The Magickal Pen

“All that is gold does not glitter,
not all those who wander are lost.

The old that is strong does not wither,
deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
a light from the shadows shall spring.

Renewed shall be the blade that was broken,
the crownless again shall be king.”
… J.R.R. Tolkien …

Finding the hidden meaning. Revealing the truths that are just within reach. Acknowledging the importance of everything no matter how small and seemingly unimportant. Parting the veil and fully embracing the reality that surrounds me. This is my work.This is my quest and this is where I will find the most transformational lessons.

I wrote this post five years ago and have been revisiting it frequently this month. So much has moved quickly around and in me and at times it has felt very surreal. Each new opportunity and challenge has brought me back to anchoring and grounding myself in what I know is real and true.

I also see more clearly now how easy it is to get swept away into the ephemeral. There is a comfort found in remaining in a state of spiritual identity that does not demand of you acknowledgement of what is palpable and needs human interaction to achieve a state of balance and clarity.

So, I shall continue to look for the hidden meaning and the truths to be revealed from that seeking. And, in that process, I will find the authority and power to claim my own kingship.

Blessings as you seek your own….
