CARD OF THE DAY: January 6, 2022

 

Arianrhod

from Goddesses Knowledge Cards

by Michael Babcock with art by Susan Seddon Boulet

 

January 6, 2022: With mystical artwork by the late Susan Seddon Boulet, Goddesses Knowledge Cards is one of the most beautiful, most soul-stirring oracle decks in our field. It is not a Tarot deck. Its cards interpret Goddess lore across the world's cultures--Lilith, Fortuna, Kuan Yin, Persephone, White Shell Woman, The Sphinx, and many more, 48 in total. These compact cards are smaller than standard Tarot or playing cards, larger than Lenormands, and almost--but not exactly--square. Respectfully shuffling them hand to hand--not riffling them, which I dislike in any case--is a breeze.

Today's card represents a triple moon goddess out of Welsh tradition--Arianrhod. Writer Michael Babcock identifies Her as the "high fruitful mother who turns the wheel of the heavens" and notes that She "watches over souls in a purgatory filled with beings awaiting rebirth."

The image inspires me to ask of it (and, thus, of you), "Who is ready? Who emerges now? Who steps out of the shadows into the world?"

All of this is still a mystery for you, perhaps, but you can take a moment today to set aside your everyday busy-ness and ask the Goddess.

CARD OF THE DAY: November 18, 2021

 

 Awakened Aphrodite

from Triple Goddess Tarot

by Isha Lerner with illustrations by Mara Friedman

 

November 18, 2021: Awakened Aphrodite gives you life!

The Life Force--within and in which you dwell--always has surprises for you. You find gifts within yourself that you did not previously recognize or understand, and you find mirrors of yourself in your environment. This lifts you and moves your forward.

This is the deep and the cosmic erotic of many variable forms and shapes--ever available, if you are perceptive and receptive.

How will you manifest this Awakened Aphodite today?

I'll end by drawing your attention to the Goddess' two pairs of arms and suggest that you:

• consider gesture as practice in your contemplation of the Life Force
  
• notice how it feels to gaze at a being who has two pairs of arms--heady and disorienting? Do you feel it in your own body? Do you find yourself shifting awareness from one pair of arms to the other so that the other appears to temporarily disappear for you?

Beginning tomorrow, we will shift to one or more new decks and see what surprises they hold! Enjoy your Thursday!

CARD OF THE DAY: November 17, 2021

 

 Ancestors

from Triple Goddess Tarot

by Isha Lerner with illustrations by Mara Friedman

 

November 17, 2021: Oh, my goodness, She tried it. She really did.

Following this morning's shuffle of the Triple Goddess deck, Flame of Surrender tried to piggyback onto another card--Ancestors. But Ancestors was the one to reach my fingertips first. 

So, with a knowing wink at this cheeky three-peat attempt by Flame of Surrender--who clearly seeks to continue guiding you deeper into the autumnal weather and mood--I present you with today's card, Ancestors.

Sharing much of the warm and gentle coloration of Flame of Surrender, this Ancient One, sitting in a lotus pose, dreams you forward. You are the flower of Her dream. You are the realization of your ancestors' dearest hopes.

So, do not doubt yourself, and do not falter. Reconnect with the dream, and be who you are meant to be. 

Are you taking time to dream in this way? Are you making time to cozy up inside your hermit's dreaming cave and bring through dreams that can create tomorrows?

Although the flowering of those dreams will surely involve and affect others, you need alone time, privacy, to do this initial receiving, conceiving and birthing work on your own.

We will have one last go-round with the Triple Goddess deck tomorrow, and I can't wait to see what She has to show us!

CARD OF THE DAY: November 16, 2021

Here we go, again!

November 16, 2021: You're not going to believe this but, when I shuffled the cards, the Triple Goddess' Flame of Surrender returned today!

I love it when cards underscore their message by showing up again in a separate random draw. Spirit says, "Are you listening? Make sure you listen this time!"

So, for today, I'm just going to direct you back (or, for some of you, for the first time) to yesterday's message. Maybe some fresh insights will emerge for you or earlier ones will clarify.

Enjoy this second visit with Flame of Surrender!
