Question: What will the predominant energy be for the month of June

Overall Energy- 9 of Earth

Disciplined self reliance, reliable resources, restraint and self-control. The final stone placed in the foundation.

Clarifying energy- Moon- Illusion

I may not see the work of spirit in the invisible realms but I know that there are great workings going on behind the scenes. It is important to trust the mystery and remember that the material realm is an illusion.

Foundation of Energy- Page of Water

Open heartedness, childlike innocence, curiosity, beginning of intimacy and relationships, playfulness, cheerful optimism

What’s above us- 2 of Water

Harmonious partnership, loving and lasting relationship, heart connection between two souls.

I’m getting strongly nudged lately to do some internal work on myself so I can shine my light brighter to the world. This reading is basically meant for me; but, any reading can bring a message to the one who reads it so I open it up to you as well.

With that said, I’m have a solid foundation of resources that I can utilize to get me further in my spiritual development and I can rely on myself to do just that. I must always keep in mind that what is visible is not what is and that Spirit is working with me and for me to in that development. I must be optimistic and have an open heart in order to energy to flow. Now, here’s the interesting part for me. I’ve been receiving message from Spirit via my readings that there will be a partnership for me in the offing which will give me love connection that I desire. Hmm?

So it is!

Using the Angels and Ancestors Oracle deck today by Kyle Gray. I’m starting out by doing a simple two card spread. As I fanned the cards out, I ended up pulling 3 cards unbeknowst to me. The 3rd card is a bonus card and enhances the message of this reading.
My question is: Where am at currently in who I was destined to be and where am I heading to where I shall become (spiritually)

1st card- Represents the situation you are asking about or where you are with things right now.
Medicine Mother- Honor your inner knowing
” The Medicine Mother reminds you that even though you have your low lows you aren’t meant to suffer- you are here to be supported and to support others. Let her give you the loving encouragement to take the next step forward.”

2nd Card- represents what you need to know or do about it.
Eagle- See from a Higher Perspective
” It shows you that you have a real ability to take things higher and to move beyond the limitations of your ego and selfish desires.”

Bonus Card- Reinforces these two cards
Drum- Dream and Journey
” A drumbeat can become hypnotic and to send those listening into an altered state that can allow them to journey to the spiritual realms and meet their guides. There are opportunities for you to dream or to bring an inner vision into reality.”

I must always remember that no matter how grueling my work is currently as caregiver, I am supported. Support is a give and take path. I have an ability and an opportunity to see things from a higher perspective and an inner knowing. The Drum is very soothing to me and when listening to Native American drum meditations I can go inward and receive messages from my guides. This is a reminder to listen to the drum.

So it is!

Continuing with my work with the Keepers of Light deck by Kyle Gray, I did a Life Card Spread for myself. Question asked: How can I be a greater focus of support to the world?

1st Card- You and a strength/ gift you have

Paul the Venetian- Experiencing Grace

“Share your gifts with grace. Waves of inspiration and love are coming to you.

2nd Card- Your Life- What’s happening right now

Krishna- Devotion

” Trust your spiritual guidance. Your commitment has been recognized. You are loved unconditionally.”

3rd card- Something that supports your happiness

Hilarion- Divine Healing

” Honor your sensitivity. Retreat to recharge and heal. Your light can support others.”

4th card- An obstacle/ challenge you are overcoming

Diana – Focused Intention

” Think about what you desire. Set your sights high. Expect the best possible outcome.”

5th card- What your angels want you to know

El Morya- Awakening Presence

” The universe is with you. Wear a cloak of protection and love.”

6th card- What your guides want you to know

Lord Shiva- Transcendence

” Rise up. Honor your inner force. Steps are being given. Dance with the Universe.”

7th card- What your heart wants you to know

Gaia- Earth Connection

” Be mindful of the planet. Come back to Earth. Stay grounded… If you are a mother and are worrying about these duties, know that Gaia is you for your hard work and commitment. The Earth is blessed to have you.”

That is another successful, insightful and touching reading for me personally using this deck. My deepest appreciation to Spirit for guiding me to it and for Kyle Gray in creating it.

So it is!

Raccoons symbolize playfulness, courage, generosity, intelligence and adaptability. Some consider raccoons a good luck omen/ charm.

I’ve recently discovered a hole in my Spiritual practice that needed filling. I’ve always been closely connected to angels and communicate with them on the daily yet I have not worked with them recently in readings. I decided to start working with Kyle Gray’s teachings and his decks. The deck that I used today is his Keepers of the Light Oracle cards. So it begins.

I’m doing a simple two card reading for today. My focus is on my overall health and some minor issues that have developed.

Left card: represents me, where I am, my greatest strength and what I already have.

The Holy Spirit- Expect Miracles

” Remember that only love is real. Miracles will occur naturally. Spirit has your back.”

Right Card: represents what I need to know, what I need to do to tap into my strength.

Melchizedek- Higher Learning

” You have learned from your experience. More inner study is required to further progress.”

I take this as an excellent sign. I have faith in Spirit and spirit has my back. Miracles stem from love. I can and will strengthen Spirit by more study into the Higher Realm and how that can help me. Working with this deck will be an excellent start to doing so.

So it is.

While doing several readings this morning, the Bear showed up in the cards. As I know, all things are signs so I regard this as well.

( The first card is from the Good Tarot Deck by Colette Baron-Reid and the second from Native Spirit by Denise Linn. I posted the Native Spirit reading so you can look up it’s meaning. The 8 of Fire card’s message is: Gathering Momentum , celebrating swift changes, travel, transformation… )

The meanings of the Bear symbol are as follows:

-Primary meaning is strength and confidence.
-Standing against adversity, taking action and leadership
-Spirit of the bear indicates it’s time for healing or using abilities to heal yourself and others
-Bear medicine emphasizes the importance for quiet time, solitude rest
-The spirit of the bear provides strong, grounding forces.

From: http://www.spiritanimal.info

Invoke the power of the Bear totem to reflect on qualities of inner strength, fearlessness and confidence in oneself.

Today, I was nudged to use the Native Spirit deck by Denise Linn .

Question- What message does Great Spirit have for me and my tribe?

Left card- Environment
Gathering Your Tribe

You are loved and you are lovable. You deserve love. Support in all forms is flowing to you. You can relax; there is so much love around you. Communicate from your heart. Share your truth. You are safe. Diminish your time with those who do not empower you or believe in you.

You- Warrior of the Heart

You have the radiant spirit of the warrior of the light. Be impeccable in all your actions.This isn’t the time to be timid and pull back. Immense courage is filling you. Be willing to live life from your heart and not your mind. Honor your truth. Speak up for yourself.

What is hidden?
Storyteller

Live larger than life. Make the most of every experience. You can choose the meaning you give events. Find interpretations that empower you, rather than diminish you. Be the storyteller and hero of your own life. Give your personal story empowering meanings.

The Role We Play
Shape-shifter

You can be anything that you desire. Let go of attachment to your identity. See the world around you with new eyes. Be malleable. Experiment with different ways to see reality. See the point of view of others. If you haven’t been able to manifest your dreams. maybe you need to shift the way you see the person or the situation.

Outcome:
Answering the Call

You’ve been called. If you been waiting for your life to shift, the waiting is over. Your true and authentic life is happening. If you’ve been hoping for a sign, this is it. Right now, your spirit guides, ancestors and loved ones who have passed on are sending you messages, love and healing. You’ve been called: and the gateway of communications from these spirit realms are opening. Now, and in the days to come, signs will be all around you from Spirit. Watch for them.

Wow! These cards/ messages are really speaking to me and touching my heart. I have tingles. This deck has always specials messages for me. Thank you, Great Spirit, for this deep and touching message.

For all who reads this, you have been called and blessed. ❤ ❤ ❤

This morning I was curious. I wanted to know why I don’t attract attention on the things that I put out in the world- my spiritual content and my creative content. Why do I bother when rarely anyone cares? Do I keep on going or should I just close up shop? I guess you can say that I’m whining but I get so frustrated. That’s usually when I say ” Screw that” and I continue on. I decided to do a tarot reading today using The Good Tarot by Colette Baron-Reid.
If I can get any inspiration to feed my soul, this deck will do that. I actually got a beautiful response to the question? Why is nobody paying attention and how shall I continue on? Here it goes.

1. Works position- Pertains to things that you accomplish in a day

Patience- Moderation

This card reminds me that patience will bring me into recognition of and alignment to my purpose. All my needs are met even though I may not see it yet in the outside, physical world. The angels are looking out for me. Moderation in all things are required.

2. Home- Reflects people and activities connected with your home life and environment

4 of Water

Dreaming and introspection. Contemplation. Trusting in the abundance of opportunities.

3. Unexpected

Moon- Illusion

I may not see the workings of Spirit in the invisible realms but I know there is great activity “behind the scenes”. It is important to trust the mystery and remember the material realm is an illusion

4. Your role

World- Perspective

I am being called to shift my perspective on my life right now. When I remember that first and foremost an immortal soul, experiencing life as a human being I have no fear. I am a powerful co-creator in a divine partnership with Spirit. Aligning myself with Spirit, remaining unattached to outcomes. I am a conduit of miracle.

5. Outcome

Call- Purpose and true prosperity

I have everything I need right now to move forward with purpose. I am being called into a deeper and more authentic relationship with myself, with my Higher Power and with others. I am here for a reason.

So it is.
