MAKE A WISH: Now is the time to stop all you are doing and take a moment to deeply, creatively, fervently imagine what it is you would most like to bring to life within your world. Dare to dream and to wish and to know what it is you want. For if you do not define it for yourself, dear one, you can be sure that you will be as a leaf in a stream, and you will be taken in the direction and towards the outcomes that others decide for you. Now is the time to take your own destiny back into your own hands and make a wish – just as you did when you believed, when you were a child, before the world of adults and their jaded practicality made you shrink into yourself, only asking for a little, in order to avoid disappointment. This dragon friend of the Kitsune has opened the gates for you now, friend, and in this moment, this dragon invites you to make a wish. To be daring with your wish. To go back into the true heart of yourself and peel back the layers until you find the dream that your most authentic self has kept alive for you. And bring it forth now.
Do not diminish yourself, dear one – for there are a thousand others in the world who will line up to stunt your passions. Be your own hero – stand beside yourself and make a wish, now, in this moment, for this cosmic gateway will not stay open forever. And be, dear one, as the grail, turned upwards, ready to receive. For even the most holy of vessels cannot hold blessings unless it is upright. Be receptive and believe in your own good fortune and this moment of blessings, and do not delay in sending your wish forth into the golden heart of the great and mysterious Universe, who in this moment, is allied with your energy.

RITUALS AND OFFERINGS: There is a time to work alone, and a time to join and raise power with others – this is that time, dear one. It is time to make a pilgrimage with like-minded others to a sacred place with a goal – this place could be near or far, but it must be to a place which holds the enchantments of the in-between. You must step beyond the everyday and become a part of the powers of the otherworld for a time, in order to bring more of that magic through to the everyday world in which you reside. When you do this, be it alone or with others, you will be returning the light to the world, reminding others of the power of hope, and restoring a sense of the sacred to your own self. It is time to bring the light back to the world, and to offer it up for others to make use of, however they wish. It is time for you to undertake this pilgrimage and to step away from the structure of the everyday, from all the things that seem to define us, and become what divines us – what makes us closer again to our true Spirit.
Light a candle, go to a temple, visit a grove, a sacred pool, a quiet place where the Divine whispers through the trees, and with grace, humility, and awareness make your offering to the great spirits all about us. When you do this, the borders and the barriers between the world of magic and the ordinary world will thin until they vanish, and in one beautiful expanse of time, all will be one, all will be beautiful, and all will be as it truly is, once again. Let there be listening and reverence and quietness in your footsteps. Let your sense of self fall away, and let the otherworld speak to you, so that you become once again part of the light of the world and ease the suffering of all those who have fallen into the traps of lost hope, denial of Spirit, and forgotten wisdom. Bring it back, bright soul, with the simple ritual you now will make. And when you do this, the Kitsune will be with you, invisible as air, as present as the scent of flowers, as real as the blessed earth, herself.
