The Devil into the King of Wands…

Tuesday has been daring us to push personal boundaries and rethink any guilt or shame we may be chained to. Sure - we all have our vices, but sometimes your most toxic inclinations - those actions that you wish you didn’t take, but just have to and you can’t seem to stop - that behavior can point you in a direction that is palpable, if you master it. You are probably thinking, “What on earth does Holly mean by this?!?” Well I suppose I mean that you should examine anything that you are continually drawn to that feels off-color or down right dangerous and see what the true need or want is deep within. What causes you to act this way or do these things? I think you may be surprised to find, though the behavior is subversive, the intention is authentic and may not be an evil one. How do you take the very potent piece of that internal spark and use it to create, envision, empower and strengthen who you are? Take control by cutting through the core of your imagined imprisonment to get to the root of that fire and then use it. Embrace and embolden that beast - there’s something powerful there.

“Each has its lesson; for our dreams in sooth, come they in shape of demons, gods, or elves, are allegories with deep hearts of truth that tell us solemn secrets of ourselves.” — Henry Timro
