(Wednesday, April 29, 2020) first quarter moon in Cancer / tarot eight of spirals (pentacles)
In an episode of sleep paralysis, I lie flat on my back with my right arm outstretched. I don’t realize I am frozen until I sense the spirit of a female cat in bed with me. She curls around my inner arm several times, settling against my armpit. I cannot see her, but I know she is grey and lanky.
I start to focus on freeing myself from paralysis. I try to wave my knees back and forth, from left to right and right to left. It works.
Suddenly I see an eagle descending from heaven, from many miles high. The eagle-angel protectively clutches the grey cat in her talons, bringing her down to earth to meet me.
