Sunday Homily: Peer Intolerance

Empowered

Empowered

Clearing the air…a little bit…

What do you do when one of your peers questions your right to hold the titles, or position you’ve worked long and hard to achieve? Do you get angry and fight back? Do you ignore their intolerant comments? Do you try to correct their misconceptions? Or do you meet their hatred with love?

I received a private message on Facebook from someone questioning my credentials and, how do I put it, my “right” to say I’m a metaphysical minister, because clearly I’m pagan.

Well of course I am, I’ve never made any secret about that. I tried to respond to the message but I’m blocked from the seemingly fake account and can not respond.

Sadly the message seems to have come from a member of a private FB group I’m part of as an alumni. Now I surmised this because the message shared quotes I’ve made in posts that are only available and seen on the group page. What made this even more shocking, this is a group of spiritual ministers! Say what?! Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Seven of Pentacles

Seven of Pentacles

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Shake off the stress and anxiety about getting things done. Relax a little and you’ll be able to work on your projects with ease. You might even discover a little bit of help that makes the work fun and will allow it to go by a little quicker as well. Keep to the business at hand and you’ll profit from a good day’s work.


Notice:
The start of the summer break begins here on Thursday. We’ll be on a little vacation beginning May 26th through June 6th. The Tarot Meditation drawing will return  June 9th.

Additional Insight:

Be at peace and relax. The rest of the world might be going crazy, but that doesn’t mean you have to. There’s plenty to keep your mind on the creative process and surrounded by your own little band of supporters. Give yourself a break and breathe a little easier to clear the cob webs and refresh your efforts. You’ll get things done and on schedule too. So stop worrying.

The abundance you’ve been working for is coming in and from varying sources. You’ll find support in some unusual places, so be open and ready to receive. Believe in yourself and your abilities. Stop the negative self talk and don’t let the criticism from others get to you. They really have no room to talk. If they can’t keep their own lives together, what makes you think they have any worthwhile insight about yours?!

For the rest of the week and through all of next week, you’ll be challenged and prodded by someone who’s really trying hard to get under your skin. Don’t allow their jealousy and lack of knowledge, talent or experience alter your perspectives about your abilities. That’s exactly what they want to have happen. Tune them out and work your way through the tasks at hand. You have the knowledge and insight to get things done. And your way of working is just fine for you. If it doesn’t work for them, well that’s their problem. You’re the one who’s in charge over this project.

Do your own thing and allow your own intuition to guide your hands. You’ll know exactly how to complete the items, in budget and on time. Be confident in your experience to know you’re going the right way and meeting the expectations required. When the work has been delivered, the accolades  will be yours to distribute as you feel necessary. Remember, you didn’t do it alone, but not everyone is going to deserve a piece of the pie. So be open to reaping and sharing the rewards. Then sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor with a little celebration for all those who chipped in to help.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ten of Swords-Inverted & Seven of Cups

10 of Swords - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

It happens very rarely, but on occasion when I pull a card, two will fall out. And so it was this morning. I don’t believe in coincidence, so I try to share the message for both cards.

Ten of Swords – Inverted
You could be tied up in the details, with someone nit-picking at your efforts to focus and work. Try not to get frustrated or angry at them. They maybe coming to you because they’re worried about the situation going on around the office, school or wherever. And have concern for how it impacts them. Be compassionate, but stay at arms length.


Additional Insight:

Because you’re someone who has a reputation of being “in the know”, others could merely be pumping you for information. Don’t share what you know. Keep your confidences and information to yourself. Knowledge is power and the more you show you can be trusted, the more respect and authority you will have. Remember, your reputation is everything today! Continue reading

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

Six of Swords Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Every problem has a path to avoid the thorns, so make your choices carefully. Watch where you tread today and do your best not to get involved in someone else’s schemes. It could cost you a lot more than time and money. It could cost your reputation that you’ve finally started benefiting from. It’s a good time to stay to yourself and get your own tasks done. You’ll get ahead of schedule and stay out of the fray.


Additional Insight:

Notice:
The start of the summer break begins here on Thursday. We’ll be on a little vacation beginning May 26th through June 6th. The Tarot Meditation drawing will return  June 9th.

Don’t become embroiled in a fight that isn’t yours out of angst, frustration and especially revenge. Those emotions will only feed the negative around you and attract more of the same. Be careful that you’re not being manipulated into a false sense of camaraderie. If you do get involved, much of what you’ve been working so hard on could wither and die. And you’ll have a very hard time getting back on your feet. Continue reading

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

9 of Wands Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Get some rest and relax. Be careful you’re not over taxing your physical abilities or health. There’s no need to tie yourself up in knots over the little things that pass through life. Let others do the thinking for a little while. You need time to yourself to sleep, dream and prepare to stake your claim to what’s yours next week. For now, the scales are tilted in your favor. So you can unwind without fear or worry!


Additional Insight:

There’s no need to spend the day trying to over do anything, physically, mentally or emotionally. Not now and not through the weekend. You’ve gotten an awful lot done this week and it’s ok to slow down and unwind a little. Get your normal work done, but let yourself have a little break too. Take a long lunch or maybe leave a little early from work today. No one that matters is going to care because they know how hard you’ve been working. But do work it out with the boss first. Continue reading

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

Knight of Wands: Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Keep your eye on things today, you could be missing something important. Don’t put off a task you know you’ve needed to take care of, but have been avoiding. You are surrounded by Divine protection and creative energy. Take advantage of that shield and make things happen. You’ll be surprised by the results.


Additional Insight:

There’s a lot of gold in today’s card and there’s a message behind that appearance. Darker Vibrant Yellow Shades such as Gold: denote Divine protection or Spiritual shields of energy.

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

Be vigilant today and take care of long-standing tasks that you’ve been neglecting. You’re allowing your imagination to get the better of you and create a sense of dread. That desire to ignore the issues won’t make them go away, but could make them much worse than they need to be. Even if it’s something as simple as stopping by the mailbox and picking up the letters from this week. You have messages that need to be seen and dealt with and they’re not the big bad news you think they might be. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Four of Pentacles

4 of Pentacles

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You have more than enough in your baskets to get you through the season. But be watchful, as someone is scheming to take what you have. Watch your back and make sure you have copies of your work and maintain your correspondence. You may need them to prove your innocence. But don’t let that negative energy cloud your day. It’s a good time to be thankful and to feel blessed.


Additional Insight:

While you’re busy being focused on personal issues, someone is using your distraction as an opportunity to grab what you’ve acquired. Be careful throughout the day and make sure you have a good inventory to fall back on. You may need to prove what you have is yours.

It’s important however, that you don’t dwell on the negative actions of others. Don’t let it overwhelm you or make you paranoid. That’s exactly what they need you to do. As long as you’re contemplating and over thinking things, you’ll be inattentive and unfocused which could cause a mistake in your work. Simply keep track of where you are, what you’re doing and who you’re doing it for. Continue reading

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

Three of Cups

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Even when you turn things upside down, you make the choice for how you feel in Mind, Body and Spirit. It doesn’t have to be a challenging day. In every adversity there’s a lesson to be learned. Instead of getting angry or depressed, look for what the situation is trying to teach you. Accept the opportunity to change the pattern. Learn from it and you’ll never have to repeat it again. Even the hard lessons are blessings that can bring happiness.


Additional Insight:

Breaking patterns is not an easy thing to do. But as we age, we repeat events that were brought earlier in life intended to progress our soul toward enlightenment. They may have been karmic or spiritual experiences we needed to go through in order to view things differently. Whatever instigated them, they won’t be resolved until we accept their presence and choose a better way through the events surrounding the turmoil.
