The 'Five of Chalices' and 'XII The Hanged Man'

Tuesday, March 15, 2016.  A couple of birthday celebrations filled our evening last night with dinner out and a symphony and piano concert afterwards.  And a great night it was!

Yesterday's Pagan Tarot Energy is the "Five of Chalices: Three spilled cups lay on the ground in front of our blue and white clad Witch.  Her handsome young man stands behind her, offering her a fresh cup.  Although, he is positive, supportive, and smiling, she is preoccupied with what has been lost.  While a time of sorrow or mourning is normal, don't let it stop you from continuing with your life.  Lift yourself up and start over.  Trust that your life and your magic will find new balance and you will find peace for yourself."

Today's Pagan Tarot Energy is "XII The Hanged Man - Similar to the Chariot, we see that our goals have been held back in a larger sense due to some important part of our lives we have needed to repair first; once we have made the necessary changes, we will stop feeling as though we are on hold."

I must cast my eyes forward, recognizing all that I have accomplished and instead looking at what I have yet to achieve.  No time or energy need be wasted on looking back into the past.  My life is not in the past, it's right here in the present with great hope and optimism for the future.  My energy needs to remain focused on what I can do today instead of what I failed to do yesterday so onward and upward I go hopping onto the elevator of success sent down our way so we too can find success as so many others have.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 'Five of Chalices' and Respecting Sorrow and Mourning

Sunday, January 10, 2016.  We're finally having a nice quiet weekend at home, just the two of us and how sweet it is.  Relaxing and no time pressures of cleaning house for visitors or having to stop everything we're doing to go out and meet up with someone.  Not that we dislike either of these but the holiday season was way too busy for us.  Let's spread these gatherings over the course of the year--why does it always have to wait till year's end?

I piddled around with my model railroad yesterday and still might do a few things with it today however, I have an inkling that I need to spend more time with Spirit so this is for now my focus of the day.

Today's Pagan Tarot Energy is the "Five of Chalices: Three spilled cups lay on the ground in front of our blue and white clad Witch.  Her handsome young man stands behind her, offering her a fresh cup.  Although, he is positive, supportive, and smiling, she is preoccupied with what has been lost.  While a time of sorrow or mourning is normal, don't let it stop you from continuing with your life.  Lift yourself up and start over.  Trust that your life and your magic will find new balance and you will find peace for yourself."

We must strive to understand and respect the sorrow and the mourning that enters our lives so that we know when the time for sorrow and mourning must to come to an end.  Otherwise, we may find ourselves being swallowed up by a state of misery, fear, and loathing--none of which are a benefit to our natural state of being...LOVE.

Although, "a time of sorrow or mourning is normal" we must also remember that recovery from such things is also normal and that it is also normal to celebrate that which is lost whether it be a person, place or thing.  Find the strength and courage to shift your focus away from the sadness of loss and instead focus on the goodness of what you lost and how they or it may have changed your life and made you a better person for having them or it in your life.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
