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

Knave of Pentacles - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You might want to keep to yourself today, to preserve your good mood. Not everyone has your best interests at heart. Many are looking for an easy buck or an unwitting mark to scam. Keep your finances and possessions close to the vest! Don’t share news or information, even with those you think you can trust. Friendships have ended over much less.


Additional Insight:

Pentacles represent the essence of Finances & Debt, Possessions & Trappings, Business & Self Interests. The reverse of today’s fae bring a warning that the darker side of these interests are in play. While you maybe feeling good about your situation, others are not sharing your emotion. So be cautious!

If you have a friend who simply can’t control their spending, tries to live a champagne life on a beer salary, or always wants what others have, that person may not be so trustworthy with knowledge of your current situation. Don’t rub it in, don’t flaunt it and for goodness sake, don’t fall for every sad story you hear! Allowing others to manipulate you over their bad choices is like opening the door to your life and letting them in to take whatever they want, when ever they want with no regards for you or your well being.

There’s no meditation drawing today. I apologize for the inconvenience.
For today and through the weekend, just be kind to each other. Stand up for the rights of each other. Spread respect, not bigotry and hate. That what real humans do and we need more of that acceptance and love in the world.

Monday is a holiday here in the States. So we’ll be back on Tuesday.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Five of Wands

Five of Wands

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Life takes a lot of give and take. You’ve gotten used to the giving. Or in some cases losing what you’ve worked hard for. Time to stop that downhill snowball and welcome the unexpected gifts back into your life. In some cases though, you need to find out what strings are attached. And if anything is expected of you in return, you need to refuse acceptance.


Additional Insight:

Someone may honestly be trying to give you something, to let you know there are still good people who care about others. Be gracious and welcome their kindness. You’re not doing yourself any favors by trying to be courageous and refusing a gift. Even if you think it’s all someone else has and they don’t need to be giving it to you. Refusing would be a slap in the face and you certainly don’t want that. Swallow your pride and let someone help you! You deserve it too!!

In other cases, someone might be using your struggle as leverage hidden in a surprise. Those people have ulterior motives and want you on their side without having a real concern for you. Or what might happen to you as a result of their “gift”. Be cautious of those “too good to be true” offers. Continue reading

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

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Watch your pennies and stay on budget or keep to your plan! As much as you want to indulge in your favorite activity, you know this isn’t the week to let go or give in. Fulfill the desires with personal introspection and seek out what really has true value to your soul. The physical world is tempting, but your spirit knows what you really need right now.


Additional Insight:

So things have been going well, but for many, it’s still a week by week budget or focus that dominates our day. It’s nice that you’re feeling good about things, but that’s only because you’ve stuck to your current limits and worked on your bigger plan. Now is not the time to spend a windfall that you don’t really have yet. Whither that’s financial, emotional or some other goal you’ve been working on. Patience and fortitude will serve you best today.

No matter what your situation, frivolous expenditures through money, emotion or time, won’t give you what you really want. If you’re not careful, you’ll fall right back into the old trap of trying to make yourself feel better by being surrounded with “things” that you already know aren’t good for you. Taking time to be within yourself, to express who you are freely and what you really wish you could become, are the better actions. Continue reading

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

Three of Swords - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Remember that worry makes you weary. Time to stop dwelling on things that cannot be changed. A chapter is over, it’s ok to grieve. But dwelling on that grief won’t change the outcome and it won’t bring you peace. Everything happens in its right time and space. When it’s over, it’s over. Let it go and move on.


Additional Insight:

Change is hard, we all know that. But change is the only constant in the Universe. You can’t stop it, you can turn back the clock. All you can do is manage how you allow events in your life to affect you today and into the future. The more you hold onto those situations of change, the more control you’re giving to the event that occurred. Let go of the struggle and move forward for your own sake.

“You cannot change the past. You can only change the way
you allow the past to affect your present and your future.”

Just because you have others to think about, doesn’t mean forsaking your own Mind, Body and Spirit. Being a whole and balanced you will be better for everyone concerned. Whither you need to take a stand or accept the consequences of a decision already made. It’s time to put the struggle to rest and move forward for the betterment of yourself, and all others concerned. The choice isn’t going to be as hard as you’re worrying it will be. So stop thinking the worst! Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Five of Cups

5 of Cups

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Tears of Joy, not sorrow, are in the works. A long-standing source of stress, will finally be resolved in your favor. Allow yourself to “let it out” and release the anxiety you’ve been carrying for so long. It’s time to let healing take over and a new exploration of life to begin.


Additional Insight:

While the majority of the world has been moving along over the past five years, some have still been struggling for any kind of recovery in various areas of their lives. For those still struggling, today is your day to find that illusive place of relief. Don’t fear the final judgement. Even if you don’t get everything you wanted, you will still come out ahead. There are many reasons to feel grateful for the success you’ll find this week. Even if you can’t see them all right now. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Queen of Wands

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You’ve made your choice, now be resolved and be at peace with it. The path you walk isn’t for others to judge, this isn’t their life you’re leading. The fear and doubt they have about their journey, isn’t something you need to share or hold near and dear with the steps you take to move forward. It’s your life, lead it.


Additional Insight:

Many people have been living in the shadows allowing others to make decisions that impact our day-to-day life. From personal to political we’ve been comfortable in our shoes, walking the path that others have laid out for us. Maybe because we didn’t want the responsibility, or it just seemed easier that way. Maybe because we haven’t been able to believe in ourselves, that we can be the one in charge of where we’re going. Continue reading

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

Ace of Wands - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Watch out for the deception trying to confuse, redirect and manipulate you. Keep yourself grounded in confidence, facts and evidence. Especially if you’ve already done the research. Stick to your guns and don’t buy into those stories that try to circumvent the truth with personal drama and rumor. You’re the one who can remain in the light of knowledge, fly under the radar and come out on the right side of the current chaos.


Additional Insight:

Don’t listen to the rhetoric of others. They don’t know any more than you do and are only repeating rumors. If the latest battles involve you directly, then find your own way. Do your own research and discover the actual truth. You may need to find new sources for your information, including the evaluation of facts offered by the opposition. You won’t find the truth by staying within a comfortable bubble. You must look at all sides in order to fully understand what’s been hidden all along and what the real truth has been.

2018 New Year Full Moon & Blue Moon

January 1st Full Moon

Are you ready for the Full Moon on January 1st? It’s the Winter Wolf Moon in my Clan. And because the moon is still so close to Earth in its Perigee during December 2017, a lot of folks are also calling this coming full moon the Supermoon for 2018.

Supermoons aren’t anything extra special in the world of science. It’s just a commercial name for when the Moon is closest to Earth during its regular orbit around the planet. Because the Moon is closer to Earth in its perigee, it appears to be bigger than what we’re used to seeing during any other full moon through the year.

For Pagans, these closer moons can mean GrandMother Moon is coming in close to look in on the Children of Mother Earth. Esbat rituals (special observances for the phases of the moon) may give special honor to the Old Crone aspect of the Triple Goddess.

January Blue Moon

To top it off, because the full moon is occurring so early in the month, it allows us to squeeze in a 2nd full moon for this month. A Blue Moon, which graces our presence on January 31st, 2018 at 8:27am.

Many in the media are trying to promote this Blue Moon as a “Blood Moon”. It’s not! A Blood Moon is a very specific time of the year for Pagans. And since the name comes from a Pagan observance, I think we get to say when it occurs.  They need to Stop Mixing Mysticism with Science –  No it’s not a Blood Moon.

There are several articles here on my blog that talk more in-depth about these special phases of the Moon that you might be interested in.
