The "7 of Coins" and Planning Your Next Move

Blessed Samhain.  Happy Halloween.

Awaking earlier than the alarm these days even on the weekends and on the weekends I don't mind at all but on the weekdays I just want to sleep through the entire day.  Having said that though I know full well that I need to be actively engaged during the day reaching out to Spirit, reaching out to others, increasing my skills and knowledge and stepping further into my Wizard Oron shoes.

Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the “7 of Coins: Chores.  Resting after a job well done.  Contemplating life's cycles and changes.  Planning your next move.  Clearing out what's unnecessary in your life to make way for something new.”

What's grabbing your attention as you look at and converse with the “7 of Coins"?  Where do your thoughts go as this energy meets your?  Immerse yourself into the card, become part of the scene.  What do you see.  What/How do you feel?

For me the “7 of Coins" is all about planning my next move.  More like re-planning my next move as I feel like I've been planning my next move for the past thirty years?  I need to stop spinning my wheels and if I'm continuously spinning them I should drop them to the ground so I can start moving.

Ha!  There's my next move, putting my wheels to the ground and getting a move on.  Got things I need to do.  A whole lot of paying it forward to do is more like it.  I've got to repay all of the chances I've been given, wasted or fulfilled, either way, I need to give back for receiving this precious gift of life I've been given.

Thank You Spirit.

The 'King of Stones, Wolf' and Receiving Knowledge and Wisdom from Nature

Saturday, October 31st, 2015.  'Blessed Samhain'.  Happy Halloween.

It's so nice to awake and not have to rush out anywhere.  Weekends are such a privilege and a blessing.  I enjoy my job however as I've said many time before I would much rather just pursue spiritual endeavors and somehow, otherwise earn my keep.

Awaking in the morning and devoting as much time to Spirit and Tarot as I want fills me with an abundance of love and creates a deep and intimate connection with the world.  I really cannot say more than this because it's an experience that must be experienced in order to be understood and appreciated.  Besides, trying to describe it and finding the appropriate words in my opinion diminishes the experience and realistically speaking cannot even come close to describing what one feels when he or she finds and holds onto their relationship with Spirit.

Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is "King of Stones, Wolf: Love of the land and of the natural world guides much of what you do.  You look often to the wisdom of others and to traditional values to colour your life choices.  Security brings pleasure; loyalty crowns every endeavour.  Trading, speculation, Mathematical ability, Loyalty and conservation, Steadfastness,  Robust health, Determination."

It's a dark, rainy morning and where would I like to be?  In my van.  In my van listening to the rain hit the roof as I revel in Spirit and the coziness that my van can offer in such weather as this.

My van, Serenity creates the ability to be like a 'wolf' as she offers a place of comfort, security, and serenity as I go out to explore and experience nature and being able to do so almost regardless of the type of weather we're having in southwestern British Columbia.

Nature is one of my best teachers followed by the wisdom of others and then the analysis of traditional values and how one or more may fit in or help shape my way of thinking and outlook on life.  Being amongst soaring trees, or in the presence of and hiking through mountainous terrain or simply hearing the waves of the mighty ocean or the rushing waters of a river or creek can teach us so much if we only dare to listen and to experience.  Then as we converse with others and get know them and their view of the world can offer us new ways of thinking and the ability to see the world through another person's eyes if we open ourselves to the experience that is.  And finally traditional values can glean much wisdom and offer sage advice if we transcend our often judgemental ways when it comes to traditional values.

Be open to learning and educational opportunities as well as new ways of thinking or of experiencing life and our interaction with others or even ourselves.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Blessed Samhain - The Man of Wands with Support from the 10 of Wands

Friday, October 31st, 2014.  Blessed Samhain.  Happy Halloween.

I had another decent night’s sleep surprisingly so as we had a friend over for a simple dinner of spaghetti and meatballs.  The food was good, the conversation even better and we’ll be entertaining a couple of more friends on Sunday.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Man of Wands: Someone who likes problems, and/or thrives on unstable or dangerous situations. “The Establishment”.  Keeping the peace.” And the supporting card is the “10 of Wands: The Burden.  Responsibilities.  Obligations.  Overcommitting yourself.  Realizing that burdens are a part of life.”

Balanced thought combined with insightful action will keep us from making mistakes and creating more harmony in our lives.  This allows us then to find more constructive avenues to fulfill our needs for adrenalin rushes every now and then.  We have what it takes to give 100% and be fully committed to any project we tackle.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Blessed Samhain and the Youth of Wands

Blessed Samhain!  Happy Halloween!

What a blessed day this is.  Have no fear of the Spirits that will abound this day.  Greet each and every one of them with a smile and a blessing of love, joy, and goodwill.

I will have candles and incense burning all day as I celebrate this, the witch’s New Year.  The god is passing over only to be reborn at Yule.  Blessed Be.

Yesterday as I worked with Spirit throughout the day I came away filled with the knowledge that Spirit is using me to deliver messages of peace and unconditional love to everyone and all things I encounter, words may not be exchanged, it could merely be a look, a smile, a simple nod of the head.  Thank You Spirit!

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Youth of Wands: Focusing attention on something.  Reaching for a goal from a possibly unsteady foundation.”

Yes, I am doing this.  I’m focusing attention on a possible new job, a new direction, well, only a slight detour, perhaps.  A change of focus so I can actually firm up that foundation and provide myself with a steady place from which to pursue my dreams and goals.  Dreams and goals that I’ve boiled down to one single item and that is that I simply want to drive my RV around North America with no destination in mind, no plan, or agenda, just simply drive where Spirit wishes me to go.  The plan us under way in many aspects, things are firming up and solidifying and I am filled with a inner love, peace and calm, deeper than I’ve ever experienced before.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

A Good Time and The Parade

These are the headlines from the two cards that revealed themselves to me over the weekend.  Interesting side note is that I consciously made myself aware of my mood as I worked with the Tarot and instead of feeling as if working with the card was a chore I turned it instead into a happy experience and these are the cards that came as a result:

Saturday, October 30th - "3 of Cups.  A good time.  Happy, comfortable times, together.  Quiet enjoyment.  Celebration."

Sunday, October 31st - "6 of Wands - The Parade.  Appreciation for those who stand up for themselves.  The courage of one's convictions.  Admiration, acclaim, pride."

Happy Samhain!  May the spirit of Halloween been good to all!  Blessed Be!
