Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Fool – Inverted

Jul25
The Fool Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You maybe flying upside down to hide from the face of adversity. But your unconventional approach is helping you traverse through the dangers and attacks of those that are attempting to knock you off your glider. Let your inner insight show the way and you will continue your successful ride. You may not see it right now, as healing is trying to occur at the same time. But you will succeed on your flight and things really will be ok.

 

Additional Insight:

You’re not a fool, though some think you are. And for now that’s probably a good thing, as it means they are highly underestimating you. That mistake is in your favor! Don’t worry about the snakes who are trying to slither their way across your path and muck up the works. They have no real power and when confronted, most of them will run away with their heads cut off. And the one that’s left has already sealed their own fate of failure, stuck in the weeds of darkness, anger and ego. There’s nothing you need to do about them, except stay on your unconventional course.

The key is to smile in the face of the obstacles they try to put in your path. Because you already know through your insight that you have gotten through their tangled webs and weeds. You’ve been able to see their attempts to keep you under their control, and so those have failed. Keep focused on the direction of your glider, you’re heading up the beauty and blossoms of the garden. No one can stop that, except you.

Allow the success from above and below to ease your weary heart and provide the healing you need for the remainder of your journey. Remember balance does not come from the ends of the spectrum, it comes from the middle where stability resides. Stay balanced on your glider and you will be able to continue your successful ride. Don’t allow anger to push you off course. Don’t allow an over optimistic view to cloud your sight and not take care of something you know needs to be done. Rather, continue your course, glide your way through the remaining obstacles with ease and you’ll be able to hoist the battle flag of success. You really will be ok.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing – The Chariot – Inverted

Jul24
The Chariot - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t turn your world upside down out of anger. Knee jerk reactions are never a good idea and they have not done you any great service in the past. You may discover what you became angry at isn’t accurate, or isn’t the whole truth. Set your anger aside and wait until you calm down before you put any actions into place. Patience and walking away until you calm down is the better course of action today.

 

Additional Insight:

You may already be living with the consequence of reacting to a situation first, instead of thinking it through. Don’t make that mistake again. Allowing your emotions to rule your path, whither it’s out of anger or from being overjoyed, can hide important details from your view. Details that if you had paid attention to them, would have altered your decisions.

Take off the rose colored glasses, or give yourself time to let the anger subside. Think things through, make sure you understand what consequences can occur and then decide if you’re willing to live with those choices. If your choice affects others in your life, make sure you talk to them first. They may not be in agreement and you may lose more than you bargained for.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Four of Swords

Jul23
Four of Swords

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Allow yourself to be cradled in love and compassion. Rest and release the stress that has overwhelmed you and taken the color of joy out of your life. You are not alone, you will always be held by your inner spirit and the Divine in your life. So while it may seem like everything has come crashing in, you will survive and your kingdom will find brightness again.

 

Additional Insight:

There are many ways to release stress from your life. Meditation, exercise, even giving yourself permission to have a good cry can help you let go of all that you’ve held inside. The only real constant in the Divine Universe is change. So while things are hard today, and the stress of loss or struggle seems to hang over your head, know it will not last forever.

Don’t allow your fear and anxiety to get the best of you now. Don’t lose faith in your beliefs, or in yourself. Rather now is the time to fall back on what you believe and to remember you are never alone in your fight to survive.

Start your day with a smile, even though it maybe hard and a simply affirmation to remind you that you can and will get through this!

I can because I am one with the Divine Universe
I choose to live with joy in the here and now.
I face each and every day with empowerment and love.
And So It Is.

Sunday’s Homily: When Tragedy Strikes

Jul22

When Bad Things Happen To Good People

The Alpha's

The Gift of Compassion

In the wake of the Aurora, Colorado “Batman Rises” theater shooting on July 20th, many are asking the question “Why?”. “Why would a supposed benevolent creator allow such a thing to happen?” Good questions that of course are not easily answered.

From the pagan perspective we do not view the Divine as an outside omnipotent being, aka “God”. For us the Divine is a collective. You are not the God, I am not the Goddess, but you and I and all things, seen and unseen, make up the Divine Consciousness. As such, the Divine is not good or bad energy; it’s just energy. Good, bad or indifferent the Divine really is everything. How we (we the incarnated being) express that energy is what’s important and where we find the answer to how can bad things happen to good people. Continue reading →

What are they and do they exist in our world today? Find out this and more on Monday night!

You can listen online and join in the chat room to share your perspective or ask questions for the panel to contemplate and address. Or you can check out the may ways you can listen on the go, at home, at work or in your car. Simply go to the app that allows you to stream the show and search for Tenacity Radio, then save it as a favorite.

We always have a lot of fun! And we’d love to have you with us.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Lovers – Inverted

Jul20
The Lovers - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Even when it’s cloudy, you shine as bright as the sun. How your mood goes, so goes the reflection of the world around you. When you hold yourself up with pride, self confidence and joy, your energy can shine through even the toughest of times. That expression is then reflected back to you in the people you meet, the situations that cross your path and opportunities that come your way.  Remember to express the positive today, with a smile and compassion; even if it’s only for yourself.

 

Additional Insight:

Put a brand on your day with positive energy, compassion and love of self, and it will be reflected in all things you do. Remember you attract what you put out through thought and action. If you’re tired of the negative, bad luck, struggle and strife, then you’re the only one who can change it.

Stop looking in the mirror and seeing a failure or someone who isn’t beautiful or attractive. You are the perfect embodiment of the Divine and with your connection to the greater Divine Consciousness you can create the person and world you desire.

It starts with a smile, a look at the self and a good daily affirmation to remind you of your Divine perfection. Try this one:

I can because I am one with the Divine Universe
I am the embodiment of Divine Creation.
I love and approve of myself, and see others with love and compassion.
And So It Is.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ten of Pentacles

Jul19
Ten of Pentacles

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Take time to celebrate the sweetness in your life. Things aren’t all bad. But when you only focus on the negative, you give no energy to the positive to show itself. Your baskets can be filled to the brim, when move your energy forward to the things that bring you joy. Work on your passions and you can and will develop the abundance you seek.

 

Additional Insight:

The energy you put forth today will set the return for tomorrow and the rest of this year. Be careful what you think about and how you express your desires and plans. Keep positive and visualize your success as if it’s already here. Help your dreams to manifest in the ways you’ve been planning and dreaming about. You can do this and more importantly..You deserve the success and abundance your planning for!
