This time out I thought it might be interesting to think about what we mean by intuition. I imagine most readers will count intuition among the most important guides along the spiritual path. But what is it?
I like the way you describe the value of oracles and divination. It doesn’t enhance reality itself - only my awareness of reality and all its facets! When I tell myself I just want to BE the intuitive Priestess-Witch archetype I can experience such frustration and confusion in this area. To your point…. When I slow down, shed the mind, and simply notice the life around me I realize I am that and can channel it anytime. It’s a lesson I have to learn and re-learn all the time. This is such a beautiful topic and not talked about enough - thanks for diving into it!
In Magik, when we cast a spell, we are always to make our petition in the present tense. If we say "I will be rich, famous, find love, conquer my enemy", the "will" sets it ever into the future where it will always remain. Likewise, "wanting" to be any thing or any one at all has the effect of separating us in time from our goal. You are wise to see that you already ARE the one you seek. And yes, learning this again and again is a life' time's work (maybe more than that). Perfect is not a destination, it is a direction that moves us toward a horizon that moves with us as we go. Practice DOES NOT make perfect, it makes us more ourselves.
