Feelings of a Witch
The wind takes hold of my hair and pushes it off to the side. Stray strands wisping in front of my eyes as I stare into the distance. It use to feel peaceful here. Before things started to change. But then again, it seems everyone is feeling the strange trill of change. The electrical pulsing of energy in the air. The tingles that see to jolt up my spine every couple of seconds. Something is coming, and it’s coming fast.

Perfect Summer
June 31 It’s my last summer and it needs to be perfect. I have my bucket list spread out on my bed. Each think with a blank little box at the front. It’s everything I want to do, both the things I love to do and the things I want to do before I die. And the very first thing is to hand in my resignation tomorrow. I’ve always wanted to have an entire summer off again, like when I was a kid. And the only way I can achieve that is if I leave my job. I’m not really looking forward to that one. I love my boss, Amelia. She’s been so good to me over the past few years, especially when my mum passed away. But I have to. I’m sure she’ll understand.

The Man of my Dreams
I settle into bed and try to relax. His arms wrap around me filling me with a warmth I can’t describe. Even his scent is familiar. As if it’s been there forever. I feel myself relax as I let myself rest against him. I feel safe. Like your suppose to when your in love. Like everything can be solved with a hug. But I suppose I’ve always been a hopeless romantic.

Frozen Flight
I feel frozen in time. No longer moving forward or backwards. Everything is frozen in place including myself. But I still feel the panic overwhelming me. It’s threating to spill out. Pop through my chest and run far away from this place. But I can’t move.

My Sister is a Light
Well I have spoken about my own story many times, and how it leaves me uncertain, I have been very careful to leave out deeper insight on my family. And well I won’t be dishing out any secrets or scandals (we aren’t that exciting of a family), I didn’t think I would speak too much about them.

The Sun Card
In my experience with tarot, the sun card is the ultimate yes card. Of course it means a lot more than just it’s positive qualities. But it is a card that I get excited about when I see it in a reading. It just radiates this beautiful energy. It is a card of great happiness, success and abundance. Even in it’s reverse position, it still radiates this glow, it just reminds you that your blocking it and to let go.

Another Crossroad
A huge driving force behind a lot of my uncertainty in life comes to do with stability. Over time I have developed a rather unhealthy fear of not having enough money to survive or to really live the way I want. And I find myself at a huge crossroad of uncertainty.
