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

2 of wands - inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t let the little irritations get to you today. There’s a lot going on and you need to focus on your bigger issues. Make agreements, place your stake in the events you need to be part of and go about your business. Let others fight their own ground and be supportive when asked. But don’t stick your nose where it doesn’t belong. You don’t have the time, or resources to fight in someone else’s cause.


Additional Insight:

It’s one thing to RT a picture of support and another to take on the fight from the front lines. Make sure you have a stake in the battle before you begin lecturing others or providing editorials about events that don’t hit home at your house.

You have a lot on your plate already. You have your own battles to deal with as it is. You have the experience and the right to make comment on your struggles, but make sure you don’t allow that to over flow to someone elses pond. A battle of words over something you have no involvement with will back fire and put you in a very uncomfortable situation. Stick to being a big fish in your pond; and let the little fish in the big pond vie for their own status.

Show your support, and concern. “Let me know if you need anything” can go a long way to helping out and letting others know you care. Even if you’re not called upon to share your time or energy, your offer will be appreciated. Then let it go and focus on your own work and your own struggles. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Two of Pentacles

Two of Penacles

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

There’s more abundance in your basket than you realize. Don’t let a couple of things make you feel as nothing is working out. It’s simply those issues that aren’t meant to follow that road you’re trying to take. Things are heading in the right direction and solutions will come from unexpected sources. Give it a few days and you’ll feel as if things are falling right into your lap. Be patient.


Additional Insight:

It’s not that things aren’t working out already in the New Year. It’s that those solutions weren’t the right ones for you at this point and time. You’re grasping at straws and pushing for any resolution possible. Even if it’s something you don’t want to do in the first place. Relax and breath. Stop implementing the old patterns of thinking.

Allow the Divine Universe to work on your behave and bring in unexpected solutions and help. You’ve got more going for you than you’re willing to allow yourself to admit. So stop the negative self talk. Stop thinking things are falling back where they were. Because none of that is true and you’ll only put forth energy that will slow things down.

Keep up beat. Keep the positive actions flowing from you and being the positive force that keeps your journey moving forward. You’ve got more coming your way and it will arrive in time. Be patient. Don’t let the worry make you weary and start unraveling everything you’ve worked so hard on.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Five of Swords

Five of Swords

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Take accountability for your actions and be responsible for your deeds. Start the year off by making an effort to be in control of your world, instead of ignoring those things you don’t want to deal with. If it’s a person, maybe it’s time to move the negative out and allow room for the positive to enter. If it’s a situation, take it head on and implement the solutions you’ve already devised. This is your year to take charge of your life.


Additional Insight:

Swords bring the message of strength or struggle. Start the year off by empowering yourself to rule your world. Don’t let hidden agendas, the secrets of others, or the manipulation of those who think they know what’s best for you, to lead your journey. Time to get back to work and make it a Happy Year.

Be accountable for your actions and make a concerted effort to learn all the facts before you make a decision. This is not the time to allow others to “tell” you what’s what. Find out for yourself. Do the research and discover the information without bias. You may find things are not as you’ve been told.

Even those who act innocent or seem forth-right in their cause can spin a tale to their advantage. Don’t become one of their pack and join their ranks. Keep a look out for the little parasites that try to invade your domain. They want to ride on your coat tails and feed off your hard work and energy. Continue reading

The 2015 Moon Phase Calendar

"Merlin In The Moon" by Springwolf 🐾

“Merlin In The Moon” by Springwolf 🐾

And Beyond

2014 marked the last year I will provide an update to the moon phase calendar on my education site Pagan’s Path. You can view all the calendars we have shared since 1999, on the Path in our Moon Phase Archive.

With the advent of technology and “smart devices”, better moon phase apps have become available and our moon calendar has become obsolete. These new apps do a great job of personalizing phases and events for your specific location and notifying you of phase changes.

If you have a tablet or smart phone, I have a couple of apps on my phone that I use throughout the year that you might like. I have a reminder set for a few days before a moon phase change so I have time to get ready for a ritual or make plans for an Esbat ceremony I might be officiating. Between my two favorite apps, I never miss a phase change or a daily event.

I gave a critique of some of these apps here on Reflections in December 2012. You will find that review on Sun & Moon Watching On Your Phone and I will update it as apps and time permit.

If you don’t have a smart device, you can still follow the phases online through MoonConnection.com and the US Navel Observatory.

For those of you who have relied on the Pagan’s Path yearly Moon Phase calendar, I’d like to say thank you so much for your support and for relying on us to help you through the year!

Many Blessings,
Spring

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Six of Cups

Six of Cups

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Make sure your cups are open and ready to receive. Go with the flow through the remainder of the year. Contemplate your actions, how much you’ve changed and grown, and what you’ve learned. Allow your own Creative energy to take form and come to you as the year comes to close. But most of all, be proud of yourself for what you have survived through and what you have achieved.


Additional Insight:

Relax and feel the blessings coming your way. You’ve done all you can for this year and now it’s time to take a deep breath, and let it all go. Release the work to the Divine force in your life and allow the energy of Universal Creation work for you.

Keep your dreams alive and hold them in your heart. But from here on out to the end of the year, “Let go and let the Gods” work on it. You’ve done your due diligence and put in the efforts to help yourself. You’ve never been alone in this task. There’s always been help standing behind you.

Now allow your faith to move the mountains and finish out the tasks you’ve planned, developed, tweaked and constructed. Be content that you have done all you can for now. And during this period of the 12 Days of Yule, it’s your time to relax and enjoy the blessings that have already come your way. Continue reading

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

wands-king-inv

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t poke the Giant. You may not want to be on the receiving end of ‘his’ temper. Being the comedian that gets everyone laughing isn’t a good thing when it’s at the expense of someone else. What you think is a funny story, may be a stressful and emotional touchy subject for others. Show a little compassion even though you don’t understand what’s going on. You’ll gather more attention and more appreciation by being understanding and kind.


Additional Insight:

If you’re the one hosting the party this year, you are responsible for making everyone feel comfortable. But that doesn’t mean you’re the scheduled entertainment, so don’t feel that you have to be on stage lifting everyone’s spirit too. You can provide the stage, but everyone else has to make the choice on their own to entertain themselves.

This time of year isn’t easy for everyone. Part of helping others feel comfortable at your gathering is showing them compassion and helping them control their own emotions. Letting them know you noticed their struggle is all you need to do. Don’t make them share their story if they don’t want to. But let them know you’re available if they want to talk discreetly and in total confidence. No matter what, don’t be the town crier with their story. You’ll only make things worse! Continue reading

The 12 Days of Yule

Merry Yule To You and Yours!

Merry Yule To You and Yours!

Celebrating The Winter Solstice

Today marks the Winter Solstice. The first day of Yule for pagans and it begins the 12 day celebration that honors the Triple Goddess and the rebirth of the God in the form of the Sun.

In the days of old, calendars were based on a variety of sources. Some were lunar or astrological. Some were remarkably accurate, others may have been off by a day or more. Some may have been based on calculations that were learned through years of observations, or passed down through generations. And then there were those that tracked the sun through early temple or monument structures. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Star

The Star

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Be the Star of your own life and put the spotlight on you. While you maybe used to putting others first and thinking of what everyone else wants, today is your day to shine. Be a little selfish and do what you feel you want to do to celebrate and please yourself. Forget about sacrificing for everyone else and get that special present you want for under the tree or in the stocking or where ever you share your gifts for the holiday season. Remember, you are part of your family too and even you deserve a special holiday package to open!


Additional Insight:

Sometimes it’s ok to be the center of your attention, after all aren’t you the most important character in play that is your life? If you don’t think you are, how are others going to see you as an important part of their life?

We are often taught that being selfless and giving to take care of others is the proper way to live life. Sacrifice and putting someone else first is the important actions of those who are humble and kind. Hmmm, well not if doing all that is at the expense of yourself. Too much of anything, even giving of yourself, isn’t good for you. Even if that things is kindness and sacrifice. Continue reading
