Card One: Ten of Swords, Reversed: There is a sequence of events which you have been experiencing for some time, which you have convinced yourself is going to lead to very bad fortune for you--"ruin" in some way, financial, personal, or physical. This card says that all that was happening so that you could focus on this situation, but that things will change this week in a dramatic way, so that what appeared to be "Ruin" for you will actually be something that will benefit you in some measurable way, and may visit "Ruin" on the circumstance or person/people that were trying to do something bad to you. <br />

Card Two: Four Of Stones: This card is a representation of a "foundation", as we use when we are going to build something. There are potential possibilities in your immediate future which simply need your focus and activity on deciding something specific for which to use these possibilities to "Build" some situation, event, or activity that will assist you in creating your own personal future and making things work for you as they would if you were to build yourself a new spiritual home, just as you wished it to be. <br />

Card Three: Mother/Queen of Wands: This is Kali, known as both the Creator and the Destroyer, and her elemental energy combines giving birth and sending death where things must end. In your reading, see this week as a turning point, wherein Kali's energy will be there with you, because the idea is that you must discard some things, kill or get rid of some ideas or habits or connections with circumstances--you are going to need to empty your package in order to make room for that which the Goddess is giving birth for you. Kali's colors, red, white, and black, are the colors of blood (life and
death), milk (nurturance) and earth (death, the darkness from which we
come and to which we return), and all three of these states of being are necessary for you to experience in order to make a place for the Goddess' creative and motherly energy.

Tarot Blog Hop Mabon 2019<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
<a href="https://www.messagesfromlore.com/2019/09/mabon-blog-hop-my-harvest.html">Blog Before Me</a> <a href="https://tarotwitchery.blogspot.com/2019/09/httpstarotwitcheryblogspotcommasterlist.html"> Master List </a> <a href="https://www.tarotandstars.com/2019/09/what-is-my-harvest-and-how-do-i-find-it.html">Blog After Me</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Autumn Equinox, also known as Mabon, is the focus of collecting one's personal harvest, including what you have learned, what you have decided is important and what you have decided to get rid of, your plans for making productive use of the autumn and winter months, including thoughts of the holidays that fall within this time, and your own personal viewing and self-exploration of your own inner Being. How have you changed, what are you beginning, and what have you completed, and most significantly, how have you begun to further and more deeply understand your Self?</div>
<br />
My personal analysis of the details of a person's Being relies on the Celtic concept of the Three Realms, known as Land, Sea, and Sky, and representing Body, Mind, and Spirit. So in planning this Hop, I suggested the reading technique I am now using, I am drawing three cards for each of the Realms, nine cards total. And they will answer for me three questions, one set for my Body, one for my Mind, and one for my Spirit. The questions are:<br />
<br />
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
1. What do I need to know about the current condition of my (Body, Mind, Spirit) that I am not aware of right now?</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
2. What is the most important thing on which I need to focus in the realm of my (Body, Mind, Spirit) as I move into the winter months?</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
3. What is the main content and context of the harvest of better health, new ideas, or deeper spiritual resonance, allied with Body, Mind, or Spirit, that I am going to receive if I focus on these things?<br />
<br />
So here are my cards, and my interpretations, of what this year's Harvest consists of, and what I will be doing with it. Here we go:</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
<br /></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
<br /></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
BODY: Three cards drawn are as follows: <br />
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
1. What do I need to know about the current condition of my Body that I am not aware of right now?<br />

It is useless to eat things that don't help me lose weight. It is useless not to use my body so I can make it work better. <br />

1. What do I need to know about the current condition of my Mind that I am not aware of right now?<br />

I need to be careful to realize that the harvest of the given year is MY harvest, and focus on, and think of, what matters to ME. <br />

/>This card is my personal reminder that I must value my own ideas and impulses and see the richness of my own ideas, instead of always feeling that other people come first and that I must have the approval of someone else before I consider working on a given idea of my own. My personal richness is, like that of everyone else, the Gift of Life, and no one else has the same mind or same ideas as any other person. So I must see my own Richness and decide what to do with it. <br />

Here is Odin the All-Powerful, hanging powerless from the Tree of Life, to encourage his brethren, the Midir, not to fear him but to come and communicate with him. I need to focus on the things and people with whom I share Spirit, such as my coveners and my Pagan community, and I need to make absolutely sure that I am including each and every one of my community members in creating the world of Spirit which we share together. I am not here alone, and I need to create connection so that my Spirit harvest will be complete. </div>

I have discovered, over many years of reading cards, that the timing of the spread and interpretation will, whether or not I intend it that way, definitely interact with Spirit so that the cards drawn for a given question will be vastly different depending on what time of the day they are drawn. For this blog hop, I have done a reading on a specific question for myself, and I took the deck and let it sit out under the full of the moon and then drew my cards first thing in the morning, high noon, sunset, and midnight. Same question each time, two cards each draw, like this:<br />
<br />
"Should I, or should I not, continue as a member of ________? First card is "If I do, then this." Second card is, "If I don't, then this." Here is what Spirit told me:<br />

It was uncannily precise, and let me know that the time of day and what it does for my personal energy was a real component not only of what cards were drawn, but of what I interpreted them to mean. I have decided, and I know that the cards were highly instrumental in assisting me to make my decision. Hope you too can find the "right time" to get your own personal "right answer". It works.<br />

<a href="https://occultgardenparties.blogspot.com/2019/05/continuing-education-for-lodge-master.html"> Previous Blog</a> <a href="https://joyvernon.com/blog/2019-mid-spring-tarot-blog-hop-master-list/">Master List </a> <a href="https://joyvernon.com/blog/tarot-continuing-education/">Next Blog</a><br />
<br />
Our Wrangler for this Hop, Joy Vernon, suggested that we might wish to take a look, not simply at what we see when we do our readings, but at how we are deepening our understanding of Tarot and how we might be passing that knowledge along. Her questions, which are the topical threads for this Hop. were presented this way:<br />
<ul class="_5a_q _5yj1" dir="ltr">
<li class="_2cuy _509q _2vxa">What classes are you taking/recommending? </li>
<li class="_2cuy _509q _2vxa">What are you doing to advance your knowledge/experience/abilities with tarot?</li>
</ul>
I have been given much to think about in mentally pursuing this topic, and I have decided that some of what I know might need to be deepened, and some of what I do might need to be shared. Here are some of my own actions and intentions to make the experience of reading and interpreting Tarot be deeper and more meaningful, not just for me personally but also for my clients.<br />
<br />
I have recently begun working with my coven, and with certain students who met me as a result of having readings, with the intent of creating a triadic meaning of Tarot spreads and individual cards. I utilize the Celtic lore of Body, Mind, and Spirit in discussing and teaching methodology for interpreting each card in a given reading as it relates to each of these elemental entities. And I have discovered a great benefit in assisting clients to look at the singular meaning of one aspect of a card, or a group of cards, individually interpreting the impact of that same card or cards on Body, Mind, and Spirit. In order to deepen my own abilities to assist clients in this kind of understanding, I myself have begun studying with a reader whom I met at a Psychic Fair last year, who is a psychologist in her mundane job, and who utilizes her awareness of the psychological, physiological, and philosophical ideas of humanity in any given situation to deepen her ability to explain the cards to her clients. I am finding that this is highly useful and adds a far deeper resonance to the knowledge the cards may already convey. In order to deepen understanding of the relationship of the cards with Body, Mind, and Spirit, I am teaching my coveners to take any card in the Tarot and decide which of the Trees of the Celtic Ogham also resonates with that meaning. We have found this a highly useful practice. <br />
<br />
And what I am learning is very new to me and very informative. This year, very recently, I was introduced by a friend to something I had never used, seen, or even heard of-- the Lenormand deck. I must say, beginning to study it and learn to interpret it has opened up an entirely new aspect of divination for me. I am now able, in a completely new environment, to look deep within my Self, and begin to understand, on a different level, my own thoughts, insights, foundations of understanding, and many other aspects of beginning to explain my own techniques and interpretations of the practice of divination to my Self. One of the first things I began to realize was that over the many years I have been reading, my interpretations of cards and card groupings had begun to be somewhat predetermined, and that it is simgularly essential to any individual reading to look at that set of cards as if you had never seen them before and interpret for the client from the base of the inner realm of spirit. The Lenormand brings an entirely new set of ideas to the table, and is adding much new awareness and insight to what I am able to read with this deck. I am actually just beginning to understand the inner meanings of cards and card combinations, so I am looking forward to deepening my awareness of these ideas over many months of study. <br />
<br />
This summer I am going to be offering a class for those who wish to understand the Major and Minor arcana of the traditional Tarot with a deeper insight into modern society. More information about that will be available as I learn about it. But for now, I am delighted to discover that, even after 48 years as a reader of runes and cards, I am far from knowing all there is to know about it yet. Teaching, in my own experience, also includes learning, and in the realm of divination, I am currently experiencing both. I recommend that each of you might also benefit from this kind of practice. <br />

<br />
This Hop recognizes the unique characteristics of the many different decks, different reading techniques, and different associations brought into play by each and every reader of Tarot and Oracle cards. In the words of our Wrangler, Morgan Drake Eckstein: <b>"As readers and users of the symbolism of the Tarot and oracle decks, we
create a string of associations with the emblems and mythology of
divination. For instance, with the cards of the Tarot, a reader can
associate them with events, people, feelings, places, etc. Those who
dive into the esoteric systems will sometimes also have dates and
locations, zodiac symbols, kabbalahistic ideas, etc. associated with the
cards. Basically, divination systems are like a giant filing cabinet
that we toss imagery into, so that later we can use the symbols as a
hint of what is going on."</b> And so each of us has been invited to share our personal experience of discovering "Odd Associations" as we delve into the esoteric meanings and resonances of our cards. <br />
<br />
My own experience is connected on several levels with the Sabbat, Imbolc, that is the time of this Hop. I am a Priestess of the Goddess Brighid, and Imbolc is Her primary festival. And the associations of this Sabbat, whose name means, literally, "in the belly", have to do with the beginning of new ideas, the birth of images and connections with events, deities, and the actual energies of the person for whom I am reading. And for me, one of my primary and constantly occurring "Odd Associations" is the resonance of the aura of the person for whom I am reading with the basic meaning of each card, and the numerological associations of each card with all the others, and with the "soul numbers" of the client, which simply emerge in the process of the reading.<br />
<br />
As an example of this phenomenon, and how the associations work, in my 34 years as a Tarot reader, I have had interactions again and again with people who are of significant "crossroads ages" in their lives, and many of them do not know the exact meaning of these guideposts until they appear in the reading. But the cards seem to be fully aware, not only of the phase of life that the person is entering or leaving, but of the new birth of ideas, events, and insights that occur "in the belly" of the person whose reading we are doing, and which need to be examined and "given birth" in order to manifest the new viewpoint and new actions that will assist the person in dealing with the events of this moment. As an example, I did a reading recently for a young man who was about to have his 22nd birthday. He wished to have a reading to give him some insights into what the next year would bring, but he was unaware of the resonance of 22 as a "Master Number" in numerology, and was also not familiar with the concept of reading someone's aura as a guidepost to the way the seven chakras of the individual were focusing and guiding the events of their current state of being. But the "Odd Association" of the cards which were drawn in this reading was that each of the seven cards we drew was one of the cards that represented a particular auric state and a threshold of change for the young man--and when they all were connected in the order of their appearance, we could link each of them to one of his seven chakras, and adding their numbers in both the suits that occurred and the Major Arcana cards, each group of cards added up to 22. Much of my interpretation of the cards had to do with explaining to the young man the numerological resonance of each individual card and the connections as we grouped them to the phases of his current threshold of being. And as we finished the reading, I shuffled the entire deck, Major Arcana and Minor Arcana, all 78 cards in one random stack, and asked him if he would like to draw a "threshold card" to answer the concept of "All right, then, what next? What do I focus on?" And he said that he would like to draw 2 cards, one that was about where he should go next, and the other saying what he should avoid doing or experiencing. And he did so--and, just to underline what the reading had already spoken to him, the two cards he chose added up, of course, to 22. <br />
<br />
Experiences of this kind have occurred so often that when I read cards, whether the Tarot, my Ogham Oracle, or my Spirit Deck, I always apply the numerological significance of the cards and the resonance of the auric connections to my interpretation of the reading. And even though on many levels these connections represent "Odd Associations", they keep reminding me that in psychic readings, nothing is fixed and immovable, and the reader needs to ride the constantly changing tides of flux and flow, both in interpreting the reading for the client and in focusing their own insight and awareness of how the Spirit works in psychic readings. So--I don't consider these associations particularly Odd, much of the time. I am more likely to hear Spirit saying to me, "So, you thought you understood how these cards connect and how they need to be interpreted, eh? Well--here's a new one for you. Take THAT, and see what you can do with it!!" And I do, and I will, because of all the insights of psychic reading that have presented themselves to me over the years, the one with which I resonate the most deeply is that nothing is set in stone, and if I think I know exactly what a particular combination of cards means--guess what? I just found out something brand-new about it. Odd Associations are the insights which make it possible to understand the aspects of a given set of cards, and realize that even the same set of cards is going to be able to be interpreted differently, every single time. So--as a reader, every time I teach, I am also learning. May it be so, always!<br />

<br /></div>
The TarotWitch has taken quite the hiatus, but it is time once again to begin sharing the regular intersection of body, mind, and spirit that can guide us into a productive and beneficial week. Three cards, one each for Land/Body, Sea/Mind, and Sky/Spirit, drawn on the first day of the weekend, to give us all time to look and think and interpret before we move once again into our work-week, where the message of the cards will incorporate itself into our week's actions and give us deeper understanding of how the YOUniverse is interacting with each one of us. So--here is this week's three-card guide-map to our inner life, so we can move in thought, action, and interaction with spirit. Here we go:<br />
<br />
Land/Body: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is going to be the last week of 2018, and we will be looking at the state of our health, our finances, our homes and surroundings, and all the other physical manifestations of the passing year, and asking ourselves: "What has increased my good fortune this year, and how can I carry this energy into the New Year without limiting my opportunities or narrowing my perspective?" Fortune is a word having to do not simply with finances, but with the entire layout of possibilities and achievements, and this card is asking us to look carefully at where we stand right this minute in our physical circumstances, and decide for ourselves what we intend to carry forward, and how we intend to do so. <br />

We are seeing the inner resources of our own minds in the form of this card, "Aeon," representing "the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" and indicating new ideas, thoughts and mental explorations that have yet to emerge, but are waiting for us. Aeon (Judgment) emphasizes the theme of renewal for
the whole planet. When we think of the card in readings we see that this
can apply to an individual as well. The card of Aeon is a powerful one.
It tells you that this is a time of change. The person who receives
Aeon becomes "reborn" into a new situation. This may involve a real
change in circumstances--a new job, a move to a new home, a new
relationship. Sometimes, the new situation is psychological, a new way of
looking at life in which everything becomes fresh.<br /><br />Sky/Spirit:<br />

All too often, we have so little understanding of, or faith in, our own interactions with Spirit that we somehow feel as if, unless someone else tells us what Spirit is saying and what it means, we won't be able to understand it. This card is telling us, for this last week of the current year, the exact opposite. We already know, very simply, that we don't "know", we can simply wait to find out, what Spirit has in store for us. But this card is reassuring us that no matter what we see in our new walk of Spirit, no matter how unique or unusual or simply new, Happiness and Joy will be the result of our explorations. So--fear not, walk in Beauty, and wait to see what the YOUniverse will hand to you. It is going to bring Joy, and if you let yourself fly free in the company of Spirit, you can't do it wrong. So--just DO it. Happy New Year!!<br /><br /><br /><br />Aisling the Bardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06967415135380920815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1862716380437548329.post-68787174167624590092018-12-21T10:00:00.000-07:002018-12-21T11:57:49.646-07:00Tarot Blog Hop Yule 2018: Finding My Cozy<a href="https://tarotbyarwen.com/?p=19543"> Blog Before Me </a> <a href="https://cosmicwhisperstarot.com/yule-tarot-blog-hop-2018-master-list/">Master List </a> <a href="http://www.tarotofchange.com/2018/12/tarot-blog-hop-cozy.html">Blog After Me</a><br />
<br />
Good tidings of Yuletide, my friends. Our wonderful wrangler, Joanne Sprott, has requested us to remember the necessity of warmth within in this time of the year wherein yes, baby, it IS cold outside. She suggested various ideas concerning ways to discuss and meditate upon how one finds one's own "cozy" during this season, and this one really spoke to me: "Create a Tarot spread around asking for ways to increase the cozy in
your life right now, or if you like, you can focus on insulating against
the cold (or both)." This resonates with me, because I am a snow-lover who lives in one of the best ski areas in the United States, but notwithstanding that, I am absolutely unable to remain in good physical, mental, or emotional health when I become too chilled. I NEED my "cozy", and I know there is more than one kind of warmth that will permit me to love and enjoy the snow and ice, and the feeling of death and rebirth over the winter, and yet I need to be able to connect with my mind, will, body, emotions and spirit without letting myself freeze within and without. So--here is a draw I created, simply connecting to the elemental nature of the Tarot and the ways that each element resonates within my own life. Air is thought and inspiration, represented by Swords; Fire is inner light, personal power, and is represented by Rods: Earth is manifest reality and stability, represented by Stones; Water is the flux and flow of emotion and the refreshment of the inner Being, represented by Cups; and Spirit is the entire focus of all the angles of reality represented by the Major Arcana. So, I separated each section of the deck into a stack in itself, and drew one card from each, asking the Universe: "In my Mind, my Will, my Body, my Emotions, and my Spirit, what must I do to find and maintain my warmth in the cold, my "cozy"?. And here is what I discovered:<br />
<br />
AIR:<br />

I drew this card reversed, and in its appearance in that position reinforces something I have been working on within myself for many years--the concept (the IDEA) of refraining from self-criticism at the expense of your calmness of mind. Cruelty of mind, believing one's own ideas are worthless compared to the opinions of others, is one way to defeat the "cozy" and send the chill of winter into one's head. So I promised myself, on sight of this card, to welcome my thoughts and ideas with warm appreciation and hospitality of mind, permitting myself to open a light into the darkness of winter, and, huddled up within my mind, snuggle into the "cozy" of self-exploration and new ideas. It does, indeed, make things within my brain more hospitable and warmer. I will be feeding the fire of personal ideas and new thoughts throughout the dead of winter, to bring inner warmth to life. <br />

FIRE: <br />

Another reversal!!! I believe the YOUniverse is speaking to me, telling me what is going to stoke and feed the cozy fires of inner warmth and light, and what is going to extinguish them and leave me freezing. I do suffer the consequences of my Irish temper, often, with family and other dear ones, and drawing this card reversed was a clear and powerful mandate to refrain from conflict and to extinguish the wild flame of anger and disagreement and, well, conflict. One wishes to create the warmth of interaction with family and friends, sitting around the hearth sharing talk and laughter and intimate understanding of one another, and maybe even a warm cup of something delicious. So--to keep the "cozy", refrain from conflict and instead focus on positive interactions. I can DO this!<br />

EARTH:<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0000ee;">Aahh...the warmth of actual knowledge and awareness is something the YOUniverse is reminding me to awaken, use, and enjoy to create and maintain the cozy warmth of positive energy in action. I already have some "winter skills", some cooking, some beverage making, some enjoyable indoor activities, some ways to organize and arrange my home environment so that it speaks of peace, joy, love, and the warmth of family and friends. And--if I think, and read, and study, and learn, in the lovely and calm peace of winter's indoor days, I may yet be able to increase my store of knowledge and add some tools to the "cozy bag" I am currently using; Soo...time to cuddle up in front of the fire with a cup of soup and a couple of friends and family members, and share knowledge of ways to warm and brighten the Yuletide. Let's grow our cozy by feeding our minds, together. <br /><br />WATER:</span><br />

<span style="color: #0000ee;">
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A smile illuminated my face as I saw what the YOUniverse had sent me to elaborate on my feelings and emotions---the Ace of Cups, the absolute focus of loving interaction. This card reminds me that my cup is already filled to overflowing, but that the more of the rich balm of love and understanding I am able to consume and share, the more the cup will refill itself, again and again. Each person, each event, each experience of my inner life during the winter darkness, will illuminate me with inner light and warmth and peace, and keep me cozy. </div>
<br />
SPIRIT:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
And here we have the wonderful culmination of the cozy spirit--the many faces and directional foci of Brahma, the spirit of warmth and light. No accident that he is a Deity of fire, holding the wand of light, and looking in many directions. He reminds me that there is always another way, another idea, and something more within to awaken my own warmth and light. Keep loving, keep looking, keep laughing, and I will remain cozy and aware of light throughout the dark time. I can DO this. You try it too, eh? </div>

<br />
<br />
In creating this Hop, I truly believe it was the spirits of some of my own beloved dead who brought me to thinking of the questions I utilized to create the topics for the Hop, as follows:<br />
<br />
1. What is the most important thing the spirits of your beloved dead
have been attempting to show or teach you this year?
<br />
<br />
2. What is your personal connection to Spirit, as you define it, whether
that be Gods and Goddesses, the Powers of the Land, the Souls of the
Dead (or the Living), or in any other way you define this word. How does
Spirit connect with you and at the end of this year, what is the
primary energy of Spirit that is showing itself to you?
<br />
<br />
3. What will be your personal Gift to Spirit, whether this is an
offering made to Deity, something you will do because of what Spirit has
taught you, or some other way of acknowledging the influence of the
Living Dead on your own life?<br />
<br />
And I was all set to answer the questions as those of whom I was thinking might have suggested, so here are my responses, one for each of the people I believe, from my own inner light and from the Samhain rites I have already attended this season, were definitely trying to talk to me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1r3x7aRBY9V0mGBdrCsS-BSAd3CuzayOvK9oFOfUX5nig0pXmyJRoRixPpjmP_n6Zh19l_iiSK2dCtaLg04BpChzv9CM1-Wkb_mVyEHwQG7uxq1xJNaSkwmmTPv1EVzvkI4rGLKTUH7Lk/s1600/04_Haindl_Empress.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="197" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1r3x7aRBY9V0mGBdrCsS-BSAd3CuzayOvK9oFOfUX5nig0pXmyJRoRixPpjmP_n6Zh19l_iiSK2dCtaLg04BpChzv9CM1-Wkb_mVyEHwQG7uxq1xJNaSkwmmTPv1EVzvkI4rGLKTUH7Lk/s320/04_Haindl_Empress.jpg" width="174" /></a></div>
The first person I know would want to speak to me about this is my dear mother Mary, and the card she always resonated with in my decks was the Empress, saying to me, "She's always giving birth to something new, and that is something I do all day, every day." So here is the Empress, and to me, it represents my own mother's ability to take whatever is given to her and produce something new and beautiful and useful from it, no matter what it is. And at Samhain, that is a very good way to focus your own energy on the energies of the Spirit of the Season, both ending, and beginning. Learning how to do this myself at the age of 71 is one of the most significant things I have learned from her <br />
spirit.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8ylhbRK8HZ9zo9edx-8JvU8Mz4taawnXuBtCG-us8ta1LnE_9c-hMy9fLmzT_4UZ9SUBP4d01eJwfxSwTNCN9XVuwkWRt5W8jkgVe6I4x-rMMd2M69cOP-xZrHvvxTm5TEpvGU3tmrVJP/s1600/Haindl_Hierophant.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="197" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8ylhbRK8HZ9zo9edx-8JvU8Mz4taawnXuBtCG-us8ta1LnE_9c-hMy9fLmzT_4UZ9SUBP4d01eJwfxSwTNCN9XVuwkWRt5W8jkgVe6I4x-rMMd2M69cOP-xZrHvvxTm5TEpvGU3tmrVJP/s320/Haindl_Hierophant.jpg" width="174" /></a></div>
<br />
My
next beloved spirit is my father, and his energy was always that
represented by the Hierophant, the Seeker and Source of Inner Wisdom. He
was the one who repeated, incessantly to each of us children when we
were growing up, "How can you say you're bored? Don't you have ANYTHING
going on inside your mind?" I have learned, and hope to have taught to
my own children, that inner wisdom is valid and must be
acknowledged--one can't look outside the Self to find the answers for
everything. One of our main difficulties as humans is that often we
know, but we don't know that we know. And every time I come up with some
kind of new idea or insight from within my own head, I see my Dad
standing before me waiting to discuss it with me. I consider the things I
can think of, some of them not thought of ever before or given to me by
another living person, as perhaps the gift I can give to Spirit as I
improve on my own inner wisdom and attempt to share it with my Universe.

<br />
<br />
The third beloved spirit who has been influencing my inner being at this time of year for over 30 years is the spirit of my older sister, Ellen, who died before I was born. And the card that is her being and her message has apparently changed each and every year--this year, she sends me, and lives within, the Star. Her message to me is different from the one I have always used. I saw the Star as a reminder to look up and see the truth of the Self, not the reflection as seen by others. But Ellen's message, in my dream of last night, simply said, "The Star reminds us that, in a sense, we are agents of divine will in
our day-to-day lives. If we let go of the idea that we are supposed to
be in control, we can more easily notice and appreciate the
synchronicities that are nudging us along. We are all of Spirit, both the living and the dead, so it isn't about what you see in yourself, not all the time. It is about what you see in your Spirit and how that connects with the Eternal Spirit of all life." I am truly meditating on this one, and will be thinking about it, probably, from this day until next year when Ellen and I talk again. <br />
<br />
These three people, and their cards, are my own interpretation, not only of the questions asked, but also of the true meaning of Samhain. It may be the end of the year, but it is also the beginning of the following year, and the end of life is also the beginning of the next life. And may your own walk into life from the death of the current year be rewarding and amazing.<br />

<br />
<br />
For this year's Hop honoring the week-long festival of Mabon, our awesome Wranglers, Jenn Waltner & Louise Underhill, asked us to consider the concept of balance, as Mabon is that time when the light and dark are equal, and we might like to see if the events of our own lives follow that pattern of balance. My own thoughts on this concept created for me a "light and dark" layout for my Mabon reading, resembling the concept of yin-and-yang, and focusing on the idea: "What do I need more of, and what do I need less of, going into the realm of winter?"<br />
<br />
So--how does one do this? I had an idea that seemed to call upon Spirit to connect me with what is needed and what is finished, as drawing cards in this fashion needs to be completely in the realm of Spirit, not my own pre-planned choices. So--I simply spread out my entire Haindl Tarot in a curved format, all 78 cards creating a rainbow-shaped pattern on my table. And then I thought of this year, 2018, numerologically a Master Number, the number 11. It seemed as if that needed to be in there somewhere. So--Mabon is the 21st of September, the 9th month, and I used the patterns of the numbers to create the method of choosing cards. I began at either end, and counted from each end to draw the cards, number 11 for the year, number 9 for the month, and numbers 21 and 3 for the festival itself. And there I had it--four cards from each direction, from left to right indicating what I needed to increase, and from right to left indicating what I needed to decrease, to create balance in my life. So, here we go:<br />
<br />
<i><b>Card Number 11 </b></i><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What needs to increase? The three of cups represents commingling one's own ideas with the input and support of family and friends, which will result in filling one's cup to "overflowing". So, for me, this winter, less alone-time and dark moods, and more recognition of the joy and love I have available to me, to share and delight in. </div>

What needs to decrease? The Son of Cups, Parsival after the achievement
of the Holy Grail, represents the idea of being willing to let go of
things that have been completed, even if they did not turn out as one
desired. It is time to admit the quest to be over, see what has actually
occurred, and decide what that means to me while looking at the bigger
picture. </div>

The<i><b> </b></i>Two of Swords, entitled "Peace", represents the concept of permitting certain things to simply be what they are. Have patience. There are circumstances in which action is better than
non-action. This, however, is not one of them. Remain silent as much as
possible and allow things to settle. A little meditation can help you
achieve greater objectivity. You do not have enough information, as all
the evidence hasn't come in yet. Be at peace, and let things develop before you attempt to act. <br />

What should I do less of? The Son of Swords, Osiris of the All-Seeing Eye, can also represent someone who simply believes that their own view is the only correct one, and refuses to listen or to take other viewpoints into account, especially in a situation of disagreement with others. Don't let yourself feel that you MUST be right and everyone else is wrong. Don't just Look, Listen. You don't have all the answers. </div>

What should I do more of? The Sun is the representation of the High Self, one's actual persona, no matter how little of it one usually sees. Let your light shine. Be confident in the sacred power of your original nature. The card suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible. The Sun card advises you
to have confidence in your natural divinity. Throw off any cultural
conditioning that keeps you from being authentic with yourself.<br />

What must I do less of? Sometimes you simply can't change
or act on a circumstance, no matter how hard you try. So stop resisting
your circumstances and let some time go by. Eventually,
you will be released a little wiser and not much the worse for wear. You
will come to realize in time how you collaborated with the problem.<br />

What must I do more of? The Mage represents the High Self, one's own personal power and ability, and the concept of creating one's reality in accord with one's own skill and talent, utilizing the resources available. Simply put, what I must do more of is to simply Become, and Be, my Self. All power lies within. Find it and use it.<br />

What must I do less of? Stop sending your Self negative vibes, believing that everything is going to fail, that your own resources are not sufficient to deal with what Life sends you. The Tower is NOT coming down--but you may be remodeling it. Let yourself have some positive energy, and stop acting as if your life is beyond your control. It isn't. Only YOU can be YOU. So do it.<br />

This reading told me things I really needed to know about keeping and restoring the balance of my life. I am so grateful to the Wranglers and the Blog Hoppers for the opportunity. May all of us receive Balance and know how to sustain it! Mabon Blessings on you all!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Our awesome wrangler, Arwen Lynch Poe, has given us the opportunity in this Hop to look forward at the energies of Lugh, the Holly King, the waning Sun, and our own personal actions and reactions, and determine what we would like to harvest this cycle. For me, the energies of this festival are pervasive and personal, as we have been homeless and living in an extended-stay motel for almost a year. What I would like to harvest is a Home, a Hearth, a beginning of our new life together. So, taking the Sun, and using the card to decide how, when, why, and what will be the energies of this festival, and what will be my harvest, I came up with a plan....<br />
<br />
I did this working on the Full Blood Moon, which is also the Holly Moon, sacred to the Holly King, the God of the harvest. I shuffled my whole deck, the Haindl Tarot with which I do my professional readings, and simply went through it, card by card, until I found the Sun card. And the reading was done by selecting the two cards which preceded the Sun in the shuffled deck, and the two which followed it. The preceding cards represented what more needs to be done to achieve the harvest, and the following cards represented what will be the actual energy brought forth. So--here we go:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is the Sun, the bringer of bounty, the source of the harvest to come. And in order to achieve it, here is the direction we must take:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Maintain ourselves in patience, be willing to "hurry up and wait" and use the time of waiting to contemplate exactly what we need and require and what might be extraneous. The process will take time, and we're not done yet. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Don't permit ourselves to be distracted by worry, impatience, or annoyance because things have not yet come to fruition. The Devil represents "the obstacle" and in traditional lore, was a servant of Jehovah making it clear whether His followers were willing to hold to the path regardless of obstacles and distractions. So--don't let ourselves be "bedeviled". Take time, thought, and focus, and wait the cycle out.<br />
<br />

<br />
A new discovery and journey of inner knowledge awaits us. This move will give us an entirely new perspective on our life together, and bring to the surface new awareness that has been awaiting our change of perspective. Rejoice in the journey, and examine and experience each note of the new tune that will lead us forward.<br />

<br />
<br />
The race is on, and we are standing tall and steady on the new path, and there is nothing we cannot achieve as long as we keep moving forward. We are going to win!<br />
<br />
Happy Sun Harvest, and can what you achieve be as wonderful as our future looks to become!<br />

Our lovely Wrangler for this event, Joy Vernon, has given us much freedom concerning the way we utilize this well-known song and its inner meaning to illustrate our Midsummer Dreams for this Blog Hop. For me, as a musician and poet, there was no question about how I would interpret this one. Here is a song of my own composition, combining the elemental nature of the Tarot and the freedom sought in this song, and a layout that intersects with both. Get out your cards, get in tune, start flipping cards, and let's hear you sing! <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="G1VCxe kno-fb-ctx">
<div>
Oh give me cards, Tarot cards, and the light they soon will shine...<br />
Don't fence me in!<br />
I'll receive, I believe, all the path that's shown as mine...<br />
Don't fence me in.</div>
<div>
A card for each time of day from the dawn to dusk,<br />
I smell the lovely scent of Mother Nature's musk<br />
Reminding me that life is more intent than luck, so<br />
Don't fence me in!<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Just let me see what the layout has to show me<br />
In the symbols of each card...<br />
I can be free if I let the spirit know me, <br />
Even though sometimes it's hard. </div>
<div>
I want to read through the night till the morn commences--<br />
The images of cards will wake my inner senses<br />
And help me see the open gates in all the fences.<br />
Don't fence me in!<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="rGtH5c">
And then I'll sail over land in my own delightful world,</div>
<div class="rGtH5c">
Don't fence me in!<br />
I'll know the way I should stay on the path that's been unfurled,</div>
<div class="rGtH5c">
Don't fence me in! </div>
<div class="rGtH5c">
I look at all the Tarot has to bring and show,</div>
<div class="rGtH5c">
The way to see each day as down the path I go.</div>
<div class="rGtH5c">
No matter what the future holds, I surely know</div>
<div class="rGtH5c">
I'm not fenced in!!</div>
<div class="rGtH5c">
***** </div>
<div class="rGtH5c">
</div>
<div class="rGtH5c">
And so--here is the draw that I literally did while I was creating the song. Four cards, representing. the here and now, the path I need to take, the destination, and the way to make certain to create the gates in any fences that will appear. So, one at a time, they will create a map of your journey. Here goes:</div>

The Daughter of Wands, Radha, the wife of Krishna, is the oldest known deity figure from the Middle East who encouraged females to hold their own will and walk their own path. This is one of the happiest cards in the deck. Her jewelry and
cosmetics show the abundance of a highly developed culture. The stories
of her playful love with Krishna show humor and humanity. She is
gentle but not passive, calm but not weak. She is devoted to her
partner without losing her sense of self. So...here you are, all of your Self, life with humor and strength, ready to walk your road. <br />

Spider Woman, the Mother of Stones, represents the journey through one's own personal labyrinth, taking it slowly, one step at a time, and knowing that "the journey IS the destination." It's not a hurry-up-let's-get-there trip---it's a slow and focused walk through all the possible twists and turns of your labyrinthine path. <br />

The Wheel of Fortune is the ideal card to represent not only the turning wheel of fate, but the concept, which many of us forget, that there is always another angle to any view, and another way to create the ideal path around obstacles. Indeed, this journey may be specifically about how you will always be able to prevent yourself from being "fenced in" if you only take another route each time an obstacle shows up. <br />
<br />
After all, this is YOUR life. So---you can't do it wrong. So--tell the YOUniverse, "Don't fence me in!" and make sure you understand that you have the power to make that happen. </div>

<br />Here's today's WitchWisdom, from a question I was asked earlier today by
my granddaughter: "What do you do when it seems like there is no good
choice and you just have to pick one of the bad ones?" I couldn't think
of a logical answer to that, so I decided to let Spirit talk
instead--and here we are:<br /><br />Apparently, the idea is simple. When we are not certain what to do in a given circumstance, we need to recall the wisdom of the Hierophant, the teacher of wisdom in medieval times. The Hierophant advises that you return to the role of a meticulous
student, yourself, learning from the circumstances. Learn everything you can about your situation and your choices. Let that
knowledge become a part of you and an operative influence on your
day-to-day awareness. In this way, you can slowly and steadily establish
real credibility to yourself, giving yourself more than one possible path and being fully aware of where each choice might take you. Because you will begin to ascertain that there IS no "bad choice" if you are being guided by your inner wisdom. Whatever you should choose will put you on the path in the direction you need to take. <br />

Daily Draw, 6/17/18Well, folks, it's been a long hiatus, but here we go again, listening to Spirit and taking into account the date, the Moon Phase, the Tree Calendar, and the numerological entities which control much of each day's work--so, here we go:<br />
<br />
June 17, 2018: Numerological Focus, 7 -- Moon Phase, Waxing (tomorrow is the First Quarter)-- Tree Calendar---Oak Moon, rising.<br />
<br />
And the Three-Card Draw--Body, Mind, Spirit:<br />
<br />
Body<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Mother of Cups: Venus of Willendorf, Queen of Earth-Spirit: This card traditionally portrays a sensitive, vulnerable, omniscient
woman who offers unconditional love. She is supremely empathic --
sometimes to a fault. Her caring nature exposes her to everybody else's
emotions and needs.
This person sometimes has difficulty identifying her own
best interests in the midst of her responsiveness to others. As a
result, she sometimes appears slightly unfocused or perhaps overwhelmed. Connected with Body, this card says: "Do not lose your Self in your eagerness to be of help to others. Your physical well-being is the main Tool you have for your own growth and development. Be real, but be focused on your own Path before that of others."<br />
<br />

<br />
Daughter of Swords, Reversed: <br />
<br />
The traditional interpretation of this card is
about a messenger, an emissary or liaison between separate camps,
charged with faithfully representing one side's communications to the
other. Both of those "sides" are within your own Mind, the receptive and the powerful, giving and receiving, saying yes and no, sometimes at the same time. Because this card, however, is also the Goddess of Farsight, we need to remember Her own qualities, not just her calling. She may be acting as the eyes and ears of your Self, her patron, but She also has Her own view, the farsight, of the results of what you may be thinking of and planning. Reversed, She is saying "Do not pay so much attention to the Path you choose to move forward on, but focus on where you are NOW and how that might affect your future."<br />

This card is a promise from Spirit, which usually comes forward when one believes that what one is called to do might be difficult and cause unhappiness for oneself and the others involved. The card is reminding you that the Joy of Spirit is about Inner Light, and often that Light only shines when something in one's mundane life is sent into darkness. Do not focus on the actions, but on the results of the actions, and happiness will be the reward of Spirit.<br />

<br />
<br />
I don't truly consider myself an "avatar of wisdom", so I am not certain I walk through my life with a need and desire to "teach the world" anything--at least not from the perspective of "let me teach you because I know so much better than you do". However, I do see in myself a great desire to assist others in seeing themselves clearly and positively, and doing, from their own perspective, all the good they can to all the people they can ... actually, John Wesley gave me the words I try to actualize in my own life, and help others to do likewise. He said, "<span class="st"> “<i>Do all the good you can</i>. <i>By all the means
you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the
times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.</i>” This would make a world so amazingly more positive and powerful than the one we live in, that I hope to try every day to actualize as much of this amazing goal as I can. And so--</span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span>
<span class="st">....how does the Tarot fit in here? Well-- we do all know the meaning, if we read Tarot, of the concept of the "significator". This is the card representing the person for whom the reading is being done, and each card in the layout is interpreted partly in reference to the significator, and their interactions work to introduce the concepts of thought and action and inspiration one hopes to have a reading bring forth. So--here is a suggestion, something I will try to teach to each one who reads this, and anyone who asks me to give them ideas about living life better. Every Full Moon, I draw three cards, for my Self, to give me the concepts of exactly what I must focus on in the walk of this Moonth. I draw these in connection with the Irish "three realms" which I grew up with--"Land, Sea, and Sky" which connect to "Body, Mind, and Spirit". And these answer for me, "What do I do, what do I think, and how does that impact my Inner Realm of Spirit?" And just as an example, for this Moonth, here are my cards, drawn on Sunday's Full Moon. I will walk in harmony with these ideas for this month, will make note of how they impact me, what I learn and what I can do about it, and then will do it again the following Full Moon. And so--Full Moon of Willow, healer of Body, Mind, and Spirit, what did you suggest I should learn?</span><br />

This card is a reminder that I am far too likely to try to change my body's parameters, my way of moving and eating and resting and exercising, and therefore I sometimes don't recognize the state my body is actually in or what I might need. SO this card is saying "Don't interfere with your Body's natural processes, and do your best to permit your physical being to modulate in harmony with what you really are doing and experiencing, instead of constantly trying to change things. What IS, is what is important. Before you try to change it, experience it and learn from it."<br />

I have had some difficult times lately, and this card is reminding me that healing the mind is based on love and acceptance of who you ARE, what you truly think and feel, and trying to use your actual Self as a tool for good and healing not just for yourself but for others. So I am working on loving who I am and not being so annoyed because I am not yet what I hope to become. Every moment matters, and Now is all we ever have. Live in the Now. <br />

This is the card that reminds us that Spirit is Real, that it manifests through our Mind and Body, and that "new beginnings" happen every day. So let your Spirit cleanse itself with each night's sleep, and awaken with a focus on what will Be, and how it will inspire us. What is Spirit, is Life. Don't let the past weigh you down. Each day is another beginning, and you can make it happen. <br />
<br />
*****<br />
<br />
And if I could do so, this, and the Wesley quote which sources it, is what I would teach the World. Live and Learn, each and every one of you. And---don't forget that your most significant teacher is your own Body, Mind, and Spirit--your Self. Give honor to that Being. And learn. <br />

<h2>
Singing In The Aether: The Music Of The Tarot </h2>
Our amazing Wrangler, Jay Cassels, has suggested that this might be a time to celebrate, since it is the 50th Anniversary Blog Hop. And so, of course, music must create the harmony and symphony of all that the Tarot does, not only for the recipient of a reading, but most deeply and permanently, for the reader. And so, in harmony with this suggestion, words and music are floating through my mind, and I present to you the Song of Spirit, the anthem which celebrates in words and song the ways in which the Tarot can make one's mind open, one's heart glow, and one's spirit dance. And so--here we go, tune your mind and voice, and feel free to sing along:<br />
<br />
(To the Tune of "Singing In The Rain")<br />
<br />
I'm drawing cards today,<br />
To guide me on my way,<br />
What a glorious feeling--<br />
My soul will sing and play!<br />
I'm laughing at Fate,<br />
The dark will have to wait,<br />
My mind and spirit say<br />
"Let this reading illustrate<br />
All the ways you can aspire<br />
To lift your spirit higher!<br />
Your deck encompasses<br />
Earth and Water, Air and Fire,<br />
So what is there to do<br />
But let your Soul look through<br />
The ways that Elemental<br />
Energy brings hope to you!"<br />
<br />
Thank you, oh Tarot,<br />
For the ways you help me know<br />
All the choices, all the ways<br />
I can just step up and GO!<br />
<br />
And so, I need to see<br />
What the future holds for me,<br />
And for this, the cards which show<br />
The path on which I go<br />
Will need to number three,<br />
For land and sky and sea.<br />
Stand on land and gaze at sky,<br />
As the Irish, from whom I<br />
Draw my life and blood and soul<br />
Knew that these three were the whole<br />
Of life, so see and hear it,<br />
Cards for Body, Mind, and Spirit!<br />
<br />
And so--Body, what say thee? Come show me, come play me!<br />

Life is moving and changing, so keep on arranging the path and the places of rest. You won't stop till you win it, so while you are in it, make each step of the Journey--the BEST!!<br />

Is written, sung, and now, friends, off I go!!!<br />

<br />
Here is the set of cards for the Foundation:<br />
<br />
LAND: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ebP9s7DkBUHIycrtRFmewYs8sOXBF79Cfqoh9Zf1x61w7QjKUOIWbiaFFhllHY64ytpglTsmk44eN7vDkNN2i5tKPeteXpEAkb1A_vk_rjzVqbak3wqIP51p0b_fk-fJCWm2ZpEv_jIk/s1600/Haindl_Father+of+Wands.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="197" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ebP9s7DkBUHIycrtRFmewYs8sOXBF79Cfqoh9Zf1x61w7QjKUOIWbiaFFhllHY64ytpglTsmk44eN7vDkNN2i5tKPeteXpEAkb1A_vk_rjzVqbak3wqIP51p0b_fk-fJCWm2ZpEv_jIk/s320/Haindl_Father+of+Wands.jpg" width="174" /></a></div>
Brahma, the dynamic King, holds his wand and looks in all directions to determine where he will begin his journey. The King of Wands in this position reminds us that our lives are
designed to bring us eventually to a place of self-ownership. An
opportunity for self-empowerment is presenting itself to you now.
Recognize that through your attitude and the way you express yourself to
others, you hold the power over your own experiences in life.<br />
<br />
SEA: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQh2i2gUf9R0PHOTekJGsXj2FyFT-38CrEJr6BUVIVUwjbuwAiZjCRHYhBdiQQM3WU-dxeKX35ho7Sfu_SRl_qobZXWtHgAvhdBXIpzaJc8Uc4srRz8hijjY64SDx1emeiQUzYlJ_97gEp/s1600/Haindl_Father+of+Cups.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="197" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQh2i2gUf9R0PHOTekJGsXj2FyFT-38CrEJr6BUVIVUwjbuwAiZjCRHYhBdiQQM3WU-dxeKX35ho7Sfu_SRl_qobZXWtHgAvhdBXIpzaJc8Uc4srRz8hijjY64SDx1emeiQUzYlJ_97gEp/s320/Haindl_Father+of+Cups.jpg" width="174" /></a></div>
Odin, the origin of the Hanged Man, voluntarily relinquished his godly powers so his brethren, the Midir, who were afraid of his power, would cease to fear him and speak with him. Support others with your strength and wisdom. The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible. The King of Cups in this position advises that you
closely examine your conscience and bring your personal mission into
alignment with what is best for everyone. You can then step into your
community or situation with integrity and an ability to communicate the
highest wisdom.<br />
<br />
SKY: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLXTNkK7SJTH4JpNs8MiRmg-DxV8IbAsKU6VOcxlrdqJDGrJQwkLl-Zlajo7Sso_-DJfnPfvzlzJWV87URyZ6sEA2aZjH5_F-vMtSgO5LX_9VTjoY73_kR_a4nHcPXFRO48zLJQXHMaSel/s1600/Haindl_9Stones.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="197" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLXTNkK7SJTH4JpNs8MiRmg-DxV8IbAsKU6VOcxlrdqJDGrJQwkLl-Zlajo7Sso_-DJfnPfvzlzJWV87URyZ6sEA2aZjH5_F-vMtSgO5LX_9VTjoY73_kR_a4nHcPXFRO48zLJQXHMaSel/s320/Haindl_9Stones.jpg" width="174" /></a></div>
Above us, the Sky represents the future which we will achieve if we are able to walk out path through the obstacles and focus on our True Will and our Wisdom. Doing both these things will increase our ability to maintain our lifestyle, and bring us many different kinds of "material gain"--everything from money to job, home, success in endeavors, and all the kinds of things we want to make our lives beautiful and bountiful. And even though that kind of thing might happen rarely--well, this is a Blue Moon, isn't it?<br />
******<br />
Here's the Triad of cards for the Construction:<br />
<br />
<i>What is the energy of the new path that presents itself? </i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5w4BWKkHYcs4xvadheJ0RD5YIWpP4ZdYgSh-AEDWdNo9PD6_c3HVMU5MimGrQTiyBwmfg1A51fA4ZNqxqBzKJOyKsBOAaohRdzrqyuz1qxBEdvBa0OBryb1WSfULcWuNsIQuU1l9zN9WD/s1600/Haindl_AStones.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="197" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5w4BWKkHYcs4xvadheJ0RD5YIWpP4ZdYgSh-AEDWdNo9PD6_c3HVMU5MimGrQTiyBwmfg1A51fA4ZNqxqBzKJOyKsBOAaohRdzrqyuz1qxBEdvBa0OBryb1WSfULcWuNsIQuU1l9zN9WD/s320/Haindl_AStones.jpg" width="174" /></a></div>
<br />
On the card in this deck we see a rainbow – often symbolic of the end
of the frustrating and difficult story times and the beginning of the
new light and clarity in the world – so things you have been frustrated
with over the last couple of month clear up and you now can start the
ball rolling again with your plans. There is a sense of spiritual overseeing in the eagle of the card –
you can see the bigger picture of things this month and start to aim for
what is really needed, small details, small adjustments can make huge
changes possible when you are precise about your actions and see them in
the context of the overall picture. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Setting the ball rolling on projects you have gained a lot of wisdom
and information about is also depicted here. It is time to act on your
vision of a better future! Do it now!<br />
<br />
<i>From what will I
need protection on this journey? </i><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhimUtr6qIRRsrXyZpOGzWsPTJoZmLdVSAoMfh76RM_zKER5p4BYyuGcGFhOD2ti6qi2nVl9G8HoY9H2fKd5-GCwghluQfyMAFdcHaQL9LASnVLL7g-pEjbdoHcI7uVEgaSLJyg_tl6cOWx/s1600/Haindl_8Swords.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="197" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhimUtr6qIRRsrXyZpOGzWsPTJoZmLdVSAoMfh76RM_zKER5p4BYyuGcGFhOD2ti6qi2nVl9G8HoY9H2fKd5-GCwghluQfyMAFdcHaQL9LASnVLL7g-pEjbdoHcI7uVEgaSLJyg_tl6cOWx/s320/Haindl_8Swords.jpg" width="174" /></a></div>
There are others in the mix who simply believe that you should not be able to do it YOUR way, but need to "follow the rules." Be willing to make the rigorous effort that is being called for now.
Perform wholeheartedly, with good faith and hopefulness. As such, you'll
forestall bickering and criticism, prevail against negative forces and
overcome the demons of doubt and resistance. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

will guide and protect me? </i><br />

<br />
No matter what your past patterns have been, it is fully possible to place yourself solidly on the road toward the future. Not only can you get a clear sense of the proper path,
but you will also have enough instructions to be self-directing.
Necessary skills and resources are available to you, and the time is
right for you to act. Once you get started, you may be surprised how
easy it can feel, but don't be seduced by that feeling. There will be
comfortable stretches of the road and there will be distinctly
uncomfortable ones. Know that any form of motion is better than no
motion.<br />

Stay focused and resolute, for you are about to reach your objective. The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.
<br />
The Ace of Swords in this position advises you to be
steady--you are about to reach your objective. There may be no need to
hesitate. Just concentrate on making your impact. This could be your
moment. The arrow is pointed straight at the target. Your eye is keen,
your grip is firm. Let that arrow fly! If you set aside distractions and
hit your mark, you will be rewarded with insight and clarity.<br />
<br />

<br />
Aeon emphasizes the
theme of renewal for the whole planet. When we think of the card in
readings we see that this can apply to an individual as well. The card
of Aeon is a powerful one. It tells you that this is a time of change.
The person who receives Aeon becomes "reborn" into a new situation. This
may involve a real change in circumstances--a new job, a move to a new
home, a new relationship. Sometimes, the new situation is psychological,
a new way of looking at life in which everything becomes fresh.<br />

Identify and acquire the ingredients that will most help you complete your mission and leave the rest behind. The card suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible. The Alchemy (Temperance) card advises you to identify and seek the

*******************<br />
<br />
Our Wrangler for this year's Yule Blog Hop, Ania Marczyk, has reminded us that, no matter what Festival Of Light we individually celebrate at this time of the year, it is a time of celebration of what has come to pass in our lives, and anticipation of what may be yet to come. So we will be drawing cards that represent what has come to pass for us in the preceding year which is now ending; this, we will contemplate and attempt to understand. Because we will also look into the future and see what may be coming to pass, and, standing on the foundation of what has already come, looking and thinking about how we may move forward, we will be focusing on what we wish the coming year to bring. And, no matter what we discover, we will be able to make it work in some way over the coming year. <br />
<br />
<b>The Past:</b> This draw is based on three cards, drawn numerologically, one at a time. The first one represents the age we achieved in this year. My age became 70, so I am using the entire shuffled deck of 72 cards, and drawing card number 70, to represent the overarching energy of the past year as it affects me. And the card I drew is: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBocwW7fkP9-PtBwC-jfX1CloMS-NqEpcVATm1XL6qXp_dS4tzoMKnD_0YVwv9yy-Ip3IIsjwgOiVKuR-OXvgM00xpX2ZB3EnhYO4kTWapTddNPQShkauVkI3E1kaEDwZAvIoesZT-p4qk/s1600/Haindl_Son+of+Stones.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="197" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBocwW7fkP9-PtBwC-jfX1CloMS-NqEpcVATm1XL6qXp_dS4tzoMKnD_0YVwv9yy-Ip3IIsjwgOiVKuR-OXvgM00xpX2ZB3EnhYO4kTWapTddNPQShkauVkI3E1kaEDwZAvIoesZT-p4qk/s320/Haindl_Son+of+Stones.jpg" width="174" /></a></div>
Chief Seattle is not a myth or a legend, but a person. Chief of the
Duwamish tribe in now-Washington State, Seattle tried to make peace with
white settlers who sought to move his people from the land they
inhabited. Seattle is most famous for having spoken passionately and
powerfully on native and environmental rights, though his words are now
forgotten and lost. Haindl draws him with a leaping Orca, a symbol of
the life sustaining food and spirituality of Seattle's tribe. Like the
indigenous people of North America, the Orca is now endangered. Seattle
is seen with a lightning bolt striking a feather in his hair- which
is not a feature of the Duwamish people's garb, but represents the fact, as Rachel Pollack
points out in her book on the Haindl, that "Seattle did not speak only for his own nation" There is a challenge to this
card- a challenge to learn and to grow and connect to forgotten ways.
Not to appropriate and transform them, but to learn as much as we can
about them. My past year, of doing readings for many people, some of whom had no experience with, and "do not believe in" divination, exemplifies the concept of doing what one needs to do in order to understand people and situations that one does not know personally, and figuring out what needs to be done to keep things moving forward in a positive manner. The Tarot is reminding me that this was the overarching energy of my entire year, and that I need to bring that wisdom into my new year to continue to grow.<br />
<br />
The second card, numerologically, is the number of this day of this year--the Winter Solstice in 2017. That number is a 7, which represents building on a foundation, and is our reminder that nothing we have experienced in this past year is exactly what we think it is. Seven is the "seeker" trying to discover the hidden meaning of life's events. And so--what is the focus of those things?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitz0zuVqreRLbqv9W3JRBp2r6N8cxUfmVUcAHutg8s-gGdSULvrTNH4V70ZHM_h54iir28nOW-zwked_wXMI3eKZ_2SrDoW_2y8CGfthKCvvCjAwhjRlYZkC9nDfANY-68_KD41xvla99D/s1600/Haindl_2Stones.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="197" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitz0zuVqreRLbqv9W3JRBp2r6N8cxUfmVUcAHutg8s-gGdSULvrTNH4V70ZHM_h54iir28nOW-zwked_wXMI3eKZ_2SrDoW_2y8CGfthKCvvCjAwhjRlYZkC9nDfANY-68_KD41xvla99D/s320/Haindl_2Stones.jpg" width="174" /></a></div>
The Two of Stones represents balance and harmony, both within the Self and in interactions with the outside world. The past may have been hard to deal with in its actual events, but it is for us to decide what those events can help us achieve of balance and harmony as we have attempted to deal with them. That is the foundation of the future year that we will carry with us.<br />
<br />
And the third card of the past year is numerologically represented by adding the age we achieved to the year itself, not to some particular day. So, for me, this is 2017 + 70, which equates to 8. And this represents the focus of what we need to understand in order to walk with confidence into the next year. 8 represents building on a foundation and discovering the reason behind the event. And we chose this card: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEFTRfgDKNC1Wez9gqxJM1NqQUZR8zoXW2RFTHPHi7ErcDuMixckujlz2nT_3XF1V7hF8BbZ_0jDLRZCXiplHKCq0fPaHgADuVCvv43NZJ0WtJcjKnhPM5jnq5_Em4cIlNJNID63OUcwWw/s1600/Haindl_Strength.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="197" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEFTRfgDKNC1Wez9gqxJM1NqQUZR8zoXW2RFTHPHi7ErcDuMixckujlz2nT_3XF1V7hF8BbZ_0jDLRZCXiplHKCq0fPaHgADuVCvv43NZJ0WtJcjKnhPM5jnq5_Em4cIlNJNID63OUcwWw/s320/Haindl_Strength.jpg" width="174" /></a></div>
which is a clear message that the harmony and balance we wish to achieve in the future will be, as it was in the past, achieved only by personal internal Strength, of purpose, of character, and of will.<br />
<br />
And so--what will the future hold? Let's find out. For the final three cards of this reading, I simply drew the three cards representing the date of next year's birthday, next year's solstice, and a random number discovered by a throw of the dice. And these cards were drawn all in the same cycle; for me, it was the 9th card, the 8th card, and my random number, the 11th card. And we simply, in my spiritual path, align these three cards with Body, Mind, and Spirit, where we will experience and understand the future. And we have:<br />

<br />
Osiris reminds us that we must look more deeply than simply regarding what we see, and look within for its deeper meaning. The Star is our reminder that, no matter what happens, we are to connect it with our High Self, with our sacred journey and our internal purpose. And the 7 of Cups speaks of making certain we don't decide too quickly on the meaning of future events, but analyze them looking at all three Realms, Body, Mind, and Spirit, to recognize what they truly mean to us. <br />
<br />
And so--there you are. Welcome to your Future!<br />

<br />
<br />
Welcome to the Tarot Blog Hop celebrating Mabon/Harvest Home 2017. Our wonderful Wrangler, Kiss Boglárka, and her co-Wrangler, Jay Cassels, have come up with a topic that is right up my alley and amazingly pertinent to this festival. Here's an overview:<br />
<br />
"At Mabon, we can enjoy the harvest of what we have sown, giving thanks
for what we have – and profiting of it as much as we can, also,
profiting of what Nature gives us. If we just think of how much sunshine
has nurtured and grown our harvest into what it is, and yes, we can
benefit from all that vital power and energy of the sunshine if we
prepare and eat food with love and respect – and this sunshine will
literally turn into Light in us. And do not forget, Light becomes a
blessing in those who share it with others" And therefore, to celebrate the Harvest of Light, we were invited to share a card or cards from the deck which we considered to be a representative of the bounty of the harvest, and suggest a recipe that Being would cook, and a sacred way it might be done, so that the bounty of life and the celebration of Light could be shared. And so, here's my suggestion:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSL6nSO-j-bLvdJ3y7B8im2TEG7zWCisoRPkqKtYZKBS-EGNyIWoN_fp1Myv3iDnuQRnWTztB5PfhaOp_CzqZteFVCOXBc-BT-ahdcSk2Tw4DbyaRp-8vo2BfDr5w4CwaCJPl_WtOrlcO-/s1600/Haindl_Daughter+of+Cups.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="197" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSL6nSO-j-bLvdJ3y7B8im2TEG7zWCisoRPkqKtYZKBS-EGNyIWoN_fp1Myv3iDnuQRnWTztB5PfhaOp_CzqZteFVCOXBc-BT-ahdcSk2Tw4DbyaRp-8vo2BfDr5w4CwaCJPl_WtOrlcO-/s320/Haindl_Daughter+of+Cups.jpg" width="174" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSL6nSO-j-bLvdJ3y7B8im2TEG7zWCisoRPkqKtYZKBS-EGNyIWoN_fp1Myv3iDnuQRnWTztB5PfhaOp_CzqZteFVCOXBc-BT-ahdcSk2Tw4DbyaRp-8vo2BfDr5w4CwaCJPl_WtOrlcO-/s1600/Haindl_Daughter+of+Cups.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7PD-yFJDhzdYbc6Pfvwz3smQQcLg2ulhtgwPWqGSzVDoTQu0AXLakf0gbiQ2-FOi_2ZnT9lukvlP9dC_K9f7XZyqzfeuyrROIZMFhiVbrx5M8Pqh-HYOH3ckiyPbYXXtNA2ybb2o_UnzM/s1600/Haindl_Son+of+Cups.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>My primary Goddess-Mother is Brighid of the Celts, and She is the Daughter of Cups in my primary Tarot deck, the Haindl Tarot. And when I think of her symbolism, I think of the Three Fires of Brighid, Fire in the Head, Fire in the Heart, Fire in the Hands, which are explained as Knowledge, Passion, and Creative Ability. So--fire for cooking, and fire for thinking and fire of caring and sharing...we're going to make an Irish dish that represents the bounty of the Waters, the Land, and the Sky, the three Realms or the three elemental energies of the Celts. So--Let's start with an appetizer of Smoked Salmon and make a main dish of Roast Goose, served with Colcannon, and serve it with a lovely bottle of Irish Whiskey and some Irish Coffee to finish. In order to prepare the meal in a sacred and thankful way, one does the cooking in a kitchen where candles burn and an herbal incense burns, and one makes offering to the Gods of all the finished foods on one's sacred offering plate, and toasts Them with Irish Coffee. <br />
<br />
And here's the recipe for that Colcannon, which combines Land and Sea in some amazing ways and speaks to the soul of Irish cooking:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3 cups Irish potatoes, new ones with the skin on<br />
1 cup chopped cabbage<br />
1 cluster of green onions, chopped<br />
1 quarter pound of bacon<br />
Butter<br />
Sour cream<br />
Irish whiskey<br />
<br />
Cook the new potatoes, with skins on, in a pot of water which just covers them, along with the chopped cabbage and green onions. While they are cooking, let the bacon cook to a light brown. When the potatoes are done, mash them in a bowl with about one stick of soft butter, a half-cup of Irish whiskey, and a cup of sour cream. Add the chopped bacon, stir thoroughly, and place on very low heat for 30 minutes to mix the flavors. Serve with your roast goose and enjoy your smoked salmon as a side dish/appetizer, and you eat and honor the return of light, the three realms, and the Gods who have given us the gift of life, food, and harvest home. Blessings of the Light to you!<br />

<br />
I use my Haindl Tarot, my Celtic Ogham Staves, and my self-created Faery-Fire Oracle in tandem with one another when I do my work as a House Reader at Crone's Hollow. And I have discovered, from the Spirits of the Speakers (my term for the inner wraith that provides the information) that there is a very clear path to showing honor and respect for these spiritual gifts, and that I must not fail to reverence what is of spirit...soooo...here's how we do that.<br />
<br />
1) Each and every time I set up for my shift of readings, each and every day, when the cards are laid out, there is a blessing I do beginning with sprinkling sacred scent for purification, then incense for charging, then the calling in of my Deities and the Wraith. I then smudge the entire area to focus the energy and clear out unwanted distractions.<br />
<br />
2) Before I take my first client, I draw one card for my Self to let me know what energy to concentrate on this day, and one other card for my Self to let me know what to beware of, avoid, or watch out for. This focuses my energy for the day. <br />
<br />
3) I do not permit the client to tell me an exact question. I ask that they will think deeply about the things they want to know, silently within themselves, and then I tell them what question each set of cards will answer, beginning with the first sett which tells the client "What do I need to KNOW about this circumstance that I do not now know?" and goes on from there with a new question for each individual draw. In this way, I respect the cards by not permitting my own inner thoughts and feelings about their question or situation influence my interpretation--instead, I don't know enough to have a personal opinion, so when I do the interpretation, it is the cards that are speaking, not my Self.<br />
<br />
4) I do not permit any money to change hands until the reading is done, and I request that the client make an offering in my cash bowl to Fortuna in thanksgiving--not a tip, it is just where I ask them to place the money. I want it clear to them that I am only an interpreter and a guide, not the source of their response.<br />
<br />
5) After each client leaves, I once again cleanse and charge the space before I take the next client. No leftover energy is present to influence the next draw. Each client begins in a clear and sacred space. <br />
<br />
It has been very very interesting for me to focus on this work and explain to myself and to you, my readers, how I choose to honor the cards. May we all give joy and thanks for what we are permitted to do, and may we all continue to do it. Walk in beauty!!<br />

<br />
This Hop celebrates the contest between the Oak King, Cernunnos, the
Green Man, who is God of the Waxing Year and fertilizes the land with
plants and babies in women's wombs, etc., and his “Tanist”, or chosen
replacement, Lugh, the Holly King, or Red God, who brings the Harvest
and creates the Waning Year by means of blood sacrifice of animals so
there will be meat, reaping the grain and vegetables and plants, and
otherwise clearing the fertile ground and taking the results of the
Green Man's cycle of fertility, making it the Red God's cycle of
harvesting.
It is important in the understanding of this Lore to realize that the
two Deities here represented are actually seen as one God, two Faces of
the same Being, two aspects of life, and actually perform the combat
between Oak and Holly as a necessary adaptation of their own Being, with
the full understanding of the necessity of both a waxing and a waning
year, planting and harvesting, and the joy of creation connected with
the necessity of using that creation.
And so, my friends, as the Oak King and the Holly King are two aspects
of the same being, so we will use our Tarot cards to explore and explain
the duality of our own natures. Who, indeed, is your “other Self”, your
“Tanist”? How is it that you are, actually, of “two minds”? And how does that affect your life?<br />
<br />
Of My Waxing Mind--- My usual Significator in the deck I use most often,
the Haindl Tarot, is the Daughter of Cups, my primary Goddess, Brighid of the Three Fires: <br />
<br />

She represents the three aspects of living that I invoke most often in my day-to-day working of my own life, and my assistance through readings to others--these aspects are Poesy, Smithcraft, and Healing, also known as Fire in the Head, Fire in the Hands, Fire in the Heart. The Triple Fires of Brigid resonate with me in my own activities and in my knowledge of the triplicity of all actions in life--first you know and learn, then you care and focus, and then you decide what to do. And so this card represents to me all the aspects of "planting the seeds" of each and every action I intend, and letting me know what, and why, and then how. <br />
*******<br />
Of My Waning Mind-- My "Other Half", my Tanist, the half of my Being that is not part of the focus and planning and preparation for seeding the land, is represented here by the Mother of Swords, Nut/Nuit, the Egyptian Goddess of the Shadowed Night. <br />

Nuit's energy is that of the night sky, the shadows that cloak all the light of day in darkness. She is that which represents the pause for reflection, the ceasing activity to contemplate the next step, the peace of sleep and the rest and reawakening that comes with Death. And yet--it is the darkness of Nuit that makes it possible for us to see the stars, gleaming one at a time through the endless cloak of darkness, each of them with its own light, name, and meaning---and that, my friends, is the energy of my Other Half, my Tanist. I never succeed at creating that which I wish to invoke without having to take into account all the other details that only present themselves when I believe my work is finished and I can now rest. Drawing away from the activity of Brighid's Flame makes it possible for me to contemplate my actions in the soft darkness of Nuit's silence and shadows....and in so doing, I always find something that I did not know was going to be there, something that is an intrinsic part of what has been created but that could never be noticed or recognized or put into play until I believed my works were done and I might rest. Nuit is the bringer of the darkness without which we would never be able to notice or manifest what is truly in the light. And she is always the other half of all I believe Brighid has guided me to do. <br />
******<br />
<br />
And so, to the directions and elements that influence, and are influenced by, my Waxing and Waning Being. Mind, Will, Action, Intuition, and Spirit manifest for me with the following cards this time around:<br />
<br />
Mind/Air: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZzRCj6QFFsQ12JBjr0uMAy33Ga-MkcELP6OAZKtIc_L07Za4hEw7-8DeIafg9Bud8dfmSKOEdRn1spSMUyRLuZvyX0CXq3OJhW74suqa-Woa41XBEFtxVs-e9ynYHv29J7MQJKBcbghOI/s1600/Haindl_8Stones.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="197" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZzRCj6QFFsQ12JBjr0uMAy33Ga-MkcELP6OAZKtIc_L07Za4hEw7-8DeIafg9Bud8dfmSKOEdRn1spSMUyRLuZvyX0CXq3OJhW74suqa-Woa41XBEFtxVs-e9ynYHv29J7MQJKBcbghOI/s320/Haindl_8Stones.jpg" width="174" /></a></div>
The Eight of Stones, Knowledge, connected to Brighid's Fire in the Head as I study and immerse myself in new ideas, and to Nuit's silent shadows as I always realize that anything I learn usually leaves me with more questions than answers, so this one is never finished, just constantly mutating and going in a different direction.<br />
<br />
Will/Fire: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNR3Jzrpyv5h0g9Wlg1stduh_QftKGfXWCs39KF1vdB4oeemL4vjaEhYbUog-8MPrkIka29xJF1pIIBthkZXOcTUtSYxnx3_XOUdacZQjZob3_HLRbD-lVUo7QxpbVZDdh8a0pydnCtYsa/s1600/Haindl_Strength.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="197" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNR3Jzrpyv5h0g9Wlg1stduh_QftKGfXWCs39KF1vdB4oeemL4vjaEhYbUog-8MPrkIka29xJF1pIIBthkZXOcTUtSYxnx3_XOUdacZQjZob3_HLRbD-lVUo7QxpbVZDdh8a0pydnCtYsa/s320/Haindl_Strength.jpg" width="174" /></a></div>
The image on the card fits perfectly with my understanding of the two facets of my Will--it's not just "what do I Will" as Brighid's Fire in the Heart represents, but it is also, "But what do I Need To Do", which is not at all the same thing, as Nuit shows in the shadows that what I want might not be the right way to proceed. We have the Strength of Eve in the Garden, knowing she must defeat the Serpent, but unwilling to harm him or become evil as he was supposed to be. So for this one--there are always more than two answers. <br />
<br />
Action/Earth: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUSDZWkp4CAlJe9AXCLUoy09DmKPFPiRCV17uzso_pDD31Q_hl-WZsnkHQpcBFtLtU74F2xi06w2N4NspvMG6bUBOUpwSDC2ogJiCcqHFlmMBlGu_5XH_mnhECm28X4WjDRssi4WQ10wNY/s1600/Haindl_Devil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="197" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUSDZWkp4CAlJe9AXCLUoy09DmKPFPiRCV17uzso_pDD31Q_hl-WZsnkHQpcBFtLtU74F2xi06w2N4NspvMG6bUBOUpwSDC2ogJiCcqHFlmMBlGu_5XH_mnhECm28X4WjDRssi4WQ10wNY/s320/Haindl_Devil.jpg" width="174" /></a></div>
No surprises here, because the "Devil", whose name in Hebrew was "Ha-Shatan", is literally "The Obstacle" and represents all the many boulders, corners, dead ends and detours in the road we try to map for ourselves. Brighid's Flame has given me "Fire In The Hands", as in, "You need to and want to do THIS", but Nuit's starlight and darkening shadows will always remind me that nothing is that simple and nothing goes the way you want it to the first time....So--I expect the obstacles, and if I can, I make them part of the journey. But I keep going....<br />
<br />
Intuition/Water<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh51I6SW9tqChtEuIjPJxWxOtT4bxgXKSNyxHsjZReG6zx5RNdf_us8T7E_4aeNLo1i60u4ug8hyna_hPfWTDcCLztLhyphenhyphenDZBJ5VNxoEp1Ba9T3qWgQv8MW8DLtOrPi2DSSZgJGrZeL6Eq4u/s1600/Haindl_7Wands.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="197" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh51I6SW9tqChtEuIjPJxWxOtT4bxgXKSNyxHsjZReG6zx5RNdf_us8T7E_4aeNLo1i60u4ug8hyna_hPfWTDcCLztLhyphenhyphenDZBJ5VNxoEp1Ba9T3qWgQv8MW8DLtOrPi2DSSZgJGrZeL6Eq4u/s320/Haindl_7Wands.jpg" width="174" /></a></div>
<br />
Not at all strange to me that the card I drew for Water is a Fire card--because, for me, Courage is as much intuitive knowledge as it is the bravery to act in a certain way. I completely identify Fire with Water and vice-versa, because as far as my own life goes, what I wish and desire is always moderated by my inner voice whispering of emotion and intuition. Here my two Goddesses work in harmony, as Brighid inspires me with passion and intent, and Nuit shows me the hidden mysteries of what I expect to accomplish and how much more convoluted is my Will than I am consciously aware. <br />
<br />
Wisdom/Spirit<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj_CFukKLn8dniekTF6AkdtmOfhOgOhMFLQ6Kc8jxRXxtg_vuXz8e8KV5wrSNH4A-v-Cxyssak4YSMYLGlxj-yzgYWhzVNZW_Z7YTXZaMWFzDEN9M93Vg3tap6Q-MhHmDV6ZlC-hBWQoAH/s1600/Haindl_Moon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="132" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj_CFukKLn8dniekTF6AkdtmOfhOgOhMFLQ6Kc8jxRXxtg_vuXz8e8KV5wrSNH4A-v-Cxyssak4YSMYLGlxj-yzgYWhzVNZW_Z7YTXZaMWFzDEN9M93Vg3tap6Q-MhHmDV6ZlC-hBWQoAH/s1600/Haindl_Moon.jpg" /></a></div>
And here we have a final result of all my seeding, sowing, thinking, harvesting, and doing--simply put, the concept of constant and repeated change, the knowledge that nothing remains the same and nothing is as simple as it looks, and the awareness that I will never reach the end of the journey, just a different phase thereof. And for me, knowing the journey is the destination IS Wisdom. And I do keep learning that, from all the aspects of my Two Beings. <br />
<br />
Many Litha blessings to you all, and may your own journey, planting and harvest, be productive and rewarding. Blessed Be!<br />
