In the physical

We are, at the moment, of the earth. We are in they physical. Through the dense matter of the body, burns the fire of pure being. The Queen of Pentacles reminds me that people have been birthing since the beginning of people. Birthing into incarnation in full moon fire-warmed family. The earthly space ready, the Ancestors and Deities present, no separation, no interference, no doubt in our capability. We haven’t ‘lost’ that wisdom. It’s being taken from us by force. A subtle force, that uses fear, guilt-tripping, infantilisation, coercion, smiles, silence, misinformation. Recognising and opposing that force, standing guard around that cave entrance, is the work of a birthkeeper, or a grandmother. We come in on a contract and we let life wound us so that we can bleed our magic back into the earth. Jessica Dore references The Book of Thoth where Aleister Crowley connects the Queen of Pentacles to “the ambition of matter to take part in the Great Work of creation.” Jessica Dore speaks of yearning to ‘participate through values-aligned behaviour in the creation of an ideal world…’ The Queen of Pentacles reminds us of our purpose on earth.
