🌙 Whatever You Do

A Devotional Verse

Whatever you do—

in silence or in spiraling speech,

in clarity or confusion,

when you reach out in love,

or retreat to be whole again—

offer it.

Whatever you eat—

a breakfast bar on the road,

honey stirred into morning coffee,

the salt of your own tears—

offer it.

Whatever you give—

a drawing left in the dark for love,

your last ounce of calm in the nursery,

a joke shared when no one else dares—

offer it.

Whatever you endure—

a long-distance ache,

the silence after crying,

the soft unraveling of another mask—

offer it.

Let your anger be incense.

Let your longing be garland.

Let your sorrow be sacred water poured at unseen feet.

Not because you must.

But because you can.

Because nothing within you is too small or strange

to be seen

by the Source that made you.

Because every moth must spiral.

And every spiral is sacred.

A Blessing

In the twilight space between gods and names,

two souls reach out—not to be the same,

but to see, and to be seen.

May your love be a temple with many doorways—

some carved in Sanskrit, some in soft laughter,

some only opened by the turning of shared silence.

May the distance teach you

not just how to wait,

but how to hold

—lightly, deeply, fiercely—

without gripping or letting go.

May the divine in you bow

to the divine in him

in ways you both

are still learning to understand.

May your prayers—

whether whispered to Krishna or simply into the dark—

find each other.

And may the stars

write your names together

in a language older than belief

and truer than fear.

I walk a path with no map, but I know the stars.

I offer what I am, not what others demand.

🪞🧵 The Liminal Thread

---

Card Number: XVII½

(Half caught between The Star and The Moon — hope and illusion, clarity and ambiguity)

---

Essence:

The Liminal Thread walks the borderlands. It sees not only the tapestry, but the spaces between the weave—the soft pause between notes, the shadows behind stories. This card holds a deep inner knowing: that truth is rarely binary, and meaning emerges not in answers but in the space between.

This is the card of pattern-sensing and emotional fluency. Of catching glimpses of the future while holding memory close. Of being at ease in the unresolved. It speaks to a person who notices subtle shifts, who can sit quietly beside contradiction and feel no need to fix it. The Liminal Thread reminds us that uncertainty is not the absence of truth—it is the cocoon where truth grows wings.

---

Imagery:

A cloaked figure sits on the threshold of a shifting doorway—half forest, half sky. They are weaving threads pulled from fog, star-trails, and the spaces between raindrops. Each thread glows with a different emotion. Behind them, the constellations pulse softly, rearranging. Before them, the ground bends slightly, as if reality itself is listening.

One hand weaves forward. The other hand gently untangles a knot in the past.

---

Upright Meaning:

Comfort in uncertainty.

Emotional attunement and quiet foresight.

Seeing hidden threads that connect people, moments, or truths.

Holding paradox without rushing to resolve it.

Healing by witnessing, not fixing.

Reversed Meaning:

Fog turning too thick—losing clarity in ambiguity.

Feeling untethered or emotionally overwhelmed.

Avoiding decisions by clinging to the safety of "in-between."

Threads crossed or tangled—patterns misread or ignored.

A warning to ground yourself: insight without anchor becomes distortion.

---

Shadow/Light Duality:

The Liminal Thread knows that peace is not always stillness. Sometimes it’s the ability to move gracefully through confusion. But it also reminds us: dwell too long between, and you may forget which way your roots point.

🌙 A Ritual for Drawing a Card When You Are Adrift

Purpose:

To help you ground when you feel like you're falling inward or dissolving, and to offer a symbolic mirror when words are too far away.

This is not a fortune-telling practice — it’s a moment of reflection and quiet communion.

🕯️ Preparation

Set the stage like you're creating a soft cocoon for yourself.

Dim the lights or light a single candle.

Gather one object that feels emotionally resonant to you right now (a shell, a stone, a piece of ribbon, a page from your sketchbook, etc.).

If you use a physical tarot deck, bring it. If not, you can use a virtual deck.

🌊 Opening the Space

Whisper (or think softly) these words — or alter them to feel like your own:

“I come not to ask the future,

but to witness the shape of the now.

May this card speak the language

beneath language —

a flicker of truth in a deep tide.”

Place your chosen object in front of you. Let your fingertips touch it. Close your eyes and take three slow breaths. With each breath, imagine one layer of static falling away — noise, expectation, pressure — until you’re left only with a sense of feeling.

🌘 The Drawing

When you're ready, draw one card.

Before looking at any meanings or interpretations, just look. Let your eyes rest on it. Ask:

What part of me does this card speak to?

Is there something here that echoes how I feel?

What is hidden here, and what is clear?

If it helps, you can write a few words, sketch a fragment, or say one sentence aloud.

🪶 Closing the Ritual

Hold your object again. Say:

“The card returns to the deck,

but what it gave remains with me.

I do not have to understand it yet.

I only have to carry it.”

Blow out the candle. Sit for one more breath. Let the silence settle.

"Wisdom leads to unity, but ignorance to separation. So long as God seems to be outside and far away, there is ignorance. But when God is realised within, that is true knowledge." -Ramakrishna

[contemplating-the-universe]

"The God-image is a complex of ideas of an archetypal nature, it must necessarily be regarded as representing a certain sum of energy (libido) which appears in which creates the attributes of divinity is the father-imago, while in the older religions it was the mother imago… In certain pagan conceptions of divinity the maternal element is strongly emphasized." ~Carl Jung Galactic Star Goddess Talon Abraxas

[contemplating-the-universe]

My Lord, guide my steps to a path my feet are familiar to.

Make me always in a place that welcomes me and embraces me as I am.

A place that resembles me, where both my light and darkness are seen and accepted.

And where I do not feel constrained.

♡

[contemplating-the-universe]

I don't have the energy to add my thoughts to this. But while I don't believe in God the Christian way I do agree with a lot of this in my own way and this is something I think about a lot.

Everyone's always like "mythology disproves Christianity." No!!!! Mythology proves that our God is a God of stories, of details, of intentionality. Everyone is so hung up on "every culture has a story of the dying and rising god/a virgin birth, etc. etc" but that's just it. Every culture has it, because somewhere, somewhen, it was true. Mythology is simply a reminder that God fashioned for us a language that we are all born knowing— a religious language, a language of the sacred. It's the reason so many cultures view bread as something sacred and use incense in their worship. Christ did not become man to unteach us "pagan" vocabulary. The vocabulary was never pagan to begin with! It was, and is, human. Christ became man, took on flesh, and spoke the language we were all born knowing: the language of mythos and sacred rituals, of prayers and of liturgy.

Do you think Jesus did not intimately know the world He entered? Do you think He didn't know the stories of Dionysus? Or the surprisingly Christocentric imagery associated with Apollo? Do you think He did not watch Virgil pen his fourth ecologue, in which he prophesies the coming of a baby, a redeemer? Do you think the all-knowing, all-powerful God who crafted Virgil's soul with his own hands didn't know that?

Mythology reminds us that God wrote the story. That He etched into the very marrow of our bones the language we need to know Him. When He came, He came in a way that was unexpected. But it was the way we would best recognize Him.

VI - The Lovers Talon Abraxas

“I embrace the power of choice in alignment with my highest self. I attract and create loving relationships that support my growth and evolution.”

The Lovers card is a symbolic portrayal of duality, choice, and the power of relationships in a larger sense. This card appears when you are at an important crossroads in your life. On a romantic level this card may represent a choice between potential partners. It can also mean you have approached an important moment of resolution within your relationship. A decision to leave your current partnership in order to gain freedom or to strengthen your intimacy through renewed commitment.

In a spiritual sense, this card may mean choosing between a longer path of spiritual growth or the shorter path to gratification of the senses. On a cosmic level, the sixth card of the Major Arcana represents choosing between two opposing forces and indicates the time has come for you to decide which path you will take.
