Thanks Mystress for writing this post, and thanks Tracy for sharing it.

I keep meaning to post to this list whenever a post draws something
out in me, and then I sit down and write through it, and get
through whatever was getting mirrored or evoked...
and then don't send what I've posted
because I feel "done" with whatever I wrote about. Also, sometimes
I feel kind of fragile around whatever it is, and I am afraid someone will
respond in a way that hurts my way oversensitive feelers.

I did a tarot reading for myself over last weekend and the card
revealing my "shadow self" was the high priestess. And the card
showing my deepest fears was the hanged woman/witch. It
is not hard for me to see how I'm repressing
and disowning my high priestess aspect,
if my fear of being witchhunted is very strong- as it is.

Lately I've been doing the thing where I assume every relationship
and conversation primarily reflects "me"; this seems like a very egocentric
way to look at the world but it is intensely revealing. Turns out that
the traits that bug me most about my two best friends, I have still got
myself and these traits are holding me back. I've
been externalizing my inner struggle every time I've struggled to cope
with the behaviors of my two friends- and struggled to understand them.

This practice hasn't shed any light directly on how to go with the repressed
high priestess/witch hunt fears, unfortunately.
