The Steampunk Tarot by Aly Fell

Make your own magik. Don’t wait for someone else to make it for you.  If you leave it up to someone else, you will not be guaranteed to get what you really need or even want. You have the ability, understanding and clarity to create the life you desire. Take the chance, trust in yourself and manifest your dreams.

Additional Insight:

You can’t simply dream your goals into reality. You can’t sit and think about them and hope they appear by osmosis.  You can’t wish for them to happen or hope someone else creates them for you. Doing so will either never provide the space for them to occur, or get you something that isn’t what you needed or maybe even wanted.

It’s your life and you must be the one who takes control and leads it down the path you are drawn to follow. You must work at choosing the direction, prepare for the journey, gather the tools and make a plan to guide the way. 

You have access to an infinite source of energy to get it done. You need little more than to align yourself, thoughts and actions to the Divine force in your life. With that spiritual connection, you can pull forth the inspiration, creative skills and the will to manifest what you need, when you need it.

Do your research and learn the ways of the road. Read everything you can get your hands on, even those things that are critical of your journey. Looking at all sides will help you avoid pitfalls that others have fallen into that have caused them to give up. It will provide you with perspectives that allow you to see a bigger picture with alternatives through the maze. It can even help you be prepared with counter arguments when the nay-sayers come calling or try to get in your way. Continue reading →

Relationships have their ups and downs and they all take work. No one is perfect, not even you. So stop holding your partner up to a standard that even you can’t meet. Those with long-term relationships learned to communicate with respect early on. Not with hurtful words of revenge. Change your tune and ring the bell of peace. You can resolve the problem, but only if you agree to work at putting respect back into the conversation.

Additional Insight:

Life is full of varying types of relationships and each one requires mutual respect to survive. Business partners, co-workers and even simple acquaintances require a measure of esteem to be productive. But those closest to you deserve your respectful consideration more than any other.

Many have tried to put words around what “Love” is or what it means. It’s compassion, its caring, it’s being there, it’s trust. All of that is true, but none of that means anything if it shares space with disdain. There’s only one word that describes a successful relationship, Respect. 

Respect doesn’t wander. It doesn’t criticize or put down someone to friends or other family. It doesn’t disregard opinions, thoughts or dreams. it doesn’t walk away when one is in need of comfort. It doesn’t create a lack of confidence or re-enforce feelings of negative self-worth. And respect doesn’t judge or laugh at another in any way or from any subject or source.

Respect creates trust. It opens the door to the inner soul and allows others to bear their intimate secrets. It creates strength in partnerships because nothing is hidden. Nothing can be taken for granted and nothing outside the relationship can be manipulated by others. It builds a bond that cannot be undone, because all things are on the table and shared equally.

Stop looking back, unless you’re trying to decide what else to cut out of your life. Dwelling on the past hurts only keeps you and in their grip of pain. It negates all that you have learned, changed and improved. It takes you back to the beginning and forces you to relive all the agony and anger. Stop giving control to those past events that are causing you to be jaded. You say you’ve let them go, so do it. Release their energy from altering your perspectives and open up to a brand new, happier and brighter future.  

Additional Insight:

Yes there are stages of letting go, but take a look at how long you’ve been throwing daggers at the past. All those “cute” social media shares you’ve been doing, are keeping your energy, mind and heart rood deeply to those events you should have let go of by now. Stop replaying the record of anger and judgement. You’re only doing more harm to yourself than the one you’re trying to get back at.

Revenge to “get back” at someone is a wasted endeavor. The one who hurt you isn’t going to “get the message”. They’re not going to read your tweet, or see your post and come crawling to you for forgiveness. They’re not going to say I’m sorry and tell you they were wrong or you were right. All they’re going to do is look at the whole of your messages and say “boy am I glad I got away from that nut case”. Continue reading →

The Steampunk Tarot by Aly Fell

Look for those who will help energize your travels, empower your journey and share in the inspiration of ideas. Be uplifted by willingness to help and sharing their ideas. You may discover each of you have some common talents that help each other along the way. Combine that knowledge and experience to make a creative and successful adventure that will more abundant for everyone.

Additional Insight:

Even those who think they deserve to be on the High Horse can learn a thing or two from those who haven’t reached their stature yet. Don’t get so “high and mighty” into thinking you don’t have a thing or two left to learn.

The person who believes they know it all,
really knows little to nothing.

Open your travels to those around you and walk together on the parallel path. You don’t have to lead the way, nor do you have to follow. The best partnerships are those that walk side by side and share in the knowledge and experiences from all sides.

You have something to learn today and you also have something to be shared. Do it with compassion and a welcoming sense of excitement. You’ll be able to have some fun, ease the burdens and even feel uplifted from the anticipation of what’s around the next turn.  Continue reading →
