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!

CARD OF THE WEEKEND: August 13-14, 2022

Above:

Ship

Mystical Lenormand

by Regula Elizabeth Fiechter with art by Urban Trösch

Below:

Ship

Golden Thread Lenormand

by Tina Gong (Labyrinthos)

August 13-14, 2022: With the wind in your billowing sails, you set off on a journey by sea. The natural, elemental forces of magick, Air and Water, as well as a certain boldness of mind and heart, propel you forward.

This Lenormand card, shown here in two versions, represents a yes--movement and momentum. You're called to set off on a course of action. The strong possibility that this action or series of actions will take you out of your habitual comfort zone into unfamiliar territory should be no impediment. Get going.

This reminds me of the words of a former president of Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf:

The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.

Or, as has been said elsewhere, Feel the fear and do it anyway.

Zoom "séances" continue this Summer!

Hathor

Goddesses Knowledge Cards

by Michael Babcock with art by Susan Seddon Boulet

My Zoom “séances” started as a little Facebook joke and grew into a space where folks find time to breathe, take a break, and explore and share the fullness of heart, mind, and spirit. Our practice is, at once, restoration and resistance.

In these challenging times, it is rare to find spaces like this or make time away from daily stressors. So, I’m inviting you to sit (séance) with us and take your place within this energy.

Our next two Zoom séances will be held on:

Saturday, July 9, 1pm to 2:30pm Eastern

Saturday, July 23, 1pm to 2:30pm Eastern

(These monthly gatherings will be suspended in August.)

Admission is free. Donations are appreciated and accepted via Venmo or Zelle.

RSVP by contacting me here (see below), and you will receive the Zoom link.

We look forward to welcoming you to our circle!

CARD OF THE WEEK: May 30-June 3, 2022

 

Mountain

Mystical Lenormand

by Regula Elizabeth Fiechter with art by Urban Trösch

May 30-June 3, 2022: The Lenormand card Mountain need not carry a negative meaning. Certainly, it's daunting and can represent difficult things or situations. However, as I see it, Mountain's challenges can sometimes be viewed as positive strengthening and clarifying experiences or lead to positive outcomes. Mountain can tell of obstacles and hardships but also overcoming them. It can signal the potential for well-earned advancement.

Mountain can be the card of high aims, goals that require determination, careful planning, crafty strategizing, serious focus, responsibility, team effort, tenacity, stamina, resourcefulness, and resilience. It is definitely the card of "adulting"--a way of being that some of us dislike and resist and some of us can, at times, find revelatory, exhilarating, and rewarding. There is possibility here for high achievement and celebration at the summit.

It's good to take a full week to meditate on Mountain and see how the meaning and energy of this card intends to play out in your life. Its significance and operation will work out differently for each person. Even if Mountain turns out to carry a heavy, difficult meaning for you, how you choose to perceive and work with that difficulty will make all the difference.

Cards of The Weekend: November 12-14, 2021

Above, Mountain from Mystical Lenormand

by Regula Elizabeth Fiechter and illustrator Urban Trösch

Below, Mountain from Labyrinthos' Golden Thread Lenormand

 

November 12, 2021: This weekend, I'm giving you two Lenormand oracle cards (Mountain) for the sweet price of one--free!

Mountain looms large in one's mind--majestic, alluring, formidable, even terrifying. How will you respond? Go up? Go around? Or just stand there, frozen, and gawk at it in awe?

For Lenormand experts, this card indicates significant obstacles or enemies in one's path, resistance of all kinds. Momentum slows or slams to a halt; progress hits a snag.

The challenge here is to identify any conflicting energies and blockages (outer or inner) and face them with clear analysis, resolve, and persistence. Or with your own supple craftiness which--when at its most effective, most apt--might safely take you around rather than through or over. 

Should you move ahead and upward, you will eventually enjoy a refreshing, unobstructed view. And, certainly, you will have earned it.

CARDS OF THE DAY: November 4, 2021

NOVEMBER 4, 2010

 

Page of Swords (reversed)

Page of Swords Reversed and Lenormand's Clouds

One thing that reversed Swords cards can suggest is sheathing one's metaphorical sword for a time. In this case, the young, studious Page of Swords is advising you to turn your attention inward, to "hold that thought!" Keeping one's own counsel and not being so swift (a characteristic of the airy, lightning-fast Swords) to let loose and verbalize one's thoughts might be the smarter (less impulsive, less aggressive) move for this particular moment.

Lenormand's Clouds card adds its own note of caution against impulsive action or speech at a time of fogginess and potential confusion. Wait until those clouds clear--as they will--and then make your informed, precise, properly assertive move.

In the meantime, settle in, rest, hang out with your Inner Self.

CARD(S) OF THE DAY: November 2-3, 2021

Queen of Wands 

from Jerico Mandybur's Neo Tarot, 

illustrated by Daiana Ruiz

 

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2

Queen of Wands, Neo Tarot: Tarot’s Queens have profound, 360-degree, multidimensional knowledge. Be assured that you are completely surrounded by a warm, powerful force while action is being taken on your behalf. The Queen’s got you.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3

The Emperor. Appreciate the role of purpose, structure, and precision in all manifest things. Respect that when you see it around you--and within you, too.
