Forms of Spirit Communication

Communicating With Spirit Through Divination & Psychic Tools

The following section is a contribution from one of the regular members to my original message board, Panther Witch. She has graciously allowed me to post part of her research on the History of Divination from the board. I have made a few additions & edits.

Divination:
(From Merriam Webster’s Online Dictionary)
From the Middle English “Divinacioun”,
From Latin “Divination-, divinatio, from divinare”.
Approximate first usage: 14th century

1. The art or practice that seeks to foresee or foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge usually by the interpretation of omens or by the aid of supernatural powers.
2. Unusual insight; intuitive perception.
3. The practice of sensing energy patterns around a person, animal, place or thing and interpreting messages from that energy.

The word divination comes from the Latin word “divinare” or to be inspired by the Divine. Traditionally, it never has mattered which God or Deity has inspired the events foreseen, but almost all religions have had their versions of diviners. It is actually more common than most people realize. Continue reading →

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Nine of Pentacles

May22

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Show your love and compassion today. Be at peace and help others find their way to the serenity of nature. You never know how far a little kindness can go until you see it in action. You’ll also notice that what goes around, does indeed come around and you’ll receive that which you have given.

Additional Insight:

With Venus still in retrograde, many are struggling with communication and relationships. On top of everything else they’re going through, this is one more straw that didn’t need to be added to the camel’s back. If this is you, then take a deep breath and relax. It’s not as bad as you think it is. If you’re fortunate to have escaped the effects of the retrograde thus far, then share your kindness. You maybe on the receiving end before all this is over.

Give someone a pat on the back for a good effort or job well done. Give someone a hug when you see they’re struggling. Spend some time snuggling with your partner or kids this evening. The energy of touch is a great healer and it’s an easy and effortless way to show someone you care.

Hold on tight, and you’ll swing through the day with ease and a little fun. Take time to find the joy in your efforts today. Even the little things can make you feel blessed. At the day’s end, you’ll be able to look over all the tiny gifts and see just how many good things have come your way during the day.

Additional Insight:

Don’t play coy, you might become distracted and lose your grip. You may have felt as though you’ve been hanging on by a thread. But don’t stare at your hand and wonder when it’s going to break. You may create a self-fulfilling prophecy. Instead take noticed that you’re still hanging in there! You have the strength and determination to survive. You not only can do this, you are doing it..and you have been for a while!

There’s no reason you can’t swing a little on the vine and take notice of the beautiful things around you and the little blessings that come your way. Find the joy and attract more of the same happiness to you for the remainder of the week.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

The battles this week have zapped all your energy and worn you down. Take time to replenish your mind, body and spirit. Sleep in this weekend, find an adventure to go on and get away from the stress and anxiety. There are plenty of free things to do around your town. A walk in the park, a picnic, a trip to the local museum, or a community gathering. Find something that gets your mind off things; even if it’s only for a few hours.

Additional Insight:

You’ve gone through a great number of battles in the past couple of weeks. Big and small, part of your world or from others dragging you into their world have all taken their toll. At some point your spirit needs a break and a chance to rest and recuperate.

For today and this weekend, take time to relax for your mind, body and spirit. Get physical rest for your body. Go out and enjoy the late spring weather at a local park for your mind. Take a little time to sit and meditate on your inner self and your connection to the Divine force in your life for you soul. These three little exercises will help you release your own anxiety and stress more than you might realize.

The big message for today and this weekend….Shut out the negative world and focus on YOU.

Retrogrades : Venus & Mercury

May17

Venus 15 May 2012 to 27 Jun 2012

Venus Love

This week Venus moved into its retrograde state. It’s affects will influence our emotions until the end of June.

How Retrogrades Impact Our Lives
Sometimes when we look out into space, other planets appear to be traveling backwards through the sky. Although planets are always moving forward, an optical illusion throughout the year causes the planets to appear to be traveling backwards. We call this motion a retrograde.

From an astrological perspective, these optical illusions impact the flow of energy here on Earth. Thus each planetary retrograde affects us as individuals and as a global society. How they affect us depends on the energy of the planet and it’s impact in the astrological charts. Continue reading →

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Peace is found through healing the wounds within. The more you keep inside the bigger the challenges may seem. It’s ok to pull back the curtain and look at the issues on a personal level. Allow yourself to search through element of your life and determine what issue is affecting your circumstances today. When you face those, you can heal, overcome and let go of the past that is holding onto you.

Additional Insight:

Don’t spend the day feeling sorry for yourself and playing soulful music. Apply your spiritual beliefs to the dilemmas you face and look within to determine what lessons are affecting your day. Don’t wallow in the energy that is holding you down and making matters worse than they are. Things are stressful, but you will overcome and find peace through healing and letting go.

Sometimes we can protect ourselves from the rain, by showing others love and compassion. When you walk the path of kindness, tolerance and acceptance you heal the world around you. In doing so, you’ll find that even if someone tries to turn your world upside down, your cup will still remain full and overflowing with blessings.

Additional Insight:

The real test of the day is walking the path of spirit in the real world. Putting your beliefs and perspectives into practice can be challenging at times. And you will face those challenges today. Take a moment to reflect on what you believe and how you want to live your life. When you’re confronted with a challenge today, consciously make the choice to Walk Your Talk©! A simple pat on the back, rub of a shoulder or kind word to someone who is filled with anxiety and anger can show your compassion and kindness. Even when their anger is directed squarely at you.

Soul Mates, Twin Souls & Karmic Relationships

May15

Making Sense Of Spiritual Relationships

Finding Love In The Universe

We develop connections with other spirits and give them names to differentiate between them. We have Twin Souls, Soul Mates, Karmic relationships and the all important one, Spirit Mates. Each one has a purpose and each one is different. But in the commercialized world, their purpose has become blurred and confused.

All of our relationships are spiritual in nature. From metaphysical theory, we make agreements with others while in spirit to share time and space together here on the physical plane once we’ve incarnated.

We also make agreements with other spirits to help guide us through our incarnated path to learn lessons, share guidance and pay or redeem karma or both.

Each of these agreements are designed for one main purpose, to help our spirit learn, grow and work toward enlightenment. But that doesn’t mean that each of these agreements are the same. Continue reading →

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knight of Swords

May15

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You don’t need brute strength to win the battle; you need a cause that’s pure and true. Rise above the pettiness and see beyond the mundane. Others are taking their frustrations out on you because they can’t control the situations or people around them. It’s not your fault, but you’re in the line of fire. So duck.

Additional Insight:

You have your own battles to deal with, don’t let someone pull you into theirs. Overcome the ridiculous drama and take time to raise your view above the trees. Sit still for a moment, close your eyes and imagine your consciousness moving up a staircase to your higher Divine Conscious mind. Walk out onto the balcony and survey what’s before you. From here you can see everything clearly and understand which battles are worth fighting and where to position your “troops” for victory. Keep you cause pure and true; and you will win the day!
