Protection

 Today I chose the 9th card after shuffling Seasons of the Witch Samhain Oracle, Number 29, Protection was the card.

There are always things in this world… and the other, to frighten us, make us feel uncomfortable, cause us anxiety. It is, after all, a frightening and cruel world. However, as witches, healers, and just women in the mundane world, we’ve experienced our share of this throughout our lives. 

As this card informs, despite all of that, we are protected. Within us is a place we can retreat to, a place to heal, find comfort, be restored. In this place, we cannot be harmed or shaken. We are well armored, we just don’t always remember it.

This card reminds us that we need only retreat to this space and step through the veil into the arms of our Ancestors and guides, those who love us.We need only to remember They are there and speak to Them, ask for there guidance and support. We have the power and Their additional assistance whenever we need it.

Once we know our own power and that of our Ancestors, really know, we will know protection is there. We must see the world and our lives as they are, warts and all, yet find the blessings and strengths. And there are more strengths in us than anything else. Stand strong, wild, and knowing. We are protected.

Blessings dark and deep.
