An Underworld Portal
Welcome! This underworld portal was patched together for those who, like Eris, have been uninvited, undone, and are becoming. To begin, tap the envelope for your initiation, then pick a card for a message or explore the full spread below. Please move through this space intuitively, at your own pace and return if you're called. There is no right or wrong way to access what's here. What you seek, seeks you.

you are supported, here and now. lean in to the connections and relationships that feel GOOD. you deserve it, and remember: even when you feel alone (derogatory), your guides are celebrating right there with you.

yeah, I read reversals, sorry (not). not choosing IS a choice. this is a nudge, filled with love, you've weighed the pros and cons. it's time to lay the flowers and cross the threshold. divine timing to end up here ;)

earthly abundance reaching a climactic peak, OK go off! the work in this moment? CELEBRATE. bask in gratitude, give yourself flowers for all the things you did right. more alignment = more abundance. look at your life, your home, your bank account with joy. bust out those rose coloured glasses if you need a lil help

another reality check: where are you not allowing yourself to hold YOUR shape? to be your truest self outloud, even and especially if, you're a little freak? Eris tests characters, revealing their deeper truths and calling them into integrity. she calls to you now. She destroys to reveal the false and demand more transparency.

We throw apples and light matches, not knowing, yet still choosing.
Completion and emergence, and radical self-assertion are Eris.
This ends with me. And also: this begins with me, too.
At this threshold, I release being refined to the point of repression. I deserve to exist in the light, even when I’m not performing.
Like Eris, I exist and reveal that the current structures aren't built to hold the fullness of what is. So I choose what and who expands to accommodate all of me.
Lay your flower. Cross the threshold.
Let this space be yours for rewriting the myth of the unwitnessed child, the daughter of absence. The one who wasn't mirrored back with love and devotion...
Trying to recreate that reflection through relationship, caretaking, or achievement is no longer required. The course correction is laying flowers at this threshold, being rebirthed as Eris, who refuses to be overlooked (by herself).
Eris, sister of Ares and daughter of Nyx, rules chaos, discord, and the necessary breaking apart of false order. She exposes, unbothered by consequence. In Greek mythology, she famously drops the Apple of Discord at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, which she was not invited to. Inscribed with "For the fairest", the apple sparked a debate of vanity among Hera, Athena and Aphrodite, which led to the Judgement of Paris, and eventually, the Trojan War.

From my internet bestie...
Our old girl Eris really did rewrite history. Her discovery and subsequent classification is in part responsible for Pluto's official demotion to dwarf planet.
Eris has a 558-year orbit around the sun. It takes her approximately 120 years to move through a zodiac sign, meaning that everyone alive today has Eris in Aries.
What astrological house does Eris live in for you? Do you have other planetary bodies or points there? Any interesting oppositions to note?

Divine Beloved, Change me into one who lives from devotion, not performance. One who creates not for applause, but for intimacy with Love itself.
Guide me to remember that I am allowed to change. That my inner world is sacred. That my desires are holy. And that every colour I wear, every word I write, every offering I give to the world, is Love.
Make my home a sanctuary. Make my work a love letter. Make my life a prayer in motion.
I am safe to belong to myself. I am safe to be seen in my fullness. I am safe to be loved as I am, and as I am becoming.
Let it be so.
Spending time with this archetype brings two characters to my mind!
But if I sum up the threshold I sit at now, and that I have been sitting at, it'd be this poem: Widening Circles by Rainer Maria Rilke from the Book of Hours. Tap the button to read an English translation:
