Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Keep the curtain closed and don’t let others see the magik that goes on under the table. Keep your secrets to yourself, they’re weapons that can be used against you. Keep your focus on your mission at hand and work on bringing it to manifestation through your own inner healing. Your wings are ready to open. Now you must give them the strength to help you soar.

Additional Insight:

As much as you want to share what’s going on, it’s best to keep your secret in the immediate family. Share with your partner (business or personal), but not with your best friends. They can unwittingly undermine your efforts.

Today is all about having the upper hand and getting the advantage in the match. Focus on your tasks and get them completed today. Don’t put them off or delay submitting your applications. Much of what you need right now, will come out of those opportunities.

The process to get things done will also generate the healing for success you need right now. Make sure you’re being mindful about the process. Don’t become jaded or discouraged in the process. You’ll create that defeatist attitude in the energy that attaches to your application and the process to approve it.

This is your time to shine and you’ll do so if you stay focused and stick to your guns. Don’t allow others to tell you it can’t be done. Don’t share your journey with those who have little faith in the world. You don’t need their negativity joining the process to succeed. Even if you want them to know what’s happening to help them not worry, it’s best if you simply keep mum!

Remain positive and encouraged. Believe in yourself even though you may feel that no one else does. Gain strength from your immediate partner and allow them to support you in the ways they can or choose to. Help them help you and together your energies will create the possibilities for the success you’ve been waiting for. Especially now, when you’re both working for the same thing.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Pick your battles. Not every fight is worth having and not every cause is worthy or just. Part of the wisdom of being a Guardian in battle is knowing who to trust, who to listen to and who to stand up for. Even those who call you their friend, may have underlying motives to keep you on their side. Make sure you know what the real fight is, before you join in.

Additional Insight:

Bullies never tell you the truth about the wars they have started. There’s always a hidden agenda and selfish reason for their war upon the weak. Those that try to manipulate and control by fear do so because they are constantly afraid of being judged, they worry about not knowing what’s going on in every situation and being laughed at. Their fear is not your burden to carry.

No one should follow orders from a self-imposed ruler who didn’t earn their title and isn’t qualified to hold it. Even a leader who was forced into power has the choice to step up to the plate and rule with honor, or fall back on their weakness and govern from fear and ignorance.

Swords represent Strength & Weakness, Struggle & Endurance, Animosity & Respect. If the one giving you orders doesn’t use their strength in fairness to all, then question their motives. If they constantly create struggle for those they command, then question their wisdom. If they generate animosity instead of respect and a desire to work for all, then they are not worth your time or effort defending their cause.

Your allegiance is to your soul, your karma and your path. Not to the blind faith placed in someone who doesn’t deserve it. You are responsible for which choices you make in life. And that includes following orders that are unfair or wrong.

A knight is as much of a leader as the ruler of the kingdom. By their action or inaction they condone the actions of their King or Queen. Others look up to them as much, and sometimes even more than they do the person on the throne of power. Make sure your actions can be judged as fair, honorable and just. Even if that means switching sides in the battle. You are the measuring stick that’s held against your own beliefs. Do your best, try your hardest and you’ll be awarded for your efforts in Walking your Talk©.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Even a hermit must shine a light on his path to see where he’s been and where he’s going. Stop wandering around in the dark and take a moment to look at what you’ve gone through and what it has been trying to teach you. When you can see the lessons, you’re better able to turn back to the path you’re on and make the necessary course corrections.

Additional Insight:

It’s very hard to tell where you’re going when you’re not looking. Stumbling down the path with out understanding how you built the road creates the struggle you’re going through. It’s time to stop making decisions on blind faith and start looking at how you got here. Otherwise, you may be doomed to repeat the same pattern over and over.

For a moment, look back over the last year and be honest with yourself about the decisions you’ve made. Did you make them out of fear. Did you make them regardless of the warning signs. Did someone tell you what they saw you doing and their prediction came to pass because you didn’t heed their warning?

Now look back over the last 5 years. Do you see the same pattern of struggle and fear on your path? Or the same pattern of ignoring the warning signs and charging ahead without thinking things through? You’re the one who makes the choices that built the road you’re on. If you can’t see how you’re drawing the blue prints, you’re not going to be able to build a smooth and reliable road that doesn’t have pot holes, gaps or unstable bridges.

You’re the only one who can make the assessment of your choices. And you are more than capable of shining the light on your decisions and actions. The hard part is going to be doing it without fear. Don’t condemn yourself. Don’t punish yourself for making what you now know as the wrong decisions. Creating guilt is not the purpose of this exercise. Look at your path to this point with the eyes of an expert builder who is assessing the plans in order to correct the blue prints for the future.

You can make a better road. One that will provide for your journey with ease, beautiful scenery and maybe even some nice pit stops along the way to enjoy new opportunities and distractions. You create your adventure. How about creating one you’ll like looking back on and saying “I did that”.

When I published this post I was notified that this is the 855th post on my blog. Not sure why that number stood out today, but there it is. Now if you’ve followed my blog for a little bit of time, you know that when a number stands out I like to assess it’s meaning. Which means I put it through the analysis of Shamanistic Numerology.

The Actual: 855
The Designed: 8+5+5=18
The Calculated: 1+8=9

Nine:
The number of Divinity, bringing together all forms of mind/body/spirit into one alignment.

• This number is associated with the Universe.
• This number is associated with the Oak Tree.
• This number is associated with the Raven and Crow.
• It represents the ultimate source of everything, The All, The Divine.
• Positive Direction: When 9 is present it represents accomplishment, attaining goals or dreams, the ability to achieve influence and impact over our circumstances.
• Negative Direction: In reverse 9 can be egotistical and arrogant. Making assumptions that everything revolves around its presence. Nothing else matters and there’s nothing else to consider if it doesn’t involve itself.

Well that certainly fits the message of today. Don’t you think?

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Nurturing doesn’t mean holding on so tight that nothing can move or fly on its own. Forcing things into place will not fill your cups with abundance. The tighter your grip, the more of what you want will seep through your fingers. It’s ok to let go. If it’s meant to be what you seek will remain and bring joy.

Additional Insight:

Stop trying to “make” things happen that aren’t supposed to be in your reality. You can’t force something to your will and expect it to want to be controlled at every turn. No one wants to be manipulated or pushed into something they don’t really want.

If it was meant to be, there would be no effort in keeping it near and allowing it to bloom and grow. The more you try to force yourself down a path that isn’t meant for you, the more you miss out on when the real thing crosses in front of you.  You could focus so much on what you “want” that miss the opportunity to acquire what you really “need”.

It’s hard to live with “Let it go, if it’s meant to be it will come back to you.” But it’s harder to force yourself into believing in something only to discover it wasn’t what you needed in the first place. Sometimes we need to be alone to learn who we are and what we’re meant to do. When we focus so much energy on looking at what we think we want, we take energy away from the things that will help us move forward to what we need.

Allow the Divine Universe to bring you what you desire without effort, without fight and without struggle. When the time is right, it will arrive. Until then, go with the flow and put your time and attention to what you need to work on in the here and now. It may not be what you want. But it probably is exactly what you need.

Allow yourself to be loved by not being so critical of who and what you are. You are your own worst enemy and find ways to pull yourself down from the strides you’ve made. No one is perfect. And we all make mistakes. Don’t condemn yourself saying or doing something you shouldn’t have done. Instead, ask for forgiveness and change your actions to learn the lessons that will keep you from doing it again.

Additional Insight:

Swords represent Strength & Weakness, Struggle & Endurance, Animosity & Respect.

When you are overly critical of yourself, you’re allowing animosity to rule the day. It weakens your resolve to move forward with positive energy and change things in your life for the better.

Constant criticism of self impacts your perspective and hides the spiritual lessons you face as well. Whither they’re karmic or not, they are lessons you selected to review and learn in this lifetime. It’s much easier to see the lessons and understand what’s going on and why, when you can view yourself with compassion and respect.  That self love, allows you to see the paths in front of you and choose the one that overcomes the hurdles and makes your path forward a little easier.

Don’t tear yourself down for making a mistake. You’re only human. And no person on the face of this planet is perfect!  If you injured someone, then apologize and ask them for forgiveness. Try to explain why you acted or reacted the way you did, but not as a means to justify your actions. Rather try to discover the trigger that set you off and perhaps you can ask them to help you change your pattern of reaction for the future.

No said you had to go at this alone. No one said you can’t ask someone else for help. No one said you had to endure the struggle and fight every moment against your self and your own self interests. And the truth is, you’re not alone! No matter where you are in the world, there is someone who will be on your side and help you innovate, adapt and overcome the self punishments that keep you down. All you have to do is open your eyes and look for the hand that’s reaching out to you. Even if that hand is coming from within your own spirit.

~~~ Let me share a little story: Continue reading →

If you don’t take care of what you have harvested, someone else will come in and take it. Don’t be left with nothing in your pantry. A garden doesn’t grow when not tended to. Nor can it be sustained only by maintenance. The same plants will only provide so much fruit before they dry up. Don’t let fear hold you back from expanding your field and planting your seeds wisely.

Additional Insight:

Whither you’re venture is a project you’re interested in, or a business, don’t be afraid of its success. Everything needs to grow and your fear of getting bigger will not only stop the growth, it will eventually kill what you have already created.

Competitors will see your weakness and come in to take what you have built so far. Leaving you and yours with nothing. Not even the garden you have tended to for so long. Don’t become complacent and feel satisfied with what’s on the table. You will use it up and have nothing left to share with your family or friends.

Use the work of others as inspiration. They became successful because they believed in themselves and took the risks that allowed them to expand. Whither the expansion is financial, people, supplies or equipment, or all of these, it is needed to not only grow your project but to sustain it as well.

Trust in your abilities that you can handle what has already been put on your plate and more. Don’t let fear rule your lack of success. It’s time to grow and expand your dream. Many others are depending on you and it’s time for you to get out from the shadows and start allowing your dream to become what you have hoped it could be. Trust the advice of those who have been there already. They know how to make things work for you, instead of you working for “it”.

Believe in yourself, even if no one else does. But you must trust in yourself as well. Because no one else is going to follow you or stick with you if you don’t take the chance in yourself first. Stop worrying about what can go wrong, and get excited about what can go right! You might discover that what you really wanted all along is still ahead of you and you simply needed someone who cares for you, pushing you along.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Celebrate your victories. You worked hard for them and you deserve to enjoy the moment. Don’t let someone else’s disappointment overshadow your success. Their negativity has no place in your accomplishments. So choose who you spend your time with very carefully.

Additional Insight:

You don’t need to rub it in someone’s face or be smug about your win. But you have put a lot of effort into achieving success and you should be allowed to celebrate the little victories.

If someone else wants to be a wet noodle, that’s their problem. Don’t let their disappointment bring you down in the process. Their negativity has no place in your world right now. So consider who you celebrate with carefully and allow the energy of your accomplishment to carry you through the weekend.

When you build on your successes, you attract more of the same into your day, weekend, and your whole world. If you allow the negativity of others to drag you down, you waste all that wonderful uplifting success and allow it to fade away without capitalizing on its support.

You can’t save everyone from themselves. You can’t learn their lessons for them. And you can’t lift someone up who refuses to be happy in their little victories, even if it means they came in 2nd. Help them see how great they did and how their hard work paid off as well. They may not have won, but they accomplished a great deal and can still be happy in their achievement. They don’t have to be a sore loser simply because they didn’t get the top spot. It wasn’t theirs to simply walk away with and they can try again next time.

You don’t have to give up your trophy in order to make someone else happy. Ask them to celebrate their accomplishment with yours. But if they refuse, allow them to stomp away. Or you should make the choice to walk away and ride the positive energy to your next success. Sometimes in letting go and letting “God”, you have to actually let go of those who want to hold you back.

So party and celebrate today and through the weekend. But remember, it’s back to work on Monday. There’s still more to do and more to accomplish. One victory is a stepping stone for the next rung on the ladder. But that next step up will be much easier with each victory that lifts you up on the wings of success. Keep climbing and eventually you’ll be flying!

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Share the gifts of spirit with those you care about. You don’t have to tell them the “name” of your beliefs, or what you believe to share the lessons you  have learned. But you might be able to explain what you’ve learned about yourself from looking within from the higher view of your soul.

Additional Insight:

Many people want to share what they’ve learned about life and overcoming their struggles to find peace. But they refrain from doing so because they believe their family, friends or co-workers will automatically label them as evil because their views may not be defined in the Christian Bible.

You don’t have to say “I’m pagan and we believe this or that”. You don’t have to say I follow a “Shamanistic path or a Metaphysical path and we look at life this way”. Don’t limit your lessons by a label someone else may not have ever heard of or understand.

You share your views on a variety of topics without giving it a label first, unless that topic is spiritual in nature. There we humans feel the need to say “I’m Pagan” or whatever the path you walk. And in doing so, we feel our perspectives are not heard, because the one we want to help gets caught up on the label we used. You don’t have to define your beliefs to share your spiritual perspective to help someone else see the lessons they are facing.

If you know someone who is struggling and might benefit from what you have learned, simply tell them about an article you read online once. It said, blah blah. Whither they believe what you say and take it to heart or not, it’s their choice. But I can guarantee you, what you tell them will seep into the back of their mind and stay there rattling around for a while. That’s simply the way our brains work. And who knows, maybe one day, they will allow that memory to stumble forward in their thoughts, and make an honest difference in their life for the better.

You can’t learn the lessons for the ones you love. But you can help them discover the tools that will help them view their lessons from a different perspective and perhaps, finally pass the tests that put those studies behind them. You’ll never know, until you try.

Listen to the waves of change and you’ll be able to ride the frequency that frees you from struggle.  Others are pulling your strings and trying to keep you from moving forward. Their fear of the future is a lesson they must over come. You can try to assist, but in the end, you can’t learn the lessons others have pulled into their life. It maybe hard to let them go, but you might have to do that, in order to change things for the better, for yourself.

Additional Insight:

Represent the essence of Enterprise & Inaction, Inspiration & Pessimism, Distinction & Disregard.

Simply put, listen to your inner voice and you’ll avoid struggle and hardship. You already know what needs to be done, yet you refuse to move forward and do it because of someone else?  Don’t let others hold you back from your own future. You can only help someone so much and you can’t save those who don’t want to be rescued. No matter how much you love them. 

If they refuse to learn their lessons and make changes in their pattern of behavior there’s not much you can do. You can’t force them to change. You can’t learn their lessons for them. And sometimes, your lesson is to learn to let go of what you don’t control and move on.

You’ve been working hard to free yourself from the inaction and pessimism of the past. You’re at the point of making great strides through a break through of understanding. You finally see how your thoughts and actions (or in-action) has created your current struggles. Now that you have acquired this knowledge, what are you going to do with it?

It’s time to start walking your talk to put your experience into action. If that means leaving those behind who refuse to change, grow and move forward, then let them go for your own sake. Give them a chance to come with you. But if they refuse, don’t give up and dig yourself into a rut. Listen to your gut feelings, reach for your next goal and go for it. It’s up to you to free yourself from the burdens of the past. So get to it and stop making excuses!
