Mermaids and Earth Sanctuary

Hello beloveds!

Last weekend I and 7 of my mermaid buddies went to Whidbey island and stayed at Jill's moms house in Freeland. Near there is a fabulous sacred site called Earth Sanctuary. It's a self guided tour property of pathways to delightful and powerful spiritual installations set in a watery, live flow of run off coming from hills and landing in ponds that link up.

First we went to a vibrant Cretan labyrinth of salad and slate, purified and blessed one another at the entrance and proceeded to start our lives anew right then and there. Then we trekked over to a giant stone circle made of basalt columns where we charged up our blessed shells that bore wishes and blessings from our friday night ceremony. We left these shells at locations that felt powerful or meaningful to us.

I and a few others continued on the path to find a big beaver lodge in one of the ponds. How cool is that! All through this magical property are small stone portals and many spots for sitting and enjoying, praying or meditating. What a gift this family who created it have given us! There is a strong Buddhist and eastern feeling to the property, but the megaliths and other structures give a wonderful blend of pagan and native elements too. I can't wait to return!

Another highlight of the weekend was all of us mermaids dressing up and taking pics of each other as mermaids...what a fun time this was! I saw women transformed into juicy vamps with a silver tail!
