The Novice of Swords and III The Empress Strive for Prosperity But Without Sacrifice and Neglect

I got so wrapped up in other things last night that I forgot to come back here to my writing.  I guess it's the late dinner we had as my partner hosted some co-workers for afternoon coffee, drinks, and desserts.  By the time dinner was done and we had our showers I was in a different frame of mind and got onto other things like running a locomotive around my model railroad layout a few times, reading a book I rediscovered on the bookshelves as well as reading a little bit about my latest Tarot purchase, the Golden Dawn.  I do indeed like this deck.  Then I decided to grab the Shaman deck and read a little more about it too!  Another deck I'll enjoy working with for sure.

Spirit Is and today's Pagan Tarot Energy is the "Novice of Swords" (The suit of Swords and its corresponding element, Air, is masculine and intellectually oriented, so a youthful male with blond hair represents this Novice.  He wears along yellow robe and hematite necklace.  He intently examines a ritual dagger and burning incense.  A cardinal perches in a nearby tree.  This Novice can be someone with a goal in sight and who pursues it very single-mindedly.  He can accomplish much very quickly and extremely well.  However, he can be so focused that he misses changing developments, thereby going full steam ahead without considering a change of plan.) and "III The Empress" (All abundance is possible if we focus on what we can bring to ourselves and remember most of all that it is the life we create for ourselves, and those we love that matters most. Put out positive energy, and accept that everything good is possible for us.)

These two cards together, the "Novice of Swords" and "III The Empress" bring very strong "drawing to us" energy into our day.  We can create and bring to us the life we want the goals we wish to achieve.  But we're also made aware that we should remain open-minded and flexible as well as keep our focus on living positive lives where the kind of life we live as well what we create for our loved ones should be our top priority.  Bringing abundance into our lives should not require sacrifice or neglect.

Thank You Spirit.

Friday, December 2, 2016.  Friends visiting is always a nice thing even though it interrupts or better put postpones one's routine.  Such as my reflections and writings about each day's Tarot Energy.

Last night was no different.  A friend popped by for a quick visit so our usual night of doing what we do, mostly what each of us loves to do is put aside so we can visit and enjoy each other's company...always a good thing to make time for friends.

Spirit Is and yesterday's Tarot Energy was 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."

Today's Tarot Energy is the "Six of Swords: Unlike the imagined or overly dramatized tragedy in the Three of Swords, in this card we see an actual tragedy.  Something has gone horribly wrong.  Destruction is unavoidable.  Luckily, our Witch and her young man are escaping before any harm befalls them.  They are leaving a terrible situation and heading for a better place.  Unfortunately, you're facing something that is unpleasant and probably going to get worse.  You may want to gather your belongings and head for a safer harbour.  This could refer to many situations...including physical danger, an unhealthy relationship, or an unproductive way of thinking."

Thank You Spirit.
