I was on with a member of the T.I.P crew recently, expressing my opinions and bewilderment (pouting, essentially) about why energetic beings having a human experience continue to agree on this gnarly hallucination of a timeline wherein, among MYRIAD outrages, not nearly enough of us are accessing our intuitive abilities. (I was also grumping about how I still can’t move things with my mind unless under great duress, but that’s a story for another day – and probably Patreon.)
And my girl goes: “Ilka, people are scared. I was nervous asf before my first session. You forget that you’re used to floating through space and having conversations with beetles, but Barry O’Larry dunno what’s going down once you get all up in his chakras. So he’s a little spooked. On top of that, you’re not a flimflam artist and people sense that what you’re gonna tell them will be legit, so it’s extra unnerving.” And I, simultaneously displeased by and willing to accept the salience of her point, made noises of begrudge, because my dream of marginalized people and their accomplices knocking back oppressors with our mind beams continues to be delayed and I have patience challenges. <fights air> Plus this entrepreneurship jam continues to be wild, y’all. <plays singing bowl, trusts process>. Anyway, because I love confirmation, the very next day, after performing a fairly mundane magical task while in the presence of another favorite whom I clown regularly because they refuse to book a proper reading and we all know they want one – the following exchange occurred:
Them: Did you just [redacted] with your witch powers?
Me: I did. Now you try.
Them: <balks, attempts thing, is immediately successful>
Me: You do know you also have witch powers.
Them: I know but I’m scared of them.
Me: Well you just used ’em and we’re all still here.
Them: You hush, Ilka.
Me: <twinkles>
The moral(s) of the story?
1. Fear not your witch powers, when used responsibly, they can change your life. Besides, now’s as good a time as any to access your clair-cetera abilities. See earlier comment re: the more wack aspects of “reality”.
2. Book a session. Remember, I’m basically an energetic translator, so I only receive information (both human and Higher) you are willing to share; if I snatch your wig, it’s technically because you asked me to. Plus: I won’t remember what we talked about after we’re done, so … built-in security, yo.
3. It’s time. Your meta muscles want that work. Let’s get after it.
