Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Seven of Swords

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Even though you may feel restricted or stuck in the muck, you can still nurture your dreams and ambitions. Remember everything happens for a reason in its right time and pace. Don’t push things too quickly or you could struggle longer than is necessary. Allow things to fall into place as they may this week. Continue planning and working behind the scenes to prepare for breaking the ties of the past or present. But don’t break anything yet!

Additional Insight:

This is the last week of the 3 week struggle. Seven more days to be cautious, don’t burn your bridges too soon, and hold on for the rest of the world to catch up to you. Don’t let your frustrations with those around you, or the situations at hand to push you into doing something you might regret next week. Patience, strength and trust that the Divine is on your side will get you through these next seven days. Hang in there!!! You’re going to be ok!

Don’t break the bridges of the past, you may need them for your future success. While you have some very strong relationships to support you in your coming endeavors, there are a few you maybe looking forward to cutting. Be careful who you distance yourself from. Some of those acquaintances maybe your saving grace in the months to come.

Additional Insight:

While you have two great partners in your basket to support you and help you move forward on your plans, you need those you’ve worked with before. Don’t burn your bridges! The next 8 months are crucial for building new relationships and strengthening old ones. Even though things are working out well to bring your plans together, there are some ‘necessary evils’ to maintain. Yes they’re annoying, yes they’re frustrating; but keeping them on your side will be 10 times better than making them an enemy and having to deal with the turmoil they can create for you.

Remember that sometimes success comes from not what you know, but who you know!

Which reminds me of another infamous phrase we used to use in the top 10 corporate world; It’s not what it says, it’s what it looks like that matters most.

Daily Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Hermit – Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t let the whirlwind sweep you up into the darkness and drama. Choose your companions well today and avoid the negative drama queens/kings. Keep your thoughts in the positive light and allow the glow of inspiration to fill your day. Remember you have free will and choice. Use them well.

Additional Insight:

You don’t have to hang around with the people who pull you down and zap your energy. You have the choice to say “No”, or “I can’t right now”. You don’t need to make excuses or justify your choices. If they can’t accept that, then try to explain in a loving way that you understand they’re going through tough times, but so are you. And you have chosen to rise above the negativity and have a good day despite the issues. Then walk away. If they’re in your office, simply you have to take a break and go to the bathroom, you’ll talk to them later. Nice easy way to get them out of your office and defuse any potential clash.

Have a great day and Blessings Be To Thee!

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Think, contemplate, work out the details and write down your plans. Don’t let this slow period go by without taking advantage of it. You are being given an opportunity to work out all the next moves and create success in the coming months. Think things through, before you act! That is the most important message of the day!

Additional Insight:

Consider all the possibilities and potential outcomes. Play ‘Devils Advocate’ to your solutions and determine if there are holes or issues to be addressed before you proceed. If you are dealing with business, consult an attorney (1st consolations are generally free). If you’re dealing with relationships, consider speaking with a therapist or spiritual psychologist/therapist. Don’t put it off till tomorrow, don’t write a list you’ll never get to. Do it today. Pick up the blasted phone and start putting your thoughts into practical action!

A much needed gift is coming your way today. It may take a little time to hatch, so don’t try to use it before it’s ready. Even though you’ll be biting at the bit to get going; don’t! It’s very important that you don’t count all your chickens before they’re hatched today. Make sure you know what have before you start giving any of it away!

Additional Insight:

While it’s a much needed gift, it comes with conditions. Be cautious you don’t try to use it too soon or you could create a bigger burden on your plate. Patience is needed to let all things fall into place. Go with the flow and don’t rush anything today!

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Allow your support system to hold you up today. The despair can be overwhelming and the Divine knows you’re feeling exhausted, but don’t give up. You are loved and there are many who care about your well being. Allow them to help, even if the only thing they can do is hold your hand. The compassion will help you feel better and renew your strength to fight another day.

Additional Insight:

These challenges couldn’t have come at a worse time. Just when things seem to have turned around and you made it two steps ahead, you get kicked in the teeth and knocked backward three steps to start all over again.

It’s very important to remember that what’s going on is not because of something you did, or didn’t do. These circumstances are bigger than you and are being manipulated by forces outside your control. In some cases, others are not ready for you to implement your next steps and you’re being held up. In other cases, those in control are playing games with the world for their own greed and impacting everyone else without care.

Don’t give up on you! Don’t give up your plans you’ve worked so hard on. You will get through this with creativity and support from those around you. While you may feel insecure, or feel that you’ve become a burden and you’re reluctant to ask for help; remember things will not always be like this. You will be able to repay the kindness and support you receive three fold. You’ve gotten through so much already. Stand strong and you will get through the next 3 weeks as well.

Sunday’s Homily: Getting Started On Your Spiritual Path

Starting Your Own Spiritual Journey

Many people feel overwhelmed and inundated with so much information on the bookshelves and online. It’s hard to know which way to go or where to start your own spiritual journey. Getting started isn’t as hard as you might think, and there are many places to begin for accurate and safe information. Here is my suggestion and a little information for those with an interest and desire to begin their spiritual journey.

To start the search into your own spiritual interests, define what you currently believe. Whither you’re interested in Pagan Metaphysics or some other spiritual path, you should have an idea of what you believe now. Putting your beliefs into writing instead of just talking about them, helps you define the connection between your beliefs, understand what you believe, and identify what you might not understand or where there are gaps in your beliefs. Learn more about Defining Your Beliefs.

Next, do your own research. Read everything! The more you read, the more you’ll be able to distinguish what is good source material from what is not. Look for material that cite the sources of their information. Continue reading →

What You Think, Creates How You Feel

As you may know, our own thought patterns affect the health of our body and mind. Each emotional thought pattern is really an underlying “cause” of a physical illness or characteristic about yourself that you don’t like. From migraines to low self esteem we create thought patterns in our conscious and subconscious minds that affect how we act and react to situations in our lives.

Over time, those negative thoughts can affect our physical medical conditions if left unattended. In other words, our psychological thought patterns often progress into physical illness or ailments. The longer we ignore the thought pattern, the more severe the ailment can become.

For instance, if you have a recurring issue with your right wrist, you can look at the ailment and decipher the underlying mental issue. Ask yourself what does this area of my body do for me physically? The wrist allows you to be flexible with holding or handling things. So the general underlying message for this ailment is that you’re not being flexible in the way you’re handling a situation in your life. Continue reading →

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Relax, the barriers before you are not as big as you’re making them out to be. There’s no need to stress over climbing the fence when all you need to do is step over it. You haven’t done anything wrong, you’re not being punished. Things are being held up in order to manifest goals you set last fall. Don’t push to quickly or you could alter your path negatively.

Additional Insight:

Yes there are issues to be resolved that are holding back your success. But while it’s time to be cautious and conserve, don’t make this challenge out to be more than it actually is. It’s not a set back, it’s not because you did something too soon or that you shouldn’t have. In fact, the challenge is being created by forces outside your control. Be patient! Be calm! And you’ll get through the next few weeks with relative ease. You did nothing wrong! You will be ok!
