I didn't realize I hadn't posted anything since Tuesday. It's been a tough week for some reason. I lost my focus and seemed to be operating aimlessly and mindlessly as I was just not into or feeling anything. I perked up briefly when I discovered that Sage Woman, Witches and Pagans and Circle magazines all have issues out that are right up my alley. But then I withered a little bit and felt like a living breathing human shell without mind or brain...and then yesterday afternoon upon returning to the office I discovered that I messed up some shipments I labelled on Tuesday. How could I do that? I'm at a loss for reason because the packages all have packing slips on them and all one needs to do is match the shipping label to the appropriate boxes. Only two mistakes have been discovered but I awoke in a panic that all six or so shipments might have been mislabelled.
I'm feeling better now that I'm out of bed and have my candle and incense burning and tarot decks out. And of course, having picked up the current issues of Sage Woman and Circle magazines yesterday has filled me with much needed energy. I might simply order a digital edition of Witches and Pagans so I can have all three but I'll wait until after Monday as I'll have an opportunity to stop by a different bookstore and see if I grab a print copy from there first. Something that gets sucked out of me at the job is my energy. And with not having gone to the gym all this week nor being spiritually focused has left me totally drained.
Spirit Is and today's Wildwood Tarot Energy is "8 The Stag: On a personal level, some kind of adjustment or interaction has taken place. The key word here is 'responsibility'. We must, as individuals, constantly observe the rules and regulations of society, and these can fluctuate as the views and knowledge of civilization change. Whether on a political or moral level, we subconsciously know when a realignment of our perception is due. This is a time to welcome the justice that has arrived with the coming of spring and the fire of creation. Face the coming season with honesty and integrity and trust to right and appropriate action."
I totally understand this card on a personal level however it is also my wish, my desire that all people get to understand the meaning of "8 The Stag" especially in the United States where the political climate may be bring that country back into the past that so many people struggled or lost their lives in order to bring about positive and morally and ethically responsible changes to the way people were treated.
I understand my responsibilities in life and am doing my best to change my circumstances and situation so that I can better serve mankind on a personal and more intimate level, if you will. Removing myself from my current job is I admit a struggle for me but I know that it's the right thing to do and that I need to leave it and focus instead on doing spiritual good works. Perhaps, almost like following in the footsteps of Jesus. I'm not a christian, however the life and story of Jesus to me is a good one and I have no problem in believing in his existence just not the religious institution that was built upon his name and life's works.
This is the responsibility I feel and feel that I need to take on and do something with. I want to help open up hearts and minds so that people can experience the beauty of and the meaning of life as I have but as it is for them.
Thank You Spirit.
Sunday, August 14, 2016. A relaxing morning led to an afternoon at the beach that led to an easy meal courtesy of Wendy's and their Summer Berry Salads that led to catching the tail end of the New Westminster Pride Festival the River Market Summer Night Market that made for a complete day. Yet, I still managed to read many more pages from "The Wizard Within"
Speaking of reading, I managed to very much relax and read a few articles out of a couple of my favourite magazines--Sage Woman and Witches & Pagans while at the beach. We spent about three hours soaking up the sun at Wreck before returning home.
Albert Thor, the author of "The Wizard Within" has really written an eye opening and spirit awakening book. And last night the 20 odd pages that I read really hit home and has fully awakened my slumbering spirit. I fell asleep with many a phrase from the book coursing through my mind and that found their way into my subconscious and my dreams. Now I understand the many comments that people have made about this book and I echo all of them. And I haven't even finished reading the book!
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the “Youth of Wands: Focusing attention on something. Reaching for a goal from a possibly unsteady foundation.”
Sometimes we are filled with so much strength from spiritually infused courage and solid convictions about our goals and our reaching them that we go for it from a possibly unsteady foundation. This does not mean that we will fail but we may trip or fall along the way but still find success from/for our efforts. Although it is best to start from a steady footing, if the timing is right but we're not quite on solid ground, reaching for our goals now could be the best way to achieve them.
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
Monday, September 21, 2015. A nice relaxing evening piddling around with my model railroad and reading articles from 'Sage Woman', 'Witches & Pagans', and 'Circle Magazine'. Such spiritually enriching articles that really touch the core of my being. As I read I feel the weight of my body disappear and the room around fade into absolute nothingness and I simply am one with the spirit and energy of each article.
However, as quickly as I fell asleep I seemingly awoke then struggled to find my sleep mojo. I dozed and fell asleep for awhile, awoke, fell asleep again, then repeat a couple of more times until the alarm sang to us and gently lifted us out of slumber.
Spirit Is 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."
My inner calling is to be completely spiritual both in my personal life and as a calling I must follow. I need spirituality as a career. I'm working on this however, I need help doing it. I need clients I have a website and a blog so if feel that I can be of assistance to you or anyone else please do not hesitate to make contact. I want to be inspired by you and inspire you as much as I can in return. I'd love to hear from you. Whether it's to seek my services or offer advice send me a message and let's see where it takes us.
What is "18 The Moon on Water" asking of you? Where does it want you to go? Now that you know that we're "within the consciousness of the universe" let's go exploring and see what we find.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
I had another successful work day yesterday. Had to tweak a few computers and deal with issues we could not possibly resolve on our own and that was trying. Somewhere, someone dropped the ball but the mistake was fixed through the “backdoor” so-to-speak and lo and behold the computers suddenly had remote access. Papers and supplies were organized and all the computers and printers are up and running. I must give thanks to my previous co-worker for teaching me everything I know, barely know at that. Thank You Spirit.
This cold I’m battling is getting me down and I have a hard time functioning between it and the drugs I’m taking to combat it so I more or less plunk myself down on the sofa and watch the world go on around me. Actually, quite surprisingly I was able to read a little bit last night and thoroughly enjoyed the article I read in Sage Woman magazine Issue 83. The magazine is aimed at the mature female witch but I find the articles and information quite useful in my own life as a witch. Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “IV The Emperor: Sometimes one must be a benevolent despot. Organization. Taking charge. An authority figure. Utilizing discipline to provide a structure for creativity.”
This is a very helpful card for me at this time as I need to take charge of my life and provide myself with some organization and structure and the best way I can do that is to respectfully learn from my past as well as to take time to make plans. I need to write things down and commit my thoughts and ideas to paper so they become concrete and part of my purpose. Having concrete ideas before me gives these ideas form, structure, and energy that will be intertwined with all energy that will help me bring them to fruition.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Awoke a little later today than since we returned from Boston. I did get up to go pee in the middle of the night but unlike previous times did not fall back to sleep quickly. This is a good thing though as it helps me to get back in sync with our own time zone.
Last night I read an article on pages 12-15 in issue 83 of Sage Woman magazine and discovered Isis, "Queen of Heaven and Mistress of Magic". As I finished reading the article my fingers were tingling and I had an intuitive sense of a deep connection with the Divine. The article, "Finding Isis Sheltered by Her Wings" was written by Jen McConnel who revisited her travel to Egypt to find and connect with Isis, a connection that appeared to not be in the cards for her until they visited Upper Egypt and the temple of Philae.
Thank you Isis for touching me!
Spirit is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “VI The Lovers: A relationship is always a mingling of differences. A powerful relationship. Seeing both sides of an issue. Flexibility". I obviously need to step back and observe things in life as an outsider in order to have a better understanding of my life and where I am in life as well as decisions or the decisions I need to make in my life in order for me to move forward in a more positive and loving way.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
I had another great night’s sleep. Another weird dream and I’m not sure who was involved however I was trying to use a bathroom perhaps at my Mom and Dad’s old place or maybe it was on a train but the door would not latch properly and as I was struggling to lock the door a woman tried to come in claiming to have to really go. She quite a beautiful black woman. I eventually convinced her that I was not giving up the bathroom until I used it and she disappeared into the doorway across the hall and I successfully locked the door and did my own bathroom business.
As I was paging through “Sage Woman” magazine I was scanning through the books they recommend at the back of the magazine and one particular title caught my attention and I do not think that this is the first time I’ve been stopped and made to think about this book. It is “The Path of a Christian Witch". I just may need to purchase it as it makes sense to me as well to accept Jesus of Nazareth and Mary of Magdala as my God and Goddess. A while back as was communing with the Gods, Jesus' name parsed my lips as eventually did Mary's and I've been pondering this since then.
Spirit is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Man of Swords: A rational, scientific approach. A thorough investigation.” I think this is for me to look at my future in this regard as I do want to have a life in an RV however I am on shay financial ground right now and am quite secure where I am however dissatisfied I may be living a stationary life right now it may be the best solution for the immediate future. As is looking for a part-time job. I think I could handle three days a week but no more as I am quite happy now with my crafting. I’m in a good place, experiencing a bit of “Zen” really and I quite like it and do not want it to stop.
Thank You Spirit!
Blessed Be.
