Tarot and Oracle Readings with other Spiritual Matters by Barb Ward

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.

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.

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

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.

Two Decks- Heal Yourself Reading cards by Inna Segal and Guardian Angel Reading Cards by Debbie Malone

What healing needs to take place?

From the Healing deck- Hole in the Soul

Message- One way your childhood wounds disrupt an extraordinary life is through low grade depression experienced as a perpetual empty feeling. If as a child you tried to make everything all right by picking up the pieces of your family drama, then you adopted a false self. When you lose your authentic self you disconnect from your true feelings, needs and desires. Instead you wear a mask to make others feel more comfortable. Being detached leads to profound loneliness and isolation as you are mourning your true self. This card encourages you discover your true self through learning about your childhood and mourning the abandonment and neglect you felt.

How can the Angels help me with this?

From the Guardian Angel deck- Angel of Encouragement

You have received this card because your Angel of Encouragement has heard your cries of assistance. Don’t be surprised if you hear whispers from your Angel standing by your side offering encouragement and guidance from the Angelic Realm. Your Angel of Encouragement knows only to well how sometimes we as humans can lack confidence in ourselves and question our worthiness in the world. Your Angel doesn’t want your focusing on your lack within yourself – he wants your to focus on the gifts that you possess.

Notes from Me: I know and feel very deeply what this message is conveying to me and have the necessary tools to heal myself from the stings of my childhood. Yes, I need encourage to be my true self and to continue to share myself and my gifts with the world. So be it.

Deck- Guardian Angel Reading Cards by Debbie Malone

Card- Angel of Inspiration

You are an inspirational spiritual being who is passionate and motivated about the world you live in.

Message: You received this card because your Angel of Inspiration has seen your true potential. My dear Spiritual one, have you not seen your inner guiding light? Your Angel of Inspiration wants to remind you that you have all you need within you. At times you feel that you need to receive inspiration from above, you forget that you also inspire and have the ability to inspire those around you.

Are you feeling a little lost in the moment? Are you feeling stuck in a rut? Your Angel of Inspiration will assist you to bypass these obstacles and blockages that you are currently experiencing.

Notes from me: And so it is!

Deck-Botanical Inspirations Oracle by Lynn Aranjo

Card- Apple Blossoms- Choices, Knowledge and Illumination

” White are the flowers of apple tree, that brings us fruits of fertility.” – Unknown

The apple blossom brings the gift of illumination. Once you have opened your eyes and your heart to the real abundance all around, you free yourself from the illusion that you are lacking for something.

Notes from Me: A change in perspective is an eye opening thing. When we act from a place of gratitude in lieu of lack/ wanting/ needing etc, we will find that the universe works with us to give us what we need always whether that’s challenges, life lessons, romance in love, and blessings of grace. It’s a new year. How about changing your perspective? It can’t hurt. See the abundance all around you. Happy New Year/ New Decade Everyone!
