Oracle Deck- Archangel Oracle by Diana Cooper

Card of the Day- Archangel Raziel

Seek and you will find. Be the wise one.

Archangel Raziel appears in beautiful rainbow colors. He is the angel of wisdom and holds the sacred mysteries of the Universe. His crystal is clear quartz and his essential oil is rosewood.

Todays Message reads: Drawing this cards suggests that you are ready for more profound spiritual understanding.. It is time to seek a deeper meaning to your life. This will enrich you mentally, emotionally and spiritually, and you will experience a profound sense of joy and fulfillment as you explore the sacred and limitless mysteries of the universe through reading and meditation.

As you tune in to the wisdom of the universe, your own soul wisdom will flow forward. Others will sense this and treat you with respect. They will be drawn to you for your wise counsel and insights. Your aura will shimmer with gold.

My notes: ” When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” I’ve been asking myself recently of how I can make my presence more felt in the world. There are times when I feel that I am barely noticed but I know I have important things to do and say. Perhaps it’s time for me to call upon Archangel Raziel’s help in order to do so. ( The sun was shining brightly in the window when I took the picture above. if you look at it closely, the sun’s ray shined right through the book.)

So shall it be.

To whomever opens this post up and reads, this message is also for you.

Blessed be.

I’ve been feeling rather overwhelmed these last few days. Giving care to my special needs son has gotten the better of me. I want to breakdown and cry but I cannot. I must remain strong. I’ve gotten certain people challenging my capabilities and decisions. That’s the thing- people love to challenge but they never offer any solutions. It’s a constant which makes me feel inadequate. Most times, I brush it off but sometime it just gets the best of me and I get lost in uncertainty.

I guess you’re asking at this point why I’m posting this into my tarot blog. I’ll tell you why. This morning, right before fully waking, I heard a whisper in my ear. It said ” You are the world’s best Mother.” followed by a puff of cool, calming air.

That’s how I get messages. This one was beautiful and most appreciated at a time when I needed encouragement the most. So, thank you Spirit for giving me this boost this morning.

Be open to any messages coming your way.

Let’s first talk about my spiritual path. After much study and review, I can say with the upmost confidence that I am empathic- I feel and sense the feelings of others just by sharing their space. That space could be physical or could be from their words and actions. I also will state I am a lightworker. My spiritual purpose is to shine the light and show the way. For a good part of my life I was religious. I practiced my faith: however, about 20-25 years ago I began to find it too restrictive and too judgmental. I couldn’t follow all the rules- I didn’t believe in them. It took me until the age of 55 to truly break away from my religion. , I broke away from the religious restraints and took off to find my own blend of spirituality. I am open to many things and I loosely follow the things that I can say” ah- ha” to. As far as my intuitive senses are concerned , my first sense that I discovered was my hearing- clairaudience . I hear messages. They could be one word, a sentence, a lyric to a song etc. When I hear, I am certain of the message. The second thing is my sense of knowing and feeling- clairsentinence . I can feel energy and vibration coming from others whether they be in human form or spiritual form. I am weaker in receiving visual messages . I do smell certain things from time to time. All are random. So it is.

Now, on to a few things that happened to me recently. My strongest time to receive visual messages is when I first fall asleep and right before I fully wake. My visions are usually flashes- snapshots . Yesterday morning, right before waking up, I received of a vison of a dark blue sky with flashes of white light. I sensed that they were coming from someone who I was connecting with. It was like a hello.

I also heard the song “Fly Me to the Moon” and usually any Sinatra song is a sign from my Dad who has passed on. I always feel comforted by it. He was a big Sinatra fan and I grew up listening Sinatra music which I love.

Also, I have certain dream cast who show up in my dreams. They are there to entertain me, excite and inspire me, make me laugh and make me feel loved and at peace. I usually have a steady cast of about 5 people who are very much alive but who I never met yet they meet up with me in my dreams which is very cool. I connect with them on an energy level. We vibe. They are part of my soul tribe.

So there you have it. I meditate to tune into my intuition. I read cards. I do a mean dream interpretation. I can pick up messages from physical things that people carry around them on their person. I also work with animal totems. That is currently my spiritual practice but I’m always open to new avenues and new beliefs. I am ever evolving.

From the Everyday Witch Oracle deck by Deborah Blake

Message from Spirit- Card- Accept Love

“For many of us, it is easy to give love to others. It may be a little more difficult to accept it in return. Accepting love means believing that you are worthy of the gift, and not of all of us really believe that we are. Accepting love can also fee, risky, after all, if you open yourself to love, it can be taken away , leaving yourself vulnerable and hurt. Passion, like fire, can burn us but it is still worth it. Only by both giving and receiving love can we have balanced relationships whether they be friends, family or romantic partners. You don’t have to let people in if they feel false to you or comes with a price. But if those around you offer freely and genuinely, try to accept it with an open heart, I assure you, you do deserve it.”

Take action- Sit someplace quietly and light a red or pink candle. White will work at well. Gaze at the flame a few minutes breathing deeply. Feel your heart open and expand. As you exhale , send out love to all who you care deeply for, As you inhale., take in the love that others have offered you. Repeat as needed when you are feeling alone or having trouble letting love in.

• 

Notes from me: Accepting love can be risky. It can be the most beautiful experience, or let’s face it, it can be hurtful if you love is not returned in kind. Yet it is worth it. Take the chance. Be open. Be vulnerable. Accept love offered. You are worth it. As you continue to keep your heart open, your intuition will guide you to know when love is false, unequal or comes with conditions. Send those people off with loving regards and remain open. All of us are not meant for each other but our kindred vibrate with the same beat.

Sending love.

Deck- Native Spirit Oracle by Denise Linn

Layout- The Four Directions/ Medicine Wheel

Question- What message does Great Spirit have for me/ us at this time?

Center Card- Learning Self Aspect

Card- Shape Shifter- Message: You can be everything that you desire. Let go of attachment to your identity. See the world with new eyes. Be malleable.

North Card- Mental Aspect

Card- Gathering Your Tribe- You are loved and you are lovable. You deserve love. Support in all forms is flowing to you.

South Card- Emotional Aspect

Card- Ancestors- Wisdom is blossoming. Your ancestors are sending you incredible support to fulfill your dreams.

West Card- Physical Aspect

Card- Offerings- The Universe is grateful for you. You are a gift to the world. Feel gratitude for everything in your life. even the things that don’t feel perfect .Appreciation flows through you in great bounty.

East Card- Spiritual Aspect

Card-Grandfather Sky- This is your time to reach for the sky. Expansive energy. vitality, health, healing and passion- These qualities are expanding in your life.

Notes from Me: I have a great respect and feeling one with the spiritual practice of Native Americans. This deck resonates with me as well. It’s personally very powerful. I haven’t connected with ” All that is One” in awhile so I thought today would be a good day to do so. Native American Spirituality connects with the Earth and all of it’s aspects and elements- Air, Water, Earth and Fire so this reading is laid out in the four directions- North, South, West and East with it’s Center.

Do not have a fixed identity with yourself. You are constantly growing, evolving and expanding if you stay open to the Universal Flow. Looks at things from all sides. Find the people that you gravitate to and love you for who you are. They are your tribe. Be still and listen to the voice in your head. It’s Spirit speaking and all who have walked before you in your life. They have a story to tell and wisdom to impart. Be grateful for who you are flaws and all. We are all imperfectly perfect. Do not focus on the flaws. Focus on the beauty of all that your are. Now is your time to shine. Shine brightly and reach for the stars. They are there for you. You can soar high. Believe.

And so it is!

Whoever opens this post, I share this message with you. I hope it resonates in some way.

Yesterday was a strange day for me. I was very charged and very hyped up. That electrical surge and energy spur some very creative things for me. That’s how it usually works for me. Anyway, I do get messages from Divine source, angels in particular, often. I see triple number sequences. Yesterday, however, I saw three which is the most that I’ve experienced in one day. So, here they are and they appeared as I’ve listed them.

First, I saw 222- The spiritual meaning for this is: You are the in the building stage of your life. Move forward in harmony and faith as you build towards your soul desire.

Next, I saw 333- The spiritual meaning of 333 for this is: You are being guided by the Divine Ascended Masters . They have responded to your prayers and wish to assist you in your endeavors and with serving your life purpose and soul mission.

Lastly, I saw 444- The spiritual meaning of 444 is this: Pay attention to your intuition and inner-wisdom as your connection with the angelic realm is very strong at this time. You are encouraged to continue on your current path as your drive and determination will lead to success and fulfillment.

That is very eye opening to me. All three sequences refer in part to my soul path, life purpose and soul desire.

Just thought I’d share. Remember, keep your heart and eyes open for signs to guide you as you travel you soul path.

From the Whispers of Love Oracle Deck by Angela Hartfield/ Art by Josephine Wall

Card- Act as if you Partner is Here

Whether you have someone in your life or not, act as if they are with you so you will always consider them.

Message: If your actions and thoughts take into someone else’s feelings, you will be in alignment with a true relationship. If your partner is not with you yet, generate the feeling that you are already sharing you life with you special someone. This will change the way that you feel and can alter your attitude and your potential to attract them into your life.

Message from Me: Well, if you have a romantic partnership in mind or are already in one, this is a good message for you. I’ve always been a dreamer including having passion , romance and love in my life. What is needed though is to believe that you are deserving of love , can attract love to you and be open to the flow. If you are continually being negative, then, you’re blocking that flow to come to you. Lift yourself up. Believe in the possibilities and really go with the flow. And if all else fails, love yourself first.

To all who open this post, this message is for you.

Happy Valentine’s Day with Love from me to you.

Card- Demonstrate Love- Find out what is important to the people that you love and act on it.

Notes from Me: Are you paying attention to the people that you love? Are you listening to them for hints of what they may need? Are you nurturing them? Are you totally present in the space and time that you share with them? Perhaps it is time that you do. It will be time well spent and appreciated. It will elevate the love that you have for them and elevate you into a higher vibration of love.

Do it! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Be that instrument of true love.

From the Influence of The Angels tarot deck by Jody Boginski Barbessi

Card- The Star

Symbology of images on this card:

Archangel Raphael- whose name means ” God Heals” facilitates physical and emotional well-being and helps to ease the pain of those who suffer

Stars- represents hopes and wishes. They don’t promise results now ; rather, they are about having faith in the situation.

Water: As a tarot symbol, water is generally associated with emotions, intuition and the subconscious

Dolphin: represents health and well-being, happy and playful

Direct Meaning of the Card- Being hopeful, feeling positive, gaining a sense of serenity and faith, feeling spiritually and emotionally nourished, replenished, refreshed, restored and healing. Also being generous and giving back.

Angel message: If you are injured, first you must heal. Try to be patient, trust in the process.

Notes from Me: The Star is a Major Arcana card in the tarot. It’s one of the best ones to see. It speaks of hope and faith that things will be turn out in the long run. I love seeing this card when I do a tarot read. What tickles me is that it goes along very well with the oracle card I pulled earlier today. What also struck me is that both cards use the color navy blue. I’ve been attracted a lot to this color lately. It symbolizes importance, confidence, power and authority, intelligence, stability and unity. The color blue in general represents peace, depth, trust, loyalty, sincerity, and faith.

A healing stone that is navy blue/ indigo is lapis luzuli. Lapis Luzuli is the stone that represents the Third eye Chakra- place of intuition, knowing and dreaming. When two people embrace each other and join together forehead to forehead, they are meeting and acknowledging each other on a soul level. Trust is key.

I hope whoever reads this post finds peace in this message and is patient enough to trust in the process. Have a little faith. Hope is a beautiful thing.
