Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Ride ’em Cowboy! When you have the knowledge and insight behind the real story, you don’t have to take on the criticism of those that have no idea what’s going on. Instead of allowing their hate and anger get into your head; be amused and play as you dodge their attempts to bait you into a fight. They’re not worth the effort to get upset over. You’re the one who has truth and knowledge on your side. Besides, they’ll be the ones who get upset by your laughing at them in response. They really hate that.

Additional Insight:

Don’t worry so much about the opinions of those who don’t know you, don’t care about the truth or seek the truth for the sake of real justice. They have an agenda and if you allow their negativity into your world, you’ll be giving them exactly what they want.

Focus instead on your true friends, family and even the fans you have out there. We all have them. No matter what our walk in life, we all have fans who cheer for us when we do well, have a heavy heart when we don’t. And maybe even cry with us when we’re sad and struggling.

Out there in the world there are people who admire the strength, determination and fortitude it takes to face challenges and overcome struggles. You might even have someone like that in your life. That person who you look up to and admire. Use their courage as inspiration for your own struggles. Think of the challenges they have faced and overcome. Then apply those same character traits you hold respect for to the path in front of you. If they can do it; so can you!

Sit back and allow the flow to move freely to where you need to be. Things you can see in front of you will be guided by your plans. No need to worry about those. Things you can can’t see behind you will flow where they need to be. You can’t manage them, so let them move as they will. You’ll find both streams will merge as one and everything will be ok.

Additional Insight:

The streams that are moving behind you and impacting your fate can’t be managed or put under your control. You can’t direct the actions of others or the consequences they bring. But you seem to continue to worry about what others are doing and how you might be able to control the result. You can’t. But that’s not a bad thing. Why do you insist on focusing on the worst case scenario (see the note below).

The flow of water’s energy can be calm and gentle, bringing relaxation and peace through its peaceful sound of movement. Or it can flow all at once with a great roar and a force that destroys the embankment you’ve so carefully crafted to direct your course.

Be careful how you try to speed up the process. Trying to force the flow to move along faster can cause turmoil that churn up the waters and destroy the paths ahead. Yes you want to hurry up and get it done. Yes, you want decisions to be made and outcomes to be announced. But pushing those actions before they are ready will destroy parts of the landscape that you’d rather maintain as is.

Don’t put yourself in a glass bubble that keeps the world out. You’re not only keeping out those you need to be at arms distance, but you’re also keeping out those you need to be close to you right now. Not everyone you know or who’s in your circle of acquaintances or friends, have your best interests in their mind. So be careful who you do let in. You may have more privacy and trust with someone you barely know, than with those who claim to be your friend. Be cautious who you share your secrets with!

Additional Insight:

Some people will listen to your story and not realize this is information not to be shared! Others may weed their way into your day in an attempt to gather information so they can be the town crier and gain the attention of others. They want to appear to be the person that’s “in the know”, the “go to person” when outsiders are trying to find out what’s really going on behind closed doors.

Of course it’s none of their business and right now, your mental state is raw and on edge. Trying to get into some manageable form of normalcy is difficult because so many people are asking questions and being nosy more than they are being a friend.  Well tough noogies for them! If you don’t trust them, don’t share anything with them. Don’t live by their rules. It’s your life.

Temper your emotions, things will work out. Success surrounds you today, bringing in bright light to shine through the darkness. The healing behind you, isn’t in the past. Rather it’s from the support and compassion others are sending your way. Those you care about, have got your back! Be patient, you’ll be able to fly again soon.

Additional Insight:

Go with the flow today and allow the source of your stress to pour out from your heart. There have been many tears shed in the past several days and there will be a few more moving forward. But don’t let the dark emotions overwhelm you today.

Those who support you will help carry you through the coming weeks. All you have to do is keep the pendulum of emotions steady and not allow it to swing too far in any direction. You’re going to be ok.

Erase the negative recordings from others that you’ve allowed in your head. They have no bearing on events and come from ignorance. No one else understands the current situation except you and those directly involved. You know that, you tell yourself that, so believe that. Stop replaying the negative recordings over and over again! Erase those comments and replace them with the many supportive words that come from love and compassion! Continue reading →

Even the head of the Clan needs healing and compassion from time to time. You can’t hide from the world when you’re the one everyone else looks up to. Your emotions and state of mind governs the atmosphere of all those within your world. It maybe hard for you, but you can allow those close to you to help out and give you comfort. You’re not alone and you’re not doing yourself any favors by suffering alone in solitude.

Additional Insight:

Whither you’re Mom, Dad, or the Boss; your energy sets the pace of your part of the world. How you feel and move through the day impacts all those close to you, but it may also extend to those you don’t even know.

When you’re the one at the top of the ladder, others are looking up to you when things go right. But even if  you know it or not, they also look up to and wonder how they can help or support you when things are going wrong. Some may simply want to give you a hug, to let you know they care.

We don’t always understand the challenges that fall on our path. Are they karmic? Are they deeds that we created through choices we made years ago? Or did we get caught up in the consequences of someone else’s actions? At no fault of our own, we can sometimes pay a high price for the mistakes that others make. And we can’t see the answers to the questions, why? Why me? Why now? Continue reading →

The Raven’s Knight appears once again to remind you that things are changing. Crow magik is still at work and manifesting your hard work. Don’t get discouraged with a little bump in the road. Things happen, you made a mistake, oh well. No need to worry and fear you’ll have to jump through hoops again. Keep calm, improvise and it will be easy to step over the log that crosses your path.

Additional Insight:

Everyone makes a mistake, you, me, everyone! The bump in the road maybe due to something you did; or something someone else did. Don’t focus on the who or what. Focus on the fix and you won’t even know it happened. Everything will be ok. Relax.

You’ll end the day with a smile on your face and with the satisfaction of a job well done. You might even have time to do a little relaxation this weekend and get some much deserved and much-needed down time. But don’t start that time off until you get your project completed today.

Keep positive, keep focused and don’t be afraid to ask for help. There’s plenty of people who are in your corner and willing to give you some assistance. You’ve helped them and they know you’re struggling. Besides you’re sort of like family to them, so let them help you out. Continue reading →

You may feel upside down and out of energy, but abundance is gathering in the branches over head. Things are coming down in pieces and right now you’ll be able to catch what comes your way. But watch out, it’s only the beginning of harvest season and you’re going to need some bigger baskets. Hang in there. Keep your nose to the grind stone. All your hard work is paying off!

Additional Insight:

You’ve managed to turn things around. Some issues have changed more quickly than others. But don’t let the slow progression of some items on your list get you upset. There are a lot of people involved in execution of your plan. The Divine in your life is working magik on everyone, good, bad or indifferent, to manifest your visions.

There are karmic issues being worked through, not only for or about you, but with others who have crossed your path along the way. If someone has done you wrong, know that you don’t need to do anything for revenge. In fact doing so might set you back or even destroy all the progress you’ve made.  Let the negative thoughts and energies go or they’ll act like an anchor weighing you down.

You must stop giving the trespassers more ammunition to continue the fight and war against you. Don’t step onto the battlefield and they can’t push you further. The Universe is taking care of these conflicts. Your adversary’s hate and anger will come back to haunt them, more than you may ever realize. It’s already started anyway. Even if you don’t know what’s going on. The Divine has been taking care of them and can provide a much bigger smack down than you ever could.

It’s not brute strength or brawn that wins the battles in life. It’s the calm thoughtful planning that overcomes challenges. Search for the answers you seek within and through good solid academic research. Avoid the fear-mongers, the nay-sayers and those who spin information to manipulate and control the message. Stick to the facts today and use your own good judgement to discover what’s accurate and what’s not.

Additional Insight:

Someone is trying to control the message and use misinformation to control your actions and responses. Make sure you do your research and discover all the facts of the topic before you react. It could be the key to winning a long standing battle or struggle.

Controlling the message is the first step to making a position popular and winning battle. But that doesn’t mean the message is right, factual or truthful. In today’s world everyone is spinning the message to say what they want it to say to control your opinion, emotions and actions. Don’t let them impose their ignorant half-true message of hate and fear upon you. Take responsibility for your thoughts and learn the truth before you choose sides in any debate.

Blind devotion of any kind is a dangerous thing. It gives away your free will and choice to those who want to control your thoughts and lead you down their path of grandeur. When their misinformation begins to fail, you won’t be able to point to them and say it’s their fault. You made the choice in the beginning to give them control over you, therefore it will be you who suffers the consequences of that blind devotion. Continue reading →

Be cautious and careful with who you trust and who you share information with. Someone around you is not what they appear to be. Being to trusting could get you hurt, even if its only an acquaintance you just met. Keep your private business private so you don’t provide any ammunition for them to twist around and use against you. You’ll be able to ride the tide, instead of being sucked into its undertow.

Additional Insight:

Someone new in your life has ulterior motives for engaging you. Their target may not be you, but rather someone you’re close to. Don’t allow them to make you a pawn in their game. Don’t let them trick you into sharing to much of yourself or someone you care about for the rest of the month.

Pay attention to your security settings online. Don’t share pictures that include you or show your activities outside of work in the public forum. Don’t give out your personal social media pages with people you’ve only just met. Even something as simple as a day at the beach could provide information to a stalker, a burglar or someone who’s looking for damaging information that could harm your position or someone close to you.

Have compassion and love for yourself. No one is perfect and never will be. You don’t need to be so critical of every little thing you think, say or do. So stop being so hard on yourself and use the compassion you have for others; on you. What you think, you create. Time to start creating the world of your dreams.

Additional Insight:

All humans are imperfect creatures. We all have some nuance of imperfection in our lives. Whither it be how we think (the mind); how we look (the body); and even how we act (the spirit), we all have something we don’t like or don’t care much for about ourselves. If we were perfect, we wouldn’t be in this incarnated state of existence, learning lessons, paying and redeeming karma, and experiencing a physical life. So you might as well accept, you’re not perfect and neither is anyone else.

You maybe great at accepting others for who and what they are. Overlooking their imperfections and giving them compassion and comfort. Why can’t you do that to the one person in your life that matters most? You! There are many phases of healing, denial, anger, guilt, acceptance, forgiveness, letting go.

When you accept yourself for who you are, you allow yourself to heal from old wounds and hurts. Forgiveness isn’t about forgiving those who may have caused you harm. It’s about forgiving yourself for holding onto harmful thoughts and releasing the anger that goes with them. When you stop looking back at what happened or what could have been, you allow the Divine in your life, to shine through you and you open the world of possibilities into your life. Continue reading →
