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.

Tonight On The Ænigma Project: Wicca, Witches & Witchcraft

The Ænigma Project – Mondays 9 PM EST

Just in time for Samhain, we cover topics this month that relate to the Pagan New Year and Halloween! Come spend some time with us and be part of our discussion. We love questions and comments from our chat room!

The Ænigma Project Mondays 9 PM EST
On TenacityRadio.com
Get Your Tinfoil Hat and Join Us Live!

The Ænigma Project is a discussion group focused on the realm of the supernatural, paranormal and mysterious events that sometimes take place in our lives. Through multiple view points and experiences, we seek to enlighten our listeners and elucidate that which has become hidden beneath the many layers of misunderstanding and fear.

10/08 Our Topic: Wicca, Witches & The Craft
What is Wicca?  How does it differ from Witchcraft? Do both of them practice magik, and why is it spelled with a ‘K’?  These are some of the topics we will be discussing. We will also discuss some of the other Pagan religions like Asatru, Strega and Druidry.  We will look at the similarities and differences in the religions and discuss how beliefs, structure and practice differs from coven to coven.  

You can listen online and join in the chat room to share your perspective or ask questions for the panel to contemplate and address. If you don’t want to join the chat, you can still listen live on your pc or Smartphone on TuneIn radio! I LOVE this app!

There are may ways you can listen on the go, at home, at work or in your car. Simply go to the app that allows you to stream the show and search for Tenacity Radio, then save it as a favorite.

We always have a lot of fun! And we’d love to have you with us.


If you miss the show, you can listen on the Tenacity Radio Archives for the The Ænigma Project (look for date and topic), or visit the The Ænigma Project blog for links to iTunes and more ways you can listen to past shows.

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

Four of Cups Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Sometimes you have to fan the flames of a fire to get it started. Put some attention to the flame that burns within you and get things started today. Match your inner spirit with your outer physical being to bring your desires into play and create what you need most in your life on both a spiritual and physical level. It’s not enough to think with your head, if your heart isn’t willing to follow.


Additional Insight:

You can over think things sometimes. You may mentally believe that living in the present is the important thing to do. You may practice with effort to release the past and not let it rule your life. But if you don’t incorporate those mental understandings in your heart, you can still mirror the old bad habits.

Allow your heart to find its passion again and fan the flames of desire. What do you really want? Are you being wishy-washy and keeping old dreams alive in your new world. You’ve changed and you’ve grown a lot in the past few years. Do you still want the same things you wanted backed then? Your heart thinks so, but your mind has moved on.

Take some time to examine your inner desires and bring them up to date with the new you. You may find those old dreams aren’t really significant any longer. Or they’re not really what you want today at all. Maybe they simply need a little tweaking. You’ll never know and continue holding yourself in stases if you don’t take the time to figure out….what is really your passion …Today!?

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

Two of Pentacles - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Abundance is hanging down from above, waiting to be picked. You know what needs to be done to attain it, so why aren’t you doing it? Things are not going to happen on their own. Everything worthwhile takes an effort. Stop dreaming about the things to be done, stop thinking about the things that need to be put in place. Simply start doing them, and stop putting them off!


Additional Insight:

Things are not going to happen on their own. Prayer alone won’t organize the steps needed to bring your dream into reality. At some point you’re going to actually have to do some real work to bring abundance into your life. Whither its writing a business plan, buying lumber or paint, applying to local businesses, or talking to that guy or girl you like; you must put action behind your thoughts.

Creative visualization and prayer add energy to the goals you set for yourself. But this isn’t the movies, there are no magik wands or faery wishes that will create what you want out of thin air. The magik you put behind the energy comes from physical action of putting yourself in the right place at the right time.

Believe in yourself. This message has been repeated a lot this year. Take the step and move the confidence out of your head and into hands where you can bring them into the physical world. Stop making excuses, stop putting it on the back burner, stop saying you don’t have time. Stop doing it for other people and start doing it for you! This is your time. You can do this. So get to it!

Busy, Busy, Busy

The Wolf WithinNot Enough Time In The Day/Week/Month!

I’ve been working on other projects that are taking a lot of time away from my blog here. They’re fun and exciting projects and I’m enjoying them at least. Some of them are articles for other magazines. So stay tuned, I’ll be posting news about the release of those issues as they come. Some are for December so we have a little time to wait.

There are three reflection articles I have in the works for now:

  1. Confidence and Ego – When is it ok to judge.
    In our modern world, judging others has become a ‘bad’ thing. Maybe there are times when making judgements is necessary.
  2. Teaching Your Children – Sharing the path with your kids.
    Where to start and how to safely incorporate them into your practices.
  3. Dealing With Illness And Disease – When it exists in those you live or work with.
    Living with older relatives can be trying. How can you use your spiritual perspective to make things better.

It seems this time of the year things always get more jammed packed with things to do, leaving little time for the things you plan to do. I love the fall and winter seasons. The change of leaves and the excitement of seeing the snow fall on a cold winter day are both wonderfully fun for me. Now..if I could make a schedule and have it actually work out the way I plan, there will be time enough for everything!  ..yeah right.  😉

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

Three of Swords - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Take it easy today and find something to get your mind off the stressful things on your plate. You’re working yourself into a frenzy and doing so will cause you to make mistakes and forget what’s important today. Remember you’re only one person, you can’t do it all. And by the way, you don’t have to! So stop thinking you can’t rely on anyone else, because you can!


Additional Insight:

If you don’t take care of yourself, your thoughts and actions will make you sick. You’re burning the candle at both ends because you think you have to do it all. You don’t! There are many people around who will help you out if you simply realize you’re not the only one who can do these things. Shared responsibilities can indeed be shared!

Take it easy and try to take a little nap maybe. The rest will help you get through the day and it might even help you clear your mind a bit to tackle the jobs you can’t put off until next week.

Listen to the Earth’s “Dawn Chorus”

The Sound of Earthsong

The RBSP spacecraft’s Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) instrument has beamed back a beautiful Chorus sung by our own planet.

Chorus is an electromagnetic phenomenon caused by plasma waves in Earth’s radiation belts, made up of radio waves that oscillate at acoustic frequencies. They are thought to be the waves that energize the electrons that make up the outer radiation belt.

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

Six of Wands: Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Your creative energy can manifest the strangest things, but often times they are exactly what you need at the moment. Your unique humor can cause others to laugh and help them through troubled times, but it also helps you as well. Allow your compassion and frivolity to light the darkness and help others find their way out of the shadows and from under the mushrooms.


Additional Insight:

Your spiritual beliefs and unique humor can often carry you through times of trials and help you to handle change and transition. Share that ability to assist others who do not have the same perspective. Not everyone has that inner strength and many fall into deep depression when troubles occur or a loss is experienced. It doesn’t matter if that change is the loss of a job, relationship, friend, pet or relative. The end of something tangible has equal emotional sorrow as those things that are intangible.

You can aid them in not falling too far into the depths of despair with your tempered humor and compassionate attention. Sometimes looking at the silver lining is equally as important as feeling sorrow and letting it out.

Too much of anything isn’t good for anyone. Holding sadness in can fester and cause more harm than good. Letting sadness rule your life isn’t a positive expression of emotion either. Ensuring that one expresses a balanced approach to their emotions allows one to grieve over things or people lost; and yet still maintain a sense of emotional stability.

It’s never easy losing someone or something that was important to you. But the only real constant in life is that things change. Fight that change and you’ll lose the battle and miss the chance to find love or fulfillment in the future. Accept that things change for a reason and celebrate what they brought to you in your life and you can focus on the good things in life and be open to new lessons and experiences it has to offer you.

Everyone needs a little encouragement, a little face to face confirmation to see a smile or to know someone else let’s them know “It really will be ok”.  Sometimes a person simply wants someone to listen. A face to face moment of communication, where compassion can be seen. That smile or the look of compassionate eyes can go a long way to helping them make it through yet another issue. It’s amazing how much a kind word or simple smile can lift someone out of their fear and hopelessness.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The World

The World

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Everything in the world is at your finger tips. All you need to do is reach for it. It’s not going to come to you on its own. It’s not going to be given to you in a present or package. Heal your wounds and find your inner confidence to be all you can become. Then stand up and reflect that image to the world around you. You’ll be wearing the crown of success and sharing your compassion with others before you know it.


Additional Insight:

Don’t be the wounded warrior and wallow in self pity. Even if you have to start over again, you are ahead of the game. You can apply what you’ve learned through your previous experiences and this time, rely on your own insights and choices. Don’t leave them to someone else and then give up because it didn’t turn out the way you wanted.

Show compassion for yourself, from there you can grow out of the healing and into your own crowning achievements of success. Reflect not only to the world what you are, but back to yourself as well. When you believe in you; others will too.

Remember, when you align your own inspiration with that of the Divine Creation in your life; you can achieve anything. But first you must believe and get to work. You can do it.


Everyone needs a little encouragement, a little face to face confirmation to see a smile or to know someone else let’s them know “It really will be ok”.  Sometimes a person simply wants someone to listen.
