Moon to Moon 208. Living Emergence as Divination and Omens with Suprasensory Shahir
In this conversation, Britten welcomes back Suprasensory Shahir for their third appearance on Moon to Moon to explore Living Emergence as a relationship to divination and omens. Recording during Mercury's helical rising - when Mercury becomes visible in the pre-dawn sky after its retrograde - they discuss how omens are messages rising and becoming visible, and how divination serves as a practice of aligned action that calls forth the spirit.
Topics They Cover:
-
Living Emergence as aligned action that calls forth the spirit, with messages rising and becoming visible
-
Mercury as the lord of divination and the significance of its current helical rising
-
How dream divination guided major life decisions, from choosing graduate schools to adopting Britten's dog
-
The Three Graces story: how omens can simmer and reveal themselves across time through multiple channels
-
Navigating the cultural baggage around the word "omen" and why it often conjures fear rather than curiosity
-
The difference between literal and obscure omens, and how they ask us to connect dots or revisit them in hindsight
-
Sagittarius energy and the balance between the human self making "good choices" and the beast self trusting instinct
-
Why shame blocks Living Emergence and how omens help us cut through the heaviness of infinite choice
-
The Eight of Wands as the swiftness of Mercury in Sagittarius
-
How cultivating trust in divination is a process of becoming more fluent and masterful over time
-
Staying with your own omens rather than getting lost in comparison with others' paths
-
The upcoming Oh My Omens! workshop on December 14th in Living Emergence
Shahir emphasizes that omens are a form of preparation and attunement to natural rhythms, like ancient Egyptians reading the helical rising of Sirius to predict the Nile's flooding. They describe their role as an omen translator who helps people navigate difficult transits and challenging cards not by abandoning them in the desert, but by offering multiple perspectives and helping them trust their own agency to work with what arises. This conversation celebrates divination as one of the most direct ways to interface with a magical life, where we write our own stories in conversation with the Universe.
