I'm honestly not sure if this reading is just for me or whether it has something for all of us. You tell me ...
I was fiddling around with my wee tiny oracle things, tossing them and making choices about what stays and what goes in the oracle. I finally lay down my spread cloth, dragon up, and asked whether there was anything our little group needs to know.
This is the message I got FOR ME, and I find myself wondering if, instead of giving me a group reading, the point is for each of us to read this one for themselves. So, if you're game, take a look and see if it says anything to you as well.
My first thought was, "my heart is in my throat, I've a goat in my heart, and a bottle up my ass." LOL
I feel that this refers to the many inner shifts that are happening to me. I'm putting myself out there more, taking on the crone mantle and accepting that I'm no longer just learning (although I'll be learning all my life) now I'm also giving back, teaching, that I have something to offer the world in a variety of realms.
The heart in my throat is interesting. I feel it speaks to my speaking my heart more often. Allowing myself to communicate my truth, even when it feels risky to do so. It also speaks to the discomfort, that lump-in-throat feeling when we allow emotions to be felt. That feeling just before tears, and then the opening that allows the tears to flow. I'm now allowing those feelings. I allow myself to weep at tv shows, where before I'd have stifled it as silliness. I'm more open, more feeling, more genuine.
The ram in my heart is also interesting, because I often feel insecure about putting certain things out there. The ram seems to speak to the "putting it out there", the offensive rather than defensive posture, the willingness to fight for my beliefs and the right to express them.
The bottle I immediately saw as fuel. That I'm feeling stronger, both physically and emotionally. That I'm getting the fuel I need to be out there in the world, to be productive, to grow into the new me and to have the stamina not to back down into a retreat position.
Off the shore and to the left is a bead that looks like its from South America. I'm reminded of my travels in my younger years, to Guatamala to study the Mayans, to Ecuador on my way to the Galapagos, and several of my dive trips. Perhaps travel is coming into my life again. Or perhaps it's indicating learnings from those times that are coming into consciousness again.
And last, but not least, a tiny, itty-bitty shell is way up on the top edge of the cloth. I wonder if this is the part of me who no longer has to put up shells around my beliefs, my core, my wholeness. That I've left behind a part of the castle walls, and am allowing more of myself to shine forth.
I'm a little puzzled by the timing of the two items in the ocean. In my last reading things in the ocean indicated upcoming things. In this reading they seem to be things left behind as I (the dragon) swim onto the shore. The more I think about it the more I feel that they're past items in this particular reading, but their presence indicates that their learnings are important at this time.
Please let me know if this reading has any messages for you too.
