The Selection: Communion with the Mother
The tension pressing down on the teenagers in the room was palpable. They swallowed nervously against the maroon striped ties at their throats, some hid their clammy hands deep into their lint-filled pockets, and some recited a calming incantation to keep their emotions in check.

The Sun was the source of everything, it gave us hope, as well as success and freedom. The freedom of a healthy life sure, the Sun also gives us a healthy life with Vitamin D.

Keeper of the Rains
Hempen twine secured Ying’s stiff, black hair out of her face in a high bun while she leaned over a steaming basin, waiting for the boiling water to soften white cocoons for the long task of unraveling. Her best friend, Li, had complained, when he’d seen her set up shop, that she should be wearing silk, not making it. But none of the Teikao’i had worn the precious fabric since the Conquest ten years prior. Now silk, like jade, was sent as tribute through the world-puddle to Tlalli in exchange for the sparse rains the Tlallish gods cast off like table scraps.

It was dangerous to stay out this late in the Gehenna Preserve, but she hadn’t gotten her fix yet.

The Woods
It was when the darkness fell from the sky to bathe the earth in its icy black touch that Steven yearned to go out and play. It was during the night that the things which lay hidden by day were free to roam the woods behind the house. Steven would watch from his bedroom window overlooking the yard, his darting eyes scanning the small shrubs and bushes, and finally the trees and thick undergrowth that was home to wondrous and magical things. Creatures only glimpsed in fairy tales and folklore, dismissed by adults as creative imagination.

“Mundane Magic” Clairaudience. The universe, source, God whatever you’d like to call it, Speaks to us constantly. It doesn’t speak the same language though, our signs are usually in nature, or thoughts in your head, a gut feeling, goosebumps, the chills down your spine & so very often your ears ringing. It’s completely up to you to pay attention to how you feel when doing things or being with people, the universe can show you you’re not aligned with this person or this act. First things first, identifying these things is hard to even pick up on and when you do pick up on it often times you soon forget, so get yourself a journal bring it with you everywhere you go jot down little things. For instance you have a feeling not to take the usual way to work today and then hearing about a large accident and delays on that route write it down with a date reference it later when you see it all compiled together the evidence is insurmountable
