The 'Ten of Swords' and Taking Control of My Life Back

Saturday, June 25, 2016.  Last night I had the idea that I'd head out this morning and sit on a park bench overlooking the Fraser River.  However, when I awoke and contemplated this idea I knew I should simply stay in and focus more on being with Spirit and Tarot this morning.

Last night I had dreams about my model railroad and a crazy track plan that simply would not work.  This dream stayed with me awhile.  Then I was dreaming about talking to spirit's maybe not me specifically but perhaps a woman that was talking to her husband that passed on.  She was embarrassed by this however I did my best to let her know that I, was it really me, also talked to spirits.  Then either my sister or partner appeared in the picture and then the dream disappeared into a mist when the woman was mentioning how engaged the two of us have been with each other.

I donned my ritual garb, lit a candle and incense and sat at my working altar.  I picked up the Pagan Tarot and shuffled the cards as my eyes closed and the flickering candle flame and smoking incense carried me into the ether...

...today's Tarot Energy is the "Ten of Swords: Determined to spend no more sleepless nights, our Witch takes on her problems head on.  The broken swords represent problems or situations that needed handling.  Some need to be broken down for easier handling, some needed to be thrown in the garbage.  She has learned that she has far more control over her life than she ever realized.  You, too, have control over your life and the way you think about and approach things.  Whether external circumstances control you and your happiness is up to you.  How much power are you willing to give other people or insignificant situations?  Magick is largely intent or will.  Make up your mind to be strong and in control of your life and your magick."

The "Ten of Swords" is really highlighting "How much power are you willing to give other people or insignificant situations?  Magick is largely intent or will.  Make up your mind to be strong and in control of your life and your magick."

I'm taking of life and magick back.  This belongs to me and me only.  No one else needs such control over me nor should they ever have it.  My life and my happiness must always be determined by me as happiness really does emanate from within us.  If I'm unhappy or even bored this has more to do with me than anything outside of myself.  Since I'm in control and have control over my life, I choose to be happy and realistically it's not even a choice, happiness just is when one is truly connected with Spirit.

Thank You Spirit.

Namaste.
