Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t let financial challenges hang over your head. Stay in budget and act responsibly with your spending. The GreatSpirits (or whatever you call the Divine in your life) will provide what you need. So let go and trust that you’re being cared for. Worry will only make things worse.

Additional Insight:

Watch out for those little expenditures, they really add up quickly. Time to think about changing plans and looking for better deals in everything from your phone service to your retirement plans. It doesn’t take much to look at a bill and review all those “extra” fees. Question your provider and ask what the fees are really for. If you feel like you’re getting the run around, cancel the service. It won’t take long to find a better and less expensive one.

Remember you’re an adult now, and you’re responsible for your own free will and choices. Don’t let others freely take from you what you’ve worked so hard to obtain. There’s nothing worse than getting paid and only having $6 left from your paycheck because everyone else is cutting out a piece of you. Continue reading →

You could be swimming in success today, but only if you approach the day with the concept of moderation. Have patience, work toward being balanced and tolerant of others throughout the day. And please limit your consumption of food and especially drink! Remember too much of anything (good, bad or indifferent) isn’t good for you.

Additional Insight:

Be careful if you go out with your team from work. Don’t eat too much, don’t drink too much. And don’t stay away from the office for too long. The consequences could impact the rest of your week.

Everything in moderation will keep you in the good graces of those you want to impress. And if someone you’re friends with starts to get out of hand, try to take them aside and show some compassion to help them out. They may have things going on that no one else knows about. Instead of chastising them for their behavior, give them some kindness and see if there’s something going on that you can help with. Continue reading →

The Messengers Of The Divine

They are called the messengers of the Divine, the window to Universal Law and the sacred symbols of the higher consciousness. Whatever their auspicious synonym, the Tarot has been mentioned in ancient texts for 35,000 years. One such text, from the Hermetic Kaballah, tells of 108 stone tablets that lay beneath the ancient pyramids at Giza. 78 of these tablets are called the Exoteric Tarot, the remaining 30 are the ‘ Esoteric Tarot. This legend goes on to say, that one day these tablets will be uncovered and will explain the Universal Law and the soul’s path through the cycle of rebirth.

In 1909, Arthur Edward Waite encouraged Pamela Colman Smith to produce a tarot deck with appeal to the world of art that would have significance behind the symbols, and thus make the deck more important than tarot packs previously used for centuries. The result was the unique Rider-Waite Tarot deck, initially published in 1910. It has endured as the world’s most popular 78-card tarot deck.

The innovative cards, including the 56 Minor Arcana, depict full scenes with figures and symbols. Pamela Smith’s ability to capture the subtleties of emotion and experience, has made the Rider-Waite Tarot the basis for the designs of many 20th Century packs.

Modern Tarot decks typically contain 78 cards which are divided into two sections. Continue reading →
