Sometimes, when we ask for messages or signs from the Divine, we get a straightforward or obvious answer. Sometimes we don’t, and it can be extremely frustrating. Even priestesses occasionally have struggles when it comes to hearing (or not, in this case) from the Gods and Goddesses.
Many of you know that, before I became a priestess and widened my focus, I was a devotee of the Morrigan. While I now include some other deities in my practices, I still pray to the Great Queen every night and I turn to her for answers about personal matters. We already have a well-established relationship, and (normally) communication is relatively smooth.
So I am sure you can understand the frustration I was feeling yesterday. Before I slept the night before, I had asked the Morrigan to send me a message about the Temple Project, specifically about the difficulties I was having with fundraising. I awoke yesterday morning with no message.
I kept my eyes and ears open throughout the day, and I still did not see or hear any message. In the evening, I tried a guided meditation that I have used successfully in the past, and the only result was a feeling of warmth and strength. While I was happy to feel somewhat renewed after a challenging day, it wasn’t a message (or at least not the kind of message I was searching for).
My final attempt at communication was an Oracle Card reading, and the message was to basically rest, trust myself, and save my energy to fight another day. I was discouraged, but I finally had a message that was harder to ignore. I had to take a step back and trust that the Morrigan had it all under control.
When I woke up this morning, the Temple Project had received a generous donation, from someone who (if I remember correctly) is also a devotee of the Morrigan. I’m not going to lie, I cried with gratitude. Not only did I get my answer, but there was a kind person out there who had enough faith in both me and the Temple Project to make such a donation. The Great Queen was telling me loud and clear that She would not ask of me something that could not be achieved and that She would be standing with me during this journey.
So I guess this is a reminder for all of us that messages can (and do) come in ways you do not expect, and that our Gods and Goddesses will make themselves known when they are ready.
Don’t give up hope; your message may already be on its way!
