The Empowered Empath’s Survival Tool Kit.

The Empowered Empath’s Survival Tool Kit.

by Monika Carless | Apr 25, 2018 | Musings

“And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” ~ Anaïs Nin I love this quote by Anaïs Nin because it so poignantly reminds me that my journey as an empath and highly sensitive person (HSP) must be one...

Ten years ago, I knew nothing about book writing a Ten years ago, I knew nothing about book writing and even less about book publishing.

I sent the manuscript for my first book to a professional editor. He told me, “Nobody is going to publish an unknown author’s trilogy, write something else first.” But this thing was coming through with urgency, my muse was present and we were on fire to work together. I wrote about the Fae. My editor asked me… are you Irish? I wrote multiple POV. He said this was not a thing. So many discouragements. I was committed to the story as it poured out of me. I was in deep smit with my characters. They showed up so authentically, I couldn’t abandon them.

When inspiration shows up, follow it down every dark alley to the bones of its origin. It arrives when it does, and a writer must be willing to commit to it.

Honor what wants to be birthed through you. There is no one else on the planet who can write it from your perspective, your life experience and your imagination.

Accept good advice but listen to your intuition.

Create for the sake of creativity, meet your muse with intention.

The Dark Pool Trilogy. Your next summer read. Available separately or in one big volume, and e-book.

The more I study Lilith's mythology, that of the s The more I study Lilith's mythology, that of the serpent, and the religions of the patriarchy, the more I notice how deeply we have been initiated into the fear of snakes and women's sovereignty.

My fear of snakes wasn't just relayed through the stories told me by Catholicism, it is cell deep, within my DNA, something I feared instinctively but had no idea why, as a child.

Its a lifetime of deconstruction, of meeting Lilith again and again, of cross-referencing
myth after myth from several cultures, of re-visiting folklore which is showing me the centuries old deception. 

Lilith, the serpent & woman, the unholy trinity, caused the downfall of mankind. 

Let us be free of this nonsense.
When we're creating something soul-led When we've When we're creating something soul-led
When we've birthed our children
When we're in deep transition through life stages
When we're traveling Saturn and Chiron Returns
When we're remembering ourselves
When the body needs rest

There are many pathways that call for celibacy. 
Its not the absence of our sexual nature but a re-imagining.
When we keep that energy to ourselves. It can be erotically satisfying to create, so satisfying that we surrender to its freedom.

What is your relationship with celibacy? 

I worked with Innana, descending to my personal underworld to work this alchemy

Why do you keep going on about the patriarchy? Why Why do you keep going on about the patriarchy?
Why do you keep stirring the waters? 
Old women are so cranky, angry, bitter...

If you're a Crone, Witch Hag, you understand why. 

Our concern are the children, maidens, mothers, all the women on the planet who still suffer under patriarchal systems.
We'll never be too old to challenge what's harming others.

@sharonblackiemythmakings thank you for the wisdom

Remembering mythical mothers centers the Feminine Remembering mythical mothers centers the Feminine as the Cosmic Creatress.

Witnessing them within our earthly mother and within ourself, brings perspective to these energies, ancient and alive as we live and breathe.

Tiamat, from Mesopotamian mythology, Ma'at, from Egytian mythology, are frequencies still resonating throughout the cosmos. What are they dissolving or creating in you?

Each month of the year carries its own energetic, Each month of the year carries its own energetic, archetypal blueprint - something we can feel resonating within our body and emotions. We also have imprinted memories of each month, things that happened, ways we view it through a cultural and personal lens.

We can carry forward these imprints year to year. Tap in. Is there something to pay attention to this June? 

June relates to Juno, the Roman goddess of love and marriage, but may also relate to the word 'youth' either way, it is a vibrant energy. The 6th month welcomes the blooming of roses, another symbol of love and hosts Gemini and Cancer Seasons.

June is pure magic, with Summer Solstice the mid-year, and Mid-Summer, to those who follow the Celtic cultural calendar.

I’ll share about Mid-year and Mid-life correlations soon, as well as a ritual.

June 8 – Last Quarter Moon  in Pisces – the Season of the Crone

June 14 – Dark Moon in Gemini – the Sacred Pause

June 15 – Witch’s New Moon – Cast your Dream Seeds!

June 21 – Summer Solstice, Cancer Season

June 22 – First Quarter in Libra – Grow Roots, Take Action

June 29 – Full Moon in Capricorn

June 29 Mercury Retrograde, pre-shadow begins around Summer Solstice
