What a surprise it was to encounter this deeply familiar stranger hiding in the canvas of my 2021 Insight journey… an alchemist on the mission of helping me to claim what is deeply ancient and transform it into a path for the future!
She wrote me a letter:
Dearest Fiercely Compassionate Grandmother, Sue,
You were born for this moment and this journey. Like the roots of the Tree of Life which shelters you, the roots of your Grandmothers run so very deeply.
I know you were a bit surprised that this became such a contemplative process. Your wee mystic’s hut surprised even me! I hope you’ll spend some time there, near the water, open to the inspiration of the bees, buzzing both to and from your heart. It is time like that which allowed the Grandmothers’ Manifesta to be born in the same heart that sees with the eyes of your girls.
I can’t wait to see what comes from your plans ripening in the honeycomb. I know the season for gathering is coming closer and closer.
You also need to know that I feel the courage in your hand raised in blessing and power and a reminder of your calling, lived along the red thread.
You’ve got this. My one request is that you continue making prayer dots. As many of them as it takes to surround yourself with love on the hard days and set it loose for healing and power and hope in the world.
Welcome, to your place among the Matriarchs. We’ve been waiting for you!
Love,
Our Lady of the Dark Mysteries
