"There's an angel
With her hand on my head
She say I got nothing to fear
There's a darkness
living deep in my soul
Still got a purpose to serve
So let your light shine"

Funny things happen when you invite your BFF the Slutty Goddess over for leftover chili and a chance to play guinea pig to your new cards. Yeah, so when I'm not channeling the universal joy juice to assist others in their healing journey, I sometimes do intuitive readings with cards.
Speaking of cards, after my recent move to Tucker, Georgia, it was discovered that my favorite Tarot cards got lost in the shuffle. Pun intended. But seriously, they were nowhere to be found. And after I moved a 5-piece drum kit into the garage, I stopped looking. I needed some distance from intuition with regards to others and, instead, began to focus on learning to play an intuitive instrument. So I got lost in the shuffle. Another pun intended.

I digress.
Back to the Slutty Goddess and her request for a reading. She had been hounding me about the whereabouts of my cards, and I had the thought that maybe I needed new cards. So one day during my lunch break (believe it or not I have a real day job, with a desk and an adult paycheck for providing a very normal product and service...insurance!), I stopped by Health Unlimited to see what I might find. I love this store! I found my scent and many an odd gift there over the years. Check this place out if you haven't already. It smells awesome and the folks there are very nice and knowledgeable.
Again, I digress. Oh well.
So, Slutty Goddess and I ate chili and talked about the past year, our friendships, our family, boys, politics and business ventures, as well as what we are doing now to ensure continued growth. Some people seek guidance in religion, we simply decided to consult the cards. Not much difference really. You can randomly pick a Bible verse for guidance, or you can play a little game called Who's Your Goddess? The latter is more fun, doesn't cost you anything and there is no fear whatsoever of burning in hell.
Not surprisingly, SG is a Changing Woman. This Goddess changes with the seasons and, in fact, embodies all aspects of life from birth to death...including rebirth. According to Native American legend, she is the planned child of First Man and First Woman. Sound familiar? Anyway, considering the journey of the past seven years, I think this is spot on for the SG. Changing Woman is a very good guide for her as she redefines herself as a woman. I especially love the way the "girl" in her has emerged. It is a beautiful sight, let me tell you.
We were enjoying this so much that we pulled cards for our closest friends. I won't divulge those results, but again...spot on!
Then it was my turn. Who's my Goddess? SG is very intuitive, so I wasn't worried.
Meet Hel! Norse Goddess of the Dead. Good thing I have a sense of humor.
It is interesting to note that Hel's appearance is believed, by some, to be the origin of the masked harlequin, which has frequently appeared as a standard character in Commedia dell'Arte, with a black side of a face, and a white side. In fact, Hel's physical description, much like that of the harlequin mask, exhibits the duality that exists in the world, which is inherent to both life and death.
Legend tells us that Hel had an eye of fire, which could only see that which was true, thereby making it impossible for anyone to hide anything from her. Looking at this in a different light, Hel may actually have been challenging the world to find the courage necessary to look behind the mask that was her appearance, so they might see her as she truly was inside.
Well, I'll be damned. Maybe I do know who I am after all. I am duplicitous, black and white...Kimmy Sue and Ruby Lou. Everyone has two faces. I simply have names for mine.
Of course, the Bible tells me I am pagan and most likely going to Hell.
I don't mind. There's no place like home!

Big hug from the SG/Changing Woman Goddess. !!!!!
