Elly will always direct you toward your real mission. Not your side quest, nor the slightly lazy version you’re secretly hoping to get away with.
This is about the one that matters. You know the one. Elly communicates across time and space through images and symbols that you already understand because they’re dear to your heart. She appears in your dreams with a message, passes through your mind like a lucid inspiration, or shows up in your time of need as a vision with the power to create real change. She is both the medium and the message, the artist and the art. Elly is the great reconnector.
Elly first contacted Caelum in a waking vision and told her where to look. What Caelum found was not what she expected, and yet it was what she needed.
Arriving in a rickety caravan in the woods, Elly became the bridge between the strangeness of Rasp the teacher, and the skepticism of Terra the big sister. In the end, Elly helped Caelum reconnect the long broken circuit of her Wee Witch ancestral lineage.
When the Elly card appears, it’s time for you to reconnect to something which is already yours. A source has been interrupted somewhere along the line. Perhaps it’s trust in your creative inspiration, or the unearthing of some ancestral wisdom? Your sense of play, or safety, or a belief in the efficacy of your own voice? Identify, if only by scent, a wellspring of power that is tugging at your heart to awaken. Now keep an eye out for who or what shows up to help you build a bridge to it. Keep an ear to the ground for things which seem to be repairing a circuit, kickstarting a vitality which is yet still hidden, but which draws you ever nearer.
