Sleep was full, complete, and satisfying. The new welcomed me with a long warm embrace as I awoke feeling well rested and full of life. I feel like I've taken a dozen steps forward and am fully immersed in fulfilling my role as Wizard Oron. I'm living in the moment and the future is now. I'm leaving the past behind me this includes the job that no longer fits my needs.
Spirit Is and today's Pagan Tarot Energy is "XX Judgement - Another misunderstood card. Judgment is similar to the Justice card in that it refers to a Karmic sense of judgment and not a legal sense. We have struggled long enough in this world, and a change begins to see us finally starting to see some results for our efforts. We begin to realize we can succeed, and turn our lives around for the better."
Karma is now on your side, your karmic debt has been paid. Time to give back and pay it forward. Use your words and actions wisely so that you build others up, inspire them, empower them, encourage them to embrace and live life as a true reflection of the wonderful gift that it is. Wear a smile on your face and see what such a simple act can do, "XX Judgement" will be more than kind to you.
I'm but one voice from a cast of thousands, tens of thousands if not a million strong who are doing what we can with our ideas, thoughts, words and actions to bring about change in this world and with my karmic debts paid I can move forward ever more quickly in working as part of a team a million plus strong to inspire, awake, and fill the world with the light, love, peace, compassion and empathy that it is crying out for.
I'm wearing a smile on my face and I hope you are too!
Thank You Spirit.
Saturday, September 17, 2016. Had a more or less decent sleep and awoke early so I simply crawled out of bed instead of trying to get more shut eye. I love awaking when it's still dark outside as I like to the see the dawning of a new day. And I especially like to see my candle glowing in the darkness and the smoky incense swirling about in the candle light. It's very spiritual and very moving to me.
I clumsily performed a Full Moon Ritual shortly after crawling out of bed however it was genuine, heartfelt, full of emotion, spiritual and very spiritually uplifting. I'm glad I made the effort as the passion simply flowed and carried me through the experience.
Without further ado, Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is a three card of the day spread, the "Initiate of Swords: The suit of Swords and its corresponding element, Air, is masculine and intellectually oriented, so a mature man with blond hair represents this Initiate. He wears a long yellow robe, a yellow stole, and two necklaces. This Initiate can be a person who uses his mind to create order. He takes his experiences and forms useful philosophies and practices, to help himself and others feel at ease in the world. He can, though, rely too much on his self-made order and at times be inflexible."; "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."; and "XX Judgement - Another misunderstood card. Judgement is similar to the Justice card in that it refers to a Karmic sense of judgement and not a legal sense. We have struggled long enough in this world, and a change begins to see us finally starting to see some results for our efforts. We begin to realise we can succeed, and turn our lives around for the better."
The important aspects of the day are represented by "Initiate of Swords" and what stands out for me most about this card is that I use my "mind to create order, I take my "experiences and" form "useful philosophies and practices, to help" myself "and others feel at ease in the world". But then comes the warning to not become too inflexible because of this "self-made order".
Then we must pay attention to the personal issues that are represented by the "Two of Swords" and for me this is really about looking at two choices and making a decision based solely on the two choices at hand and no other factors. If I can rely on my senses and my intuition especially over the past couple of weeks the choice is pretty clear. I need to fulfil my purpose and follow that long and winding road that's waiting for me. And in order to do this I need to quit my job. I've quit my job mentally, spiritually, and psychologically so now all that is left for me to do is to manifest this decision here in the physical world. Spirit is my safety net and this is reflected in the third card and extenuating energy of the day, "XX Judgement".
"XX Judgement" fills me with the knowledge and wisdom that "a change has begun and I'm "finally starting to see some results for" my "efforts". And I'm beginning "to realise" I "can succeed, and turn" my life "around for the better".
Thank You Spirit.
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.
Sunday, June 8th, 2014. We had quite the peaceful and relaxing day after going out to run an errand and take care of the weekly grocery run. We went out for our afternoon coffee and then took a stroll along the river before coming back home to do a few chores, clean and organize and then relax for pretty much the rest of the evening. Although, I made dinner, it did not seem too much of an imposition for me to undertake and in fact was in itself quite relaxing and filled me with great joy.
I slept quite well. Had a few vivid dreams of family and friends that kept me resting and sleeping well through the night. Heck, I slept in until 6:30am.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “5 of Cups”. Although, I sometimes have regrets and feel that I’ve lost years of my life through much wishful thinking, I’ve also gained insights and taken advantage of many opportunities that have come my way. Loss and gain are sometimes one and the same if we take an in-depth look at our “loss” for many a time if we look through we will see that we have learned a valuable lesson and that there is something better waiting for us beyond our loss. Yes some losses are significant however we must never let them bring us down into the depths of despair.
The “Youth of Cups” can help us work through and overcome our loss as he fills us with his youthful and vibrant energy and significant love. How can we use this energy to see our way through troubled waters?
By looking at “XX Judgment” and seeing that we can get off the fence and make decisions without casting blame on ourselves or others for things that may go wrong or not work out quite the way we imagined they would. The best way to do this is to realize that we do not always need to nor should we try to live up to or abide by others expectations of us. Make a decision for yourself and to fulfill your own expectations and rid yourself of the self-imposed control that you give to others over your life.
Perhaps, this is the sense of “loss” we have been feeling—the disappointment or disapproval of others. Overcome this and perhaps, you’ll feel much better about yourself and some of the decisions you have made and actions you have taken.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
