These Messages of Divine Love are weekly intuitive card readings offered to share strength & hope for those building a heart-centered world. Sharing messages from our collective guides, Mother Earth, the ancients watching over us with a quick peek into what our future selves want us to know and how my protectress, Mother Mary, can add love to get us through the week. Each message includes chakra themes that help center our energy. I will post any extras on Patreon (paid): Temple of the Rose Gold Heart. Your subscription here is always FREE.
INTRO NOTES TO THE DECK & READING
One of the most difficult feelings to manage is the knowledge that storms are coming and being unable to do anything about it. That helplessness is the subject of every time travel storyline, the burden of knowing.
Last week I mentioned that we needed to make use of the storms. As we enter this week it's obvious that we're seeing the aftermath of those storms - people questioning the government, asserting their rights, and waking up to the systemic designs that underpin and extract our human failings in the name of productivity and capital. Yet, even in the face of overwhelming evidence, the powers that be seem hellbent on destruction - not in the name of humanity, but in the name of control, of greed, of a relentless pursuit of violence.
I have and always will believe that none of us are free until all of us are free. The atrocities happening (and about to happen) in Gaza mirror other violence happening all over the globe from the Congo to trans kids here at home. It is all a grasp for control. And our hardship is that we are aware enough know it is happening. Whether because of our trauma or neurodivergence or ancestral stories, we know in our bones that the motives are false, we know the outcomes are never justified. We have the burden of holding this knowledge, of bearing witness as the world gleefully plays along like this is normal.
With dust still caked to our faces and decay in our throats from our own personal towers coming down, it's hard to believe anyone will hear our cry for help. But that's where this page, your page, all of ours comes into play - we have to be able to hear for each other, to reach out and grasp for the hands of those still trying to find themselves. Our knowledge becomes then a unifier, a tether to reality to keep one another grounded, and oriented in the present day to start building a way out of this dump.
For this week we have to be content with learning to see in the dark so we can find others who are ready to help us create the world we need. The right people will find us no matter how dark it gets.
Where We Are This Week
Seven of Swords (R)
Sacral Chakra
If you're feeling betrayed at this moment in human history, let me assure you that you're not alone. Four years ago when the pandemic hit and conspiracy theories were flying around, people lacked any grounding in how our systems actually function to parse truth from fiction. Their ideas about law, policy, politics, and the function of corporate interests muddied the waters just enough to start throwing tried and true standards of justice, equity, and inclusion into question. We are rightfully feeling betrayed by both the industries and leaders who let this happen (or worse, benefitted it). We are seeing the result of political and moral cowardice poisoning the world into genocidal indifference. But worse than this we also have lost trust in one another to pull together for the right cause at the right time. The fracturing has gotten under our skin. The only upside to all of this is that now we are aware of what the poisons are, we can start to alchemize our gifts into an antidote - but it will take all our energy to remain grounded in truth when so little of it is present.
Messages from our Guides
The Priestess
Solar Plexus Chakra
Leave aside Melisande as a character for a moment and focus instead on the high priestess as a figure. She was once a conduit between humanity and the divine - the keeper of the gates of birth and death. She was a doula, advisor, midwife, healer, oracle, and guardian through the rites of death. What might our world be if we allowed the priestesses to return to a space of power and influence? Not to have dominion over all, but to be the holder of the collective unconscious, the equilibrium to all this competitive ego in the room. To serve in balance with the masculine. Who serves in that capacity today? In government? In business? In your own life? How can you channel that energy into your realms of leadership?
Messages from Lady Gaia/Mother Earth
King of Cups (R)
Crown Chakra
We went from the King of Pentacles reversed to the King of Cups reversed. Is it any wonder when the Man vs. Bear debate brought out a tidal wave of weaponized self-pity from a whole section of the manosphere? The energy that comes through with this card is very much "You know nothing, Jon Snow!" Let him be a lesson to you - how often is navel-gazing guilt and stoic sworn duty just a cover for self-pity? We're seeing a lot of crying into empty cups instead of taking the defeats for what they are - a signal to rise from the lessons wiser and more aware, more attuned than ever before. When we allow defeats to blind us to a higher duty we lose the plot on our deeper responsibility to Mother Earth and all her creatures great and small. Don't let self-pity cause us to wallow when we could have been learning our lessons and lending a hand all along.
Messages from the Ancients
Six of Swords (R)
Heart Chakra
This is just a simple acknowledgment from the ancients that we've had a difficult time letting go. Even when we know better, there are parts of our past that have been tethering us to unsafe shores. We keep getting drawn back. And we keep viewing it as defeat. As you might have seen in my reel last week on Instagram, even with the greatest of healing, the triggers can still catch us off guard, holding us hostage in the last room of the last tower that this old world created. But remember, you are not alone - we are not going to let you fall to the old demons any more than you'll let me fall to mine. Feel the collective courage of the ancestors and the ancients, the elders and the past lives chanting your name in unison. They have your back...and so do I.
Messages from Our Future Selves
Queen of Coins (R)
Throat Chakra
With that said, do not simply take mine, or anyone else's word for it. In fact, words are going to be the least reliable mode of trust for this week. Pay attention to concrete actions, not just honeyed words. What is the energy? What is the intention? Do they match? While this might normally be a third-eye trait, I want you to be watching with a discerning ear for discernment and honesty. The women who claim to be priestesses of the world - who are they serving? Who taught them? Who are their benefactors? What is their transparency? What is their level of support for marginalized people? Be aware of who we are supporting and why (including me!) and follow only those who hold the highest vision for our togetherness, not the most sparkly version of the same kinds of separation.
Messages from Mother Mary
Knight of Swords (R)
Root Chakra
Mother Mary is here to acknowledge the very real danger we feel within our bodies as we try to unroot ourselves from colonist paradigms and patriarchal structures. The core hubris of our society is being threatened, down to its core, and us alongside it. It is easy to be distracted by the threats to our autonomy and independence - there are real forces at work that profit off our misery and complicity. Now, more than ever we need to reach for each other - to connect hand by hand if we need to so that these forces cannot hurt us any longer. Nitpicking will only slow you down. Protection will lift us up.
Undercurrents
Ten of Spears
Solar Plexus Chakra
Leveling up comes with its rewards, but also with its new round of blood, sweat, and tears. Despite the good things that are (or will be) delivered to you, there is an itch at the back of your heart that want to cry with defeat because you are so overwhelmed. This isn't snide, it's truth. The overwhelm is meant to either drive you back or drive you forward, but it will not let you fully sit still. If you continue on the path alone, you will face burnout. If, however, you let go or at the very least, ask for help, the work won't seem quite as daunting or isolating.
Final Advice
The Moon (R)
Third Eye Chakra
It feels like each week we can find our footing on the ever-shifting tides of this world, a strong wind comes and we're doused again with the storm's fatigue. The world isn't behaving the way we expect it to, disorienting us and making us feel more alone. Do not let the overwhelm shadow the knowledge you hold deep within. Watch and wait for the patterns - nature will share her wisdom if you listen. Wait for the divine timing to guide you through.
PARTING WORDS FROM A GEEK EMPRESS
Last week I featured Sean Bean as an avatar of the big bad we need to defeat. This week he’s the victim, too trusting, too stoic, too willing to believe that the systems would protect him and the realm, despite all his prior experience to the contrary. This week the energy is closer to Littlefinger. We have realized who poisoned the realm to set off a series of dominoes that would bring about ruin. But just like Littlefinger, his ambitions will eventually catch up with him and he’ll make the wrong gamble and it will be clever, strong women who will join forces to defeat him using his own tools.
So it is with these systems that are trying to drown and overwhelm us. They have been there, embedded in the fabric of our lives. Control, extraction, consumption, destruction. Each day brings us new evidence of how easily undermined how humanity has been by a few who hoard wealth to extract resources for nothing but to secure their own power.
One of the most popular posts I’ve had was the “Lightwashing of Reality” detailing how a group of spiritual women leaned into ignorance and separation for our collective demise. We see now the consequences - how false electors emerged, an insurrection consumed our Capitol and Roe was overturned. They threaten the world that my trans daughter is growing up in yet try to smear “divine feminine” graffiti all over it as if it will make the oppression better coming from women. Because they never bothered to care about politics or law before, they were easily manipulated to undermine us all. They had just enough knowledge to be dangerous, feeding themselves themselves into the machinery of patriarchy, the traps of white supremacy, and the matrix of falsehoods.
So on the one hand, this reading asks us to trust feminine leadership - but it also warns us of how patriarchy is cosplaying as compassion through its handmaidens to lure us back into the complicity of global trauma. Resist and align with those who truly demonstrate their leadership through more than words or followers, but through the autonomy they preserve and the vulnerable they protect.
No matter what this week brings know that I am with you, always, in love 💖
Coming Soon…
My life as a leader has been designed around one grand belief: the infinite capacity of the human heart to generate, receive, and project Love.
Like you, I’ve been isolated, seemingly standing alone for so long that it’s hard to trust others will respond if I reach toward them. Many, including me, are tasked to become bridges of understanding between these disparate worlds. We stand at the crossroads helping the weary find their way out of the decay of their trauma and into the interconnectedness that could heal all of us.
A calling like this requires courage and faith to pursue. But, if the history of my calling has taught me anything, it is that our mission is not complete until we have champions, colleagues, and chosen family who can fill in where we are still developing. My own transformation has urged me to pour myself into creating a network of support around people doing this kind of work - for us to be shields for each other.
In the next month, I will be developing a monthly group for heart-centered healers, leaders & activists to come together in support of our various projects. I am still developing the format - but if you want to be added to the invite list - send me a message:
May this reading carry my love and blessings to strengthen you, no matter what the week may bring 💖
