The 'Page of Vessels, Otter' and a Sense of Fair Play

Sunday, September 20, 2015.  What a day of accomplishments we had yesterday.  We tackled our storage locker in an effort to clean it up and organize it.  We did both.  By the time we finished the locker was less than half full and we had a car full of stuff to either give to the Salvation Army or bring to a variety of antique or consignment stores.  Since I have shifted gears I also made the decision to clean up what I will now refer to as my model railroad cabinet and temporarily brought down all of my crafting and card making supplies to the storage locker which is now full.  However, my brother is going up to our home town near the end of October so I've asked him to bring my crafting and card making supplies up with him as I'm giving it all to my niece and sister.

Whew!

I feel great now that I've freed myself of a lot of stuff that has been hidden away in boxes for well over ten years.  I looked through it all, had my moments and memories and then let it go as I filled myself with the essence and energy of what all of this stuff created in terms of memories and emotions that is now a part of the fabric of my being.  I've enriched my spirit and now our stuff can find a new home and may they create new feelings and memories for others.

Then it was onto dinner and enjoying the evening which we did.  Dinner was satiating and the evening filled with model railroading.  And suddenly it was time for bed as sleep washed over us shortly before 11:00pm.

Sleep was great.  Could I have slept longer perhaps but I slept right through the night so I decided to crawl out of bed around 5:30am.  I slept in on Saturday so what the heck.

Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the "Page of Vessels, Otter: As a dreamer and a visionary, you weave a spell that few can resist.  Your loyalty, devotion and sense of fair play mark you out as an individual whose will is tempered by  profound understanding of the otherworld.  Loyalty, Devotion, Study, Willingness to serve, Vision and contemplation, Co-operation, Perceptiveness."

If we continually strengthen and maintain our connection with Spirit and the cosmic energy that is the very fabric of our being, of our existence we will always be able to display our "sense of fair play" through "loyalty, devotion" and a keen sense of what we can give and take in our relationships whether at home, in the workplace or amongst friends and family.

It all boils down to allowing our natural state of being shine through and that is our spirit.  If we walk through life as spiritual beings and extend ourselves spiritually to others we then connect with everyone we come into contact on a truly spiritual level thus allowing a naturally loving connection and interaction to occur in all our relationships.  Be guided by Spirit and let your spirit lead and guide you in all that you do.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'Page of Vessels', 'Ace of Bows', and the 'Two of Stones'

Saturday, June 13, 2015.  We'll end up being without the full use of our kitchen for two weeks.  Our quartz countertop will not be installed until this coming Wednesday or Thursday then the plumber has to come in to create and connect the water lines and drain pipes to the sink.  I could probably do it but its best done by a certified plumber simply because we live in a condo tower and I do not want to be held responsible for any potential leaks that might occur as a result of my work.

Our household has been turned upside down by the kitchen renovation.  I'm sure we will soon forget the mess we've been living in for the past week plus one ore but it is off-putting and stressful to be in and responsible for the disorganized mess we find ourselves in.

Last night we cut our oak butcher block style countertop to size as well as the resized old butcher block one so it could find a new home in the pass through.  It makes a huge difference in the look of this open space between the kitchen and our living space.  I can't wait to enjoy it when this project is completely wrapped up.

We'll likely be eating dinner out until the kitchen is complete as dinner is the most challenging meal to eat when we have no working plumbing in the kitchen.  Too many dirty dishes are produced and we just don't have the useable space to create such a mess then no means to wash and clean up after such a meal.

However, all through this process I've been very calm, level-headed, patient, almost serene and very much in tune with spirit and nature.  I have a great sense of wholeness and belonging that I do not ever remember feeling before.  Although I still have a job that I go to and a full work day to complete I do not feel too burdened by this as I rather feel more like Wizard Oron than being an employee paying my dues and earning my keep.

A shift in consciousness and spirit has occurred deep within me and change is definitely afoot.  I am slowly but ever surely filling the shoes and role of Wizard Oron as my natural state of being and true identity.

Spirit Is and Thursday's visiting Tarot is the "Page of Vessels, Otter: As a dreamer and a visionary, you weave a spell that few can resist.  Your loyalty, devotion and sense of fair play mark you out as an individual whose will is tempered by  profound understanding of the otherworld. Loyalty, Devotion, Study, Willingness to serve, Vision and contemplation, Co-operation, Perceptiveness."

Friday's visiting Tarot is the "Ace of Bows, Spark of Life: By shaping, directing and persevering with the tool that both hunts and nurtures fire, we kindle the spark that starts the process of creation and empowerment.  This takes skill, effort, commitment and persistence, but the universe always responds with enlightenment, challenge and opportunity.  This is the nature of the human relationship with creation, and leads to a deeper awareness of the part we must play in the great scheme of things.  Harnessing the energy inherent in the bow, and the skill and endurance needed to loose the hunter's arrows accurately and efficiently, are as primal and ancient as human existence itself.  Every native tribe on Earth developed the bow as a tool, and choosing, shaping and tuning the bow stave and the arrows is a time-consuming and demanding craft that hones our skills and widens our knowledge of all materials required in this ancient art.  This also includes the habits and patterns of nature associated with the prey the hunter seeks and may infuse the archer with a new respect and reverence for the creatures that inhabit the Wildwood.  Be prepared to learn new skills, adapt to a changing environment and focus and tune your instincts to the task at hand."

Today's, Saturday's visiting Tarot is the "Two of Stones, Challenge: Many challenges or rivalries are born of insecurity and subconscious issues with peers and colleagues.  Usually, it is these emotions rather than actual malice or personal ill-will that dictates a rival's mistrust or undermining of your efforts.  In the modern material world, where so much emphasis is placed on a show of power or wealth, it is often a perceived position or status that enflames jealousy, rather than the reality of a situation.  Holding your own ground and defending your position at such times can be achieved by keeping in touch with pure and positive motivations and holding on to personal integrity and sincerity, which is the basis for any fair and enduring material reward or advancement.  Some competition and honest differences of opinion can be productive and even beneficial.  Remain clear and focused on your objectives and stay firm  in your ethical efforts to proceed with a plan or project."

Do not let slip away our natural connection to the 'otherworld' for this is where we harness the strength and energy to carry ourselves forward here on the earthly plane.  Our ties to the 'otherworld' provide us with the light, hope, and inspiration to continue striving to live our lives fully and completely while honouring our connection to the rest of nature and the cosmos-what we are very much a part of and very much integrated with and reliant upon.  Never allow yourself to be convinced of or have the mindset that we are separate from and superior to nature.  We are neither.  We are merely guests and cannot and do not exercise any authority or control over the power, energy, and force of nature and the cosmos.

Meditate with Tarot, Spirit, Nature and the Cosmos and know that you are communing with and meditating with much larger parts your true being and identity.  Only then can we be blessed with the gifts and bounty of what they have to offer us here on the earthly plane.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
