Love and Dreams

Sun trine Neptune

If you glance down and find yourself wearing a pair of ruby slippers (figuratively speaking, at least) don’t be disturbed. Only by clicking your heels together three times can your dreams come true.

Perhaps this aspect in the heavens explains the dreaminess I have been feeling. I have been catching myself staring into space at nothing quite often lately. It’s as if I am trying to part the veil of the mystery around me, to see the truth that lies beneath it. I have been dreaming while awake, while my sleeping dreams have been vague and quiet. If I had the magick slippers right now I would use them to reveal the mystery of love to me, to strengthen my connection to the universal love that is always all around us. For now I am connecting to the world of nature to find more of that love.

Yesterday I took a walk through the oak woods near a river and got reconnected to the sacred waters that flow through the land near my house. I sat on a rock in the middle of the stream and watched the water flowing over rocks and plunging into a stream making bubbles and foam rise to the surface. I thought about Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, and how in her myths she retires to a magickal pool to replenish her virginity. I realized yesterday that this virginity is a euphemism for coming back to wholeness and freedom and self love. That even the Goddess needs to come back into solitude and tend to her self care to support her work in the world of alchemically loving so many. In the foam floating on the surface of the stream, I seemed to see her being reborn, as She was originally born from the foam on the ocean. After my time by the stream I felt renewed and refreshed, even though I had only cleansed my chakras in the water, rather than immersing my whole body. I rested sweetly in the remembering that all of nature is sacred, alive, and filled with lessons for me to learn, if I am willing to listen.
