Gifts you Give
Luna moth--Jack in the Pulpit- NB Entity
For times when we feel directionless, lost, & that we have nothing to give. when we feel like our existence doesn’t matter.
luna moths, like most moths, don’t have mouths. their development from caterpillar to winged being reformats their inherent worth - they are deemed beautiful for simply existing, their transformation is their gift to the world. jack in the pulpit switches genders from year to year depending on it’s environment and internal energy reserves.
This drawing is a reminder that you matter for simply existing. your gift to this world is your changing, fluid and full expression of your divine self. It is to encourage taking the journeys that help us transition into our fullest selves, inside and out, that help us become unbridled in our expression of our soul’s gifts. It is for *self-determination & self-actualization.
From here, we may give a second gift -like the symbolic patterning of eyes in the luna moth’s wings, hinting us to a next duty - to pay forward the gift of our transformation by noticing the gifts, integrality and soul essence in others.
