to the transmissions this month: I actually don’t think it’s hard to wish.
You have hopes and dreams—we all do—you might just be afraid to say them out loud. You might be wary of moving toward them, fearful that your hopes will be dashed, your heart broken.
It doesn’t help that so much of the world tells you that what you dream is impossible, delusional, unattainable, unrealistic, impractical—on and on the list goes, all the ways our fears have been validated by the sharp words conjured by other people’s fears. Until it has become the cauldron of fear we all swim in.
When the voices of others (family, parents, teachers, social “norms”, systems, etc) are louder than your own, it’s only natural that you succumb to your fear.
“Of course they’re right,” you think. “It’s silly to wish. Frivolous to dream.”
It’s so tempting to give up.
The collective dream we are all living in currently makes it so easy to give up on yourself and your true wants and your deepest desires and your wildest longing.
Dream a new dream.
Live into fresh possibilities.
It’s not actually easy to do this. Because our current reality—the world conjured by the limitations of other people’s stilted dreams—is not currently designed for us to do so. In fact, in so many ways, it’s designed to discourage us from ever trying.
Try.
Please.
You may feel like no one cares about your thing. That’s both true and untrue.
Of course, the world won’t stop if you don’t do the thing. It will keep on turning. No one will pester you about your thing. No one will notice if you don’t do your thing.
Only you will notice. (at first)
So yeah, that’s true.
But it is also true that the world needs you to be your most enlivened, realized, enthusiastic, devoted, enchanted self.
Not the world that is but the world we are dreaming and building together.
My point: a lot of your fears are not even your fears.
Let that sink in.
A lot of your fears are not even your fears.
They are inherited fears. Programmed fears. Projected fears. Collective fears.
You get to decide which stories you believe, and which ones you don’t. Which fears you take in and on, and which ones you don’t.
Be your own best advocate.
Believe in yourself—even if no one else does.
Be a safe haven for your wildest dreams.
Protection Spells for Wild Dreamers
✨write down your wildest dreams and place the paper in a bowl of salt.
✨whisper your dreams into a body of water (a puddle, a fountain, a river, a lake, bathwater, a wishing well, a shower stream, your tears, rain, the ocean.) water remembers.
✨meditate on your wishes while holding a crystal (obsidian, black onyx, black tourmaline, smokey quartz, clear quartz) and ask the crystal to keep them safe. place the stone on your windowsill or next to your bed.
✨if you’re struggling with anxious thoughts around your dreams (what if it doesn’t work out, what if I don’t make it, what if I fail, what if I’m rejected, what if I’m embarrassed, what if I’m not good enough, etc) burn some sacred herbs (I really like cedar, rosemary, and lavender.) clear the space, allow the smoke to banish the anxious thoughts.
✨pull some tarot cards about all your hopes and dreams. journal everything that comes up for you. the journal is a safe and sacred place that will hold your wishes safely.
✨in fact: get a journal that is a *just* for your dreams and wishes. in that space, you are free to get as weird, outlandish, unrealistic, and outrageous as possible. go nuts. let loose. and absolutely no words of doubt allowed! (doubts and fears are real and you’ll have them but this specific journal is a place to keep your hopes and dreams safe from all that!)
✨tell a person who believes in you wholeheartedly about your wishes. ask them to help you keep the wishes safe. return the favor if they choose!
✨set boundaries—if you know that certain people are not respectful of your dreams, if they don’t take them seriously, do not gift them with the vulnerability of your dreams. you have nothing to defend, nothing to prove. let them be. keep your dreams safe from the prying eyes and ears of those people. hold your dreams close to your heart when appropriate. breathe life into them.
✨look in the mirror and give yourself a pep talk. share your wildest wishes with your reflection. tell yourself you’ll keep your dreams safe. tell yourself you believe in you and your hopes. tell yourself every single thing you’ve been needing to hear—especially if you’ve been hoping to hear them from someone else. be your own fiercest advocate and protector.
Until next time.
Stay weird,
Lisa
