Our kitchen sink clogged last week.
Hobbit warned me. While I was on my walk with Tosha, he sent me a picture of the un-draining sink, but by the time I got home, it had drained. I ran the garbage disposal, did the dishes, and all seemed fine.
Until an hour before our dinner guests were set to arrive. I started the dishwasher, and started cooking. When I stuffed the veggie scraps off the cutting board into the garbage disposal, started the faucet and turned on the grind, the water and food shot up the other side of the sink. And both sides filled up with water, soap, and food scraps.
That was not how it was supposed to work.
I watched as ground up garbage disposal food floated around both sides of the sink, very very very slowly draining, and I thought, that’s exactly how I have been feeling lately. Not completely clogged, but definitely not flowing.
For the last several weeks I had felt foggy and sluggish. While I had been writing, it had been a long slow process. While I had plenty to be happy and joyful about, I hadn’t really been feeling the bubbles of elation that I usually would. Things in my creative-happy system just weren’t flowing.
Fortunately our dinner guests were understanding, and also offered us a referral to a plumber hand-e-man who was available the next day. Said Hand-E-Man was able to clear the clog to the point where our pipes are flowing better than they ever have.
Within minutes of him packing up his tools to leave, I suddenly felt a flush of Flow in my own system.
I literally did a happy dance, and realized I hadn’t danced, not even a little mini-happy-dance, in months.
Lesson - How 💦 Water Magick Heals
Water is about FLOW.
If we don’t have a healthy flow of water in our lives and bodies, it will show up as feeling clogged and blocked in our worlds.
Here is a just a short list of places in my life I was feeling blocked in the weeks leading up to our clogged kitchen sink, and how they cleared within the week of Mr. Hand-E-Man’s visit.
Having started Substack in January, throughout February I felt a sluggishness in my writing. Articles were taking 2-3x longer to compose, and not feeling as vibrant. I struggled to come up with my theme of the month for March.
As our pipes were getting cleared, I was able to write, record, and post my March Magick Masterclass in half the time it usually takes me.As I was spending a lot of my time in the learning curve world of Substack, I told Hobbit I longed for a “partner” or a peer to “play” in Substack with me. Someone else who is relatively new - and just as enthused - about the platform as me.
The day after our pipes cleared, an herbalist friend (Mesquite Garden on Substack) approached me with a collaboration project, and she decided to start a Substack as well. We are playing Substack together!In January we discovered a mold/insulation/ventilation issue in our attic, which meant I was lamenting about needing to make more money. I had applied for a few part-time jobs, but wasn’t seeing/feeling much movement in the area of income growth.
Since the pipes cleared, I had two job interviews. Both were very animated and exciting conversations. One even asked me to consider a higher-level position than the one I had applied for. Plus, Hobbit was able to secure a low-interest loan to cover the cost of the attic repair!
Prior to the “great clog of 2024” I wasn’t paying attention. I wasn’t mindful of all the signs of CLOGGING that were appearing in my life, so evidently I needed an expensive home repair to wake me up to getting myself back in the flow.
As you know, I live with Hobbit, who is the kind of Joy, Laughter, Goofiness, Creativity, and Go-With-The-Flowness of Life. He’s been doing his bestest to goof-ball me back into the joy zone.
But, I wasn’t having it.
I hadn’t been laughing with him. Not even pretend-laughing at the jokes I didn’t get.
I hadn’t been playing along with his goof-ball ideas.
I blame the perimenopause…but that’s another topic, for another month.
The truth is, I had lost touch with the MAGICK of water.
I hadn’t been engaging, respecting, appreciating, or valuing water in my life enough.
So Giggle Bumps gave me a cold shower, in the form of a clogged kitchen sink.
And I listened.
I had to.
I didn’t just pay a plumber to get the kitchen sink flowing again,
I got down and dirty and serious about my WATER MAGICK MAINTENANCE RITUALS.
And I forced myself to flow with Hobbit’s funnies.
It worked.
I’m flowing now!
Water and the Sacral Chakra
Water is the natural element of the Sacral Chakra.
Your sacral chakra is a massive intersection of nerve pathways that lives in the center of your pelvis, embraced by your hip bones and your psoas muscles. This part of your body holds your bladder, lower intestine, and reproductive organs. All of these organs have one thing in common, they hold and let go.
Your Sacral Chakra is about creating a balance of holding on and letting go.
When you are out of balance with FLOW in your life, it is likely because you are either holding onto somethings (like my kitchen clog) too much, or you are letting go of things too easily (like having diarrhea).
To get a healthy balance of holding on and letting go is to get a healthy FLOW in life.
A MAGICKAL relationship with water can help you to balance your Sacral Chakra.
A Story of Water Magick Healing - A Walk In The 🌧️ Rain
I once met a friend for a walk. She was going through a REALLY hard time. Everything in her life seemed to be stuck, and things just kept getting worse and worse. She was working on her dissertation, but nothing in her writing or research was flowing, and everything else in her life matched that stuckness. Nothing she did seemed to help.
I suggested we go for a walk, and at the very least, I could be a compassionate listening ear.
When we started the walk, it was a beautiful partly cloud spring afternoon. But within less than 10-minutes as she was telling me all the woes of her life, the storm clouds came rumbling in, FAST. It was as if the weather was mirroring her thoughts and words.
Before we knew it, we were caught in a full-on thunderstorm, with heavy sheets of rain coming down. A good half-mile from home, we had no choice but to just walk through it. Puddles gathered off the edge of every curb, forcing us to step into ankle deep water. It didn’t let up. It didn’t pass through as quickly as it came. It rained, hard, the whole walk. I encouraged her to continue talking, to let the rain wash it all away. By the end of the walk, she couldn’t keep talking.
Rather, we both just laughed.
By the time we got home, we were as soaked as if we had jumped in the lake we were walking around. Over the next few days, she noticed a significant lift in her moods and energies.
