Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ten of Wands

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You maybe feeling restricted today and not able to do anything. Try not to worry too much. The Universe is trying to hold you steady while the wands of magik are working hard to manifest the plans you’ve put into place. Don’t dwell on “too little too late”. Rather find contentment in “Every thing happens in its right time and space”.

Additional Insight:

It’s hard waiting, but that’s what needs to be done today and over the weekend. Things are happening that you have no control over and can’t even see. Information is getting around, news is getting out and the facts are coming to light. Hold steady and let the truth work it’s magik.

Since you can’t control what’s happening, you must find a way to put your trust in the hands of the Divine force that’s in your life. “Let go and let God”. Everything will work out as it should.

Take some time to ignore the rest of the world. Spend the weekend at home and catch up your chores. Clean out the old and make way for the new. Organize and take stock of your magik closet. Dust and clean your space to move out the negative energy and clutter and open up space for the new positive manifestation that’s coming your way.

It really is going to be ok.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ace of Pentacles

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

A Divine star is shining over your basket today. Abundance is all around you, all you need do is open your eyes and see it. You don’t have to search for it, you don’t have to wait for its arrival. It’s already there. The question is, which kind of abundance do you place more value upon? The material kind, or the abundance of spirit, family and friends?

Additional Insight:

Because your Divine Self has the energy to create, you have the ability to create your day in a manner in which you desire. That in turn will create your week, your month, your year and your life. You can create happiness, success, and prosperity in Mind/Body/Spirit.

A quick note about prosperity. We’re not just talking about financial prosperity, although that is part of it. But more so, we’re talking about the prosperity of spiritual enlightenment, mental happiness, love, compassion and so on. In other words, the prosperity of all aspects of your life in both a spiritual and physical sense.
~ Meditation, Energy & Action by Springwolf

If you spend your day focusing on the lack of financial abundance and turn away from the abundance of spirit, love, compassion and health; you’ll miss out on the real blessings you have around you. Believe me, I know the hardships of an empty bank account. The worry of not being able to pay the mortgage or the electric bill when it’s cold and damp outside. I understand the lack of security associated with not being able to provide for your child, whither it be trying to get them to school, or give them a meal at night so they don’t go to bed hungry.

But even in those tough times when you think you’re at the end of your rope, remember that someone always has it worse than you do. Someone is being beaten on a daily basis. Someone is facing the dangers of living in a hostile area, worrying if their children will make it home from school. Someone in a far off land not only worries about finding food and water, but if today is the day a bomb hits what is left of their home and kills their entire family.

When we can focus on the abundance we do have, we attract more of that positive energy flow into our lives. The energy provided by our blessings can create abundance in the other areas of your life where you have lack or are struggling. Friends can help you through troubled times, hold your hand, give you an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on or even bring you a free spaghetti dinner for you and your family.

When you can give back to those friends and offer the same kindness and compassion, you expand the abundance in your life and in your day. You create opportunities for the Divine Universe to return your compassion to you in other ways, such as…financial abundance.

Sometimes giving to others, what it is you need most, is the best way to have your prayers answered and returned to you.

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

Mar20

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Take time to acknowledge the change in seasons. On this day of the vernal equinox, remember how much you’ve come through and how strong you’ve become. You’ve fought hard, you’ve won battles and you’re retaking control over your life and moving in the direction you desire. That deserves some recognition and celebration.

Additional Insight:

While you may have some healing to go through, you’ve already won the battles. Now is the time of remembrance and soothing your wounds. Rest and get back to your basics. Light a candle, hold a ritual or ceremony and honor the return of the light and warmth within your spirit.

Give yourself permission to heal and love the person you’ve become. You’ve worked hard to reinvent yourself. So acknowledge the new you and stand in balance on this special day of Ostara.

The earth stands perpendicular to the sun on this day. And the waxing moon reminds us this is a night for attraction, inner love, protection and healing energy for couples. What you want to attract to yourself and your path can be enhanced on this day.

Align yourself with the energy of the natural world around you. Celebrate your place in the Divine Universe by spending the day living in balance and harmony with all things seen and unseen and all around you.

The History Of Ostara – The ‘Spring Equinox’

Mar19

The Vernal Equinox – The Festival of Ēostre
By Springwolf, D.D., Ph.D. 🐾

The Spring Equinox festival is based in Germanic Paganism. Ēostre or Ostara (Northumbrian Old English: Ēostre; West Saxon Old English: Ēastre; Old High German: *Ôstara) is a goddess in Germanic paganism who, by way of the Germanic month bears her name.

As a pagan holiday Ostara is one of the more confusing and convoluted festivals in terms of its history. It’s claimed by German neo-Pagans, Norse, Saxon and Celt. Celts admit that holiday is not one of their original observances and therefore it’s accepted to be part of a reconstruction of old Celtic ways.

There is speculation that this holiday owes its roots to the Romans who took their holiday into the invasion of Ireland and even spread into Germanic cultures. However, this does not play out when one reviews Celtic or Germanic mythology and history. Continue reading →

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Six of Pentacles

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

When you share your gifts with others, they will share their abundance with you. You’ve said many times, what you put out – you receive back. But have you been sending out the best of intentions, positive energy, compassion and kindness? If you want these things in your life, you must give them freely to those around you.

Additional Insight:

The Divine Universe isn’t a chaotic place. It was created with natural laws to help keep balance in all things. These Universal Laws are in play with everything you do and think. And you know some of the important ones already. Your ultimate lesson here in this physical world is to live your life, make your choices and exist in balance with all things seen and unseen in your life and around your world.

Don’t merely give your beliefs lip service and expect others to live up to your standards when you’re not doing that yourself. You too need to apply them to your own life and actions. You can’t go around being angry and grumpy all the time and expect others to always bring happiness to you when they come around. Or be there for you when you need them.

Out of sight out of mind might keep negativity away from your world. But when you want those people to be part of your day, don’t be surprised if they don’t want to hear from you. Sometimes giving of yourself means allowing someone you care for to cry on your shoulder and vent their frustrations with condemnation or guilt for their plight. Don’t let someone complain and then dismiss their emotions as if they don’t have a right to feel them. Or invalidate their struggles simply because you can’t understand what they’re going through.

You get back, what you put out. You’ve said that about the actions of others who have wronged you. But how many times have you applied it to yourself? Sometimes the greatest gift you can give is free to you…your time, a listening ear, a strong shoulder. If you know someone who is struggling, helping them doesn’t necessarily mean giving them money or material things. Sometimes people who are facing hardship simply want to vent and get the frustrations out of their system for a little while.

When you share your gifts with others freely, be they talents, knowledge, your time, items of abundance or some other offering from self, you express your love and compassion to the world around you. Doing that allows the Divine Universe to bring that positive energy back to you and reward your efforts of kindness.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Justice

Mar18

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Blind faith can deceive and hamper your journey. Make sure you investigate the facts before you make decisions based on one persons word. You may find they are being dishonest and trying to take advantage of your kindness. Rose colored glasses can help you look for the good in all people, but they shouldn’t stop you from seeing the tarnish that can eat away at your heart.

Additional Insight:

Justice requires honesty, so be honest with yourself. You know what’s really going on, even if you don’t want to admit it. You’ve seen the clues, you’ve noticed the inconsistent stories, your gut feelings have been digging into your side. Why aren’t you paying attention?

Trust is something that’s earned, not given without Justification. A title might cause you to pay attention to the words and actions of the title holder. But they are still human, like you and are accountable for their words and actions, like you.

Don’t let the desire to have something in your life cloud your judgement from the truth. Sometimes you can fool yourself into justifying your actions, even when you know it’s not good for you. Pay attention to the writing on the wall. You may not get another chance to change things before it’s too late and you’re too invested in this situation.

Whither this is a lie you’re telling yourself because you don’t want to do something, or if it’s someone trying to deceive you; you know what’s going on and ignoring it will not make it go away or get any better. The longer you wait the harder it will be to walk away.

Thinking positive or trying to believe in something or someone beyond your suspicions will only take you so far. At some point you must take control of your own destiny and make choices that are beneficial to you. You can’t learn lessons for others. And sometimes that means letting them go and moving on to something that’s better for you.

If you grow beyond your current situation, or the people you’re with, it’s ok to make changes and move on. The Divine Universe has a way of pushing us to where we need to be, even if we think it’s now where we want to be. Eventually we find out, it was a better place for us in the first place.

Don’t settle for the half-baked pie. Take a walk and find a new bakery that prides itself on offering the best. You deserve more, you’ve earned it and you’ve worked hard for it.

Why Pagan’s Don’t Celebrate St. Paddy’s Day

Mar17

The Tribal Wolf

The Genocide of St. Patrick

To begin this story let me start with a little Public Service Announcement (PSA). This year, 2014, I learned that the Irish do not care much for we Americans and Canadians calling their national holiday St. Patty’s Day. But probably isn’t what you think. Which is what I thought; it’s Patrick, not Patty. Nope that’s not it. Well not entirely.

I discovered a PSA had been posted in the Dublin Airport correcting a misconception for those of us in the Americas. It’s not Patty, it’s Paddy. Seems Patty is short for Patricia and of course, Patrick was a male priest. The proper shortening of the male variation is Paddy. And St. Paddy’s Day is perfectly acceptable. So now we know.

Now on to our tale of Pagans and Paddy. First, we must start with some of the early inhabitants of Ireland. What little is known of these people come from Irish songs and poetry, oral legends and Roman writings. The Celtic lands of Ireland, Scotland and Wales were populated primarily by individual or regional Clans. Small communities that were close knit and survived on nature through farming and hunting.

Tuesday Tea Time at Two

Afternoon Tea Parties
a lovely book by Susannah Blake

Making Plans

Today I came across a beautiful quote:
“A goal without a plan is just a wish”. Antoine de Saint-Exupery French writer.

How many Tarot drawings have we pulled in the past few years that emphasize making a plan for your dreams? As much as resisted joining Pinterest it has become a big part of my week. I don’t know how others like using it, but one thing I’ve discovered it allows me to do is plan!

When I was a kid my grandmother told me about a book she kept with clippings from magazines. Things she’d like to have, places she’d like to go and so on. She didn’t have that book anymore and didn’t remember where she lost it. But it seemed sad that she no longer had it to look at.

She inspired me to create my own book of dreams and I’ve made several of them over the years. Today they’re packed somewhere in some box some place here in the house or attic. When I started using Pinterest, I realized it’s a digital dream book. A place to gather ideas and make plans.

Sometime in the future when I can get the center into a physical space again, I plan on having various types of gatherings. Some formal, some educational and some simply for fun.

One of those fun ideas is Tuesday Tea Time at Two. A simple gathering for conversation and elegance. High Tea where we can dress up and feel pretty. Low Tea for those days when we want to relax. So here in this board on Pinterest are my inspirations… Tea, Coffee & Cakes
