'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.
