My somewhat invisible friends

I love my spirit friends. I think they're great, and they certainly make my world a more interesting place. I catch glimpses of them everywhere, usually in random patterns or in shapes on things. I'm always listening, because they usually have lots of great things to share with me. If I'm appreciative to them, they'll sometimes help me out with things.

Disney's Beauty and the Beast, despite all of its awful values it teaches to young women about domestic abuse, has one part that simply delighted me: the singing household items. What a delightful world it is when any object can tell you anything you need, if you just accept the fact that it has a voice, a spirit, and a breath of its own? Many of my familiar beloved surroundings, whether they are man-made or born in the natural world, have names and faces.

Some days, I can be somewhat distracted and the spirits may not be so clear to me. On those days when I can't see the spirits so clearly, I'll just talk to things anyway. If I keep talking, eventually they will respond. They always do, because they're always there. It's just my lack of vision that sometimes keeps me from seeing them.

Can you tell me what kind of things these spirits share with you?

Usually, they help me when I need a question answered. I've gotten insights from them when I am stuck on something I'm working on, like code or a creative project. I've gotten insights when I've had to deal with a difficult person or situation.

I also get insights from them when I am working on creative projects. Someone will show me something that will help me overcome that creative block, or will lead me to a new idea.

I weave the forces of nature. I speak to the spirits. I enchant the future and divine the unknown. I dance in the moonlight and sing to the stars. I am a witch.
