IV The Emperor

I had an enjoyable day yesterday.  I spent the day mostly relaxing and reading.  However, I did get a couple of loads of laundry done, made breakfast fruit squares for my partner and I assembled a few crafting items together that I purchased long ago but have never used.  I will try my hand at selling them on Craigslist.

As I was reading all things pagan, wiccan, and witchy I thought to myself that I’m all three of these if I must wear a label and in fact I dislike being labeled in such a way because it is so limiting and constricting of my much larger identity as is for any of us.  We are all multifaceted and unique individuals such that specific labels cannot really capture who we are and fact should only be used in a very general sense so we are not bound to the perceptions such labels evoke in others.  For instance, in addition to being pagan, wiccan, and a witch, I’m also a craft's person, RVer, amateur ventriloquist, model railroad enthusiast, and (blog) writer.
Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “IV The Emperor: Sometimes one must be a benevolent despot.  Organization.  Taking charge.  An authority figure.  Utilizing discipline to provide a structure for creativity.”  As I started to go through my crafting tools and supplies yesterday to sort through them I felt a great sense of relief as I added many items to a pile of things I intend to sell and get rid of.  I have much more to go through I’m sure and this heavy anchor I’ve been lugging around for many years has finally disappeared.  De-cluttering and organizing sure has a way to lift weight off of one’s shoulders and lighten the mood and improve the energy of a place and/or space. 

I owe my efforts to reading the archived posts of a new blog I discovered over the weekend, “Wiccan Writes”.  Thank you Robin Larkspur for your encouraging words and calm and gentle spirit.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
