Saturday, September 17, 2016. Had a more or less decent sleep and awoke early so I simply crawled out of bed instead of trying to get more shut eye. I love awaking when it's still dark outside as I like to the see the dawning of a new day. And I especially like to see my candle glowing in the darkness and the smoky incense swirling about in the candle light. It's very spiritual and very moving to me.
I clumsily performed a Full Moon Ritual shortly after crawling out of bed however it was genuine, heartfelt, full of emotion, spiritual and very spiritually uplifting. I'm glad I made the effort as the passion simply flowed and carried me through the experience.
Without further ado, Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is a three card of the day spread, the "Initiate of Swords: The suit of Swords and its corresponding element, Air, is masculine and intellectually oriented, so a mature man with blond hair represents this Initiate. He wears a long yellow robe, a yellow stole, and two necklaces. This Initiate can be a person who uses his mind to create order. He takes his experiences and forms useful philosophies and practices, to help himself and others feel at ease in the world. He can, though, rely too much on his self-made order and at times be inflexible."; "Two of Swords: Our Witch sits on a park bench under a waning gibbous moon. She holds two swords crossed over her arms while a fellow Witch stands behind her, covering her eyes. She isn't in danger or alarmed in any way. The Swords represent two choices. She must pick one. By covering her eyes, her friend is helping her weigh the choices based only on the feel of each sword and by her reason. You are facing a choice. The best way to approach this choice is to tune out everything that is not directly related. Get a sense of the essence of the two choices. Do not look at them in relation to anything else. Make your decision based on the choices themselves and your own logic."; and "XX Judgement - Another misunderstood card. Judgement is similar to the Justice card in that it refers to a Karmic sense of judgement and not a legal sense. We have struggled long enough in this world, and a change begins to see us finally starting to see some results for our efforts. We begin to realise we can succeed, and turn our lives around for the better."
The important aspects of the day are represented by "Initiate of Swords" and what stands out for me most about this card is that I use my "mind to create order, I take my "experiences and" form "useful philosophies and practices, to help" myself "and others feel at ease in the world". But then comes the warning to not become too inflexible because of this "self-made order".
Then we must pay attention to the personal issues that are represented by the "Two of Swords" and for me this is really about looking at two choices and making a decision based solely on the two choices at hand and no other factors. If I can rely on my senses and my intuition especially over the past couple of weeks the choice is pretty clear. I need to fulfil my purpose and follow that long and winding road that's waiting for me. And in order to do this I need to quit my job. I've quit my job mentally, spiritually, and psychologically so now all that is left for me to do is to manifest this decision here in the physical world. Spirit is my safety net and this is reflected in the third card and extenuating energy of the day, "XX Judgement".
"XX Judgement" fills me with the knowledge and wisdom that "a change has begun and I'm "finally starting to see some results for" my "efforts". And I'm beginning "to realise" I "can succeed, and turn" my life "around for the better".
Thank You Spirit.
I was tossing and turning most of the time I laid in bed and I had a hard time finding sleep and seemingly sleep was not washing over me as usual so around 4am I decided to just get up. I’m glad I did as although I knew it was a Full Moon today I did not realize she would be shining so brightly before me as I glanced out the window this morning.
Seeing the Full Moon filled me with joy, happiness and love and I quickly got into action soaking up the Full Moon rays shining down on me. I performed an impromptu Full Moon Ritual blessing all of my Tarot Cards, Wands, Pentacle, Crystals, Crystal Ball, Ritual Robe, Smartphone, two tablets, a laptop, and some of my crafting items. I did this all the while being conscious of the fact that I was sharing not only the Full Moon with a spider but our deck where she took up residence. Oh, and I also bathed in the rays of the Full Moon soaking up her celestial energy being shared with this morning.
Now I understand why I was having a tough time trying to get back to sleep as the clock ticked away. I needed to experience the Full Moon and I’m glad I did. I feel great and as I write this the Moon shines behind me shrouded ever so slightly by the clouds floating across the dark early morning sky.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Guide of Cups: Messages from your heart. Altruism.”
Spirit has reminded me of the importance of my spirituality and my spiritual pursuits and beliefs. As my eyes soaked up the Full Moon hanging in the sky before me my mind cleared and I knew then that I’m heading in the right direction with my life. Spirit has to take more of the centre stage in my life and everything else will fall into place. And this morning is an example of this. I heard and heeded the call of the Full Moon and allowed myself to pulled out of my slumber to experience Spirit first hand under the light of this morning’s glowing celestial globe we call the Moon.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
