The '6 of Cups' and Giving the Special Gift You Hold Deep Within You to Someone Else

If I remember correctly all of my dreams took place out in nature in one form or another.  Walking trails carrying my tarot cards with me or walking on a frozen body of water that I attempted to label as the Fraser River at where the Quesnel River met it but the geography was all wrong as was the way the rivers were configured and I was saying this as the two of us were walking off the ice and onto the gravel bed where what I was labelling as a river petered out.  I'm not sure how long after this scene played out but I corrected myself and told myself that it was a lake or small creek that we were walking on.  Then we were in the middle of a wide open space...field, meadow, beach, ocean, not sure where as I awoke seemingly just seconds after this scene began.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is and I am the “6 of Cups: Happy Birthday.  Fond memories.  A gift given in friendship or love.”

My initial reaction to the “6 of Cups": giving the gift of time, of solitude, of a warm embrace, making someone feel special like it's their special day, or remembering special moments together.  Doing something for someone else for no particular reason, just doing because it struck you to just give, even if it's of giving of yourself, a kind word, a sincere smile, a helping hand...creating a special moment for someone that becomes special for you too!  Creating those fond memories waiting for you in the future.

Thank You Spirit.

The 'Man of Coins' and Dedicating Some of Our Hardworking, Reliable, Responsible and Dependable Energy to Ourselves

Awoke several times last night but had a wonderful night of sleep and seemed to be very aware of and fully involved in what I'm taking to be dreams.  I think they were related to the changes I made to my website.  And, you know after making those changes I really felt like it's and continue to take ownership of what I've created.  It feels like me.  Whereas before I made these changes I just didn't feel like my website was my own.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is and I am the “Man of Coins: Responsible and hard-working. Reliable. Dependable."

I'm happy to say that for the last few months I've been quite hardworking, dependable, reliable and responsible at the job and have finally focused this behaviour quite intently on myself and my goals thus the changes to my website and redesigning it in such a way that I can wholeheartedly take an honest and committed ownership of it to the point where I am also promoting it.  Oftentimes we behave this way for others and seldom for ourselves.  I've finally come to point of seeing this with myself where I'm too focused on others and their needs.  I haven't been giving enough of this energy to my own needs until this weekend.

Thank goodness I've got the energy to do this...being connected to the spiritual realms does wonders to our stores of energy as well as how quickly our energy is replenished.

Thank You Spirit.

The "Guide of Swords" and Thoughts About Helping Others

Had a relaxing day, headed downtown after lunch to run an errand and along the way we stopped for a coffee and a pastry at Pure Bread that was surprisingly empty for a Saturday afternoon.  We didn't mind though as most times we have to go somewhere else as the place is packed and with a line-up to the door.  After the arduous task of picking a pastry from their huge selection of goodies we relaxed and read.  Next stop, a cruise through the men's floor of The Bay, Top Man, and H&M before hitting London Drugs and scooping up a few made in Canada goodies for a trip one of us is soon taking.

We cheated on dinner and picked up a barbecue chicken and a couple of side salads from our local Safeway, dinner was later due to indulgence of pastries earlier in the day.  Then we wiled the night away reading and doing a whole lot of nothing.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the "Guide of Swords: A wider perspective.  Altruistic thoughts.  Messages from the higher self."

Thoughts of helping people fill my mind this morning, continuing on with the theme from my dreams and further expanded on by the visit of the "Guide of Swords" this morning and the powerful energy he brings with him.  Actually, it was engaging with the cashier at London Drugs that brought all of these and dreams on (M or F, but then why do I need to use a label?  This person is simply expressing who they truly are).  

"Altruistic thoughts" run deep and I see a need for us to stop labelling people and/or trying fit people into tidy, neat, little boxes that may make us feel good but do nothing for the people we are labelling.  I think it's high time that we simple let people be the unique individuals that they are.  Let's not box people in with a label so that we give them room as well as the opportunity to express themselves and show us all that they are and desire to be.

Thank You Spirit.

The "Man of Wands" and Having A Nose For Spotting Trouble

Winter has returned to the metro Vancouver region in the form of snow.  I thought that we were quite done with the snow but Mother Nature says otherwise.  Incoherent memories of my dreams are all that I have this morning although a few ideas and thoughts that I'm having this morning take me back to my night of sleep so perhaps my memories are not so incoherent after all.  Nothing I want write about at the moment as they are still unravelling in my mind.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is “Man of Wands: Someone who likes problems, and/or thrives on unstable or dangerous situations. “The Establishment”.  Keeping the peace.”

My take on the "Man of Wands" today is one of control, authority, seeing things in black and white terms only, and someone who is a bit unyielding in their ways.  And almost someone who goes out of their way to look for trouble or at the very least someone who needs such situations to make their lives feel complete and whole, almost as if this was their purpose in life.

Thank You Spirit.

The 6 of Swords and Leaving Emotions Alone and Giving Them Time to Heal

A decent night of sleep and a willingness to get up and go to a job that I'm in the process of trying to leave to fulfil my goal and be the full-time Spiritual Guide and Tarot Reader that I am.  Dreams of sitting at a desk or table and talking into a camera played through my mind last night.  I was discussing why I chose to do what I'm doing and how I think Tarot is an important part of a strong and loving spiritual life...such relaxing and inviting dreams.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “6 of Swords: Peaceful Recovery.  Serenity and the passage of time help to heal wounds.  Stormy emotions are given time to subside, allowing a plan for a solution.”

I'm drawing a blank on this “6 of Swords" energy for the day.  I coming up with nothing more than what is suggested by the little booklet that comes with the deck...I'm okay with this...it happens.

Thank You Spirit.

The 8 of Swords and Opening Our Eyes to Reality and Finding the Open Door to Freedom

Blessed Imbolc.  Happy Groundhog Day!

Fell asleep with "VII The Chariot", the Card of the Year for 2017 that I randomly selected the 1st of January.  "VII The Chariot" suggests good tidings throughout this year so I found myself sleeping with loved filled and joyous heart.  And I slept very well as a result...awaking feeling authentic and real...my true self...Wizard Oron...Spiritual Guide, Tarot Reader and long time Tarot and Spiritual Enthusiast.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is and I am the "8 of Swords: The Crowded Subway. Restriction.  Being trapped by your own biases and prejudices.  Feeling lonely in a crowd.”

Being trapped by your own biases and prejudices...needing a way to freedom and not seeing the open right in front of you.  Your eyes are closed to the reality you need to see.  It's nothing you can't handle but you can't handle it until you face and accept it for what it is...and it's you.  You know what you want or at least think you know what you want but you're not wanting it badly enough to make it happen, for it to become the reality you want it to be.  Open your eyes and walk through that door that's been in front of all the time...your life is waiting for you on the other side.

Thank You Spirit.

The Ace of Cups and Being Reminded of Spirit's Love and Support

Sweet dreams became worries, fear, and a few tears and after a couple of hours of tossing and turning and ruining my sleep I dozed for about an hour before the alarm serenaded us once again.  And upon awaking I heard this soft, tender voice seemingly coming from nowhere yet everywhere that told me to fear not, let those worries be nothing but a faded memory for you are loved and must keep believing...

...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.”

Spirit loves us and if we give Spirit room in our lives we'll feel and see that love shine forth in every aspect of our lives.  Spirit does not only love us but is a willing, faithful and dedicated partner that we can rely on no matter what.  If we look around and about our lives we'll see many examples of Spirit being in our lives where we likely never gave a thought to how Spirit plays such an important role in our mundane everyday lives.  It's not only miracles where Spirit shines through for Spirit is with us always even when we are simply taking out the garbage.

I love you Spirit.

Thank You Spirit.
