Not a king, neither a warrior you shall be.
Saviour of the damned.
Hope of the non-believers.
Light of revolution.
A victor, you shall be.
Survivor and creator of life.
You shall be the invisible strength.
The force to make them to carry on.
Sigyn, Goddess of Constancy you shall be.
Sigyn’s Hymn
Without constancy, there’s no evolution. Without evolution, there’s no change. Without change, there’s no life.

Wanted to share this helpful tool with anyone who needs it. A lot of people have a hard time putting their feelings into words and identifying what emotions they are feeling. This is called a feeling wheel. It can help you get to the core emotion you are experiencing and help you name each feeling when you’re overwhelmed with many emotions

No heart should know.Hail to you, Sigyn!
Victorious woman
And faithful companion.Hail to you, Sigyn!
May we all know
Your compassion.Given freely and out of love.
After a year of courtship, a legal union dressed as pirates, and 8 tumultuous years…my marriage is ending. The thing that was never going to happen to me is happening. It was my call, but that doesn’t make it painless. It doesn’t mean I don’t love him, either. It just means that living conditions became unbearable for me and I had to make a change.
