Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Two of Pentacles

 

Two of Penacles

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Abundance over flows and you’ll have more than you can carry. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Family and friends will be there when you need an extra hand or two.


Additional Insight:

Try to keep all your goodies in one basket and focus on keeping things neat and tidy. You’ll need to create room for the overflow that comes your way during the next few days.

Remember abundance comes in many forms, from health, happiness, relationships and financial to nearly everything else in your life.

Be watchful and careful with your new found basket of plenty. Keep it safe, store it in a secure place and keep the hoards of little ants that want to get in and take a piece.

Getting what you want isn’t always the end of all your worries. Sometimes it can merely replace one set of issues with another. Be protective and cautious. Don’t go out willy nilly and try to save the world. You can’t!

Take care of your friends, family and those who are the most near and dear to you. You’ll have plenty to help out those who are most in need that are near to your heart. But you’ll have to learn how to say “No” to those who are looking for a free ride. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ace of Wands – Inverted

Ace of Wands - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Get grounded! The source of strength today is in the practical and physical actions you take. If you want your growth to be stable and strong, you must put down roots, grow them deep and remain grounded under the surface. Be ambitious, take pride in yourself and what you’re doing. You’ll create the self-sufficiency you’re looking for by putting your thoughts into action!


Additional Insight:

Wands bring us the essence of Enterprise & Inaction, Inspiration & Pessimism, Distinction & Disregard.

The Ace is tells us the day is about us, about being number one, affecting energy from within and your responsibility and accountability for what you think, say and do. Be aware of all your actions today. It’s definitely a time to be Mindful.

Being flighty and day dreaming or wishing things were different isn’t going to bring about the change you seek. Nothing happens by simply dreaming about them. You must put action and energy behind your dreams and exercise your magik.

No matter what happens around you, beneath the surface keep your mind/body/spirit connected to the foundation of your beliefs. Ground your energy to the core of Mother Earth and get your head out of the clouds. That higher inspiration is great; but you must put your enterprising thoughts and ideas into action.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Two of Swords

Two of Swords

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Working together you can save the world and recover what’s been lost. Approaching challenges with love and compassion for each other will make your magik stronger and you can achieve anything, even amongst the thorns. Strength, endurance and respect will win the day!


Additional Insight:

Swords bring us messages of Strength & Weakness, Endurance & Struggle, Respect & Animosity.

When you work together with those around you, especially those who are close to you, the strength to endure is emphasized. If you feel alone with no one to turn to, that partner is your inner higher spirit. Because you’re never truly alone.

When you align your energies with this perspective you each see the challenges before you from a different angle that allows all hidden issues to be exposed. Don’t work on problems as if you’re the one who has the only right answer. The endurance is promoted by the respect you have for each view that’s present.

All ideas are valid and should be considered. Take the best of all suggestions, merge them together and you’ll create a plan to overcome the struggles and diminish the weaknesses that may appear to be holding you back. Continue reading

Psychoneuroimmunology

When Alternative Information Goes Wrong – Losing Our Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom from the Past

I read something today that annoyed me a little and felt the need to point it out.

I was looking for information to answer a question I was asked about the concept of how our thoughts create how we feel. The questioner found the work of Louise Hay and wanted more information concerning this approach for healing. Additional authors and places to look to broaden the understanding.

While I had a few resources, I wanted to find some additional and more academic sources to share. If you don’t know, this concept of healing from a science perspective is called: Psychoneuroimmunology. Say what? Yeah, it’s a big word but it’s not new. Not by a long shot.

The academic concept Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is:
the study of the interaction between psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems of the human body. PNI takes an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating psychology, neuroscience, immunology, physiology, genetics, pharmacology, molecular biology, psychiatry, behavioral medicine, infectious diseases, endocrinology, and rheumatology.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ten of Swords

Ten of Swords  Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Stop punishing yourself at every turn and for every thought, move or action you make. It’s not worth it to hold yourself up to a standard that you know no one else can meet. Time to practice some self-love and forgiveness! Only you can stop the bleeding!


Additional Insight:

All that anger you’re turning inward isn’t doing you any good at all. You’re only putting more pressure on yourself to be perfect. It makes no sense for you to be open and welcoming of others and their faults, but not of your own. Stop it! Seriously. Just Stop It!

You can not go back and change what has happened or what you’ve gone through. The only thing the past has to give you today are lessons and knowledge to help you avoid the same mistakes now and in the future.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. ~ George Santayana

Santayana’s entire quote gives that famous line much more meaning:
Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Tis The Time Of Beltain & Samhain

Arctic Wolf Fire

“Arctic Wolf Fire”
By Tom-in-Silence

The Festival of Bel’s Fire

May You Have A Wonderful Holiday Celebration!

 

Region has a great deal of influence over early religious and/or spiritual celebrations. Especially in ancient times. While the Celts are generally seen as an individual group of people today, they were diverse and individual regional clans in their time.

They shared mythological stories, or perspectives, but they weren’t exactly the same. Different regions may hold a different set of deities on a higher level than others, or not include them at all.

Because of this, Bel has many names and many stories are attributed to him through out the old Celtic countries of Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Even Gaul was included in that region of Celtic culture (Gaul (Latin: Gallia) was a region of Western Europe during the Iron Age and Roman era, encompassing present day France, Luxembourg and Belgium, most of Switzerland, Northern Italy, as well as the parts of the Netherlands and Germany on the west bank of the Rhine. ~ Wikipedia:Gaul).

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knave of Cups – Inverted

 

Knave of Cups - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

There are plenty of fish in the water to choose from. Stop worrying about the one that got away. Focus on you and what you’re doing to sustain yourself in these waters. You don’t need to change your spots to please each person who crosses your path. Just be yourself.


Additional Insight:

It’s hard to remember which face you’re showing to each person who crosses your path. Trying to be something others like and changing to be something else for a different person takes a lot of energy. It also takes a big toll on your emotions and well-being.

You’re not going to be able to please everyone in your life at all times. And you don’t have to either. Those who don’t like this aspect of you or that perspective you hold about that topic aren’t the people you need to worry about. The only person who counts, is you! And if you can’t live with yourself, no one else is going to stay by your side either.

You already know that it’s not up to someone else to make you happy. Why are you trying to make others happy by being who they expect or want you to be? You have to be accountable for your emotions, but they don’t? Say what?! Continue reading
