The Parched One

Fractal Persona of the High Throat Chakra

Theme: Dryness of Spirit, Silent Well & Withheld Voice

🏜️ A Day in the Life of The Parched One

The Parched One Oracle Card

I rise with a dry throat, not from lack of water but from lack of words. My voice feels barren, my dreams dried to dust. Once there was flow, a stream of visions rising from within—but now the well feels empty.

In the morning, I try to speak, but nothing comes. Silence clings to me, not soothing but suffocating. I crave the cool current of expression, but all I find is arid stillness.

Throughout the day, I feel thirst—not for drink, but for truth. I ache for renewal, for the flood of Spirit to rise again, for the song that once poured so easily from me. Instead, I wander through the desert of withheld voice, my soul weary from the drought.

At night, I whisper a prayer into the silence: let the well be restored, let the waters return. I know the drought will not last forever, but in its grip, I feel fragile and forgotten.
