rabbits, rock bottom & pure magic

saying “rabbit rabbit” on the first day of the month is a quirky little superstition said to bring you 30 days of good luck
some say (specifically the Farmers Almanac) it was inspired by lewis carroll’s alice in wonderland (1865), where a curious young girl follows a white rabbit and is led through fantastical, sometimes chaotic adventures
fun fact: president FDR reportedly credited “rabbit rabbit” for his 1932 landslide victory… he said it every first of the month and carried a lucky rabbit’s foot
i even make a rabbit rabbit post on IG every month
why? i’m not totally sure…
because as much as i love a whimsical superstition, i think i believe more in another (fictional) hero of mine:
“i make my own luck.” —harvey dent, the dark knight
i’ve always been intrigued by the “follow the white rabbit” energy… whether it’s alice falling into wonderland or neo meeting trinity and waking up in the matrix
that moment of surrender to the unknown
of choosing to trust… or delude yourself… or maybe hold both at once
today, i followed that thread down a rabbit hole of my own… into my new wonderland tarot deck

judgement was the first card i pulled
a reminder of transformation; of leaving behind an old Self; of shedding, alchemizing, quantum leaping into something more whole...
which tracks
because just this weekend, i went through my own 24-hour descent—an anxiety-riddled, heart-hurting, soul-doubting spiral
the kind that drops you to your knees with no warning
the kind that whispers: “what if you’re not meant for this after all?”
but with a little soul-sister support, 11-hours of sleep, and a spiritual intervention from my highest self (who may or may not have appeared as cher in moonstruck, yelling “snap out of it!”)
i woke up feeling…
clear. calm. ready.
not perfect. not 'healed'. just clear. and comforted. and back in my own body.
then came card number two: the magician
the message?
you don’t need anything more.
you are the magic.every single step forward—no matter the pace, the grace, the stumble or the sway—is the spell
i like to think it was the magician in me that reached into the void and pulled the rabbit out of the hat
not because of luck
but because of presence
because of trust
because i remembered what and who TF i am
and what i am is magic
not a trick
not a performance
just… BEing
that’s the mission
that’s the practice
and yeah, that’s the rabbit 🐇
a little prompt for your own rabbit hole journey:
💫where in your life are you being invited to let go of an old version of yourself?
🪄and trust the magic that’s already within you?
you can pull a card, journal, or just sit quietly and listen.
whatever comes up… is right on time
OR
you can send me a message and we can co-create a session just for you…
i’m ready and waiting!
