The 'Six of Pentacles' and the 'Elemental of Pentacles'

Tuesday, January 26, 2016.  My apologies for being tardy and not writing anything here yesterday.  I chose not to write anything because I was mentally and physically exhausted upon my return home from work.  I didn't sleep well Sunday night and I had a long and busy day on the job working beyond my scheduled hours.  I was beat and could barely stand or stay awake and hardly had the energy or inclination to eat but I amazingly found the energy to not only eat but also shower and stay awake until just after 10:00pm.

Yesterday's Pagan Tarot Energy is the "Five of Pentacles: In this challenging scene, our Witch joins others in an unemployment line.  No one looks happy and people are in various states of poverty.  Outside the window, a church is visible.  He circle mates are also outside by the window.  She holds a pentacle, unsure whether she should hide it or not.  This card is about the challenge to be spiritual in the face of physical hunger and deprivation.  If feel your spirituality would get in the way of getting the help you need, would you hide it?  Is it anyone's business?  Are you more apt to hide your beliefs when you're in need then when everything is going well?  How does your spirituality help you during physically trying times?"

My spirituality not only guides me through physically trying times, it helps me survive physically trying times.  My spirituality is the only reason I'm alive today.

Today's Pagan Tarot Energy is the "Elemental of Pentacles - Gnome: In the Pagan Tarot the Elementals are recognized as the purest form of energy.  The elemental for Earth is the Gnome.  Gnomes are found throughout the world.  They are dwarf faeries who appear to be quite old because they mature very young though they live about a thousand years.  They have a tendency to look like small bark-like tree men, about a foot tall, with acorn hats and clothing in natural hues of red, brown and green.  They are active all year round.  They live deep in ancient forests under old oak trees and make their dwellings in their intricate root systems.  Their main job is the protection and healing of wildlife, though they occasionally help humans along their spiritual quest.  The Gnome represents someone with a natural, deep, strong connection to the earth and animals.  This Elemental can indicate a message, often pertaining to finances, resources, health, or a project that's been completed."

Since Friday evening the number 250,000 has floated in and out of my mind and I'm not sure what it's importance is, if it has any but it's there in a flicker or a flash and then it's gone.  And yesterday as I was in awe of my surroundings during my time in Chilliwack yesterday I felt like I was on top of the world.  The open vast spaces that are filled with more greenery and other signs of nature and the mountains off in the distance rather than concrete man-made buildings and a whole lot of blacktop helped feel more connected to Earth than I've felt in a long time.  I enjoyed my time out there even if I was out there on company time.

Then on the drive back along the highway who knows where nature once again grabbed my attention.  The brown leaves on the ground and the barren trees made me want to stop and walk in this small patch of trees along the highway.  I envisioned myself feeling the brown, dry leaves in my hands as I scooped them up as a token of gratitude and thanks for the life I'm living.

I welcome Spirit into my life.  I welcome visitors to view and read my blogs and website.  I welcome clients contacting me and I welcome comments on my writings and intuitions of Spirit and Tarot.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Celebrating Lammas by Picking Up My 2005 Pleasure Way XL Van

Saturday, August 1st, 2015.  Happy Lammas Everyone!  May we all be blessed with the gathering and bounty of the first harvest.  May the abundance of food gathered be respected and consumed with thoughts of peace, love, and sustainability of nature and all of Gaia.

This morning my brother was once again gracious enough to drive us out to O'Connor RV in Chilliwack so I could finally pick up my new to me 2005 Pleasure Way XL Van.  This time I was raring to go with nervous excitement.  As I got settled in with Peter to go over the financing and related paperwork my nerves settled right down.  Thank you Peter.  Once the financing was taken care of I sat down with Diana and insured the van so I could drive it off the lot.  Thank you Diana.  About twenty minutes after arriving I was out doing a walk thru of the van with Gerri.

Gerri was a great teacher and I pretty much understand all the inner workings of the van, oh, let's call her by her name, Serenity.  I understand how the propane system works, how the electrical system works, the drainage, the hot water heater, the house battery, how to winterize the plumbing, and much, much more.  Thank you Gerri, apologies if I misspelled your name.

Before driving off we had a photo taken in front of Serenity, this is one with only me in it:

However, Serenity belongs more to two loving and wonderful friends that entered my life in 2009, Edith and Eugene Tokalot.  So please visit and learn more about them by following their adventures and maybe even mis-advenutres at 'Edith and Eugene Tokalot's RVing Adventures' (eandetokalotsrvingadventures.blogspot.ca)

Having said that, the "Ten of Stones. Home" could not be more true than it is today.  How much at home I feel now having a newer, well taken care home on wheels at the waiting whenever the mood strikes and I need to hit the open road as open as it can be...
