Our next Sisters of Fierceness sabbat celebrates Challenge and Opportunity.
We're in the midst of the doldrums of summer. Everyone is hot and irritable. The air and energy seems stagnant and it's like moving through a morass of mud to get anything done. Then again, the sky is blue, the air is warm, everyone starts heading outside to enjoy their summer breaks (or inside to enjoy the beautiful, beautiful air conditioning in some parts of the country!).
So much of how we experience life is determined by how we choose to frame it. It's a truism that everyone seems to have a variation on, that challenge and opportunity are two sides of the same coin. Where there's a challenge, there's an opportunity, and vice versa.
Our Goddess for this challenge is Kali - fierceness embodied! When the world turns upside down, Kali is present deconstructing and then helping us reconstruct, showing us the friction where things are no longer working, helping us through the fires of transformation. Safety is comfortable. If we are going to make change in our world, we need to be uncomfortable and get up and change those uncomfortable things. Kali shakes up our safe spaces and helps us create brave spaces where true transformation can take place.
What is your challenge? What is your opportunity? Where are your safe spaces? And where are your brave spaces?
