Part of knowing yourself is understanding your anatomy and physiology. That is to say, knowing our Parts and
understanding how they function. While it helps to have a basic understanding of our physical bodies, understanding
our energetic anatomy and physiology is equally important. We are not just physical bodies, we are also
minds, hearts, souls, and shadows.
I have been learning about all my parts (including my body)
for quite a while now, and I have become acutely aware of a particular truth
about how my Magickal Self functions. Specifically, I have become aware that
when my heart is not open, my magick is impotent. I still have knowledge, and I even retain
access to communication, my mind still works but, I have no access to my
power. I cannot FEEL. I cannot feel inspiration, or imagination, or
desire, or passion, or pleasure, or joy, or sorrow, or anger, or love, or power. When the gate of my heart is closed, I am not
fully awake, or alive.
My Heart is the gateway to those other parts of me, the
ones that are essential to life and to magick.
All my parts must be engaged for me to live and to fulfill my
purpose. I cannot bypass my heart. In these past few years, I have come to know
how wonderful life can be when my heart is open. It is WHO I am. I am supposed to be a woman who lives life
with her heart wide open. That is who I
was always supposed to be. I have
rediscovered that woman and remembered her over these past years. It is my intention to live that life, inspired, empowered, and following my open
heart. So Mote it Be.
