Stubborn Faerie

This time around was a tough one. A long stubborn ugliness is leaving me today. Today another energetic shift leaves me somewhat fearful, but only because I am gaining the inner strength to step into my power and this is a scary thing for me to do.... This trip ended up being a good thing for me. It forced me sit alone and lost in the haunted places of my soul, cuz no one else was around. I am more clear now on many things and feel a sudden change of winds. I am ready to find my way out of the dark forest. There just might be something worth fighting for...

I am finally feeling more at peace and self-assured. Tomorrow I return home; ironically, my guiding goddess today is Vesta, Goddess of fire, home and hearth. (Also known by Hestia, the Greek version of Roman Vesta).

"It is her traits, not her actions, that most define her. The Greek Goddess Hestia is usually defined by description in which she is praised for these virtues: mild, gentle, forgiving, peaceful, serene, dignified, calm, secure, stable, welcoming, and, above all else, well-centered. The circle symbolized Hestia (and her counterpart, the Roman Goddess Vesta) as the "complete" goddess, the goddess who was whole, "one complete within herself". The Greek Goddess Hestia was seen as not only psychologically "centered", but also as representing the center, the center of the home and family, the city, and even the world itself."

I feel renewed, purified and ready to head back home to do what I need to do. Lots of growth these days. LOTS!
