Four of Pentacles, Day Five:

Pentacles + Coins + Earth + Physicality

Cards that belong to the Coins suit relate to home, health, money, basic survival, prosperity, accomplishments and the energies of greed.

The element represented here is Earth and all that is associated with it that is solid, stable and reliable.The Story related by the coins cards could be a new job or a physical endeavor.

The Season is WINTER, the time is Midnight and the direction is NORTH.

This card puts the spotlight on possessiveness and reveals the way you relate to your possessions. Do you take good care of them? Are you willing to share them?This card is about getting more or having more than you truly need. Which of course is fine in times of plenty, it is also an important notice to NOT treat people as possessions.
The number 4 also indicates BALANCE for FOUR is a quartet, a fourfold path to freedom.

I find this card interesting given the new movements within my career over the past few days. Also the FOUR here along with the pentacles. I do feel secure right now and am thinking of ways to hold $$ back to plan ahead and hermit away so to speak. Maybe this card is telling me...enjoy it...breathe easy...you will be fine. I will meditate and think further on what this card is trying to tell me.

Merry Meet:

Of all the strangest things....a few Wiccans'/Eclectics have crossed my path as of late. Of course here in this small Christian town its rare. Let alone to meet Three that would recognize my pentacle for what it is and comment on it while wearing theirs just as proudly. I must say it was wonderful. To smile at someone who is just as open minded as myself and kind about my choice of beliefs and on a similar path as I am. I would like to think of it as a gift from The wonderful Goddess that encompasses and surrounds us all.

Even I go thru this journey once in awhile feeling all alone, trying to feed that hunger of knowledge and self empowerment it can be difficult at times. Then not once, not twice but three times this week before the lovely silvery full moon is at her most bountiful moment she guided three to stop and talk with me a moment along my Solitary journey. It made me smile and realize how one moment, one glance, one small acknowledgement can move your heart and bring some hope and joy. I wish others no matter their beliefs, their knowledge, their quest to get that small nudge in the right direction or that small push to know that they have the passion to go forward into whatever dark abyss and move even one ounce in the direction they deem necessary. To all the fellow light bringers and my three timely comrades "Merry Meet and safe passage along your quest/journey this lovely night". You are not alone and thank you for reminding that I am not either.

Five of wands

Day Four: Drew Five of Wands

This card represents CHALLENGE

Wands + Fire + Passion

Again this suit is more likely to be geared towards areas of your life that are touched by passion, intuition, willpower, action the yang principle, love & strength, truth and justice. Any area that relates to FIRE. You might see it relating to your job, career along with relationships, season here is summer, time of high noon (like the gunslingers of the old west) and direction North...(like going up) and usually pertains to GUT instinct.

This card brings with it notions of healthy competition, constructive criticisim and enjoyable debate. It invites me to test my power, will and skil in competition with others. Cooperation here is the key. Expand myself to accomodate others and view past what I want or wish or am thinking to view from their points of view. No right or wrong answer here....just a chance to move forward in ANY direction I choose.

I find this card interesting....not only is it a wand...which means alot to me because of how my Career is progressing and changing the dynamics now in front of me as we speak, but because of some of the personal strife I am having at the moment within my personal relationships...my significant other...my daughter....my close friend.

It truly is a sign...I will watch..wait and get ready to debate. But of course all the while...listening to the other side as well.

Bring it on! I am ready....well as ready as I will ever be! LOL

Day 3.. Nine of Pentacles

Day Three:

Pentacle suit:coins....Earth...Physicality

These cards belonging to the Coins relate to Home, health, money, basic survival, prosperity, accomplishments. The element here is Earth which is associated with all that is solid, stable and reliable. These cards could repesent a new job, or a physical endeavour. The season is winter, the time is midnight and the direction is NORTH.

The Nine of pentacles represents the rewards of choices and work. It can also be taken as an instruction to make sound choices, such as saving regularly and living modestly so that you can live free from financial worries and enjoy your retirement.
what this means to me:

I just got recognized in my place of work for my talents, skill and hard work. Nine is my LUCKY number and the woman on the card is enjoying her fruits of her labor and skills. She is enjoying reaping her benefits and admiring her hard work. I am on the right path and I am going where I am meant to go. This hasn't been an easy road for me and its been alot of hard work....but in the end it will be worth the effort. Yay! Great card I pulled today and very appropriate the cards and the interpretation are going well together...hand in hand. I love my Deck.
Brightest Blessings:)o(

Close to another lovely full moon...

Well I am close to yet another full moon. I can't wait...I am sure its one of the reasons I feel my energy revamping and my instincts like they are rolling forward with so much power and self confidence.

I lit a few sticks of incense today to enhance the air in my home and give a small token of thanks thru the air to the Goddess. My kitchen was full of so many wonderful aromas...from Coffee that I was brewing, to the Cheesy Cassarole that was in my oven bubbling wildly, to the Butt Naked incense as it wafted around the hearth of my home smelling the aromas as they brought forth the elements around me it allowed so many ideas and thoughts into my lovely, witchy head.

Right here...at this phase of the moon and her lunar powers...I feel charged...ready to leap into anything while my tarot cards are laying smack in front of me leading the way. For once in a LONG LONG time I feel like I am really making ground on this path of mine and the landscape is finally changing and my destination is creeping a little closer on this spiritual journey of mine.

I read a quote yesterday from a book that a dear friend bought me on one of our many excursions to the used book/spiritual/new age section at Hastings:

The book...The Giant Book of Card Divination (I love it) by Jeanne Ruland

and I quote:

"Whenever you are sad, disheartened or discouraged, you will find a safe cure in doing something Magick" by Douglas Monroe

This made me smile and spoke volumes in how I was feeling.

There are those times...when what you hear or what you read speaks to your soul this was one of those times for me it was as if while reading it...I felt a CLICK go off and it rang true to me.

So, while sitting here...brewing, bubbling in my cauldron and igniting the air around me with wonderful, igniting smells waiting on the lunar possiblities within myself to be shining all around my nocturnal world as the Goddess lights up the darkest aspects within myself with her shining silver lights...I will be meditating, grounding and getting ready for the journey to delve deeper...and yet reveal more knowledge that I have to grasp. For Knowledge is Power...

I am off...to dust off my altar and prepare to cleanse and bless more items for future use. May the Goddess bless you along your journey as well. Brightest Blessings.

Day 2: Three of Wands....

The weight of the two now ventures outward in exploration. Whether its my relationship, career or my personal power that is in question.The 3 of wands generally means that I must keep to my quest....follow my path.There is more out there to be found.Explore the great unknown, reach beyond my present boundaries and look for clues.My higher power will illuminate the signposts.

Wands tend to indicate: Fire & Passion
These areas tend to be Passion, willpower, intuition, action and love, strength or could releate to job or career....these things that generally require a PERSONAL boost if you will.

I am excited now...my second day (the twos here) represented by the 3 of wands. Hmmmmm....I am on the right path, but of course that i already knew. This search for a higher understanding of my cards and a better connection with them for myself. Is being represented here...this is the right thing for me to do for myself right now. Besides...I LOVE THREES!

I will think on this all day today and watch and learn. Brightest Blessings to each of you. ^^

My new found STRENGTH...

I have been wrestling with so much within myself lately. I have been overwhelmed and simply trying to avoid what has been lacking in my life, spiritually, emotionally, socially. I realized this past week....I need a connection within myself again. Simply stating my thanks to the Goddess and muttering as I hurridly streak past my family a few simple items...it isn't enough. It hasn't been enough. So, after some meditation and a FEW days of laying around....oozing my negativity out thru my snoring...LOL I have realized I need to get back to my tarot.

So today, I have started my Daily Tarot card pull: Strength

How interesting that on this new adventure that through all of my personal battles lately. I pull the Strength card. It means so much to me. I will have all day to interpret, linger, study and formulate its exact meaning.

However, I just pulled up a few extra links for it...

This is just one of many. Its not that I agree or disagree I just found it interesting. I wish you all well and many blessings upon your journey.
