Darkness, Divinity, Disobedience Queerness is undeniably alive within darkness, divinity, and disobedience. We are thriving, even in the dormant times on the Wheel of the Year. When nothing is visible in our gardens, there’s still life dwelling below the dirt. Darkness is a necessary and sacred part of queer transformation. Queerness and Divinity are the same thing and cannot be separated. To embrace ones queerness is to become whole. Queerness is inherently Disobedient and can not be controlled. |
|
|
Darkness, Divinity, Disobedience is a newly created, on-demand webinar that will be available to Patreon members this December. $5 level will have access to the recordings. $10 level members will have access to the live zoom and class notes. | | |

Channeled By Ava: Pain as a portal for pleasure “I am hurting. My world has been filled with this liquid pain and I won't pretend I can put it to the side to make sure YOU feel seen by ME.” -Excerpt from a poem I channeled |
|

As I meditated on this channeling, my focus and attention was brought to the wormhole we are moving through. We are between eclipses as I write this, though you will be receiving this message as we reflect on the other side of this leap. I began to stretch and I leaned into the point where I started to feel pain in my tendon. As I zoomed in on this sensation, it occurred to me that the pain I felt was actually tension. There was a tightness, a stiffness. I envisioned this tension the same as a closed fist or a clenched jaw, and I began to slowly soften and open. I surrendered to the pain, and it melted into an almost orgasmic sensation. This is the magic of the south node in scorpio and north node in Taurus, if we soften and allow in the face of pain, death, and heartbreak we are guided to the realm of pleasure. Through my experimentation with this practice, I realized allowing and surrendering can be all consuming. For many of us, this is one of the first times welcoming pain rather than shutting the door in its face, and that can be overwhelming. It becomes increasingly important to surround yourself with people who allow you to put this focus on yourself and encourage you to feel into its depths. This is especially true as queer people, as many of us are re-learning how to feel seen by people close to us. Societally, we are encouraged to learn how to neatly package our emotions in a way where they can be put on a shelf if our help is needed. This is something I used to pride myself in. I had to face that pushing your feelings away from the now is not sustainable, and if my gender can not be wrapped neatly into a binary, why should my emotions? When you change, your environment can either change with you or you have to leave it behind. Sometimes our pain needs our undivided love and attention, and sometimes this means people will need to fall away from our lives. As you stretch into new depths this season, possibly initiated by deep seeded pains, I encourage you to make space for you. If there are factors of your life that can’t sustain your needs for self care, this is the time for them to rearrange. I hope you can meet this change with grace, and meet yourself with love. -Ava they/he/she Find me on instagram @avatheraven444 Tip me on venmo at Ava-schwartz-2 |

The Ace Of Swords: If the suit of Swords were a novel, it would be a psychological thriller. Line them up from ace to ten, and you have a story of miscommunication, heartache, anxiety, sharp wits, and even nightmares. But when the Ace of Swords stands alone, it gives us a green light for those messages of self-awareness we have been holding back from the world. Stop keeping your bright ideas to yourself and share them with those you trust. And if trusting feels too hard these days, how can you build a trusting relationship with yourself? To be Queer is to wield a sword of truth against all the lies that have been held against us. Just you, out there being yourself, is a radical act of disobedience. And I love you for it. |
