Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Four of Cups

Four of Cups

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t take your frustrations out on each other. Don’t turn your back on those you care for and need the most. You will win the day by supporting each other and working as a team. Being at odds only allows those trying to put a wedge between you to win. As a team you can use your creative wisdom to innovate, adapt and overcome anything.


Additional Insight:

When challenges arise is exactly when you should be reaching for each other. Not pushing the best asset you have, away from you. No things aren’t perfect, but that’s exactly why you need your partner to be there with you. You can share compassion, support and find strength in your partnership to endure and overcome. The cup isn’t empty, when it has your friendship to fill it up. 

Supporting each other helps you bounce ideas off each other. To give each other a pep talk and build each other up. Making each other feel a little more secure through “We’ll get through this”, will help you do just that. It will lift your spirit and allow you to move your thoughts into the higher realm of Divine Creation. From here, you can tap into the endless energy of creation and imagine new ideas, visualize unexpected solutions and discover solutions that will help you overcome the struggles.

Turning your back on each other only makes it harder and adds to the struggles that really aren’t the fault of your partner. Even if they tried a solution and it failed, at least they tried. Learn from the situations both past and present and you’ll be able to take another step closer to success when you apply what you learned next time.

Remember, you catch more bees with honey, than with vinegar. Share your sweetness with each other. A pat on the back, a supportive rub of the shoulder. A gentle hug if it’s appropriate. All these gestures of compassion and kindness will help everyone fight the stress and anxiety for one more day. You can do this. You really can. Especially if you do it together.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knight of Cups

Knight Of Cups

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft


You’re not the expert yet, you still have some learning to do. You can share your knowledge and lead the way, but don’t let it go to your head. Humility will serve you well today, so don’t forget to give credit where credit is due. And don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know, but I can find out”. Your honesty will be refreshing and admired.


Additional Insight:

You’re never too old or too lofty to learn. No one knows it all. In fact those who are the “experts” know there is much more they don’t know and have yet to discover.

The more you know, the more you realize you don’t know and the more questions you have. So there’s no reason to be arrogant or lofty or to look down on others who are new to their path of understanding and knowledge. You’re also not the only one who knows things. So be open to learning from others. Even from those who are just beginning their search for knowledge and understanding.

Being humble allows you to share what you know, without feeling a need to “prove” what you know. It means not feeling as though you need to impress others, because you already know who you are and what you know.

One of my most favorite sayings is “a teacher doesn’t teach, until the student is ready to ask the question”. Wait until your asked and then share your knowledge. But if you’re asked and you don’t know the answer, don’t try to bluff your way through it. Be honest, share what you do know about the topic, but admit what you don’t know. And make sure you add where you would go to find the answer and learn more about the subject.

Sometimes showing that you’re resourceful and able to enhance what you already know goes much farther to impressing and influencing people. It can also show a belief in yourself, a confidence that allows you to be an asset, not simply a body that fills a seat.

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

Four of Swords - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Stop feeding the conflict within yourself and find your inner compassion. Packing your day with lots of little things to keep you from thinking about you isn’t helping. It’s running away from the real issue. You’re so busy doing everything for everyone else, that you’re not loving yourself enough to see what you really need. Stop it. Look in the mirror and tell yourself I Love You and You do deserve better.


Additional Insight:

When we constantly put everything we have on the line, our emotions are going to get stepped on. It’s not the fault of others who stumble over the raw nerves we put out there. Stop looking to blame or point the fingers at those who crossed the line. Look at how you yourself are treating you.

Constantly taking on new things for others at our own expense is not noble. It’s not going to get you farther up on the list for entry into heaven. What it is going to do is wear you down, take your time away from the things in your life that matter most and put you in a position of internal conflict. You’re respecting everyone and everything else, but yourself. One thing that does matter the most.

It’s time to stop the running and deal with your emotions. Whither it’s a sense of loss, some delusion that you’re not good enough or that you don’t deserve the permanent or sustained happiness you seek. It’s time to stop the self negative talk and self loathing. Stop putting yourself down or saying “I don’t see why I can’t, others can”. The self punishment isn’t going to help you. Stop it!

As long as you’re trying to sell one thing, but internally degrading the product, you’ll continue the vicious cycle of energy that fails to move forward.

Stop trying to improve your value or self-worth by sacrifice. Others can see exactly what you’re doing and some have tried to tell you.  Love yourself, hold respect for yourself, believe in yourself and you will find your self-worth is already pretty high on the mark. You are worth the effort. You’re beautiful, smart, capable and you have the inner strength to overcome and attain your dreams.

YOU CAN! You are worth the effort. You will grab the brass ring. You are loved! You deserve a supportive and caring relationship. You are entitled to the happiness you seek! You can do this!! You are the perfect implementation of Divine Creation for this expression of your life! You are part of the greater Divinity of the Universe and now is the time for you to rise up and believe it!

Mother Nature’s Waters

snowwolfCollecting & Using Water For Rituals

Practitioners of pagan paths have long been associated with and connected to nature and all its elements. Using natures energy to empower workings and promote their connection to spirit, can be found on every continent throughout history.

When the world relied heavily on the swing of Nature’s spirit, rain and snow were honored components of every day life. Crops needed the right amount of rain to flourish. Winter needed the right amount of snow to maintain water supply. That hasn’t changed over the ages. But as societies became more urban, the focus on Nature’s energy and our connection to it has faded.

Today people notice the extremes of weather and pay little attention to its every day impacts. Unless you’re a farmer, or have your own garden in your backyard, you may not give the rain a second thought. But if you’re pagan and look for the energy in Nature’s movements through our world, you know it can be both an omen and a blessing. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Emperor

 

The Emperor

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You’re the boss who holds the bag. It’s your responsibility to guard it and ensure it’s filled with the tools and assets to care for your kingdom. Don’t blame others if you squander what you have. Take responsibility for your own fortune and walk forward with a steady focus. Avoid the quick rich schemes that only serve those who are working the con at your expense. Today is not the day to sign on the dotted line.


Additional Insight:

Be cautious this week of others trying to “get you something for nothing”, they’re only in it for themselves. So if it sounds like a great deal or a good opportunity, make sure you’re reading the fine print. Do your research before giving anyone a check.

There is deception swirling around today, from those who want what they think you have. Don’t give out too much information and guard both your assets and your trust well. Your friendship may not cost you anything today, but guilt by association may take away all you’ve worked for later on.

Remember, the first person you should freely give respect to is yourself. Then you can give respect to someone else. Respect the position, but the person who sits in its seat must earn your respect. They are no better than you, simply because they hold a certain office or position. They put their pants on the same way you do. Their title, nor their financial success or authority make them better than you. Don’t let their position scare you, threaten you, or talk down to you.

We are all human and all equal regardless of where we are, who we are or what we are. Walk through today with kindness  and compassion. But remember to be cautious over those who want to befriend your kingdom because of your assets, talents and wallet.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Death – Inverted

 

Death Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

A chapter has come to an end and the transition to something new is underway. Let the shadows of the past fall away and leave them behind you. Now is the time to search within and find the spiritual path that you have been nurturing beneath the surface in hiding.


Additional Insight:

The one and only constant in life is that things change. But you control how they transition and what they change into. If you carry the past on your shoulders, you will doom yourself to repeat the patterns you’ve already struggled through.

Take time to focus on putting the past to rest and mourn it’s passing. You no longer need to hold on to the emotions, struggles or battles that have already been fought and fallen long ago. Don’t hold onto that energy or you will pull more of the same into your life.

Change may not be easy, but most wish things would change and help them out of the rut. The only way this can occur is if you fully let go of the negative patterns and allow yourself to accept the transitions forward. You control your destiny. Your fate really is what you make of it today.

Don’t simply talk the good talk. Time to start practicing what you preach and living up to your speech. Drop the hypocrisy and start Walking Your Talk ©!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The World

 

The World

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You have the world in your hands. Rule it with love and compassion, and it will serve you with abundance and success. Rule it with arrogance and disregard, and you will find the weight of the world is much more than you can handle. Don’t lose it all over pettiness. Let your kindness heal the little hurts and your garden will give you all that you need.


Additional Insight:

The optimist sees all the possibilities their world has to offer. Beyond the hard work and effort. they can see the beauty in all things and be grateful to have opportunities to learn, grow and attain wisdom.

The pessimist focuses on the stress and anxiety of having their world on their shoulders without help or support. Leading to anger, jealousy and angst.

Each view attracts more of the same perspectives into your life. So be cautious how your gut reactions face the events that cross your path. Even the hard lessons are bringing you an opportunity to learn and move beyond the hardship. Meet them with compassion to heal the self, love to respond to them with kindness and acceptance to make the changes needed to over come.

When we accept the lessons of life, good, bad or indifferent and we’re willing to change with love, we find it easier to move forward and we are more open to the rewards that come forth.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Three of Swords

Three of Swords

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Try not to let the physical pain affect your mood. It’s not the fault of others that you’re hurting, so don’t take it out on them. Rest, relax, soak in a warm bath if you can. Remember that injury and ailments are a physical manifestation of an underlying thought pattern that you’ve been carrying for a long time. How you think, creates how you feel; Mind/Body/Spirit.


Additional Insight:

Eastern medicine has operated under this impression for centuries. Our thoughts create patterns that can manifest in the physical body. The body then tries to show us the message in order to get our attention and help us understand the cause of the patterns. When we recognize this, we can focus on the real problem and heal the ailment before it becomes a serious issue.

There are many books on the market that describe this system of belief and understanding, but for me, one of the best books on the market for healers is called “Heal Your Body” by Louise Hay, from Hay House Publishing. Ms. Hay has created one if not the definitive source for emotional causes, their corresponding illness and a metaphysical affirmation to help the individual deal with the originating cause.

The longer you ignore the emotional issue, the greater or more dire the illness becomes. The harder it is to heal or repair, until the issue develops into an illness that may not have a method to be healed.

For today and through the weekend, pay attention to your thoughts and how you use your self talk. Stop being afraid, feeling guilty or angry at yourself. Show compassion and self-love for your mind and body and forgive yourself. Turn the negative into positives and allow yourself to heal from within.

A little light reading from Spring’s Haven:

Deciphering The Ailment Message
Affirmations To Evolve The Spirit
Affirmations For Change

In the past year I have received a large number of messages asking for help with back pain. Because it seems to be one of the biggest issues people are facing, let me share those affirmations.

The back represents the support of life. The area afflicted with pain or problems can also pinpoint the underlying cause. There are 3 areas of the back, the upper (affects feelings), middle (affected by the past) and lower (affects financial).

Ailment: Lower Back Problems
Cause: Fear of money. Lack of financial support.
Affirmation: I trust the process of life. All I need is always taken care of. I am safe.

Ailment: Middle Back Problems
Cause: Guilt. Stuck in all that stuff back there. “Get off my back” feelings.
Affirmation: I release the past. I am free to move forward with love in my heart.

Ailment: Upper Back Problems
Cause: Lack of emotional support, feeling unloved. Holding back love.
Affirmation: I  love and approve of myself. Life supports and loves me.

Ailment: Herniated Discs
Cause: Ruptured relationships. Feeling great strain and burdens of support. Holding fear within ruptured relationships.
Affirmation: My mind is harmonious. I love and approve of myself. I am free to be me and support my own emotions with joy

Animal Sign

fallwolfWhen Animals Cross Your Path

Everyone has had an experience where an animal has crossed our path in the physical world and we wondered if it means something. How many times have you asked, or been asked, wonder what that wolf, deer, squirrel is trying to tell me?

Nearly all Shamanistic societies believe animals in the physical and spiritual worlds come to us for our own good to deliver messages.

When animals cross our path in the physical world they maybe bringing a warning or a message as guidance. They’re a “here in the now” kind of message that impacts our physical world.

But depending on the animal, they can cross their influence of meaning between the physical and spiritual worlds. Perhaps we’re not being as perceptive as we should be or we maybe we need to pay attention to a message from spirit that affects our physical choices. Listening to our gut feelings is an important part of living in balance and nature is all about balance. Continue reading

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

 

Ace Of Swords - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You have triumphed and the battle is won. Now it’s time to let go of the angst and allow yourself to feel the calm. Stop reacting to everything and everyone as if you’re still at war. You’re liable to create another conflict that you didn’t mean or want. Be at peace, relax and take time to feel the world of nature around you.


Additional Insight:

You have gotten too accustomed to fighting and you’re bringing that energy of the warrior into every situation of your life. Stop being the aggressive soldier and feeling as though you have to fight for everything. You’ve won the big battle, if not the entire war. It’s time to raise your weapon in triumph, not in anger.

Take time to release the anxiety of feeling as though the entire world is against you. It’s not. Rather it’s looking for much needed peace and serenity. Make a concerted effort to clear your energy, push out the stress and angst, let it wash away from your physical body, out of your home and away from every aspect of your life.

Spend some time today getting back to the basics of nature. Stand outside and take in the crisp fall air. Feel the cool breeze on your skin and allow it float freely and effortlessly through you, helping to push away the anger. Revel in its sights and sounds. See the subtle changes in energy as the world slowly becomes quiet as winter approaches.

The fall is always a great time to acknowledge the victories of the past and let them go as the forest let’s go of her falling leaves. See the beauty in releasing the old patterns and emotions of conflict. Pay attention to the gentle kindness of the animals as they gather preparations for fall and winter. Focus on your own changes and move toward the soft compassion of self-love and serenity.

Today is a great day to implement the The 5 Minute Clearing & Healing Meditation
Stop being so hard on yourself. Allow your old wounds to heal, sooth the scars of battle, both external and internal. The war is over. Let it go and allow the new joyful experiences to enter you life.

Consider visualization to help release and bathe yourself in the new. Yellow is the color of success and creativeness. Orange indicates ambition, pride, self-sufficiency. As you look at the fall colors (or the spring blooms if you’re in the southern hemisphere), imagine these aspects energy swirling around you. If you’re coming into fall, stand beneath a tree and allow the falling leaves to shower their colorful energy onto and through you. If you’re coming into spring allow the falling pedals from blooming trees and vines to do the same for you. Think of them as bubbles of energy dropping down, and when they touch you and pop, they shower you with their positive energy.
