Whilst musing on the idea of which portal to use to enter Lemuria, I realised that I had, at some point in the fairly recent past, become estranged from my inner world/s. I have felt that lack of connection for a long while, deeply missing these lands and the people they are populated with, those folk who have so much to tell and to teach.
I realise now that that sense of dis-connection has been a longing to let my imagination soar again. I need to fly once more, I need to allow myself to descend into the earth and beyond – there are so many realms to discover, enjoy, be inspired by and, indeed, be tested by at times.
I know I withdrew, closed those ‘portals’ because of the discoveries I made on previous journeys – memories I had buried many, many years ago along with their associated emotions/scars etc. Those memories though are now set free – I am no longer held, caught in the closed traps of the past – they have all been opened – no more skeletons to scare me. I am free to let go and explore once again.
The dust and the cobwebs need to be cleared away so I will be carrying with me a rainbow feather duster along with all the keys to the doors I locked on the way in order to keep me “safe”. I no longer have anything to fear – the dark has been explored and exposed fully – that door is wide, wide open – the sun now shines there on a small curly-headed girlchild who plays happily and safely in the fields of wild flowers, watched over, in the safe keeping of her soul mother.
So, this is me, open, receptive and so grateful, standing at the gateway, ready to embark with my new-found friends, being led by a glorious and, I suspect, mischievous spirit – wonderful!!

Glad you’re ready for the mischief. We never know what to expect from L’Enchanteur when we set out on an adventure!

This is an exhilarating post Jill. Your enthusiasm is palpable and I am just delighted. Now be a good lass and make sure you put a copy of this on Enchanteur’s blog if you haven’t already. That way I will have a complete set of material on one blog. Just make a category for yourself and store it under that.
