Magical power and strength is available to us

Today I am using the Magical Times Empowerment cards oracle by U.S.Games Systems, Inc. www.usgamesinc.com.

Power

Call upon the elements

Focus your intentions

The greatest dragon is within you.

The animal totem on this card is the Dragon.

The most common message a dragon totem carries is a need for strength, courage and fortitude. Dragons are also messengers of balance, and magic encouraging us to tap into our psychic nature and see the world through the eyes of mystery and wonder. More specifically, dragons are the embodiment of primordial power - the ultimate ruler of all the elements. This is because the Dragon is the master of all the elements: Fire, Water, Earth and Wind. As a totem, the Dragon serves as a powerful guardian and guide. Encourage communication with your Dragon, and acknowledge your Dragon's presence as often as possible. The Dragon reminds us that there is never a limit when it comes to the matter of spirit.  (text from whats-you-sign.com)

Strength

You have courage

You can endure

Find your center and

Spiral into your power

The animal totem on this card is the Polar Bear.

The polar bear has the ability to navigate along the earth's magnetic lines. He is also an animal of introspection and solitude. He has communication with Spirit, is about dreams, death and rebirth, transformation, shamans, mystics and visionaries, defense and revenge. Intelligent and fearless, the polar bear is known as a spirit helper. It represents the purity of spirit.

My Take...

We are being encouraged to integrate all the aspects of us today. Become a whole being. Embrace those things that you deem no good. Pull those gifts you haven't used out of your mental warehouse and start showing them off to the world. You are given gifts for a reason. These gifts bring you power. You are being asked to stand in your strength and have courage as you do these things. Great energies are behind you and angels and spirit guides are with you. Focus on your gifts, your talents and bring them to the world as your offering. And then don't worry about the outcome. Spirit knows what to do next. You will be given signs when the time is right. Find your center, relax and you will soon realize that all you have hidden from the world was your true blessing.

You are being watched by unknown sources

Hyperion

The God of Light, father of Apollo and Artemis. Hyperion's name means "watcher from above" or "he who goes above."

Hera

Loyal, Nurturing, Never wrecked havoc without a purpose. Single-minded, on a tireless quest to get her own way.

Wunjo

Joy, comfort, pleasure, fellowship, harmony, prosperity,glory, spiritual reward, but also the possibility of going overboard or over the top.

7 of Stones

After physical or emotional sickness or injury, a time of inner rest and rejuvenation is required. Patient and peaceful healing comes from a spiritual source. Wholeness and recovery will follow a serious physical or emotional wounding.

The World Tree

Marks the end of the journey for the Wanderer and the beginning of another. Follow the path through the living maze and enter the heart of the World Tree to become one with the wholeness of the universal mind.

2 of Vessels

The initial attraction and exploration of potential. The beginning of a possible relationship or friendship and the precursor to an interchange or polaric energies. Opposition and attraction in life.

My Take...

You are being watched by someone or a group of someones. They may have a mission to make your life a little difficult, but somehow, it never comes to fruition because someone unknown is on your side and brining you this new joy and comfort and this problem may just go right over your head unnoticed.

A physical, emotional or mental injury has you seeking solace and rest. It is a time of rejuvenation. And not only that, it is an end of a cycle for you. A new beginning awaits. And it has a lot to do with your connection to your Higher Self and your connection to the One Source of All, God!

Looks like it could be a good or a bad time ahead, it all depends on how you look at it. Blessings.

Time to put your ducks in a row and overcome

Today I am using the Archeon Tarot and the new oracle I created: The Titans - The Elder Gods.

The Chariot

It takes a skillful driver to reign in these opposing forces. Need for balance in your life. Ability to control one's own destiny.

Six of Swords

Going from the chaos of life to a new time of calm and peacefulness

High Priestess

She speaks only in truth. She is our teacher and guide. She has closed her eyes and seen the mysteries of the universe revealed before her. Inner vision. Spiritual enlightenment.

Strength

Facing your fears and acting with confidence. Triumphs may sometimes require the sword.

Leto

Mother of Apollo and Artemis. Nurturing mother and also known as a Goddess of the Night.

My Take...

You have things coming at you from all angles and it is your job to put it all in balance. Transmute the negative, accentuate the positive. And when you do, you will come into a time of peace where you have more control over your own destiny. Now you will work in concert with the Higher Realms as they unveil the mysteries of the universe to you through your third eye and intuition. And this, my dears, will make you stronger and more able to adapt to the energies of this world. Leto brings in a message of nurturing yourself and keeping that sunny attitude while you focus in on your greatest intentions. 

You're ready to roll out new things

Today I am using my own oracles that I created. The Little Egypt Newspaper Oracle, The Runz Oracle and Zeus and the 12 Olympians. I also received a wonderful tarot from U.S. Games yesterday. It is called the Ancestral Tarot.

Pressroom

There is something you are hot and ready to send out into the world. Don't stop the presses now. You're getting a green light to go ahead with your vision.

Ansuz

Ancestral God, Odin, revealing messages or insights

Ares

God of war, destruction, anger, fury

TEN OF SACRED CIRCLES

This is all about the extended family, kinship, clan matters, the blood line, accumulated wealth of experience offered by this extended family

NINE OF SACRED CIRCLES

I am totally getting a voodoo feel from this lady although I believe she is native american. This is a person with a strong connection to the earth and mastery of life. Maturity brings wisdom and the responsibility to dispense this wisdom

PRINCE OF SACRED CIRCLES

Here we are learning again. Reverence for growth process made possible by union of sun and earth

ACE OF SACRED CIRCLES

Gifts of the earth (plants, metal, fertile soil, precious stones and minerals). The earth is a sacred circle.

My Take..

Okay, we have something we need to send out into the world. It is ready. We are ready. And you are receiving messages about this thing you are ready to unveil. Great insights are coming your way, but so are those destructive influences who are all angry and jealous. Don't let them influence you today. Rely on the strength of your extended family and their wealth of experience to help and assist you. This will bring you new knowledge that you must in turn teach others. You are in a time of growth, new birth, creativity blooms. And this brings a new gift of the earth, for the earth. We are assisting the earth through our use of minerals, plants, precious stones and such. Revel in this blossoming time. Feel the energy and pulsing of this great energy today.

Choose your reactions today.

I am using the Zeus and the 12 Olympians cards today. My own deck. My own creation. I am now in the process of making my own rune cards called RUNZ. I spell it like that because there are a lot of Z's in rune names. I also had an idea today to make an oracle based on the different parts of a newspaper. I think I will call it the Little Egypt Newspaper Oracle. Messages from the Press Room, News Room and Production Departments.

Today's cards are all about protecting yourself, security and having a tough hide. Something may rub you the wrong way today. And you need to remember to nurture yourself. You really are in charge of your thoughts and actions and reactions. So don't react to what people do today. Stay in integrity and feel that fire of comfort that only comes from being home.

Have a great day.

Here is an example of my Runz Cards.

Great fulfillment is found within

Today I am using the Fenstra Tarot, Universal Wisdom oracle and the Wisdom of the Golden Path oracle.

10 of Cups

This is a GREAT card. Much abundance, fulfillment and happiness is to be had. You're getting the stuff that you really want.

8 of Wands.

This is the woo, woo, woo card. Lots of creative energy is afoot as well as a lot of balls in the air. You will have to do either a lot of juggling things today or you will be uber creative.

Queen of Swords

To me this looks like she is taking an oath. And since this queen is all about ideas, clarity, the truth and justice, I think that you are taking an oath to bring this clarity and nurturing to others.

Eternity

This card is encouraging you to detach from the restrictions from your mind and look at your life from a more universal perspective. If you try to make your life fit entirely into human logic, you are always going to get to a point where it will no longer make any sense. Trying to make sense of every part of your life is like trying to piece together a jigsaw puzzle while having only a few pieces of the puzzle of the puzzle in your possession. It is human nature to strive to work everything out and control things. Yet, the eternal nature of life is beyond human understanding. Your message is to focus on the spiritual side of your life. Observe your thoughts and fears and surrender them to the universe.

Butterfly Wings

A profound transformation is taking place in your life. And your true nature is beginning to emerge. Trough this card you are encouraged to continue to be yourself because you have much to offer the world. Your spiritual awareness is about to deepen. Much of what you experience in the next few months will have a magical effect on your life and the magic will be felt by many around you.

The Golden Path Within

It seems you have lost your way feeling confused about what direction to take. The right path is not in your mind. It is in your heart. To find your way home you must travel the Golden Path within. From here is where you will discover all you need to now.

My Take...

Everything you have done has brought you to this point. Great fulfillment is your legacy. and a new influx of creative energy is upon us. And  now we are taking an oath to promise to use this new wealth in positive spiritual ways that transform us into a new being by detaching from the rat race and embracing the natural, spiritual side of things. And now our true nature emerges so glorious and bright. And this brings us to a place where we can find the path within our hearts and follow it home.

Blessings.

Good fortune awaits you as long as you believe all is possible.

Today I am using Enchanted Map oracle and the Archangel Michael Oracle.

Golden Palace

There is always enough

The Golden Palace card represents good fortune, ambitions fulfilled, wealth, and prosperity. It may also indicate emotional fulfillment, as perhaps you're entering a time of happiness that is long overdue. The message here is that self-worth isn't measured by what you have, no matter how abundant your life is. Instead it comes from what you are, how authentically you're living your life, and how much love you're willing to share. Granted, receiving this card does indicate material gain and a furthering of tangible rewards. But things come and go, and knowing your true value leads to even greater riches now. Share the wealth.

Use Your Imagination... and you'll see the answer.

The angels are giving you guidance and answering your prayers, yet their message may seem out of the ordinary and unexpected, so you'll need to use your imagination to understand them. Let go of preconceptions or old beliefs of what won't or can't happen. The angels have unlimited resources and they've orchestrated a solution that you can see if you believe that everything is possible.

My Take...

Looks pretty simple to me. You're being given a lot of abundance and good fortune. And they want you to access your ability to daydream and to imagine the answer for yourself. Don't discount the abilities God has gifted you with. Believe that everything and anything is possible in this world. After all, you are the creator of your world.

I also picked one of my Zeus and the 12 Olympians cards for this reading. And it was Aphrodite. Believe in the power of your creations. Don't tell yourself you can't do something. All is possible for those who believe.

A time of stagnation leads to the possibility of greatness

Today I am using the Arthurian Tarot and the Wisdom of Avalon oracle.

Stone Five

A barren, desolate, windswept landscape where all is loss.

In the past, the winds have come and the rains have come, but somehow you managed to get through. And if you focus in a positive way, today will be no different. Use the Law of Attraction, what you focus upon is brought to you.

Sword Seven

Galahad was the only knight capable of pulling the sword from the floating stone.

Unstable effort, plans fail, little progress.

I am uncertain why this card depicts the acts of Galahad. Galahad for all intent and purpose achieved everything he attempted. He was the knight who found the holy grail. He was successful and humble. So, maybe you are attaining this level of greatness but someone else who is less humble and less virtuous is out to get you in some way today. Be on guard. Ask Galahad to assist you with your quest today.

Dame Brusen, a magical being in the times of Arthur, seems very important to this legend of Galahad. She makes Lancelot, Galahad's father, sleep with his mother, Elaine of Corbenic, and uses an enchanted ring to make Lancelot think that this woman is Queen Guinevere. Galahad is said to be the knightly embodiment of Jesus. Cool, eh?

Stone Queen

Queen of the Chessboard Castle awaits the seeker. She is Queen Igraine, Arthur's mother.

This queen is nurturing and loving. She is the mother of one of legend's greatest kings. So she must be a very special woman. Imagine this woman in your life lending you support today in some way.

The Wasp

Anger, retaliation, jealousy

So, this is either you are a tad jealous and envious of someone else. Or someone else is showing these colors to you or about you. And this person is angry that you have something that they do not.

The Raven

Magic, coincidence, synchronistic events

When the raven appears it is the sign of magic where coincidence and divine synchronicity bring surprising elements together.

This is asking you to use that magical ability that you have inside you. You are the creator after all. Create a great life for yourself.

My Take...

You had been in a time of stagnation, a barren wasteland of a time where you didn't see movement forward, Now you have a lot of potential as long as you use it wisely. Focus your intentions in great ways. You have the seed of greatness inside you. And you have magical allies to assist you on your journey. But watch out for those angry people who have the green eyes of jealousy. They are hovering at the edges of your life. And please know that you have a great magic inside you as well. You have the ability to create worlds and anything you wish. Use this power wisely today.

Obstacles are there to get your attention today.

Today I am using the Inner Realms Tarot and Messages from Your Angels oracle.

The Hanged Man

Submission, suspend, surrender, sacrifice, non-action

10 of Wands

Tired, laboring, workload, obstacles, oppression, obedience

Page of Wands

Creative, daring, inventive, passion

Chantall

New romance is imminent - either with a newcomer or through reignited passion in our existing relationship. Be open to giving and receiving love.

Bethany

When you take excellent care of yourself, everybody benefits. Give yourself a relaxing treat today such as a massage, sea salt bath or pedicure.

My Take...

I have only recently acquired this tarot deck and have pulled the Hanged Man quite a number of times. This is definitely a message for us. We are all a bit discombobulated. We are flipped topsy turvy and wonder what is going on, what is next, what do I do now? This card is asking you to center into your heart. Stop thinking so much in your head. And move that sense to your heart chakra. 

You are thinking too much because of the 10 of Wands. You are on overload. So much is going on in your world. It just never gets done. You just want to shout, "stop the world, I want to get off!" Obstacles that are in your path now are only there in order to help you move forward on your path. Maybe you are not getting the message and now they have to take drastic action to get your attention.

Page of Wands is all about creative action, creative messages, and the like. Pages run around the kingdom carrying correspondence from the king to others. What creative message is spirit sending you?

Looks like the message is all about romance. Someone new is coming into your life in order to move you forward in your life's journey. They are asking you to remain open to the loving energy that is coming in for you. Don't push it away when it shows up.

And we are being reminded to take good care of ourselves. Don't neglect your own needs. You are important too. Take time for you today.

Choices open up, don't get distracted

Today I am using cards from the Book of Shadows Tarot Vol 2: So Below deck.

7 of Chalices

We are having a lot of choices available to us right now. It is up to you to choose. Make a decision and move forward with it.

5 of Chalices

This is about a time of emotional loss. You have a lot going on in your life,  you are overworked and studying hard. But something else is distracting you and keeping you sad. Please know that today ( based on guidance from my video reading) you are strong in your emotions. So don't let these sad emotions overtake you. Focus on all the good you still  have in your life.

XX - Judgement

You have prayed. You have given offerings and now you are being called to work on your visions. You are filled with passion for your creative vision. And you are becoming enlightened and connected to the divine and your Higher Self. This could be a time for a life review. Pretty soon you will be coming into a completion of a cycle. So get ready to move.

My Take...

Many choices and options are opening up right now. But we need to pay attention to these opportunities and try and not get distracted by emotional things that trigger sadness, grief or anger in us. And know that this is a time of transition. We are really evaluating what we want and how we are focusing our energy on our passions and what we want to move forward with.

Have a great day.

You need a key to move forward

Today I am using both Book of Shadows tarot decks. The top row is the As Above Deck. The bottom row is the So Below Deck. And the lone card to the right of those six is from The Hidden Path Oracle.

As Above:

10 of Air - Tarot

Tarot gives us guidance as well as a look into our possible future. New possibilities with every shuffle. 10 of Air indicates much power and control over a situation. Things are moving in a beneficial direction.

10 of Fire - Stars

Indicates that the events in question cannot be changed. And there is a role that must be fulfilled or an action that must be taken.

XV - Lammas (The Devil)

First of three harvest festivals. Sacrifice of the Oak King to feed the earth. Eat, drink and be merry atmosphere. Taking chances that may pay off or may have too high a price. Being controlled by something.

So Below:

2 of Pentacles

By tuning to elemental energy, we, like this woman, can go with the flow, balance many tasks with grace and have the resulting fruitful creations.

6 of Pentacles

Decisions are not always clear as Divine guidance may feel absent. Trust the universe and make your decision. Giving and receiving. Generosity.

Knave of Chalices

Exploring your intuition and dreams. This is the Lover card of the deck. Taking action on emotions.

The Hidden Path:

Oak, Ash and Thorn

A situation is blocked or guarded. Special attention or attitudes are required in order to gain entrance. Oak, Ash and Hawthorn are legendary guardians into the Otherworld. The in-between world.

My Take

We have a lot of power over our lives and whatever situation we are embroiled in. And we are moving in a positive direction. But there is an action you need to take that may be a sacrifice to you. You need to release something you're being controlled by.

Just go with the flow with making your creations and coming up with inspirations. Continue to follow your intuition and dreams. But know you will need a great attitude or a special key to gain entrance to a new opportunity that will be offered to you. I'm thinking you need to have accessed a certain point in your life, done something specific before this door will open.

Doors opening to new communities

Today's message is a short one from the Wild Wood Tarot and the Archangel Michael oracle deck.

Ten of Stones

This is all about the inner and outer community that supports you at this time, but not necessarily blood relatives. Friends, comrades and lovers who offer, security, support, affection, wisdom and love. The door has opened and now you are walking through to this new opportunity of community, The house on this card is sprouting a tree. World wisdom is what this makes me think of. A community of individuals across the world. Sometimes the Tree is depicted on The World card in the tarot. We are growing, blossoming and learning from each other as we sit in this commonality. Enjoy this.

You Created This Situation And You Have The Power To Change It

This is reminding us that while we are in this community of like-minded people, you choose whether you want to conflict or mesh and grow with certain people in the community. If you come from a place of love, you bring in more love. If you come from a place of conflict, you may be moving out of the community and on to something that resonates with you more. You are a creator. You are one with God and you have the same ability as he does in side you. We all do. We just have to believe it.

This is a wonderful message of a door opening for us into a new community that we have the choice wether to embrace or reject. Looks pretty warm and inviting. Why not give it a chance today.

Have a great one!

Eye of Lucifer reading

Today I am using the Dreaming Way and the Magical Unicorns cards.

I decided to make my blog today about this sentence I heard upon awakening this morning. Inside my head as I woke up I heard this phrase:

The Eye of Lucifer is catching up to you.

I am not certain what this means. There are similarities to the Eye of Horus and the All Seeing Eye of the Illuminati.

9 of Wands

You are exhausted and have done a lot of work. You are taking a bit of a breather, but you are still ready to move when a threat comes again.

4 of Wands

This is a marriage, celebration, stability. We are made new by integration of the divine with us. It is going to bring us more in touch with our passions. We are blossoming.

Queen of Cups.

This is all about nurturing your emotions and your psychic sense and intuition is really becoming something you are mothering. It is centering you in your golden power.

Family Culture

Learn more about your family's history and stories.

Something from your past may be effecting you right now. Maybe it is something from your past life. Try to clear this karma.

Wish Upon a Star

Make a wish and expect the very best.

This is all about keeping our expectations positive. We need to wish in positive ways and not to worry.

Very Soon

What you're asking for will happen soon in a happy way.

What is happening is happening faster than you realize.

Shadow card: The Tower

Things are changing. Your foundations are being shaken and things that no longer resonate with you are falling away.

My Take...

We are exhausted but we are ready for a new fight. And what is coming is all about integration and celebration. We are getting more in touch with our path, with our intuition and emotions. Something from our past or past lives are effecting us now and it needs to be dealt with. Let this karma go. And keep you thinking positive because this is happening at a rapid pace. And it is all concerning a big change that is coming that will make us more like the true beings we are meant to be. 

Blessings.

Gaia and Apollo bring a message of fertility and clarity

Today I am using cards from Mythic Oracle, Mythic Tarot, Goddesses and Sirens and the Wisdom of Avalon. I asked for a message from the Greek Pantheon and who wanted to bring the message today. And I received Gaia and Apollo.

Message from Gaia:

Gaia

The Mother

She is the mother of the Titans and partner of Uranus

Gaia represents the fertility of the Earth. Without her nothing can grow. Ideas, images and inspiration are ready for you to plant in your world. This card also represents a connection to something greater than yourself.

High Priestess

Discernment, prescience, prophecy, vision

Trust your inner vision, intuition to guide you on your path. The Goddess blesses and protects you.

Burden

What burdens are you carrying? This is the time to leave behind unnecessary burdens.

The Hawk 

Omens, messages

A message will be delivered to aid you in your quest.

Message from Apollo:

Apollo

Clarity

He is a light being and this light s touching you right now. All becomes clear in his light. This is a time for getting clear and centered. It is also a time for joy, creativity, music and dreams to manifest. It is a time to write, make plans, established new routines. It is a time to stand for what it is that you want in your life.

Esotre

New Beginning

Esotre is the goddess of the dawn, fertility and spring. It is time to shape up, shake out and eliminate that which has come to the end of it's time. There are special new people and refreshing circumstances about to arrive, so it is important to sweep out the tired old cobwebs in preparation.

Pomona

Plenty

Trust that you have enough. Ask for what you need. Ask and you shall receive. It's time to proof back the dead wood in your life in order to grow. Nourish yourself and the earth. 

Hekate

Illumination

Examine your darker aspects. You are being shown the way forward. Your path is illuminated and there is no need to feel lost or indecisive. Something that has been lost to you will be found.

Message from the Tarot

We have to make a new decision that will bring change into our lives. And this change is for our greater good. And it will auger in a time of happiness and success and a wonderful message of abundance in your world.

My Take...

Gaia tells us that we are coming into new ideas and fertility. Inspiration and a connection to something greater than yourself. And this is from a vision or a connection to a goddess energy. But this goddess asks you, what burdens are you carrying that you need to release? You will not be able to greatly expand this creativity until you release your burdens. And the Hawk is brining you a message about how you can accomplish this.

Apollo tells us that we are receiving a new clarity about our situations. We are more centered in the joy of life and enjoying things like music and creativity. And we will see a new beginning in this area that will be filled with abundance and shine a light on our path that will make our spiritual journey much easier.

Have a wonderful day.

Your path is illuminated

Today I am using my Goddesses and Sirens oracle by Stacy Demarco and the Osho Zen Tarot.

Pomona - Plenty
Trust that you have enough. Ask for what you need. Ask and you shall receive. It's time to proof back the dead wood in your life in order to grow. Nourish yourself and the earth.

Hekate - Illumination
Examine your darker aspects. You are being shown the way forward. Your path is illuminated and there is no need to feel lost or indecisive. Something that has been lost to you will be found.

Breakthrough - Justice
Lots of red in this card. You are very passionate about something you need to make a decision about. Weighing the scales. Breaking through barriers.

My Take..

You have been feeling like nothing is going your way but realize that you have a great abundance in your life. Take a moment to count your blessings. And if you have been feeling lost know that your way is illuminated. You are being shown where to go next. And this will bring transformation and a wonderful breakthrough in your life. You are moving into your purpose faster than you realize.

Have a wonderful day.

Beckoned into a new beginning

Reading today from the Wild Wool Tarot by Mark Ryan and John Matthews. Artwork by Will Worthington.

www.thewildwoodtarot.com

20 The Great Bear

The great bear is filled with strength and courage as he beckons us into a new beginning, a high calling. Just as birth starts in a dark and lonely place, so will thus new beginning be one of solitude. he is offering you your soul's path, your destiny. Do you heed this bear's message? Are you strong enough to proceed?

Three of Vessels - Joy

Look at these three cranes. They are celebrating something that has them so elated they are about to take flight. I love this wonderful feeling of community I am sensing here. It is a time of togetherness we all seem to be finding. So much joy here.

Queen of Vessels - Salmon

Salmon are very determined creatures. They swim upstream in order to get to their goal of spawning at their birthplace. Some even die during the journey. If only we were equally as determined as these lovely creatures. They represent self-sacrifice and wisdom.

Shadow Card - 2 The Seer

The Seer represents insight. She is an oracle, of sorts, sending a message of feminine intuition and imagination. She contains knowledge within and the discernment to spread it wisely. She balances emotions, intellect, willpower and wisdom. As she gazes into the still water in this rock, imagine what message she has for you.

My Take...

We ate being beckoned into a new beginning that will bring us strength and courage. This new beginning is all about how we are connecting in joy with communities, groups of like-minded friends, who really resonate with us. They fill us up spiritually and bring us a sense of celebration, peace and a feeling of coming home. And we are determined to keep these wonderful communities and connections. And like the salmon, really work hard to reach our mutual goals.

The overall theme here is: how are we getting our insight? Are we trusting that inner hunch, that intuition we all possess or are we looking to other's who may or may not have questionable motives? Be the High Priestess, the Seer of your own life and discover the connections and messages for yourself.

Highest blessings.

PS. If you are looking for a deeply insightful tarot deck to work with that is more Gaia based, this is the one for you. I just love it! I always receive mind blowing insight from it.

Time for some tasty nurturing

CHARACTER CARD

Porsche Wright

Owner of Tasty Tidbits Bakery

Church Pianist

Nurturing and Motherly

Loves giving comfort through food.

CHARACTER CARD

Iris Chaney-Barnes

New Age-ish Flower shop owner

Great singer but seems to fade into the background

Hates Laney with a passion

JEALOUSY

Jealousy leads to downfall

exile, punishment

COLOR CARD

BLACK

Comforting, protecting, mysterious, associated with silence, going within,

Hiding from the world, Sorrow, Despair

LOCATION CARD

CHURCH LIBRARY

There is information you still need to discover to accomplish your aim.

My Take...

A couple of different characters make an appearance in today's reading But that green-eyed Jealousy card... IT'S BACK! Wow. Three days in a row. Lot of envious energy lately.

Porsche is a real nurturing, motherly type. She owns a restaurant and always wants to feed you to comfort you from your troubles. All her waitresses wear a brilliant top with the word TASTY across their bosoms. It's a gimmick for sure, but that gimmick works for her. She's always bringing some type of tasty treat to choir practice.

Iris' flower shop is a bit unorthodox she's part new age store, part flower shop. She creates wonderful products, scented lotions, flower based body sprays and bath salts. But many people from her church find her odd. They are not used to her spunky style and independence. 

Since the Jealousy card is back again, it looks like you need a bit of Porsche's nurturing and comforting treats. Sounds like a big hug is in order. And Porsche is just the person to deliver. Maybe you feel like you are fading in the background like Iris even though you are "the best" at what you do. You just don't feel appreciated for your contribution to the whole of what you are doing right now.

Please know that you can only feel nurtured and cared for when you nurture and care for yourself first. How are you at doing things just for you? How are you meeting your own needs? Don't put yourself last on your list. Self-care counts big kudos to your self-esteem and nurturing.

The Jealousy card, yes, it's still there but it may be a blessing in disguise. You must be doing something wonderfully awesome for people to be jealous of you.  Congratulations! Good for you! Step into that power. You have it. Own it. You're getting done what needs to be accomplished with style. Just remember to go within, as the Black color card says. Nurture yourself, the inner you, the inner child that desperately needs to be played with. Maybe you need to hide away from the world for a bit, not too long though, to gain your bearings again.

And lastly, the Church Library has a message to offer you. There is still something you need to know, learn or discover that will unlock something great in your life. Maybe you need to do a bit of studying or go back to school. Do what is nurturing to your soul. Trust your intuition.

With Highest Blessings

Have a wonderful day.

Tough times bring you more connection to the All That Is

Today I am using the Mystic Dreamer Tarot, Ask Your Guides and the Tarot of the Sidhe.

5 of Pentacles

You've been going through rough times either physically or financially. But this card carries a more distressing message. You are letting these hard times erode your spirit.

2 of Wands

This suggests that you need to choose between two ventures. Either option requires your full passion and attention. This is not the time to split your focus.

Knight of Pentacles

He is the most dependable of the knights. You can count on him to do what  he says he will do. He's good about saving and investing

Deprivation - Prosperity Guides

You may feel overly concerned about your finances and security right now. The Prosperity Guides message, "tap into the abundance of the Universe by sharing y our heart. Get back to the flow of things..

The Fool

Stepping out in faith, A new beginning. Transformation with the butterflies. Reiki symbol on the chest of the Fool.

Warrior Five

Action Frustrated

Five of Wands is all about conflict. But this is showing that this conflict is blocking your path. You are ready to move and enlightened and filled with creativity but your movement forward has been halted.

Maker Prince

Gift of Connection

This is the Knight of Pentacles. In the same position as the one in the Mystic Dreamer Tarot. This is how you have a connection to all things, trees, animals and the All That Is.

Self Esteem - Guardian Angel Michael

Archangel Michael is there when you are feeling unappreciated and misunderstood. He councils you to remain true to yourself.

My Take...

You've been through some tough times and you are letting these rough moments eat away at your spirit. It is time to make a choice between two wonderful opportunities because both need your full attention. You are dependable and will do what you say you will do, so trust yourself. You can make this dream really come into fruition. You just need to trust that the Universe is giving you what you need. This abundance is always available to you. Don't think in deprived ways. There is a new beginning on the horizon that will really put you in touch with your inner power. Expect a bit of conflict when you trigger other people who aren't living their truth. You are becoming more connected to the All That Is and the difference species on earth and in the universe. Always know that Archangel Michael has your back. Call on him when you're feeling low and not strong enough. He will lift you up.

Have a wonderful uplifting day.

Don't go overboard in competition

Today I am using the Book of Shadows Tarot: So Below. This deck is from Llewellyn Publishing. www.llewellyn.com

5 of Swords

Our society encourages intense competition on many levels and arenas of life. Even for those who "win" there can be conflicted feelings, hurt egos and such. You will find mixed reactions in competitive situations mainly involving the mind, ideas and communications.

King of Swords

This king skillfully plans so that the group achieves greatness and individuals can shine. He is the master of ideas, mental things and communications.

The Devil

No matter how appealing or pretty a thing is, if it controls your will, binds you to an outcome, it is not worth it. Even all these sugary treats can be a downfall if you constantly indulge in them. This is all about a choice, an action or situation that is not in your best interest at the present moment.

My Take...

You are in some sort of competition with others are things that are all mental, in your head. Ideas and whatnot. And this is going to bring you closer to mastery of individual greatness but don't let the competition fool you. It may feel good to win now, but when all you think about is winning and getting ahead, it sucks all the fun out of life. If it gets this far, you should probably set aside this issue and move on to something else more inspiring in your life.

Legacy of a Secret Agent Oracle - Make a decision

Today I am using my plotting cards that I use for my spy series, The Legacy. I'm calling them Legacy of a Secret Agent Oracle.

Character Card

Mackenzie Gray

Main character in The Legacy's spin-off series, Legacy of Spies

Believes in family loyalty, wants to get the job done,

pushes through obstacles.

Character Card

Octavia Kassoff

Doctor, taking advantage of a situation, Femme-fatale, conflict in love, like the

9 of Swords she's the type to keep you up at night in one way or another

Character Card

Shayne Michaels

Security, questionable loyalties, will get you out of a jam

Character Card

Philip Lancaster

Co-Director of The Legacy

Not the most trustworthy fish in the pond, but he can surprise you. Looks for the easy answer, willing to betray friends, only out for No. 1. Lacking in Leadership Skills.

Color Card

Green

Nature, Empathy, Seek it when under stress or emotional trauma, comfort, calmness, balancing, soothing emotions.

Action Card

Crosshairs

You've got someone in your sites, victory almost won, could cause a different decision to be made. Someone has YOU in their crosshairs... MOVE!

My Take...

This was an unusual oracle draw for me. I had two jumping cards and then two more jumping cards. All four were character cards. I think I'll read them as pairs since they came out that way. Then I pulled two cards from the top of the deck.

Mackenzie will fly to the other side of the world in order to save a friend in need and pull him or her out of trouble. And Octavia is about only what Octavia wants. Her needs are number one in her world. She started out somewhat sympathetic but quickly revealed her true colors.

Are you a people pleaser who will go to the ends of the earth for someone who will never notice you further than what you can give them. This is a wake up call for you. 

I see Shayne and Philip in similar ways, although, Philip is a bit more on the shady side. How is your protection looking right now? Where have you placed your loyalties? From the look of the Octavia card, you may have put your trust in someone who doesn't have your best interest at heart. And Philip is really sympathetic to the likes of Octavia. He's all about bad girl blondes. You need to step up and embrace a more leadership-like role in your life. Gan some boundaries to ward off people the likes of Octavia Kassoff. You need to look to the color green and really nurture yourself with some righteous self-care. And know that you're almost to victory, but there is someone targeting you for something. Could be that same Octavia influence. She's one that doesn't like to give up. So maybe  it's time to make a decision about something important in your life that will assist you in embracing your true potential.

Blessings. Have a wonderful day.

Don't let the little things stop you from getting your dream.

Today I am using my own personal Murder in the Choir Room Mystery Oracle.

Character Card

Hazel Lindstrom

Grandmother of Nate (the lead detective)

Instrumental in getting Geoffrey, the Choir Director, hired

Has blackmail evidence on Pastor Jenkins

Character Card

Megan O'Reilley

Main Character

Waitress at diner in town. Secret past she won't discuss. Dead bodies litter her path. She believes she is cursed.

Action Card

Gunfire

Conflict arises, enemy comes forth with violence or a choice.

My Take..

I have been dabbling with making my own oracle based on one of my mad-capped murder mystery stories.  Hazel is that feisty grandmotherly influence. One of those people who really go all out to make sure you get what you need in your life even if they have to push you off a cliff to get it. The middle card is the main character, aka YOU! There is something you don't want to discuss right now. And this is in the present position. And Gunfire is all about conflict that arises, your tower has been shaken. Things that you no longer need are leaving your life or you are tidying up your lie to make room for all the good to come in.

Your guides want you to make sure you get everything you need in this life. Don't let the little things in life stop you. Push forward. Imagine Hazel is helping you forge ahead. And don't let anything from your past, some secret you're keeping, hang you up in hamster wheel thinking. Go for the gold. And know that as  you move forward in your truth, others are triggered because they aren't living theirs. Stay the course. 

Have a wonderful day.

Cards for June 2013

Cards for June 2013
These cards are all about taking back your power. What beliefs do you hold that deny your power. Standing in your power and not backing down is a major theme this month.

The goddess for this month is Lilith. She was originally the Sumerian Queen of Heaven, a goddess older than Inanna. The Hebrews took the goddess and transformed her into the first wife of Adam. But when Adam refused to have sex as equals, Lilith left him. In Jewish mythology she is described as a demon.

The Tarot card of the month is the Three of Wands. You have created something wonderful and it is about to manifest. Many see two of these wands representing a gateway of sorts. Walking through the threshold and into a new beginning. Success is yours if you stand in your power and wait for the dream to manifest.

Be optimistic not pessimistic

Featuring the Paulina Tarot, Celebration of Love Oracle and Wisdom of the Golden Path oracle.

Seasons of the Heart
Every season in your life holds its own particular beauty. Life is a continuous cycle of change. Trust and know that all is unfolding according to your highest good.

I Am Truth
Don't be afraid of expressing how you truly feel. Making your feelings known will free you from your burdens.

I Am Balance
Negative thoughts and self-criticism are diminishing your self-worth. Change the perception you have of yourself. Love and accept yourself as you are.

The Lovers
A decision needs to be made right now. Also could mean a new person coming into your life, possibly a soulmate.

5 of Cups
Emotional loss. You are focusing in negative ways. See the abundance still available to you.

Optimism
Unicorn Rainbow
The Unicorns are bringing in the rainbow energy in order to heal you of negativity.

Six of Cup
Nostalgia for the past. Someone from the past coming back into your life.

Temperance
Balance and moderation are necessary. All your trials have made you stronger.

My Take...
A change is coming in that is for our highest good. It will help us to speak our truth and let go of worry and negativity. But a decision needs to be made right now about an emotional issue you've been ignoring. Know that having a positive attitude is possible with a little help from your friends. And then this stalemate will be over as you stop focusing on the past and know you've overcome worse things in your life and succeeded.

Blessings.
