I'm a woman who loves to write to express all that she's feeling and things about which she is passionate. I write when I'm inspired. Love is usually my biggest inspiration.
Message: You have the same power available to you as the fairies. It starts by loving the Earth through your heartfelt appreciation and gratitude but, more important, through your actions. The Fairies can help you reconnect with the Earth and all they require is your willingness to pay attention to to trees and plant life around you.M
My notes: Pay attention to the plant and tree life surrounding you. Tend to it’s needs. Show your plants both indoor as well as outdoor you love , appreciation and attention. They will give you comfort and empower you to the magic and beauty of all growing things.
I don’t often do reads on politics and government . If I do, I generally do not share them but this one is filled with hope so why not share?
The question I asked Spirit was ” How can we bring harmony to our nation?” but, as Spirit sometimes does, gave me a general reading on the state of our nation. So her it goes.
Situation- Knight of Pentacles- bringing forth a new sense of worth
Crossing- Chariot- things moving quickly going forward
Foundation- The Hierophant- Government
Past- Hanged Man- being strung up- a different perspective
Present- 5 of Pentacles- some being left out in the cold- unequal distribution
Future- 6 of Swords- Moving to safer shore and higher ground
You- The World- World View- Completion
Environment- Strength- Powerful
Hopes and Fears- Justice- good for some- bad for others
Outcome- 5 of Swords- laying down our armor- Standing our ground
Fall out card/ Conclusion- 9 of Pentacles- Contentment/ Big sigh of relief
So, that’s how I read those cards. It came quite easily for me when most of the time tarot stymies me. Big Message! A new sense of worth both material as well as mental is charging forward for our government. We were strung up in the past. There exists unequal standing but we are moving to safe ground. The current regime is complete and we have renewed strength of purpose. Justice will prevail and we will stand our ground and put down the armor to find commonality and equality. We can now breath a sigh of relief and begin the work of bringing forth harmony.
This morning, like some mornings, I woke up with a tune in my head. It was “Stairway to Heaven” by Led Zeppelin. If I don’t stop to ponder, a song will play on repeatedly in my head until I pay attention. Now, I love this tune so it wasn’t hard for me to take the time to listen to it. Afterwards, I looked up the lyrics and these particular ones resonated with me.
Upon thinking about the meaning, I thought of the Two of Swords tarot card.
Two of Swords from the Rider-Waite tarot deck
Meaning- Conflicting ideas and opinions. These must be reconciled by communication in order to arrive to a harmonious place.
Notes from Me: This makes me think of the state of our country. Right now, it is so divided but we must put in the work to listen to each other, understand the other’s point of view and communicate our ideas/ ideals in a rational, non-judgemental way so that we can bridge that gap and come together as a nation.
It’s always fascinating to me to think of the myriad of ways to receive messages from Spirit. Music/ music lyrics are one way that is all too familiar to me. Sometime, it’s just the melody that brings on a mood or sensation but I’ve always been a word person so I always look at the lyrics to find the message.
Card of the Day is from Mystical Wisdom Oracle by Gaye Guthrie
Gratitude- Be Grateful for all You Have
Message- Gratitude helps you to live in peace, joy and love. Being grateful for the abundance you have received is the best insurance that good things will continue to come. Learn to create abundance in all areas of your life. Ask. Believe. Receive. Give thanks to your God, the angels and the Universe. Gratitude is a powerful process to shift your energy and bring more of what you want in your life.
Mantra- I am grateful for life’s gifts of peace, love and joy.
Notes from Me: I know we are living in very precarious and tough times. It’s hard to find the silver lining and the good things that we do have in life. This card isn’t talking about material things. It’s talking about your many strengths whether it be patience, compassion, general faith, understanding, endurance, laughter, love from family, significant other, friends, neighbors or just a person that your run into throughout your day travels. Each person can bring a positive effect to your day. Be grateful for all the good you have in your life and let it continue. As you focus on the good and are thankful for that, that energy just flows.
Question: What has spirit have to tell us today on Halloween?
First card- The Underworld- Where all things pause and begin again
You are being asked to consider exactly what you have to do to transform your life into something easier or more authentic to you. This may involve changing course. It may involve trials and tests. Keep moving.
Clear space for new things to come into your life.
Second Card- Skull of Darkness- Blind Spots
The beautiful and mysterious Skull of Darkness encourages us to look to the parts of ourselves that normally remains hidden or as unseen as possible.
Peace and pattern changing can be achieved by doing the work in uncovering our blind spots or even consulting trusted friends or professionals to assist us to see what we cannot.
Third Card- Vampire- Emotional Intelligence
You may be drained emotionally and this is the time to set stronger boundaries. You need to be aware of what gives energy to our lives and what takes it away. Developing the emotional intelligence in ourselves helps us defend against the kind of emotional and “psychic” attack and enables us to foster healthy equal relationships of all kinds.
Notes from Me: Now is the time- right now- for some necessary soul searching and transformation in our lives.
Happy Halloween all. Open your spirit and heart and let the messages and guidance from Spirit flow in your life. You can do it.
Message: As the veil lifts at Samhain, know that other worlds are close. Listen in particular to what messages may come forth around your future. Look to what you want to happen- plan set intentions, think big.
Notes from Me: It’s fascinating that when I set my intention before I pulled a card, I asked Spirit as it comes close to the veil thinning, what message does it have for us. Well, out comes this card so yeah. There are two times a year where the veil thins- on Halloween called Samhain and in May called Beltaine. Pay close attention and be ready for any messages coming your way. It’s also a great time to get in touch with any spirit that has passed on if you wish to communicate with them. Now is the time when the veil thins.
Last night, I had a dream that I was in this sort of Health club with a bunch of people. Some of them, I didn’t recognize but one person was a current Phillies player, Scott Kingery. Crazy huh? So, why am I posting this in my Tarot Blog. Well, during the course of the discourse I had between people in my dream, someone started talking about the Everyday Witch Tarot Deck. I have never heard of this but my dream made certain that I remember it upon waking. In the morning, I looked up this and , sure enough, there is a deck by this name along with an oracle deck as well. I’ve been drawn to witches lately. I want to learn more about them and their magic. What better way than to read some tarot and oracle with witches in them? So, you guessed it, I bought both the oracle and tarot deck. Can’t wait to play with them! I’ll be posting.
In conclusion, I never miss my messages from my dreams and heed them. It’s one way for us to get in touch with our higher mind.
It may well be a time to examine the role of play and mischief in our life. You don’t need to be a child to let go and have some playtime and you can extend the fun with others. Play is one way to alleviate the pressure that we sometimes place on ourselves to get everything perfect every time. Alternatively, it’s worth knowing that there is a balance between manipulation and mischief- the former is not pleasant and the other has at it’s core . a sense of irreverent fun.
If only just for today, lighten up and have some fun. We need to release the pressure cooker we’re living in right now. Enjoy!
You are being asked to look to what your idea of home and family is for you. Take the time to build up you ” love ” fire and have it burning brightly. Make your relationships a priority . If there is conflict within your home and family, it is time to make concrete steps to address the issue for good. If you or a member of your family is away from home due to work or travel, know that protection is being given.
Home is where we hang our hats and our place to find comfort and peace. Wherever you’re home may be, always strife for peace and harmony so that all are comfortable and warm under it’s roof.
It’s that time to take out the Halloween Oracle cards by Stacey DeMarco.
