Synchronicities abound... Thank you for the Star Hag, dear Jen. I feel she has something in common with Ciarán's mother who dreamed of swallowing the star before his birth. Now, if only I can still my "everything everywhere all at once" so I can follow the threads. I think I may just pray for a dream.

Ah - what a balm to receive this star story in the threshold of the new moon...and have a sliver of time to properly sink in. Many, many thanks!

So incredible to see and receive this tonight. Thank you dearest Jen. Having spent a magical and joyous eclipse with family at and in the Irish Sea, I’m off outside now to the meteor shower to draw and create my star constellation. Thank You for this exquisite and divinely timed gift 🌟🌟🌟🙏🙏🙏💛💛💛

My friends daughter 's name is Realta and of my God it suits her. She is 14 now but when I help her in my arms when she was a newborn. I told her Mother Realta really suits her because she felt like she was from heaven. I still see her as my star. I think Realta and Realtinn or beautiful Irish names.

I adore these names too Julie Anne! It's like your little now bigger Realta came from the stars to your friend and to all who love her like you! ✨

Thank you for this post Jen, it has also come at a perfect time for me. It became overcast here in West Cork yesterday for the eclipse, but I felt it rolling towards complete dark stillness to stop briefly and back again to leave us in shrouded in otherworldly mist I love knowing that the stars are there shining above us and remember conceiving my daughter - feeling her arrival in a meteor shower - my Aisling. 🦋

Oh wow Marika this is so gorgeous to read - your beloved Aisling! It reminds me of Liadán where a star fell from the heavens while she was dreaming, travelling into her mouth, and from that star came Ciarán growing in her belly. 🌟

This quite touched my heart so so much:

The Star Woman shows, how through our creative imagination, we can be freed from bondage to a cyclic pattern each to live out his individual potential. Like the planets, we are all held within a specific orbit by a power beyond our control, but within our own prescribed boundaries, each of us destined to shine forth in a way uniquely our own.’

It's so beautiful, thanks a million for sharing Laura, and that entire book by Sallie Nichols is full of golden nuggets for the soul. ✨

Beautiful post and I love the tarot art by Leonora - the image actually takes me to a liminal space linked to a desert, interestingly.

Now that you share I can see a desert in the gold, thanks a million for illuminating this. Such magic.
