There is magic that is still alive and well today if you open yourself up to the universe. It’s the magic we all have within us. We’re all born with this innate gift. As the world takes hold of us the people in our lives can dampen our gift, ultimately resulting in either a death or a dimming of our inner light. My light has been dim for some time but has recently been re-woken. I had to find my inner spark again. This journey has lead me to a 70 something year old retired college professor.
Our family friend’s lives were dramatically changed with the help of this man. This professor has a knack for reading uncanny astrology charts. After my husband had his astrology chart read he told me I needed to get mine done as well. He has been bugging me to have my chart read and talk to this person. I have never been ready until I started down a rabbit hole of Empaths and Intuitives .
One afternoon, as the Beast took her afternoon nap, Hubs and I sat around our table to call this man. As our conversation unfolded I could now understand why Hubs wanted me to talk to him. The conversation went way beyond any Astrology chart. While talking to this man I uncovered deep rooted issues I haven’t truly faced… Self-Hate. He offered a recommendation of a book by Cheri Huber called There’s Nothing Wrong with You (Ironically Hubs had bought his book in college and it sat in our library). His story is not mine to tell but what I can say after that hour conversation I was left with my head spinning.
After talking to this mystical mentor, I had the the need to talk to him again. We talked again about my chart a couple of weeks later. He told me I needed to prepare myself for December. He mentioned the Greek goddess Athena being in my court at this current time and she can help me with the challenges ahead. I found this very ironic as a few day before I was thinking I would like to have some sort of Spirit guide or someone to call upon. He offered a mantra ” I am Athena. Here I stand. I can be no other.”
After that conversation, my whole being felt like I was spinning. There is this feeling that I unopened Pandora’s after that phone call. I asked the universe for a sign to see if I was at all on the right track. Within in 24 hours I was watering my garden and looked down to see an owl feather near our walk way. There was my sign from Athena.
