The "King of Stones, Wolf" and Moving Toward a New Career, My Own Career

Coffee with some friends mid-afternoon and then dinner downtown again with some other friends early evening.  However, they were a bit behind schedule so dinner was not served until almost 8:00pm so we had a later night with them than we thought we would.  And then we all decided on watching a movie that we all wanted to see that has long since come and gone from the theatre, Julieta by Pedro Almodóvar.

In bed late again but at least I slept in this morning.  I wanted to see if I could sleep longer but some internal mechanism or perhaps spiritual entity was nudging to get the heck out of bed so I did.

Spirit Is and today's Wildwood Tarot Energy is the "King of Stones, Wolf: Love of the land and of the natural world guides much of what you do.  You look often to the wisdom of others and to traditional values to colour your life choices.  Security brings pleasure; loyalty crowns every endeavour.  Trading, speculation, Mathematical ability, Loyalty and conservation, Steadfastness,  Robust health, Determination."

I'm doing my best to be guided by the land and the natural world through a close and intimate connection and relationship with Spirit, with all that is, was and always ever will be.  And as part of this I see that instead of leaving a job I must instead head toward my most cherished and passionate career as a Spiritual Tarot Intuitive, offering up Intuitive Tarot for all that seek something more.

One way I want to strengthen my relationship with Spirit as well as immerse myself in my new career is to get out and immerse myself in nature more through some good old fashioned tent camping.  And it almost seems right to do this throughout the summer months, June through September come to mind.  Interesting thoughts entering my mind...almost rustic camping along with the mobile technology we have at our fingertips...bringing nature home to those who might not want to or who cannot or do not have the means to enjoy nature as I plan to do starting this summer or so is my tentative plan.

Thank You Spirit.

Peace Lily in Bloom and a Coffee Plant

Taking a break from blogging and sharing so much of myself online but here are a few photos of our Peace Lily in bloom.

Oh, and here is our new plant, a Coffee Plant that I've since my last one died after lack of care by a former roommate who didn't water it.  And in four to six years it should be producing coffee beans!

The "Guide of Cups" Wants Us to Nourish Our Hearts by Being True To Ourselves

Mid-week already.  Thank goodness.  Hopefully, a bit of sunny weather will be with us on the weekend or at more dry weather as it sure would be nice to be able to the outdoors more.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “Guide of Cups: Messages from your heart.  Altruism.”

My heart is telling me to be true to myself and this is the best way I can help others and fulfil my altruistic tendencies.  Even as I was going about fulfilling the requirements of the job today, Tarot Cards, Spirit, being Wizard Oron filled my thoughts and daydreams.  I had visions of myself engaging with others as we explored the mysteries of Tarot together, as Spirit played teacher guiding us and helping us to understand and appreciated the knowledge and wisdom being handed to us through the cards.

Listen to your heart today, let your heart steer your thoughts and mind toward the purity of life and existence as known by Spirit, by the cosmos, by the energy that fills the universe, by our truest and deepest selves.  Be spirit and let your heart and life soar today!

Thank You Spirit.

'III The Protector" and Bringing Projects to Fruition

Castles and monolithic structures filled my dreams last night.  In both dreams a bunch of us were wanting to enter the buildings.  In both cases a man was perhaps giving a speech or telling us how we could gain access to the buildings.  In one dream people were standing in front of the building at the base of towering concrete stairs in the other it was through a small backdoor.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is “III The Protector:  Nurturing others is good practice for nurturing oneself.  Parental instincts.  Maintaining a home or a positive environment.  Bringing a project to fruition."

"Bringing a project to fruition" is the standout energy of the day today.  Fruition, completion but by no means something coming to an end but rather to a point of success and continuing prosperity and abundance.

And how is this possible?  With focus and energy dedicated to your singular goal and desire...focus on and achieve one thing at a time, don't scatter your energies.  This has been my problem all of these years---multiple goals.  Yes, they kind of revolve around the same thing, freedom in the road in an RV but I can't achieve anything if I'm dilly-dallying in everything and merely spinning my wheels and going nowhere fast.

So for now it is all about Tarot.  I'm a Tarot Intuitive and I want to read the cards for you.  More specifically I want to see the synergy that exists between you, the cards, and Spirit and assist you in understanding where your life is at now and where it can be tomorrow through looking at and understanding this synergy.

Thank You Spirit.

"0 The Fool" and Opening Our Eyes Through Self-Discovery

As I wished the night seemed to stretch on much longer than the usual 7 hours of sleep we get most nights.  But still when the alarm serenaded us yet again I simply wanted to remain in bed.

We decided to go out and enjoy the mostly sunny day yesterday and headed back to a place we've been to several times before and that is Centennial Beach in Delta.  They have trails that meander along the shore or that take you slightly inland where one might catch glimpses of the many migratory birds that make a stop here when flying between Siberia and South America.  We saw a lot of crows, a couple of hawks, a few red-winged blackbirds, ducks, sandpipers and the ever present seagulls.

It was a beautiful day that I really enjoyed and needed as the job really brings be down and I quite detest it and make no apologies for feeling this way.  I no longer suit or fit this type of work nor does the job fit or suit me any longer.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is “0 The Fool: Accepting and exploring one's sexual identity is a journey of self-discovery. Beginning a new and exciting venture.  Going beyond the limits of social convention.  A non-conformist.”

I'm drawn to the phrase "self-discovery" as yesterday I was apologizing to Spirit for not following many of the paths laid out before me, for not doing better for myself, of letting Spirit down.  As sleep came upon my and dreams filled my mind last night I felt a sense of healing, forgiveness, of being given another chance, of having another path to follow.  Another path but one that has led me to the same goals and dreams I've had for many years, success perhaps no more than a one sleep away.

Self-discovery is a great way for us to open doors for ourselves, clear our minds, find solutions that seemed impossible to find or to really know what we want to achieve in our lives, or what to expect from our lives or what we really expect from life.  Self-discovery is necessary for us to get to know who we really are and then build on that knowledge.  For knowing one's self is the only way to live a truly purposeful and prosperous life.

Thank You Spirit.

"VII The Chariot", Embracing the Energy of Movement and Success Freely Given from Spirit

Another day of completing the spring cleaning of the storage locker, taking everything to the appropriate places for donation or disposal.

We also took care of our weekly grocery run, lunch, and afternoon walk before staying in and relaxing for the rest of the day.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is, as chosen by Spirit as it caught some air and floated down to the floor from the deck is "VII The Chariot: Among the highs and lows of life, make sure you enjoy the highs.  At the top of one's game.  Seizing an opportunity.  Having everything under control (barely)."

Hhhmmm...another card about successful possibilities and action.  The energy for movement and action is strong and all since I re-invigorated my spiritual activities, actions and behaviour that is also enmeshed in my plans to go out and enjoy nature more whether with my partner or by myself.  I need to go camping an immerse myself in nature as much as I can as this is something that is welling up from inside of me, from the very depths and core of my being so I must follow through and take what actions are necessary to immerse myself in the great outdoors as much as possible.

I am Wizard Oron, a Tarot Intuitive providing Intuitive Tarot services to those who seek them.  Although I specialise in Gay Tarot this is not my one and only deck.  I have many decks which I use and interact with regularly such as Pagan, Whimsical (from the Tarot Kit), Wildwood, Thoth, and Tarot (Tarot in a Box).  And I'm getting to know and learn about and from the Golden Dawn and Shaman decks.

And in one way or another I'm writing a book or two and that's all I'll say on this matter.

So today, "VII The Chariot" is once again bringing out and along with it the energy of possibilities and success but it's up to us to harness and take advantage of this energy that is so freely given to us.  So take advantage of this day and move on your dreams and goals, bring them beyond mere thoughts and get them out here in the physical world and make them a reality.

Thank You Spirit.

Saturday, April 15, 2017 "VII The Spinning Shield"

Relaxed a good part of yesterday even though we did some spring cleaning of the other storage locker, one that I'll have to keep for a while longer. Still a few things I'm not ready to part with as well as we need a place to store the seasonal tires. And we also put back in the locker all of the camping gear we had in Serenity. Oh, the camping stove is being recycled though, it's become a rusty mess.

After craving sushi for the past couple of weeks I decided that we should go out and have some so that's what we did, not a difficult task since our old standby sushi place, Ki Sushi is barely a block away. I really enjoyed my "Sushi Dinner".

And after dinner we watched about an hour of "Blade Runner: the Director's Cut". Didn't remember that the time period for the movie is 2019. So far I'm enjoying the movie.

Spirit Is and today's Shaman Tarot Energy is "VII The Spinning Shield: Nothing exists outside of this, life, death, or rebirth. Successful action. Awareness in guiding one's own energies. Physical and mental voyages."I need to reflect and contemplate "VII The Spinning Shield" for a bit since it is a new deck and one I have not worked with very much so I'm only picking faint energy, images and intuitions from it. Although, my eyes and energies are drawn to the phrases:

"Successful action."

Could the successful action be selling Serenity back to the dealership, writing a book, or getting back into nature through camping, my spiritual career or otherwise. As it is in nature where I desire to be.

"Awareness in guiding one's own energies."

I can, should, and must be responsible and take responsibility for guiding my own energies. I can direct and guide my energies and thus my life in any way or manner I wish. I am full of success and welcome and accept the bountiful energy, prosperity, and abundance of Spirit and the Universe into my life. Thus so then the successful action in my life is driven by me and my relationship with life, with Spirit, and with the Universe.

"Physical and mental voyages."

Such voyages are taking place now both in my dreams and here in the physical world. Voyages that are affected by, created and guided by my own thoughts and actions as well as my reactions to the world around me...and from Spirit too!

Thank You Spirit.

Three Card of the Day Spread: "V The Priest", "6 of Swords", and "Youth of Wands"

Went out to celebrate a friend's birthday last night and had good times.  Didn't know what to expect really but even though the place (Colony Bar Main) had the TVs on where the NHL Playoff games were in full swing we got to enjoy each other's company, the food and the overall celebration.  Then some us headed to Denny's to have dessert.

Spirit Is and today's Three Card of the Day Spread and Gay Tarot Energy is:

Card For the Day: “V The Priest: The best way to help others is to help them make their own decisions.  Wisdom.  Advice.  A ceremony or ritual.”

A reminder that we are here to advise or convince people to think a certain way or to make decisions based on what we think.  We need to ensure that they feel empowered and confident enough to think about situations and make decisions on their own.  We need to encourage them to make decisions that are well thought out and live with and by them regardless of the outcome of such decisions as every decision may not lead to the outcome or desire we expect it to.  I'm sure that we've all made decisions that have turned sideways on us.  And the best way to deal with this is to accept it and carry on...to find another solution.

Attend to This: “6 of Swords: Peaceful Recovery.  Serenity and the passage of time help to heal wounds.  Stormy emotions are given time to subside, allowing a plan for a solution.”

Feeling a bit blue today, perhaps?  Let your "blue" feelings wend their way through your mind.  Don't resist feeling "blue", just let yourself be for a spell, let Spirit fill you, let time work its magic and your "blues" should fade away.  We all feel "blue" once in awhile so don't fret, maybe stare out the window and give way, allow yourself to daydream a little.

What to Look Out For: “Youth of Wands: Focusing attention on something.  Reaching for a goal from a possibly unsteady foundation.”

Patience is required as many us are chasing after our dreams and many a time we do so before we've prepared a solid foundation on which to build our dreams.  So take a step back, look over your plans, and redesign them if you will so that your reaching for them from more solid ground.  It's better create and build your dreams on something solid so they can grow, evolve and become what you want them to be without fear of them collapsing because of a shaky foundation.

So how do these three cards fit together today?  "V The Priest", the "6 of Swords" and the "Youth of Wands"?

We have to realise that we are solely responsible and accountable for our own lives.  That we have to think things through and make our decisions, we cannot pass this responsibility onto anyone else except ourselves.  We have to accept this responsibility regardless of how it makes us feel and if we are feeling blue over this we must take a break and let our blue feelings subside, subsiding and likely revealing a solution to our dilemmas that we never thought about.  A solution that may become the solid foundation on which to build the fulfilment of our dreams and desires.

Think about it.  You'll have something to be proud of and something you did all on your own.  Take ownership of your life, your feelings and the pursuit and attainment of your dreams and desires.  No one else can and no one else should do this for you.  Your life is your own and yours to live so don't shirk your responsibilities by trying to place it onto someone else,  This is just so you have an excuse and someone to blame other than yourself if things don't go the way you want them to.

Remember, trying and stumbling and falling down is just the precursor to getting up and trying again.  Live your life, consciously and proactively live your life and see what a difference it can make.

Thank You Spirit.

The "Ace of Wands" and Feeling the Creating Energy of the Universe

Slept very well last night.  Bringing different aspects of spirituality back into my life is surely the reason why.  I even had dreams about this...also dreams about creating my own postcards that I plan to drop off at a one or two locations in the Davie Village business district of Vancouver.  Very cool.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “Ace of Wands: A creative inspiration. The beginning of a project or venture.”

"A creative inspiration" is what stands out for me today.  Alluded to by the dreams I had about making postcards for myself.  A creative idea that is helping me to further fine-tune my Intuitive Tarot offerings.  So cool!

Creative energy fills our space here in our homey little condo.  So much creative energy that I've also taken a peek at my model railroad to fine-tune a section of bridge where it meets land.  Extra cool!

Today is a day where you can create magick and pretty much literally pull things out of a hat.  Go ahead and give it a try.  You never know, it just might work.  Oh, make sure it's a magick hat first.  It's up to you to make things happen.  The time is right for new possibilities and/or getting a much desired and long sought after project off the ground.

You gotta get moving!

Thank You Spirit.

The "2 of Swords" and Taking Baby Steps Toward Executing on a Decision

A realisation that I am a Tarot Intuitive so a career in offering Tarot Intuitive service to people is my natural choice as a new career.  And as I said out loud and to myself as I was driving out of the parking lot to go to a job that no longer suits me, "I quit effective immediately" since I offer Intuitive Tarot and this is how I earn my keep.

That being said I just applied for another career possibility.  I need to keep myself open to other possibilities in addition to working as a Tarot Intuitive as one never knows what and where Spirit might take us as we open ourselves up new and exciting possibilities and opportunities.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “2 of Swords: Meditation.  Closing your eyes to outer circumstances in order to gain perspective or to avoid a decision.  Refusing to act.”

I meditate and close my eyes to gain perspective, since the moon is full and directing my passions and the powerful energies surrounding them is the way for me to realise my full potential as one of Spirit's millions of representatives here on Terra firma.  My decision is made I just need to execute it.  Quitting this job I have is a given, no doubt about it.  I simply need to and simply is the keyword here, simply need to find a way to quit that job and work as a Tarot Intuitive despite not having the security of a paycheque coming in.

Action is required in order to live our lives, to bring about change, to get things moving, to attract thing to us, to give and receive, to simply be.

Thank You Spirit.

"XI Strength" and Bringing Your Passions to Life

I cannot remember a single dream I had that I enjoyed however I remember the dream related to the job, a dream I tried to dismiss as quickly as I could once I understood that I was dreaming such a dream.  I know I had other dreams as I remember awaking with some really good energy swirling about me.

Had a quick fifteen minute telephone interview for a career opportunity that is literally a minute or two walk from where I live.  And I find this employment opportunity to be a very desirable position that I want to land.  I'd love to take part in the growth and expansion of such a company as that one.  Although, at the same time my ultimate career, my biggest passion is to earn my keep through Tarot and other spiritual endeavours.

And on that note as I was just now reflecting on today's Gay Tarot Energy, "XI Strength", I started saying aloud a few phrases that are a part of a circle casting ritual...Spirit of the North...Spirit of the East...etc.

So today's Gay Tarot Energy is "XI Strength: Directing your passions, rather than suppressing them, is the key.  Finding healthy outlets for powerful energies.”

And "Finding healthy outlets for powerful energies" is the key phrase today.  And what better outlet for such powerful energies than Wicca, Tarot, Spirit?  I get it.  I understand.  It's time for some magick in my life. Let's get this "show" on the road!

Thank You Spirit.

The "Eight of Swords" and Answers Swirling About and Easy to Implement

Yesterday we took a drive out to Chilliwack so the folks at O'Connor RV could take a look at here and determine whether or not the price they offered me without seeing the van was a good one and whether or not it was worth putting the van, my Serenity on their lot or not.  Well, needless to say the van stayed at O'Connor RV ad the first step in my selling it to them has taken place.  The next step is to bring in the signed papers with the offer of purchase to the bank so that the bank will release the van from the lien placed on it to secure the loan so O'Connor can then put her on their lot and sell her to the next potential RVer that will fall in love with her.  I'm a bit sad but at the same time at ease as it is the right thing to do at this time.  I'm confident that there will be another Serenity in life sooner than I think.

Spirit Is and today's Thoth Tarot Energy is the "Eight of Wands/Swiftness: Some good news or an unexpected phone call could electrify you today and give the day a surprising turn of events.  Your mind is "charged", and one of the many ideas chasing through your brain holds the solution for an old problem.  Or perhaps a spark will kindle the fires of love?  That would certainly be the most wonderful reason for the coming night to turn to day for you."

"Your mind is "charged", and one of the many ideas chasing through your brain holds the solution for an old problem" is the key phrase from this "Eight of Wands" today.  It truly does feel like a day of swiftness and active minds and energies where answers are quick to come to us and easy to implement.  It's a day where things come together for us and truly bring our minds, spirits and energies at ease.

Thank You Spirit.

"0 The Fool" and Being Just Different Enough to Stand Out Above the Rest of the Crowd

What great sleep.  Sleeping in and barely remembering stirring through the night makes for a really good sleep.  The last thoughts I remember having before zonking out for the night were about the stones and crystals under my pillow.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is “0 The Fool: Accepting and exploring one's sexual identity is a journey of self-discovery. Beginning a new and exciting venture.  Going beyond the limits of social convention.  A non-conformist.”

"Going beyond the limits of social convention" and being "A non-conformist" stand out for me today as being a great to get some momentum going or keep the momentum going in our lives.  Being a little different is a great way to stand out and get noticed, in a good way, of course.  Just enough "umph" to make people stop and take notice and want to get know you more, support you more or even employ you or give you that big break you've been dreaming of and waiting for.

Thank You Spirit.

The "9 of Coins" and Enjoying Life Through Spiritual Enrichment

Another decent night of sleep but awoke somewhere between four and five in the morning and could not fall asleep again.  Going to have to get more into meditation and other relaxation techniques as I tend to dwell on issues that get me to worrying, nervous and anxious about things of which I have no control over and it's getting to be a bit tiring.  I have books to read so I should do more reading as this was a great way to relax for me years ago, a total way to forget about and lose track of time.  Loved those experiences.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “9 of Coins: Rewards.  Enjoying the fruits of your labour.  Well-deserved enjoyment.”

"Well-deserved enjoyment" stands out to me and I get the feeling that such enjoyment is going to be much more plentiful in my life.  I'm feeling a great sense of freedom and an inkling of working less and enjoying life more, no money worries, little to no stress, and being spiritually rich beyond measure.

My intuition is telling me that we especially I need to trust Spirit more, to get back into knowing what Spirit and Nature are all about to let them lead me to spiritually enriched enjoyment of life and all things.  The trees are, the forest is waiting for me to visit again and to enjoy their love and friendship.  This reminds me that as I driving back to the job, I drove past two pairs of crows foraging in the grass for food and was struck by the thought and image of sitting with them and simply "be".  To have a conversation of sorts with them and become more comfortable with my stronger and more dynamic spiritual role in life.

So the message of the day as I see it is to simply be, enjoy life and to left life enjoy you!

Thank You Spirit.

The "7 of Swords" and Hopping A Ride on the Momentum in My Life

Slept quite well last night.  My nightly sleeping is returning back to normal.  I noticed this change after these two new employment opportunities came to light which I unusually happy about (was not expecting to feel so about the prospect of working for someone else yet again) along with positive news from the bank and the RV dealership as well as with more knowledge and appreciation about my Intuitive Tarot efforts and offerings to everyone out there looking for a new way to explore their inner and outer lives or who want to try a different way to seek and find guidance in their lives.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “7 of Swords: The Messenger.  Carrying your plans through obstacles.  Speed is important.  Someone brings news or a message.  Carelessness.”

This morning my thoughts upon seeing the “7 of Swords" were about allowing myself to continue being carried forward by the momentum that is in full swing regarding new and better employment opportunities as with selling the camper van back to the RV dealership and reining in and taking more serious control over my finances as well as getting more serious about reading Tarot Cards for others.

Then just before heading out the door from the job that I really no longer fit the boss let me know that he appreciates me and enjoys working with me and has given me another raise.  I really appreciate his sentiment and the raise although from my research of similar types of jobs I should be making another $5.00 per hour but at least I see and say that he's making an effort but I still need to move on.

I'm moving on, have to, the momentum is there so I'm hanging on and going for a ride so I can see where it takes me.  For instance, as I was heading from one account to another this afternoon, I decide to take lunch at the Metrotown Mall or maybe it's now called Metrotown at Metropolis but anyhow I stopped there for my lunch break.

I was drawn to Chapter's, the bookstore so I proceeded there to browse the magazine shelves, found nothing and continued browsing the shelves of books that populate the store.  Found or made my way to the "New Age" section and quickly scanned the shelves, nothing too interesting or so I thought then this book stood out: "The Only TAROT Book You'll Ever Need" by Skye Alexander.  Oh, no, I thought, not yet another book about reading the cards.  So I scanned the shelves again and again this book beckoned to me. So I took it from the shelf, read the excerpt on the back.  Yeah, sure, really don't need another book on tarot, I thought, paused,  put it back on the shelf, no maybe not yet, flip through the pages, no, don't need it, on the shelf it goes, no, read from a few pages, hhhmmm, don't think so but I'm drawn to the book.

Why?

Trust your intuition, trust your intuition...buy the book.  So that's what I did.  Sat in the van with a few minutes left on my break and read a bit more from the book and yes, my intuition is right.  This book is a worthwhile read for me.  Oh, my break ended five minutes ago.

Oops!

So that was my lunch break...learning yet again that I need to always trust my intuition.
Stay with the momentum that is moving you to where you need to go, trust your intuition, be focused on the prize you seek, and take the time to do things right.  No time for shortcuts or carelessness these days.

Thank You Spirit.

The "Youth of Swords" and Viewing Computers as Opportunities to Bring Opportunities Our Way

Sleeping in is my first thought upon awaking in the morning these days.  During the night if I awake, my thoughts are all about Spirit, Gaia and Tarot, as Wizard Oron, that would be me, takes flight in my dreams. takes flight in my dreams.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “Youth of Swords: Curiosity.  Research.  Computers, e-mail.  Immature communication.  Spying (or "hacking").”

"Curiosity.  Research.  Computers, e-mail."  These are bringing opportunities my way.  I received another email regarding yet another employment opportunity that is really close to home, pretty much a walk out the door, the back door of the condo tower I call home.  Being so close to home makes this an ideal opportunity for me.  My commute is perhaps a minute or two.  The only hold up to my commute would be the elevator but using the stairs will likely be chosen route to follow for this commute.

Thank goodness for computers and technology as opportunities literally come to your Inbox.  No more newspapers to scan or employment offices to visit, everything can now be down online.  And computers and the Internet can really be a great way to unleash and satisfy our curiosity.  How great it is to have information and answers literally at our fingertips and a simple mouse click away.

Thank You Spirit.

The "5 of Cups" and Turning Back to the Present with an Eye to the Future

Had a positive phone call yesterday regarding a new employment opportunity that has come my way from LinkedIn.  Although, I'm still a Tarot Intuitive offering Intuitive Tarot services this new job opportunity is right up my alley so I'm going to pursue it and do my best to land this job.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “5 of Cups: The Aftermath.  Regret over past actions.”

Quit looking to the past with regret.  Instead turn around and look at what you have as well as look toward your untapped future.  A future full of potential and unlimited possibilities.  Imagine the life you want and get about creating it.

The past is done, lay it to rest, come back to the present, appreciate it, appreciate this very moment.  Then know that the future you desire can be yours.  Be considerate of the choices you make and the reactions you have to what comes your way.  It's not whether it's good or bad that's important, it's how you react to it that matters most.

So get past your regret and bring yourself back to the here and now and get on with life and living it to the fullest and best way you can.

Thank You Spirit.

The "4 of Coins" and As Much As We Might Want to Control How Other People Should See the World, We Can't

Another week has started and although the I'm still at the job I no longer fit it's a good start to the week.  As yesterday, I looked at my Card of the Year as I forgot to do this on my birthday last month and the year ahead has a good vibe to it.  Justice has been served, the slate wiped clean, and brighter days lie ahead.  Of course, all of this is dependent upon me and the decisions, actions and choices I make as well my reactions to what comes my way.

Sleep is slowly getting better as well.  Less worry on my mind, not that I should be worrying about things.  I do know better but as much as I know that worry is wasted energy I still get wound up about things and worry.  Last night was different though.  I felt good.  Tarot and speaking to people filled my mind as did images of plants and animals, forests, mountains, rivers and streams--enjoyment of life, life's simple pleasures, enjoying a bit of nature and feeling at home being in the great outdoors.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “4 of Coins: The Lighting Director.  A position of power.  Wanting to control how others perceive things.”

With having and holding the image of the “4 of Coins" in my mind I feel the energy of the card tell me that "Wanting to control how others perceive things" is not a good way to approach, interact or engage with people.  We must allow people to have their own thoughts as well as encourage and empower them to speak their minds.  We need people to feel free and to embrace their thoughts, ideas and opinions and feel free in giving them voice and sharing them with other people.  We might not always agree but people do have a voice for a reason and we're not here to judge them for giving voice to what makes them tick.

Thank You Spirit.

"VII The Chariot" and a Sense of Fair Play Coming From All Sides

Did our weekly grocery run yesterday so we could make last night's dinner, Arroz con Pollo.  Delicious!

Relaxed the rest of the day and took it easy.

Spirit Is and today's (Whimsical) Tarot Energy is "VII The Chariot: Victories are on the horizon.  Reject negative people but don’t judge them harshly.  Appeal to others’ sense of fair play.  This is a very good time for travel, taking a break, and getting away.  When reversed: People are more defensive now.  Don’t give in to intimidation or pressure.  No one wants to waste time.  Expect last-minute cancellations of plans."

I do reject negative people and do my best not to judge them for I do not like to be judge myself.  I'm also appealing to others' sense of fair play for the benefit of all, not only myself.  I sense relief is just around the corner, a victory I suppose but something that is related to others' sense of fair play.  And taking a break and getting away is something I want to do but will wait to do once I see that others' are treating me as fairly as I'm treating them.  It all goes hand in hand.

I had really great dreams last night that I believe are related to the "VII The Chariot".  One dream was about entering into a good and better financial relationship with my bank and the other was about successfully teaching about "The Fool's Journey" and providing Intuitive Tarot services through a variety of social media platforms.  These dreams came through after much thought about banking and having a passion for Tarot and Spirit filled my mind and left a smile on my face.

Thank You Spirit.

"12 The Mirror" and Trusting the Universe Enough to Surrender Ourselves to It

What better day for someone to embark on, to start their own Fool's Journey than today, All Fools Day?

In addition to trying to transition over to being more actively engaged with my spiritual passions and interests I'm also looking for a different job or career where my time, skills, and talents are put to better use as well being paid what I'm worth.  I've applied for one such opportunity and have a telephone interview on Monday for another.  That's on the jobs front.  Regarding the pursuit of my spiritual passions and interests I'm going to fine tune a few things and set up a little studio of sorts in the den--finding a way to somehow tuck it in and around my model railroad and the in home office and desk of my partner.  This all in an effort to give myself more exposure as well as advertise and let people see for themselves through videos the skill and talent I have as a Tarot Intuitive.

Spirit Is and today's Wildwood Tarot Energy is "12 The Mirror: Patience and prudence are the keywords here, although trust plays a large part in the process of crossing to the island where insights into our own unconscious workings may be revealed.  This process differs from the journey of the Hooded Man, who makes a conscious decision to withdraw and contemplate the universe.  In the Mirror, a surrender of will is required.  Insights may come from dreams and meditations, but now is the time to force the pace or drive on with a plan or desire until you have heard what your soul has to say, and your bruised and wounded spirit has been healed.  Be patient.  Let the journey commence and awaken afresh and full of energy, ready to deal with the world and the challenges it raises."

"In the Mirror, a surrender of will is required" and this is exactly what I've done, surrendered my will.  I've relinquished all control over to the universe and Spirit allowing the pure energy that is wash over me and cleanse me of all that I no longer need and that needs to go in my life.  I've "Let the journey commence" so I can "awaken afresh and full of energy, ready to deal with the world and the challenges it raises."

I'm a blank page, a fresh sponge ready to soak up and learn all that the universe and Spirit have to teach me, ready to be a conscious co-creator with the universe allowing the cosmos to grow, evolve and expand through me and into all life that I encounter.  I'm ready to make amends and start fresh and in fact my journey has already started.

Thank You Spirit.
