I’m not strange, weird off nor crazy, my reality is just different from yours!” quote the Cheshire Cat in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. The Cheshire Cat has been invoked in every corner of the world and is depicted taking on a variety of different forms. It can disappear and reappear anywhere, offers philosophical musings and reveals the existence of unseen worlds. Look at the Cheshire Cat’s creepy smile, does it feel like you too are going mad? You are witnessing a creature come through the veil.

The Cheshire Cat invites you to tune into the invisible worlds. If you sense a spirit is nearby, do not be so afraid that you ignore it or convince yourself its not real, but instead try peering at it or talking to it. Remember, if its presence makes you too uncomfortable, you can always ask it to leave any time you are ready. If you choose to put attention towards what scares you, it will inspire the creation of something good in the world. In any case it is best to let your curiosity peak, and not your fear.
