I’ve written about this before but it’s been awhile (Iconoclastic Men). I may or may not make sense.
I consider myself a conduit or messenger. I work as an astrologer but that is just one manifestation of this. I feel I was meant to make things that are important accessible to people who would not have access any other way.
In mulling this, I got to thinking about the Woman’s Club. Many of you know these old ladies have asked me to take over as President of their club even though it is nearly 100 years old and I have only been a member for five months. The average women the in club is about 80 years old. I am currently working with the sitting President and other Club officers trying to learn their procedures while I offer ideas that might bring some younger women in so the club can be sustained. I have my whole heart in this and plan to really going to try to step up and try to do the job but it’s a challenge.
It’s a challenge because I’m from the desert and these women are all very well mannered. As most know, I am tremendously lacking in this regard. But anyway, it hit me today why I might be actually be able to do this and the reason surprised me. It’s my grandfather, Henry.
My grandfather did not have any children until he was just shy of 40 years old. I was the fourth child born to my mother so there was a vast age difference between, Henry and I. He was in his mid-sixties by the time I was old enough to remember him. I see now that this gives me a long reach. Most people my age (and younger) did not have access to someone so much older where I saw, Henry every day of my life for about ten years.
I was exposed to someone who lived through the Depression and not only that, Henry wrote about it so I’ve got a firsthand account. These ladies were born during the depression so I can understand their sensibilities. They are definitely a grateful generation and I wonder if they’re so mysterious or removed from the younger generations that the gap is just too wide to bridge. That’s where I come in.
You can see this in action on this blog. Y’all have read about these old ladies for six months now and some of you have become attached. You didn’t come here to read about 80 year old ladies but now you do and via me you get to experience them.
This may sound arrogant, I don’t know. I may sound humble to some of you but in either case, it is what it is. I do connect people who otherwise would not connect. I have come to understand this a lot better since I touched on it in 2006. I feel the energy of these ladies, or my husband’s energy or my sister’s energy or my friend, Ben’s energy come through me to be presented. It’s like being dealt an ace and having the ability to enlarge it, and broadcast it and multiply it’s impact or in some cases, deliver a certain message to just one person that came from another. Someone has to be the go-between and I think this is my calling, to be a bridge between the real and the ethereal.
I love hearing about your group! 🙂 This generation of people still have a lot to teach us, I think.
And you are right, you are linking what wouldn’t be linked otherwise.
Well, people have come to know and love and learn from my husband and he is definitely inaccessible. There have been others before in (on the blog) – Henry for example, have you read his writing?
But really this is a lot larger and it sure has opened up for me. I have been to some very strange places to get my information, I’ll tell you that. And the people I get my information from have also been to some pretty strange places so you see how this works.
I pass along knowledge and other forms of energy basically. I feel it run through me all the time. I can never do enough because no matter how much I communicate, it’s not even a drop in a bucket or a microdot of what there is but I do know I can do this and I do know that I should. I mean, I was born to do it, that’s all.
Well you talk about Mercury constantly being underestimated and then you prove to us the power of his abilities in embracing his qualities, linking us to an unseen world and to uniquely hidden knowledge ^_^
I have moon trine mercury and seeing others use their Mercurial qualities to build esteem and recognition gives me a real kick! 😉
In tarot Mercury is associated with the Magician and that’s what you are! You create magic using the tools of the world and the skills to wield them to create those bridges and help us cross into new worlds <3
Great post!
Elsa, you can learn a lot from these Ladies & if you are up front with them, (that you worry you may be blunt at times), I think they are all of an age where they can appreciate your honesty & cut you slack for it. You’ll all get used to each other & things’ll be fine =)You’re aspiring to be the best you can be- so you will be!
It’s so great that you have discovered what you’re here for & meant to be doing. We dick around wasting SO much time, trying to work it out! Now you can put all that energy into cutting to the chase… a thing we know you love.
& Good Luck towards your next B I G step 😉
I think about this a lot. I have mercury-neptune in the 12th and I couldn’t think of a more constructive use.
rock on! i love the benefits of elsa being a conduit between the real and ethereal!
Yes, I and thank you for it. And you are not judgmental! I feel like I can really feel how interested you are respectful of all kinds of people and experiences. You’re up for the job, obviously:)
My Granddaddy was well into his 60’s before I remember him much, too. I hadn’t thought consciously (12H Mercury, haha) much about that until right now, and the benefits that offers me that others might not have.
Chewy. 😀
@Shannon “Chewy” … that’s so … right.
Conduit work is powerful magic, I love reading and seeing you at your work and benefit from the way in which you do it. Without stopping the flow of your given ‘job’ connections are made.
You’re potent ground Elsa, that’s a great reason to invest silver and sweet peas where you be:))Leap on!
LXV
Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea,
But sad mortality o’ersways their power,
How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,
Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
O! how shall summer’s honey breath hold out
Against the wrackful siege of battering days,
When rocks impregnable are not so stout,
Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays?
O fearful meditation! where, alack,
Shall Time’s best jewel from Time’s chest lie hid?
Or what strong hand can hold his swift foot back?
Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid?
O! none, unless this miracle have might,
That in black ink my love may still shine bright.
oops-Shakespeare. On a sonnet jag.
Mercury aspected by Jupiter, either natally or by transit?
Our lives move real fast and your telling their stories are like jewels we would not see in our travels . luv it ! keep them smoke signals comming .
“Someone has to be the go-between and I think this is my calling, to be a bridge between the real and the ethereal.”
I’ve learned a lot from watching you over the years in that regard! Some spiritualists refer to it as channeling when they do seances. I think there’s no reason only the energy of the dead would be considered “channel-able.”
The marriage of air and earth… seems like a desert person thing.
