(Thursday, January 30, 2020) waxing crescent moon Aries / tarot two of swords
I am stepping down a huge wooded hill that slopes to the bank of a wide river or ocean sound. Vancouver? The soil beneath my feet is deeply fertile and black. Moist and aromatic. The trees are tall, old pines with no undergrowth beneath them. Their canopy shields the sun in a gentle way. It’s completely quiet: an ancient forest.
In my arms I hold a rainbow-colored salmon or trout the size of a domestic cat. She rests peacefully on my right arm and I cuddle her with my left.
As we get closer to the water’s edge the trees thin and the sun shines warmly on our bodies. I notice a high-bridge to my right that I have dreamt of before: the bridge to The Ancestors. It is not my time to crossover.
We reach the shoreline. My beautiful, shimmering rainbow fish suddenly disappears from my arms, then manifests on a large boulder in the water. Resting. The flowing channel is too deep for me to step into and join her. The boulder is exactly like the one Lola would sleep on for hours in the summer.
Day notes:
Salmon spirit animal is rebirth, eternal life, happiness, fertility, creativity.
