At the beginning of 2021
during the cold dark months of winter,
my thought process around the pandemic
was that it would be a 2-5 year experience.
My thinking was that
we were going to go through
a cultural death lodge,
an experiance for humanity
to go through a time of collapse
so we could rebuild
into something more sustainable.
In my thinking of a 2-5 year timeframe,
my current way of living in isolation
seemed doable. However,
as the year moved on
through spring and summer,
my thinking started to shift.
In one of my conversations with spirit
about this 2-5 year timeline
she chuckled and said:
"You silly girl! When you did your
underworld death lodge process,
it was eight years...
and that was just for one person!
This experience you’re in now
is a cultural death lodge,
and not just one culture
but many cultures and systems
around the globe.
This is a big portal crossing for humanity,
and it is going to be taking place
for the rest of your life!!!"
This message shifted
so many things in my mind.
It made me realize
my ways of surviving
a 2-5 year process
was not going to be sustainable
for me to live the rest of my life,
which might be another 20 years.
It was then I realized I needed to adjust
my thinking and ways of being
to accommodate a larger truth
for my now time and future...
a future that looks very different
then it did a couple years ago.
This is what led me to name
this next phase of my life
as “The End of Days Time”.
The good ol' days are behind me.
The visions I had for my future
and my elder years has changed.
The days of humanity's adolescence
are coming to an end.
We are moving into a time of twilight,
a deepening into the dark,
a shape shifting time
that obscures and mystifies
our way of seeing.
I envision the movie "Mad Max Thunderdome"
and ask myself: How do I want to show
up in this landscape of collapse?
What character do I want to enliven
within me and in the world
during these End of Days Time?
Our systems need to collapse.
Our education, health & medical,
political & government
and food supply chains,
all these systems
need to be broken apart
and rebuilt.
These structures have been operating
from a patho-adolescent center of gravity.
Their out-dated effects are now obvious.
It's time for the collapse of these structures
so a new era can be built,
hopefully one that is more sustainable
and aligned for a healthy ecosystem,
which includes more than just humans.
As these ideas formulated in my mind,
I knew I needed to enact
a Rites of Passage event
to initiate myself
into this new era of being.
And so, I am setting off
on a Wild Soul Wanderings adventure.
On this trip I want to attune myself
to how I can best be of service
to the demise
of outdated structures and ways of being,
both externally and internally.
I also want to remain open
to guidance on what seeds of light
I can plant along the way
to lay a foundation
for the new world era
we will be crafting
over the next several decades.
To support my process of initiation
into "The End of Days Time"
I'll be exploring the following
Archetypal Arch on my
Rites of Passage adventure:
The Tower
Death
Hanged Man
Hierophant
Temperance
The Star
Each of these archetypal forces
is part of the Hero’s Journey
and are core guides found in Tarot.
Each of these archetypal forces
offers profound wisdom
for these times of collapse
and for our hopes
for a more vital future.
I look forward to exploring these forces
in more detail and sharing more with you
in future blogs
as inspirations & guidance comes through.
