Reached for: Calla Lillies

I feel everything coming off everyone, all the time; I read the room before I've stepped into it.

It runs as a super-sensitive attunement, a natural empath's porousness to what everyone around them feels, honed to the edge of channelling, developed under an abusive family that both used the capability and feared it. The sensitivity is a real gift and a lifelong exposure, an early-warning system that never switches off. What it asks for is a membrane, so the gift stops costing the whole nervous system.

The Archetypal Form

The Cumaean Sibyl, who channelled more than a mortal frame could hold, sought by everyone for her sight and worn thin by the god who spoke through her. The form implies a task: to hold the gift without being used up by it.
