Phoenix
While a reading is happening, Phoenix is in conversation with Osara. Sometimes it’s very clear. Sometimes it’s very motherly. Osara is the mother to two hundred and one children. So it can be very practical, very encouraging, supportive. But water deities are very—they’re fickle. Ebb and flow, not always nice. And Phoenix thinks it’s—like any mom, there’s some tough love concept that goes on. But what she says is very person-specific, and it does not always make sense to her. Strange things like, She said you should get some new shoes.
Or this one woman she did a reading with, the first thing Osara told her was to stop keeping broken things. And it turned out that the woman had a habit of, like, if a mug was a little chipped, she’d hang on to it. And economically it wasn’t necessary for her to do that. And Phoenix did not know that. But if she hears, Don’t keep broken things, she says, Don’t keep broken things. She assumes that it’s going to make sense to the person. And the woman was actually like, Oh yeah, I’m drinking out of a broken mug.
Or there was one guy she read once—Osara kept wanting to talk about tools. But he said he didn’t work with tools. He didn’t know anything about tools. He didn’t have any tools. So then Phoenix said okay, she would try to hear other things, but it would always come back. She was like, Well, I’m sorry, Osara’s back on the tools again. You know anybody with tools? And finally it—it revealed itself. He and his best friend, a man in his seventies, when they were teenagers, broke into a hardware store and stole a toolbox with tools. And that best friend still had it, and recently the guy shared that the friend was about to die and would be passing the toolbox on to him.
So it was like, Okay now it makes sense, although Phoenix wasn’t sure what Osara’s point was with the tools. There was no necessary message for this guy about the tools. It wasn’t like she was informing him his friend was about to die. Which, Phoenix doesn’t know that she’d be able to say that. It’s a bit harsh. Maybe—sometimes she thinks Osara is saying things just to try to let the person know it’s real.
Sometimes Phoenix questions Osara. And in answering, she then gives other advice. Or Phoenix will relay to her what the person said, even though Osara can hear them—and she’ll say, I’m sitting right here! I can hear! Osara really does have a sense of humor, her little quips. She has really quirky ways about her. And sometimes Phoenix can see visions of what Osara is saying. But not always. For one woman, she had a question about having a baby with her fiancé. And what Phoenix saw—she actually saw the baby but as a toddler, and he was with a little boy, as playmates. And so that’s how she knew there was already another kid. So that brought them into this conversation about how the fiancé had no relationship with this other child, and that’s when Osara explained that he would come to have that.
So Phoenix doesn’t really have intentions of going around curing people, but she feels happy with—with people’s satisfaction at the end of a reading? That they seem to have received what they were looking for. To be honest, she finds all of it fucking amazing. She really does. She finds the whole thing quite fascinating. It’s not that it’s necessarily extraordinary—nobody’s hit the lottery yet and paid her off. They’re often just exceedingly mundane messages that really turn out to be valid information for that person. She thinks in general the ordinariness of it all is quite extraordinary. And she just grooves off that.
