Having said that this is the crone of summer time, so her darkness is tempered by the warmth and strength of the daytime sun.
As we descend into the landscape of our inner cave we carry with us a soft firelight to push back some of the shadows.

She knows the cool night air is on its way and that there is no hurry, all she need do is stretch her beautiful and powerful body and allow the heat and rest to replenish her like a hot bath in winter. Make time for yourself this week, find the spaces to sleep if you need to and postpone any mental gymnastics until the maiden returns next week.
