Closing the Book on 2017, December 18: July 2017 taught me… The Hermit from Everyday Witch Tarot by Deborah Blake and Elisabeth Alba.

July 2017 taught me… to “accentuate the reasoning with the soul.” Yup. July was about faith and trust, and lack of faith and trust, in all that is wholly and holy. Among challenging months, it was a most challenging month, because…

Back in March, I was shown a date on a calendar in conjunction with my mom. The date: July 28. The energy and message associated with it: “passage,” aka death. That presence I mentioned a couple posts back began in March and escalated for the sake of sanity. Only five of my soul sisters knew about the message and were sworn to secrecy.

When July arrived, everything that had been brewing was at “fever pitch.” I was present to the point of full-on withdrawal from all except immediate family. I was deep in soul energy because it was the only thing that made sense and felt grounded, especially after Mom’s cardiologist scheduled her for a cardioversion… on July 28. (A cardioversion is an electrically-manipulated stopping and restarting of the heart to reset its rhythm.)

It was “brutiful” - beautiful and brutal. The 28th came and I accompanied Mom to her procedure, soul first. The cardioversion was executed. They stopped Mom’s heart (death?) and restarted it. She was fine, even if the procedure wasn’t successful in correcting her heart rhythm.

July concluded with an intake of breath in that hyper-present, hyper-vigilant state.
