Being Bold and Asking For Your Help!

Sunday, April 17, 2016 at 11:25am.  An emerging picture is forming in my mind and it's a path forward but only path forward with your help, financial if I may be so bold as to put this out there.  My current job is sapping me of my energy, my spirit and my life force and in not wanting to jump from one to another and maybe from the frying pan into the fire so-to-speak I simply wish to move from my current life sucking job and go to work fulltime as Wizard Oron.

And as you all know finances are important and in order to work for myself and offer my spiritual services to others I'd like to earn $100 per day, with a goal of working every single day of the month and the year, spiritual services never rest.  And I need to be on the road.  My spirit soars, my life force lights up each and every time I'm out driving and what better way to serve folks like you than being out on the road where I can meet and interact with you in person!

Heck, if you need me to help you in other ways, I'm more than willing to help...mending a fence, working in your garden pulling up weeds or giving it a good watering I'm there for you.  What chores can I assist you with?  What a wonderful way for me nurture my spirit and soothe my soul...working hard to make your life just a little bit easier...

...since I live in the Metro Vancouver region let me start working for you here...a simple card of the day, a quick glance at what's at hand, or a bit of spiritual coaching and guidance I'm ready, willing and able to serve...and I thank YOU all in advance...

Thank You Spirit.

Namaste.

The 'Ace of Cups', the Gift of Love, Partnership and Friendship from Spiritually Working for and with Others

Sunday, April 17, 2016.  Relaxed a good part of the day yesterday after bringing Serenity into the shop for an oil change and maintenance check.  Four hours later I got a call from the service department letting me know that the oil change was completed but that they had some recommended service that should be.  It's not an absolute necessity that it be completed now so I opted to wait.  The upper and lower ball joints need to be replaced and an alignment completed however with parts, labour and taxes the bill is upwards of $1800.00.  I'll discuss this with my favoured repair shop to see if they can handle the repair at all since they couldn't bring the van into their shop to do the required maintenance check as she's a bit too large.

If they can't do it I'll check with another place I know of through my job.  I'm anticipating the bill will be less than what the Ford dealership quoted me but then again who knows.  For now, we'll wait.  We'll take her out next week , the 25th as planned and then I'll go from there.

Spirit's time is now and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “Ace of Cups: A gift of love.  The beginning of a love affair, friendship, or partnership.”

I love my morning routine on the weekends, a routine that I need to carry over to the rest of the week.  As I envision myself living not only a spiritual life but also a spiritual career I am witness to how fulfilling and gratifying my days are as the entire day is filled with Spirit and spiritual matters.  Whether it be a Tarot Reading for someone, spiritual coaching and guidance for another or chakra work for yet another, or mystical research I live a complete and full day that is more beneficial and satisfying for both those whom I serve as well as myself.

This is the "gift of love", "friendship, or partnership" that I see this wonderful "Ace of Cups" offering us today.

Thank You Spirit.

Namaste.

'V The Priest' and XX Beyond Jugdement' Bring Freedom and Success

Saturday, April 16, 2016.  What a busy and hectic work day that started as soon as I walked in the door and didn't end until I walked out.  And on Monday it will start all over again but I'm not going to think about that.  As last night we unwound with a visit from a friend, good conversation, and pretty darned good food at Boston Pizza.

Spirit's Time Is Now!

Yesterday's visiting Gay Tarot Energy is “V The Priest: The best way to help others is to help them make their own decisions.  Wisdom.  Advice.  A ceremony or ritual.”

Today's Gay Tarot Energy is “XX Beyond Judgement: Self-acceptance must come before liberation.  Freedom from others’ expectations. Trying to make conditions better for others.  Altruism.  Pride. Self-acceptance.”

Freedom and success can only come from self-acceptance and freeing one's self from the expectations of others.  I'm truly a non-conformist and find more often than not that I really do not fit into the same mold as everyone else.  I often feel at odds with the rest of society as I do not buy into the expectations of and the "right way" to live in the world.  I am an oddball, for sure!

Are we living to work?  Or working to live?

I don't want to offend anyone here but why is chasing the almighty dollar the right way to live?  What about quality of life?  What about chasing after doing what's right for everyone and making sure the world is fair to everyone and that we all have food, shelter, clothing, freedom, safety and security and so forth?

That's enough of me standing on my soapbox...

I wholeheartedly accept myself for who I am and the way I think for I firmly believe that my thoughts, idea, actions and decisions are guided by Spirit and that the path I'm taking is truly the right and only one for me regardless of what others may think!

Thank You Spirit.

Namaste.

The '3 of Coins' and Getting Lost in Pleasurable Work

Wednesday, April 13, 2016.  I awoke well before the alarm this morning and did not sleep a wink for ninety minutes, I just tossed and turned waiting for the alarm to start its serenade at 6:00am sharp.  Luckily, I did not get out of bed feeling tired nor did the busy work day allow me to feel tired.

Spirit's time is now and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “3 of Coins: A child’s room.  Creating a positive environment for someone.  Work done for the pleasure of it."

I don't often wash the dishes but after arriving home work yesterday I got right into washing the few breakfast dishes left in the sink so my partner didn't have to do them.  I downright enjoyed doing those dishes.  It was to my surprise an activity that filled me with pleasure and gratitude.

And although I more often than not dislike my job, well perhaps dislike is too strong of word but more often than not I do not feel at home with my job or that I'm doing the right thing by remaining at the job, the one aspect I do enjoy is my interaction with customers and/or potential customers.

Also, I'm doing a far, far, far better job of keeping a more peaceful and relaxing home environment with the energy that I bring into the home by my thoughts, decisions, and actions.  I'm enjoying the loving and peaceful person that is more and more each day shining through...that would be me!  And this is reflected in and also radiates from my partner.

And then of course, this writing, my blogs, my model railroad, my relationship and my spiritual life and activities are never tiring to do nor do I ever get bored with any of them.

Thank You Spirit.

Namaste.

The 'Eight of Wands' and Welcoming the Fruits of Our Labour

Thursday, March 31, 2016.  Awoke and got out of bed a little earlier this morning to take care of an errand that had us calling Toronto.  And since they are three hours ahead we thought it best to get it out of the way earlier than later while we're getting ready for work.  The call took about ten minutes so this allowed a bit more time to enjoy the morning a little more than usual and to do it in a more relaxed way.  Very nice!

Spirit Is and today's Pagan Tarot Energy is the "Eight of Wands: In a happier scene than the Seven of Wands, our Witch is sorting mail that contains money.  She sits comfortable while reading one of the letters.  The Wands that were threatening in the Seven now bring good tidings.  She is finally enjoying the return on her investment that she sent out in the Three of Wands.  Events that you set in motion in the past are now moving toward you, for good or ill.  If you have consciously invested in something, you will enjoy the fruits of your labour.  If you have sent out bad energy, this will be a period of reaping what you have sown."

What more can be said here.  I'm confident that the last couple of months for me have been of sending out pretty darned good positive vibes and energy and does it ever feel good to do it.  I was listening to songs many weeks ago and one of them was "Happy Day" or something similar and as the song replayed in my mind new words formed: "with Spirit's kiss my heart and soul are filled with bliss".

An then today towards the afternoon I had success after two or three frustrating weeks of trying to repair some equipment in the work warehouse.  The two machines have been stressing me out day in and day out and after what I thought was a bit of success yesterday near the end of the day was not there this morning.   Aaarrrggghhh...but then I had an "a-ha" moment where I removed a piece of wire that was acting like an extension piece and "ta-da" the machines worked perfectly.  Yippee!

Let's see what tomorrow brings.

However, this does not change my feelings about the job and my decision to quit the job sometime soon!

So if we've all been well behaved then the "Eight of Wands" is a very nice card to see and energy to feel and have on this day.

Thank You Spirit, Thank You So Very Much!

Namaste.

The 'Ace of Wands' and Using Creativity and Inspiration to Change Direction

Wednesday, March 30, 2016.  A new day but another stressful day on the job.  Equipment repairs that won't easily give up what their problem is makes for a challenging day.  Two out of four pieces of equipment have been readily diagnosed and one fully repaired and tested but the others are proving to be tough nuts to crack.  Made tougher by employers that are unequivocally taking advantage of the employees that work for them, me included.  Aaarrrgggghhh!

Time to move on and now it's not a matter if, only when.  I'm guilty of not dealing with the job honestly with myself...glossing over so many overt signs where the workplace environment is not all that calm, smooth, or friendly.  It's tense, chaotic, and sometimes mean spirited.  Ouch!

Thankfully, Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “Ace of Wands: A creative inspiration. The beginning of a project or venture.”

Creativity and inspiration for me have come from nature, magazines, and staring at my Tarot cards and model railroad layout at various times of the day.  How about for you?  Where is the creative and inspirational energy coming from for you today?

I'm getting on with harnessing all of this great and powerful creative and inspirational energy to steer my life toward a summer rich in Spirit, Tarot, Coaching, Chakras, Mystical Research and camaraderie with family and friends.  Especially my sister and her family and my Dad and his wife.  I want to spend more time with them and owe them much more of my time.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Tuesday, March 29, 2016.  Busy work days are good for making time pass by quickly however it's sometimes hard to unwind once you get home.  I hit the gym after work yesterday but still found it difficult to shed the stress of the work day and then my sleep is affected.  I slept better last night but still awoke a few times so my sleep was not as refreshing and relaxing as it was on the weekend.  I hope I can find other ways to help me unwind more quickly.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “Youth of Cups: Youthful emotions.  Daydreaming.  Shyness.”

"Daydreaming" and "Shyness" are the energy of the day, at least for me.  I'm feeling a lot more shy today than I've felt in years and I had lunch at a rest area in the Chilliwack area and spent half of my lunchtime daydreaming about various things.  Sitting at a picnic table on a bright sunny day will do that, I guess.  The temperature gauge in the van showed that it was 22 Celsius.  At one point I didn't feel like I was on the job but as time ticked by and my lunchtime was coming to an end I didn't feel like returning to the van or remainder of the work day still left to get through.


Daydreams can lead us astray if we let them however if we understand them well enough we can work with the energy they create and put it to good use in our own lives or even in the lives of others.  And shyness can be a bit awkward but sometimes it can open doors for us that we've never seen before so keep your shy eyes open for opportunities that might be hidden in plain sight.

The 'Two of Swords' and Hard Choices?

Sunday, March 27, 2016.  Mindfulness was our word of the day yesterday as a health piece on the local news discussed this and reminded my partner of an article in the college paper that also discussed this.  I mentioned that this is very well known in pagan, wiccan and new age circles and has been for a very long time.  So we both practiced mindfulness throughout the day and what an enjoyable each of us had in both our separate activities and things we did together.

Spirit Is and today's Pagan Tarot Energy is the "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."

Making a choice, a decision based on the choice itself or the choices themselves...hhhmmm...what is or what are the choices I am facing?

One choice that comes to mind is the "job".  Do I keep working at a place that robs and is demeaning for many employees or do I take leave of this job and take my chances as Wizard Oron: Spiritualist, Spiritual Coach, Tarot Intuitive, Chakra Worker and Mystical Researcher?  Or do I seek out another job that may or may not be any better than the one I have now?  Or do I stay at the current job and make a stand up for my fellow employees and seek better treatment for us all, as I find myself struggling to walk through that door each and every morning?

If I'm truly honest with myself, I think (realistically know) the decision has already been made.  But do I have the courage to follow through with it?

Hhhmmm...Tarot by Donation is floating through my mind.  But getting back to my need to make a choice, the choice is made and that is that I cannot keep the job I currently have so I'm putting it out there and asking for help so I can free myself from the encumbrances of a job that no longer serves me or my needs.  I need to move forward in the pursuit of my goals and I'm asking the universe for help.  Not only do I need to live more fully through the pursuit of my passions I also need to as I said about a week ago, to make more time for my family: Dad, brother, sister, niece, nephew and brother-in-law.  And the universe responds and guides me as to go about leaving the job and taking up my long sought after spiritual career.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 'Initiate of Pentacles' and Enjoying the Journey as Much as or More than the Destination

Saturday, March 26, 2016.  Awoke to dreams of me and how dedicated and focused I can be to a given task.  Years ago when my Dad was trading in his 1978 Ford LTD II, I cleaned that car top to bottom, inside and out.  I worked hours doing this without a break and sweat pouring out of like a waterfall because I was working so hard.  Another time I was doing some electrical wiring in my parent's home and I didn't take a break until the job was done around dinner time and boy was I ever starving.  Two simple reminders of how focused and dedicated I can be.

Today's Pagan Tarot Energy is the "Initiate of Pentacles:  The suit of Pentacles and its corresponding element, Earth, is feminine and is the mother of comfort, security and a solid foundation of grounding, so a woman with long, simple dark hair represents the Initiate.  She wears a green robe with a brown stole and two necklaces.  She holds a bowl of crystal points and an altar pentacle.  The Initiate is preparing to hand the pentacle to her priestess for ritual use.  A large basket of fruit and a loaf of bread are nearby.  This Initiate has been particularly industrious and productive.  She takes great pleasure in the act of creating but can be in danger of focusing too much on the creation itself."

The last line is what grabs my attention the most as I am often guilty of focusing too much "on the creation itself" that I miss the lesson itself and the sheer joy and pleasure that comes in and with the process of creation.  Sure this joy and pleasure and can be mixed with a dash or more of frustration and roadblocks but this creates opportunities for growth, nurturance and valuable lessons that then allow us to better appreciate and celebrate the final creation.  Then we find out that this final creation isn't the end but merely the beginning of something larger and greater than ourselves and whatever we imagined it would be.

So yes, it's okay to focus on the goal at hand but don't forget about and celebrate and enjoy the journey that gets you there for sometimes you discover that the journey is the goal or leads you to something far better than what your were aiming for.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

4 of Coins and Willing to Give Up Control for Change

Thursday, February 13th, 2014.  So I was awake well before the alarm or so I think and as I try to do I did my mental spiritual preparation and fell asleep doing it and picking it up upon awaking.  I awoke quite a few times throughout the night and was expecting a long tough sleepy day but to my surprise I was not tired but the day still seemed longer than normal.  Maybe it was all my electronic paperwork I was doing all day!

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “4 of Coins: The Lighting Director.  A position of power.  Wanting to control how others perceive things.”

Exerting excessive control over one’s life is not healthy so the best option is to exercise moderate control and a good degree of flexibility in our lives.  We need to be spiritually strong and alert so as to know when control is needed and when change has to occur.

I may need to adopt some change or even many changes in my life to keep myself moving toward my dreams, goals, and desires before my chances are slim and next to none in realizing any of them.  I need to perhaps be bold and daring and throw chance to the wind, take a huge risk and go for it.  Go for what exactly?  Be all that I wish to be, is what.  A writer, a ventriloquist, a Spiritualist (Tarot and Wicca, Mystical Research) and a nomad traveling at a snail’s pace across this great land in my tiny, old RV.  I’m giving myself two years or less to become debt free and then I’m out the door and on my way!

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

4 of Coins, Learning, Evolving, and Allowing Change

Sunday, January 5, 2014.  We’ve a quiet and comfortable weekend thus far and today should be no different.  Even our late afternoon shopping trip was not all that bad so today shall be a nice quiet stay at home kind of day.  I slept in this morning.  In bed around 11:00pm and awaking at 8:30am.  What a great night’s sleep.  I really relaxed overnight.  Impressive!

Thank You Spirit.

The sun is shining brightly this morning and we are having ourselves a fine day so we will enjoy it as much as possible as the week is going to become wet, wet, wet!  A couple of days of cooler and cold temperatures for the tropics of Canada then we’re back into the wet and soggy weather we are known for.  Nice!

As I’m writing this I’m also reflecting on today’s visiting Tarot Card as well as the card of the year.  I realized I have not looked at a Tarot Card for the year for some time, not since 2002 or 2003 when I was only dabbling in Tarot and not taking it too seriously but where it did have an impact on my life.  And with this I say thank you again Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “4 of Coins: The Lighting Director.  A position of power.  Wanting to control how others perceive things.”

With this card I must realize that I cannot and should not try to exert control over anything other than my own life.  Freedom must be allowed to flow in life and all things that come and go.  I can defend and preserve but never claim control over anyone or anything.  Choice must be allowed to exist.  Additionally, I must be open to change in my own life.  In fact, I welcome change into my life, especially needed change that I might be resisting.  Change come and move me.  Sometimes we must allow ourselves to freely float along the current of lie in order for change to occur and the best things to come into our lives.

In fact, I think this is happening to me now.  2013 has been a year of lessons, learning, and evolving.  Have I learned and evolved?  A little bit but more learning and growth is necessary and as my Tarot Card of the Year suggest I will be growing and evolving as the year progresses and this is a good thing.  I’m actually surprised as ideas I never gave much thought to are coming back into my mind and making themselves known to me yet again.  Hints at where my life should be headed if I am open to change, and I am definitely open to needed change.  Let’s do it!

So as I contemplated life and an whole lot of nothing last night the idea of what I’m all about filled my mind and the idea I had of creating business cards for my crafting business gave way to business cards for my spiritual pursuits and endeavors.

Wizard Oron, Tarot Card Consultant and Mystical Researcher at your service.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Sage of Wands and Being Bold and Daring

Happy Birthday Brother.

I continue to learn and grow and trust in Spirit and the influence of intuition and the energy that flows in and around and through each and every one of us.  I am see, feel and sense the Divine Presence all around me and in my houseplants, books, crafts and all of nature that graces our city including the spiders that have taken residence on our deck.  Thank You Spirit.

Although, my activity at my RV yesterday may have seemed to have not been much of an accomplishment I accomplished plenty in terms of learning and Spiritual growth as I allowed myself to simply be and absorb and interact with the energy flowing around and through me.  For the first time in a long time I simply sat and sat comfortably in a chair and enjoyed being home.  Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Sage of Wands: Wanting to change the world.  Changing your environment by winning others over to your viewpoint.  Critical acclaim.  Politics.”

As I was awaking from my slumber I was contemplating and almost resigning myself to the idea of finally applying for jobs and in a sense giving up on my dreams of life in an RV.  I’m trying my best fix up the RV so I can take up residence in a home where my heart and soul wish to be but at the same time I’m taking time away from developing a website that will connect me with the rest of the world and provide the world with a glimpse of what I have to offer—handcrafted greeting cards and bracelets, knitted items, ventriloquism, a mystery hobby, Tarot, Mystical Research, and Metaphysical Science and whatever other talents may come of use while on the road.

In having given serious thought to working for someone else the Sage of Wands pays me a visit.  He is reminding to be bold and daring, to believe in and have the courage of my convictions as well as to believe in myself.  I need to harness the energy I once had that gave me the assurance to take risks and win.  I need to understand and appreciate and know with unflinching courage and conviction that I’m already on the path I wish to lead and I must not allow doubt(s) to creep in and take hold as I am forging my own path and doing so with much power and energy with me every step of the way.

I Believe.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
