If I haven't mentioned it yet, let me take the time to say that for my Protagonist of Lady Agape & The New Dimension I am taking her through the journey of the Major Arcana Cards of the tarot deck. This is a decision that I'm not regretting but it is one that I'm having to use my creativity in ways I've previously ignored. Besides her story is just one layer of the project, the other main characters are using the traditional hero journey, so I really can't overthink this . . . can I? I think I may be because Agape's story line is causing me to stand near the edge of the pool debating whether I'm going to jump in or not. In the current location of my manuscript, Agape is on her way to talk with Pastor Gideon. Now Gideon isn't a Hierophant, no pope or pope-like character to say the least. Gideon does however represent the person who is about to acknowledge that Agape is divinely prepared to accomplish her upcoming journey to the cradle of Africa. I mean after all she did win her trip to the middle east, to walk the lands of the Christian Bible, with divine timing. But like me, Agape deep down doesn't have a clue what shes doing, how could she, she's never done anything like this before. Meaning her self-appointed side quest on the television station's dime cannot go as she plans because, again, she doesn't know what the hell she's doing. But like most of us when in the fool's position, she's following her plan and minding her own business until she meets a young avatar ( a man who happens to looks like an actor she's dreamed of meeting since they were children) who happens to convinces her to just walk in the beach water for one last time before she leaves Cleveland. Agape, following her her, goes in and is pulled under the water moments after a little splashing by this man. When she comes back up she's in a different dimension (you know the New Dimension). In other words she never makes it to the middle east; but the things that Gideon gives her are relevant. They play an important role in her journey of saving the incarnation of herself known as Connor Stone. Anyway all this, this planning one trip and having to take another because Spirit brings you in the waters of transformation, got me thinking- am I ready? This manuscript transmutation has been quick and none stop. In other words I'm stuck on the cycle of change and I know that I must get off. I know that I have what I need, that I have been blessed. But for the life of me I can't stop going in circles. As soon as I think I know where the story is taking me I discover something new and have to pause; and the thing is I know that it's my control drama that's keeping me on this proverbial wheel. At this point in my life and in my career, chasing my tail shouldn't be the case, at least not this long. My inner magician as well as my magical people have gifted me with my sword, cup, walking stick, and runes (stones) and that's all I need. It took me getting to the place where I continued meeting Gideon again and again and again before realizing that I have to tell the magician "Boy, bye". I have to leave the warmth of his magic shop and carry on to meet my inner High Priestess so I'll have the will, the way, and the why when I'm confronted by the Emperor and Empress. So, that's what I'm going to do and tonight I will get pass the transporting scene and have Agape meet Connor. That's my goal. That's my story. And I'm sticking with it. I'll let you know how it went in my next posting. -Thanks for Listening Sabrina "Andielle" Holloway The Magician Card above is from the Angel Tarot Cards by Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine
