My darling Hedy #pugsky

I love this

A personal inquiry but relevant. “What we have been through has transformed us. Our experiences have opened our eyes and enabled us to see more clearly the grief and struggles of others, to bear witness, and to offer a hand where we can.” -Julia Jeffrey @stonemaiden.bsky.social #witchsistertarot

My doghter Hedy with her baby this cold, sunny morn.

The Crocus Fairies by Cicely Mary Barker (1923) 💛💜 Crocus was a mortal boy & friend of the God Hermes During a game of discus Crocus was accidentally killed by Hermes when he stood up without warning As his blood and Hermes tears fell to the Earth the little flowers bearing his name sprang up 💛💜

Loving my listen ❤️

Instead of PBS and other behaviourist approaches, here are some real neurodiversity affirming alternatives from @stimpunks.org stimpunks.org/philosophy/c... stimpunks.org/why/alternat...

Happy ‘Al’-en-tine’s to my Rooster Al rest his soul ❤️

My friend uses my Tarot as part of her full moon ritual batches of herbal/crystal bath salts. The Snow moon message came from the Queen of Pentacles! These are a luxurious treat for yourself and/or your beloveds. You can contact Amber/Sylvia Salts at [email protected] to order. Highly recommend! ❤️

QRP with something watery This is a nature made sand art from the North Carolina coast. Looks like a forest!

‘Cycles’ (final card in #callofthemorriganoracle) Reading for the snow moon: An Morrigan, You urged me onward despite fears, to healing, yet my battles still haunt me- regrets like phantoms- I’m wounded still. May I be cleansed, May I be whole, May I release that which holds me back.

My beautiful, soulful Hedy

I’m Eliza/Esmerlize- Gen X, late-diagnosed autistic, lifelong weirdo and creative navigating my trauma while embracing the crone years. I made a Tarot deck and a podcast (see bio). I recently said goodbye to my beloved card-pecking, Tarot-reading rooster familiar who remains on Instagram… for now.

QRP with your wings #art A few years back I started some tarot drawings with the cups suit and my reimagined bird-like creatures. Here are my faves from the series: the ace, two, five, and eight. I’d love to pick it up again one day. Original art by me- Eliza.

Tonight, Hare would look up to her #SnowMoon contemplating all the new beginnings that were hers for the taking. By morning, this potential would reveal itself, but for now, there was nothing to do but wait; gaze upon the Moon and wait for the magic to start. #MoonGazingHare

The full February ‘Snow’ moon symbolizes purity and renewal. Snow is considered spiritually cleansing and a means of communication with higher realms. View from my backyard in North Carolina. #snowmoon #spiritrealm

I want to introduce my doghter Hedy who stayed by our Rooster AL’s side as he became ill and eventually passed the last day of January. She was such a source of comfort for him. I will be forever grateful to her presence and to continue to learn from her instincts. #animalwisdom #dogdoulas

There must be a divine power in authentic, loving stewardship, in constant gardening. What we nurture not only tells our stories but may reflect the meaning of existence itself: We were put here to care. How beautiful, too, is the uniqueness of care’s expression in each of us. #heartwoodtarot

A crow Valentines Day message: I got you flowers … but I ate them. #crows ❤️ 🪶

Our dad commissioned a local artist to weave his coffin before he died. The artist invited us to her studio to take part in the weaving as a family. It didn't feel morbid. It made his dying feel more familiar. I collected Dad's coffin. Dad sat with it & said it was a thing of beauty. >KV #deathsky

Bittersweet Imbolc Blessings. My little roo, my wise phoenix familiar, gently passed, eyes smiling into mine. Both a gift and a recurring message via Page of Cups to be who my rooster believes me to be: A curious, youthful dreamer. #thechickentarot #callofthemorriganoracle
