Energy cards:The Garden and the Gate
Abundant Security, Staying Safe

*We are feeling safe and secure where we are. Our proverbial garden is flourishing but we have a choice to stay locked into the here and now or opening up to new karmic possibilities. The choice is ours to make.

Door to Personal Healing and Happiness
New beginnings in our personal life

*There will be a harbinger of change. Make sure your intentions are sent and coming from a place of goodness.

Journey: Movement, relocation, travel

*After all is said and done, are we stuck in our current situation or are we anticipating new opportunities for growth and evolving.

Adjacent Possibilities
Many unconsidered options

*What will we do? Are we open to experience changes in our lives? Have we considered the possibilities or are we going to go back into what we know and what makes us comfortable?

Notes from Me: Well, well, well- just look at all that female, queenly energy! I have felt that for some time that feminine energy is rising to meet up and be equal to male. What is the key to feminine energy? I believe it’s nurturing. What will be happening? Well, male energy will soften. Instead of force of will and dominance, it will become more gentle with an open heart. When the male and female meet-up, we will prevail both personally and as a whole. When the yin-yang merge, we will see things in a new light. We will look to the past to see where we were at and why we did the things that we did. We will see growth and a new perspective going forward. Remember, love and oneness is at our core.

* My personal notes of these energy cards

Deck- Spirit Animal Oracle- Colette Baron-Reid

Thought I’d check in on the animals to see what message they had for us during this particular time in our lives. These are the cards that came forward.

Left card- Vulture- Nothing is wasted

What seems hideous, had it’s own beauty, and the recycling and repurposing does is as important as any other activity in nature Vultures message is that nothing is to be wasted, for nature sees value in everything that exists. You are reminded that any suffering you have experienced has not gone to waste. Wisdom and understanding that arose from the experience are talismans that will serve you on your journey. The alchemy of transformation is a gift from Spirit so never disown what embarrassed, disappointed or shamed you.

Middle card- Squirrel- Believe in yourself

You have accumulated wisdom and experience and are surrounded by all that you need. An abundance of resources are available to you through the generosity of Spirit. The unpredictability of life can shake your confidence in yourself and your potential for handling the challenges that come your way. You have come so far on your wits and creativity making use of your potential and all that Spirit presents you to help you through life’s trying times.

Right card- Starfish- Open to infinite possibility

As you look out to the horizon, do you open to infinite possibility? Spirit is the source of opportunities beyond your wildest imagination and ensures endless possibilities are available. When cynicism says no, Spirit says yes a thousand times over.

Notes from me: Living through challenges gives us the opportunity to grow in wisdom. Never caste it aside or make it less valuable. There is value in everything that we go through. We experience. We learn. We grow. There is always something for us. Know that have the strength and creativity to rise above. Please don’t forget in the midst of turmoil to stay open to the possibility for growth in understanding and compassion.

During this meditation, these are the animals that came to me.

Wolf was the first to appear. He looked at me and asked me to follow him. Wolf’s spiritual message serves as a guide for you to trust your instincts and pay attention to what they are telling you.

The second animal that came buzzing up to me was a dragonfly. They were making quite a racket. The Dragonfly brings with it news of change and transformation. It reminds us to be open to new things.

The third animal that came to me was an ant crawling on a long blade of grass. Ant’s spirit message is about community and how you need to work with others and establish camaraderie to have a peaceful co-existence.

The last animal I saw was a firefly. Firefly’s message is bringing about creativity, illumination and self discovery.

It was interesting to me that all animals that the wolf showed me were insects. Global symbolism for insects as a class of animal are these: variety, nurturing, fertility, sustenance, productivity, natural order, tenacity, persistence, privacy and community.

The overall message is to trust our instincts, be open to change, work within the community to establish camaraderie and peaceful co-existence. Be creative in ways that bring about illumination and discovering your true self. These are the things we can do as the Universe is giving up the opportunity to do so at this particular time in our life and history.

I had all intentions of doing this meditation and then pulling some animal oracle cards but Spirit had other things in mind for me. It was so nice to get back to my roots in Native American meditation and experiencing the animals that come to me during it.

Thank you to google for the information and Bling for the images in this post.

In meditation this morning, I received a spirit message. The message said ” We will rise from the ashes like a Phoenix and soar to new heights and new dimensions. ”

The Phoenix represents transformation, death ( transitions) and rebirth in it’s fire. As a powerful spirit animal totem, the phoenix is the ultimate symbol of strength and renewal. Phoenix is symbolic of the sun which “dies” in setting each night only to be reborn in rising the next morning.

We shall rise up! Have a great day everyone. Stay safe.

Deck- Magical Times Empowerment by Jody Bergsma

Question- What are the lessons that we are learning during this current time?

Left card- Elegance

It is found in the beauty of Nature, the lotus waiting to bloom. Be the swan on the water and glide.

Middle card- Healing

Bless all in need of healing, hope and love. Spirit grant us strength and wisdom. Guide us to the path of wellness.

Right Card- Mercy

Let compassion fill your world. Offer kindness to all living things. What you give you also receive.

Notes from me: I haven’t used this deck in quite some time but I happened upon it the other day and couldn’t wait to read with it. I have a special fondness for these cards.

So, the first card is about learning to navigate challenging times with elegance and grace. The swan spirit message brings with it purity, beauty, grace, love and elegance. It also symbolizes divination and balance. What was once an ugly duckling turned into a beautiful swan. Be the swan.

The second card is about healing. There are 3 Unicorns pictured. The Unicorn spirit message meaning is one of myth, magic and legend. The unicorn reminds us of our own inner power, our soul purpose and the magic that is in every one of us. We do have the power inside of us to heal ourselves, others and any situation that needs healing love. First, heal thyself and then reach out to others to send healing light and love to them.

The third card is Mercy. Quan Yin, the goddess of compassion is pictured in this card. She reminds us of the need for compassion and kindness toward our own self and others. As we open ourselves to give, we will receive in kind. Energy is a magnet. What we put out there, comes back to us. Remember that. Be the change that you want to see in others. Give love. Receive love. Show kindness. Get kindness.

Lovely reading and, most definitely, lovely lessons to learn and share.

Deck- Fairie Guidance Oracle by Paulina Cassidy

Left Card- Discovery

Behold the world with new eyes.

Middle Card- Prosperity

The inner power supplied by spiritual prosperity lasts an eternity.

He/ She who opens and reads this will be wished all the luck and magic that the world offers. Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

Deck used: Energy Oracle by Sandra Anne Taylor

Question- What is the current energy prevailing?

Foundation- Woman Holding A Heart- Female Dealing with Family, love or emotions. A nurturer or nurturing energy that is necessary for our lives. Taking care of others and our own self.

44 is the card number and is the sign of angels. Angels are all over this reading today.

From Above Energy- Patience-Peaceful Presence- Letting go of desperation

Angel pictured in this card has winter as their backdrop. She holds a clock in her hand giving us a message of waiting it out. Winter will end and a new season will begin- Spring- a time of warmer weather, growth and new beginnings. It’s a waiting game but if we are patience our time will come. Do not despair.

Grounding Energy- Action-Energizing Effort- Willingness to Work

It’s time to put a plan in place and start moving towards that goal. Harmonize and work together for solutions.

In this card, there are two horses- one black and one white. running through a field of sorts. There’s a bird flying in the sky and sun is breaking through. A joining of energy together to get to where we want to go.

Current Energy at play- Second Chakra/ Sacral- Archangel Ariel ( my guardian angel) Intimacy and Creativity-

It’s time to get creative for solutions and work together for the common good of all.

Future Energy to come- Angel of Strength- Personal Power and Inner Strength

In us is a strength that holds no bounds. We can tame the wild beast and be one with all. We are limitless with this strength.

Result/ Outcome- Victory- Success, Achievement

Success is on it’s way and you have a sense of pride in what you have worked to accomplish. Changes were made to move forward and that has brought us Victory. We will survive. We will succeed. We are victorious.

” To the victor, goes the spoils.”

Notes from me: I always love the energy of these cards. It’s one of my favorite oracle decks and has been calling me for a few weeks. I thought we could use some good energy in these current times so I was nudged to read with it today. This card has angel energy, an energy that I love to feel and hear, throughout it. What a lovely reading from Spirit and the Angels today.

So, nurture your loved ones, be good neighbors and reach out to others.
Have patience. It will be rewarded. Things take time so let go of the desperation and have faith. Make plans and follow through to get you through. be creative- inspire and be inspired. You have amazing strength within you so never doubt that. You will be victorious if you use all these energies in a positive way.

Deck- Arcanum Tarot by LoScarabeo

Question- What is it going to take to have a female President of the U.S.?

Situation- Significator- Temperance

A true blending of opinions and beliefs- A meeting of the minds

Crossing- 4 of Swords

Taking time out to rest and reflection

Foundation- Queen of Wand

Inspiring Female. A woman who steps into her power, acknowledges her talents and enjoys center stage.

Past- The Chariot

Moving forward swiftly. ( I intuit this to be female on the rise)

Present- Knight of Swords

Taking swift action sometime impulsively.

Verified by 5 of Swords

Conflict. Standing your ground. Fighting for a cause

Future- 3 of Wands

Opportunity, Waiting for your time to shine. Brainstorming

You/ Female – The Star

There is hope. Faith

Environment- Strength

As a female gender, we have endurance

Hopes & Fears- 10 of Wands

A burdensome challenge but we still endure.( I intuit this as people’s doubts whether a female is capable enough to hold the highest office.)

Outcome- 4 of Cups

Disappointment but also not seeing that although there are 3 spilled cups, there is one remaining upright.

Bottom of the Deck- Reinforces the outcome

9 of Pentacles- Luxury. Enjoying the spoils.
5 of Wands- Tug of war
The High Priestess- A higher knowledge, A higher calling,
King of Cups- A caring male. Emotional, loving, softer touch and point of view

Notes from me: I think this reading is very straightforward. Although we have made some strides in the equalization of male and female in this country, we still have a way to go to achieve this. I do believe we have to wait for the generations to depart and the newer generation to fully take over. We need strong female presentation along with a more gentle male disposition in order to promote true equality between the two genders. We also have to achieve a walking away from a ” it’s about me” thought process and more realization that we are all in this together.

Deck- Whispers of Love Oracle by Angela Hartfield

What message does Spirit have for us on Valentine’s Day

1st Card- Speak the Language of Love

Loving words have the power to change someone’s life including your own.

Monitor your words today so that what you say comes from a place of love and not fear. Uplift someone with loving words.

2nd Card- Take a Chance on Love

We we start to love, our lives are changed forever.

Lead with love today. Open your hearts to the power of love and spread loving energy to all you encounter today. Send love to others who are not in your orbit but are connected to you by the common thread of love. Give and receive. Don’t be shy or fearful. Let it flow.

I spent sometime in meditation today asking help to spread the flow of love starting with me and then outward. The world sorely needs more love and so let it begin with you. It’s a wonderful day to do it. I put in my diffuser today Rose, Rosewood, Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang. It is a beautiful fragrance that puts me in loving, more receptive mood.

Happy Valentine’s Day all and, remember, spend some time today to reconnect with your heart.

From the Angel Prayer Oracle by Kyle Gray

I thought we’d might need a little encouragement and guidance from the Angels today. This is the message that they sent.

Unconditional Love- The Divine Mother

You are blessed to receive the guidance and support from the Divine Mother today. Her nurturing and loving spirit fills your energy like a cups so that you can feel whole again. Together with the Angels she knows that at times you feel unloved and find it difficult to share your love with others. She is here to help you see that it is just as blessed to give as to receive. You have given so much of yourself in life and love- now it’s time to receive.

Earth Angel

The Angels are so grateful for all of your positive thoughts and the actions that you do for others. They want you to take some time to see how amazing you are as a person. They are so blessed to have someone like you helping them to do their work on Earth. Thank You!

Notes from Me: I will admit that this was a personal hug for me from the Angels. I’ve been feeling very discouraged and, yes, a bit unloved and unappreciated. This was very uplifting for me so I’d thought I’d share with you. Whoever is reading this today, this message is also meant for you as well. Life can be rough at times but we always have the help and support of the Divine to see us through. We are never alone.
