Why I describe my Spirits as my 'Comrades'?
I could have chosen guides, friends or allies, so why choose 'comrades'?
Everyone’s relationship with their spirits is different; it all comes down to personalities and path.
My spirit’s have walked me out of a path of chronic people-pleasing, anxiety, low self-worth, suicidal ideation and fear, onto one of freedom, self assurance and resilience.
Anubis took me by the hand and taught me skills in my lineage that I didn’t know existed. He helped me fight the disbelief; the feeling of ‘yeah, but why me? I am not good enough for this…’. He protected me from those in the worlds who tried to interrupt my development in real time.
Sekhmet grabbed me by the scruff of the neck and showed me that the world doesn’t end if I walk out of a shop without buying something, or pressed the brake pedal unnecessarily on a turn.
This was the level of anxiety I lived with.
She taught me boundaries by throwing me into a viper pit when it was necessary, tending to my wounds when they bit too deep. She showed me no mercy, and continues to hold me to the highest standards - pushing me when I don’t think I can go any further.
She will forever be one of my most valued Mothers. A crucial role model and part of me.
Exu and Pomba Gira walked me though love, sexuality and what being part of a family actually means. The helped me release the grief that had consumed me for decades and they taught me to dance again.
They threw me into the fire so I could burn of the chains that surrounded me.
Every single one of my spirits has fought for me, and I can feel it. I would not be alive without them.
The Fight has Changed
My path was never a light one. It has been dark, old and, at times, terrifying.
The animals that used to eat me in my nightmares every night as a child, are now the parts of me that make me good at my job.
Some of the dark entities that I used to see, weren’t dark but old, powerful and look pretty weird.
But there are still the bad guys.
And now instead of my comrades fighting for me, they fight alongside me so we can change the order of things in the physical reality.
Whether it’s helping someone heal after a divorce, clearing a house where a child is seeing things or dealing with simple spiritual interference, I know there is someone with their ear out just in case…..
This is why they are my comrades.
This is why I try to honour them with every choice I make.
