Description

The eclipse has unfurled its thickest protection, and it has blocked the blinding lights of illusion. It has lifted her strange sensation of being dulled and numbed, and stopped her false 'happy.' It has cast everything with a sheen of honest magick, and for the first time . . . she has seen it all for what it really is. Like a switch flipped, she has dropped it all. All the baggage. All the lifetimes. All the tethers. All the broken dreams. Oh, how often she has stayed when she didn't want to! How often she has done so much—for them—and never for herself. She realizes now, as she walks away, just how far of course she has twisted and how much she has changed. With this lifting of the spell, she can see everything in its lucidity. She asks you to bravely let go with her today. To cut the cords that need cutting, and to courageously choose your own self, and your own love.

Poem

In joy, this shedding Of escape and ease Not here. On horizons It looms. She walks away And heads toward her life A future of bliss And of blooms.

Visual Description

A solitary figure in a dark dress walks across rippled pale sand toward a vast black circle in the sky that is rimmed with a pink-purple corona; the sky behind it has a repeating zigzag pattern. The figure casts a long shadow behind them on the dunes. At the base of the image a small banner reads "8 of EMOTIONS."
