The Ace of Coins with Support from the Sage of Coins

Wednesday, December 31st, 2014.  Happy Wednesday and Happy Last Day of 2014.

We had a quiet evening at home last night and a good night of sleep soon followed.  I did open my eyes a couple of times over the course of my sleep however I awoke feeling rested, refreshed and ready to get on with the day.  I have the day off so I'm more eager to get out of bed.

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" with support from the “Sage of Coins: Working with resources rather than trying to control them. A mature appreciation of the natural world.  Patience."

If we harness the power of Spirit in our lives we can move forward with success, we adopt success as a state of mind, as a state of being.  We must allow ourselves to become the definition of success.  This is easily accomplished if we work with rather than try to control the energies around us.

This is a great day to  allow success into our lives as the Moon is in Taurus and as it is New Year's Eve, what better way to ring in 2015 than with a success state of mind and well-being?

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The Sage of Wands ad the 4 of Swords

Tuesday, December 30th, 2014.  Happy Tuesday!

A great workout at the gym, a decent dinner, a quiet evening, and a hot cup of "Sleepytime" Tea made for a great night's sleep.  I actually awoke a few minutes before the alarm.  If this had been a Saturday or Sunday I would have leapt out of bed but a work day was ahead so I just laid in wait for the alarm.

Today's visiting Tarot Card is the “Sage of Wands: Wanting to change the world.  Changing your environment by winning others over to your viewpoint.  Critical acclaim.  Politics" with some support from the “4 of Swords: Napping Between Rehearsals.  Resting and gathering strength for the next phase.  A vacation or “time out”.”

Can any of us take a leadership roles in our lives whether it be at home, on the job, or in some other facet where we can truly make a difference?  If we allow ourselves to be guided by Spirit and let our creativity flow perhaps we can use these, our creative talents to bring change t the world.  As it has been many times before, if we want change in the world we have to be that change.  We through our talents and passions can make positive progress in our lives and the lives of others and make the world a little better, a little brighter, and a little more positive for someone.

Let's be that change however do our best to maintain our strength and energy levels so we can continue to do our positive works through getting plenty of rest and exercise and living healthy, positive lives.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The Youth of Wands

Monday, December 29th, 2014.  Happy Monday!

I had a terrible night of sleep last night.  I don't think I sleep more than a couple of hours if that.  I wanted nothing more than to ignore the alarm and stay in bed, roll over and fall back to sleep.  But alas, I had a work day ahead of me so out of bed I got.

Last night was a relaxing evening and I did fall asleep rather well I suppose but perhaps the energy of the evening and the thoughts of Tarot Cards and model trains that I had swirling around in my mind kept me from having a good night's sleep and rest.  So I shall see what tonight will bring.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot Card is the “Youth of Wands: Focusing attention on something.  Reaching for a goal from a possibly unsteady foundation" with further clarity brought about by the “10 of Wands: The Burden.  Responsibilities.  Obligations.  Overcommitting yourself.  Realizing that burdens are a part of life”

I have creative ideas, passions that I working on with an eye toward the independent future that I see the m bringing to me.  However, I need to develop a more solid foundation for myself so that I can bring enough individual focus and attention on each of them so that I find success with each of them.  I need to pay attention to the energy around me as well as my own and ensure that I'm always in sync with the cosmos so that my energy is always supported by and in support with the universe so that my goals are no longer goals but rather successes.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 10 of Coins, 10 of Wands and the 4 of Coins

Sunday, December 28th, 2014.  Yesterday was an alright day.  My partner had a haircut as I waited in the food court in Aberdeen Centre, having lunch and perusing my Tarot Card books as well as a photo of my model railroad layout.  My partner soon joined me, had lunch and then we headed out to south Surrey to get a ham for our New Year’s Eve dinner.

Upon returning home I had my hair trimmed then we made our to my brother’s place to join him and an uncle and his girlfriend for a post-Christmas visit, my brother lives in Surrey just fifteen minutes away from us and our uncle and girlfriend live in Vernon, about 5 hours hour away.  The visit, conversation and snacking food was as good as always and we all parted company around 10:00pm.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Cards are the “10 of Coins: History.  A knowledge of and appreciation for history.  Seeing your concerns in a larger context.  Seeing your life as a story; who is the author?” and the “10 of Wands: The Burden.  Responsibilities.  Obligations.  Overcommitting yourself.  Realizing that burdens are a part of life” with clarification from the “4 of Coins: The Lighting Director.  A position of power.  Wanting to control how others perceive things.”

As I more and more become the author of my own life I realize that my burdens are of my own doing and not really burdens at all but rather, lessons learned and to be learned.  In addition, they are opportunities to grow and blossom spiritually as I understand my place in life as well as the meaning of life as it pertains to me, something that is different for each of us and something that each of us must discover on our own.  As I open my mind to the universe and to Spirit the knowledge and understanding I gain opens my mind, eyes, and spirit to the wonders of life, some of which are simple, mundane, and ordinary—things which get lost in the fast-paced lives we live and the constant need to have more and more exciting extrasensory experiences to satisfy our senses.

Go into our collective past, your own past and discover the future.  Drop our Smartphone’s, computers, tablets, and game boxes and delve into our minds—places of wonder, open to discovery, and amazing special effects and answers, if we only dare give ourselves the chance to discover them.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Christmas in Seattle

Saturday, December 27th, 2014.  A happy rainy and dark Saturday welcomed us out of bed.  After a quick trip down to Seattle we’re back home.  After I finished my work day we headed south.  The drive was uneventful as was the customs and border crossing.  Upon checking into our room we headed out to rustle up some dinner for ourselves if we found any open establishments on Christmas Eve.

Much to our surprise several stores, bars, pubs, and restaurants were open.  One such place was Edge of the Circle Books.  So in we went so I could browse the store.  I love this establishment and as proof of this I walked out of there $60 lighter in the pocket but carrying a new Tarot deck, “Tarot, The Kingdom Within” by Juno Lucina and Shannon ThornFeather and a t-shirt by “The Mountain” company.


After which we looked for food to satiate our hunger and into Charlie’s Bar and Grill we found ourselves going.  Was the food awesome, not by a long-shot but it was good and the atmosphere was cozy and the server friendly and a pleasure to interact with.

Soon we were back in our room snuggled up in bed as sleep settled in.  Thank You Spirit.

Christmas Eve’s visiting Tarot Card is “X The Wheel of Life: If life on the rim makes you dizzy, move to the centre. Awareness of the cycles of life. Equanimity. A change in fortunes. Guidance from your future or past self” with hints from the “9 of Wands: Don’t mess with me.  Defensiveness.  Putting up barriers to avoid intimacy.”

Christmas Day’s visiting Tarot Card is “XXI The World: Life can be a heavy burden or a joyful one, it is mostly up to you.  Transcending your circumstances by changing them or accepting what can’t be changed” with further hints from the “8 of Swords: The Crowded Subway. Restriction.  Being trapped by your own biases and prejudices.  Feeling lonely in a crowd.”

Boxing Day’s (December 26th) visiting Tarot Card is the “6 of Cups: Happy Birthday.  Fond memories.  A gift given in friendship or love” with some hints from the “6 of Coins: Dependence.  Resentment because of financial dependence on another.  Charity.  An unequal relationship.”

Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Guide of Wands: Feeling possessed by a creative project or inspiration.  Being inspired to help others.  Doing what’s right” with a hint or two from the “7 of Swords: The Messenger.  Carrying your plans through obstacles.  Speed is important.  Someone brings news or a message.  Carelessness.”

The sights, sounds, experiences, and dreams over the last several days leads me to believe that I must do more to change myself so that I have a more powerful and positive impact on the world no matter how small of an impact it may be.  I feel really good, more than good really when Spirit is strong in my life and when this is the case I feel that I am radiating out into the world positive and loving energy that permeates the space around me and fills people in the area with hope, love, and optimism.  And the great thing is that we can all do this in our own small, little worlds and in fact some of you out there may have a bigger impact than you think.  So stand tall, spread your wings and fill the world with love, light, and hope.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The Ace of Wands and the 7 of Cups

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2014.  Last evening is a faint memory even though it’s only a mere 24 hours ago.  I remember dinner, playing around briefly with my model railroad layout, and flipping through my model railroad magazines however this does not seem to make up an entire evening.  However, I slept well even with a quick wake-up or two.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Ace of Wands: A creative inspiration. The beginning of a project or venture” and is tempered by the “7 of Cups: The Bookstore.  Choosing between different approaches.  Contemplating choices when you should be acting.”

Contemplation is no longer an option as the time for action is now and now is the time I am going to act on my creative inspiration that is leading to a great project and venture.  I arrived at this conclusion upon seeing in my inbox an email from a spiritual university regarding meditation, meditation that was on my mind throughout the day yesterday that also inspired many spiritual thoughts throughout my workday today.

An epiphany perhaps or a serendipitous and/or synchronistic happening that leads me to believe that spirit is the way to live a unique and productive life.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 2 of Coins and the Ace of Swords

Monday, December 22nd, 2014.  Another day of sleep and active dreams.  The night was a lot longer than I expected it to be.  My dreams were eye-opening, educational and encouraging as Spirit’s presence was with me throughout the night.

Last night we made a jaunt down to our local favourite Greek restaurant to celebrate for the third year in a row and at the same restaurant, our friend’s birthday.  The food as always was good.  The restaurant being close and it being a workday today we made it home early enough to relax and unwind for the evening before hitting the bed.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “2 of Coins: Tai Chi.  Flexibility.  “Going with the flow”.  Living in tune with your environment” that is tempered by the “Ace of Swords: An idea.  Starting to develop a plan or strategy.”

Both the “2 of Coins” and the “Ace of Swords” have meaning for me today.  My dreams being such as they were emphasized my need to be more in tune with Spirit and Nature through working more with Tarot and my Chakras as well as by taking and making time to meditate.  In one dream I was crying and crying out over the lack of Spirit in my life; in another I was...I lost the memory of the other couple I dreams I had...darn...

But these dreams along with a news piece that just aired make me well aware that I need to build a stronger spiritual life for myself and focus much more attention on this side of my life now and where I believe I need to go to make my life even more spiritually strong and fulfilling.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
