Hello there Intuitive Friends!
Happy Full Moon in Gemini! I hope this week’s newsletter finds you well as we step into the last calendar month of 2025. This week we’ll talk more about lucid dreams, the many benefits of the hazelnut, and more, so let’s get into it!
Structures Built to Fail…
In a recent lucid dream I paid a visit to a seaside restaurant with a small group of others. When we walked in we found a wooden shack almost barren. There were holes in the floors where you could see the sand beneath, and in the walls and ceiling where the crashing tide would splash through is as diners ate cautiously over the two or so tables that remained. A television hanging in a corner played over a dismal bar, barely audible over the thundering of the waves on the walls.
I watched the diners huddle over their meals. I stared in confusion as the building shook beneath my feet. The waves crashed higher and higher, and I could sense that the structure was going to give way to the power of the sea any second.
“This structure was built to fail,” I said to myself. Whether due to time, natural erosion, or simple pride, the building was no longer safe. I told my companions as much, and we left.
When I woke up this particular part of the dream still stood out. In my morning meditation I was taken back to the scene.
What once was is no longer. All that is left is an empty shell, a lingering memory grasping onto the shifting sands that will soon be washed away as well.
I realized that it was time to finally release the dilapidated remains of past constructs that were not built to last me on my spiritual journey. The rising waters and crashing waves represent the emotional changes and power of consciousness carrying me through this transition. I could choose to stay in a falling system and be swept away, or I could find something better.
Change is not always easy, nor is it gentle. However we can’t afford to stay where we are at, especially in structures that weren’t built for the strength of the changing seas we face. It’s time to let old habits, fears, and beliefs wash away, and build something new, more in harmony with who and where we are now, and what we want this world to truly be.
Hazelnut Symbolism…
Hazelnuts are abundant in benefits for both the physical, spiritual, and emotional bodies. They are associated with wisdom and spiritual knowledge in several different cultures, including Celtic and Norse mythology. They are also thought to provide poetic insight and encourage magical thinking.
Hazelnut is an easily accessible nut and can often be found in your grocery store aisles. It’s also a popular flavoring in coffee drinks or desserts. It’s a delectable scent to have in a candle or wax melt, especially around the winter season.
If you’re a writer needing to work through a writer’s block, or are looking to ground yourself with a sweet treat, reach for the hazelnut to help bring comfort and clarity this season!
5 Minute Grounding Meditation…
The holidays can have us bustling around from events, to errands, then time with loved ones, so it’s important that we stay as grounded as possible throughout the festivities. With a packed schedule it may be even harder to find time for a meditative practice, but everyone deserves at least 5 minutes of their own time, don’t you think?!
As I was running out the door one day I found this wonderful 5 Minute Energy Grounding and Cleansing Guided Meditation. It’s a lovely yet quick way to reconnect with yourself, refresh your intentions, and bring balance to the energies you are both receiving and giving – this is especially important as we tend to be around more people and energies than usual during the holiday season.
So take a break! This meditation is a great little soul scrub to help get you through the busier days.
Giving Intuitively…
If you are giving this season or want to treat yourself to some guidance or validation I would be honored to work with you! I am currently offering written intuitive readings, oracle pulls, and virtual dowsing rod sessions. I also have a small amount of handcrafted intuitive jewelry pieces available, as well as original art. Gift certificates are also available, just send me a quick message. You can take a look at all of my offerings at blackswamp.co.
Thank you so much for joining me for another wonderful week of intuitive adventures. It’s truly such a joy for me to share with you the many ways spirituality and intuition weave into our lives. I hope that you find something that resonates with you, please take what you need and leave the rest.
With much love,
Katie T.
