The Color Changer
brooding and dark it waits on the aged wood palette for the knife to cut through it
knowing it’s hue will weaken with the addition of insurgent colors
trying to change it
they flank on either side waiting for their opportunity
to blend
it roars back, mocking their attempts to force it into compliance
to be something
it’s not meant to be
it twists and turns with every swipe of the knife
they must never succeed
It will not relinquish its soul
The color changer gives up
And sets the palette knife down in the weary puddle of Prussian Blue

Affection and Healing for Yourself
During the night of the last quarter moon, I gathered my ritual supplies. I carefully handled the chunk of black tourmaline that would protect me from your overall negative and narcissistic energy. I carefully walked the house with my stick of selenite in hand, asking the universe to cleanse our working space.
