The 'Queen of Wands' and Taking Charge Today

Saturday, August 22nd, 2015.  We had a very quiet and uneventful evening at home.  We watched the news as well as a political show then the television was turned off and we simply wiled away the evening doing pretty much a whole lot of nothing.  Just a nice ordinary evening providing us with all the contentment we need.

I slept well and awoke early but I wanted to awake early so all is good.  I focused my energies after relaxing with a cup of coffee or two and shuffled the Tarot for several minutes in a complete state of relaxation and stillness before revealing today's visiting Tarot, the "Queen of Wands: Believe in yourself—don’t be afraid to take the lead.  Dealings with authority figures go well.  Answers arrive when you talk things out with friends and lovers.  Write letters, make calls, send faxes, send emails.  Punctuality really counts.  When reversed: Bet only what you can afford to lose; don’t take silly risks.  Guard against unrealistic thinking.  Dare to dream, but keep both feet firmly on the ground."

So many distractions today.  We're trying to get ourselves organized for our trip tomorrow morning.  We've pretty much packed and then we need to get ready for today's other activities.  We have a movie to watch and we're meeting friends at the food truck festival taking place here in New Westminster this afternoon and evening.

We have to be at the airport at about 4:00am so I'm not anticipating getting much sleep but maybe I will since I was out of bed before 5:30am.

I'm going to sign off here as the "Queen of Wands" is quite self-explanatory so I'll leave her inspire you in her own way today.

Thanks for dropping by.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 'III of Cups', Flexibility and Adaptability

Friday, August 21st, 2015.  I had a decent night last night my website is back up and running...this really helped to relax consciously and subconsciously and what a difference it made.  Not that it truly bothered me however it weighed on me in a manner that I noticed but was not focusing on.

I spent the night fine-tuning the materials I will take with me on vacation.  My aim is to really focus on improving my connection with Spirit and the manner in which I work with Tarot and my spiritual good deeds.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "III of Cups: People around you are seeking acknowledgement in the form of positive strokes or physical affection.  Flexibility and adaptability will bring luck.  Family problems soon mellow.  When reversed: Don’t let disappointments get in the way of your happiness.  Beware of overindulgence and depression.  Jealousy clouds reason."

My co-workers were definitely in need of compliments and encouragement and they all took it to heart acknowledging my input with big beaming smiles.  My flexible ways and knack at being adaptable always make for a fairly easygoing day.  Reminders that the job will be a god cushion and back-up for me as I continue transitioning to a spiritual career...to really being Wizard Oron.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'XI Strength' and Seeing the Bigger Picture

Thursday, August 20, 2015. Let's see what to write about this day? I'm seemingly at a loss for words and maybe this a good thing...

We had a quiet evening at home, not doing much of anything. Oh...I was trying to get out GPS unit up and running but had no success. I don't like the fact that it can only be charged in the car and where this only a viable option when the car is moving...what's with that? So although it works when it's plugged into the 12 volt DC of the car we can't update the maps so we'll be using it the best we can on our trip next week.
Then the evening was pretty much wrapped up with that an off to bed I went.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "XI Strength. Love conquers all. Avoid pettiness and prejudice. Try to be a peacemaker. Weigh all sides of every situation. Don’t be so set in your ways that you miss the big picture by focusing on details. Stubbornness is your challenge of the moment. When reversed: Everyone expects the best from you and vice-versa. Arguments with your lover or close associates are likely now. Don’t give in to intimidation or pressure, and never go to bed angry. Are you seeing things realistically? Wait one more day to take action."

"Don’t be so set in your ways that you miss the big picture by focusing on details" and "stubbornness is your challenge of the moment." I'm trying to focus too much on the details that I'm failing to see the larger picture. I need to focus on my overall goal for the moment instead of the nitty gritty details of it. This way I accomplish more as Spirit knows exactly where to direct that cosmic energy that comes our way when we have a singular focus to work on rather than the many intricate details that can mire our efforts and slow us down if not completely stunt our efforts. I know where I am, where I'm going and where Spirit is taking me.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 'Ace of Cups' and Finding True and Everlasting Happiness

Wednesday, August 19th, 2015.  Another day arrived after a relaxing evening and a good night's rest.  No worries filled my mind and nothing else kept me awake even though I awoke slightly several times and even though I clicked on something that made my website disappear...no worries, no stress...just simple relaxation and contentment.  Spirit is Good.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Ace of Cups: Happiness arrives soon, but it make take some effort on your part to bring it to fruition.  Those around you are more emotional than usual.  Don’t rely on them to be the voice of reason.  Postpone debates.  Examine home and family issues.  This is a good time to consider relocating.  When reversed: Accept assistance from others.  Don’t be too full of yourself.  Act with determination.  Know when to say no."

We are solely responsible to make our lives happy one so when I read this, "happiness arrives soon, but it make take some effort on your part to bring it to fruition", I know I need to do more to bring about a happy lifestyle for myself, as we all should.  We must also "act with determination" and "know when to say no" if we are to make some of ourselves.  There is a reason that these statements are combined and that is because making something of ourselves by accepting and taking responsibility for our lives will fill us with true and lasting happiness more than if we continually strive to find it outside of ourselves.  It's your life take control of it and find the happiness you seek...within.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 'Ace of Swords' and Following My Pioneering Spirit

Tuesday, August 18, 2015.  I slept rather well but had a couple of quick trips to the bathroom...too much water and drink over the course of the evening I suppose.  I had active dreams some involving family and others where I didn't recognize anyone.  Oh, in one dream I was discussing Tarot with someone and I was dressed my "spiritual" outfit that I have sitting on the backburner...cool!

Then the alarm sang to us but I rolled over and almost fell asleep...I caught myself but feel that this is a good sign that I can sleep in past 6:00am on the weekends.  Breakfast was pleasant and working with Tarot a bit too rushed for my liking however still meaningful and insightful.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Ace of Swords: Your spirit is strong and pioneering.  Don’t let your ego get in the way.  This is a good time to push ahead with ideas, contract negotiations, and other legal matters.  Goals you can meet quickly are better than long-range ones.  When reversed: Things are out of balance.  Practice patience and perseverance.  This is the time for some solo work.  In your dealings with others, don’t distort the facts."

For me the two phrases that stand out for me are: "Your spirit is strong and pioneering" and "Goals you can meet quickly are better than long-range ones."  I need to keep spirit front and centre and set incremental goals that move me forward squarely in the direction I need to go for sure and for certain.  A card of re-enforcement for what I'm doing, where I'm going and where I want to go...moving humbly forward thanks to the wonderful and loving presence and guidance of Spirit.

I'm working on the road to bring about positive change to this sometimes weary world.  Some people are in need of hope, inspiration, and optimism and this is where I want to help.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'IX The Hermit' and Seeking Your Guide...and That'd Be YOU!

Monday, August 17th, 2015.  Sunday was another simple and relaxing day for us.  Sure we had our weekly grocery run to make and had plans to go for a short bike ride bit the day was beautifully and simply ordinary and mundane.  The bike ride never happened but we got out for an afternoon coffee and short stroll and long the river.

I relaxed, studied, learned, grew and evolved as I continued to build my wonderful study guide.  This is all a result of my inner guide and the strengthening connection I'm building with the cosmos and infinite energy and spark of life that created and connects us all.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "IX The Hermit.  Break an unnecessary habit.  Take steps to eliminate unhealthy ruts and routines.  Have some of your “friends” been driving you crazy?  Now is a good time to get them out of your life.  Don’t let yourself get stuck in the expectations of others.  When reversed: Spend time with someone you love; take care of unfinished business.  Don’t let your responsibilities weigh you down and stay away from anything that goes against your grain."

"IX The Hermit" brings about thoughts of introspection, searching, guidance, and solitude.  It's a time of going it alone and turning off the voices of others and greater society so we can delve into our own thoughts, ideas, opinions and identities.  The guidance we seek best comes from within, let's learn to seek out and trust the information we glean from meditation and dreams, from taking a walk in nature, as we listen to the crashing waves, or listen to the heartbeat and voice of the earth.  Today is about listening with our eyes closed and not listening with our ears but instead our hearts and souls, listen with your spirit and discover a whole new world and whole new way of being.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 'IX of Cups' and Wishes Coming True?

Sunday, August, 16th, 2015.  Yesterday was a calm and easygoing kind of day.  We both just allowed the day to unfold and go about the activities that grabbed our attention.  We didn't venture out of the condo until about 4:00pm and that was only a brief outing as we quickly checked out the 'New West Pride Columbia Street Party'.  We saw a few interesting things and very many colourful and happy people.  The festival was alive and had its own great energy swirling about it.  We grabbed a scoop of Gelato from the 'Tre Galli' booth before continuing our stroll along the next couple of blocks.  We ran into a couple of acquaintances along the way and then made our way back home vowing to venture out again closer to 7:00pm so we could catch Bif Naked's live performance on the street.

Upon our return home I continued putting together my study materials for learning the Tarot, Crystal Energy and Developing my Psychic Powers.  I've come up with a nice study booklet to put to use.  I'll be able to make good use of it during our travel to and stay in Florida in about a week's time.  Although, I've already discovered some additionally material that I will include in my study guide.

Bif Naked's performance started off on the rocky side as the sound crew didn't appreciate that the audience was straining to hear her talk and sing.  It took them ten or fifteen minutes to get the volume to a level where we could hear anything then the crowd settled in and bathed in her songs and banter in between each one.  She was on stage for about an hour and wowed the audience with her performance and appreciated for and dedication to celebrating Pride in New Westminster.  Thanks Bif!

We had sirloin steak burgers and Red, White, and Blue Potato Salad for dinner, a later dinner as it was approaching nine o'clock but boy was dinner ever good,  Then we showered and relaxed a short time for diving into bed.

Spirit Is and today's Tarot, courtesy of Tarot, or what I refer to as my 'Whimsical' deck is the "IX of Cups. People are generous to those in need.  Enjoy the kindness of strangers.  Stay away from shop-talk and try not to worry about finances.  When reversed: Postpone decision-making.  Weigh your options.  No one minces words now.  Beware of arrogance—try to be easy going."

Wishes fulfilled but are we all certain that we really want or need or truly desire what we're wishing for and will be responsible enough to handle it?  Or are we finding roadblocks to having our wishes fulfilled?  Perhaps, it's time for us to take our focus off of ourselves and place upon others.  Maybe we are overindulging in ourselves at the expense of others.  If we feel stuck in a rut or are finding our forward momentum waning maybe we need to take a step back and refocus our attention on other things that are important to us such as our relationships with family, friends, and loved ones or even co-workers and employers.

The "IX of Cups" today is about wish fulfillment and all it takes to happen is a little attitude adjustment our part and appreciation of and of those around us that love and support us unconditionally in all that we do and strive for.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'17 The Pole Star' and the 'Ten of Bows, Responsibility'

Saturday, August, 15th, 2015.  Thank you for allowing me to be who I am, Wizard Oron.  I give thanks for the knowledge, wisdom, insight, understanding, compassion, humility, forgiveness, love, and peace that fills my heart and soul and reaches into the very depths of my being.

Last night I made a quick trip home so we could head into downtown Vancouver to catch a movie being shown in 2015 line-up of movies being presented by the VQFF, 'Cuatro Lunas' (Four Moons).   We both enjoyed the movie however after it finished we were famished and in need of food.  Unfortunately, our first choice was busy and closed within the hour and every other restaurant nearby was also crowded, closing early and or out of food so we made the trek into Gastown and found a seat at 'La Casita' and they were open until 2:00am. Not that we would stay so late.

Dinner was great but the portions were huge so I came home with about a quarter of my meal.  We made the trek to the 'Waterfront Station' for the quick transit ride home and got into bed around 11:30pm.

Yesterday's visiting Tarot is "17 The Pole Star: The power of universal lore is at work here, either within the individual or permeating a web of circumstance that will bring profound change a new spiritual hope.  The Pole Star of prophetic guidance and inspirational knowledge has risen and will guide you on your forthcoming journey through the forest.  If you hold this ancient and basic truth near the core of your being and navigate by it you cannot go far wrong; it is there as a talisman as well as a symbol of the universal cycle of nature.  Whenever you are feeling lost in the dark labyrinth of life, remember that the same laws and primal matter that bind the Pole Star and fuel its giant heart also formed you."

Ideas, turned into thoughts that then became decisions however the question now is whether or not I'll follow through on the decisions I think I've made.  There is an energy of regeneration and renewal in the air and I accept the forces of both that are permeating my life these days.

As I contemplated the decision or decisions I think I made first on the trip downtown, yesterday, then as we watched the movie, again on the ride home, as I slept and now here this morning, it brought about today's visiting Tarot the "Ten of Bows, Responsibility: Whether you volunteered for the task or it is thrust upon you by unforeseen circumstances, it is a time to accept responsibility.  Do so with good humour and stoical resolve and welcome any daunting challenge with humility and enthusiasm.  Although the timing may be unfortunate or inconvenient, the issues of dealing with responsibility are often a matter of simple self-confidence.  The learning curve may be steep and appear insurmountable, but once the task is fully understood and effort is expended, many valuable life-lessons can be learned.  The effect of taking responsibility in your family or close tribal group can also have far-reaching effects beyond your personal sphere.  By leading from the front and taking responsibility for any past failures or inappropriate actions, you disarm and neutralize self-doubt or feelings of inadequacy.  It is an honour and a sign of respect that your peers trust you to complete this task and handle the responsibility, knowing you will fully commit to this quest until completion.  This understanding should support and enhance both your sense of self-worth and self-respect."

As part of my thoughts and decisions further study of Tarot came to mind and I see this card related to just that my study of Tarot and further delving into the world of Spirit.  This coupled with my desire or almost decision to live in my camper van and do some urban camping or boondocking, if you will requires much effort on my part, but an effort that is made all the more worthwhile because of the effects it will have on me and more importantly the greater tribe that I am, that we are very much a part of.

Living in my van means going it alone and having to fend for myself for the most part.  It all depends on how much support I get for having such a crazy idea when I already have home to live in and a partner to share my life with.

Additionally, I'm putting more effort into my blogs and creating revenue with them so that I can more quickly and efficiently transition from the job into my career, more so lifestyle of Wizard Oron and all that this entails.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 'Knight of Arrows, Hawk' and the 'Seven of Bows, Clearance'

Thursday, March 13th, 2015.  We hit the beach last night to catch the sunset and although the temperatures are warm during the height of the day they cool off rather quickly as the sun begins setting and getting closer to the horizon.  It was a nice time of soaking up the sounds of the crashing waves against the sand as well as hearing the earth breathe as I closed my eyes and listened with my soul and spirit.  We ate a nice peanut butter and jam sandwich while enjoying the beach and then hit McDonalds for a quick meal, a nice healthy salad with grilled chicken.

Yesterday's visiting Tarot is the "Knight of Arrows, Hawk: A quicksilver messenger of fate, the Hawk can help and support you to see through layers of doubt and uncertainty to the problem at the heart of the matter.  Be swift and subtle and use your common sense to progress.  Heroism, Disputation, Subtlety, Clear-sightedness, Impetuosity, Anger, Holding a grudge, Valour."

And this card evoke feelings of action, of doing, of getting on with being who I am instead of pretending to be someone I'm not.

Sleep last night was quite decent and I awoke surprised as I was not expecting to hear the alarm when it sounded.  I felt as if I had another hour or two of sleep.  Alas, it was the alarm and time to get out of bed.

Today's visiting Tarot is the "Seven of Bows, Clearance: All things must change and evolve, and however well prepared or carefully constructed your tools and skills, challenges and obstacles may require rethinking and relearning.  Bows wear out and eventually fracture under constant use, stress and tension.  Arrows warp through damp and strenuous flexing and lose their strength and accuracy.  Change is a natural part of the process of renewal although it can be painful (pain brings change and change brings pain), it must be seen as a positive turn of the Wheel and necessary for new life to begin.  Welcoming the clearing of the old and worn and preparing the ground for new growth is vital.  New shoots and spring saplings will be starved of light and nutrients in the soil if the ground is not cleared.  Old boughs and stumps should be removed to ease the process of saying goodbye to a tool or concept that has outlived its practical life.  By allowing the passing of the old and clearing of the ground to take place with an element of welcoming and acceptance of change, the feelings of relief and poignancy may aid the healing process, giving comfort."

I welcome and accept change as I learn new skills, develop new talents, trust my intuition more and move further along on the spiritual path that is closer and truer to my nature.  Yes, change can be frightening and painful however if we take a step back and look at the larger picture we gain a better understanding of why this change is necessary and why it's taking place now.

Let us embrace change so we can move on, breathe easier and focus on the important things in life.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 'Ace of Arrows - The Breath of Life' and Divine Energy in Our Lives

Tuesday August 11th, 2015.  I had a relaxing evening after a hectic day yesterday but then a sleepless night soon followed.  As much as I thought I held relieved the stress of the work day, it came back to haunt me and I actually had to get up and write a 'To Do List' of things I had to do today.  Sleep was hard to come by and it was no until I fell into my Wizard Oron mantra that sleep came upon me, unfortunately, it was only for about an hour.

I was close to falling back to sleep after turning off the alarm but thankfully caught myself drifting off...

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Ace of Arrows, The Breath of Life: By breathing life into a thought and pursuing it to its material creation in the real world, we engage in an ancient and unique relationship with the universe and the divine.  Our minds are linked to a greater consciousness, its power and effectiveness waiting only for the question.  As the first formation of an idea or concept crystallizes in your mind, the primal creative energy connects you to the Breath of Life.  This energy can be summoned and applied to achieve your conscious desire.  Clarity of purpose is the key.  Sometimes an unconscious impulse or drive makes you aware of a hidden issue or need.  Such issues may appear in dreams, often signalling their presence in this way because of a lack of confidence in our own processes and abilities.  Our unique connection with the universe ensures that those issues are brought into our everyday awareness."

I've taken my thoughts and ideas and developed them into blogs, a way of life, a state of being and a goal of the future that starts here now in the present.  and as the "Ace of Arrows, The Breath of Life" states, "Our minds are linked to a greater consciousness, its power and effectiveness waiting only for the question"...and "This energy can be summoned and applied to achieve your conscious desire.  Clarity of purpose is the key."

I ask for help and guidance and know that I receive what I ask, for this is our relationship with this wondrous divine force and energy in, around, and throughout our lives, hearts, minds, bodies, and souls.

My goal is simple and that is to enrich my life through enriching the lives of others and I choose to do this as Wizard Oron, working on the road as I travel up and down and all around this beautiful content we get to call home.

Now that I think about it, I realize that the greater consciousness breathed new life into my idea of living life on the road just before I fell asleep.  Instead of allowing my thoughts to revolve around the job I focused them on me, on Wizard Oron and how I give intuitive Tarot readings while travelling throughout Canada and the US.  Awesome, just awesome!

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 'King of Vessels - Heron' and Being Mature and Level Headed

Monday, August 10th, 2015.  We had an easy Sunday not doing all that much other than our weekly grocery run and meeting with a couple of friends in the afternoon.  Dinner was quick and easy and the evening serene and soothing.  Reading a few passages from 'Science of Mind Guide For Spiritual Living' is always a great way to end the evening before slipping under the covers for a good night's sleep.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "King of Vessels, Heron: A deep belief in fairness, honesty, and honour colours everything you do.  The profound depths of your character, once stirred into action, carry all before it.  However, your admiration of self-control can sometimes make you appear too rigid.  Artistic ability, Honesty and integrity, Purposeful equality, Responsibility, Consideration of others, Affection, Support and companionship."

The day is about being calm, level headed, easygoing, focused and thoughtful.  It's about not letting yourself get raddled by the events of the day, to have a knack for taking a step back, compose yourself and deal with the situation at hand.  When one does this one can then approach the situation with a clear mind and find good solutions to calm the situation and turn it around and into the direction it's supposed to go.

Clench your mouth, don't say it, don't say anything, excuse yourself, back away, take a deep breath, ground and center yourself, be still for a moment and then carry on.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 'Ten of Bows, Responsibility' and Building a Future

Sunday, August 9th, 2015.  I had a relaxing day cleaning and organizing my model railroad space in the afternoon after a quick visit to 'Serenity' our new to us Class B RV, a 2005 Pleasure Way TS Excel Van.  I really enjoyed cleaning up and making my model railroad space look better and taking a few photos inside and of the exterior of the van as well as spending a few minutes lounging on the rear sofa of the van was quite inspiring.

Oh, I created a small spiritual nook in Serenity before I headed back home:

As inspiring as being in the van was I know I have some hard work ahead of me as responsibilities must be fulfilled and I need to grow into fully being Wizard Oron before jumping in the van and taking off for parts unknown.  As part of this I marked on the calendar things I'd like to get done during the evening hours and last week I did accomplish any of them so I have to get myself moving on better time management and start doing these things so I can move forward at a quicker pace.  One of these being to sit in silence or meditation.  Getting myself into this practice will really help things fall into place, most certainly.  Another area of practice I need to get back into is ventriloquism.  Practice, practice, practice...

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "Ten of Bows, Responsibility: Whether you volunteered for the task or it is thrust upon you by unforeseen circumstances, it is a time to accept responsibility.  Do so with good humour and stoical resolve and welcome any daunting challenge with humility and enthusiasm.  Although the timing may be unfortunate or inconvenient, the issues of dealing with responsibility are often a matter of simple self-confidence.  The learning curve may be steep and appear insurmountable, but once the task is fully understood and effort is expended, many valuable life-lessons can be learned.  The effect of taking responsibility in your family or close tribal group can also have far-reaching effects beyond your personal sphere.  By leading from the front and taking responsibility for any past failures or inappropriate actions, you disarm and neutralize self-doubt or feelings of inadequacy.  It is an honour and a sign of respect that your peers trust you to complete this task and handle the responsibility, knowing you will fully commit to this quest until completion.  This understanding should support and enhance both your sense of self-worth and self-respect."

The "Ten of Bows" sounds like it is alluding to the work week ahead where I'm the acting 'commander-in-chief' so-to-speak as the owners are away for a quick one week vacation and all of their responsibilities fall onto me along with the responsibilities I already have.

The "Ten of Bows" is also a reminder to me that as I push and in my desire to transition from simply having a 'job' to a career of self-employment in the area of spirit, ventriloquism and blogging I have to learn the ropes of good sound financial management as well as responsibility and accountability and balancing all of this with living life on the road.

On top of all of this in the process I will become more confident and eliminate any lingering feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy that get the better of me from time to time.  So let's all take a deep breath and get on with fulfilling our obligations and move through them as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'2 The Seer' and Bringing Pleasure and Knowledge to Others

Saturday, August 8, 2015.  A nice quiet Friday evening of relaxation, indirect study and learning, and going to bed early led to awaking early and more study, learning and knowledge and wisdom gained.

Last evening it was "Only when we put our very best in into our spiritual work will it satisfy us."  The Science of Mind, page 414 as quoted out of the 'Science of Mind Guide for Spiritual Learning, July 2015, Volume 88, Number 6.

This morning it came from sitting, sitting only a few minutes in complete silence and stillness and the visiting Tarot, "2 The Seer: The time has come to focus your power and let it flow through you.  Many dreams or desires related to the creative emotional process are ready to be applied in your day-to-day life and you must give vent to those hidden or suppressed longings.  This may also relate to healing, sexual relationships or partnerships.  Now the manifestation of inner spiritual or esoteric insights into your practical and physical daily life will bring profound rewards and results.  It is a sign of maturity.  The Seer also relates to creative impulses such as art, mechanical skills and crafts, and the joy of bringing pleasure and knowledge to others."

Indeed, "the time has come to focus your power and let it flow through you"...so that..."the manifestation of inner spiritual or esoteric insights into your practical and physical daily life will bring profound rewards and results...the joy of bringing pleasure and knowledge to others."

Meditation, silence, stillness...enriches our lives by opening and clearing our minds bringing us clarity of thought, imagination, and manifestation of our desires, dreams, goals...allow yourself to connect with the consciousness of the universe and the grounding energy of the earth and allow it to flow through you thus bringing more love, light, and peace to our world.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'18 The Moon on Water' and Being Within the Consciousness of the Universe

Friday, August 7th, 2015.  Another week at the job is behind me.  The job is not all that difficult and is in many ways quite enjoyable however I have another path I must follow.  Although, I cannot remember very clearly a couple of dreams I had last alluded to that path as does today's visiting Tarot, "18 The Moon on Water heralds a time of inner transformation, initiation, or awareness.  This may take the form of a seemingly random situation based on the emotional or spiritual spheres, but your inner voice may have been whispering for some time and gone unheeded.  Now your soul brings into your physical world the symbolic keys to the collective human subconscious.  This may take the form of a desire to investigate or study a doctrine, philosophy or esoteric pursuit, or the wish to explore the untapped sexual energy and experience a tighter spiritual bond with a partner through honesty and the expression of your hidden desires.  From here, you can begin to wrestle with the concept that consciousness is not within you, but that you are within the consciousness of the universe."

What strikes me the most is that "...your soul brings into your physical world the symbolic keys to the collective human subconscious...This may take the form of a desire to investigate or study a doctrine, philosophy or esoteric pursuit...From here, you can begin to wrestle with the concept that consciousness is not within you, but that you are within the consciousness of the universe."

As I read the first part of the quoted text what came immediately to my mind was the study of mediumship, developing intuition. and learning better empathic communication.  Much of this study strengthened with the practice of meditation.  Oh, and to further my practice of ventriloquism...

...and then I simply ask where is the 'Moon on Water' leading you?  Don't take time to think about it.  What immediately came to mind?

Another thing is knowing that we're "within the consciousness of the universe" is also knowing that we are then a part of the universe and have at our fingertips all of the universal knowledge and wisdom that we can and likely cannot even imagine...an infinite wisdom that goes beyond human comprehension.  Thus our need to acknowledge and accept that we are indeed "within the consciousness of the universe".  And what a wonderful knowledge this is.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'King of Bows, Adder' and Goals Realized

Thursday, August 6th, 2015.  I had another good night's sleep and although I awoke around I still fell back soundly to sleep until the alarm sounded at 6:00am.  It's a very natural sounding alarm though, waves, water, and a bit of soothing music and very nice to wake up to.
Then it's off to the job, not a bad job mind you and I did get another raise and it's not really all that bad just not a long term fit for me.  I need to transition into a more fulltime spiritual and fulfilling role in life.  That's all!

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "King of Bows, Adder: Maturity, strength of resolve, energy and wisdom.  The genius and individuality of the seeker is enhanced and rewarded at every turn.  Your leadership is unchallenged, your path direct, your goals realized.  Seriousness, Honesty, Good intentions, Integrity, A married man, A good father, Education and wisdom."

I'm responsible and accountable for my life and I'm actively participating in and directing where I want my life to go.  I'm patient and know that my dreams, goals, desires, and passions are realized.  I sense it, feel it and am living it, the life of my dreams.

I'm serious about hitting the road as Wizard Oron, the travelling wizard, a spiritual nomad traversing roads, highways, and bi-ways of North America, to assist the spiritual revolution that is unfolding in our midst and inspiring people like YOU to BE more than you believe you can be.
Open yourself up to life and to actually living it!

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'11 The Woodward' and Quiet Resolute Strength

Wednesday, August 5th, 2015.  My sore throat remains, I've developed a bit of a cough and I've got the sniffles.  I slept well as I'm drinking some 'Organic Cold 911' Tea from David's Tea and taking an over the counter cold and sinus medication.

The frustrating thing about colds like this is that one get's a false sense of feeling good and recovery as I felt this morning.  I looked forward to going to the gym after work but not feeling so great this afternoon.  As was yesterday around 2:30 - 3:00pm I started feeling crappy the same time today.  Maybe it's just because I've had two very busy days and drained all of my energy.  Recovery is setting in though, I can feel it.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "11 The Woodward: Through adversity or the process of rebalancing in life, we find courage within ourselves that flows from an unknown source.  Sometimes that courage has to do with facing unavoidable truth or dealing with a person or problem that no amount of physical confrontation or emotional bravery will resolve.  The Woodward's strength, drawn from nature's inherent power to renew and overcome, is needed if we are to foresee what is to come and wait upon the turning of the seasons. Sometimes, when faced with a challenging situation, we must find our own inner backstop, the point from which we will not retreat or from which we can move forward with quiet confidence.  The Wildwood ethos has to teach humanity about calm, resolute strength."

For me this card today is all about "rebalancing in life".  This is only possible for many of us because we discovered nature's calm, resolute strength and how to tie into it and bring it into and use in our own lives.  It pays to be still, quiet and open to the voice, sway, energy and spirit of nature.  Challenges seem to become less intense and more manageable difficult still but not so overwhelming as it may have been before.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'The Green Man' and Being One with Nature

Tuesday, August 4th, 2015.  We had a nice relaxing time at the beach yesterday although, I felt cold any time we left the beach and walked into the distant water.  The tide was going out, the water was clear and cold.  I even got the shivers at one point.  But I do love Wreck Beach and best of all it was free of loud obnoxious music.  One was talking a little loud and non-stop to his friends but being this is the beach it was easy to tune him out more often than not.

We stayed at the beach for many hours and by the time we got to leaving we decided that it was a night to eat out.  We chose one of our usual post beach eateries, White Spot.  Unfortunately, the air conditioning was blasting and we felt very cold by the time we finished dinner which was as good as always.

We relaxed for the rest of the evening where I again was communing with Spirit and Tarot, working on my blogs and creating a plan to retire into becoming a fulltime blogger and spiritual nomad.  I also created a "Camping Checklist", things we need to bring with us if we plan to head out in Serenity.

I tossed and turned a lot last night, sleeping more off than on and when I hopped out of bed this morning my sinuses were hurting big time and I felt a cold coming on.  On the drive to the job this morning I developed a sore throat and the as the afternoon came along my sore throat was almost unbearable and I now have a slight cough.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot stayed with us, "4 The Green Man: The Green Man is generous in his bestowal of creative, fertile energy and he will move you to a new level of confident and assertive dynamism.  This is a time for both giving and receiving the natural flow of life both inwardly and outwardly.  Be prepared to find a new and thriving drive to begin projects, relationships and even new ways of living your life and fulfilling your world.  Now is the time to experience being at the apex of the cycle of life.  Enjoy it!"

It's time to accept and receive the bestowal of "creative, fertile energy" so we can find loving positive ways to show our "new level of confident and assertive dynamism".  Not only do we have it in us to do great and wonderful things in our lives we are also being given a boost, a spiritual and energetic boost like no other.  The best way to harness this energy is find a nice harmonious, respectful and vibrational balance with nature.  As I contemplate what I'm writing I'm reminded of the book 'The Celestine Prophecy' by James Redfield (I highly recommend 'The Celestine Prophecy as well as 'The Tenth Insight').  We need to vibrate in tune with nature and become fully absorbed in the knowledge and wisdom of nature especially the fact that we are very much a part of nature and all that we do to nature will come back to haunt us more so when we least expect it!

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'4 The Green Man' and Seizing The Moment

Monday, August 3rd, 2015.  Happy BC Day!  Today is a statutory holiday here in British Columbia, a day off so we can celebrate the creation, building, and history of this beautiful province.

We'll celebrate this day by hitting the beach!

Yesterday, we made our way into downtown Vancouver to take part in the Pride Parade and related festivities.  The parade is observed by hundreds of thousands of people, it's incredible just how many people can actually move through the streets of Vancouver and then into the small space of Sunset Beach.  We watched a majority of the parade while sitting on the sidewalk along Robson Street then we meandered our way to Sunset Beach before wondering on into Gastown to find a bite to eat.  We made a return visit to Tacofino...love their food.

We made it back home late afternoon, early evening and relaxed.  I played around with my blogs and read a little from Natalie Goldberg's book 'The True Secret of Writing' and the 'RV Dreams Journal' before crawling into bed around 10:30pm and now here I am at 6:43 writing this having communed with Spirit and Tarot enjoying the sight of the fading moon and rising sun in the sky.  It's quite a sight to see the Sun's reflection in the building across the street and then be able to look up ever so slightly and catch a glimpse of the moon...

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "4 The Green Man: The Green Man is generous in his bestowal of creative, fertile energy and he will move you to a new level of confident and assertive dynamism.  This is a time for both giving and receiving the natural flow of life both inwardly and outwardly.  Be prepared to find a new and thriving drive to begin projects, relationships and even new ways of living your life and fulfilling your world.  Now is the time to experience being at the apex of the cycle of life.  Enjoy it!"

I'm quite drawn to this..."Be prepared to find a new and thriving drive to begin projects, relationships and even new ways of living your life and fulfilling your world.  Now is the time to experience being at the apex of the cycle of life.  Enjoy it!"  And this part here is especially potent for me..."new ways of living your life and fulfilling your world".

I need to seize this moment, this time in life, and live it, truly live my life the way I've always wanted to...living life on the road in whatever facet I can.

Seize the moment!

And with each being ruled by a planet today's magical influences are "peace, sleep, healing, compassion, friends, psychic awareness, purification and fertility".  Mondays always seem to me to be a sleepyhead kind of day.  As I transition from my "job" to solely being Wizard Oron, Mondays might be a day I take off and relax, taking time to simply 'BE' for the entire day.

So on top of 'seizing the moment', I recognize Mondays as being a sleepyhead kind of day and a good day to simply 'BE' to here's an early morning toast to "Living and Celebrating Life to the Fullest!"

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'7 The Archer' and Letting Your Soul Take Flight

Sunday, August 2nd, 2015.  Sunday is about "healing, spirituality, success, strength, and protection".  This is then combined with the moon in Pisces where "the focus is on dreaming, nostalgia, intuition and psychic impressions" and it's "a good time for spiritual or philanthropic activities".

I hope everyone had a great start to their weekend and had wonderful Full Moon and Lammas celebrations.  My weekend has certainly been full of the loving energy, presence, and guidance of Spirit.  I'm now the new owner of a Pleasure Way Van that I introduced in a blog post late last night and Serenity is her name.  I'm simply the chauffeur of this van.  As I mentioned in last night's post Serenity really belongs to my two friends, Edith and Eugene Tokalot.  And again, please introduce yourself to them at their blog Edith and Eugene Tokalot's RVing Adventures or invite them over to your neck of the woods for a visit.  They love a good road trip.  And please tell your friends  about these two wonderful characters too!

For the most part last night was all about learning more about how to use and operate the van and planning our first road trip in her.  We'll likely do a bit more of a shakedown cruise later this month or perhaps over the September long weekend, likely an overnight trip so we hike the Joffre Lakes Trail up near Pemberton.  Right now I think we'll likely spend the night at Duffey Lake Provincial Park (also rated on Trip Advisor) then drive over to Joffre Lakes Provincial Park and do the four or five return hike.  The difficulty and intensity of the hike is either very difficult or simply moderate as it all depends on where the information comes from.  The Joffre Lakes Provincial Park entry seems to rate it as difficult whereas most of what I've read on Trip Advisor reports it as a moderate hike.  So that's the initial plan for our first real shakedown cruise of Serenity.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "7 The Archer: The dawn of a new adventure, folded in the web of universal potential, waits for you to string the bow of your imagination and loose the arrows of creativity.  This is a time to be bold and commit to the hunting of new life and a better relationship with the world, as well as the fulfillment of wholesome ambition.  Take a moment to gather your tools and steady your state of mind.  Take careful stock of what you want to achieve, why and how you will go about it.  Then harness your potential by filling your quiver with all the talents, knowledge and cunning you possess and string the 'bow of burning gold' with the 'arrows of desire'.  Take a deep breath and be calm.  It is time to let your soul take flight."

I'm gathering all of my tools, skills, talents, creativity and imagination and releasing my desires (arrows) with focused intent as I'm ready to let my "soul take flight".  I've hunted for a new life and it's time to reel it in along with a new, deeper, more profound and wholesome relationship with the world and all of the people I encounter along the way.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Celebrating Lammas by Picking Up My 2005 Pleasure Way XL Van

Saturday, August 1st, 2015.  Happy Lammas Everyone!  May we all be blessed with the gathering and bounty of the first harvest.  May the abundance of food gathered be respected and consumed with thoughts of peace, love, and sustainability of nature and all of Gaia.

This morning my brother was once again gracious enough to drive us out to O'Connor RV in Chilliwack so I could finally pick up my new to me 2005 Pleasure Way XL Van.  This time I was raring to go with nervous excitement.  As I got settled in with Peter to go over the financing and related paperwork my nerves settled right down.  Thank you Peter.  Once the financing was taken care of I sat down with Diana and insured the van so I could drive it off the lot.  Thank you Diana.  About twenty minutes after arriving I was out doing a walk thru of the van with Gerri.

Gerri was a great teacher and I pretty much understand all the inner workings of the van, oh, let's call her by her name, Serenity.  I understand how the propane system works, how the electrical system works, the drainage, the hot water heater, the house battery, how to winterize the plumbing, and much, much more.  Thank you Gerri, apologies if I misspelled your name.

Before driving off we had a photo taken in front of Serenity, this is one with only me in it:

However, Serenity belongs more to two loving and wonderful friends that entered my life in 2009, Edith and Eugene Tokalot.  So please visit and learn more about them by following their adventures and maybe even mis-advenutres at 'Edith and Eugene Tokalot's RVing Adventures' (eandetokalotsrvingadventures.blogspot.ca)

Having said that, the "Ten of Stones. Home" could not be more true than it is today.  How much at home I feel now having a newer, well taken care home on wheels at the waiting whenever the mood strikes and I need to hit the open road as open as it can be...

The 'Ten of Stones-Home' and a Sense of Belonging

Saturday, August 1st, 2015.  Welcome to the first day of August and here in New Westminster catching a glimpse of the fading Full Moon in the early morning sky where the sunrise is brightly reflected in the glass of a tall building giving me a glimpse of its fiery presence this day.

We had a quiet Friday evening at home after a simple yet very scrumptious dinner.  Oh, and after many days of missing the gym I made it there after work for a very satisfying workout.  It sure feels good to work my muscles.  I might have mentioned this before but I do a simple workout that focuses on the major muscle groups so I can pretty much get in and out of the gym in about forty-five minutes.  I do this because I just focus on doing my reps and my sets with minimal delay.  Thirty second pauses between each rep and about sixty seconds between each exercise.

We were in bed early and it was a bit warm for sleeping so I awoke a few times.  One of us turned the AC back on as it must have been a little too hot for them to get to sleep.  I didn't even notice.  Then it was suddenly time to hop out of bed.  I opened my eyes and knew it was a good to start the day.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Ten of Stones. Home: The traditional concept of home and family has evolved and change over the last few decades, but certain basic notions remain unchanged.  In the traditional British family, where the father went to work and the mother stayed home to manage the house and the children, home was the place we always came back to, where stability and a well-founded set of traditions and social rules applied.  It was both guarded and guided by love, respect and loyalty.  As children, we see  home as a place of security and caring.  As young adults exploring the world, it can be wherever you lay your hat r guitar case.  In later life, it may become your own heart's stronghold and sanctuary.  For some, the concept of home is just that: an idea, a hope, a dream, not merely a shelter from the elements or an investment in bricks and plaster.  For some, it truly is where love resides and is the final destination after a colourful or arduous life journey."

As soon as I laid eye upon the "Ten of Stones, Home" I was filled with the feeling of having come home, of having found my place in the world where I'm comfortable, satisfied and filled with a sense of and of fulfilling my purpose.  I've come home and I've found my place in the world.  How much better can it be...life is abundant and prosperous in the most important areas of my life.  I know where I belong, I'm in a loving relationship in a beautiful home, and I, and we are living very simple, ordinary rich full lives.

Instead of focusing on possessions and collecting a house full of knick knacks and other things that weigh us down we are divesting ourselves of such possessions and experiencing a new sense of freedom and well-being as a result.  Our home is becoming an oasis of contentment and well-being as it is free of unnecessary weight and clutter.  My plain and simple goal is to be able to take all of my possessions with me in my camper van.  I still have a ways to go but I'm getting there.  Become a minimalist and you'll be surprised how freeing it can be...after all it's just stuff...really it's just stuff that you really don't need.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
