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

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

There’s more to abundance than your bank account. Prosperity comes in many forms; from spiritual enlightenment, mental happiness, love of life, compassion for all living things, caring for family and friends. And all of those things are important to be shown to the self as well. How you treat you is one of the most important aspects of expressing energy and manifesting what you need in your life. If you’re not good to you, how will the Universe be good to you?

Additional Insight:

Abundance and Prosperity are not solely about what you have in the material world or what you can spend. It applies to all aspects of your life. Now is not the time for instant material gratification. That joy from shopping and spending will not open the doors to new prosperity. Not to mention the emotions are fleeting, especially when you realize you shouldn’t have made the purchase(s) in the first place.

When you create lack in one area of your life; you allow that energy to spill over into all other areas as well. When you create lack in your belief in self, in your ability to express kindness and love to your inner being then you create that same lack in other areas of your life. Don’t be so critical of yourself! Don’t blame yourself for the little mistakes. Forgive and comfort, let go and move on.

Begin the positive change in your life and create abundance in mental thought, health, family, friends, love and compassion by being thankful for all the little blessings you already have. Don’t lose sight of your spiritual beliefs; put them into practice toward your own inner being. Create abundance in self love and compassion; and you can manifest abundance in all areas of your life.

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

May29

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Rest in the arms of your inner self and be at peace with your own self love. It’s not the approval of others, the pat on the head or the compassion from outside your self that you need today. It’s caring, compassion and less self judgement and criticisms that you should focus on. Today is your day to be your own best friend and remember how great of a friend you really are.

Additional Insight:

Don’t help others criticize you. You need someone to stand up for you and show compassion, understanding and support. There’s no one better to that than your own inner spiritual self. So show yourself some love, kindness and caring.

But don’t let your self love turn to arrogance and superior ego. Be cautious of how you express your confidence and strength in yourself. It’s a fine line sometimes; but no matter how you try to be humble, others will see arrogance while others see confidence. And often it’s not about ‘you’ but rather their own view and perspective of themselves.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Priest & Two of Cups

May25

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Sometimes 2 cards find their way into the daily drawing instead of one. Today was one of those days.

The Priest –
You control your future, guide it with reason, insight and purpose. You have many tools in your arsenal that can be utilized for gaining insight, don’t ignore the ones that are within your higher consciousness. When you view your path from spiritual vision, you will see the way clearly and avoid the pot holes that try to get in the way over the weekend.

Additional Insight for the Priest:

Take accountability for your own actions and your life. You can’t keep looking to others to guide your choices because you think they’re hard. Release the fear and sit upon your own throne where you can go within, connect with your higher consciousness and divine your answers from spirit. Allow the healing to take place, and you’ll be able to walk the path that brings the greatest joy and contentment.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Two of Cups –
Be ready for a gift from spirit this weekend. It’s unexpected, but you’ll be thrilled with the surprise. Accept with love and appreciation.

Additional Insight:

It maybe a tangible present given from an unexpected source, or something non-tangible coming to you from spirit. But be open to it when it comes. It will make a difference in your life and brings both warmth and love into your weekend.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Fool –

May24

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Roll the dice and play the part of the fool. Now is not the time to take chances and act or react on a whim. Not everyone has your best interest at heart. Make sure you know what you’re getting into. Don’t allow others to pressure you and do your own research! You are the one who is accountable for your choices, not someone else. So take charge and don’t be afraid to say “No and that’s it!”

Additional Insight:

You are ultimately accountable for your actions. Don’t let your desperation cloud your judgement and allow you to be pressured into something that isn’t intended to be good for you! Be cautious of the ulterior motives of others who claim to be experts, or have a sure fired bet! They’re not interested in helping you, they’re interested in controlling you for their own selfish gains.

It’s ok to say “No”, and if they get upset; that should be your clue that something isn’t right with this. If they up their forceful pressure; don’t be afraid to say “No and that’s enough”! Then use your own control and walk away from their manipulation. You can do this! And for today, it may be vitally important that you do!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knave of Wands

May23

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Magik is at work today. Focus on what you need, not what you want. Put forth energy into your creative visualizations to achieve the goal for the day. Pick up the pieces or follow the breadcrumbs? You’re better off following the breadcrumbs and letting the broken items of the past lay where they may. By this evening the main problem will be resolved and you can relax for a while.

Additional Insight:

What you want isn’t always what you need right here in the now. Don’t waste your energy focusing on the long term goal today. You can make a bigger impact by focusing on what you need immediately to bring some peace and serenity to your week. Focus, contemplate, allow your creative mind to discover and present you with a tangible solution. Align your mind, body and spirit with the higher consciousness of your own Divine mind and you’ll easily find the path that leads to success today.

Communicating With Spirit Through Divination & Psychic Tools

The following section is a contribution from one of the regular members to my original message board, Panther Witch. She has graciously allowed me to post part of her research on the History of Divination from the board. I have made a few additions & edits.

Divination:
(From Merriam Webster’s Online Dictionary)
From the Middle English “Divinacioun”,
From Latin “Divination-, divinatio, from divinare”.
Approximate first usage: 14th century

1. The art or practice that seeks to foresee or foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge usually by the interpretation of omens or by the aid of supernatural powers.
2. Unusual insight; intuitive perception.
3. The practice of sensing energy patterns around a person, animal, place or thing and interpreting messages from that energy.

The word divination comes from the Latin word “divinare” or to be inspired by the Divine. Traditionally, it never has mattered which God or Deity has inspired the events foreseen, but almost all religions have had their versions of diviners. It is actually more common than most people realize. Continue reading →

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Show your love and compassion today. Be at peace and help others find their way to the serenity of nature. You never know how far a little kindness can go until you see it in action. You’ll also notice that what goes around, does indeed come around and you’ll receive that which you have given.

Additional Insight:

With Venus still in retrograde, many are struggling with communication and relationships. On top of everything else they’re going through, this is one more straw that didn’t need to be added to the camel’s back. If this is you, then take a deep breath and relax. It’s not as bad as you think it is. If you’re fortunate to have escaped the effects of the retrograde thus far, then share your kindness. You maybe on the receiving end before all this is over.

Give someone a pat on the back for a good effort or job well done. Give someone a hug when you see they’re struggling. Spend some time snuggling with your partner or kids this evening. The energy of touch is a great healer and it’s an easy and effortless way to show someone you care.

May21

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Hold on tight, and you’ll swing through the day with ease and a little fun. Take time to find the joy in your efforts today. Even the little things can make you feel blessed. At the day’s end, you’ll be able to look over all the tiny gifts and see just how many good things have come your way during the day.

Additional Insight:

Don’t play coy, you might become distracted and lose your grip. You may have felt as though you’ve been hanging on by a thread. But don’t stare at your hand and wonder when it’s going to break. You may create a self-fulfilling prophecy. Instead take noticed that you’re still hanging in there! You have the strength and determination to survive. You not only can do this, you are doing it..and you have been for a while!

There’s no reason you can’t swing a little on the vine and take notice of the beautiful things around you and the little blessings that come your way. Find the joy and attract more of the same happiness to you for the remainder of the week.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Strength – Inverted

May18

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

The battles this week have zapped all your energy and worn you down. Take time to replenish your mind, body and spirit. Sleep in this weekend, find an adventure to go on and get away from the stress and anxiety. There are plenty of free things to do around your town. A walk in the park, a picnic, a trip to the local museum, or a community gathering. Find something that gets your mind off things; even if it’s only for a few hours.

Additional Insight:

You’ve gone through a great number of battles in the past couple of weeks. Big and small, part of your world or from others dragging you into their world have all taken their toll. At some point your spirit needs a break and a chance to rest and recuperate.

For today and this weekend, take time to relax for your mind, body and spirit. Get physical rest for your body. Go out and enjoy the late spring weather at a local park for your mind. Take a little time to sit and meditate on your inner self and your connection to the Divine force in your life for you soul. These three little exercises will help you release your own anxiety and stress more than you might realize.

The big message for today and this weekend….Shut out the negative world and focus on YOU.

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

May17

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Peace is found through healing the wounds within. The more you keep inside the bigger the challenges may seem. It’s ok to pull back the curtain and look at the issues on a personal level. Allow yourself to search through element of your life and determine what issue is affecting your circumstances today. When you face those, you can heal, overcome and let go of the past that is holding onto you.

Additional Insight:

Don’t spend the day feeling sorry for yourself and playing soulful music. Apply your spiritual beliefs to the dilemmas you face and look within to determine what lessons are affecting your day. Don’t wallow in the energy that is holding you down and making matters worse than they are. Things are stressful, but you will overcome and find peace through healing and letting go.
