During my New Moon ceremony I pulled the Bat card. Bat medicine is rebirth through shamanic death. On this hike I had the realization that I am prepping for this shamanic death and going to Canada will be the ritual. Entering the darkness, the cold. Hana is here to help me prepare, to integrate all forms of my past self and be supported and challenged all at once. To keep it light and remember the pieces that I want to be reborn as Emma and the pieces that will and must die.
