Page of Arrows - Wren and the Two of Bows - Decision and this blog is not moving!

Sunday, July 5th, 2015.  Hope everyone is having an enjoyable weekend.  We're blessed with sunny, hot dry weather however it is wreaking havoc on our forests and hence our air quality.  Here in the metro Vancouver region we awoke to smoke filled skies as a result of the jet stream and air flow I suppose that is pulling all of the heavy smoke away from the northern and interior sections of the province and landing it here.

We're making do by limiting our outdoor activities and holing up indoors whether at a mall or now here at home.  My lungs really do not like breathing in that smoke so I'm happy to be indoors and out of the blazing hot sun and smoky skies.

We had a relaxing evening at home after a late morning early afternoon stay at the beach and some errands.  We had a nice dinner and simply relaxed the evening away reading, watching a bit of television and enjoying each other's company.  What a great Saturday!

I slept very well last night and awoke just around 7:00am.  I pondered not going to the gym however once I was out of bed and had a bit of coffee in me and the Tarot of the Day before me I simply found myself getting dressed and going to the gym.  What a great feeling!

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot of the Day is the "Page of Arrows, Wren: Study and application brings wisdom and understanding which can be applied to most situations.  Your youth and determination will carry you forward and your nascent skills bring you to a dynamic realization.  Watchfulness, Mystery, Determination, Work, Scholarship, Wisdom, A vigilant guardian."

What must we do to move forward and find success in our lives?  Study and apply the wisdom, knowledge and understanding we gain from such study to our passions and endeavors, whatever they may be.  It can go a long way especially if we asked for the blessing and guidance of Spirit and the cosmos as we go about the pursuit of what is important to us.

As I was waiting for my partner and eating an early lunch I chose a Tarot for today as well.  As I was shuffling the deck this morning a couple of cards drifted to the floor, one them being 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."

I chose this card as it is a significant expression of my decision to not only buy a camper van but to also resurrect if you will one of my earlier and original blogs as well reclaim and remake "the mental and emotional tools and energies that are required to move on in life".  I've stepped across a threshold and have taken "control in a positive and proactive manner".

I'm not simply going to buy and let this camper van sit while I work and pay for it.  No, instead I'm going to be an active and proactive blogger doing my best to create a blog or two that will generate an income which I can then use to travel in my new to me camper van thus fulfilling one of my biggest dreams...traveling the roads of North America.  I hope you'll join me for the ride and do what you can to support this long held dream of mine.  I thank you in advance for tagging along and the support you give me.

Stay tuned for more information to come.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'9 The Hooded Man'

Tuesday, June 30, 2015.  This another one of those odd weeks where we have a stat day in the middle of the week so tomorrow we're off for a day to celebrate Canada's birthday then Thursday it's back to work.  But I'll do my best to enjoy and the celebrate Canada's birthday.  Likely that'll include driving out to Chilliwack to test drive a 2005 Pleasure Way Excel TS Van at O'Connor RV.

I'd love to purchase such a vehicle but I'm also feeling a little apprehensive about it too!  I want to have it bomb around in when we go on hikes or for a bike ride but I don't like the idea of having another bill to pay even though it'll be a nice investment.  I love the idea of taking it on the road.  I wish I had a place here at home to park it.

Last night was sort of disorganized for me even though I was feeling good about journaling about the Tarot of the day as well as from reading 'Science of Mind'.  I guess the disorganized feeling came about when I decide to research and make a post on my website 'wizardoron.ca'.  I published a post and found a way to link it to the website but then I lost track of where to go to publish the post in its entirety as the 'read more' link does not appear to work.  Aaarrrggghhh!

Yay!  I fixed the issue with the blog on my website and dinner is over and done with as well.  So far, so good.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "9 The Hooded Man: The time of the Hooded Man is here.  Whether he appears in the guise of an inner guide and mentor or simply as a state of mind, you will understand that now is a time to withdraw and rest.  After a long journey through the Wildwood, many emotions and experiences need to be absorbed.  This is the beginning of understanding - not just of yourself, but the universe.  The hermit-like Hooded Man appears differently for everyone.  Whether through meditation or solitude in the mountains, through prayer or holidaying in a secluded place, his light will illuminate the way to the heart of the endless cycle of being."

Rest, simply be, do not think, or be restless, just be.  Do not get nervous, worked up or stressed out simply allow yourself a moment or two of solitude, of simple serenity...no phone calls, texts, tweets, or facebooking...instead make a point to turn it all off..focus and give all of your attention to the Hooded Man.  Let him distract you for a second and let time seemingly stand still.

Take a deep breath and be at peace.

Grace and peace to you.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
