The Violet Duchess

The other day - at the Elsecar BSSSK Mind Body Spirit Fair - I bought Lucy Cavandish's Oracle of Shadows and Light. Tonight, after returning home with my Ma and Pa I picked the Violet Duchess card. This card talks about frustration and stifled emotions, being stuck and compliant and not true to one self, being a goody two shoes - which I have been one way or another for most of my life - and how when the true nature, our true energy, turns inwards it can cause harm. It marks a moment of honesty, an impending explosion, a revelation! It marks a moment of honesty and truth!! In my line of work maintaining professional decorum is essential, be patient with clients and students, being polite, listening - even when you don't want to, even when all you want to do is scream, or sleep, or run away! Looking after my elderly parents has also required patience, patience which sometimes, to my shame, I have lacked! But lately, whether it's with clients or my folks - or come to that pretty much anyone - my patience and tolerance levels have been way low!

This is not uncommon, many people experience it, particularly lately and some say it is because the Earth, who has always been happy to receive our negative energy and transmute it, is no longer so and is returning it back to us, making us take responsibility for it and deal with it ourselves! I'm not so sure but what is clear to me is that there is a powerful pursuance taking place, a clearing out of our anger, pain and frustration from ages past which is leaving us all at times crabby and emotional.

The guides say Flower Essences can help, the guides say use meditation to release stress and remind us that we expend more energy holding onto stuff that we do letting go of it. The guides say acknowledge it and own it but don't beat our selves up about it. Rather be inspired by it to be better, the guides say we are only human and frustration is natural at this moment in time. The guides say, and this is important, don't take it out on others but accept it and deal with it ourselves.

Easier said than done, but worth the effort I think!

  1. Thank you Ed for sharing this. So much true for me as well during the whole last year, but now it seems to be fading away. It is very important not to act on the anger and/or frustration that rises within us. Just observe it, and slowly-slwoly it will fade away. Not an easy or comfortable procedure, I must agree, but as you say, we are humans after all! (or before all?)
