Spent a great afternoon and early part of the evening with my sister, her husband and her daughter as well as my brother and one uncle who joined in with the effort to support my niece and the hockey team she play's on. They lost but some of us found the game to be more entertaining than any NHL game we might have watched.
After the game we went back to my sister's hotel room before heading down the road to White Rock for a stroll along the strip as pier and of course a visit to the rock that gave White Rock it's name.
Then we suggested a restaurant for dinner, one we've had very good service combined with good food. This experience was anything but that.
We were sat down in a busy restaurant and forgotten about. After waiting about fifteen or more minutes we asked an employee who's responsibility was who knows what about our server, someone came to our rescue, after paying our bill at the end of the long evening in Charlie Don't Surf, I saw that her names is (N.....). (N.....) was very apologetic throughout the evening and did her best to appease us. When we were taking care of our bill, she apologized more and let us know that the hostesses were seating people without letting anyone know that new tables were coming into an already busy section where a combination of servers were sharing tables, sharing tables without knowledge of who was to serve which table. The food was subpar for the most part and nothing close to what we had before.
Then we returned my sister and family to their hotel before heading home ourselves.
Spirit Is and today's Pagan Tarot Energy is the "Eight of Swords: Our Witch is faced with a difficult situation indeed. Blindfolded and tied up, she is surrounded by a circle of swords. Her coven mates surround the outside of the situation - they are there for support but not for direct help. She is imprisoned and must find her own way out. The exit is unblocked and right in front of her, but she has no way of knowing that. You may be feeling alone and powerless. While this is a situation you must face alone, your loved ones are with you in spirit and will help whenever and however they can. Most importantly, your way out is not difficult. Continue walking confidently on your path and it will take you straight to freedom."
Interestingly enough last night I had a dream where I gave my notice at the job, a month's notice effective April 1st so I could take up my spiritual calling as a Tarot Intuitive offering my Intuitive Tarot services to those seeking something...and then the "Eight of Swords" appears and shouts to me that I need to "Continue walking confidently on your path and it will take you straight to freedom." And as I let this sink in travelling to summer fairs and markets and community gatherings and celebrations filled my mind...hhhmmm...Spirit is onto something here and I need to give in to Spirit's nudge to not only go on a journey but to be the journey where I'm living life, life is living me and I'm the experience having an experience...
I also awoke this morning with an inkling that I should gather up a few things for my sister, so I'm giving her a Rider-Waite Tarot Deck, a Pagan Tarot Deck, a white sage smudge stick, a Chakra Stone Kit, and a "Spirit" candle. Oh and my Learning the Tarot book by Joan Bunning as well as the companion book to the Pagan Tarot.
Thank You Spirit.
Our weekend trip to Victoria has come and gone and we're back home. I've gained new knowledge, wisdom, and power knowing without a shadow of a doubt that I'm on the right path as Spirit Guide and Tarot Card Reader.
Whether it was the weekend get-a-way, visiting Sooke Potholes Regional Park and witnessing the awesome beauty and power of the Sooke River and being reminded of our connection with nature or being visited by Crow who landed on the top of the car in what I think is a dream or the spiritual and magical power contained in the pages of Sage Woman magazine or the book Spells of Blood and Kin or the power and energy of Tarot as a card is revealed each day or by the power of thoughts and dreams, I am changed this day, having reached for something greater than myself.

We were pulling up to the ferry terminal in Swartz Bay yesterday at about ten minutes before the 4pm sailing, too late for that sailing I thought to myself and way too early for our reserved 5pm sailing however the booth attendant gave us the option to make our way to the 4pm sailing so we took her up on her offer. Arriving home an hour earlier was a welcomed blessing and our local Boston Pizza was our choice for dinner.
We had time to continue our relaxation and enjoy the quiet time we had. Sleep was great and having no alarm to wake up to makes this day even better. Spirit Is and today's Pagan Tarot Energy is the "Eight of Swords: Our Witch is faced with a difficult situation indeed. Blindfolded and tied up, she is surrounded by a circle of swords. Her coven mates surround the outside of the situation - they are there for support but not for direct help. She is imprisoned and must find her own way out. The exit is unblocked and right in front of her, but she has no way of knowing that. You may be feeling alone and powerless. While this is a situation you must face alone, your loved ones are with you in spirit and will help whenever and however they can. Most importantly, your way out is not difficult. Continue walking confidently on your path and it will take you straight to freedom."
With the "Eight of Swords" confirming that we "Continue walking confidently on your path and it will take you straight to freedom" is a continuation of the Fool's advice yesterday for us to "reach for something greater than ourselves". This a firm reminder that the path we are on is the correct one for each of us and that we must never let our confidence be shaken by another for this is who we are meant to be and is the fulfilment of our purpose in life.
Thank You Spirit.

"Continue walking confidently on your path and it will take you straight to freedom." This is my daily mantra and I'm fully confident that I am fulfilling my role as Wizard Oron more and more each day. Soon I will be leaving my current job permanently and taking up roost at home whether in the condo or on the road in Serenity revealing people's stories through the wonderful world, energy and spirit of Tarot. My "freedom" is indeed at hand...just around the next bend in the road.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
