Sunday, February 7, 2016. A quiet day at home and a mountain grew...grew on my model railroad. Right now it's just a roughed in version and does not look like much more than what it is, stacked layers of pink foam insulation. But give it time...and it will be transformed...transformed into a beautiful mountain landscape with a water fall and a campground making homes there.
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is “Ace of Cups: A gift of love. The beginning of a love affair, friendship, or partnership.”
For me today, the “Ace of Cups" represents self-love, loving and accepting oneself so one can be liberated and free of the encumbrances placed upon them as they grow up in society and a culture that may limit their human potential, mask their true identity and blunt their true purpose in life.
So go ahead and have a love affair with yourself, become your own best friend, and be the best partner that you can be to yourself and the spread this same gift to others...be asining example of liberated love.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Friday, November 13th, 2015. Another work week has come to an end however the day has become a day of violence and mourning as Paris has again come under attack. May we all send our healing and loving light and energy to the Parisian's who need all the support they can get in their time in need.
Sleep was kind to me last night although I wanted to staying sleeping even with the sweet serenade of the alarm and the soft awaking it provides us. But as always we slipped out of bed and got on with our day. Besides, the job is not all that bad and is at times somewhat relaxing and dare I say enjoyable.
However, with having said that, I must admit and maybe even lament the fact that I'm not actively working with Spirit or Tarot during the day and this is something I simply love to be doing. Soon it will be so!
Oh, and it is once again Lucky Friday the 13th.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is "11 The Woodward: Through adversity or the process of rebalancing in life, we find courage within ourselves that flows from an unknown source. Sometimes that courage has to do with facing unavoidable truth or dealing with a person or problem that no amount of physical confrontation or emotional bravery will resolve. The Woodward's strength, drawn from nature's inherent power to renew and overcome, is needed if we are to foresee what is to come and wait upon the turning of the seasons. Sometimes, when faced with a challenging situation, we must find our own inner backstop, the point from which we will not retreat or from which we can move forward with quiet confidence. The Wildwood ethos has to teach humanity about calm, resolute strength."
I'm not a victim. I demand and deserve to be treated with respect and my passivity is not and should not be perceived as weakness.
Strength comes in many forms and one is a quiet resolute strength we can learn and adopt from and synchronize and harmonize with nature and tap into when we need it most. I'm sure many if not all of us have experienced this type of strength that seemingly comes from nowhere when we are ready to or have given up because our own strength is tapped out. And we think to ourselves that we have nothing more to give and then this burst of energy comes out of nowhere and helps us give that one extra push that is just enough to accomplish the seemingly impossible. Sometimes even going so far as to sacrifice their own lives to save another.
The best lesson that nature has to teach us is for us to simply "BE".
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Sunday, November 1st, 2015. All Saints Day.
I hope everyone had a safe and blessed Samhain. I had such a busy day that by the time I could rest it was almost bedtime so I performed a quick and simple Samhain Ritual that went relatively smoothly considering how droopy with sleep my eyes were. And you, it felt great. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to my next ritual, likely for the next Full Moon.
Why and how could I be so busy?
I cleaned house, washed, dried, and folded laundry, quickly did some last minute shopping so I could bake a few batches of peanut butter cookies, I drove to Serenity (camper can) to drop off the bedding we use in the van and I also dyed a white cotton/linen (doctors medical) jacket brown. It's not as I dark brown as I wanted but for now it's fine and I'll see if I can dye it darker another time. This jacket is going to be my 'Ritual Robe'. And finally I also had to make time for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The day certainly disappears fast when one is busy, that's for sure.

I awoke with a desire to move to a more rural area yet still be within a reasonable driving distance from Vancouver. The city of Chilliwack came to mind as did working in the RV or an RV related industry. I'm not sure where this idea stems from however I did awake in the middle of the night to grab my Wildwood Tarot and bag of stones and crystals and crawl back into bed with them I slept very well and awoke close to 6:30am, Standard Time. I slept in as I was in bed around 10:30pm Daylight Savings Time.
I can have all I desire if I just find the emotional strength and maturity with which to move forward and truly pursue my dreams and goals. I'm being held back by the fear of taking a risk, a risk on myself and the future I desire. I'm close but I still have not found my "own inner backstop" from which I will not retreat. I'm doing much to get there but I still have yet to take that one final leap of faith that will take me to where I wish to go.
I see and know what I must do!
Do you?
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Friday, July 31st, 2015. The Full Moon is calling...let's celebrate the power of the moon this night.
We had another quiet evening at home and more and more I'm enjoying writing my blogs and identifying as Wizard Oron, the travelling wizard, a spiritual nomad, travelling the roads, highways, and bi-ways of North America. I'm also a ventriloquist. I'm happy to come out and really be me for once. I feel great!
I do my best to approach everyone spiritually and energetically and it appears that I more easily interact with people and they always respond with a smile. In fact, many people seem to go out of their way to be extra nice to me. My smile gives them a reason to smile and as I hold doors open or hold the elevator open people respond in kind. What a great way to through the day.
I slept rather well again last night. I slept much fuller and more deeply than night's before. Those overly active dreams of last week and early this week have subsided. Not that I mind these active dreams but they tend to tire me out when it's night after night and now that I've thought of this again I need to make the effort to write down as much about these dreams as I can. I'm sure they have messages for me to pay attention to.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Eight of Vessels, Rebirth: Rejoice! a time of renewal and potential is here. The cycle of rebirth and healing brings inner peace and confidence. Once you accept that all the blessings and gifts of life can be yours, or, indeed, already belong to you, the fear of asking is gone. It is time to shed the skin of the past and accept and utilize the overflowing potential of the present that is freely available to you. Do not be afraid to make mistakes. Do not be afraid to ask: 'Why not me?' See the potential where others only see barriers. See challenge as others see impossible odds. Apply all that you have learned through experience and toil to any problem and you will not fail. You have striven to survive and absorb insight; you have endured loss to retain your integrity. All of these trials have made you stronger, wiser and more effective. Drink of this new fountain of opportunity and renew your life objectives. You have endured the past, its gifts were hard won; now the challenge of the future unfolds. Grasp it and shape it in your hands as you would have it manifest in your life."
I'm definitely experiencing a period rebirth and growth of learning from the past and applying this knowledge and wisdom to the present so I can forge the future I no longer only dreaming of but experiencing in the here and now as well.
We must learn to shed the past, to let it go, to no linger see it as an anchor holding us back but rather a means to accept and grasp hold of the blessings of life and all it has to offer. Life is full of potentials we just need to relearn how to see and use them to march forward shaping our future as we go along.
So, if all goes well, tomorrow is the day I pick up my van. I'm excited!
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Saturday, March 29, 2014. Ah, how nice it is to awake and enjoy the beauty of the morning without being rushed to get out the door and off to work. Not that work or working is bad however it is nice to have these wonderful days of freedom to simply go with the flow of the day. And the nice thing about all of this is that I like my job, I appreciate my job, I am thankful to have a job and I accept that at this time I need a job. But in knowing all of this I also understand that I have a goal/dream/desire in mind that is not the current job I have now. As I mentioned previously I am at heart a nomad and have been my whole life.
Back in the late 1980’s, likely about 1988 I purchased my first Motorhome magazine and immediately fell in love with and could identify with living in and having a home on wheels. This idea became a dream of mine that has been with me all of these years and is something I need to set in and have set in motion more seriously over this past week. Yes, I have an old RV I purchased years ago but I never had a singular plan or goal on how to get myself into the RV and live life on the road. My goals always shifted so the Universe could not assist me in realizing my dreams because my dreams were always changing. Yes, they involved the RV but the how and why I wanted to live in an RV and how I plan to support myself always changed.
So now I am a Spiritual Nomad. Spirit is where I am and where I should be. If I am doing the right thing and fulfilling my purpose money will flow to me. I am grateful to be in the position I am now with a clear goal in mind and in having asked for divine help, the energy needed to achieve this has been set in motion and set free in order to bring my goal/dream/desire to fruition.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Ace of Coins: A gift of security. Starting to build or construct something. A fertile environment.”
Time to get my hands dirty and start achieving and living out my goal/dream/desire. I’m investing time and energy in/on myself and how I’d like to live my life. My focus and intention are clear and realistic and very achievable. The path may not be easy but it is a path worth taking because I believe in myself and my purpose in life. I trust, trust in, and understand Spirit and work hand-in-hand with the Spirit and energy that is moving me forward in the realization of my goals.
Live for yourself. Invest time in yourself. Set realistic and achievable goals. Ground yourself in the love and strength of Spirit and believe with atom of your being that you and your goals are worthwhile and achievable and get out there and work at realizing them. Ask for the help and guidance of Spirit and those around you. Ask that they do their best to believe in and support your goals and dreams and provide you with their expertise in helping you realize them.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
