These still unravelled bindings ripple out influencing our current lives.
Allegiances bind us not only in the material realms but spiritually and energetically.

And so Gatekeeping is a natural phenomenon born out of respect and honour for purity and sacredness. We ask permission, without expectation that in the asking it will be given.

And so my relationship with Salmon has changed … Salmon has become an ally, framing perfectly these past years of that transition from perceived struggle to grace.

It was like going through a time portal.
