Full Moon Oracle Pull
Peace my lovely people, I hope that you are doing well, how was your night? Did you participate in any full moon activities?
I am not normally connected to the moon in the way that others are and the more introspection that I do, the more I realise that other people’s version of moon work is not my own. Going deeper into my own healing, I am also going deeper into my spirituality and what I thought I knew was spirituality was just surface level. I have much work to do!
I recently bought an Oracle deck by Abiola Abrams called African Goddess Rising which centres 44 feminine mystics and I am absolutely in love!
The deck was calling me yesterday and so I explored all the deities and then shuffled the cards and Mama Djombo came out. I read the card before reading the booklet in depth and as you can see, she is a tree, holding two lights with a goat next to her and she is wearing horns similar to the goat.
I instantly thought of the devil which I am not certain of, but I believe to be connected to Capricorn in the tarot deck. The whole card also made me think of Earth signs, which Capricorn is. My view of earth signs is that they are very rooted and can be stubborn at times, but they stick to their word.
The message that has been coming up all week, was speak your truth, stand your ground, stand in your truth; with her holding the lights it was letting me know that you must speak your truths to light the way. I also noticed the jug at her feet and felt a couple of things: it was left there to give offerings to her (watering the roots of the tree which nurishes her to be able to give to the world) but also symbolically that pouring into others with strength and authenticity pours words of love and nourishment into others.
The booklet tells me that she was misconstrued by colonisers and they came up with the term mumbo jumbo meaning gibberish, but she still stands tall and shines her light vastly. This further empowers me and makes me rooted in my opinion that colonisers and their offspring can never validate me or tell me who I am.
It goes onto to say that it is important to share you story because someone needs to hear it; fear of rejection, criticism and judgement stops you from being you and it was a message I desperatly needed to hear!
I need to stop worrying about the decline of my mental health when people trigger me, it is a part of the journey to recovery. I am much more powerful than I used to be, I am wise, intelligent and kind and I am limiting myself by worrying about “whataboutisms” and if my mental health declines, so be it. It is time for me to rest and leave the burdens of the world alone. I need to pour into me and ride the wave of depression because I will make it out on the other side, I am divinely protected and guided and spirit has me even when it doesn’t feel like it.
I felt so called to share this message with you and I hope that if it resonates that you feel empowered to speak your truth. You are loved, you are needed in this world, I love you, spirit loves you.
Everything I do, I do for our ancestors who did everything for us, for I am them and they are me, I hope you have a lovely week as we approach winter solstice and you use this time to REST, receive and give love abundantly, the world absolutely needs it. Peace beautiful people.
