Into the Wild Unknown We Go!!

{via The Wild Unknown Tarot by Kim Krans, 2016}

(a) Son of Cups -- ARTISTIC | INTROSPECTIVE
Like all of the cups family, the son truly excels within the arts. He's usually a musician or a visual artist of some kind, and he finds success within his field.  His natural tendency to look inward adds to his charm and mystique. To others he may seem secretive and even peaceful, while deep inside he carries a dark kernal of intensity.

(b) DEATH -- CLOSURE | TRANSFORMATION
No one loves the sight of the Death card in a reading. We spend most of our lives denying death altogether...so when this card appears, it's easy to get frightened or think it's "bad".  Don't let the drama distract you from the message: something in your life needs to end.  It needs closure.  This will happen voluntarily or involuntarily.  Either way, you will feel a positive transformation begin after the initial forms of suffering have passed.  

(c) Daughter of Pentacles -- RESPONSIBLE | KIND | SUPPORTIVE
You'll usually find the Daught of Pentacles behind the scenes rather than out in the spotlight. Though quite shy, she's extremely hardworking and responsible. She handles details and logistics well -- people depend on her. She has vast amounts of inner strength. Like all of the Pentacles family, the Daughter thrives when in nature.

(d) The Chariot -- STRONG WILL | TRIUMPH
The Chariot is your confidence, your will, and your inner warrior. At points in your life when you felt the bliss of achievement or triumph, you were riding on his back. Build a relationship with this part of yourself. Try to "see" the chariot inside you. The more focused your mind, the easier it will be to sense his presence and stay mounted on his back. With a fixed gaze and sure footing, you'll be headed toward all you dream of.

Exploring (Y)Our Make-A-Wish-Foundation

Thru (hand) writing (head-hand-coordination, known as the practice of inscription, remains to be the precise practice of inner-healing and therapeutic touch-ups).  Also known as the first act of manifestation -- as your pencil touches the paper, wishes become grounded (anchored) into this dimension.  What will it feel like when your wishes are granted?  By visualizing such 'being', one's emotional-grid (energies in motion) begins to make space for such actualization.  Sit quietly (often).  Prime your receptors to alert you to the clue/cues as they arrive.

EQ Therapeutic: Dear Diary 3/3/2020

It is not our enemies that defeat us, it is our fears.

Dear Diary,

It's Tuesday, March 3rd 2020 -- I'am inside a portal with a Uroboros over the threshold. I've gathered plenty of valuable references to adorn my forward-movments: complementary&complimentary; as it's all about one's quality of Imagineering, daring to hope for that which is not yet seen, and the enormous opportunities that rest within one's realms of R&R (rest, relaxation, restoration, rejuvenation, respectful reciprocity, revitalizing recipes).

Julie&Julia is a love-letter inside a film, based upon the book of the same title by Julie Powell. It's an opportunity to experience (genuine) young-love, unique maturity-continuum, serendipitous synchronicity, and mystical, successive wisdom-building (aka lifelong learning).

Yesterday I took my very first step toward an extra-ordinary item upon my Bucket List: learning to fluently speak  French. At the present, I'am completely and utterly intimidated. So, as I prepare to meet&greet the threshold of my early 50s (in two years) -- this incredible feat carries the weight of Julia Child learning and bringing French cuisine to the American public, and Julie Powell tackling a mountain of Julia Child signature'd recipes (524 to be exact) and striving to write and publish her experiences. Both whom refused to stop striving until they faced-off with the version of their 'future-self' that danced like sugar-plums (or haunted like sorrows) inside the corridor between their head-and-heart. So-much-so, I often wonder how/when their ultimate-version initially revealed itself to offer the invitation (the silent call to venture into The Wild Unknown).

When one gets the invitation to journey into The Wild Unknown -- is it promised that there shall be no complications, life altering challenges, mis-takes, and or mistakes? Shucks, the way I see it, to accept such a seemingly precarious invitation pretty much guarantees a signature-cocktail of heart-breaks, insecurity-triggers, shadows of doubt, emotional roller coasters, and varying degrees of darkened, silent, solo missions. Mostly as if Destiny refuses to relinquish any one's fortunes of 'future self' without vetting and validating one's worthiness and durability. 

I'd be remiss if I didn't quote my most-favorite passage (in the form of a blog post) in the Film -- I've been thinking about me and Julia, she was a secretary for a government agency, and I'am too. A really nice guy married her, a really nice guy married me. Both of us were lost, and both of us was saved by food in some way or another -- so major overlap, but let's face it, I'am not Julia Child. Julia Child never lost her temper just because something boiled over, or collapsed in the over, or just plain fell through. And she was never horrible to her husband, I'am sure, and she never behaved like, "Who has time to be married", which is how I behave sometimes I'am sorry to say. I wish I were more like her. She deserved her husband and I don't. That's the truth. Well anyway, that's the truth for now...

Upon so many levels I've identified with this passage, and upon other I do not. Food plus many other things, like writing, communing within my Imagination, and hosting intriguing conversations with young-folk saves me. And even though I no longer have a husband, I haven't lost my familiarity with the elemental(s) of the experience. And since having crossed the threshold into The Wild Unknown -- it's been a long while since I've felt overwhelmingly secure; socially. My truth is -- I deserve to be more like the 'future me'. I deserve to continue gathering the experiences that master my therapeutic-relations with words-in-print, an array of the arts, indie-music, and creative-cuisine -- alongside the cultivation, reconciliation, preservation, and initiation of relationships with those I'am destined to support, affirm, teach with, learn from, and sponsor.

To celebrate her accomplishment of completing all 524 recipes and for not prematurely losing faith in herself -- Julie invited friends over to experience the very last dish on the list. And, she made a very special toast to her husband, "You are the butter to my bread; the breath to my life."  Of course, those that intimately understand the power-of-couples know, to bear witness to such a heart-felt testament is tear-jerking! I look forward to rendering a similar toast, but in honor of my (finally) meeting the future version of Me. Because surely, I'd never want to be confronted by it one day, solemnly expressing, "You don't even know that I exist".

Happy Saturn's Day!

I've just added another epic Storyville selection to the Capstone Coaching Story Gallery. "Deal with the Devil" by Evangeline Anderson (narrated by Mackenzie Cartwright). The quality of this storyville- experience moved me like my early hay-days of erotica fiction!  It's been a long (long) while since I've encountered such a well balanced, magically delicious romance in a fiction-read. And the narration by Mackenzie Cartwright (one of my absolute favorites!) made this story vividly come-to-life and engage ALL my senses. 

To be free to compose such a piece of written-expression of love, romance, intrigue, intuitive-detailing, conflict resolution, and tribal unity -- I can only imagine the emotional and intellectual successions that would/could accompany such accomplishment!

There's a certain level of intuitive-study that a writer/author/composer/creative must embrace to experience Oneness with its creations/productions. Especially those that are compelled to create thru story, music/song, and center-stage play. Being a hopeless romantic, for most of my life, I often get caught-up in my imaginary realms; wishing just an ounce of it would transcend my reality. And, as I get closer to looking age 50 in-the-face, I can't help but be grateful for the genuine love-affairs and romantic-intelligence(s) I've been adorned -- and regardless of jumpstart, outcome, or any circumstances in between, much was learned and all was intra-personally valuable. It's also worth mentioning that had I not followed my own instincts, vs. the opinions of others, I wouldn't have experienced even half of all that I did. 

The turbulent jumpstart to the incredible romance between Luz Velez and Jude Jacobson has left an impression upon me that I'am sure will extend beyond my golden years! Mainly, because of how I sent out an intuitive-request for a 'good' story experience and in just a few days I bump into "Deal with the Devil".  I honestly wasn't looking for an erotica fiction, but I did desire mystical, magical, and mysterious. I got all of that and so much, much more!  I love when the romantic-main characters come to each other flawed and their acceptance, affirming natures, and honest transparency make all sorts of leaps beyond the odds stacked against them. Now, if you're not into explicit language and high-end sexual content, this IS NOT the read for you.  But if you are...then Hunny, treat-yourself!

With this in mind, I'd been toggling with the collective natures of the Ten-of-Cups and the Ten-of-Pentacles. Heavy contemplation has been offering me various scenarios surrounding the powers of this optimal co-joining. So earlier today I got the notion to pull cards to see if any post-story messaging was available. Above is the photo of the spread. Very intriguing! So-much-so, that if you are familiar with Tarot and the featured Story -- please do contemplate for yourself.  If not, no worries, I plan to follow-up with a Capstone session that I'll host on YouTube (so stay tuned).

In the meantime, if you'd like to experience the mystic love-language of this erotic fantasy -- here's the link to the audio-book version. #EQMorphism

EQ Therapeutic: How I May Serve You?

"The moon in Leo reminds us to be present with those around us, to LEARN FROM THEIR STORIES and to know that we are all vessels of a larger, more effulgent creatrix.  As such, the Leo moon says, let us reflect back to the universe {OmniVerse} the sparkle that she so abundantly provides without complaint or strain. Even if it is imperfect. Even if we know that it must be imperfect. Let us not strain. Let us be glitter {Pixie Charm'd}." ~Emmalea Russo

STORYVILLE (a1): {as your coaching-tour guide into The Wild Unknown}-- Somewhere in there laughter is therapeutic. Somewhere in there music/dance is the perfect prescription. Somewhere in there the craft/composition of one's own Story serves as sacred alchemy. Somewhere in there is the intellectual-seeds of one's legacy-foundation(s). Somewhere in there may reside the attraction to mystical/magical scholarship. Somewhere in there is the cornerstone that the 'main-stream' builders rejected (continued time/attention to re-shaping shall make it the capstone!). Somewhere in there is the past, present, and future's maturity-continuum that overflows a cornucopia of advanced creativity and unique combinations of Mind, Body, and Soul. Somewhere in there is the study of S.E.L.F. (Sacred/Sankofa Energy Life Force). Somewhere in there is the exploration of one's art, crafts, vocation as source of unconventional, customized therapy/inner-healing. Somewhere is the golden-compass to identify all of the above. Somewhere in there is the permission granted to take the first step into one's own Wild Unknown.

*************************************

STORYVILLE(a1): I've been in knee-deep study for nearly two-weeks. Amerigo Gazaway's "The Miseducation of Eunice Waymon" mix-tape project is the Absolute! It's been the perfect 'thread' for me to stitch together my dedications to Historical Blackness. This series of dedications are as well in-conj. with my efforts to heal my whole(some)ness, and, dismantle various social-conditioning(s) and trendy-traditions. Celebratory-arrangement is another component upon the drawing-board. Because of this, I'am constantly going back-to-the-drawing-board. Which is not a bad-thing of course. Quite the quintessential-quest if I may be honest. I have, fortunately, survived my first complementary-journey into my own Wild Unknown (from the Fool to the The World) -- with the following Songverastion as my state-of-the-union address! {Listen to Track 01 -- Feeling Good/via YouTube 00:00}

{Listen to Track 07 -- Take It Easy/via YouTube 31:00}
The path(s) leading to my upcoming director-debut is being supported by Ava DuVernay's mission to be-in-service-to-the-Story. And, for the record, Story is a multi-dimensional, multi-faceted phenomena -- so figuring it only has 3-sides is truly a mis-use of S.E.L.F. education and sheer kryptonite to one's curiosity. My creative-focus has always been about the powers of Narrative and its historic/present/futuristic shapes, designs and contours -- eloquently depicting varying levels of life, liberty, and the pursuits of a balanced-blend of beauty, bliss, and blessing. With this, I started re-arranging the way I celebrated my People, Places & Things. My studies have allotted me the permission to create alongside my unique curiosities of story authorship and narrative architecture. And since Story still stands as the divine-keepsake for a cornucopia of Ancient mystics, magicks of love, language, and lesson -- I began asking myself how I would define and celebrate certain 'holidays' and 'seasonal acknowledgements'. The insight to re-form my intentions, re-direct my energies, and shift my attention/focus to honor those of my (A+) alikeness.  Thus, I've re-shaped how I honor February as my month of Historical Blackness. I honor the creative/life's works by those I'AM identified, discovered, and authentically-expressed. #ServiceTheStory

The blooming New Jim Crow is a (solid) generational-evolution of societal-commerce which continues to exist without catalystic-conflict! Why? The mis-education of Mahogany Cultural Affinity has yet to have its cup overflow -- why?  Love-letters and emotional-therapy (which is incredibly different from psychological-therapy) is damn-near a full-blown extinction! Why? This quality of inquiry is leading me into the corners of the Wild Unknown (resulting in a signature-lecture I'll be presenting over the summer - hopefully the opportunity will arrive for you to share-a-moment with me).  In the meantime, please tap-into The Miseducation of Eunice Waymon mixtape. Gather your thoughts whilst fine-tuning your S.E.L.F. based scholarship. Utilize your creative-hunches.

EQ Therapeutic: Vows-of-Matrimony

iNTRA-Inquiry by CoachTC

{click image to enlarge}

{via The Wild Unknown Tarot by Kim Krans, 2016}

What's what:

 Why do we eagerly/tirelessly take-up vows (of any form of sacred dedication) with a "spouse", but not with S.E.L.F., child, or parent???

With this inquiry, I offer the following invitation-to-contemplate.
VOWS-OF-MUSE-MATRIMONY

(which can be taken for the sake of S.E.L.F., Sibling(s), Child(ren), or Parent(s))

Recognized as a union of people(s) as PARTNER, ALLIANCE, AFFINITY-VINE and or INFUSED-UNION.  The combining of domestic and or mystic energies. The blending/adoption/communion of Mind (personality/intelligence), Source-Muse Mystery (spiritual/celestial), and or Heart (emotionality/intuition).  The sharing of (authentic-quality) levels of celebration, intrigue, inner-quest, and spiritual-quest -- as well as the synthesizing of fortune, labor, fruit-bearing, legacy-building, means of maturity, riches (tangible and intangible), homestead honorarium, and resonance (personal and professional). Romantic gesture(s) optional. Serendipitous synchronicity REQUIRED. With all trans-personal scholarship rendering LIFE/GAME-CHANGING results!

DIVINE-TRIFECTA INITIATING CARD-SPREAD

{click to enlarge image}

{via the Angels and Ancestors Oracle Deck/Guidebook by Kyle Gray, Artwork by Lily Moses, 2018}

DRUM (p.122) | Dream and Journey
Journey inwards to uncover insights and information that will be important to your path. Then follow the guidance. You are very connected to the other worlds (spiritual dimensions) at this time. The widsom and intelligence of the Earth and her magic surrounds you.  The Drum, which echoes the sound of Mother Earth's heartbeat, has cleared the cobwebs and dust from your inner vision.  What you have seen in your dreams and inner vision is not imagination but guidance, particularly if it has been coming to you repeatedly, and has the potential to become reality. Dreams come true -- KNOW IT and LIVE IT.
#MusicAsMedicine

ANIMAL GUARDIAN (p. 94) | Trust Your Instincts
Trust the powerful animal spirit within to learn more about yourself and your talents. You have a powerful animal within that can be wild, protective, instinctive, and even calm.
Animals don't second-guess how they feel, they just express it, and you can learn from that.  When this card arises, it's important to connect with HOW YOU REALLY FEEL, how you want to feel and what you really need.  Take the time to connect with your animal energy and express it naturally.  Let even the fiercest energy move through you before returning to your natural state.  It will teach you a lot about your gifts and HOW YOU CAN GROW.

SPIRIT FOX (p.74) | Trust Your Talents in Changing Times
Stay alert, as chang is in the air.
The energies around are changing at this time, and although it may not always be comfortable, you are equipped with all that you need to survive (thrive) this shift.  You are being presented with opportunities to reach spaces you've never encountered before, and this can make you feel on edge, but be open to the shifts occurring, because they really are the answers to your prayers.  The experience of being hunted or threatened is now behind you and you are being invited to come out from your den and reveal your glory and talents.  Call upon Spirit Fox medicine (and meditation) to help you be seen for WHO YOU ARE and trust in your talents in order to be the best you can be in the changing times.

The World (XXI): WHOLENESS, COMPLETION (p.206)
The World is the final card in the journey of the Major Arcana.  It signifies completion, harmony, and contentment.  It's rare to experience this energy, as we are usually consumed by wanting, needing, and achieving.  So when this card appears, contemplate for a moment the idea of "being whole".  Focus on the image on the card...close your eyes and envision this radiating energy inside you.  What does it FEEL like?  Where is it located?  What blocks you from feeling a sense of "wholeness" each and every day of your life?
