Wednesday, September 30th, 2015. A two hour Spanish Class last evening kept me away from my writing and my blog post. I did not know what to expect however I had an enjoyable evening and felt like I learned a few things. Cool, I just might be able to speak Spanish to my partner after almost eleven years of being together.
Spirit Is and yesterday's Tarot Essence was the "Two of Bows, Decision: The bow represents not just the potential energy latent within any situation, but the need to direct and manage that energy to achieve your goals. This can mean first movement towards reinvigorating and reforming the relationship with life. It requires the decisive will to step across a threshold and take control in a positive and proactive manner. Sometimes this may require a reclaiming and remaking of the mental and emotional tools and energies that are required to move on in life. By preparing to step up and through the gateway and make a choice to allow forward momentum to flow naturally, the fashioning of a new mental discipline or processes, or the reawakening of a previously effective but abandoned one, may be required. By summoning and directing the powerful, healing energies available to you, the rough-hewn bow stave can be grasped and the process of shaping and crafting your destiny can begin. You stand at a crucial crossroads from which you can now move forward with confidence. Once the decision to take control of these elements and harness and direct your power is made, a new paradigm of possibilities is released. These energies will need skilful harnessing and responsible management to reach their full and effective potential."
And today's Tarot Energy is "3 The Green Woman: Appearing at a time of rich nurturing and protection, of learning and initiation, when loving and fertile relationships, both human and universal, abound, the Green Woman mediates the sacred sovereignty of the Earth's soul and can show the path to understanding and communion with nature. But with this blessing comes responsibility. Remember that this glorious, magnanimous and generous spirit can live through you, radiated by the sacred breath of life and given to others who need guidance and healing. Learn from the abundant and joyous spirit of the Earth and be at one with the world and your true self."
This phrase is the energy I'm feeling as I become one with the "Two of Bows": "The bow represents not just the potential energy latent within any situation, but the need to direct and manage that energy to achieve your goals."
And the "3 The Green Woman" is asking that we "learn from the abundant and joyous spirit of the Earth and be at one with the world and" our "true self."
It becomes easier to manage and direct energy to our goals when we are one with the world and our true selves. So let's go ahead and get ourselves, let's make some amazing discoveries and maybe some not so great but we can deal with those too but for now let's just say "Hi" to ourselves and take it from there.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Three of Bows, Fulfillment' and Trusting That Your Goals Are Realized
Monday, September 28th, 2015. We went out for a bike ride yesterday a quick grocery run. We rode from downtown New Westminster over to Queensborough and back. Then we had our lunch followed a little later by an afternoon coffee and warm chocolate chip cookies. I wiled the afternoon away playing around with my model train layout, flipping through model railroad magazines. This continued up until bedtime. Sleep was good however I did awake slightly before the alarm however I was still surprised when the alarm awoke us with its musical serenade.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot Energy is the "Three of Bows, Fulfillment: Nourishment from a spiritual source gives inner security and joy. Goals and desires are reached, making life rich with emotional scrutiny and a sense of completion. The archer must be at one with the bow to fully direct its potential energy, and just as the arrow passes through the bow, propelling it to its target with effortless grace, the questing heart and seeker of knowledge allows the energy to flow through him. This combination of balanced energy and intellectual focus enables the mastering of any situation and allows the enrichment of success by being both at one with the environment and its inhabitants. Reaching this inner stronghold of strength and peace can only be achieved by constant reappraisal, vigilance and commitment to your goals; but the act of letting the power flow through you and having the trust to allow your arrows to fly completes an unseen, universal circuit. The inner stillness and focus thus produced is easily apparent and observable to others, and builds a sense of trust, confidence and security in those for whom you are responsible. This inner shining energy will inspire others to start out on their own path of discovery and sojourn to fulfillment."
Trust, the "Three of Bows, Fulfillment" is all about trust and faith based on experience that our goals will be, no are successful. Let your arrows fly through the air knowing full well that it or they will reach their target and bring success your way. Have your goals in mind but be detached from them, reassess them if and when necessary however let that seed you planted germinate, grow and blossom into the success you wish it to be instead of digging it up every now and then in order to see if it has sprouted yet. Your goal needs to time to incubate in the cosmos and be filled with the energy of the universe before it can become anything...so be release your arrows and then be patient.
For instance, today I visited 'Serenity', my camper van and had a flash of seeing my goals realized but only if I let it germinate sprout, grow and blossom into a successful outcome. I've released my arrows and they are on target to hit their mark. I trust the universe and know that the cosmos is providing them with the added energy necessary so they succeed.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'18 The Moon on Water' and Fine Tuning My Goals
Sunday, September 27th, 2015. We relaxed for the morning, had lunch then headed downtown to grab a coffee before meeting our friends to catch a movie and have dinner with them. The movie is only one of the I think 375 movies being shown at this year's VIFF or Vancouver International Film Festival. We saw a Turkish movie, 'Ivy' that turns out to be the name of the ship that 6 sailors had to remain on just outside of a port as the ship's owner went bankrupt. I do believe they were on the ship for about two months, ran out of food and were running low on water. Great movie.
Dinner was at a familiar place for us, La Casita at the corner of Cordova and Abbott Streets in the Gastown neighbourhood of Vancouver. The food is quite tasty and portion sizes are very generous. Our friends were impressed, this having been their first visit.
After dinner we walked back to our earlier meeting place, the theatre, said our so longs before heading our separate ways. A nice relatively early evening for us, as we arrived home around 9pm, giving us plenty of time to relax and enjoy the rest of our evening before slipping into bed...and I slept in this morning, crawling out of bed around 7:15am.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is "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."
For me this is a tie where my goals and desires have become more finely tuned and focused as I now know that although my goals remain relatively the same I also know that my focus has to be on simply lifting people up and inspiring them to see beyond the limitations of our human perspective and instead view the world through a spiritual and infinite lens where all possibilities exist. As a continuation on yesterday's theme I also want to approach everyone through spirit from my spirit to theirs, recognizing them as real people and where their lives do matter. There was no better example of this than our walk through 'Victory Square' as this is where a lot of what I'll refer to as society's castaways hangout, no disrespect intended. I walked through the park unafraid with love and recognition that each of these individuals deserved to loved and recognized as human beings and that their lives mattered. I left no room in my heart to either label or judge them. I did my best to look at each of them sending love and respect their way as we walked by.
I'll be a bachelor for about ten days the latter half of October and during these ten days (I'll actually start now) on top of my already existing plans I'm going to immerse myself in Wiccan rituals and maybe even spells in order to grow, strengthen and find a way where I can quit my existing job and instead shift my focus into helping those left behind, the castaways of society, the forgotten ones, the discarded lives...
...discarded lives of individuals who may have wonderful things to offer us if they receive a little love, respect and acknowledgement that they are indeed human beings and that they matter...
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

One Tin Soldier (Rides Again) and Put Your Hand in the Hand
Saturday, September 26th, 2015. We headed out last night, going downtown to meet up with a friend and then have a late dinner. The evening was enjoyable, we arrive home late but satisfied with the pleasantness of the night out we had. We slipped into bed pretty much as soon as we walked through the door and as quickly as we could shed our clothes. It was only an hour or so later than our usual bedtime but we were both sleepy and tired.
Yesterday as I was heading back to the office I had the radio on and soon a song was playing and my heart soul began to cry as the music and lyrics filled me with sadness as I reflected on the words and music that seeped to the very core of my being. Then I thought "What are we doing with this world live and the people that we share it with?"
Here's a link to the music if you wish to take a listen: One Tin Soldier and here is another one too: One Tin Soldier
As I listened to this music that filled my spirit with the loving presence and guidance of Spirit I came across this song: Put Your Hand in the Hand
Then as I lost myself this morning in a flickering candle flame and the rising sweet scent of 'Moon" incense I laid my card of the day spread...
...and today's Tarot Energy is the:
"Four of Stones, Protection: Many trials and tribulations surface during our lifetime, and being able to endure such times is the sign of a strong heart and healthy spirit. Finding a personal place of emotional safety may require patience and a stoical dedication to the quest, but for those who have weathered adversity and knows loss, the light of life will always burn brightly within them. By building on a foundation of ethical beliefs, boundaries and skills, we can be assured that when the test comes we are secure in our self-knowledge and confidence. The human ability to recognize and feel compassion for those who need help is just as important. However the storm may tear at our own inner place of protection, we must keep the faith that the sun will rise again for all those in peril and offer fresh opportunities and spiritual rewards. Such is the law of karma, that each act of selfless protection and mercy for those in need revitalizes the spiritual warrior with a sense of peace and divinity rarely found in common practice." (Card of the Day)...
...followed by 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" (attend to this)...
...and the "Four of Arrows, Rest: In this stressful and demanding world, we sometimes forget that rest is a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle and sleep a vital part of recuperation and the healing process. This primal mechanism is not just for the well-being of the body but the mind and imagination as well. Muscles need time to repair and rebuild after strenuous exertion, and the functions of the human psyche need dreams and sleep to aid the process, bringing order to what sometimes seems chaos and random machinations of daily life. Sometimes, inspiration and insight can also come through restful meditation and lucid dreaming. Welcome these insights joyfully and take note of what your subconscious is saying to you. One of the first human instincts when confronted with a survival situation in any wild environment is to find or build a shelter to provide protection from the elements and act as a safe place to rest and sleep in safety. Without that basic human security requirement, survivors often become disoriented, make poor decisions and become unable to physically complete simple and necessary tasks, eventually losing hope. Rest and sleep are vital to restore stamina and vitality." (what to look out for-feelings, desires, reactions that could arise)
This phrase weighs heavily on me today "each act of selfless protection and mercy for those in need revitalizes the spiritual warrior with a sense of peace and divinity rarely found in common practice" so much so that I want to do all that I can to help others feel a sense of peace and love in their lives, that the less fortunate can know that someone actually does care for them. The "King of Bows, Adder" encourages me to take action as I have the "maturity, strength of resolve, energy and wisdom" to not only do so but to do so knowing that I'll always land on my feet and that not only can I rest and recuperate but that those who find solace in knowing that someone cares will also be able to do the same as the energy of "Four of Arrows, Rest" washes over them and provides them with "a safe place to rest and sleep in safety."
This Card of the Day Spread encourages me and should encourage you to reach out and help someone in need and this could be the smallest and easiest act of kindness...a simple smile and an acknowledgement that they exist and are indeed a person that matters.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Three of Bows, Fulfillment' and Finding Sleep Through Communion With Spirit
Thursday, September 24th, 2015. I awoke and had a bit of a sleepless as I thought through my finances. After about an hour or so I calmed myself as I realized through communion with Spirit that I'm doing quite alright. Yes, I have debt but I'm paying it down and investing in my future.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is "Three of Bows, Fulfillment: Nourishment from a spiritual source gives inner security and joy. Goals and desires are reached, making life rich with emotional scrutiny and a sense of completion. The archer must be at one with the bow to fully direct its potential energy, and just as the arrow passes through the bow, propelling it to its target with effortless grace, the questing heart and seeker of knowledge allows the energy to flow through him. This combination of balanced energy and intellectual focus enables the mastering of any situation and allows the enrichment of success by being both at one with the environment and its inhabitants. Reaching this inner stronghold of strength and peace can only be achieved by constant reappraisal, vigilance and commitment to your goals; but the act of letting the power flow through you and having the trust to allow your arrows to fly completes an unseen, universal circuit. The inner stillness and focus thus produced is easily apparent and observable to others, and builds a sense of trust, confidence and security in those for whom you are responsible. This inner shining energy will inspire others to start out on their own path of discovery and sojourn to fulfillment."
I can certainly attest to the fact that "Nourishment from a spiritual source gives inner security and joy." My sleepless night that became relaxed filled with sleep came as a result of tapping into the Spiritual energy that is always with us especially when we pay attention to it and don't take it for granted. Last night I also had the overwhelming feeling that my "Goals and desires are reached, making" my "life rich with emotional scrutiny and a sense of completion."
I fell asleep feeling very good with the knowledge that I'm on a good foundation, I'm growing and learning what I need to so I can transition to a more spiritual career and that I'm proactively involved in the present and am giving my all to the job I currently have. I'm comfortable using my bow and allowing its energy to propel my desires toward the attainment of my goals. I allow the power of Spirit to fill and flow through to inspire others to do the same.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'5 The Ancestor' and Heeding the Call
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2015. Dreams through the night come and go...dreams about shaving and shaving a little too much of my beard, then shaving so all that is left is a five o'clock shadow. Family, friends, then work. Then I dream about travel, travel in an RV, meeting people and inspiring one another through our spirits.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is "5 The Ancestor: You have made the leap and started a new cycle. Your instinctive spirit has felt it necessary to lead you to the gateway and a new path. You may have been reluctant or concerned at first, but whether you realize it or not a shift has occurred. You may feel wary of the unknown denizens that await you in the forest, but the ancient Ancestor within you will guide and reassure you as you relearn and greet new experiences on the path. Trust your inner voice. Listen to your instinctive and inquisitive nature. Your inner Ancestor is strong, patient and wise. Let them lead you into the forest with new eyes and a joyful heart."
My focus on the present and how I want to shape my future and how I see my future unfolding is becoming very precise and directed in the finest of details. It's great how relaxed and patient I've become in shaping my future even though I'd like to be living such a life today and realistically speaking I already am. More work needs to be done but the energy is there, the momentum is moving in the direction I want it to go and I'm more deeply spiritual and understanding of my spiritual calling.
Let your soul come alive, take a quiet moment and listen...what do you hear? ? Is there a whispering voice in your head that you just can't shake? Well, pay attention to it! Is your ancestor calling you, calling you into action, to forge a new path, to take up a new calling?
Close your eyes for a moment and let Spirit show you who you really are and where you need to go in and with your life. Now open your eyes and follow the path laid out before you and be guided by "the ancient Ancestor within you".
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'The Great Bear' and Being Proactive When Change Comes Calling
Tuesday, September 22, 2015. Mabon. Happy Mabon Folks! May the celebration of the Autumnal Equinox be a good one and bring us all closer together as we celebrate another harvest and giving much thanks for this blessing. Llewellyn's 2015 Magical Almanac has it listed for today and tomorrow!
Another evening of piddling around doing a whole lot of nothing. Well, not really as I focused my energy on getting more in tune with my website, blog, and how best I can follow my calling and live a more spiritual life as well as transition into a more spiritually minded career. I love working and interacting with Tarot Essence and Energy as it enriches every atom of my being to overflowing with everything I wish to be and bring into this world. I love working and interacting with candles and incense. Losing myself in a flickering candle flame as the smoky incense swirls skyward carrying me with it. Mind, body, and spirit become one and simply are.
One way I'm did this is by divesting myself of the many things I've hung onto for years such as greeting cards, knick-knacks, books, magazines, and odds n ends that I thought I couldn't possibly get rid of. As I mentioned in my Sunday writing I got rid of it all. Opening and going through the boxes allowed me to re-experience and truly capture the energy and emotions trapped in all of those things take it all in, forever stamp those memories into my mind and now keep it with me as a new source of energy and state of being. I'm spiritually richer through this experience.
A sleep filled night gave way to a sweet serenade from the alarm gently lifting us out of our slumber. We slipped out of bed and slowly got on with our day.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Essence is "20 The Great Bear: The only thing in life that is assured is that, if you wait long enough, it will change. How you survive that change and who you are after it is up to you. The major element in this process is judgement of yourself and others. This may relate to an assessment regarding a personal matter or situation, and could be linked to the process of forgiving. It may also relate to a group or social decision. In the process of judgement, both as an individual and on the universal level, honesty is the key. Be honest, be forgiving, be patient, but most of all, be assured change is at hand. Remember, the universe has a long memory. Nothing is ever forgotten."
Time to be proactive and be change by facing and dealing with it dead on instead of merely reacting to it. Change in my life is occurring more than ever in my life these days as I become more laser focused on how to move into living and work a more spiritual lifestyle. My sense of energy and being has shifted and I'm having more meaningful, rich and fulfilling interactions with Tarot and Spirit. I'm experiencing Tarot more than playing with the cards. I've become an extension of the cards and of Spirit in ways I never thought possible. It's truly a new and exciting experience for me.
I now realize that as much as I thought I was having a nice, simple and real spiritual experience, I was wrong. I was merely scratching at the surface. Lights have turned on, transformation has occurred and a new sense of life and living has taken over.
Change and being proactive and engaged in change once you realize it's happening is the best way to deal with it. So don't shy away from and instead tackle it head on as best you can. Sometimes it might be tough, challenging and downright painful and depressing but face it and know, feel and experience it knowing full well that Spirit is right there alongside you having faith in your abilities and capabilities in dealing with change.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Another evening of piddling around doing a whole lot of nothing. Well, not really as I focused my energy on getting more in tune with my website, blog, and how best I can follow my calling and live a more spiritual life as well as transition into a more spiritually minded career. I love working and interacting with Tarot Essence and Energy as it enriches every atom of my being to overflowing with everything I wish to be and bring into this world. I love working and interacting with candles and incense. Losing myself in a flickering candle flame as the smoky incense swirls skyward carrying me with it. Mind, body, and spirit become one and simply are.
One way I'm did this is by divesting myself of the many things I've hung onto for years such as greeting cards, knick-knacks, books, magazines, and odds n ends that I thought I couldn't possibly get rid of. As I mentioned in my Sunday writing I got rid of it all. Opening and going through the boxes allowed me to re-experience and truly capture the energy and emotions trapped in all of those things take it all in, forever stamp those memories into my mind and now keep it with me as a new source of energy and state of being. I'm spiritually richer through this experience.
A sleep filled night gave way to a sweet serenade from the alarm gently lifting us out of our slumber. We slipped out of bed and slowly got on with our day.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Essence is "20 The Great Bear: The only thing in life that is assured is that, if you wait long enough, it will change. How you survive that change and who you are after it is up to you. The major element in this process is judgement of yourself and others. This may relate to an assessment regarding a personal matter or situation, and could be linked to the process of forgiving. It may also relate to a group or social decision. In the process of judgement, both as an individual and on the universal level, honesty is the key. Be honest, be forgiving, be patient, but most of all, be assured change is at hand. Remember, the universe has a long memory. Nothing is ever forgotten."
Time to be proactive and be change by facing and dealing with it dead on instead of merely reacting to it. Change in my life is occurring more than ever in my life these days as I become more laser focused on how to move into living and work a more spiritual lifestyle. My sense of energy and being has shifted and I'm having more meaningful, rich and fulfilling interactions with Tarot and Spirit. I'm experiencing Tarot more than playing with the cards. I've become an extension of the cards and of Spirit in ways I never thought possible. It's truly a new and exciting experience for me.
I now realize that as much as I thought I was having a nice, simple and real spiritual experience, I was wrong. I was merely scratching at the surface. Lights have turned on, transformation has occurred and a new sense of life and living has taken over.

'18 The Moon On Water' and Discovering That We're Within The Consciousness of the Universe
Monday, September 21, 2015. A nice relaxing evening piddling around with my model railroad and reading articles from 'Sage Woman', 'Witches & Pagans', and 'Circle Magazine'. Such spiritually enriching articles that really touch the core of my being. As I read I feel the weight of my body disappear and the room around fade into absolute nothingness and I simply am one with the spirit and energy of each article.
However, as quickly as I fell asleep I seemingly awoke then struggled to find my sleep mojo. I dozed and fell asleep for awhile, awoke, fell asleep again, then repeat a couple of more times until the alarm sang to us and gently lifted us out of slumber.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is "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."
My inner calling is to be completely spiritual both in my personal life and as a calling I must follow. I need spirituality as a career. I'm working on this however, I need help doing it. I need clients I have a website and a blog so if feel that I can be of assistance to you or anyone else please do not hesitate to make contact. I want to be inspired by you and inspire you as much as I can in return. I'd love to hear from you. Whether it's to seek my services or offer advice send me a message and let's see where it takes us.
What is "18 The Moon on Water" asking of you? Where does it want you to go? Now that you know that we're "within the consciousness of the universe" let's go exploring and see what we find.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Page of Vessels, Otter' and a Sense of Fair Play
Sunday, September 20, 2015. What a day of accomplishments we had yesterday. We tackled our storage locker in an effort to clean it up and organize it. We did both. By the time we finished the locker was less than half full and we had a car full of stuff to either give to the Salvation Army or bring to a variety of antique or consignment stores. Since I have shifted gears I also made the decision to clean up what I will now refer to as my model railroad cabinet and temporarily brought down all of my crafting and card making supplies to the storage locker which is now full. However, my brother is going up to our home town near the end of October so I've asked him to bring my crafting and card making supplies up with him as I'm giving it all to my niece and sister.
Whew!
I feel great now that I've freed myself of a lot of stuff that has been hidden away in boxes for well over ten years. I looked through it all, had my moments and memories and then let it go as I filled myself with the essence and energy of what all of this stuff created in terms of memories and emotions that is now a part of the fabric of my being. I've enriched my spirit and now our stuff can find a new home and may they create new feelings and memories for others.
Then it was onto dinner and enjoying the evening which we did. Dinner was satiating and the evening filled with model railroading. And suddenly it was time for bed as sleep washed over us shortly before 11:00pm.
Sleep was great. Could I have slept longer perhaps but I slept right through the night so I decided to crawl out of bed around 5:30am. I slept in on Saturday so what the heck.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the "Page of Vessels, Otter: As a dreamer and a visionary, you weave a spell that few can resist. Your loyalty, devotion and sense of fair play mark you out as an individual whose will is tempered by profound understanding of the otherworld. Loyalty, Devotion, Study, Willingness to serve, Vision and contemplation, Co-operation, Perceptiveness."
If we continually strengthen and maintain our connection with Spirit and the cosmic energy that is the very fabric of our being, of our existence we will always be able to display our "sense of fair play" through "loyalty, devotion" and a keen sense of what we can give and take in our relationships whether at home, in the workplace or amongst friends and family.
It all boils down to allowing our natural state of being shine through and that is our spirit. If we walk through life as spiritual beings and extend ourselves spiritually to others we then connect with everyone we come into contact on a truly spiritual level thus allowing a naturally loving connection and interaction to occur in all our relationships. Be guided by Spirit and let your spirit lead and guide you in all that you do.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Knight of Stones. Horse' and Using Nature's Energy to Balance the Books
Saturday, September 19th, 2015. The job is being good to me however although yesterday started off well it quickly became a frustrating day. Thankfully the frustration was mostly resolved by the end of the work day. But now I'll change my focus and leave the job for Monday.
I almost gave up going to the gym as I was getting home a bit later than usual however when I arrived home the urge to get in a god workout was quite strong so off to the gym I went. Glad I did it as work the muscles simply melted away the stress of the day and I felt great and walked tall, happy, and content all the way home...
The evening was a quiet one as I both feeling tired and sleepy after a great dinner of perogies, fried onions, a bit of shredded cheese and a simple salad on the side and having releasing all of the stress of the day at the gym. We were in bed early.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Essence is the "Knight of Stones, Horse: Healthy activity and self-sufficiency colour your path. Physical strength supports your decisions and pleasure is important. Daring, pride and a love of the Earth lead you to attempt ever more amazing feats. Let the horse carry you. Activity, Kindness and helpfulness, Perseverance, Benefitting, A good ally, Profit, A quick grasp of essentials."
As I look at the "Knight of Stones, Horse", I think of living in the heart of nature as I traverse the roads, highways, and bi-ways of North America. I see visions of myself opening the door of "Serenity" and breathing in and taking in the loving, nurturing, and energizing essence of Nature as I strive to camp in the woods, or mountains, or meadows that dot the landscape around me allowing to learn, grow, and inspire and make new friends and build powerful relationships along the way. As nature's life energy flows through me, flows through us we are better able to focus on prioritizing our budgets so we have the freedom to be better ourselves as well as those around us.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'13 The Journey' and Letting Parts of Your Old Self Go and Letting Them Remain in the Past
Friday, September 18th, 2015. I spent the evening doing a whole lot of nothing. I spent a lot of time thinking, thinking about what I should do for the rest of the evening and accomplishing not much. Then I slept well until about 1:00am and tossed and turned for over an hour before falling back to sleep. The last time I noticed the time it was almost 2:30 in the morning. I barely heard the alarm singing to us but was able to hop out of bed with no problem.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is "13 The Journey: It is time to face the inevitable, to let the bones be laid bare and acknowledge the deepest aspects of your fears and desires. Do not fear change, because this is also a time of purification and realignment. This change may seem extreme and destructive, but old crops must be cleared for new growth to thrive and static or sterile modes and concepts must perish. A celebration of the past or an acknowledgement of the passing of one part of life may be required. Let the threads of the old slip from your fingers with joyful remembrance and enter this time of withdrawal and renewal with patience and calm."
I let go of parts of me that no longer suit me and that no longer fit in with my current life's journey. I am naturally loving, compassionate, generous, peaceful, forgiving and mindful of all that I say and do as well as the influence I have on the world around. My words and actions not only affect me but they can also drastically affect others so I do my best to think, analyze and predict before I speak and/or leap into action for throughout the day. I celebrate what I've been, the person I was in the past but now I need to bid my old self goodbye so I can welcome the new me into the present so that I grow to be a better person now and well into the future.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'20 The Great Bear' and Letting Spirit Guide Us Through Change
Thursday, September 17, 2015. What a beautiful sleep I had last night. I awoke just a few minutes before 6:00am. Cool! I didn't even stir during the night. And I barely remember dreaming...
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "20 The Great Bear: The only thing in life that is assured is that, if you wait long enough, it will change. How you survive that change and who you are after it is up to you. The major element in this process is judgement of yourself and others. This may relate to an assessment regarding a personal matter or situation, and could be linked to the process of forgiving. It may also relate to a group or social decision. In the process of judgement, both as an individual and on the universal level, honesty is the key. Be honest, be forgiving, be patient, but most of all, be assured change is at hand. Remember, the universe has a long memory. Nothing is ever forgotten."
Change, change and how will we let it affect us and how will we make positive change or changes in our lives because of this? We need to keep open minds, hearts and spirits and maintain our focus on the present with great plans for the future while at the same time be willing to change when needed. We need to realize that life is unpredictable and never set in stone. Change is a natural occurrence. The very planet we live on is in a constant state of change as is the universe so why should we be any different.
If we all let Spirit guide us in all that we say and do we should pretty much be ready for anything. Of course, this can sometimes also be easier said than done however with having said that my life is much calmer and more sane if I surrender to Spirit and all the wisdom that comes from within and because of the kindness, love, and generosity I let be part of my natural state of being.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Nine of Vessels,Generosity' and Lighting Up the World With Kindness
Wednesday, September 16, 2015. Let's see I relaxed with Pleasure-Way Van Motorhome manuals last night. I learned about propane, holding tanks, air bag assist suspension systems, water intakes, and how to clean and maintain the exterior of the van. I only briefly looked at my model railroad as I need to pull the table in order to make further progress by gluing the track sub-roadbed down.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Nine of Vessels, Generosity: It can be easy to forget, when e reach the pinnacle of our prowess, power and security, that life is cyclical and what we enjoy during the times of plenty are the products of previous toil and effort. Just like the wise farmer, we must manage good fortune by planting seeds for the future and by helping those facing hard times. This generosity will always come back to you a thousandfold if it is gifted with selfless goodwill and a common humanity. To recognize and acknowledge that you are merely a conduit for this abundant enriching blessing, and to let it flow through you and into others' lives, allows your good fortune to circulate and your positive momentum to carry others with you. By freely giving of your time, support and energy, the blessing of the divine surrounds you. In this cynical and material world, such things may seem to have little value, but those who have experienced the process in their own lives understand that, in the words of Theodore Rubin: 'Kindness is more important than wisdom, and recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom."
As quoted above, kindness is "the beginning of wisdom" So what is the message here, it's simply to be genuinely kind and generous. Kindness and generosity are the way to go and they should be the natural way to go for all of us. how difficult is it to be kind and generous? Let's remember that kindness and generosity don't always have to involve money. Words, deeds and actions can go a long way to changing a person's life. Light up a person's life by lifting their spirits with an act of kindness and show that someone does indeed care.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Page of Stones' and Mind, Body, Spirit
Tuesday, September 15, 2015. More model railroading took up my evening last night. We had dinner, showered, watched snippets of CBC's 'Power & Politics' after which I piddled around with my train layout. Then I quit for the evening around 10:00pm to relax a little before going to bed and to watch a bit of the late evening news.
Falling asleep quickly, I slept very soundly until likely somewhere between 5 and 6 this morning. I somewhat dozed and tossed and turned but I arose feeling well rested and ready for another day on the job.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Page of Stones, Lynx: Pay attention to the physical realm, and be aware of the effects generated by everything you do. A strain of wildness and lack of forethought can sometimes hamper your forward passage, but careful consideration redresses the balance. Study and scholarship, School, Apprenticeship, Starting out, Carefulness, Reflection, Meditation, Observing others."
Mind, body, spirit. All three are connected and interlinked in so many ways and in so many ways that we might not even be aware of so how very important it is for us to take care of all three. Today, we see that the body is our focus and what better ways to exercise our bodies than adopting some sort of physical regimen that keeps our muscles moving and our heart pumping. A healthy body also contributes to a clear and healthy mind and a happy spirit.
Living a healthy lifestyle allows us to exercise and influence our lives in many positive ways. We're able to rest well and clear our minds thus allowing us to see our dreams, goals and desires more clearly and able to make course corrections so we stay on the right course and have a smoother less bumpy journey.
Thank You Spirit.

'5 The Ancestor' and Following the Path Laid Out Before Us
Monday, September 14, 2015. We had a quiet day yesterday even with a quick visit with an acquaintance. We had lunch out once again but stayed in for our weekend afternoon coffee. I continued to piddle around with my model railroad making real progress although it doesn't really reveal itself as I'm simply gluing things down. This is great and such a spiritual exercise as I feel fantastic piddling away and making mental plans as to how it will grow into a nice little community. And my heart and spirit glow with satisfaction and contentment.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "5 The Ancestor: You have made the leap and started a new cycle. Your instinctive spirit has felt it necessary to lead you to the gateway and a new path. You may have been reluctant or concerned at first, but whether you realize it or not a shift has occurred. You may feel wary of the unknown denizens that await you in the forest, but the ancient Ancestor within you will guide and reassure you as you relearn and greet new experiences on the path. Trust your inner voice. Listen to your instinctive and inquisitive nature. Your inner Ancestor is strong, patient and wise. Let them lead you into the forest with new eyes and a joyful heart."
I guess I'm feeling content because I know I'm on the right path and have the best spiritual guide possible to lead the way. More and more often I catch mental glimpses of life in a van but also life remaining tied to a solid home and a loving partner that will always be there. My thoughts and writing are becoming more focused, meaningful and full of life, my life. I'm more in tune with myself and all that is me and what I see, feel and know makes me happy and willing to follow our ancestors on the path they have set out before me.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Six of Stones, Exploitation' and Saving Ourselves By Changing Our Ways
Sunday, September 13th, 2015. We relaxed yesterday morning then headed for the beach likely for the last time this year as the weather is entering a typical cooling and wet pattern that we tend to see in Vancouver at this time of year. For the first 90 minutes at the beach it was breezy and on the cool side but it warmed up and became a hot day at the beach. After a few hours soaking up the surf and sun we headed home via a pit-stop for our afternoon coffee and another to take care of our weekly grocery run.
When we arrived home we un packed everything relaxed a bit, ate dinner, showered up and then relaxed the rest of the evening. I spent a few minutes here and there piddling around with my model railroad as it has been calling out for my attention the last several days. I'm trying to create balance and give enough commitment and focus to each of my passions these days and I think I'm close to finding a nice happy medium.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Six of Stones, Exploitation: Selfish or foolish overuse of non-sustainable resources implies imbalance in work or business that is damaging to yourself or the environment. The human race's capacity to exploit planetary resources to our detriment is motivated by a flawed belief that we have the right to do so. As we begin to come to terms with the profound effects of global climate change and irreversible effects this will have on our children's lives, the human race still struggles to deal with the unresolved issues of how to feed the billions of new human beings born every year. How we will resource the education, health and social service requirements of entire generation to come seems like a question too painful to even think about. With the world financial systems and safeguards breaking down, and faith in any government's ability to tell the truth and act with integrity severely damaged, our social moral codes and once-familiar cultural 'norms' appear under enormous strain. We all need to be aware of the price our children will pay for our exploitation of the planet's resources."
What more can each of us do to minimize our impact on the planet as well as find ways to utilize more sustainable items in our daily lives? What can we do to influence others to do the same. How can we spread the message that "it's not warming, it's dying"? We need to realize that the more harm we bring to the planet and all the creatures and life that inhabits her the more harm we are doing to ourselves. The message has to be realized today even though many of us will not likely see the disastrous consequences that might befall future generations if we don't get our act together today.
We need to put more value on the air we breathe and the water that sustains us. Lawns do not need water as much as we do. Let us all try to do more with less and put more value on and in the things that matter.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'10 The Wheel' and '21 The World Tree'...Change and Finding Inner Peace and Contentment
Saturday, September 12th, 2015. My sleeping pattern is one where I sleep for the first two thirds of the night then the active dreams begin and it's like I'm watching and even participating in several mental movies that flow through my mind the remainder of my sleep cycle. At times I'm having lucid dreams whereas at others it feels like deep subconscious thoughts that rise to the surface giving me a hint of what is yet to come in my life. I truly appreciate these experiences as they are intriguing, fascinating, and humbling all at the same time.
We hosted a couple of friends for dinner last night and the all of the food from the appetizers all the way to the main course. Olives, cheese, crackers, fig jam, and banana chips to start us off then onto a mixed green salad that accompanied our main dish "Arroz Con Pollo", rice with chicken...what a scrumptious and satisfying meal.
Yesterday's visiting Tarot is "10 The Wheel: The Wheel has turned; change is at hand. In all nature there is a time and tide. The cyclic laws of birth, death and rebirth are ever revolving and, without change, all things stagnate. How you deal with this change is the issue here. Within the tangled and tightly woven fabric of chance you have the power to make a difference. By your own actions you can change your life. You are not a prisoner of fate, but an integral part of it. Remember, this is not a dress rehearsal! Life is what happens to you while you are waiting for it to begin. Whether on the surface the change appears to be for better or for worse, welcome it, be at peace with it and take control of your actions within it. All things must pass."
Realistically, change is an almost daily occurrence as we tend to only notice the major and more abrupt changes that take place in our lives and seldom if ever the subtle changes that may be occurring on a daily basis. I firmly believe that each time we meditate, visit with Tarot, walk through nature or perform a ritual and cast a magick spell we change. Each day we awake, go to work, eat, shower, watch television, go to the gym or a movie or out for dinner, drinks, or a coffee we change. I suppose that what I'm trying to impress upon us here is that we have to understand realize, and acknowledge that change is a daily occurrence and all that we do in a given day is bringing about change. Our words, actions, and deeds...simply effect change in our lives and some instances this or these changes may be quite profound.
Today's visiting Tarot is "21 The World Tree: The universe and all its blessings are available to everyone who seeks knowledge and wisdom with a sincere heart. On every level, the cosmos has a generous bounty and gives freely of its rich nourishment and fulfillment. No matter how long the journey of life may be, however many twists and turns the maze may offer us, in the end, if we persevere, we will reach the point of fulfillment. This may relate to material gain and wealth or to spiritual happiness and emotional security, but after the long process of learning, responsibility and rebirth, it is now time to bathe in the light of renewal, attainment and personal triumph. Breathe in the rich air, drink of the sweet water and rejoice in the warming fire of the universal life force."
I'm feeling humbly confident and comfortable as I'm on a good path and my journey is spiritually guided and as I go about slowly moving in the direction I wish to be going as well as transitioning ever so slowly and calmly from a work-a-day life to a more fulfilling spiritual career. I'm comfortable and committed to the day job until spirit puts the reins of my new career and life into my hands and allows me to set out and traverse the roads, highways, and bi-ways of North America to learn, grow, and educate.
I find more success if I simply allow myself to 'BE' than when I try too hard to feel and maintain a connection with Spirit. When I stop trying so hard to be guided by spirit and sense and/or catch a glimpse of my future it all falls into place. The picture becomes clearer, I become more calm, relaxed, and understanding that I am where I need to be and that I'm living and enjoying every moment of my life by celebrating and living in the present.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'The Sun of Life' and Letting the Flame of Creation Burn Brightly Through You
Thursday, September 10th, 2015. Another relaxing evening watching 'Power and Politics' and CBC's 'The National'. I'm usually quite excited about following politics however, I'm ready for the campaigning to be over with and putting the whole election behind us. I guess I'm more focused on spiritual matters and our impact on nature, each other, and how I, how we can make a difference. I'm also trying to do my best and stay focused on the day job I have as I feel and strong urge to get out the road. I feel something tugging at me to get in Serenity and put her in drive and just go, go anywhere really as long as I just get moving.
I slept well and wanted to sleep more after the alarm serenaded us this morning. I find that I'm sleeping very soundly until somewhere between 4 and 5 in the morning then once I roll over and fall asleep again the active dreams kick up keeping me intrigued, entertained and partially awake so much so that I felt groggy this morning and not really eager or ready to hop out of bed but I managed to get going pretty quickly.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "19 The Sun of Life: A powerful symbol of light and fertility, the Sun of Life heralds a season blessed with joyous enlightenment, robust health and emotional harmony. As the glorious rays of cleansing sunlight spill into the shadows of your heart and life, so the warmth reaches into your very bones and energizes your spirit. It is time to let the inner sun at the core of your being shine for all to see, bringing warmth, light and harmony to others, and by doing so to connect with the consciousness of the universal mind. The Sun of Life beckons you to see beyond the noise and clatter of human reality and become aware of the vastness and generosity of the cosmic soul."
Let the cosmic energy and light that formed you shine through your heart and positively impact the world for all to see. Take a peek at the Sun of Life or even light a candle and see the flame, feel it, feel it with every atom of your being, feel it burning in your heart, feel it at the very core of your being and then let it burst through you lighting up the dark recesses of the world. Let it pour forth and inspire others to do the same.
Thank You Spirit.

The 'Eight of Bows, Hearthfire' and Celebrating With Those Near and Far
Wednesday, September 9th, 2015. I relaxed most of the evening giving time and room for some new thoughts to come to mind and a good thing to as it helped me put more concreteness to my plans. I came up with solid numbers for possible revenue generation and where I'd like some of it to come from.
Once in bed I fell asleep quickly and slept very well for quite a while however my nights are often active with dreams and last night was no different. Many dreams and none of them about work. Lying on a beach, then finding myself having left the beach and on a street amongst friend, family, and partner perhaps...thinking about having my bag on the beach on my towel that never got sand on it...discovering that my bag was gone only to realize a nice young lady wearing a beautiful hat took possession of it for safe keeping. The other dreams if there were really any I feel revolved around traveling...
The alarm sang to us way too early but I knew it was to be as I dozed knowing full well what time was approaching. It was easy to get out of bed though.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Eight of Bows, Hearthfire: Hope leads to the attainment of innermost dreams, desires and security, fuelling your soul with belief in yourself, your values and natural justice. To commune with a close fellowship of friends and family, tested and loyal to a common moral code, belief or way of life, brings a blessing. A gathering of friends and family around a place of common emotional significance, symbolism and safety is a powerful experience. It acknowledges the shared consciousness of the human spirit and the bonding experiences that evolve and grow with comrades and family, whether blood relatives or those that life has randomly thrown together. We celebrate the fact that we endure, survive and thrive and grow with the support and companionship of our chosen tribe. It is a time to be thankful and to express and receive love. It is also an emotional state of being that says: 'I revere the fire that forged these relationships and I give thanks for the love that endures through life."
Bond with kindred spirits that are all over the world and having the same thoughts as you. Many of us have family, friends, and loved one close at hand but at certain times we may feel that we need to celebrate with other likeminded individuals that may be continents away. So I say light some candles and incense and raise a glass to those people that you know are out there, that you feel in your heart and sense with your spirit, and know in your thoughts.
When I visualize a hearthfire I feel content, happy, satisfied, a great sense of wellbeing and completeness. I also feel a great appreciation for my family and my partner. It's just beyond..........words...it's quite simply better to just feel it and leave it at that.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'8 The Stag' and Our Personal and Global Responsibility
Tuesday, September 8th, 2015. The work week has started and it's made all the more bearable because I know that I'm on the right path. It's also because we booked our first camping trip in Serenity our new camper van. My path was made all the more clear with today's visiting Tarot, "8 The Stag".
Yesterday we spent the day at home and stayed close to home in our quick outing for a quick coffee and to pick up a few things we missed our weekly grocery run. The day was quiet, the evening calm and serene and a quiet visit with a friend whom dropped by so we could catch up. Then the evening quickly gave way to bedtime.
As I mentioned earlier, today's visiting Tarot is the "8 The Stag: On a personal level, some kind of adjustment or interaction has taken place. The key word here is 'responsibility'. We must, as individuals, constantly observe the rules and regulations of society, and these can fluctuate as the views and knowledge of civilization change. Whether on a political or moral level, we subconsciously know when a realignment of our perception is due. This is a time to welcome the justice that has arrived with the coming of spring and the fire of creation. Face the coming season with honesty and integrity and trust to right and appropriate action."
We've messed up our guest privileges here on this beautiful planet we call earth and we're also doing a great job of letting each other down. We must remember that our stay here is temporary and fleeting yet look at the damage we inflict on this planet let alone each other. We can only hope that we have not worn out our welcome and Gaia, Earth is not getting ready to take some action on her disrespectful and misbehaving guests.
Some of us have awoken and are hearing what once were only whispers but now are becoming louder and more discernible voices from all aspects of nature and people and parts of society that are hearing the call...change your ways, awaken, recognize who you are, and realize that you are more than thought. Heed nature's call to come home.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Queen of Stones, Bear' and Allowing Your Spirit Lead the Way
Monday, September 7th, 2015. It's nice to have a long weekend, an extra day to let go, relax, and simple 'BE'. We met my brother at the Red Wagon Cafe for brunch yesterday. We waited for about an hour to be seated as we were party of three and got bumped by parties of two or four or six even though we were on top of list. To me this is not an acceptable practice for the restaurant to take as although the food is good it in our opinion is simply not outstanding nor any better than other restaurants we've been to that seldom if ever have a line-up. The Red Wagon is busy possibly because of its appearance on 'Diner's, Drive-Ins and Dives' and reputation.
Would we go back? Not likely. The food is good however being bumped by a half dozen or more parties that came after us simply because we were a party of three isn't acceptable. But we enjoyed our visit and the food was good and the server was great!
We relaxed a little and then headed out to take in the 'Richmond World Festival' around 4:30pm. We found an empty parking lot next to the park, paid for parking then checked online to se where we had to go...only to discover that the festival was on Saturday...aarrrgggghhhhh! To drown our sorrows by getting the date wrong and missing the festival we took a quick walk around the park, got some Chinese Take-out and headed home.
Around 8:30pm, that's when I looked up at the clock, I was surprised that it was still early as I was contemplating slipping into bed. What to do to while away another hour or so...check out my developing model railroad, read a bit more, look at our camping options online...we're hitting Vancouver Island the first week of October...Nanaimo, Tofino, and Victoria...yay! And then it was off to bed around 10;30pm.
We are staying in Nanaimo at the Living Forest RV Park, in Tofino at the Bella Pacifica Campground, and in Victoria at the Westbay Marine Village. I'm excited and can hardly wait!
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Queen of Stones, Bear: Richness and plenty surround you. Your bounty and welcoming nature make you popular with all. Many depend on you, and your natural sensuality makes you powerfully attractive to others. Pragmatism and generosity open doorways at every point. Power and generosity, Punctiliousness, A demanding individual, Confidence, Frankness, Assurance, Prosperity."
When I simply let myself be and my spirit lead the way I feel more approachable, more welcoming and seem to wear a natural smile on my face and walk with a happy demeanor. I also feel better too! Even lighter and more content in and with all that I do...
...if we let our spirit's lead the way then we leave no room for our egos to take control or get in the way of our natural state of being which is to be filled and overflowing with light and love that will draw people to us so we can lead by example through our generosity and pragmatism where we use our success to help and inspire others to do the same.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The '10 of Vessels, Happiness' and How to Keep It Around
Sunday, September 6th, 2015. We decided to go for a hike yesterday morning and got on the Bunzten Lake Trail around 11 to 11:30am. It was great being out in nature, the ground was damp, the lake overflowing but the air was cool, fresh, clean and cleansing. Nearing the other end of the lake we ran into a couple of friends coming from the other way. We chatted for a bit before going our separate ways. As our friends did we decided to turn around neat the end of the lake foregoing a complete walk around the lake as it was after 12:30 and our tummies were asking for food. We were in the car and on the road and soon at our chosen eatery, Cora's in no time at all.
After satiating our hunger we hit Real Canadian Superstore and completed our weekly grocery shopping before heading home do complete few chores and then relaxed and talked about what to do during our next week of vacation in early October.
So after some discussion and a great suggestion from the partner we've decided to hit the west coast of Vancouver Island for that week with maybe a quick detour to the Pemberton area so we can finally do the Joffre Lakes hike we've talked about for years. Tofino, Long Beach, Ucluelet, and Pacific Rim National Park are on the radar screen for our stay. Having said that though, I think we'll be staying near Tofino at the Bella Pacifica Campground or possibly the Crystal Cove Resort. Bella Pacifica is likely the spot as it remains to be a more natural setting than the coiffed look of the resort and even though it's in a more natural state full hookups are available and this is what we want for our RV camping adventure.
It being such a happy, carefree and loving day yesterday I awoke feeling the same way and today's visiting Tarot reflects this, "Ten of Vessels, Happiness: With the deep and profound calm of true and lasting happiness flowing through your life, a sense of homecoming, safety and beauty shines from an individual that lights others' lives and is infectious to everyone. Healing rays of affection and warmth radiate from your inner core. For those in love, the joy is in the sharing of tender and intimate support and understanding. Giving love and seeing that love reflected in the eyes of the one you care for is the most powerful and healing magic known to mankind. For those who thrive on happiness derive from the fulfillment of ambitions and life-goals, happiness is fueled by a sense of affirmation of self-worth and ideals. Being effective and productive in the practical world brings a sense of stability which can be shared and used as a vehicle to motivate and inspire others. No greater act of humanity can be achieved than by showing the way and opening a person's heart to the possibility of happiness. However much we love, however much we achieve, we empower ourselves to be emotionally alive by accepting that the circuit of life requires giving, as well as receiving. As we revel in the bliss of the journey, we remember with gratitude the patience, wisdom, and synchronicity that brought that blessing into our lives."
We must always remember that the true fountain of happiness rises from within us. Lasting happiness will only come from the very core of our being. Don't seek it outside of yourself for it will only be fleeting and lead to disappointment and a continual search for its fleeting and temporary existence. Happiness from within is attained from being true to yourself and will radiate to all that cross your path.
Thank You Spirit.

Having said that though, I think we'll be staying near Tofino at the Bella Pacifica Campground or possibly the Crystal Cove Resort. Bella Pacifica is likely the spot as it remains to be a more natural setting than the coiffed look of the resort and even though it's in a more natural state full hookups are available and this is what we want for our RV camping adventure.
It being such a happy, carefree and loving day yesterday I awoke feeling the same way and today's visiting Tarot reflects this, "Ten of Vessels, Happiness: With the deep and profound calm of true and lasting happiness flowing through your life, a sense of homecoming, safety and beauty shines from an individual that lights others' lives and is infectious to everyone. Healing rays of affection and warmth radiate from your inner core. For those in love, the joy is in the sharing of tender and intimate support and understanding. Giving love and seeing that love reflected in the eyes of the one you care for is the most powerful and healing magic known to mankind. For those who thrive on happiness derive from the fulfillment of ambitions and life-goals, happiness is fueled by a sense of affirmation of self-worth and ideals. Being effective and productive in the practical world brings a sense of stability which can be shared and used as a vehicle to motivate and inspire others. No greater act of humanity can be achieved than by showing the way and opening a person's heart to the possibility of happiness. However much we love, however much we achieve, we empower ourselves to be emotionally alive by accepting that the circuit of life requires giving, as well as receiving. As we revel in the bliss of the journey, we remember with gratitude the patience, wisdom, and synchronicity that brought that blessing into our lives."
We must always remember that the true fountain of happiness rises from within us. Lasting happiness will only come from the very core of our being. Don't seek it outside of yourself for it will only be fleeting and lead to disappointment and a continual search for its fleeting and temporary existence. Happiness from within is attained from being true to yourself and will radiate to all that cross your path.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'O The Wanderer' and Welcoming Ourselves Into the Future
Look at what I wrote for tomorrow's date: Saturday, September 5th, 2016. It's off by a couple of days I know as September 5th, 2016 is a Monday however it's what I intended to write after it, that's intriguing. And that is this, "I'm finally living in my van, Serenity".
A reminder that I need to not merely have goals but also a timeframe in which I expect to achieve them and this is exactly what I'm going to do, which I just did.
I simply was preparing for tomorrow's journal entry...
And now it is Saturday, September 5th, 2015 and I've been awake for about an hour and a half and out of bed for an hour. I made myself a coffee, now I'm on my second cup, I lit a candle, sat down with my Wildwood Tarot, and then lost myself in the flickering flame of the candle...
...goals came into my mind, images of me living out my dreams filled me with feelings of love and completeness as other images of sitting in Serenity and losing myself in the flickering flame of another candle filled my eyes...Spirit carrying my heart into the future and asking me to take a leap of faith and meet myself there...
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "0 The Wanderer: You have come to a junction or turning point in your life. It may be an unconscious state in which you feel the tide has turned or sense something is going to happen. In a way it already has. Your spirit must move on and the desire to leap into the unknown beckons. This may mean leaving behind or giving up some baggage or burden that you have carried with you from the past. Now is the time to be clear and not let fear of falling or sad disillusion with the universe hold you back. Let your imagination carry you into a new set of possibilities. It is a time to travel hopefully and open your arms to new and challenging aspects of the universe."
Yes, the unknown, the unknown future beckons, is calling out to us to take a leap of faith, a leap of faith that is supported by unleashing our imagination and allowing it to release unlimited possibilities that carry us forward, that support our every step. Thus leading us into the future where a part of us is already there waiting to welcome us to realize what we thought would only remain a dream...
...go ahead take the leap...your future is waiting for you...
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'King of Bows, Adder' and Standing Out in the Crowd
Friday, September 4th, 2015. Another day I awoke early but only after a good night's sleep and some interesting dreams. I dreamt that I was sleeping with my dog (by the way I do not have a dog) and oddly I was using my dog sort of as a pillow. I think he or he is of a larger bread,, maybe a golden lab. And then the dream turned into me having to meet up with my family, my sister in particular and they were out of the house before I was even out of bed. I was left wondering if they'd even wait up for me.
The dream with my dog came back just before I awoke a final time and tossing and turning about a half hour before the alarm serenaded us. This dream surprised me as I was surprised that I was using my do, the dog I don't have as a pillow. Then I got to thinking about how often I gave him a bath. Then just mere moments before the alarm I was asleep again...and drat there goes the alarm...time to get up...
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is hanging around from yesterday, 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."
The word 'individuality' stands out for me today and as I tweeted moments ago, we must not be afraid to stand out in the crowd nor be afraid to be a lone voice for our inner genius and intuition will lead us to where we need to go as well as assist us in convincing others to lend us their support. Stand up and be an individual and find our own path. Stand up, create and guide the energy needed to mark and take us on the direct path where we realize our goals.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'King of Bows, Adder' and Letting Your Passions Rise Naturally to the Top
Thursday, September 3rd, 2015. I had a nice cup of 'Sleepytime' Tea last night and slept soundly until around 5:00am then tossed and turned until the alarm sounded once again at 6:00am. Surprisingly though, I left my phone out in the livingroom yet we still heard it. Perhaps, it's only because we were both not sleeping when it went off.
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."
For some reason at work I've taken on a role of responsibility and to some degree being decision maker and leader of certain aspects of the company. OF course, the owners have the final say but even they at times come to me for information, guidance and taking the lead in making a decision or two.
On a personal level I've discovered how I can steer away from distractions and lead the way in terms of how I live my life and last night in particular the last thoughts I had before falling asleep and the dreams I remember encompassed me living life from the comfort of my van, Serenity. At one point I gasped in surprise as I even dreamed about working on my model railroad in the van. There's not a lot of space in her but in my dream I was sure making the space work for me. Very cool!
When we allow ourselves to simply 'be' and our passions to naturally rise to the surface we create the energy and open ourselves up to the wisdom needed for us find the direct path that takes us to where we want and need to go.
For instance, I'm allowing my passions to find their natural home in my life and as a result I'm experiencing more energy and movement toward a life of spirit and of travel on the wondrous roads of North America.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Seven of Bows Clearance' and Refreshing Life
Wednesday, September 2, 2015. Another day arrived early for me as I awoke around 4:00am and dozed here and there mostly tossing and turning until the alarm sang out to us at 6:00am. My thoughts were all over however eventually I was able to focus more on Spirit that then allowed me to doze albeit only for minutes I'm thinking.
Spirit Is and 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."
Distractions need to be cleared away and I know how to clear them away and that is by facing them head on instead of trying to avoid them or change my focus. I welcome a good clearing out of the old and an overall cleansing of my life. I bathe in the energy of Spirit and the cosmos and allow all that I no longer need to be washed away to be replaced by the essence of spirit and energy that created fills us with the purity of life.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

Anna Maria Island, Miami Beach, Sun, Beaches, Food and Fun and of Course Tarot
Monday, August 31, 2015. That was a very relaxing and de-stressing week. We had a wonderful visit to and stay in Florida. The weather was mostly co-operative and we enjoyed many days at the beach and had many a great meal at a variety of restaurants. It's nice to be home although it feels like we came back to winter and interestingly enough the hurricanes threatening Florida both on our way down and our way back became nothing more than tropical storms mostly skirting the state. However, Vancouver on the other hand was hit by a strong windstorm that caused a lot of damage on Saturday and is today getting dumped on by heavy rainfall.
Besides having a great time in Florida I also learned things and found myself contemplating a variety of thoughts, ideas, and whatnot that was brought on by Tarot, reading books, walking on the street, losing myself at the beach, reading, as well as browsing 'The 9th Chakra' in Miami Beach. Such as focusing on 'feeling/feelings' rather than solely seeking 'knowledge'. Experience more than simply belief.
We left on Sunday, August 23rd, 2015. We slipped into bed somewhere between 10-11pm after a day of much activity: packing, a haircut, a movie and taking in some food at the Food Truck Festival on Columbia Street in New Westminster.
After much tossing and turning we got out of bed around 2:00am getting reading to head to the airport for our flight at 6:00am. We were out on the road at 2:45am and were lined up to drop off our baggage, then go through security and customs at about 3:45.
Our flight was quick and we're now in Seattle for about an hour before the next leg of our trip to Tampa.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Page of Cups. Don’t get upset if things aren’t going as you hoped. Be open to alternatives and prepare for a change of plans. Think before reacting, beware of childish behaviour. When reversed: Now is the time to be independent. Friends and coworkers may not understand your feelings. Don’t let emotions overpower you and don’t judge others too harshly. Patience wins in the end."
Patience and using our ears more than our tongues is paramount if we are to remain calm, cool and level headed.
Before leaving Vancouver a book jumped out at me so I picked it up, 'Mr Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore'. Here in Seattle barely minutes after disembarking the plane I was in the 'Wishing Stone' store buying a 'Tarot Designs Coloring Book my partner brought to my attention to. This jumped out at me as a way of becoming more intimate with the 22 Major Arcana cards.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
On Monday, August 24th, 2015, the "IX of Wands. Fight for and hold onto what you believe. Your projects are near completion; relaxation is at hand. Victory soon arrives. Luck comes to children. When reversed: Be prepared and aware of the ruler of the game. Arrogance creates obstacles. Rid yourself of self-pity and anxiety. Tend to your health."
I believe and trust in myself, I respect myself and chose to hold onto what I believe.
We arrived at our destination, Cedar Cove Resort in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island, in the dark but upon awaking around 7:30am local time I walked down to the beach and was welcomed by the soothing energy of 'Anna Maria Island' here in the beautiful state of Florida.
Watching the birds search for food as frolic in the water is a great way to let the stress in/of our lives melt away. Lying on my back and floating freely in the water gently rocked by the waves allows time, place, and body to disappear so all that is left is the pure energy of the cosmos, of Spirit.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
On Tuesday, August 25th, 2015, the "VIII of Wands. All your plans have a green light. Move ahead. Your understanding of people and their problems delivers opportunities to get what you want. Friends and nature bring remedies for what ails you. When reversed: Your energy is scattered. Think before you act. Don’t ignore the chain of command."
Spirit is giving me the 'green light' to move ahead with my plans. The cosmic energy is there to assist me in working with others so that through them I succeed and through me they succeed. The dynamics are there for me to prove myself thus gaining support as well as supporters.
On Wednesday, August 26, 2015, I wrote...we're having a great time here in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island. The only thing we would like is a little more freedom to do our own stuff but overall we are quite enjoying our stay.
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."
Be humble and allow our spirits to soar. My short term goal is to slowly transition living my life out of my van, Serenity followed by transitioning to a spiritual and online career.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
For Thursday, August, 27, 2015, 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."
Happiness comes through humility and determination. Seek your future, build your future with a determined force and energy knowing that your will and strength are empowered through the loving presence and guidance of Spirit.
My passions are real and accepted as they are. I express my passions as I represent them and as they represent me. Pursuing my passions creates a forward thinking and forward motion that carries me into my future, the future of many dreams abd desires. Love is the greatest energy of all and I love as Spirit LOVES.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
On Friday, August 28th, we had our first full day in Miami Beach and today's visiting Tarot is the "IX of Pentacles. Look for opportunities to develop your creative potential and to prove what you can do. Start now! The time for paybacks and rewards is quickly approaching, but it will only come if you strive for success. When reversed: Plan carefully for whatever you hope to achieve right now. Don’t assume that everything will work out just as expected, and don’t be afraid to ask for help."
Opportunities for success are swirling around us, grab hold of one and allow it to carry you toward your goals.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Then on Saturday, August 29th our last full day in Miami I wrote, today's visiting Tarot, "XIX The Sun. Any personal growth you achieve now will be linked to self-expression. Say what you feel when you feel it. Accept criticism and admit mistakes. Enthusiasm and self-assurance bring results. A promotion is on the horizon. When reversed: Relationship hassles are likely. Don’t get wrapped up in yourself so tightly that you ignore your partner’s or others’ needs. Stop being overly dramatic. Set goals realistically and try to do what’s good for all parties involved."
Enthusiastic self-expression is the key today. Be yourself and be self-assured in all you say and do and don't be afraid of a little criticism...accept it and move on.
Somewhere along the way I believe at Miami International Airport, Sunday, August 30th, the visiting Tarot is the "IX of Pentacles. Look for opportunities to develop your creative potential and to prove what you can do. Start now! The time for paybacks and rewards is quickly approaching, but it will only come if you strive for success. When reversed: Plan carefully for whatever you hope to achieve right now. Don’t assume that everything will work out just as expected, and don’t be afraid to ask for help."
As I strive toward achieving more and more of my goals, Spirit is rewarding me with the success of experiencing my dreams and goals in the here and now.
As I continue to recognize and identify as Wizard Oron as well as develop the lives, personalities, and characteristics of Edith and Eugene Tokalot and we go about our spiritual and RVing adventures, the energy of our desires and efforts build upon themselves. This bountiful and cosmically charged energy allows us to experience our determined and purposeful goals today.
These last few days in Miami have allowed us to witness and experience the macrocosm and microcosm of life in Miami as well as the ups and downs or the boom and bust of the 'American Dream'. It reminds us to thankful and always show gratitude for the lives we live and lead and where we find ourselves today.
As I take up my purpose for the betterment of mankind through inspiring people to Be more than they believe they can be, Spirit, the cosmos strengthen, encourage and propel me forward as I live, travel and earn a living from traversing the roads of North America in my van, Serenity.
I reach into the past with reverence and respect and allow the voices of antiquity teach me, enlighten me, fill me with the power and energy of life.
Travelling in and working from my van awakens my heart and soul and with each person I meet and inspire, as they inspire me I grow and become rich in life, in heart, mind, body and soul.
Thank You Spirit.
Monday, August 31st, 2015. I had a work day today, not my favourite way of ending a vacation as we usually plan our vacations so we have a day of relaxation at home before heading to work. But I managed just fine today as I received a warm welcome upon my return to this job and besides I had a fairly light workday as well.
Thankfully, our travel day was rather relaxing yesterday and I slept well so this combined with my being with Spirit on a daily basis made for a good day today. Feeling and knowing Spirit combined with knowing that my future is unfolding each day in the direction I wish to be going creates a enriching energy for the day.
Today's visiting Tarot is the "King of Arrows, Kingfisher: You may need to exercise judgement, power, force of will. The king is impartial and helps you see clearly what you no longer need to hold onto. Use your strength to cut yourself free of what weighs you down. Intelligence, Strength, Watchfulness, Counselling, The ability to judge true from false."
Tonight, I'm using "force of will" to complete this, my daily writing that I've been absent from for a week. I even think I used it today to get up and get to and through the work day. I even realize now as I contemplate the "King of Arrows" that I know what I must also move away from and not necessarily things that weigh me down but the way I behave the odd time as well as the time I sometimes waste when I'm alone. Instead of allowing myself to waste time with some frivolous activities, I will now use these activities to raise energy and do a bit of magick.
Oh, and as I sign off here I'll let you that I'll post this to my blogs tomorrow as I'm tired and off to bed now...
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Tuesday, September 1, 2015. A restful sleep last night but awoke early and although I tried to focus on spiritual matters such as Wizard Oron, Tarot, Crystals, Intuition and what not my mind was distracted by other thoughts that kept creeping in...work, friends, and anything else that I didn't want to think about. But I eventually drifted off back to sleep, lightly mind you and then it was time to get up.
I awoke with the thought of how much I like to awake early on the weekends so I can be with Spirit and Tarot and how I dislike awaking early to go my job. As I arrived at my desk, my thought was that I was only there for the paycheque nothing more but now as I think about that thought and reflect on it I see how untrue that statement is. Do I want to spend a lot of time at this job? No, but While I'm there I'm doing my best to have a positive influence and impact on the company, it's the very least I can do.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Five of Arrows. Frustration: Frustration is the enemy of any pursuit that requires self-control and stillness. It can be frustrating to hear rumours or lies spread but the cool and level-headed hunter will not be distracted by such trivia. It may take some practice to understand that anything that takes emotional focus away from achieving a real and deserved goal is just that: a distraction. If others are attempting to cause such distractions, you will only feed their ego and help their cause by reacting and acknowledging their efforts. Take a deep breath and steady your mind and see clearly what the goal is. Sometimes, humour can defuse and deflect the effects of frustration. Take a moment to laugh at yourself and see the irony in situations that cause such distractions. See the futility of games played against you to frustrate your efforts and coolly go about your business with a mature and steady intention. Frustration is ungrounded energy that works against you and is better deployed in resolving your own challenges. Take time to steady your aim and ignore your detractors. Stay on target and loose your arrows at your goals with a cool and purposeful precision."
Distraction is the word of the day. And for me, it's not the distractions of others that's the problem it's the self-created distractions that are causing me the most pain. However, now that I've written the idea of self-created distractions down I realized that I can use those distractions to raise energy and create magick as I wrote yesterday as I recollected our trip down to Florida. Additionally, I can then refocus my that energy and magick to realize my goals not far off into the future but more so in the here and now.
Although, one distraction that came to mind that I ignored until the last second was to pop into Banyen Books and Sound on my way back to the office from a service call and I'm glad I did as I found some more crystals and stones that will round out my current collection and one of them being 'chrysophase' that promotes the imagination and draws out unknown or hidden talents. Interestingly enough when I read about this in 'Circle' magazine, teaching came to mind...the other stones I picked up are: blue celestite (develop psychic gifts of prophecy, clairaudience, clairsentience), prehnite (connect to beings on the higher spiritual planes, and enhances spiritual growth), silver blue topaz (aid spiritual communication, help writers block, inspire creativity & enhanced public speaking) and unakite (opening your psychic vision).
So, it's worth the effort to be mindful of the distractions that come into our lives and analyze them as best we can so we can determine as to which ones to brush off and ignore and those that are worth paying attention to.
Thank You Spirit.

I believe and trust in myself, I respect myself and chose to hold onto what I believe.
We arrived at our destination, Cedar Cove Resort in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island, in the dark but upon awaking around 7:30am local time I walked down to the beach and was welcomed by the soothing energy of 'Anna Maria Island' here in the beautiful state of Florida.
Watching the birds search for food as frolic in the water is a great way to let the stress in/of our lives melt away. Lying on my back and floating freely in the water gently rocked by the waves allows time, place, and body to disappear so all that is left is the pure energy of the cosmos, of Spirit.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
On Tuesday, August 25th, 2015, the "VIII of Wands. All your plans have a green light. Move ahead. Your understanding of people and their problems delivers opportunities to get what you want. Friends and nature bring remedies for what ails you. When reversed: Your energy is scattered. Think before you act. Don’t ignore the chain of command."
Spirit is giving me the 'green light' to move ahead with my plans. The cosmic energy is there to assist me in working with others so that through them I succeed and through me they succeed. The dynamics are there for me to prove myself thus gaining support as well as supporters.
On Wednesday, August 26, 2015, I wrote...we're having a great time here in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island. The only thing we would like is a little more freedom to do our own stuff but overall we are quite enjoying our stay.
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."
Be humble and allow our spirits to soar. My short term goal is to slowly transition living my life out of my van, Serenity followed by transitioning to a spiritual and online career.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
For Thursday, August, 27, 2015, 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."
Happiness comes through humility and determination. Seek your future, build your future with a determined force and energy knowing that your will and strength are empowered through the loving presence and guidance of Spirit.
My passions are real and accepted as they are. I express my passions as I represent them and as they represent me. Pursuing my passions creates a forward thinking and forward motion that carries me into my future, the future of many dreams abd desires. Love is the greatest energy of all and I love as Spirit LOVES.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
On Friday, August 28th, we had our first full day in Miami Beach and today's visiting Tarot is the "IX of Pentacles. Look for opportunities to develop your creative potential and to prove what you can do. Start now! The time for paybacks and rewards is quickly approaching, but it will only come if you strive for success. When reversed: Plan carefully for whatever you hope to achieve right now. Don’t assume that everything will work out just as expected, and don’t be afraid to ask for help."
Opportunities for success are swirling around us, grab hold of one and allow it to carry you toward your goals.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Then on Saturday, August 29th our last full day in Miami I wrote, today's visiting Tarot, "XIX The Sun. Any personal growth you achieve now will be linked to self-expression. Say what you feel when you feel it. Accept criticism and admit mistakes. Enthusiasm and self-assurance bring results. A promotion is on the horizon. When reversed: Relationship hassles are likely. Don’t get wrapped up in yourself so tightly that you ignore your partner’s or others’ needs. Stop being overly dramatic. Set goals realistically and try to do what’s good for all parties involved."
Enthusiastic self-expression is the key today. Be yourself and be self-assured in all you say and do and don't be afraid of a little criticism...accept it and move on.
Somewhere along the way I believe at Miami International Airport, Sunday, August 30th, the visiting Tarot is the "IX of Pentacles. Look for opportunities to develop your creative potential and to prove what you can do. Start now! The time for paybacks and rewards is quickly approaching, but it will only come if you strive for success. When reversed: Plan carefully for whatever you hope to achieve right now. Don’t assume that everything will work out just as expected, and don’t be afraid to ask for help."
As I strive toward achieving more and more of my goals, Spirit is rewarding me with the success of experiencing my dreams and goals in the here and now.
As I continue to recognize and identify as Wizard Oron as well as develop the lives, personalities, and characteristics of Edith and Eugene Tokalot and we go about our spiritual and RVing adventures, the energy of our desires and efforts build upon themselves. This bountiful and cosmically charged energy allows us to experience our determined and purposeful goals today.
These last few days in Miami have allowed us to witness and experience the macrocosm and microcosm of life in Miami as well as the ups and downs or the boom and bust of the 'American Dream'. It reminds us to thankful and always show gratitude for the lives we live and lead and where we find ourselves today.
As I take up my purpose for the betterment of mankind through inspiring people to Be more than they believe they can be, Spirit, the cosmos strengthen, encourage and propel me forward as I live, travel and earn a living from traversing the roads of North America in my van, Serenity.
I reach into the past with reverence and respect and allow the voices of antiquity teach me, enlighten me, fill me with the power and energy of life.
Travelling in and working from my van awakens my heart and soul and with each person I meet and inspire, as they inspire me I grow and become rich in life, in heart, mind, body and soul.
Thank You Spirit.
Monday, August 31st, 2015. I had a work day today, not my favourite way of ending a vacation as we usually plan our vacations so we have a day of relaxation at home before heading to work. But I managed just fine today as I received a warm welcome upon my return to this job and besides I had a fairly light workday as well.
Thankfully, our travel day was rather relaxing yesterday and I slept well so this combined with my being with Spirit on a daily basis made for a good day today. Feeling and knowing Spirit combined with knowing that my future is unfolding each day in the direction I wish to be going creates a enriching energy for the day.
Today's visiting Tarot is the "King of Arrows, Kingfisher: You may need to exercise judgement, power, force of will. The king is impartial and helps you see clearly what you no longer need to hold onto. Use your strength to cut yourself free of what weighs you down. Intelligence, Strength, Watchfulness, Counselling, The ability to judge true from false."
Tonight, I'm using "force of will" to complete this, my daily writing that I've been absent from for a week. I even think I used it today to get up and get to and through the work day. I even realize now as I contemplate the "King of Arrows" that I know what I must also move away from and not necessarily things that weigh me down but the way I behave the odd time as well as the time I sometimes waste when I'm alone. Instead of allowing myself to waste time with some frivolous activities, I will now use these activities to raise energy and do a bit of magick.
Oh, and as I sign off here I'll let you that I'll post this to my blogs tomorrow as I'm tired and off to bed now...
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Tuesday, September 1, 2015. A restful sleep last night but awoke early and although I tried to focus on spiritual matters such as Wizard Oron, Tarot, Crystals, Intuition and what not my mind was distracted by other thoughts that kept creeping in...work, friends, and anything else that I didn't want to think about. But I eventually drifted off back to sleep, lightly mind you and then it was time to get up.
I awoke with the thought of how much I like to awake early on the weekends so I can be with Spirit and Tarot and how I dislike awaking early to go my job. As I arrived at my desk, my thought was that I was only there for the paycheque nothing more but now as I think about that thought and reflect on it I see how untrue that statement is. Do I want to spend a lot of time at this job? No, but While I'm there I'm doing my best to have a positive influence and impact on the company, it's the very least I can do.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Five of Arrows. Frustration: Frustration is the enemy of any pursuit that requires self-control and stillness. It can be frustrating to hear rumours or lies spread but the cool and level-headed hunter will not be distracted by such trivia. It may take some practice to understand that anything that takes emotional focus away from achieving a real and deserved goal is just that: a distraction. If others are attempting to cause such distractions, you will only feed their ego and help their cause by reacting and acknowledging their efforts. Take a deep breath and steady your mind and see clearly what the goal is. Sometimes, humour can defuse and deflect the effects of frustration. Take a moment to laugh at yourself and see the irony in situations that cause such distractions. See the futility of games played against you to frustrate your efforts and coolly go about your business with a mature and steady intention. Frustration is ungrounded energy that works against you and is better deployed in resolving your own challenges. Take time to steady your aim and ignore your detractors. Stay on target and loose your arrows at your goals with a cool and purposeful precision."
Distraction is the word of the day. And for me, it's not the distractions of others that's the problem it's the self-created distractions that are causing me the most pain. However, now that I've written the idea of self-created distractions down I realized that I can use those distractions to raise energy and create magick as I wrote yesterday as I recollected our trip down to Florida. Additionally, I can then refocus my that energy and magick to realize my goals not far off into the future but more so in the here and now.
Although, one distraction that came to mind that I ignored until the last second was to pop into Banyen Books and Sound on my way back to the office from a service call and I'm glad I did as I found some more crystals and stones that will round out my current collection and one of them being 'chrysophase' that promotes the imagination and draws out unknown or hidden talents. Interestingly enough when I read about this in 'Circle' magazine, teaching came to mind...the other stones I picked up are: blue celestite (develop psychic gifts of prophecy, clairaudience, clairsentience), prehnite (connect to beings on the higher spiritual planes, and enhances spiritual growth), silver blue topaz (aid spiritual communication, help writers block, inspire creativity & enhanced public speaking) and unakite (opening your psychic vision).
So, it's worth the effort to be mindful of the distractions that come into our lives and analyze them as best we can so we can determine as to which ones to brush off and ignore and those that are worth paying attention to.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
