Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You don’t always have to be at war with the world. Being strong and resilient doesn’t mean getting into a fight every time you don’t agree with someone, or they don’t agree with you. Everyone has a right to their own view. If you want respect from others for the concepts you hold dear, then you must also provide them with that same respect. If you don’t question or challenge your own views, how are you going to be sure they’re the right perspectives for your path ahead? Allow yourself to feel safe, secure and in tune with your own ideals. After all if they can’t stand up to your scrutiny, how are they going to stand up to someone else’s?

Additional Insight:

If you feel you must always defend your beliefs, views or perspectives, then problem may not be with those who challenge you. Rather it may be an issue within yourself concerning something that doesn’t really feel right in you.

If we don’t hold our own views up to review once in a while, we limit our chances and abilities to expand our knowledge and apply our new learning to our old ideas. They’re either going to hold up to the scrutiny, or they need to be updated and refined. Forcing them to stay the same, clips the wings of the Crow magik you have within you. It’s never easy to change, but change is the only constant in the Universe. And it’s the one constant we need to keep moving forward.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Allow the little child within to enjoy the day and find excitement in the little things that come your way. Enjoy the fun and excitement in today’s adventures and you’ll create a relaxing day filled with wonderment. Smile and the world smiles with you. Help someone who’s having a bad day, get a little lift from your good mood. Success and compassion fill the weekend and go along way to healing what’s been going backwards in your life.

Additional Insight:

You can choose to be annoyed and set upon a short fuse; or you can be the light that brings the rest of the world out of the doom and gloom. The knave is childhood innocence, looking for the next fun moment and exciting event. Let the child within come out to play today and you’ll not only bring about glad tidings in your own day and weekend; but you’ll help someone else lift up their spirits too.

What we express to the world around us, is exactly what we get back. We attract and create more of the same energy we express to the world around us. You create what you think and that creates how you feel, which creates how you interact with others.

If you’re anxious, you’ll make others anxious. If you’re stressed and filled with anxiety, or frustration and anger; than that’s exactly what you’ll pull toward you from others. Continue reading →

Share the burden, you don’t have to do everything alone. Asking for help is not a weakness, it’s a strength that allows you to achieve success together. Together you can read more, research more, do more and complete more. You move the projects and activities forward with more achievement and more success.

Additional Insight:

You can struggle and waste time, slowing down the process of getting things done and risking the loss of opportunities that are coming your way.

Or, you can swallow your pride and ask for help in order to achieve your goals and put your thoughts and plans into action. You can be ready when opportunities arise. You can get more done by delegating and letting go of that task, so you can focus on a bigger item that does need your sole attention.

Micro-managing is another way of saying you have no faith or trust in those around you. It means you don’t think anyone else can accomplish what needs to be done, except you. Micro-managing is a concept of ego and arrogance. It’s not the action of a good manager.

Those around you may do things a little differently than you would, but that doesn’t make their way wrong or ineffective. Trust those who can and are willing to help you out. You put them in the position to be part of your world, or part of your team. So give them the respect to do the job, to do it well and to get it done. Continue reading →

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Tuck your head between your legs and …give yourself a hug! There’s enough going on in your life to struggle against. Stop trying to join in the fray and help those determined to destroy you and keep you down in the muck and fear of the past. If they want to be there, you may need to let them go so you can move forward on your own.

Additional Insight:

You can’t make others see that their own fear is keeping them in despair and struggle. If they’re not willing to look within themselves and discover their own lessons; you can’t make them do it. But you don’t need to join them there and ignore what you have learned about your own patterns of action or inaction and moving your path forward.

Self sacrifice doesn’t mean wallowing in self-pity and living in the past so that someone else feels good about who they are. It doesn’t mean constant struggle against things you know can be changed and overcome. It doesn’t mean fighting against the cycle of hardship to remain in that continual downward spiral, just so someone else feels safe and secure in their own fear and stagnation. 

Your sacrifice might allow someone you care about to feel justified to continue walking the path of their same old negative patterns. Constantly fighting against the world, you and themselves. But you’re not doing yourself any favors by ignoring everything you’ve been working to change, so they can keep you anchored in your own negative actions and mired in all the fears you’ve worked so hard to let go of and overcome.
