Astrological Ramblings
One of my favourite constellations is the Cygnus ~ A northern constellation lying on the plane of the Milky Way, deriving its name from the Latinized Greek word for swan. The swan is one of the most recognizable constellations of the northern summer and autumn, it features a prominent asterism known as the Northern Cross (in contrast to the Southern Cross). Cygnus was among the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains...

Awake in Purple Dreams
(Image created via Polyvore)
When we two partedIn silence and tears,Half broken-hearted,To sever for years,Pale grew thy cheek and cold,Colder thy kiss;Truly that hour foretoldSorrow to this!
The dew of the morningSunk chill on my brow;It felt like the warningof what I feel now.Thy vows are all broken,And light is thy fame:I hear thy name spokenAnd share in its shame.
They name thee before me,A knell to thine ear;A shudder comes o’er me-Why wert thou so dear?They know not I...

Mythology ~ White Horse
The White Horse
White horses have a special significance in the mythologies of cultures around the world. They are often associated with the sun chariot, with warrior-heroes, an end-of-time saviour, but other interpretations exist as well.

From earliest times white horses have been mythologized as possessing exceptional properties, transcending the normal world by having wings (e.g. Pegasus from Greek mythology), or having horns (the unicorn). As part...

Research: What does being an HSP - Empath - INFJ mean?
What is an empath?
Being an empath is when you are affected by other people’s energies and have an innate ability to intuitively feel and perceive others. Your life is unconsciously influenced by others’ desires, wishes, thoughts, and moods. Being an empath is much more than being highly sensitive and it’s not just limited to emotions.
