Description

She is having trouble seeing the paths that lie ahead. Two maidens light the way, yet neither can illuminate what exists beyond the fog of the horizon. Their counsel is to turn to the moon, and to trust the inner voice. She squints to see, and the watery surface sparkles in the dark. The shadows cast illusions, and without true clarity she finds herself quieted. Afraid. Unsure. She takes a deep breath, and the Muse of the Moon stirs as her light bends and lengthens. Moon child, there is ancient wisdom ahead, and yet you must meander into my moonlit streams of unconscious trust, and allow your intuition to hear the gentle nudges of your knowing. Her voice streams in, louder now: Find peace within the shadows, for there is deep magic there. Find deep truth in your own discernment. Sometimes you cannot know until you walk the way. Know that your path will indeed be one of uncertainty at times, and allow your fears to dissipate as the sun peeks over the horizon at dawn.

Poem

You were written in stardust, and folded through time, and the seas of illusion are your mountains to climb.

Visual Description

A large, pink full moon dominates the upper half of the composition against a star-speckled black sky. In the foreground a woman in a long white gown stands with her back to the viewer, arms outstretched and delicate chains or beads draped between her hands. Two ghostly, statue-like female figures stand on either side, each shielding their eyes as if looking toward the moon, and a dotted, winding path runs along the pinkish ground. At the bottom a small label reads "18. the MOON."
