When we think of grey we wouldn’t be too far off to think of rigor mortis. Stuckness. Gripping. Things too deflated of energy to
even begin to know how to change. That’s the kinda energy that clung to every surface in the Grey House. The kind of sickly enchantment that gripped every bit of liveliness and joy that came through the Grey House door.
When the Sibylant Sisters cast their first spell, they summoned something unexpected. It wasn’t a big beast armed and ready to fight the dark forces that enshrouded the Grey House. Instead it was the ineffable, fluid, elusive magic of letting go.
Through its softness, its billowing, floating, ever-moving nature, the rainbow steam clears away stuckness and eases us in to the flow of change as the only thing that is constant.
Its prismatic hues nourish us, each in their own way. A blue that tenderly holds the grief of loss. A yellow that giggles in the face of fear. A shock of green here to remind us that spring persists.
If you’ve pulled this card, an ebullient rainbow of steamy dreamy supercharge is floating your way, offering to shift and soften what binds you. Allowing you to let go, and to trust that the space left behind by what is cleared away will once again be filled with light.
