Into the Mystic⁠

“Hark, now hear the sailors cry,⁠
Smell the sea, and feel the sky,⁠
Let your soul and spirit fly, into the mystic."⁠

I've been crossing paths with some fantastic creatures lately. Here's the most recent one: a stunning green and blue dragonfly who appears to be a Blue Emperor (Bloukeiser), a common species throughout South Africa. Absolutely gorgeous.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
As an omen or guide, Dragonfly can bring transformation:⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
"Dragonfly medicine always beckons you to seek out the parts of your habits which you need to change. Have you put on too much weight, or have you started to look like a scarecrow? Have you tended to the changes you have wanted to make in your life? If you feel the need for change, call on Dragonfly to guide you through the mists of illusion to the pathway of transformation.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
"See how you can apply the art of illusion to your present question or situation, and remember that things are never completely as they seem."⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
~ "Medicine Cards" by David Sams & David Carson (one of my go-to guides when I'm looking for some inspiration)⁣⁣⁣

“People say, 'I'm going to sleep now,' as if it were nothing. But it's really a bizarre activity. 'For the next several hours, while the sun is gone, I'm going to become unconscious, temporarily losing command over everything I know and understand. When the sun returns, I will resume my life.'⁣
⁣
“If you didn't know what sleep was, and you had only seen it in a science fiction movie, you would think it was weird and tell all your friends about the movie you'd seen.⁣
⁣
“‘They had these people, you know? And they would walk around all day and be OK? And then, once a day, usually after dark, they would lie down on these special platforms and become unconscious. They would stop functioning almost completely, except deep in their minds they would have adventures and experiences that were completely impossible in real life. As they lay there, completely vulnerable to their enemies, their only movements were to occasionally shift from one position to another; or, if one of the 'mind adventures' got too real, they would sit up and scream and be glad they weren't unconscious anymore. Then they would drink a lot of coffee.'⁣
⁣
“So, next time you see someone sleeping, make believe you're in a science fiction movie. And whisper, 'The creature is regenerating itself.’”⁣
⁣
