December, 1949
Judith: for when you are in your winter and in need of deep change in direction and spirit.
The ritual I’ve drawn is best practiced on a waning or new moon.
Like the seed planted in dark soil, you will start your journey in the shadows. The greatest alchemy we achieve through our practice is the transmutation of the soul. It is easy to know ourselves, but a great challenge to transform what we know into something entirely new. Drink deep. The wind through the tunnel will be beastly for a time.
Sweep the path before casting the circle, your mother doesn’t tend to the tunnel since your father started back at the factory.
Yours, Grandma Helen
