The Mirror

Message: Know thyself, self-examination, seeing who you really are

The Mermaids Sing: Water is a great mirror, and the darker it is, the clearer the reflections of the world around it will be. And so it is with life. The clear mirror we can look into will show us who we appear to be…but the dark mirror, metaphorically, is when life, or the sea, or our feelings become darker, more complex, sad, thoughtful, deep and at times, very painful. But it is at these times that we can see who we truly are-for under duress, our true characters can be observed. And sometimes, we do not always like the truth of what we see in this dark mirror. But the mermaid can help us with this, as she holds up a mirror, but a magical one, that not only shows us our appearance-it shows all of ourselves, our sweetness, our hurts, and our scars. In it, we may see what is hidden to the eye of the body, but known to the eyes of the soul. In dreams, these mirrors may appear, and in emotional times, when we realize that we are still hurting, or have wounds we have sought to cover up. There is no need to cover up or camouflage in this beautiful mirror. Nor is it right to judge the scars and woundings-or the beauty and the glory-they simply are, and by seeing clearly, especially in the dark mirror of the Great Mother Ocean, we can see who we are. While we swim in clear waters, we can see the light and the positive, but when we swim in dark waters, we can truthfully see so much of who we are, and make changes, adaptations, or come to accept the truth of who we are, without seeking to adjust. We come to self-love, self-knowledge, and self-healing.

Divination: It is time to gently, yet firmly see the truth about who you are, and to understand that who you are is not ugly, or lacking, but a truthful, beautiful, wonder-laden voyage into the soul…it is time to be shown what the eye cannot always see, but what the spirit has sensed…this may come through observations-loving words from friends whoa re truly able to see you, from a stranger who notices something that too many overlook, or it can come in a moment when you glimpse who you have become…dreams, visions, and flashes of intuition are also the mirrors that work with us at this time. Mirrors and who you appear to be will be coming up for you. Be sure to embrace the mirror and the magical mermaid’s tool as an ally, and wonders and healing will unfold.
