Magickal Day: Tarot and "secret sauce" for the Warrior

Today's Magickal Day is powered by the Five of Swords.

Coming to the end of a fierce struggle gives you an opportunity to catch your breath, make peace with your losses, adjust to your changes and re-evaluate the tools and methods with which you approach your challenges. Do these tools and methods still serve you well? Or is it time to let them go and to discover and adopt better strategies?

(Interestingly, today is the day that U.S. forces are being withdrawn from Iraqi cities.)

Do not give in to sadness and frustration. Care for yourself and your needs today and use any available quiet time to tune into the archetype of the Spiritual Warrior.

The debut of Magickal Day!

Magickal Day replaces my Audio Card of the Day and will be a text-only (for now) guide to your day, utilizing Tarot plus my new "secret sauce." Let me assure you that that secret sauce is hot!

I hope you'll enjoy Magickal Day and, if you, you'll send your comments!

June 29, 2009: Today's Magickal Day is powered by the Three of Hearts/Cups.

Explore creative collaboration, especially among a small group of friends.

Be sure that your speech, in any social circle, is positive and productive. It could easily slip into gossip and negativity and end up being "creative" of negativity, if you catch my drift. Today, you have tremendous power to magnetize and increase energy and whatever you visualize. So, you want to keep things on the positive tip.

Make it a good one!

Blessings,
Eva :-)

Happy Pride Day!

With many thanks to you!

Dear friends of hummingwitch,

Due to increased monthly fees for bandwidth, I'll have to discontinue the Audio Card of the Day clips feature on hummingwitch blog. I'm gratified that so many of you found these recordings enjoyable and helpful, and I hope you'll continue to engage with my work in other ways. This is a transitional time, and I am delving into new areas. Stay tuned and, as always, thanks so much for the kind words and support you've offered!

Happy Solstice!

Wishing everyone a grand Summer Solstice, and thanks, once again, for your friendship and suppport of this blog!

Bright blessings,
