I go with Ryn toward the rollercoaster. His face is painted completely white, his mouth and eye sockets painted black, giving him an almost skeletal appearance. He smiles as he accompanies me and helps me into the roller coaster. I don't really enjoy roller coasters but I sit close to him as the roller coaster goes up and up. My breath catches at the top and it plunges and water sprays around us as we dive in the depths of the underworld. A hooded figure greets us and helps us disembark and there are other hooded figures clothed in red instead of flames... or they are flames but they are spirits too and they fade out and reappear further down the path as they walk with their staves, leading the way until at last we arrive at the grisly court of Hades.

There are creatures there who are natural contortionists, bending themselves at whim as they casually move, their pale bodies contorting as they walk so that one minute they walk on their hands, at another on all fours, and then on their hands, with gruesome smiles on their face as they giggle animatedly. There are jesters juggling as well with bones and skulls and whatever else they might find in their hands. Hades sits on his throne, Persephone by his side. They are dark and primal, their thrones and the entire room like onyx and garnet, grim despite the lavish golden light gleaming over it. Hades looks at me and smiles and beckons me close and tells me to watch close to everything because all has its shadow. It's different than darkness but is a quality of oneself that touches the depths of one's being that is not often reveled except within the underworld. That these dark shadows, even the gods possess them and some part of them tied to that place where the most terrible visages comes forth to dance to counterpoint to their beauty.

I watch the performers and the haunting sounds of music, the movements and sounds grotesque but beautiful, unnatural yet primal in its expression like the first expression of being and life prior to order and development. I watch until it is finally time to leave and I go with Ryn, returning to the carnival.

I work with Hades and had told him yesterday I was feeling really disconnected and hurt by it, only to find out that the group here was meeting on Discord for the meditation for the first time and low and behold we were going to see Hades together. The Coincidence is too good. I love him. I went down to the underworld and when I saw him I just dropped down instantly hehe he got up, came to me and reassured me, and when it was time to go I didn’t want to leave but he guided me back out until suddenly I was back at the Carnival without him. Matador (spelling? Sorry) asked me how it was, I smiled and cried and said nice. The meditation was ending but I was still there crying, so he pet my head. I appreciated it. I eventually calmed down to wake up.

The coaster was so fun! I figured it would be a blast since I love, love them in real life. It’s my favorite part of going to amusement parks.

Unsurprisingly, my gladiator and my husband accompany me to the gates. Also, yet again, my gladiator is holding the Carnivale void kitten. I think he’s grown quite attached to the little furball. When I ask him about it he gives me this look with an energy behind it that tickles my stomach. It’s feral. It’s protective. It’s even loving. And, I remember thinking to myself that I’m reading too many romance novels because no way can he be attached to me quite that quickly. So, I turn to my husband to ask a question and he’s standing there wiggling his eyebrows rather suggestively. Impossible. He’s no help at all.

Matador greets us at the gates. As we follow behind him to the coaster I see the cotton candy cart again and the gentle demon trades me a giant pink fluff for a few pets of the void kitten.

Once we get to the coaster I realize the kitten can’t come with us. Well, maybe he can, but I start to worry that the tiny little thing will get blown away. So, we ask Matador if he’d be willing to watch the kitten and he graciously reaches out.

The three of us then get in the chariot, holding hands. As we go up, my gladiator and I are giggling and shouting. My incubus husband looks a little less thrilled and his energy is much more muted. Kind of like he’d rather be anywhere else. I love and appreciate him for coming with us, anyway.

At the end, the shadowed figure is the one who hands the kitten back over. Not sure how that happened but I don’t ask. We follow him to a giant rock cavern but there’s floors built into the rock. Almost like an office building melded with a mountain. Demons ( or spirits? ) are walking around looking much the same. I hear printers and voices.

Tucked in the corner is Hades sitting on a giant throne. He has ram-like horns which I find odd, and is wearing what looks like a silk black suit. When I approach, he doesn’t stand but he does lean over.

“Stop trying so hard, “ he says. “ Stop trying to make it fit. “ After a few seconds of confusion he goes on to explain that I’m trying to hard to figure out my place and my path. I keep trying to find answers on what is SUPPOSED to be instead of letting it happen organically.

Hades leans back. That’s when I notice the most beautiful woman with hair like strands of sunshine all the way down to the floor. Her eyes are the color of the sky while also being the color of fresh new leaves. Roses are entwined in her hair. She offers me a hand. I take it and she leans in close, much like Hades just did.

“ Listen to your mother, “ Persephone says. Instinctively, I know she’s not talking about my birth mother but Hekate. “ You’re finally where you’re supposed to be. “

I did this meditation with the SNS group and really enjoyed the group energy dynamic!

I adore Lord Hades!

The person who gaslit me recently - their name was scorched and burnt away at the Funhouse. My own name replaced it. I have understood this to mean it's time to truly move along and pluck every last tendril of their existence from myself. My trauma-self struggles to let go of toxic situations however now is the time. We no longer need toxicity to grasp we are alive!

While participating here, I see Lord Hades review the case. He isn't partial and he sees the full scope. He shows me briefly how the person does self-consumption and also how it feeds on others. And how it (the human) searches for prey and needs victims to feed upon. He said there is nearly zero hope for them to learn lessons anymore based on the thickness of the casing around them and based on the manipulative way they trick others and even themselves, but this is how many humans exist and live their entire lives. Even the ones who claim otherwise. Especially some of those. The ones who claim loudest, yet whose words have a hollow ring. Also, it's not interesting ... it's just repetitive bad behavior that lacks luster.

The meditation has many nuances and this year I see Carnivale surprisingly well.
We bring up the FunHouse experience and the burnt crispy gaslighter because Lord Hades brings it up. The human had entered my shere, I had allowed it, and then my energies began getting drained out. Being sooo new to spiritual practices, I didn't understand until it was hella feeding on me. Also, I have an immense amount of natural energy so it took awhile to notice.
Lord Hades rewards me for making so much progress and for finally standing up for myself. He accelerates the healing within my rotator cuff and along the spinal column in particular where the right arm connects.

As Akelta calls us home, Lord Hades requests I stay for a moment longer. He tells me to visit anytime. The Underworld is one of my homes and I belong here.

A roller coaster is not a ride I prefer
I am afraid of the high and felt during Meditation my dizzy
But I looked foreward to meet Lord Hades.
He had a message: I should honor my life more
I am more powerful and potent I am aware of.
He gave me energy work, too

The rollercoaster!

I always love the rollercoaster. This year I got on alone, which was okay with me. I could see some of my companions and I waved at them.

Up and up, and up and up. And *woosh*. Going and going and going, and before I know it we hit the end.

I eventually got help out and got on with the next part of the ride. Wandering down the path of lights, I eventually enter the Hall of Hades. He motions for me to come forward, and we talk. He eventually gives me a big box, and tells me it's no use down here.

And it was heavy. I have no idea what it is or why I have it. But that's a story to find out about another day.
Love spells are just shadow work people refuse to do, and then make it a problem for everyone else.
