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.

Blessed Be.

The 'III of Cups', Flexibility and Adaptability

Friday, August 21st, 2015.  I had a decent night last night my website is back up and running...this really helped to relax consciously and subconsciously and what a difference it made.  Not that it truly bothered me however it weighed on me in a manner that I noticed but was not focusing on.

I spent the night fine-tuning the materials I will take with me on vacation.  My aim is to really focus on improving my connection with Spirit and the manner in which I work with Tarot and my spiritual good deeds.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "III of Cups: People around you are seeking acknowledgement in the form of positive strokes or physical affection.  Flexibility and adaptability will bring luck.  Family problems soon mellow.  When reversed: Don’t let disappointments get in the way of your happiness.  Beware of overindulgence and depression.  Jealousy clouds reason."

My co-workers were definitely in need of compliments and encouragement and they all took it to heart acknowledging my input with big beaming smiles.  My flexible ways and knack at being adaptable always make for a fairly easygoing day.  Reminders that the job will be a god cushion and back-up for me as I continue transitioning to a spiritual career...to really being Wizard Oron.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'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.

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.

The 'Ace of Swords' and Following My Pioneering Spirit

Tuesday, August 18, 2015.  I slept rather well but had a couple of quick trips to the bathroom...too much water and drink over the course of the evening I suppose.  I had active dreams some involving family and others where I didn't recognize anyone.  Oh, in one dream I was discussing Tarot with someone and I was dressed my "spiritual" outfit that I have sitting on the backburner...cool!

Then the alarm sang to us but I rolled over and almost fell asleep...I caught myself but feel that this is a good sign that I can sleep in past 6:00am on the weekends.  Breakfast was pleasant and working with Tarot a bit too rushed for my liking however still meaningful and insightful.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Ace of Swords: Your spirit is strong and pioneering.  Don’t let your ego get in the way.  This is a good time to push ahead with ideas, contract negotiations, and other legal matters.  Goals you can meet quickly are better than long-range ones.  When reversed: Things are out of balance.  Practice patience and perseverance.  This is the time for some solo work.  In your dealings with others, don’t distort the facts."

For me the two phrases that stand out for me are: "Your spirit is strong and pioneering" and "Goals you can meet quickly are better than long-range ones."  I need to keep spirit front and centre and set incremental goals that move me forward squarely in the direction I need to go for sure and for certain.  A card of re-enforcement for what I'm doing, where I'm going and where I want to go...moving humbly forward thanks to the wonderful and loving presence and guidance of Spirit.

I'm working on the road to bring about positive change to this sometimes weary world.  Some people are in need of hope, inspiration, and optimism and this is where I want to help.

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.
