The Transformative Power of XIII Death and Emerging as a Butterfly

Have not hit the gym in a couple of weeks.  Went once after Christmas I do believe and that's it.  Struggling with a cold but I miss the gym and will just go, cold or no cold.  Don't want to lose too much muscle mass.

Had an odd dream about singing with someone I didn't recognise and it might have been lip syncing or karaoke but it seemed to be in front of an audience of sorts.  And I think this other person may have been younger but not so sure if they were male or female and one point they seemed to be peeking through the opening of an old wooden television.

Then I was walking away from my "singing" performance and on a street somewhere, didn't recognise it as being anywhere around metro Vancouver.  As I was walking I got splashed with a couple of different types of liquid as three teenage boys ran by me.  They turned back toward me and laughed but their actions of spilling this on me didn't appear to be all that intentional.  However as I continued walking, two other people approached me and that's when I/they noticed that what appeared to be paint landed on the sleeve of my tan summer blazer and maybe what was acid on my light green spring sweater.  Although I did not appear to be burned we noticed that my abdomen appeared to full of scars when I checked to see if the acid had burned me.  I did not feel pain of have any sort of bad reaction to seeing the scars nor was I surprised.

Spirit Is and today's Pagan Tarot Energy is "XIII Death: Perhaps the most feared card in the deck, and yet a very positive card, Death indicates a time when our denial can no longer blind us to the things in our lives we must change; the very fiber of our  lives must transform itself, much like the butterfly emerging from its cocoon. We must leave the old self behind and fly free to our new lives."

When this card appeared I knew in an instant that "the very fiber of our  lives must transform itself, much like the butterfly emerging from its cocoon. We must leave the old self behind and fly free to our new lives."  And I really must leave "the old self behind and fly free to" my new life.  I know this with every fibre of my being.  And during lunch this afternoon I took a glance at the card on the bottom of the deck and it was "XVI The Tower", further proof that I must change and in this case change means getting rid of old habits once and for all.  I thought I did this a while back but some old habits are slow to leave us.  And I'm so glad that I'm recognizing this at a time where I'm in control and can bring about such change as I often fool myself in thinking that some of my old habits bring me comfort when in fact they do not.  I am indeed like a "butterfly emerging from its cocoon."

Thank You Spirit.
