Tarot and Oracle Readings with other Spiritual Matters by Barb Ward

I attended an online Facebook Live event on Sunday with Kyle Gray. It was very informative and enlightening. During the event, he asked that each of us take out his Keepers of the Light deck and do a two card reading for ourself. Here was mine.

First card- My gifts- what I already have

Brigid- Inner Strength

Move back to wholeness. Recognize that you have the power.
Your spiritual fire is growing within. Recognize the power of your soul is greater than you think.

Second card- Information inside my heart that is coming through

El Moyra – Awakening Presence

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

Spiritual protections is important at this time.Ensure that you are cleansing your energy before putting on protection. El Moyra is here with a legion of angels to help you understand where you are at now, fire up your divine connection and detach from dramas, people, places and emotions that no longer serve you.

And so it is.

Kingfisher crossed my path today while doing a daily message reading. I didn’t know much about this bird so I thought that I’d look up it’s spirit message and it is a strong one.

Kingfisher’s message is about intuition/ grounding, New Paths and Balance

Kingfisher appears to advise you of increased mental and spiritual activity. Since your psychic perceptions are increasing, it is important that you connect with the earth to remain grounded. He will teach you that listening to your intuition, you will be able to manifest your destiny. Trust your feelings, go deeper than what is on the surface, carefully watch what is going on around you, and listen to your dreams and visions.

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!

Beginning of the Week- Trader- Exchange Energy to Create Abundance

Middle of the week- Sun- Enjoy Success and Happiness.

” Know that the doors are opening for you . Follow up new ventures, projects and ideas. Connect with the inner fire that is driving you forward.”

Grounding Force- Stargazer- Set your Sights Higher

” Go beyond your limitations and believe that the impossible is possible.”

So, some good energy here to work with I’d say.
So be it.

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.
