Keepers of The Gifts

Photo by  Larm Rmah  on  Unsplash Maybe we're sad.  As One Consciousness, maybe we're sad.  Sad because we have no memory of who we are, and because of it have become destructive in nature.  Consumers and not producers.  We kill each other.  We don't protect children.  We're afraid all of the time, like we're the weakest of the litter, awaiting death like there's nothing we can do.  Fear.  That fear has worn many faces, including anger, hate, lack of self love, low self esteem, bullying, dictatorship, quitting, compliance, the intentional ignorance when we purposely turn our backs when things happen because "It's not me.  It's not my kid.  It's not my people.  It's not my family.  It's not my culture.  It's not my country.  It's not my 'race'.  It's just an animal.  They're just trees."  It's all fear.  Fear exists because we believe, in some way, we are less than.  Fear exists because we believ

Connecting With Thoth

Thoth Photo Credit: Crimson Chains I remember when I started noticing Thoth's presence around me. At first, I recognized him as Hermes and Mercury.  Would notice images of the caduceus pop up in videos I'd watch  on YouTube.  Got my attention  one day with  a Hermes Music t-shirt a friend wore to work. Then while surfing for videos to watch, I came across a video about self-initiation and finding your deity. My interest was already peaked, and I thought it to be a sign...more clues to confirm what I knew to be true.  The energy of the video (listed below)   was very welcoming and down to earth as Shy The Gemini spoke  about her own experiences with Oya, the Orisha of winds, lightning and violent storms, death and rebirth.  She also explained that  Oya is an energy and is an aspect of herself...not a separate Being or Deity she worshipped.  This lined up with my own feelings about worshipping  things and giving my energy away.  I felt empowered after watching the video.
