Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Wheel of Fortune –

Wheel Of Fortune

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You can’t win if you don’t take the chance to play. Things aren’t going to happen if you simply sit there and dream about them or say a prayer and expect the Divine force in your life to magikally make it appear. Get up and get moving. Put your dreams and ambitions into physical reality. Take the chance to reach for the brass ring! You might actually grab it. But you’ll never know if you don’t at least try.


Additional Insight:
Even in Christian literature there’s the phrase “God helps those who help themselves”. Don’t sit in the dark and cry or whine about how bad things are in your life. Don’t wallow in self pity and talk down to yourself. “Why is this happening to me?” – Because you’re allowing it to happen. “Why can’t I have what I want?” – You can, but sometimes what you want isn’t what you NEED. “Why do others seem to skate through life and I have to suffer?” – You don’t know what karmic issues they have been through in the past. Not in this life or the ones previous to this. They may have been in a much worse place than you are now and this lifetime is a reward for that sacrifice.

Don’t compare yourself to others and what they do or don’t do. You have enough on your plate to deal with from your own life. So stop thinking that you don’t deserve the good things in life. You do! So get up and work on making them happen. You are a perfect incarnation of the Divine energy of Creation. You do deserve to reach for your dreams. And if you don’t grab the brass ring this first go around; ok that’s fine. You learned a lot about what to do and what not to do. Now apply that to the second attempt.

You have already overcome so much on your path. Don’t let the negativity of others feed your inner thoughts and bring you down to their level. Don’t carry their baggage for them. Don’t listen to their put downs or disapproval or nay saying attitudes. If they want to live in the negative world, then walk away from them and let them live there alone. You’ll probably be giving them exactly what they want anyway. But you don’t have to live there with them.

You can do this because you are one with the Divine. The “All that is” energy of creation is on your side. Tap into it, connect with it, allow it to shine on your day and help direct you into the light of positive possibilities. “I can! Because I am one with the Divine!”

Here we are at 13 Days Left And Counting

13, the number of magik and change. The perfect number for a coven. There are 13 lunar cycles, which coincide with the 13 cycles of the Goddess (menstrual cycles). In Matriarchal societies, 13 is the perfect good luck number. It’s the number of the Crow and Raven. There are 13 levels of ascension in ancient Egyptian death rituals. And 13 primary gods/goddesses in most pagan pantheon groups.

Here’s to 13! Help us make it a great one!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Nine of Wands

Nine Of Wands

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

In nine days you’ll be able to rest a little. Until then don’t give up! Things that are worth fighting for are also worth the energy you put into it. Don’t allow the anxiety and tension to drain your ability to focus and stick to the plan. The more you worry about the situation, the more you’ll waste both time and energy on what needs to be done. Be patient with yourself. You’re doing what you can and what needs to be done. Stop trying to be the super hero.


Additional Insight:

Magik and creativity are in the air. Now is the time to focus on your connection to spirit and fall back on your beliefs and spiritual connections. Both physical and ethereal. Wands help us see the Divine light around us and teach us ways to use that magikal energy in our daily lives. So stop trying to be the super hero who does everything on their own and by their self. Call upon your spiritual connections for assistance. Take time to sit down, draw out your spiritual circle, go to your spiritual sanctuary through meditation and ask the Divine force in your life to help you focus your consciousness mind and align it with your super-consciousness. Ask for assistance in seeing the solution, implementing it through each physical action you make and establishing what needs to be done.

Trying to do everything on your own doesn’t make you more sufficient it merely makes you less available to those in your life who need and want to be with you. Being the super hero is a lonely job. By its very nature you can’t put your faith in others or trust others with your biggest secret. There’s no one to rely on and no one to call on for help in this world.

You are not from another planet or another realm. You are here, in the now, of this world. And you are part of a community. Why are you fighting so hard to be on the outside looking in?

The next weeks of this month are very important to pagans. We see these days as the time when the spiritual veil lifts from our physical world and we become closer to the ethereal realm. There no better time than the next few weeks to bring your inner spirit closer to that realm of Divine understanding and wisdom. Find the community that fits your ways and provides you with a plethora of new friends and friendships.

~~~~~~~~~

We have been working hard to complete our mission to help those who have asked us for assistance. Our campaign is coming to a close soon and we’re still in need of help from you and our spiritual community. We can’t be more thankful to those who have been able to help us in our mission. But we have a long way to go to bringing this into reality. In the next 14 days, we need to raise $300 to met the first goal of our campaign. While we’d like to fund the entire project, we believe that even half of that will make a big difference.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Nine of Cups

Nine of Cups

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

If you need a hug, ask for one. Don’t assume others can read your mind and should simply know how you feel. Sharing a hug is an exchange of healing energy, compassion and can give someone a lift when they’re feeling down. It’s also a sign of honor and appreciation. If you have received a great gift or service, don’t be afraid to say thanks with a hug. You may make someone’s day.


Additional Insight:

Remember when you give a hug, you’re getting one back. The importance of human touch has been documented for decades, maybe even centuries. We all need some form of human contact to maintain mental health and stability. And on some level, physical health as well.

Sharing a hug with someone who seems down or is struggling with challenges in life can let them know they’re not alone. While you may not be able to solve their problems, you can give them a place to look toward for advice or even simply a person who will listen and let them blow off steam.

When someone does something really nice for you, a hug can let them know you value their gift and you’re honored by their thoughts of or for you. It may not be something you can do with everyone. Some work situations may not be appropriate or could cause issues. But you can ‘give a hug’ with words and say how much you appreciate what they have done for you.

Show others that you value their friendship and consideration. Give a hug today.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Fool –

The Fool

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t be so serious. Have some fun and enjoy life. There’s a lot of reasons to smile and laugh. You don’t have to be the stick in the mud who can’t see through the struggle at the good things. Yes things are tough, yes you’ve been fighting hard to stay afloat. But you’ve also got some great blessings in your life that have nothing to do with money. Stop looking at what you don’t have! Start enjoying what you do have and you’ll find the smile and laughter again.


Additional Insight:

Everyone can get down from time to time. The more stress and anxiety you have on your shoulders the longer and farther down you can get. When you focus on all the negative things that have happened or might occur in the day to come, you pull more of that negative energy toward you. That makes it hard to smile and laugh at the things you used to have fun with. Nothing seems funny now, because of the weight of all the negative things that have happened.

But if you can focus on the good things, the possibilities and the potentials, you can pull more positive energy onto your path and help turn things around. You have a lot of blessings to connect with if you’ll simply take the time to look.

If you’re reading this post, you can be thankful for the resources that have provided you pc and internet connection to do that. Even if that resource is the local library. If you’re looking at this from your smart phone, you can be thankful you have the world at your fingertips and the resources to have the phone and the cell service. If you’re looking at this from a friends pc or phone; there’s nothing more valuable than that friendship.

There are many little things we take for granted everyday. Stop for a moment. Stand or sit still and look around you. What is by your side that you’re thankful to have in your life? Kids? A partner that loves you? Friends? What about the pet you give love to and get enjoyment or support from. Even fish have blessings they give to those who have them!  Count your blessings. You’ll probably find you have a lot to smile about.

If you’re feeling so down that you can’t shake the feeling, consider talking to your doctor, or a local medical care center about depression. People who appear to be functioning normally through every day life can be stricken with clinical depression and not realize it. Learn more about the seriousness of depression at the National Institute of Mental Health. There is help out there for all who need it. You don’t even have to have medical insurance to get it.

Family Caregiving For The Elderly Or Sick

Divine Holistic Healing

Compassion and Healing

Living With Chronic Complainers

Getting old or being sick isn’t easy. Living with those who are feeling the aches and pains of age and illness isn’t easy either. They often seem angry all the time, never have a nice thing to say about anything or anyone and their negativity can easily bring down the entire house in an instant. You want to be compassionate, you want to be there for your family when they’re in need. But even the best of people can only take so much before they go crazy themselves.

From the perspective of the older or ill relative, they already feel as though they’ve become a burden to you. If it’s a parent you’re taking care of, remind them that they took care of you when you were young and now it’s your turn to take care of them. Tell them that the U.S. is the only country that doesn’t treat it’s elderly with the utmost respect and dignity. In most other countries, the elderly are revered and honored. In many countries of Asia, it’s an honor to be selected as the one who is responsible for caring for their elderly parents. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Four of Wands –

4 of Wands

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Sharing creative ideas will get the job done today. Share you wisdom and knowledge today with someone who is interested in learning. You’ll be surprised by the appreciation of your time and effort. But you’ll also get your own creative energies flowing that will help solve a long standing issue. Remember, what you give to others; you will get back.


Additional Insight:

Sharing what you have learned with others is very rewarding and fulfilling. But it can give you more than you realize in that moment. It can give you self confidence, an uplift in self esteem and it can reinvigorate your own sense of empowerment. Listen to your own words and the advice you give to others. Do you need to apply that same suggestion to your own path?

We often come across situations that mirror our own challenges. We’re great at telling others what we think they should do, but often times what we’re really doing is telling ourselves what we need to do.

Take sometime today to hear your own words of advice and encouragement to others. Listen to your suggestions and start implementing your own wisdom on your own path. Try Walking Your Talk on your path and you’ll be surprised at how far your own advice can take you.

It’s 10.11.12 – Does It Mean Anything?

Today Is October 11, 2012 (10.11.12)

If you believe in numerology of course it means something. But which numerological method do you follow?

Many people think there is only one pattern of number analysis. In actuality there are several. Mathematics is the only language shared by all humans regardless of culture, religion, or gender. Many of the ancient cultures: Babylon, China, Egypt, India,and Japan were using forms of numerology long before the Greeks and Romans. Over the centuries each culture has created its own method of analyzing numbers. While there are many of these, several methods have risen to the top so to speak, as the most common methods or practices. These are: Chaldean, Chinese, Indian Vedic, Kabbalah, Pythagorean (also called Western) and Shamanistic (which can vary from Germanic, Celtic, Indo-European or the Americas).

Numerology is the study of the divine or mystical relationship between a count or measurement and life. It has many systems, traditions and beliefs. To learn more about read The Bare Minimum Basics of Numerology and begin your own research. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Empress – Inverted

The Empress - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t be the leader today. Get your rest and let someone else steer the ship for a while. Cook up your own ideas, work out things in your head, write some plans or work on creative projects. Give the stress and anxiety to someone who is dying to step up to the plate and let them be Boss For The Day.


Additional Insight:

While you’re trying to do everything for everyone else, you’re using up your energy and depleting your body’s natural immunities. If you don’t already have a cold, you’re working your way to getting a big one. So make sure you take time to take it easy and stop worrying yourself sick.

Today take time for you to do what you enjoy and express your creative energies. Whither it’s an idea you have at work, a project you want to spend time on at home. Give yourself permission to work on what helps you relax and let someone take care of the day’s work.

If anything else, the person who keeps saying you have an easy job and they’d love to have it, will discover it’s not easy at all. When they come to you and ask for help, tell them they’re the boss and they have to make the decisions. But don’t let them sell the farm. When the day is over and they’re totally exhausted from the stress and running around, they’ll appreciate what you do a whole lot more.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Nine of Swords

9 of Swords

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Just cause you’re feeling tied up today, doesn’t mean you can’t take a moment to enjoy the little beauties in life. One of them might be bringing you a long awaited gift. Don’t ignore everything for the sake of the all mighty dollar; it really isn’t worth it. You’ll miss out on those special moments and eventually you’ll realize they’re gone forever. It’s true what they say; you never realize what you have, until it’s gone.


Additional Insight:

Don’t strangle your thoughts and tighten your focus on the work that’s before you. The relationships in your life also require effort, attention and work on your part. Make room for those who are important to you too.

Whither it’s taking a moment to look your child in the eyes and hear a story they have to share. Or giving a hug to that special someone to let them know you love them and care about them. It doesn’t take that much time to do, nor does it take that much effort.

It can also benefit the work you’re trying to get done. Those little moments of distraction help you clear your mind, and release the stress that builds up during the day. When you come back to the work; you can see it with fresh eyes and see the mistakes, or find the solutions to the problems that have plagued you all day.

Not to mention, it may keep those who care about you from feeling neglected, ignored and not worthy of your time or attention. You maybe working hard to keep those loved ones fed, clothed and warm. But material things aren’t the only items they need. They need you too.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Fool – Inverted

The Fool Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Acting the fool once in a while doesn’t mean you’re foolish and can be taken advantage of. It means knowing how to have fun and getting enjoyment out of the little things in life that most “adults” walk past without noticing. Stop worrying so much about what others think of you. You’re letting them define who you are and the person you “should be”. Do you really want to put that power in “their” hands?


Additional Insight:

There’s nothing wrong with having a little fun and letting off steam. There are many ways to relieve stress and relax. Who’s to say your way isn’t proper or the best way for you?

Don’t live your life based on someone else’s criteria. They don’t know you and their life isn’t all it’s cut out to be either. If crawling around with your animals skins your knee and allows you to have some fun, then go right ahead and do it. Wear that skinned knee with pride.

And when others try to make you feel silly or put you down, simply remind them that life is full of little things that make you smile and see the beauty in living. It’s a shame they can’t take the time out of their overly happy life to reveal in those things. But it doesn’t mean you can’t.

— It’s National Stop Bullying Month —
Do something, get involved and stand up to the fear tactics of others who try to degrade others so they feel better about themselves. That’s all a bully is. Someone who doesn’t have their own self-esteem or self-worth in check and the only way they can feel better about who they are, is to put someone else down. To do that, they find someone they think of as weak and start their fear campaign. But when a target stands up for his or herself, the bully will back down and look for a new target. When they do, find that person and talk to them. Strength in numbers will always overwhelm the bullies. They don’t have the confidence to stand alone.
