“Oracles are subtle message from the universe around us that teach and guide us on our paths. We needn’t have a rational system of interpretation for understanding the messages.”
“There is a web that connects each of us with everything that is….The ancients honored the web over everything, worshiping the Moon Goddess as the weaver of destiny: a giant spider sitting at the center of the universe, creating the universe from her center. From her belly she spins something form nothing, everything from the empty space within…”
“A woman shaman, like a spider spinning,, must learn to lead from the womb. To move our attention from the head to the belly, from the mind to the body, a woman must learn to read the signals and to trust them.”
“Otherwise she’ll never be sure about the difference between her intuition and those fearful little voices in her head that tell her to be cautious, stop, don’t and so on.”
“Something needs to validate the intuitive movements along the way, something needs to function as teacher or guide. That something is synchronicity as a way of life, a path of steady observation and response to the little messages that come from the environment every day: sensations in the body, encounters and events that happen in the outer world, the way things line up in linear time, all the little miracles.”

This has come at just the right time for me… I have a situation in my life that I keep receiving messages about, which encourage me to keep believing, have faith and that tell me it is the right path. Every time I forget to do these, something happens out of the blue, whether it’s something someone says or an event and they remind me to keep this faith and belief. My intuition about these messages feels on fire, I have physical sensations that actually acknowledge the message within me. However, my mind has started to question these messages, asking whether they are just coincidence. And then I read this post, and I know, deeply and purely, that they are not so. Thankyou thankyou thankyou for this message :)

I love the spider metaphor! I remember that as a little girl, I had a natural relationship with oracles of my own creation/imagination, even though it was not until I was an adult that I could name it. I remember asking inside for an answer to a problem or help with what to do next, then watch or listen to the subtle response encoded in, for instance, the panels of light and shadow on the hallway floor or the pattern of rotten apples fallen under our tree.
Now I consult runes, cards, pendulum and the arrangement of my altar for messages, and I find that those messages weave more complex narratives as they align with signs, inner observations, visions and dreams…this is what I have lately called, “reading the web” – it is how I understand synchronicity. This process leads me deep into myself when I trust, and causes confusion when I resist.
Collectively, we are on the path to remembering who we are – mythmakers one and all! ♥♥♥
Thank you.

This was how I lived my life. I felt safe and so very loved as I knew in my heart that I was divinely guided. I trusted and I surrendered. Then the most amazing experience happened. Mindblowing synchronicities. So many that it was impossible to doubt even for a moment. Then, all of a sudden, it was cruelly ripped away. It seemed that it was my surrender and following the guidance and the little messages was where I went wrong. As a result I have lost my faith and my trust. I feel bewildered and bereft. Losing what was brought to me as well as my faith. I frequent MM to somehow restore and resurrect my shattered heart, spirit and soul. I love to read all of your beautiful comments and wish I could feel that way again.
