La Gran’Mère du Chimquière

Oh my goodness, this most beautiful gift and addition to my altar arrived into my life today, totally unexpectedly and I have been smiling ever since.

This was a gift from a special friend who knows me much better than I realised and knew what I was missing when even I didn’t.

Last week, as you know if you have been reading this blog regularly, I went to see La Gran’Mère du Chimquière because I felt things were a little shaky and wobbly with the moon and I wanted some of her strength and support to help me see it through to the other side of the full moon. It’s been a bit like going through the mill, break down to break through, always the process is uncomfortable, but heck, how else would we grow!

I managed a trip to the fairy cave yesterday, felt the need to just go and be held by that space, and the ancients, always there to support if you feel the need and are able to heed the call. We sort of just ended up there, if anything it was E’s call, he was insistent we visit Lihou island even though it was far too windy to walk with the children far. But it got me in the cave and I’m grateful for that and the ancients because it did positively shift something.

I could feel it all lifting yesterday evening and talk of the new came in which got my heart fluttering and I awoke this morning with the clarity I had been searching these last six months or so. It’s always an utter relied when the light floods back in again, and yet funny it should happen on the waning moon and the decline into winter, Samhain not too far away now, so maybe actually it’s perfect.

It was certainly perfect timing for her to come into my life today. I hadn’t even realised she had arrived until I was just about to go out to the beach and there she was by the front door, delivered and I wasn’t even aware of it ensconced in my yoga practice upstairs instead. I was overwhelmed by her. Of course I took it as a sign but I also took it as a reminder of the goodness in life and that everything is just as it needs to be. With that I positively skipped to the beach for a swim.

Thank you Kristin for being so thoughtful, kind and generous, and thank you La Gran’Mère du Chimquière for being in my life.
