Psyche Entering Cupid’s Garden (1905, John William Waterhouse)
This lovely snippet arrived in my email box yesterday, thanks to J.R.R. Tolkien and Elaine at Blue Moon Astrology.
Tolkien’s musing is perfectly aligned with the watery essence of the Piscean-Neptunian new moon and other imaginative, dream-visiony, experimentation-friendly energies of now.
“Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.”
— J. R. R. Tolkien, a song snippet from Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, on the way to the Grey Havens)
What new roads, secret gates, hidden paths, or tucked-away (or inner) gardens are calling for exploration?
Now is a very fine time to experiment and evoke your Holy Muses — to let the imagination wander, and make attentive space for heartful, soulful visions and inspirations to arise and receive the ‘miracle-grow’ fertilizer of our attention and energy.
For related Muse-ful inspirations, dip your toes into these related Sophia’s Children posts:
Jamie has long been an inspiration partner and lantern-holder for her fellow transformation leaders, change catalysts, and creative nonconformists who are living, inspiring, and (intentionally or not) leading the way in these chaotic times.
When she's not tending and stirring the Sophia's Children cauldron, she's following research trails, and serving as the Director of a Repro-Justice-oriented women's health center in her community, co-creating a safe, in-person compassionate care environment in a world that increasingly seems to lack that.
Jamie is a long-time servant of the Muse, a writer and author, an intrepid walker and feline-tender, and is passionate about the healing power and relevance of reclaiming ancestral-wisdom and healing (or at least understanding) ancestral (and other types of) trauma. She has great appreciation for dark chocolate and cooking other nourishing, delicious meals -- often plant-based -- to nourish her partner and her peeps, and otherwise doing the same day to day things we all do.
