Addendum: The 'Novice of Swords', Cardinals and Crows

Sunday, May 29, 2019 Addendum:

I feel a need to write a bit more about the "Novice of Swords" as the 'cardinal' perched in the tree caught my attention and also reminded me of the number of crows that I've noticed during my drives whether during the job or when driving to and from Quesnel or just from work to home.  I have Ted Andrews book, 'Animal-Speak' and in his entry for the cardinal he refers to this bird as being a symbol of 'renewed importance', "Accept you(r) life's importance.  Accept yourself as a source of light and do not be afraid to conduct yourself accordingly."  Animal-Speak, Ted Andrews, Dragonhawk Publishing, Jackon, Tennessee, 2009, page 20

I've long felt like a source of light, that is, if I let myself be one and the cardinal is reaffirming my choice of where I'd like to go with my life.  I've long desired to travel, simply driving along the roads and highways of North America but have been challenged by my lack of commitment and not truly or really pursuing this goal.  I've not been active enough in making my life happen.  This is stopping now.  I will drive these roads and highways, in fact I've already started and do so by offering myself as one more source of spiritual light and energy here on the earthly plane.

Need a spiritual recharge, boost, cleanse, or renewal or all of these?  Well come on over and tap into my spiritual energy and take what you need.  Let me assist you in reconnecting with Spirit and tapping into its unlimited loving energy and see your life renewed and eyes opened!

Crows are offering up 'magical help'.   "Unexpected help with problems and obstacles is at hand to bring relief.  Your magic is calling and it will be answered."  Animal-Speak, Ted Andrews, Dragonhawk Publishing, Jackon, Tennessee, 2009, page 22

I'm on the right path and there is no turning back.  I dedicated to achieving my goal while at the same enjoying the journey to get there along with keeping my eyes opened for better and brighter ways of doing things.

I'm living life, and life is living me! Chakras For Beginners, David Pond, Llewellyn Publications, Woodbury, Minnesota, 2009, page 27

Thank You Spirit.

Namaste.

The 'Novice of Swords' and Knowing What You Want and Doing It

Sunday, May 29, 2016.  What a rainy day we had yesterday.  We had do a couple of errands and also decided to get our weekly grocery run over and done with but boy oh boy did we ever get wet doing so.  But the rain should never be complained about as we need it.  Most of us here in the city waste a lot more water than we think we do and I'm always reminded of this each time we use the camper van.  The water coming in goes into holding tanks before being dump and can they ever fill up fast.

We came home after our errands, had a late lunch and simply relaxed for the rest of the day.  My relaxation included a bit of work on my model railroad layout, finding my misplaced papers, and then reading and fully absorbing what I reading form the book, 'Chakras For Beginners' by David Pond.  Really enjoy reading this book and putting into practice what I read.  You know what?  I changed as a result.  I kid you not, I completed reading about the first three chakras and am about halfway through reading about the fourth and feel that these four chakras are quite in balance today.

When I first started to read, study and contemplate chakras I felt a bit lost and incapable of working with my chakras however this has all changed and changed for the better.  Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today's 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."

The message here today reaffirms that yes, we can be focused and accomplish much however we must be careful not to move so swiftly that we miss other ideas or opportunities that may be better or offer more efficient ways of doing things.  We can maintain our focus but we must also be aware of the signs or messages that may be out there telling us to slow down and take a second look at what we are pursuing.  Or simply that we must slow down and enjoy the journey as well as the end result we are after!

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
