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

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You already hold the key to Emotions, Happiness and Abundance. They’re beneath the surface and within you. Stop searching for what you desire on the battlefield. All you will find there is more waste and turmoil. There’s no need to fight with those around you. Let it go.

Additional Insight:

Sometimes the only thing that keeps us from achieving what we desire is ourselves. With a constant feeling of struggle and angst we express the exact opposite of what we “say” we want to find. Thereby creating events filled with self-fulfilling prophecies.

Stop trying to fight your way though the brush and simply walk around it. You’re making things harder on yourself for no reason at all. Other than it’s what you’ve become used to. It really isn’t true that “the devil you know, is better than the devil you don’t know”. Most of the time the one you don’t know isn’t even there.

You need to stop beating yourself up, looking for the next obstacle to tackle and instead, look for the ways around the conflict all together. Don’t fight battles for other people. Don’t get sucked into battles that aren’t yours to fight in the first place. Don’t get baited into battles that have nothing to do with you at all. Walk away.

You don’t need to raise the white flag. You don’t need to proclaim peace. All you need to do is look within and you’ll find the path that leads around the anger and conflict. It’s the best thing you can do for yourself today, and the rest of the week.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t rest on the thoughts of others, they haven’t walked in your shoes and have no idea what challenges you’ve faced. You can’t make decisions or base your actions on the box someone else tries to fit you into. It’s your responsibility to define who and what you are. Stand up and take control of your own thoughts.

Additional Insight:

It’s easier to take in the comments from others, whether they’re negative or not, and be what others see you as. But that does a great disservice to your own path and more importantly your own spiritual mission.

If someone says “You’re a healer”, that’s nice of them. But if it’s not something you’ve thought of before, then it probably isn’t true. It’s no different from if someone says “You’re nothing but a slob”. In either case, you’re allowing someone else to define who you are.

Don’t go out and spend tons of money on new cloths or a new hair style to combat a negative remark from someone who probably doesn’t like they way they look themselves. You are doing the same thing as someone who spends tons of money on the next course in healing, or on crystals, or that new talisman you decided you had to have because someone said you’re “magikal” or you can control the weather.

Listen to your own inner voice, meditate and go within to discover who you are, what you are and who you’re meant to be. You’re much better off listening to yourself than trying to fit into someone else’s box. After all, their box probably limits your talents, abilities and possibilities. Be unique. Be yourself! There’s no one else in this world who’s like you. And that’s a pretty special thing.

Merry Beltaine – May 1st/6th

May2

“Arctic Wolf Fire”
By Tom-in-Silence

The Festival of Bel’s Fire

May You Have A Wonderful Holiday Celebration!

By the Solar Calendar, the holiday is celebrated on May 1st. But by the Lunar Calendar it’s honored on May 6th.

The early Celts were very balanced in the way they scheduled their lives. One of the places this is seen most clearly are in the High Holy days.

Each festival fell in between a solstice or equinox. February 6 for Imbolg, May 6th for Beltaine and August 6th for Lughnasadh as examples.

With the advent of the modern calendar, the festivals were assigned to dates based on solar cycles. And most Pagan Metaphysical traditions follow this selection of dates for their holiday observances. To some degree this does throw off the balance intended for the cycle of the lunar year. This is also one reason varying traditions hold their festivals on different days. Wicca for instance recognizes May 1st as the date for Beltaine. Where as my tradition, Deborean, still recognizes May 6th as the date to honor Bel.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Fool

May2

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Spread your wings and fly. You have the ability to be successful, but you must allow your inner self to heal and believe it. Stop doubting your ability and your skill. Stand with confidence and put forth the work to do the job you were meant to do. Only you can set up the barriers that keep you from success.

Additional Insight:

If you are struggling against negativity and hardship then look at what you’re doing. You may not be on the path you are meant to travel. Ask yourself if it’s your self doubt that’s keeping you from doing what you’re supposed to be working on. If so, it’s time to stop playing the part of the Fool and take charge of the journey that lays in front of you.

You have worked hard to attain the knowledge you have. You’ve put forth the effort to practice and hone that skill. If you feel you’re still not qualified, it’s time to change your thoughts! Or get off your duff and take that final course in management that gives you the understanding of what it takes to lead by example.

Right now the only thing holding you back is you. You believe in everyone else and share kind words and encouragement for them. It’s time to say those same words to yourself. It’s time to look in the mirror and tell yourself, I can do this; I am qualified!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ace of Cups

May1

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Your cup runneth over with healing and compassion. Believe it or not, success surrounds you as the sun rises today. Take a little time to celebrate and let go of the stress you’ve been hanging onto. Don’t worry about the tears of joy, you’ve earned the right to shed them.

Additional Insight:

The cup you’ve been filling all this time is finally reaching the brim. You’ve put a lot of healing into that potion and it’s finally paying off. The light of success is upon you and whether you see it or not, a lot of work is going on behind the scenes.

You are being chosen and you’re the one who will be rewarded for all the hard work you’ve been doing. Make sure you’re ready to take on the new responsibilities of your life. Tomorrow get focused, document the next steps and be prepared for when the doors open.

Take a little time to celebrate and let go of the anxiety you’ve held onto for so long. You deserve the down time and you deserve to be happy and revel in the new!

Remind yourself the results are in and you’re going to be fine. You’ve earned it. You deserve it. And it can and will be yours!

This is post 555. I love numbers like that. When a number appears in a 3-digit pattern like this, it could represent influence over the Mind/Body/Spirit aspects in your life. In which case we would apply the meaning of 5 from numerology to each area of your life.

Five – The number of chaos and force, influences, and creation.

This number is associated with Jupiter.
This number is associated with the Holly Tree.
This number is associated with the Wolf.
It represents Chaos and Creation (out of chaos comes creation).
Positive Direction: The number of leadership and the executive. This is the number of optimism and vision. Being able to see through the chaos and create success. Those with 5 in their life are assured of their own ability to succeed and create success even in adversity. They are adventurous and easily take risks.
Negative Direction: 5 can sometimes be too risky and make decisions based on a whim instead of inner intuition and research. They can over simplify, or live in a perspective of what could be instead of what is. While this might be beneficial in business, it’s detrimental in relationships and family.

But another approach in numerology for a 3 digit number is to add the numbers together to a single digit. 555 becomes 5+5+5=15 | 1+5=6.

Six – The number of family or community, coming together in harmony, working together and being in balance together as a whole.

This number is associated with Venus.
This number is associated with the Alder Tree.
This number is associated with the Red Hawk.
It represents Divine Harmony.
Positive Direction: This is the number of family, compassion, caring, diplomacy and children. Those with 6 in their life tend to be great parents, supportive and respectful to family and friends. They honor their elders and enjoy their children.
Negative Direction: 6 can also be the number indifference and argumentative. They can exhibit dissatisfaction through defiance and disrespect. They can fall into moments of being controlling in order to “make” things happen their way.

Which ever approach you see today, the message is for you and should be applied or joined with the message of today’s Tarot card to further explain the meaning of the day’s insight. Either way, it looks like it should be a good day for some folks!

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Magik is a foot, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need to study and be prepared for what’s coming. Just the opposite! Make sure you’re putting in the work to reap the rewards of your efforts. It’s not enough to be in the right place at the right time, you must also know what to do with the opportunity when it comes!

Additional Insight:

Magik can be a wonderful thing to help aid your desires by putting energy behind your dreams. But if you’re not prepared for what you ask for, when it does arrive, you’ll falter and fail.

It’s not enough to simply fill out the paper work and then sit back and wait. You must have a plan that will properly put your ideas into action and take advantage of the manifestation of those dreams. You must have knowledge to back up the dream, and you must have the wisdom to know when, where and how to use that knowledge.

Success isn’t just about being in the right place at the right time. You don’t want to claim to have the knowledge and understanding of a profession, without actually having it. When the opportunity comes along to use it, and you stumble in the new role, you will long term damage to your reputation and you may never get another chance again.

Be careful what you ask for! Today, you might get it. And you might not know what to do with it!!

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

What’s good for the Goose is good for the Gander. Remember, relationships are about give and take. Don’t be the side that only takes and gives nothing back. Words are wonderful things, but they only have meaning when they’re backed up with actions. The key to a long lasting relationship is holding the utmost respect for the one you’re with. Even when they’re not there with you.

Additional Insight:

Love is expressed through action, not just through words. And there are many ways to express the love you have for your partner and family. Cleaning the kitchen, doing the laundry, taking out the trash and changing the oil in the car are all examples of the little things we do for each other because we care and we love our partners.

You don’t have to bring home flowers, or go out to a fancy dinner to show your partner you love them. A simple touch on the shoulder, a hug at night before bed, even a phone call during the day simply to say “I needed to hear your voice” can go a long way to making your relationship filled with passion.

How you talk to and about your partner, whether in person or behind their back to others defines your relationship. If you put them down to your friends, they will develop opinions about your partner and treat them accordingly when they meet. They can either look down upon them, or they can hold them up with regard and kindness. But remember how you speak of them, will set up how they speak of you. Sometimes even if the “talk” is only in your head.

It goes a long way to showing your kids you care too. A note in their lunch box to let them know you’re proud of them will fill their day with pride. Having dinner at the kitchen table and not in front of the TV can make a big difference too.

It’s not the big things we do that say “I love you”. It’s the things you do for them when they’re not standing next to you. The right choices you make for your partnership. The words you say to others about them, behind their back. It’s all the little daily things that show it’s from the heart that matter.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Emperor

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You aren’t always in control of what goes on around you. But you are in control of how you react to it. It’s hard not to let the emotions of the day overwhelm you. But try not to let it get you into a funk. How you think creates how you feel and you can’t afford to be sick right now.

Additional Insight:

The hardships will pass. If there is one constant in the Divine Universe, it’s that all things change. How they change is up to you and you react to their tests of strength and fortitude.

No you can’t control the actions of others. No you can’t make people do what you think is right. All you can do is make choices that are best for you and those you care about and keep moving forward.

You’ve gone through so much already and you’ve survived. You’re still here putting up the good fight. That has more value than you realize. Focus on what you can control. Do things you need to do and if that means leaving someone behind in the process, then maybe they shouldn’t be in your life in the first place.

You can get through this. Believe it and you’ll make it happen.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knight of Cups

Apr25

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

A Knight is always vigilant, not only for danger but also for opportunities. Keep a watch out today and for the rest of the week. You may be conducting both a battle with an old foe and business with new connections. Be prepared and you’ll be able to take advantage of a lucky situation.

Additional Insight:

Luck is nothing more than preparedness meeting opportunity. Make sure you have your “equipment” and strategy in order and you’ll be able to take advantage of a situation where an old foe has failed. But don’t expect it to be a breeze to win the battle. There will be a small skirmish that you will win handily.

Simply keep your wits about you. Don’t allow others to bait you into a fight that causes you to lose control. If you allow your opponent to get under your skin, you’ll be seen as a radical that can’t be trusted to complete the job.

Instead allow your cool and calm attitude to overcome the obstacles, show off your talents and abilities. Ignoring the bait will allow you to take the prize. And in return, it will get under the skin of your old foe.

Remember revenge is best served cold. So be cold and calculating. Not hot and out of control. You have the intelligence and wisdom to control your day. So make it so!

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

Apr24

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Things are looking up if you’re willing to accept the compassion from unlikely sources. But be careful of those who simply want to ride on your coat tails. They may not deserve the extra effort on your part to pull them along. Nor should they be trusted for the long haul ahead.

Additional Insight:

It’s one thing to play the part of the fool and another to be foolish. It’s another day to be careful of someone who pretends to be on your side, but is only in it for themselves. Make sure your compassion is being given to the right party and for the right reasons. Trust is earned, it’s not given blindly.

You know the difference between being a friend and only acting the part. If you’re not sure who can keep a confidence, then keep your secrets to yourself. If you absolutely need someone to talk to, then find someone who’s business it is to keep quiet. Therapists, psychologists and clergy are good sources for that.

Sometimes the only person you can count on to look out for you, is you. Accept the compassion from others and celebrate the kindness of family and friends. But choose your confidences wisely, so you don’t get stabbed in the back later on.

It’s not always a good time to be so cynical, but today is one of those days. Trust your inner gut feelings, listen to your inner voice and you’ll find the way through the forest.
