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

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t look to others for your happiness, you won’t find it there. Even when the world is trying to turn things upside down, you are responsible for your own feelings. Look within yourself for the spark of laughter, creativity to manifest your dreams and inspiration to build your own abundance. It’s up to you to care for you, not someone else.

Additional Insight:
Partnerships are a two way street of respect. But you’re not an island dependent upon those around you for your happiness. You decide what your emotions are and how you will react to the events around you. No matter what the situation, no one can control that aspect of you.

Take accountability for how you feel and stop blaming others for the situations you’re in. If you don’t like it, change it. If you feel stunted, then use your own imagination to create. You must be the one who does the work to make it happen, no one else can do it for you.

Instead of letting the little things make you angry, learn to ignore them or accept them for what they are (they’re not important). You aren’t perfect, so why do you keep holding others up to standards that even you can’t meet?

Take time today to calm down, go within and push the reset button. You’re the only one who can truly make a big difference in your life. Stop letting the stress and anxiety turn you into someone you don’t want to be or don’t like to be around. It’s the angst that’s creating the environment you’re in. So find a way to relax so you can deal with what needs to be done, take care of what needs to be addressed and make a real difference in your life to turn things around.

Clear your mind and your body of the anxiety that has you blaming everyone and everything else for your own dilemma. Make sure what you want is really what you need, and if it is, make the changes necessary to guide your future where it needs to be. Everyone has the ability to make sacrifices and change. Get off your butt and do it, and take responsibility for your own life!

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

Jun24

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Your gut feelings and inspirations are turned upside down today. Stop worrying about what your fears are telling you and remember the insights you acquired at the end of last week. Success is happening, even if you can’t see or feel it right now. The Divine is working to manifest your dreams, so you need to keep working on them too!

Additional Insight:

Wands represent the essence of Enterprise, Inspiration, Distinction, but you’re not feeling any of those things today out of fear. Don’t let the changes around you scare you off from continuing your mission to succeed. The change is necessary to get you there.

Whether its looking for a job, trying to attain a promotion, planning a wedding or vacation, or starting some new venture, don’t give up now. You’ve been working hard on this project for a long time. You’ve put a great deal of effort into it’s design and vision. You’ve worked with the Divine force in your life to add energy to it and things are changing to make it happen.

Change is never easy, but it’s sometimes necessary to push in the direction we need to be going in the first place. Listen to those around you who have tried to give you good and positive counsel. Ignore the nay-sayers, even if that’s your own inner voice telling you it’s impossible. Focus on what needs to be done to get over the next hurdle. If that means doing something temporarily to get you to the final result, then simply remind yourself it’s only for a little while.

What ever you do, don’t let the fear overwhelm you and take away all the work you’ve done so far. You can still do this! The changes before you may simply be the Divine’s way of giving you what you need in this time and space in order to fund your adventure down the road. Take it and you’ll turn the tide.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The World – Inverted

Jun21

The Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Take some time to care for your garden and add a little energy to nurture and feed it. Your dreams and plans will only realize manifestation if you work on them. They’re not going to appear out of thin air from thought and visualization alone. You will have to get your hands dirty too.

Additional Insight:

Simply dreaming about what you want or will do once your dream manifests will not bring your plans into reality. You must also put in the practical work to make them happen. So stop making excuses or talking yourself out of doing the worked needed.

Whether its writing things down, researching what’s needed and making notes, you need to get busy. Make the effort toward putting fingers to keyboards to complete documents, advertisements or start blogging about your venture, you need to get to work.

No one is going to hand you a prize, wrapped in a bow with a secret key inside that simply makes it all happen. If you want it, you’re going to have to do some work for it. While that includes the spiritual enhancement of guiding energy toward your goal, that energy can’t do it alone. Continue reading →

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Hermit – Inverted

Jun20

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Reach within and find your own light. Don’t try to be like someone else, it will only take you away from the path you’re meant to travel. You have your own light that’s meant to guide your way out of the darkness. Stop hiding it and pushing it down beneath the service. Reach within yourself and allow your light to shine with pride and glory.

Additional Insight:

It’s hard enough being yourself without trying to change everything on your plate to be like someone else’s table. They don’t have your past, both in this incarnation and the last…hundreds of lifetimes. They don’t carry your karmic rewards and they don’t hold your spiritual lessons.

Your table is equally as lovely. Even though it’s decorated with different items and flavors, it represents you and what you are drawn to. It’s not fake, or filled with show, because it has substance and meaning. Don’t discard it. You own it and it’s not on loan from someone else who can take it away from you on a whims notice.

You don’t always know what others have gone through to acquire their table settings. It may look great now, but the path to their party may be fraught with emotional scars and turmoil you never had to go through. Don’t aspire to be like someone else. You may regret what you asked for and the consequences of the trauma you might go through to get there. Continue reading →

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: King of Swords

Jun19

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Strength and fortitude will win the day. That doesn’t mean you must use brawn to exert your muscles. It takes a good deal of intelligence and wisdom to be the leader that solves conflict without a physical fight. But if you control your temper and work through the discord, you will be the victor in more ways than seem apparent today.

Additional Insight:

In today’s world survival of the fittest isn’t measured in brawn and who has the biggest weapons. That attitude no longer suits the energy within and around Mother Earth.

Survival of the most spiritual is the measuring stick that will hold up in conflict. Who lives by the convictions of their beliefs in a positive way, no matter what those beliefs are (even if there are no spiritual beliefs at all). You cannot spout scripture and “Love they neighbor”, then walk out the door and denounce the person in the news or down the street who chooses to live different beliefs than you.

You cannot condemn all people who hold beliefs simply because you see them as ignorant or irrelevant, yet hold yourself up as the higher intelligence. No one truly knows what is unseen or unknown in the Divine Universe.

Everyone is walking their own path in this incarnation and they are where they need to be at this time. Your journey may not be parallel to theirs, but it’s not better, or worse, than theirs is. It’s merely where you need to be at this point and time in your physical life. But with free will and choice you decide if your path goes down hill and faces struggles that put your lessons to the test. Or if you pass the quiz and move toward the fork in the road that leads you upward toward wisdom and enlightenment.

Accepting others for who and what they are is the road toward enlightenment. You don’t have to agree with them, you don’t have live as they do. And you don’t have to abandon your convictions, “if” they walk the positive road. You can disagree with an idea or a concept. But if you denounce others for who and what they are, all you are doing is living in hypocrisy. Don’t sit in judgement of others. In the end, the one you may be judging is yourself.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Four of Swords – Inverted

Jun18

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Relax, you’re not alone. Someone is always watching over you from spirit and trying to support you through your day. In times of stress and anxiety, all you need to do is clam down, close your eyes and talk to them. The hard part is trusting your instincts and being willing to listen to what they say with an open mind. Sometimes, the answer is “no” for a reason.

Additional Insight:

In times of turmoil and struggle it’s easy for people to feel alone. Even when they’re in a house filled with people. But you’re never truly alone when you have a connect to the Divine Consciousness in your life. There’s always someone watching over you.

Whether you believe in Angels, Spirit Guides or simply close relatives who have passed on, you always have someone you can relate to and talk to. Even if all you believe in is a Divine Spirit, that force is great enough to listen to you and provide insight into your troubles.

The hard part is being willing to make the connection to Spirit and being open enough to listen to the guidance and answers that come your way. Sometimes what you want isn’t what you need and it’s important to be open to the possibility of hearing “no” as a reply.

Even in times of sorrow there are reasons you hit blocks and challenges. Maybe it’s not the right road for you to take at this time. Maybe you’re not ready for what will cross that road up ahead. Or maybe there’s a much better path for you to follow that better supports your spiritual mission in this incarnation. Hear “no” might be hard, but it will be a lot easier to listen now than it will be 6 months down the road when you have invested much more of yourself, time and potentially money on the wrong choices.

As with everything in life; be careful what you ask for…you might get it and find out too late it’s not really what you needed.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Devil

Jun17

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You’re being followed by someone who wants you all to themselves. Be cautious what invitations to accept. The diversion might be flattering, but the results can get you into some hot water and derail your plans. You’ve worked very hard recovering from past events that tried to bring you down. Don’t throw all that away for a simple smile or batting of the eyes. Their selfish desires might be your undoing.

Additional Insight:

When this little fairy appears, he’s usually warning you about paying attention to the details – “The Devil is in the details, so be cautious”. Today he’s warning about a shadow that’s following you around.

Either a person or an opportunity to fall back on old ways, the shadow behind you is one you left behind in the past. And it should stay there! Don’t let the negativity pull you back from all that you have achieved so far. You’ve come a long way from that struggling person you were and you’ve walked into a more positive present.

The “calling” may be strong and enticing. The stress and anxiety from today may seem overwhelming and you might wonder “well why not this one time”? But this one time will unravel ALL the work you have done to this point. Don’t give in to temptation today and you’ll be able to say “No” more easily for the rest of the week and month.

Don’t allow others to sweet talk you into something you’ll regret later. You have set your plans in place, put forth the effort to make them reality, worked hard to overcome the obstacles and have grown stronger through the self discipline. You don’t need someone else to validate who you have become. You don’t need their approval to be a better person who’s in control of their future. You have changed..and in a good way. Leave the old devils behind and keep moving forward to the place you are meant to be. You can do this! You are strong enough to walk forward. You are the one who approves and validates who you are. Believe in yourself. You will be the victor in the end!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Star

Jun14

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Relax and share your search with those of like mind. It’s a good time to share what you’ve learned and learn from others along the way. Being open to other perspectives helps you nurture those who are struggling, but it also helps you wade through the flow of knowledge and discover new food for thought. Don’t let fear be your guide. Instead, let the Star light help you see what else is out there in the Divine Universe.

Additional Insight:

Taking a look at other perspectives doesn’t mean you have to accept them and apply them to your world.You can learn about others and their views to gain understanding, insight and tolerance for how others walk through their world.

When we share our knowledge and experiences we speak out loud what it is we think we believe and know. Doing so allows us to test our theories and perspectives against other ideas. Do they stand up to the scrutiny? Should they be refined or altered? Or perhaps they simply need to be expanded.

You can’t test your views and grow if you’re unwilling to be open to constructive criticism and debate. Through discussion you may find that this aspect of your beliefs don’t stand up well with that aspect of your beliefs. If you find contradictions in your own views, it’s a good sign that you have more reading and research to do. Don’t become angry when someone else doesn’t agree with you because of that same recognition of conflict. “I didn’t think of it until now” is a perfectly acceptable response.

By sharing your ideas and perspectives you may discover information that you didn’t know existed. You can gain insight and interest that may not change your mind, but may change the way you look at what you think you know. And that new perspective may allow you to expand your own views and be open to new thoughts.

The important thing to remember about being a shining star is you can never know it all. You don’t see everything, even from the highest perspective. Because there’s always a “dark side of the moon” that you can’t see unless you’re willing to travel around to the other side and take a look. You don’t have to stay there, but the new perspective gives you more to look at and more to take in.

So don’t be afraid to shine your light. But don’t be afraid to shine your light on new things and explore what they have to offer. You might even find you agree with the new ideas and want to alter what it is you thought you believed.

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

Jun13

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Be careful what..and who.. you step on to get to the top. The wake you leave behind will affect those behind you. But it can also stir up consequences that can cause you great problems as you move forward on your path. Sacrificing everything to get what you want is a very high price to pay. And in the end, it’s never worth it. So be careful what you’re willing to give up in order to get what you think you want.

Additional Insight:

Are you willing to sacrifice your integrity, your reputation and the trust others close to you have place in your hands? These things take years to develop and once they have become cracked, they cannot be fully repaired.

Wands represent the essence of Enterprise, Inspiration, and Distinction. Don’t let the self-centered infectious greed of others be your inspiration to succeed. Don’t let their reputation as a blood sucker become the distinction that other remember you by.

Others are trying to change who you are for the promise of the glass pedestal. That stage is very fragile and the slightest wrong move could break it beneath your feet. Not to mention the person(s) asking you to make these sacrifices aren’t the kind of people you want to be trusting in the first place. They could be setting you up to be the pawn in a larger game designed to make you the sacrifice for their own treachery.

It’s ok to say “No thank you. That’s not who I am” and walk away as the victor. Being able to say “No” shows you’re confident and capable of standing on your own. It will actually gain you greater respect from those who are in a better position to help you later on.

Give yourself time to walk through the lessons you have set before you from spirit. Learn those lessons with an enlightened mind, body and spirit. When the time is right for the reputable offer to be made; you’ll be in the right place at the right time to accept the prize and keep it.

Those around you who have watched you change into a more enlightened being, will be excited for you. And their loyalty to you will be the greatest reward of all.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Magician – Inverted

Jun12

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Are you feeling overwhelmed because so many things are up in the air and out of your control? Then stop trying to control everything and allow yourself to focus on what’s important to you and within your control. Make a list and divide the tasks by what you have control over and what you don’t. Then prioritize what you can handle and what you must wait on. Start on the list you have control over and what’s the most important priority.

Additional Insight:

The more you try to control around you, the more you’ll lose. Stop trying to be all things to all people. Stop trying to control every aspect of your world, you can’t and you’ll only drain your resources for what’s really important.

Sometimes you simply have to learn to say “no”. You’re not everyone’s Mom. You’re not everyone’s SuperMan. But you’ve become so used to doing things for everyone else, you’ve lost sight of what’s your responsibility and what’s within your purview.

Today simply say “Stop. I have to get organized and figure out what I have to do before I can “do” for anyone else”. Whether it’s taking care of your kids, or family first or dealing with some paperwork you’ve been ignoring. Write out your lists and then set priorities for them. Which are important vs. which are imperative. Which have immediate deadlines and which can be postponed to help you take care of other things that are more important.

In today’s world of instant gratification, we’ve lost sight and control over time management. Don’t be one of the statistics that fall into the new instantaneous demands and practice patience. If that means others have to learn patience, then so be it. It will probably do them good too.
