The Pagan 'Six of Chalices' and the Wildwood 'Ten of Bows'

Saturday, October 1, 2016.  Awoke with Tarot and Spirit in mind and both the Pagan and Wildwood Tarot were calling for attention this morning so today is a two card Tarot Card kind of Day.

First we have from the Pagan Tarot, the "Six of Chalices: In a happy, playful reversal of roles, our Witch's daughter sets up her afternoon tea party.  She makes sure everyone (dolls included!) has a cup of flowers before the event can begin.  There is a gentle, sweet, carefree feel to the entire scene.  Take the time for little kindnesses toward those around you.  Making people feel comfortable or pleasantly surprised or pampered makes situations and emotions flow smoothly.  Don't shun small gestures as childish or a waste of time...these small efforts are often what touch people the most."

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

Today is a day to extend all sorts of kindnesses to others as well as to graciously accept the responsibilities thrust upon us whether at home, work, or play.  People look to us as examples of what it is and what it means to be kind and loving as well as how to handle and take our responsibilities seriously and to heart.  People know that life is important to us and that we strive to always treat others with the love and respect they deserve as well as to do our best to make good things happen with the responsibilities given us.

People believe in us so we should also believe in ourselves.

Thank You Spirit.
