Blending Colors and Lady Pink

It almost seems like the lessons that I’m learning from the colors are starting to blend together, building on what the others have already taught me. I’m not even quite sure if Lady Gold/Freya is done with me, though I made a beautiful necklace for her (once I get a decent photograph of it, I will post a picture of it) and started to learn to treasure certain things. However, it feels like a month is too short to truly learn this lesson, yet I’ve been passed onto Lady Pink. Who is loving and compassionate even as her energy brings up painful wounds and makes you face them.

And I’ve been hurting a lot as of late.

The interesting thing I’ve noticed is that my work with Pink seems to be related to my earlier work with Red, but going in deeper. This seems appropriate as pink is a shade of the color red. I wonder if the same thing will happen with gold and yellow, the latter of whom I have yet to work with.

The interesting things though is that while Red was very flirty and beautiful (appeared to me with gorgeous black curls and in a red dress), Pink is much more motherly. In some ways, she reminds me of all the Ladies of Compassion that appear throughout various religions. She doesn’t have as much as a visual impact on me as Red did. Also she has asked me not to make a beaded item for her, saying that the pink beads in the flower I made for Red is good enough.

(I am planning a piece that involves the color pink, but it’s not for my color work. I just want to make a cute pair of earrings inspired by Abby Scuito from NCIS, using some adorable bat findings that I picked up a few years ago from a yard sale.)

From Red to Gold

Working with Lady Red was…I didn’t have a lot of direct contact with her per se, but her influence was definitely felt in my life. A lot of what her energy seemed to focus on during my time with her was my pain and anger at the moment, as if I had a rather bad injury that was bleeding but in the emotional sense. It was more about experiencing and handling the emotions appropriately than anything else. I did not get much in the way of instruction from her. I did finish a lot of work, including doing some writing and finishing two beautiful beading pieces: a necklace dedicated to the Firebird and a red flower brooch, the symbolism of which I’m keeping to myself.

But I seemed to have passed whatever she had wanted of me and now I am onto working with the color gold. Freya, to whom I’ve been known to pray to from time to time, has decided to appear to me in the guise of Lady Gold or least has decided to take on the role for the moment. Her focus seems to be on how to treasure memories and feelings, even if things went bad afterwards. To see the good in things and to let go of the things that hurt you and to focus on the things that give you strength. It doesn’t mean ignoring pain or not feeling sad or angry. Instead the lesson is to not let those things cloud good experiences. That happiness can be found more than once and with more than one person and just because a person left does not mean that the good times you had before did not mean anything and are closed to you as something to pull strength from.

I’m not entirely sure if I’m getting what she’s teaching me across very well, but a lot of it can be related to the fact that Freya was never the kind of person who you could /keep/. She does what she wants and she does not let other people control her and her sexuality. Encounters with her may be brief or they may last a while, but she is not afraid to own herself and not let anyone else take possession of her. Many people may desire to possess her, but they cannot.

All I know for sure though is that she’s helping me let go and find peace and being okay with the things I’ve been struggling lately with, which can only be a good thing.

Passionate Red

Color work is turning out to be difficult for me to talk about.

Basically all I can say is that I spent a month with Lord Black and found that he wants me to continue working with him the whole time I’m working with the colors. And now I’m working with Lady Red, who is all about passion and more importantly how to appropriately express it and also how to manage it.

It’s a hard thing for me to put into words honestly.

One thing I’m doing though, is making one thing for each color. For the color black, I made the bracelet that you see in the picture to the side. A few months ago, I had taken up doing beadwork and it’s become a thing that I rather enjoy doing since then.

It’s really useful for making magical objects or objects of meaning. I’m pretty picky with jewelry, but now that I have my own ability to make it, I can make things that I like instead of looking and only finding things that aren’t quite right. Also, being the one who makes them makes them even more magical in my eyes because I put time and energy into it myself.
