Daughter of Darkness and Fire

This is my season
The season Persephone returns to the underworld
To take up her night-sky crown
A season where darkness rules
And pomegranate seeds glisten
Like ruby drops of blood
Across a dark and mossy earth
A season where candlelight entwines with shadow
And long nights lay steeped in vivid dreaming

In this season I embrace my own darkness
Unafraid of the cold and the quiet
For this is where magic lives
Where the mythical and mystical thrive
Weaving spells amongst the silence
I remember my power just like Persephone
For this is a season where the resolute thrive

I submerge into my own deep waters
My dark reflection staring back at me
As I descend into my true self
Into the rejuvenation that exists 
At the heart of midnight
I greet each version of myself
Forgiving myself for every unkindness
Every neglectful moment
In this stillness where I am 
Safe and whole inside my power
For this is the season I return to self
Where I remember who I am
A daughter of darkness and fire

If I Was a Tarot Card (Knight of Swords)

Knight of Swords – Spiritus Solis Tarot
If I was a tarot card
The Knight of Swords it would be
Even my name, Gladys
Is reminiscent of the gladius blade

The knight and I are of quick wit
Sharp tongue
And posses a low tolerance for stupidity
We have something to say
And you must listen now or miss it
To your own detriment

The truth is our shield
Logic our blade
We understand the time is now
And no one and nothing will
Stop our message

Some may think us 
Too blunt
Too cutting
Too opinionated
Too unfeeling
But that is because they do not
Understand the urgency

Carpe Diem my friends
The day is yours to lose
The opportunity of now 
Will not return again

Chapter Has Ended (8 of Cups)

Eight of Cups (8 of Cups) – Cozy Witch Tarot
What is
No longer serves me
I glance back over my shoulder 
Setting this place and time
Into my memory to honor
The weight of this moment
This chapter has ended
Though I may be the only
One who knows it
I shoulder my bag
With deliberate movements
And a deep sigh
It’s time to find out
To discover 
To move on and move forward 
With a step 
I let go of what was
And turn toward a path I know
Will be paved with the opportunity
For enlightenment and discovery
