CARD OF THE WEEK: January 23-27, 2023

 

 Seeker of Cups

 World Spirit Tarot

by Madame Onca O'Leary, Lauren O'Leary,

and Jessica Godino

 

January 23-27, 2023: Some Tarot images draw you right into the energy of a moment, and here's a lovely example. The World Spirit Tarot's Seeker of Cups (Knight of Cups) and his steed pause in their waterborne journey to gaze at a gold chalice floating just above their heads. And, suddenly--whew!--this song came to mind!

Rhiannon Giddens sings Sister Rosetta Tharpe's "Up Above My Head"

 

Tarot's knights--or seekers, as conceived here by the O'Leary-Godino team--are all about focused, dedicated action. And Cups symbolize the flow of emotion and creativity.

Our seeker/knight lifts his arms in adoration and receptivity. He and his stallion are ready and eager to see a precious gift safely to its destination and recipient.

This week, consider what you most love, what you hold in highest value. What do you wish to bring forth in this world or pass along to others? How can you prepare to fulfill your most sacred commitments?

The Seeker of Cups' sensitive and loyal heart leads the way in all things. This card asks you to listen deeply and never betray your heart.

CARD OF THE WEEK: September 26-30, 2022

 

Eight of Pentacles

World Spirit Tarot

by Madame Onca O'Leary, Lauren O'Leary, and Jessica Godino

September 26-30, 2022: Nothing flashy here, necessarily, this week. Just skillful, reliable labor. But the skill is key, no matter what the specific method or goal may be. Come with it. Give your best effort, and leave nothing to chance.

Mind your potential to instruct and inspire others in their own work. That's another reason why your care will be so significant this week--your influence on others, what they value, and how they operate. This is a time in which mentorship shines and makes a difference.

Our card also reminds us that working with Tarot requires skill and care, and both require time. One needs sufficient time and devoted attention to build skill. One needs sufficient time and devoted attention to do any work with care. Respect that time.

CARD OF THE WEEKEND: July 23-24, 2022

 

Nine of Cups

World Spirit Tarot

by Madame Onca O'Leary, Lauren O'Leary, and Jessica Godino

July 23-24, 2022:  Let's take a moment with our generous host who, looking out from the Nine of Cups, has quite an array of goblets to offer, each one distinct in design. Because our host has so much stored up, he's in a good position to share, and you can tell, just by looking at him, that he's proud to share his very best with you. This figure of abundance and satisfaction bids you treat yourself to everything of value. As always, Tarot counsels to choose wisely and don't overdo.

Since you have a weekend before you, you might try an active meditation in which you journey to this very scenario, meet the host, and have a chance to gaze into each of these intriguing goblets. What libation does each one hold? (BTW, do not assume that these potions are alcoholic in nature. Or even liquid.)  Which will you choose to consume and why? And then what?

CARD OF THE DAY: March 9, 2022

 

 Seeker of Pentacles

World Spirit Tarot

by Madame Onca O'Leary, Lauren O'Leary, and Jessica Godino

 

March 9, 2022: The Seeker of Pentacles and his steed are always a hearty pair, taking their time as they wend their way towards an ultimate destination. I like the warm, earthy colors chosen for them in World Spirit Tarot and the hints of autumn harvest.

The Seeker--this would be a Knight in a more traditional Tarot deck--holds a pentacle aloft and gazes at it with pride and reverence. It is worth that careful attention and devotion.

Are you the Seeker/Knight today? Or are you the potential recipient of this traveler's precious gift, whatever it might turn out to be?

Don't worry if manifestation of hoped-for/worked-for things take a little longer than you might prefer. They'll arrive or resolve in due time, and the extra time might yield something even better than what you've dreamed.

CARD OF THE DAY: February 10, 2022

 

Ace of Pentacles

from World Spirit Tarot

by Madame Onca O'Leary, Lauren O'Leary, and Jessica Godino

 

 

February 10, 2022: Sometimes if a card's aesthetics fail to resonate with me, I might ignore most of it and zoom in on one or more particular details that catch my eye or seem strongly relevant to the querent or question.

 

In the World Spirit Tarot's Ace of Pentacles, I am fascinated by the alignment of Sun and Moon in its backdrop. (You might enjoy this blog post from La Fuente Imports.) With the influence of both of these very different cosmic bodies, a tangible bit of earthly matter (the pentacle) has been formed, and so begins something new in the world of 3D, time-based existence.

 

As a Card of the Day, it can also remind you to give time time and take one practical step after another. Don't rush. Don't get ahead of yourself. But do at least one action to prepare the way for all the important steps that will follow.

 

When you feel overwhelmed, break things down into small components, order them, and give due attention to each in turn. Respect--even enjoy--the process.

Step by step, bit by bit, something is shaping up for you!

CARD OF THE DAY: January 14, 2022

 

Two of Swords

from World Spirit Tarot

by Madame Onca O'Leary, Lauren O'Leary, and Jessica Godino

 

January 14, 2022: My Barbados-born dad was a smart guy--and a pretty open-minded one. He taught me some of the best lessons in my young life. One was this: "You have to learn the rules so you can break them."

I remember this often when I think of the basic ingredients that went into my headfirst dive into writing from childhood. It applies to my work with Tarot, too. I don't claim to know everything--for one thing, I am far from a learned Tarot historian--but I do respect the basic structure of the art, and I do enjoy having its basics and traditions close to hand when needed.

Today's card--Two of Swords--comes from World Spirit Tarot. It's a knockout. Such a clear, strong, dynamic image! Not all of the World Spirit images are great; in fact, a lot are murky, visually and in other ways. But this one really captures a sense of being imperiled by conflicting thoughts and impulses within oneself.

What it might not do, though--with its so specific imagery, unlike, say, a more abstract pip--is speak to your facing an external conflict like a disagreement with a co-worker, an argument with a relative, a tough practical choice that goes against your needs or values. Hey, even a literal fistfight!

That's when it helps to be able to know and remember some basic ideas and details that might not be visually represented in the style of the particular Tarot or oracle card you've drawn.

Basically (no pun), learn as much about the cards as you can in whatever way you can--and there are many. In a future post--perhaps the one for this coming weekend--I'll write about how meditating with any card can enrich your understanding of it.

For today, consider what this card might suggest for the need to get out of your own way. How are your own thoughts, ideas, and ways of communicating holding you back or tripping you up? How can you open up your awareness and stop fighting yourself?
