Midsummer, Summer Solstice, and a Full Moon (the Strawberry Moon)

Midsummer, Summer Solstice, and a Full Moon (the Strawberry Moon).  The Moon enters Capricorn and the Sun, Cancer.  What a beautiful, glorious and powerful day we are experiencing.  The longest day of the year, the middle of the summer for a few, the start of summer for some, some early harvests, and a Full Moon to work under and perform a little Magick!

For a few as I said previously, this is the middle of summer.  This does make sense if you think about it, that this is Midsummer for the days will now grow ever shorter until the Winter Solstice where we'll experience the longest night of the year and realistically speaking celebrate the middle of winter, Midwinter, I suppose.

For my partner and I we estimate the beginning of summer should start somewhere in early May, perhaps, the 5th or 6th of the month.  As this is the midway point between Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice.

It's a wonderfully sunny day here in New Westminster, the eight o'clock hour is mere minutes old and the sun is still shining.  Here in the condo the African Violet is in full bloom, and Peace Lily is standing tall and proud, leaves stretching mightily toward the sky.  Or in this case the big, bright southwest facing window.

Time to sit back and relax with my books, my stones and crystals, Tarot Cards, and enjoy Spirit's energy.

Namaste!

The 'Three of Arrows: Jealousy'

Thursday, March 24, 2016.  As we were relaxing last night the Wildwood Tarot called out to me so I made plans to work the Wildwood this morning.
A couple of dreams I remember involve a medium to large size dog in one and then pooling water, somewhat of a flood, a parked yellow or green van or car possibly related to the job and then me floating above the ground and then soaring a little higher as a boardwalk and or dock appeared then I awoke.

And what surprise it was to see a beautiful full and white celestial ball hanging in the sky as I looked out the window this morning...so wondrous is the moon!

Spirit Is and today's Wildwood Tarot Energy is the "Three of Arrows, Jealousy: The origins of jealousy can be infinitely varied, uniquely subjective and deeply rooted in socio-economic or psychological soil, but whether born of a broken heart, a broken dream or a broken economic system, beware of surrendering humility and forgiveness to feelings of envy or jealousy.  The most commonly associated emotional drive linked to jealousy is loss.  However perceived by the individual it behoves both the 'victim' of jealousy and the subject suffering feelings of envy to look deeply into the nature of their own motives and responsibilities.  For the jealous or possessive, there is also sometimes a feeling of 'entitlement' attached to the issue.  This can be attributed to concepts of social or familial expectations born of ill-conceived peer guidance, or the failure to enforce social responsibilities and parameters.  As we mature, we discover that there will always be some who seem to have more, or are gifted with copious good fortune.  The healing balm for envy is humility, acceptance and forgiveness, even in the face of bitter rivalry and anger, just as the constant refocusing of your energy into a positive and creative momentum in your own life is the best healer for the effects of jealousy."

Humility and forgiveness are always top of mind for me however I'll accept that the "Three of Arrows" is obviously appearing for a reason today.  I'm not picking anything up around it so I have nothing to add so I let the "Three of Arrows" simply stand on its own today.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'XVIII The Moon' and Taking Our Power Back From Nightmares That Haunt Us

Saturday, March 12, 2016.  The weekend is here and sleep was elusive last night.  Although, I was tired I could not get comfortable enough to sleep or rid my mind of nagging and unnecessary worry.  However, I did eventually fall into a deep sleep around 2:30am before awaking and crawling out of bed shortly after 6:00am.

Today's Pagan Tarot Energy is "XVIII The Moon - Much the way that moonlight and sunlight show us differing perspectives of a situation, in this case we are able to see that our fears are not the reality; we are buying into a dream state, frightened by things which do not need to have power over us. We need to realize and take our power back from the nightmares in our lives."

This needs to the focus of our day: "We need to realize and take our power back from the nightmares in our lives."

This is one of my biggest challenges as the unnecessary, distracting nightmares often creep into my thoughts and keep me awake at night.  The rob me of the energy I should be using to focus on building my spiritual career.  I give these nightmares great power over me that they do not deserve.  They are strengthened by the worry and fear that builds up as I give them more thought and energy in a seemingly never ending vicious cycle that repeats itself on a sometimes daily basis.

Today, I am taking my power back from these nightmares and putting it to better use, using it to strengthen my energy and focus on me, Wizard Oron: Spiritual Coach, Tarot Intuitive, and Chakra Worker.  Spirit flows through me and everything I do is driven by Spirit and spreading light, love, and peace wherever I go and in whatever I do.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'II The Intuitive' and Taking a Look Inside

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2016.  The Moon in "SAGITTARIUS: Encourages flights of imagination and confidence. This is an adventurous, philosophical, and athletic Moon sign. Favours expansion and growth."  Wednesday "(MERCURY): The  conscious  mind,  study, travel, divination, and wisdom."  Llewellyn's 2016 Magical Almanac

Today's Gay Tarot Energy is “II The Intuitive: To be true to oneself, one must know oneself.  Looking within for answers.  Meditation. Intuition.  Exploring that which is normally hidden.”

Time to embark on a path of self-discovery as you need to get to know yourself and to have clearer understanding of who you are.  This will bring about clarity of mind, a more agile way of thinking and understanding and enable you to make well informed and educated decisions.

Nothing to fear by diving and dwelling within yourself for a spell.  Yes, you are likely to be shocked, fearful and apprehensive at one you might see first but have faith and dig and dive deeper within and this is where you'll find what makes up the core of your being and where all good ideas, decisions and actions come from.  Go ahead, take a look...

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'Six of Vessels, Reunion, Queen of Bows, Hare and 18 The Moon on Water'

Thursday, November 5th, 2015.  Although, it's nice to have friends visit, it sure puts a dent in what one is used to doing when your time is your own.  So, it's nice when they leave and you can return doing what you like to do that you put off doing while company staying with you.  Glad they came to visit, it was an enjoyable visit but now things are back to normal.

Sleep has been hit and miss over past five or six days but I'm hoping it's just the result of getting ready for company, hosting said company, and hoping they also enjoyed their stay as much as you enjoyed theirs.

Spirit Is and Tuesday's Tarot Energy is "Six of Vessels, Reunion: An emotional reunion can sometimes refer to the mystical  Karmic cycles that bring lover back through time, space and lifetimes.  The purpose of this 'soul reunion' may be manifold but it can be to complete unfinished business or to teach new lessons from old actions or wrong choices.  It can also refer to the coming together of a band of comrades, tribal or clan members or a brotherhood of loyal friends, gathering for the acknowledgement of their shared bond.  It may also refer to the reunion of the individual with their own true nature, in terms of a forgotten or rejected history or experience.  By meditating on a past issue with new wisdom and insight and an acceptance of personal responsibility and forgiveness, reclamation may take place.  A spiritual re-amalgamation of a facet of the individual's personality, for the purpose of clearing and self-empowerment, may be possible, and a healthy union in the soul the result.  Reassurance is gained from a reunion of this nature, revealing whether the correct path was taken and your decisions based on valid and honest instincts and motivations."

Wednesday's Tarot Energy is "Queen of Bows, Hare: A companion through life, sympathetic and understanding, leading you to a deeper awareness of what is needed to bring success to your every enterprise.  Wise and witty, gentle and kindly, the Queen supports you and strengthens your resolve.  Kindness and responsibility, An offering of peace and love, Helpfulness, courtesy, understanding, Enchantment, Success in business."

And today's Tarot Energy is "18 The Moon on Water heralds a time of inner transformation, initiation, or awareness.  This may take the form of a seemingly random situation based on the emotional or spiritual spheres, but your inner voice may have been whispering for some time and gone unheeded.  Now your soul brings into your physical world the symbolic keys to the collective human subconscious.  This may take the form of a desire to investigate or study a doctrine, philosophy or esoteric pursuit, or the wish to explore the untapped sexual energy and experience a tighter spiritual bond with a partner through honesty and the expression of your hidden desires.  From here, you can begin to wrestle with the concept that consciousness is not within you, but that you are within the consciousness of the universe."

For some strange reason I started to think about living life in the van and how much I could save by doing so.  I would not have to put storage fees for storing the van or the winter tires and other automobile related goodies for the car, and I would not have to pay for insurance on the car.  This amounts to a savings of almost $400.00.  Of course, I'd have to take of my own groceries but I'd have upwards of $400.00 to put toward my food costs.  Hhhmmm...I've never put any real numbers together before and now that I've put some though into it has become a very appealing idea.

But then I'm also faced with the need to pare down my possessions as I surely could not cram them all into the small, confined space of the van.  Something to think about in the back of my mind...

So with that idea out of the way I find myself wanting to put more energy into my studies of Tarot and Chakras.  I need to allow my energy to intertwine more intimately with both of these areas so that they are or maybe more accurately so that I become one with all of 78 Tarot and the 6/7 Chakras.  I am Tarot and I am Chakra.

And then maybe I'll begin to explore more fully and in more detail the idea of transitioning my life into a more nomadic life and take up home in my van.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Friday, The 4 of Cups and the Youth of Cups

Friday, February 20th, 2015.  Another work week in 2015 is behind us.  The week was busy, demanding, a bit stressful yet truly meaningful and dare I say, satisfying.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot Card is the “4 of Cups: The Audition.  A new opportunity or choice presents itself.  Everything hangs in the balance.  Nervousness, excitement” with further support guidance coming from the “Youth of Cups: Youthful emotions.  Daydreaming.  Shyness.”  And with today being Friday -- (VENUS): Love, friendship, reconciliation , and beauty.  And the Moon has moved into ARIES: Good for starting things, but lacks staying power. Things occur rapidly; but quickly pass. People tend to be argumentative and assertive.

Grasp the opportunities staring you in the face and don't fear the challenges that might be coming along with it.  Seize the moment and get the momentum of your life moving forward.  Don't let yourself become stationary for then your life will become if not simply stay stagnant.  Let the youthful feelings and energy of the day fill you with the courage to move forward to grab hold of this moment of opportunity with courage, confidence and the enthusiasm it deserves.

With the Moon in Aries you may doubt your chances but grasp the opportunity anyway as the Moon moves into Taurus next and your actions particularly in the coming days will carry you significantly forward and deepen the roots of your actions to the point where you will have a solid foundation from which to work.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The Ace of Cups and Love is the Focus of the Day

Sunday, February 9, 2014.  An out of the house kind of day where for several hours we accomplished a few things but had to postpone another errand due to a lack of time because I decided we should walk the many blocks from one store to another rather than drive along the gridlocked No. 3 Road in Richmond.  Driving would likely have been quicker but I enjoyed the walk much more.  Then we came home, relaxed, and did a whole heck of a lot of nothing.  Not really as I made notes on how to progress with a certain hobby as well as put a few minutes toward another.  My sort of weekend.  No real plans or agendas just plain and simple being.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Ace of Cups: A gift of love.  The beginning of a love affair, friendship, or partnership.”

This day is all about “LOVE”.  Emotional awareness, direct knowing, intuition, trusting one’s heart and feelings and being open and receptive to offers, gifts, and synchronistic events.  This is the kind of day where you can close your eyes and let your mind wander and let yourself be surprised by a word, phrase, or an idea that pops and stands out from the rest.  Or where you wander aimlessly around your neighbourhood, a park, or even the mall and be surprised by what comes your.  Synchronicity at work.

The Moon is in Gemini today but will also be "void of course" come the afternoon so activities started around this time may have surprising outcomes.  The Moon enters the sign of Cancer early Monday morning.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Have Fun!

Had another successful dinner with a friend last night and awoke at the perfect time as the Moon is still hanging about as the blazing Sun brightens this beautiful morning.  Unfortunately the building we live in does more to block the Moon than allowing me to see her as I love to go out on the deck in the evening to look up at the night sky, amazed at the stars and planets I can see amongst the bright lights of the city but especially when I can see the Moon in all her glory.

Thank You Spirit.

Today’s visiting Taro t Card is “VII The Chariot: Among the highs and lows of life, make sure you enjoy the highs.  At the top of one’s. Seizing an opportunity.  Having everything under control (barely).”  As I read in the Collins gem book “Tarot” I need to have “confidence, strength of purpose...and endurance”.  I think that I can muster these but only with adopting good “organizational skills” that Collins Gem also mentions.  I have to be mindful to work at creating my own life with much focus and forethought.  I need to be aware of what I’m really after as well as maintain a steady an unwavering focus on my dreams and goals.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Open My Eyes - VXI Revelation

I was doing my own thing yesterday when my partner called suggesting we go downtown, renew our passports, watch a movie and have dinner.  I was out of the house at the time working on my RVing Adventure so I had to race home, shave, eat lunch, and be ready to go rather quickly.  I did it, got home and shaved and was starting to eat when my partner came home from work.

We made it to downtown Vancouver between 1:30 and 2:00pm had our passport photos taken twice, time is ticking as it took awhile for the second ones to get printed—camera problems apparently.

Then we hustled down to submit our passport renewal forms with photos—oops the photos were not dated by the retailer—thankfully having the receipt was good enough-$87.00 later for each of us and we were on our within about an hour and we had an hour before movie time.

We had a quick coffee, tea and snack before the movie, “The Impossible” starring Naomi Watts,  Ewan McGregor, and Tom Holland.  My partner wished to see it more for the Spanish influence in the making of the movie more than anything else and seeing one of his favourite actors also may have had something to do with it as well.  I like the movie, it was well done, acting was superb, especially Tom Holland, great young and upcoming actor.

After the movie we decided to walk to pub we’ve been wanting to try for a long time but the timing was never right or it was closed but tonight we lucked out and had a decent meal at “Moose’s Down Under”, an Australian inspired restaurant, bar and grill.  The food was average to good but loved the atmosphere and the server was friendly and cheerful.  We’d probably do back.

Slept alright last night but awoke early as I did not appreciate the dream or dreams I was having, one seemed to want to stick around for awhile.  But I’m feeling pretty darned good after awaking in a bit of a funk, so thank you Spirit.

And before I forget the Moon looks amazing in the sky these days, haven’t seen her in awhile...

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “XVI Revelation: “While it is usually best to tell the truth about yourself to those who are close to you, it can be a painful experience.  A necessary destruction of the status quo.  Having to tell someone an unwelcome truth.  A new idea which upsets others.”  I need to open my eyes and see through the illusion.  I need to see through divine eyes and deal with whatever pain, hurt, and guilt that may come with the dawning of this new day.  Turning things upside down may be the best way to move forward with a clean slate and a new and fresh outlook at what is possible.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
