Monday, November 2, 2015. Another early night as I crawled into bed sometime before 10:00pm and was soundly sleeping throughout the night only to be awoken an hour early before the alarm as I forgot to change the clock in the bedroom that shines on the ceiling and according to it we were sleeping in. Oops!
And now the work day has come to an end and a theme that played itself last night is continuing this evening. This is about relaxing, relaxing and not worrying so much about doing things, feeling compelled to have to complete my model railroad...NOW...or having to constantly be thinking about Tarot or spiritual matters...or always thinking about ways to be able to quit my job and somehow become financially independent so I live, work, and travel on the road. All this worry and franticness at the expense of truly relaxing and enjoying my life.
So last night I spent 90 minutes watching the 'Walking Dead' and thoroughly enjoying myself.
Wow!
How nice it was to just relax and not think about anything.
And tonight as I was getting out of my gym clothes I had this same feeling of needing to learn how to relax. I can still enjoy my model railroad, work with Tarot and be as spiritual as I want to be and in fact may even be more spiritual through by relaxing. And on top of all of this if I relax I'll open myself to new possibilities and opportunities and thus find a true and meaningful path and the fulfillment of my dreams, goals, and desires.
I cannot, not live and enjoy life. I must enjoy and cherish each and every second, minute, hour, day, month and year of my life and there are days where I missed out on living and enjoying my life...no more!
I'm not giving up on anything to do this either. I'm simply enjoying life and everything I love about life and everything that makes my life enjoyable such as Tarot, Spirit, Model Railroading, RVing, reading books (not just those related to Tarot, Spirit, model railroading and the like), crosswords, and sharing my life and love with my partner as well as with family and friends.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is "0 The Wanderer: You have come to a junction or turning point in your life. It may be an unconscious state in which you feel the tide has turned or sense something is going to happen. In a way it already has. Your spirit must move on and the desire to leap into the unknown beckons. This may mean leaving behind or giving up some baggage or burden that you have carried with you from the past. Now is the time to be clear and not let fear of falling or sad disillusion with the universe hold you back. Let your imagination carry you into a new set of possibilities. It is a time to travel hopefully and open your arms to new and challenging aspects of the universe."
I release all of my guilt, anxiety, doubt, fears, and false ideas I have of myself and what I think my future should behind me as I take a leap of faith into the unknown. I need to shed this facade I've used to cover my true self and free myself from the chains I wrapped around myself that have held me back for too long and all the pre and ill conceived ideas I've had about life, about my life and move on. Imagination and infinite possibilities await me...it's now my turn to "travel hopefully and open" my "arms to new and challenging aspects of the universe".
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'King of Stones, Wolf' and Receiving Knowledge and Wisdom from Nature
Saturday, October 31st, 2015. 'Blessed Samhain'. Happy Halloween.
It's so nice to awake and not have to rush out anywhere. Weekends are such a privilege and a blessing. I enjoy my job however as I've said many time before I would much rather just pursue spiritual endeavors and somehow, otherwise earn my keep.
Awaking in the morning and devoting as much time to Spirit and Tarot as I want fills me with an abundance of love and creates a deep and intimate connection with the world. I really cannot say more than this because it's an experience that must be experienced in order to be understood and appreciated. Besides, trying to describe it and finding the appropriate words in my opinion diminishes the experience and realistically speaking cannot even come close to describing what one feels when he or she finds and holds onto their relationship with Spirit.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is "King of Stones, Wolf: Love of the land and of the natural world guides much of what you do. You look often to the wisdom of others and to traditional values to colour your life choices. Security brings pleasure; loyalty crowns every endeavour. Trading, speculation, Mathematical ability, Loyalty and conservation, Steadfastness, Robust health, Determination."
It's a dark, rainy morning and where would I like to be? In my van. In my van listening to the rain hit the roof as I revel in Spirit and the coziness that my van can offer in such weather as this.
My van, Serenity creates the ability to be like a 'wolf' as she offers a place of comfort, security, and serenity as I go out to explore and experience nature and being able to do so almost regardless of the type of weather we're having in southwestern British Columbia.
Nature is one of my best teachers followed by the wisdom of others and then the analysis of traditional values and how one or more may fit in or help shape my way of thinking and outlook on life. Being amongst soaring trees, or in the presence of and hiking through mountainous terrain or simply hearing the waves of the mighty ocean or the rushing waters of a river or creek can teach us so much if we only dare to listen and to experience. Then as we converse with others and get know them and their view of the world can offer us new ways of thinking and the ability to see the world through another person's eyes if we open ourselves to the experience that is. And finally traditional values can glean much wisdom and offer sage advice if we transcend our often judgemental ways when it comes to traditional values.
Be open to learning and educational opportunities as well as new ways of thinking or of experiencing life and our interaction with others or even ourselves.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Seven of Stones, Healing' and Freeing Ourselves From Guilt and Doubt
Thursday, October 29th, 2015. I missed the Full Moon on Tuesday. Last week I had plans to celebrate in ritual but with the way my work week started and being a bachelor seems to have scrambled my brain a little. However, with Samhain being on Saturday I know without a doubt I'll be celebrating this the Witch's New Year in a humble ritual honoring all life that has come and gone as those who have parted this life and gone on to a new one.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the "Seven of Stones, Healing: One of the deepest stages of healing and recovery after any emotional trauma or physical injury is forgiveness. If the healing is from a relationship issue, we often hold onto the pain, mistakenly believing that it keeps us close to the source of that pain. Sometimes, we hang onto a sense of loss, loneliness, and betrayal associated with the failure of the relationship. Regret can also be associated with these feelings as one questions one's own motives and actions. Yet, if you have acted with integrity and sincerity, there is no need for regret; it is a waste of energy and healing focus. If regret is present, more work may be required to understand its underlying causes. One of the elements inherent in bringing healing and closure to any situation is acceptance along with self-forgiveness. We are neither perfect or omnipotent and, therefore, we make mistakes. The acceptance of these simple truths can bring healing to the suffering soul."
We need to accept our humanity, our weaknesses, doubts, fears, and feelings of guilt and put it all to rest through the "healing focus" of the "Seven of Stones". Acceptance and forgiveness provide us with great healing and set on a path of new hope, opportunity and beginnings. Let's all get past the ruts we keep ourselves in by focusing on things that are best let go off and put behind us. For where we put our energy is where our lives will go. If we want and expect our lives to change, improve and go the way want them to then we must focus on the hope and optimism of living a better life.
I have nothing to feel guilty about and I have nothing to regret. I've lived my life and I accept that my decisions in the past have played a role in bringing to where I find myself today. As the last two days have indicated my life is in a period of transition and change and the "Seven of Stones, Healing" is a part of this process.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

Transition, Change, and Doing Right By and For All
Wednesday, October 28th, 2015. Spanish class last night and packing up my brother's car as I sent all of my card making and scrapbooking supplies with him as I'm giving them to my niece and he is spending a few days looking after her and her brother, our nephew as my sister and her husband take their first ever vacation without the kids.
I've been going to bed relatively early and sleep very well and almost right through the night most times until the alarm serenades me out of my slumber. This morning I awoke at 5:30am, laid in bed for a few minutes then got up. Getting up a little earlier makes my mornings less rushed as I am making my breakfast and lunch whereas it is most times prepared for me. Spoiled, I know!
Spirit Is and Tuesday's Tarot Energy was the "Six of Arrows, Transition: The primal impulse here is to move beyond old boundaries and personal thought processes and deploy new methods of reasoning to resolve important issues. Some obstacle may challenge older methods, and new, more dynamic responses are required to adapt to a new set of paradigms. This can be an exciting process. The journey may be scary, since letting go of old and previously effective processes can be unsettling, but the unseen tides that drive the need to evolve are already pulling you to a new experiences and places. Trusting in your own instincts and skills to absorb change is essential to overcome new situations. Take advantage of your subconscious forward momentum and ride the new wave with an open heart and positive mental attitude. Welcome any new process with confidence and apply your skills to effect healing renewal. Embrace well-tried experiences also, as the Wheel inevitably turns, and enter into these personal changes with a stoical enthusiasm."
My mind has been wondering about exactly how and where I should direct my life. I know I wish to delve full time into all matters of Spirit however something I heard last week struck a nerve with me, if I can call it that. At least that's the phrase comes to mind. However, my point is that what I heard last week was that one should not seek money when using their spiritual gifts or they risk losing them. I've always wanted to just do Tarot Readings and what not with money exchanging hands however I thought this necessary in order to finance, if you will, my travels around North America. I wish to seek out new friends and see the vastness and beauty of this continent as well as all the people fortunate enough to call this place home.
So I welcome change and transition with open and arms with a willingness to seek as well as see where change will take me as I embark on a spiritual career where I do it not for money but the common good of all I encounter, including myself. I look forward to meeting the parts of me revealed as I embark on and as this journey unfolds.
Today's 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."
Yesterday we saw transition and today we are seeing realignment. Change is most definitely afoot. I've felt it for the past several days. And I'm truly open to whatever change must come in order for me to better my life or find ways to do that is right by and for all.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'The Great Bear' and Being Proactive When Change Comes Calling
Tuesday, September 22, 2015. Mabon. Happy Mabon Folks! May the celebration of the Autumnal Equinox be a good one and bring us all closer together as we celebrate another harvest and giving much thanks for this blessing. Llewellyn's 2015 Magical Almanac has it listed for today and tomorrow!
Another evening of piddling around doing a whole lot of nothing. Well, not really as I focused my energy on getting more in tune with my website, blog, and how best I can follow my calling and live a more spiritual life as well as transition into a more spiritually minded career. I love working and interacting with Tarot Essence and Energy as it enriches every atom of my being to overflowing with everything I wish to be and bring into this world. I love working and interacting with candles and incense. Losing myself in a flickering candle flame as the smoky incense swirls skyward carrying me with it. Mind, body, and spirit become one and simply are.
One way I'm did this is by divesting myself of the many things I've hung onto for years such as greeting cards, knick-knacks, books, magazines, and odds n ends that I thought I couldn't possibly get rid of. As I mentioned in my Sunday writing I got rid of it all. Opening and going through the boxes allowed me to re-experience and truly capture the energy and emotions trapped in all of those things take it all in, forever stamp those memories into my mind and now keep it with me as a new source of energy and state of being. I'm spiritually richer through this experience.
A sleep filled night gave way to a sweet serenade from the alarm gently lifting us out of our slumber. We slipped out of bed and slowly got on with our day.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Essence is "20 The Great Bear: The only thing in life that is assured is that, if you wait long enough, it will change. How you survive that change and who you are after it is up to you. The major element in this process is judgement of yourself and others. This may relate to an assessment regarding a personal matter or situation, and could be linked to the process of forgiving. It may also relate to a group or social decision. In the process of judgement, both as an individual and on the universal level, honesty is the key. Be honest, be forgiving, be patient, but most of all, be assured change is at hand. Remember, the universe has a long memory. Nothing is ever forgotten."
Time to be proactive and be change by facing and dealing with it dead on instead of merely reacting to it. Change in my life is occurring more than ever in my life these days as I become more laser focused on how to move into living and work a more spiritual lifestyle. My sense of energy and being has shifted and I'm having more meaningful, rich and fulfilling interactions with Tarot and Spirit. I'm experiencing Tarot more than playing with the cards. I've become an extension of the cards and of Spirit in ways I never thought possible. It's truly a new and exciting experience for me.
I now realize that as much as I thought I was having a nice, simple and real spiritual experience, I was wrong. I was merely scratching at the surface. Lights have turned on, transformation has occurred and a new sense of life and living has taken over.
Change and being proactive and engaged in change once you realize it's happening is the best way to deal with it. So don't shy away from and instead tackle it head on as best you can. Sometimes it might be tough, challenging and downright painful and depressing but face it and know, feel and experience it knowing full well that Spirit is right there alongside you having faith in your abilities and capabilities in dealing with change.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Six of Stones, Exploitation' and Saving Ourselves By Changing Our Ways
Sunday, September 13th, 2015. We relaxed yesterday morning then headed for the beach likely for the last time this year as the weather is entering a typical cooling and wet pattern that we tend to see in Vancouver at this time of year. For the first 90 minutes at the beach it was breezy and on the cool side but it warmed up and became a hot day at the beach. After a few hours soaking up the surf and sun we headed home via a pit-stop for our afternoon coffee and another to take care of our weekly grocery run.
When we arrived home we un packed everything relaxed a bit, ate dinner, showered up and then relaxed the rest of the evening. I spent a few minutes here and there piddling around with my model railroad as it has been calling out for my attention the last several days. I'm trying to create balance and give enough commitment and focus to each of my passions these days and I think I'm close to finding a nice happy medium.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Six of Stones, Exploitation: Selfish or foolish overuse of non-sustainable resources implies imbalance in work or business that is damaging to yourself or the environment. The human race's capacity to exploit planetary resources to our detriment is motivated by a flawed belief that we have the right to do so. As we begin to come to terms with the profound effects of global climate change and irreversible effects this will have on our children's lives, the human race still struggles to deal with the unresolved issues of how to feed the billions of new human beings born every year. How we will resource the education, health and social service requirements of entire generation to come seems like a question too painful to even think about. With the world financial systems and safeguards breaking down, and faith in any government's ability to tell the truth and act with integrity severely damaged, our social moral codes and once-familiar cultural 'norms' appear under enormous strain. We all need to be aware of the price our children will pay for our exploitation of the planet's resources."
What more can each of us do to minimize our impact on the planet as well as find ways to utilize more sustainable items in our daily lives? What can we do to influence others to do the same. How can we spread the message that "it's not warming, it's dying"? We need to realize that the more harm we bring to the planet and all the creatures and life that inhabits her the more harm we are doing to ourselves. The message has to be realized today even though many of us will not likely see the disastrous consequences that might befall future generations if we don't get our act together today.
We need to put more value on the air we breathe and the water that sustains us. Lawns do not need water as much as we do. Let us all try to do more with less and put more value on and in the things that matter.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'O The Wanderer' and Welcoming Ourselves Into the Future
Look at what I wrote for tomorrow's date: Saturday, September 5th, 2016. It's off by a couple of days I know as September 5th, 2016 is a Monday however it's what I intended to write after it, that's intriguing. And that is this, "I'm finally living in my van, Serenity".
A reminder that I need to not merely have goals but also a timeframe in which I expect to achieve them and this is exactly what I'm going to do, which I just did.
I simply was preparing for tomorrow's journal entry...
And now it is Saturday, September 5th, 2015 and I've been awake for about an hour and a half and out of bed for an hour. I made myself a coffee, now I'm on my second cup, I lit a candle, sat down with my Wildwood Tarot, and then lost myself in the flickering flame of the candle...
...goals came into my mind, images of me living out my dreams filled me with feelings of love and completeness as other images of sitting in Serenity and losing myself in the flickering flame of another candle filled my eyes...Spirit carrying my heart into the future and asking me to take a leap of faith and meet myself there...
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "0 The Wanderer: You have come to a junction or turning point in your life. It may be an unconscious state in which you feel the tide has turned or sense something is going to happen. In a way it already has. Your spirit must move on and the desire to leap into the unknown beckons. This may mean leaving behind or giving up some baggage or burden that you have carried with you from the past. Now is the time to be clear and not let fear of falling or sad disillusion with the universe hold you back. Let your imagination carry you into a new set of possibilities. It is a time to travel hopefully and open your arms to new and challenging aspects of the universe."
Yes, the unknown, the unknown future beckons, is calling out to us to take a leap of faith, a leap of faith that is supported by unleashing our imagination and allowing it to release unlimited possibilities that carry us forward, that support our every step. Thus leading us into the future where a part of us is already there waiting to welcome us to realize what we thought would only remain a dream...
...go ahead take the leap...your future is waiting for you...
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

And now it is Saturday, September 5th, 2015 and I've been awake for about an hour and a half and out of bed for an hour. I made myself a coffee, now I'm on my second cup, I lit a candle, sat down with my Wildwood Tarot, and then lost myself in the flickering flame of the candle...
...goals came into my mind, images of me living out my dreams filled me with feelings of love and completeness as other images of sitting in Serenity and losing myself in the flickering flame of another candle filled my eyes...Spirit carrying my heart into the future and asking me to take a leap of faith and meet myself there...
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "0 The Wanderer: You have come to a junction or turning point in your life. It may be an unconscious state in which you feel the tide has turned or sense something is going to happen. In a way it already has. Your spirit must move on and the desire to leap into the unknown beckons. This may mean leaving behind or giving up some baggage or burden that you have carried with you from the past. Now is the time to be clear and not let fear of falling or sad disillusion with the universe hold you back. Let your imagination carry you into a new set of possibilities. It is a time to travel hopefully and open your arms to new and challenging aspects of the universe."
Yes, the unknown, the unknown future beckons, is calling out to us to take a leap of faith, a leap of faith that is supported by unleashing our imagination and allowing it to release unlimited possibilities that carry us forward, that support our every step. Thus leading us into the future where a part of us is already there waiting to welcome us to realize what we thought would only remain a dream...
...go ahead take the leap...your future is waiting for you...
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'King of Bows, Adder' and Standing Out in the Crowd
Friday, September 4th, 2015. Another day I awoke early but only after a good night's sleep and some interesting dreams. I dreamt that I was sleeping with my dog (by the way I do not have a dog) and oddly I was using my dog sort of as a pillow. I think he or he is of a larger bread,, maybe a golden lab. And then the dream turned into me having to meet up with my family, my sister in particular and they were out of the house before I was even out of bed. I was left wondering if they'd even wait up for me.
The dream with my dog came back just before I awoke a final time and tossing and turning about a half hour before the alarm serenaded us. This dream surprised me as I was surprised that I was using my do, the dog I don't have as a pillow. Then I got to thinking about how often I gave him a bath. Then just mere moments before the alarm I was asleep again...and drat there goes the alarm...time to get up...
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is hanging around from yesterday, the "King of Bows, Adder: Maturity, strength of resolve, energy and wisdom. The genius and individuality of the seeker is enhanced and rewarded at every turn. Your leadership is unchallenged, your path direct, your goals realized. Seriousness, Honesty, Good intentions, Integrity, A married man, A good father, Education and wisdom."
The word 'individuality' stands out for me today and as I tweeted moments ago, we must not be afraid to stand out in the crowd nor be afraid to be a lone voice for our inner genius and intuition will lead us to where we need to go as well as assist us in convincing others to lend us their support. Stand up and be an individual and find our own path. Stand up, create and guide the energy needed to mark and take us on the direct path where we realize our goals.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'King of Bows, Adder' and Letting Your Passions Rise Naturally to the Top
Thursday, September 3rd, 2015. I had a nice cup of 'Sleepytime' Tea last night and slept soundly until around 5:00am then tossed and turned until the alarm sounded once again at 6:00am. Surprisingly though, I left my phone out in the livingroom yet we still heard it. Perhaps, it's only because we were both not sleeping when it went off.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "King of Bows, Adder: Maturity, strength of resolve, energy and wisdom. The genius and individuality of the seeker is enhanced and rewarded at every turn. Your leadership is unchallenged, your path direct, your goals realized. Seriousness, Honesty, Good intentions, Integrity, A married man, A good father, Education and wisdom."
For some reason at work I've taken on a role of responsibility and to some degree being decision maker and leader of certain aspects of the company. OF course, the owners have the final say but even they at times come to me for information, guidance and taking the lead in making a decision or two.
On a personal level I've discovered how I can steer away from distractions and lead the way in terms of how I live my life and last night in particular the last thoughts I had before falling asleep and the dreams I remember encompassed me living life from the comfort of my van, Serenity. At one point I gasped in surprise as I even dreamed about working on my model railroad in the van. There's not a lot of space in her but in my dream I was sure making the space work for me. Very cool!
When we allow ourselves to simply 'be' and our passions to naturally rise to the surface we create the energy and open ourselves up to the wisdom needed for us find the direct path that takes us to where we want and need to go.
For instance, I'm allowing my passions to find their natural home in my life and as a result I'm experiencing more energy and movement toward a life of spirit and of travel on the wondrous roads of North America.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Seven of Bows Clearance' and Refreshing Life
Wednesday, September 2, 2015. Another day arrived early for me as I awoke around 4:00am and dozed here and there mostly tossing and turning until the alarm sang out to us at 6:00am. My thoughts were all over however eventually I was able to focus more on Spirit that then allowed me to doze albeit only for minutes I'm thinking.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Seven of Bows, Clearance: All things must change and evolve, and however well prepared or carefully constructed your tools and skills, challenges and obstacles may require rethinking and relearning. Bows wear out and eventually fracture under constant use, stress and tension. Arrows warp through damp and strenuous flexing and lose their strength and accuracy. Change is a natural part of the process of renewal although it can be painful (pain brings change and change brings pain), it must be seen as a positive turn of the Wheel and necessary for new life to begin. Welcoming the clearing of the old and worn and preparing the ground for new growth is vital. New shoots and spring saplings will be starved of light and nutrients in the soil if the ground is not cleared. Old boughs and stumps should be removed to ease the process of saying goodbye to a tool or concept that has outlived its practical life. By allowing the passing of the old and clearing of the ground to take place with an element of welcoming and acceptance of change, the feelings of relief and poignancy may aid the healing process, giving comfort."
Distractions need to be cleared away and I know how to clear them away and that is by facing them head on instead of trying to avoid them or change my focus. I welcome a good clearing out of the old and an overall cleansing of my life. I bathe in the energy of Spirit and the cosmos and allow all that I no longer need to be washed away to be replaced by the essence of spirit and energy that created fills us with the purity of life.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Queen of Wands' and Taking Charge Today
Saturday, August 22nd, 2015. We had a very quiet and uneventful evening at home. We watched the news as well as a political show then the television was turned off and we simply wiled away the evening doing pretty much a whole lot of nothing. Just a nice ordinary evening providing us with all the contentment we need.
I slept well and awoke early but I wanted to awake early so all is good. I focused my energies after relaxing with a cup of coffee or two and shuffled the Tarot for several minutes in a complete state of relaxation and stillness before revealing today's visiting Tarot, the "Queen of Wands: Believe in yourself—don’t be afraid to take the lead. Dealings with authority figures go well. Answers arrive when you talk things out with friends and lovers. Write letters, make calls, send faxes, send emails. Punctuality really counts. When reversed: Bet only what you can afford to lose; don’t take silly risks. Guard against unrealistic thinking. Dare to dream, but keep both feet firmly on the ground."
So many distractions today. We're trying to get ourselves organized for our trip tomorrow morning. We've pretty much packed and then we need to get ready for today's other activities. We have a movie to watch and we're meeting friends at the food truck festival taking place here in New Westminster this afternoon and evening.
We have to be at the airport at about 4:00am so I'm not anticipating getting much sleep but maybe I will since I was out of bed before 5:30am.
I'm going to sign off here as the "Queen of Wands" is quite self-explanatory so I'll leave her inspire you in her own way today.
Thanks for dropping by.
Thank You Spirit.

'XI Strength' and Seeing the Bigger Picture
Thursday, August 20, 2015. Let's see what to write about this day? I'm seemingly at a loss for words and maybe this a good thing...
We had a quiet evening at home, not doing much of anything. Oh...I was trying to get out GPS unit up and running but had no success. I don't like the fact that it can only be charged in the car and where this only a viable option when the car is moving...what's with that? So although it works when it's plugged into the 12 volt DC of the car we can't update the maps so we'll be using it the best we can on our trip next week.
Then the evening was pretty much wrapped up with that an off to bed I went.
Then the evening was pretty much wrapped up with that an off to bed I went.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "XI Strength. Love conquers all. Avoid pettiness and prejudice. Try to be a peacemaker. Weigh all sides of every situation. Don’t be so set in your ways that you miss the big picture by focusing on details. Stubbornness is your challenge of the moment. When reversed: Everyone expects the best from you and vice-versa. Arguments with your lover or close associates are likely now. Don’t give in to intimidation or pressure, and never go to bed angry. Are you seeing things realistically? Wait one more day to take action."
"Don’t be so set in your ways that you miss the big picture by focusing on details" and "stubbornness is your challenge of the moment." I'm trying to focus too much on the details that I'm failing to see the larger picture. I need to focus on my overall goal for the moment instead of the nitty gritty details of it. This way I accomplish more as Spirit knows exactly where to direct that cosmic energy that comes our way when we have a singular focus to work on rather than the many intricate details that can mire our efforts and slow us down if not completely stunt our efforts. I know where I am, where I'm going and where Spirit is taking me.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Ace of Cups' and Finding True and Everlasting Happiness
Wednesday, August 19th, 2015. Another day arrived after a relaxing evening and a good night's rest. No worries filled my mind and nothing else kept me awake even though I awoke slightly several times and even though I clicked on something that made my website disappear...no worries, no stress...just simple relaxation and contentment. Spirit is Good.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Ace of Cups: Happiness arrives soon, but it make take some effort on your part to bring it to fruition. Those around you are more emotional than usual. Don’t rely on them to be the voice of reason. Postpone debates. Examine home and family issues. This is a good time to consider relocating. When reversed: Accept assistance from others. Don’t be too full of yourself. Act with determination. Know when to say no."
We are solely responsible to make our lives happy one so when I read this, "happiness arrives soon, but it make take some effort on your part to bring it to fruition", I know I need to do more to bring about a happy lifestyle for myself, as we all should. We must also "act with determination" and "know when to say no" if we are to make some of ourselves. There is a reason that these statements are combined and that is because making something of ourselves by accepting and taking responsibility for our lives will fill us with true and lasting happiness more than if we continually strive to find it outside of ourselves. It's your life take control of it and find the happiness you seek...within.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'IX The Hermit' and Seeking Your Guide...and That'd Be YOU!
Monday, August 17th, 2015. Sunday was another simple and relaxing day for us. Sure we had our weekly grocery run to make and had plans to go for a short bike ride bit the day was beautifully and simply ordinary and mundane. The bike ride never happened but we got out for an afternoon coffee and short stroll and long the river.
I relaxed, studied, learned, grew and evolved as I continued to build my wonderful study guide. This is all a result of my inner guide and the strengthening connection I'm building with the cosmos and infinite energy and spark of life that created and connects us all.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "IX The Hermit. Break an unnecessary habit. Take steps to eliminate unhealthy ruts and routines. Have some of your “friends” been driving you crazy? Now is a good time to get them out of your life. Don’t let yourself get stuck in the expectations of others. When reversed: Spend time with someone you love; take care of unfinished business. Don’t let your responsibilities weigh you down and stay away from anything that goes against your grain."
"IX The Hermit" brings about thoughts of introspection, searching, guidance, and solitude. It's a time of going it alone and turning off the voices of others and greater society so we can delve into our own thoughts, ideas, opinions and identities. The guidance we seek best comes from within, let's learn to seek out and trust the information we glean from meditation and dreams, from taking a walk in nature, as we listen to the crashing waves, or listen to the heartbeat and voice of the earth. Today is about listening with our eyes closed and not listening with our ears but instead our hearts and souls, listen with your spirit and discover a whole new world and whole new way of being.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'IX of Cups' and Wishes Coming True?
Sunday, August, 16th, 2015. Yesterday was a calm and easygoing kind of day. We both just allowed the day to unfold and go about the activities that grabbed our attention. We didn't venture out of the condo until about 4:00pm and that was only a brief outing as we quickly checked out the 'New West Pride Columbia Street Party'. We saw a few interesting things and very many colourful and happy people. The festival was alive and had its own great energy swirling about it. We grabbed a scoop of Gelato from the 'Tre Galli' booth before continuing our stroll along the next couple of blocks. We ran into a couple of acquaintances along the way and then made our way back home vowing to venture out again closer to 7:00pm so we could catch Bif Naked's live performance on the street.
Upon our return home I continued putting together my study materials for learning the Tarot, Crystal Energy and Developing my Psychic Powers. I've come up with a nice study booklet to put to use. I'll be able to make good use of it during our travel to and stay in Florida in about a week's time. Although, I've already discovered some additionally material that I will include in my study guide.
Bif Naked's performance started off on the rocky side as the sound crew didn't appreciate that the audience was straining to hear her talk and sing. It took them ten or fifteen minutes to get the volume to a level where we could hear anything then the crowd settled in and bathed in her songs and banter in between each one. She was on stage for about an hour and wowed the audience with her performance and appreciated for and dedication to celebrating Pride in New Westminster. Thanks Bif!
We had sirloin steak burgers and Red, White, and Blue Potato Salad for dinner, a later dinner as it was approaching nine o'clock but boy was dinner ever good, Then we showered and relaxed a short time for diving into bed.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot, courtesy of Tarot, or what I refer to as my 'Whimsical' deck is the "IX of Cups. People are generous to those in need. Enjoy the kindness of strangers. Stay away from shop-talk and try not to worry about finances. When reversed: Postpone decision-making. Weigh your options. No one minces words now. Beware of arrogance—try to be easy going."
Wishes fulfilled but are we all certain that we really want or need or truly desire what we're wishing for and will be responsible enough to handle it? Or are we finding roadblocks to having our wishes fulfilled? Perhaps, it's time for us to take our focus off of ourselves and place upon others. Maybe we are overindulging in ourselves at the expense of others. If we feel stuck in a rut or are finding our forward momentum waning maybe we need to take a step back and refocus our attention on other things that are important to us such as our relationships with family, friends, and loved ones or even co-workers and employers.
The "IX of Cups" today is about wish fulfillment and all it takes to happen is a little attitude adjustment our part and appreciation of and of those around us that love and support us unconditionally in all that we do and strive for.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Knight of Arrows, Hawk' and the 'Seven of Bows, Clearance'
Thursday, March 13th, 2015. We hit the beach last night to catch the sunset and although the temperatures are warm during the height of the day they cool off rather quickly as the sun begins setting and getting closer to the horizon. It was a nice time of soaking up the sounds of the crashing waves against the sand as well as hearing the earth breathe as I closed my eyes and listened with my soul and spirit. We ate a nice peanut butter and jam sandwich while enjoying the beach and then hit McDonalds for a quick meal, a nice healthy salad with grilled chicken.
Yesterday's visiting Tarot is the "Knight of Arrows, Hawk: A quicksilver messenger of fate, the Hawk can help and support you to see through layers of doubt and uncertainty to the problem at the heart of the matter. Be swift and subtle and use your common sense to progress. Heroism, Disputation, Subtlety, Clear-sightedness, Impetuosity, Anger, Holding a grudge, Valour."
And this card evoke feelings of action, of doing, of getting on with being who I am instead of pretending to be someone I'm not.
Sleep last night was quite decent and I awoke surprised as I was not expecting to hear the alarm when it sounded. I felt as if I had another hour or two of sleep. Alas, it was the alarm and time to get out of bed.
Today's visiting Tarot is the "Seven of Bows, Clearance: All things must change and evolve, and however well prepared or carefully constructed your tools and skills, challenges and obstacles may require rethinking and relearning. Bows wear out and eventually fracture under constant use, stress and tension. Arrows warp through damp and strenuous flexing and lose their strength and accuracy. Change is a natural part of the process of renewal although it can be painful (pain brings change and change brings pain), it must be seen as a positive turn of the Wheel and necessary for new life to begin. Welcoming the clearing of the old and worn and preparing the ground for new growth is vital. New shoots and spring saplings will be starved of light and nutrients in the soil if the ground is not cleared. Old boughs and stumps should be removed to ease the process of saying goodbye to a tool or concept that has outlived its practical life. By allowing the passing of the old and clearing of the ground to take place with an element of welcoming and acceptance of change, the feelings of relief and poignancy may aid the healing process, giving comfort."
I welcome and accept change as I learn new skills, develop new talents, trust my intuition more and move further along on the spiritual path that is closer and truer to my nature. Yes, change can be frightening and painful however if we take a step back and look at the larger picture we gain a better understanding of why this change is necessary and why it's taking place now.
Let us embrace change so we can move on, breathe easier and focus on the important things in life.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Ace of Arrows - The Breath of Life' and Divine Energy in Our Lives
Tuesday August 11th, 2015. I had a relaxing evening after a hectic day yesterday but then a sleepless night soon followed. As much as I thought I held relieved the stress of the work day, it came back to haunt me and I actually had to get up and write a 'To Do List' of things I had to do today. Sleep was hard to come by and it was no until I fell into my Wizard Oron mantra that sleep came upon me, unfortunately, it was only for about an hour.
I was close to falling back to sleep after turning off the alarm but thankfully caught myself drifting off...
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Ace of Arrows, The Breath of Life: By breathing life into a thought and pursuing it to its material creation in the real world, we engage in an ancient and unique relationship with the universe and the divine. Our minds are linked to a greater consciousness, its power and effectiveness waiting only for the question. As the first formation of an idea or concept crystallizes in your mind, the primal creative energy connects you to the Breath of Life. This energy can be summoned and applied to achieve your conscious desire. Clarity of purpose is the key. Sometimes an unconscious impulse or drive makes you aware of a hidden issue or need. Such issues may appear in dreams, often signalling their presence in this way because of a lack of confidence in our own processes and abilities. Our unique connection with the universe ensures that those issues are brought into our everyday awareness."
I've taken my thoughts and ideas and developed them into blogs, a way of life, a state of being and a goal of the future that starts here now in the present. and as the "Ace of Arrows, The Breath of Life" states, "Our minds are linked to a greater consciousness, its power and effectiveness waiting only for the question"...and "This energy can be summoned and applied to achieve your conscious desire. Clarity of purpose is the key."
I ask for help and guidance and know that I receive what I ask, for this is our relationship with this wondrous divine force and energy in, around, and throughout our lives, hearts, minds, bodies, and souls.
My goal is simple and that is to enrich my life through enriching the lives of others and I choose to do this as Wizard Oron, working on the road as I travel up and down and all around this beautiful content we get to call home.
Now that I think about it, I realize that the greater consciousness breathed new life into my idea of living life on the road just before I fell asleep. Instead of allowing my thoughts to revolve around the job I focused them on me, on Wizard Oron and how I give intuitive Tarot readings while travelling throughout Canada and the US. Awesome, just awesome!
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'King of Vessels - Heron' and Being Mature and Level Headed
Monday, August 10th, 2015. We had an easy Sunday not doing all that much other than our weekly grocery run and meeting with a couple of friends in the afternoon. Dinner was quick and easy and the evening serene and soothing. Reading a few passages from 'Science of Mind Guide For Spiritual Living' is always a great way to end the evening before slipping under the covers for a good night's sleep.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "King of Vessels, Heron: A deep belief in fairness, honesty, and honour colours everything you do. The profound depths of your character, once stirred into action, carry all before it. However, your admiration of self-control can sometimes make you appear too rigid. Artistic ability, Honesty and integrity, Purposeful equality, Responsibility, Consideration of others, Affection, Support and companionship."
The day is about being calm, level headed, easygoing, focused and thoughtful. It's about not letting yourself get raddled by the events of the day, to have a knack for taking a step back, compose yourself and deal with the situation at hand. When one does this one can then approach the situation with a clear mind and find good solutions to calm the situation and turn it around and into the direction it's supposed to go.
Clench your mouth, don't say it, don't say anything, excuse yourself, back away, take a deep breath, ground and center yourself, be still for a moment and then carry on.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Ten of Bows, Responsibility' and Building a Future
Sunday, August 9th, 2015. I had a relaxing day cleaning and organizing my model railroad space in the afternoon after a quick visit to 'Serenity' our new to us Class B RV, a 2005 Pleasure Way TS Excel Van. I really enjoyed cleaning up and making my model railroad space look better and taking a few photos inside and of the exterior of the van as well as spending a few minutes lounging on the rear sofa of the van was quite inspiring.
Oh, I created a small spiritual nook in Serenity before I headed back home:
As inspiring as being in the van was I know I have some hard work ahead of me as responsibilities must be fulfilled and I need to grow into fully being Wizard Oron before jumping in the van and taking off for parts unknown. As part of this I marked on the calendar things I'd like to get done during the evening hours and last week I did accomplish any of them so I have to get myself moving on better time management and start doing these things so I can move forward at a quicker pace. One of these being to sit in silence or meditation. Getting myself into this practice will really help things fall into place, most certainly. Another area of practice I need to get back into is ventriloquism. Practice, practice, practice...
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "Ten of Bows, Responsibility: Whether you volunteered for the task or it is thrust upon you by unforeseen circumstances, it is a time to accept responsibility. Do so with good humour and stoical resolve and welcome any daunting challenge with humility and enthusiasm. Although the timing may be unfortunate or inconvenient, the issues of dealing with responsibility are often a matter of simple self-confidence. The learning curve may be steep and appear insurmountable, but once the task is fully understood and effort is expended, many valuable life-lessons can be learned. The effect of taking responsibility in your family or close tribal group can also have far-reaching effects beyond your personal sphere. By leading from the front and taking responsibility for any past failures or inappropriate actions, you disarm and neutralize self-doubt or feelings of inadequacy. It is an honour and a sign of respect that your peers trust you to complete this task and handle the responsibility, knowing you will fully commit to this quest until completion. This understanding should support and enhance both your sense of self-worth and self-respect."
The "Ten of Bows" sounds like it is alluding to the work week ahead where I'm the acting 'commander-in-chief' so-to-speak as the owners are away for a quick one week vacation and all of their responsibilities fall onto me along with the responsibilities I already have.
The "Ten of Bows" is also a reminder to me that as I push and in my desire to transition from simply having a 'job' to a career of self-employment in the area of spirit, ventriloquism and blogging I have to learn the ropes of good sound financial management as well as responsibility and accountability and balancing all of this with living life on the road.
On top of all of this in the process I will become more confident and eliminate any lingering feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy that get the better of me from time to time. So let's all take a deep breath and get on with fulfilling our obligations and move through them as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'2 The Seer' and Bringing Pleasure and Knowledge to Others
Saturday, August 8, 2015. A nice quiet Friday evening of relaxation, indirect study and learning, and going to bed early led to awaking early and more study, learning and knowledge and wisdom gained.
Last evening it was "Only when we put our very best in into our spiritual work will it satisfy us." The Science of Mind, page 414 as quoted out of the 'Science of Mind Guide for Spiritual Learning, July 2015, Volume 88, Number 6.
This morning it came from sitting, sitting only a few minutes in complete silence and stillness and the visiting Tarot, "2 The Seer: The time has come to focus your power and let it flow through you. Many dreams or desires related to the creative emotional process are ready to be applied in your day-to-day life and you must give vent to those hidden or suppressed longings. This may also relate to healing, sexual relationships or partnerships. Now the manifestation of inner spiritual or esoteric insights into your practical and physical daily life will bring profound rewards and results. It is a sign of maturity. The Seer also relates to creative impulses such as art, mechanical skills and crafts, and the joy of bringing pleasure and knowledge to others."
Indeed, "the time has come to focus your power and let it flow through you"...so that..."the manifestation of inner spiritual or esoteric insights into your practical and physical daily life will bring profound rewards and results...the joy of bringing pleasure and knowledge to others."
Meditation, silence, stillness...enriches our lives by opening and clearing our minds bringing us clarity of thought, imagination, and manifestation of our desires, dreams, goals...allow yourself to connect with the consciousness of the universe and the grounding energy of the earth and allow it to flow through you thus bringing more love, light, and peace to our world.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
