CARD OF THE WEEK: October 10-14, 2022

 

I am taking the time I need

Goddess on the Go cards

by Amy Sophia Marashinsky with art by Melissa Harris

October 10-14, 2022: Yes, pace yourself. Give yourself plenty of time, as needed, according to your own lights. How often do we hear this advice?

Let me offer a new way of looking at this familiar counsel.

What is time? Is it only that linear progression from a discrete past through to a perceived present and onto a hoped for (or dreaded) future?

Or is there more to it? Can we complicate our awareness of it? What kind of fabric is it made of? How is it textured? Shaped and reshaped? Can we move through its dimensions freely, examine time in a multitude of ways? Can we move in and out of it?

And if this expanded sense of time is real, as is our freedom of movement, then what are we capable of perceiving, understanding, doing?

When we say, "I'm taking the time I need," what else do we mean, or can we mean?

Have a good time meditating on these questions in your new week!

CARDS OF THE WEEKEND: May 7-8, 2022

 

I am choosing to see my challenges as my Highest Good.

I am a complete success.

I am in love with the adventure of life.

Goddess on the Go

by Amy Sophia Marashinsky with art by Melissa Harris

 

May 7-8, 2022: The humans in these three cards of affirmation from Goddess on the Go all appear to be holding on for dear life in the midst of dynamic natural forces. They're not afraid, though. All are here for the ride!

Some of you may have come to that place of willing mind and heart after dealing with the turbulence of Tarot's Tower card, our card of the outgoing week. So, let's look at each of these three Goddess cards in turn, and see how their messages could support your development in times of extraordinary change.

I am choosing to see my challenges as my Highest Good: Volatile weather blows up the atmosphere around you; you quickly grasp hold of the branch of a tree. Of course, trees themselves are often vulnerable in a windstorm, but you're doing the best you can with what you're able to reach in that moment so you won't be swept away!

Look around and find something that can protect, ground, and sustain you until the immediate conditions ease up. Amy Sophia Marashinsky's affirmation suggests that challenges can open the door to a better self, and I'm reminded of some exquisite wisdom from Zen teacher Zenju Earthlyn Manuel in a recent dharma talk: 

Trouble is transformation.

Trouble is deep initiation.

I am a complete success. A Ralph Waldo Emerson essay counsels the reader to "hitch your wagon to a star." I can't help but think of that expression as I look at this card. The person here has latched onto to a shooting star and, to use another old expression, "is really going places!" The star is already in motion in the right direction. So, choosing people, places, and things wisely and well and making the right connection(s) will make every difference in your outcome as the forces of change sweep staleness away. 

Looking at the affirmation itself, I would add that "success" will be one thing for one person, another thing for someone else. It's defined and appears in different forms according to an individual's values, aspirations, and strategies. Do not measure yourself against anyone else's desires and outcomes. Focus on bringing your own dreams to life in your own way. And, when they manifest, celebrate, 'cause you did that!

I am in love with the adventure of life. There you are, riding that swift horse with determination and joy as it streaks through the sky! You're making things happen, going after what you want. Instead of fearing change and feeling mastered by it, you're making change work for you. Exciting!

CARDS OF THE DAY: January 17, 2022

 

 

 

 

Cards from Goddess on the Go affirmation deck

 

by Amy Sophia Marashinsky with art by Melissa Harris

 

 

January 17, 2022: No matter our gender identity, we can all use a little Goddess energy at times, and Melissa Harris's attractive art for Amy Sophia Marashinsky's Goddess on the Go deck comes to our aid with 33 supportive affirmations.

 

Shuffle this tiny deck, draw a card at random for your day--or for the issue that's bedeviling you--and spend some time in meditation and writing about the ascribed affirmation. Here are a few more:

 

I am serving the highest good for all.

 

I am confident and centered.

 

I am in love with the adventure of life. 

You can even start with a regular draw of one Tarot card or a full Tarot layout and follow that by drawing a Goddess card that will suggest a positive path towards facing, embracing, and resolving anything that has turned up in your Tarot operation.

Marashinsky's cards are Lenormand-small. The deck is portable and easy to pull out and consult for a quick emotional/psychological/spiritual pick-me-up. Take a look at the three I've drawn for you today, and choose one you'd like to take to heart.

Goddess on the Go is only one of a number of decks that can provide easy, comforting entry into card divination, especially for daily consultation by beginners. They can also enhance your current Tarot practice--like having a BFF who looks over your shoulder at your Tarot layout and says:

"Hey, it will be be fine, 'cause you're awesome. You've got this!"
