The scenery was beyond breathtaking because at the core just fall foliage. I'll have to post pictures of that soon. <div>Being back in Philly of course means working out with my amazing if not brutal trainer and dear friend Marjorie. So this means a very specifically tailored meal plan, lots of working out, and waking up at ungodly hours. As I sat down to the specific tea blend she has me drinking I decided to do a daily draw. As always, my beloved Tarot of Vampyers give me a card that completely resonated. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXG7HPw3ar14Ok-pAb5Q3eizqesKza3k5v3WyRcEB24zy5cAhBfYtiTS5lCsp5l1l1bQAcjZyaX2wP0wROPIX-J-rBjWdFMNuHDk6CA0Y0h-8-60Q7ykFN32hIhj6zW1CplPTnLIpTyMg/s640/blogger-image-1101763834.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXG7HPw3ar14Ok-pAb5Q3eizqesKza3k5v3WyRcEB24zy5cAhBfYtiTS5lCsp5l1l1bQAcjZyaX2wP0wROPIX-J-rBjWdFMNuHDk6CA0Y0h-8-60Q7ykFN32hIhj6zW1CplPTnLIpTyMg/s640/blogger-image-1101763834.jpg"></a></div>The aces in this deck are so beautiful and each one is expressed with a specific color. The Ace of Grails uses glowing green which is perfect as it coincides with the color of the heart chakra. And how fitting that I would have one of the cups cards, a card that only uses the color green, jump out as I'm sitting to drink a cup of detox tea that is made from a blend of green herbs and vegetables including dandelion root. As a woman who is a total foodie, this truly shows the act of self-love that I recognize this to be. As I shuffled I did so with the specific intent of knowing how I can best stay in alignment (as Abraham-Hicks explains it to be). I will choose to be receptiveto the benefits of making healthier choices. Yesterday I just read something about how drinking your morning tea or coffee can be a form of mindfulness meditation. Every time I drink this tea blend which will be twice a day for the next several days, I will do so in a mindful state. I will set my intention and bless it for the cleansing of mind body and spirit of anything that may be causing me dis-ease. I will drink it with heartfelt gratitude for every person who helped create it and make it accessible to me, from Marjorie's love, sincerity and professional knowledge, and also for myself. For the act of self-love in choosing to consume it. This makes me think of something that one of my favorite YouTube yoga chicks says. She explained that when trying to maintain good posture, imagine leading with your heart. Rounded or hunched over shoulders can indicate that one has a heavy heart. Since I'm on the road I don't have the tools I would really like to assist me with the energy of this card, my rosewater and my green calcite. I think I'll do a short meditation focusing on a pink rose bush and absorb that energy into my heart chakra. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNPqF6b1EGqJjVULRzoh2TZMRZPJSBoqxA8EDDJ2RdggCa5pG3vVLqW5Mj4_gEEsAizy2vsUAhqQXP03ClybvEjxg2q74eCtrejcQWq3-edOyI4_blKzHfZl89LnrmvStbDYx_ev971TQ/s640/blogger-image-1522948624.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNPqF6b1EGqJjVULRzoh2TZMRZPJSBoqxA8EDDJ2RdggCa5pG3vVLqW5Mj4_gEEsAizy2vsUAhqQXP03ClybvEjxg2q74eCtrejcQWq3-edOyI4_blKzHfZl89LnrmvStbDYx_ev971TQ/s640/blogger-image-1522948624.jpg"></a></div><br></div>VioletteKitty504http://www.blogger.com/profile/04735184800663484375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900695229094515256.post-54244016142863950432015-10-09T00:05:00.001-04:002015-10-09T00:18:48.720-04:00New Moon in Libra Spread<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">One thing that SO often prevents me from making regular posts is the effort I put in. It's rooted in this whole "fear of getting it wrong" bullshit that is one of the most self-sabotaging things I do (in a list of many I tell ya lol). Also the fact that I type like a 4 year old lol. So in order to bring more ease as opposed to effort, I will attempt to make shorter posts more often. Let's see how it works out.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br />Today i am doing a spread that Lisa posted called the <a href="http://tarotmystic.me/" target="_blank">Libra Harmony New Moon Spread</a>. <span style="color: yellow;"><b>Libra</b></span> is one sign I really don't know much about and have known very few people born under it. So i figured this would help me to understand Libra peeps, the Justice card, and prepare for the new moon on October 12. Hey, it's totally a shout out to Duran Duran. It'll be a New Moon on Monday lol! Every single time I can possibly make that reference I do! I'm using by beloved Tarot of Vampyres. (Has anyone bought this deck recently?? I just purchase a new copy and I can't even begin to tell you how angry I am at the absolutely shitty card stock they are now printed on! Like, I may even actually contact Llewellyn because they should be ashamed!)<br /><br />As I asses an overall tone of the four cards, I notice that two are associated with cardinal signs and one with mutable. I will have to be mindful of my natural tendency to get all excited and fired up but have shitty follow-through on projects because I get bored or my focus gets scattered. This many earth cards also lets me know that my Capricorn ass is going to have to be more flexible/less stubborn. Wow. Spot. On. This is one reason I adore this deck. The accuracy and depth of the readings it gives me is almost like that of a sentient being, an old friend who knows me well.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br />1.<u> Sow - Something lacking in my life that I need to bring in for more balance</u>- <span style="color: purple;">4 of Skulls</span> - Order, structure, determination. This is the Sun in Capricorn- power and growth that leads to the growth of tangible results. I love the female vamp's very confident, unaffected posture! Her backs against the wall but she is not pressed in the least bit! And her lovers more assertive, forceful appearance. She wears the Capricorn glyph on her arm, he the Sun's on his very impressive weapon dripping with fresh blood. This pair is an unstoppable force. i wonder if this is someone who will assist me (my cousin Michele quite possibly) or is it two aspects of me?<br />2. <u>Weed - What is there too much of that's causing imbalance?</u> <span style="color: yellow;">2 of Knives</span> - Indecision, stagnation due to feeling so out of balance and overwhelmed by the shit storm I'm in. This is the Moon in Libra. There is too much stress that is preventing me from trusting my intuition. Every problem must have a solution just based on the law of physics. I can remove a lot of the mental sparing in my head by 1. Looking at the things that are stressful with eyes wide open and 2. Shutting off the thoughts in my head by meditation and breathing exercises.<br />3.<u> Nurture - What I need to use to help card #1 take root </u>- <span style="color: #cc0000;">Ace of Scepters</span> - Willpower. Re-newed, raw courage. I don't like to use the word goals. For some reason it makes me think of every single reason why something won't work the want I want it to. So I've replaced it in my vocabulary with desire. That feels much more intriguing, enticing. Possible. It puts my energy in the flow of what it feels like to have that desire as a current reality, not a far off wish blocked by obstacles. I also see this giant cross as a symbol of faith and protection. Of the fires signs in the zodiac: Aries, Leo, and Sag/fired up, determined, optimistic. This card in this position also says to me how important it is for me to do things that are completely NOT related to the tasks that I have to accomplish that are so overwhelming. Because that's how I can prevent from getting burned out. So I must go out, play pool, go to the movies, and enjoy every second of my limited time back in New Orleans!<br />4. <u>Harvest - What I can expect by the Full Moon </u>- <span style="color: purple;">The Hermit IX </span>- mutable sign of Virgo, the number 9 which is completion yet still transition. This card for me is the goddess Hecate as well as the Lwa Papa Legba, both cross-roads spirits. WOW! As I am typing this I just got an email notification pop up on my phone with Hecate in the subject line!! I connected with her around this time last year in the UK. I'll have to do a meditation and candle work hear what she wants me to know, which path she wants me to take at this time. The Hermit for me is also about enlightenment. The need to withdrawn in order to have things crystallize, to hear mySelf as it directs me. I will be better able to set aside alone time dedicated to studying my cards and my course work in my Angelic Tarot class. It also warns me to not over-analyze shit and get stuck (Earth/Virgo). So by the full moon, I should have a lot more self-confidence and wisdom about the choices, the crossroads I am at. I will most likely also need a lot of alone time. Perhaps some shadow work on the other side of the full moon with the help of Hecate.<br />I also love the fact that the Hermit displays a direct quote from Duran Duran, "I light my torch and wave it for the new moon on Monday!"</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I obviously identify myself is a tarot reader, but also as a student at the Tarot as well. So I decided to sign up for Lisa Friedeborg-Eddy's <a href="http://angelorum.co/school-2/e-courses/" target="_blank">Angelic Tarot class</a>. It's a very in-depth course which teaches the angelic correspondences to each of the 78 tarot cards. It's a lot of memorization however, I'm thoroughly enjoying it and learning a lot. Another great thing about it is that even though it's a 6 weeks course, you go at your own pace. And for the amount of in-depth information she provides, the price is unbelievably reasonable! </span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
So. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I'm having a problem with a very very nasty family member's husband. He is a real son of a bitch. So I decided to call upon Archangel Michael for assistance by creating a powerful spiritual bath charged with his energy. One thing I Learned after moving back to New Orleans several years ago was a new way of understanding angels. They are NOT always the gentle, docile creatures that we are led to believe or see them as. Can they be? Absolutely! But lest we forget, they are sword wielding warriors who slay demons. So the next time you are about to blow off angelic energy as being all fluffy bunny, remember that and think about what a Soldier is and does. About a combat veteran who was in the trenches at Normandy, or the jungles of Vietnam or Mogadishu, or the deserts of Iraq. Angels ain't no joke! They are ass kicking assassins. With wings. There's a reason that Angels are referenced and called upon in all Judeo-Christian religions as well as most all Voodoo religions. Think about that for a second. </div>

<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Let me just say, my path is a very eclectic one. There are tons of different ways to make a spiritual bath and to work with AA Michael. Sunday is his sacred day however, unfortunately I didn't think to do it yesterday and today is Monday. But it's not like he's not going to pick up the angel telephone line the other 6 days of the week LOL. This is the way I felt directed to do so. Perhaps you will find it helpful as well. Feel free to make changes or additions as you feel guided to do. There are no precise measurements I used. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
But here's what I used and how I did it. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
7 is my favorite number. It also happens to be a number with very divine energy. So I used 7 ingredients:</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Rosemary, sea salt, sage, basil, frankincense, myrrh , and Florida water. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA0fqW2gZ_NzrwNQ4rautPB2Kp12nOVEjffZyZYfyFCthjQOz8Elou4aMVLYdeRlkT0RDnB13K-gZZs2Vx_8k0A7W3iJHHLj8s6LVt2pbuxIMn-hNc3M7tuLf-XaChpBtFJS3kxQWcjsc/s640/blogger-image-997895497.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA0fqW2gZ_NzrwNQ4rautPB2Kp12nOVEjffZyZYfyFCthjQOz8Elou4aMVLYdeRlkT0RDnB13K-gZZs2Vx_8k0A7W3iJHHLj8s6LVt2pbuxIMn-hNc3M7tuLf-XaChpBtFJS3kxQWcjsc/s640/blogger-image-997895497.jpg" /></a></div>
All of these ingredients are extremely good for removing negativity and cleansing both the physical and energetic body and/or a space. But frankincense in particular is associated with Archangel Michael. *(please note: when I took this picture I had intended on using rosewater. But I felt Michael instruct me to not use it in this bath. As well as remind me that Spirit had guided me last week to use basil in a cleansing bath.)* </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I put all of the ingredients with the exception of the Florida water into a sauce pan that was about 3/4 full of water, brought it to a roaring boil. Then I put the lid on, turned it down to medium low heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes or so. Then I turned off the heat and let it all steep for like 20 minutes or so. Again, like I said, no set rules with regard to this with the exception of a very clear and strong intent of cleansing and protection from any and all forms of harmful or negative energy. I also recited the Our Father, the Hail Mary, and the 91st Psalm, all of which are very useful for any work of this kind.<br />

Also be aware that when you add Florida water to any mixture like this, it's loses its translucency and becomes milky and cloudy. Since Archangel Michael is associated with solar energy, I let the mixture sit in the sunlight for roughly 15 minutes. I prayed for him and the power of sunlight to shed light on any kind of darkness that has ill intent, to bring healing, positivity empowerment and happiness. </div>

I will let the bottles sit overnight with the Sun card from my Bonefire tarot deck propped up against them with the intention of them absorbing the energy of that card, but also because it is the card associated with Archangel Michael. I will use this as a spiritual cleansing bath. I will also add a portion to a spray bottle and do a 50/50 ratio of the bat to alcohol and use it as a missed to cleanse and create sacred space.</div>

The past 6 to 8 weeks - The Chariot - i've truly felt so divided. Having had to leave my home, both my apartment as well as the city of New Orleans that is my home, with only about 24 hours notice I am definitely feeling very split about that decision. My heart is still there however my ass is currently in Pittsburgh. One of the major themes of the past two months is learning to be present in the here and now. It's interesting that this card also has so much to do with travel and transportation. I went back home for a week at the end of June and will be going back for a couple of weeks around Halloween. Which is interesting considering the third card of the spread represents closer to that time. The Chariot has to do with the solar plexus chakra, and this is definitely a test of my will and personal power. </span></div><div><br></div><div>2. Mabon(ish) - The Magician- what a most auspicious card! This is such an interesting version of the magician, clearly and nod to Darwin having the chimpanzee here. During this time I need to be very conscious of my thoughts, as thoughts become things. The figure is looking up, and this makes me think of the recent pull<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> I've had to learning more about the angelic realm's and the course I'm currently taking the Lisa is offering. I'm not sure which archangel will be associated with this card, possibly Raphael? This also serves as a warning to me to be ultra conscious of not just my own personal thoughts but how I communicate them since Mercury rules this card and is currently driving everyone fucking crazy being retrograde! I've already had several episodes of bullshit as a result. I must be mindful and conscious of what I'm creating. As Abraham Hicks so often says, thoughts in and of themselves are manifestations. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">3. Future- The Hierophant- most often I tend to have less than positive take on this card. However it's speaking to me in a different manner right now. It's association with Tarus is speaking to me about working on a root chakra issues = being grounded creating a sense of stability and security which equates your safety, taking care of my physical body as well. The card is also showing that I will be in a time of not just learning but becoming a woman with strong leadership skills that is worthy of respect it's interesting that the </font><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Pope is on tour in the states right now, actually in Philadelphia tonight.

Like, who's being a complete dick. This is really making me think of a very serious situation with one of my most trusted, loyal and beloved friends I adore.

I really wanted to make a post every day. But I've not done that.

Though I haven't done the work for self-love September in the manner in which I wanted to do it, that in no way voids out the work that I have done none the less. The card shows a woman peacefully sitting in lush green grass,tucked away in an alcove with a canopy of white flowers of her head. She wears a garment that looks almost white, but is actually an ever so pale shade of soft pink as her hands are raised to remove an eye mask made of the same fabric. As the card title suggests, what revelation will be made apparent to her when she does?

Of the past few days I've had to have a few come to Jesus meetings with myself. New Orleans my home. I'm very, very displeased at the fact that I have to be up here in Pittsburgh. But I've had to realize that the more I fight it The more I am wasting energy that could be better directed toward accomplishing the things I need to do so that I can leave Pittsburgh and go back home to New Orleans. So I finally decided to use a present that my cousin gave me but I wanted to wait until I got back to New Orleans to use. It's the most adorable little lamp! It's shaped like a freaking tube of lipstick with the silver case and it totally girly pink lip color! How perfect! And it gives my room the loveliest pink glow. I can feel my heart chakra balancing every time I turn it on. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLuqEQfUmMU5irTCS01oCjxEkgUObhnSA-elz17QsJ2SyqNmpu46zkvy8UTWdYx_lngXA3BCVSG_N_gHZJydpt9CzHf_5cKRq5zbEeUsnmtjxydbzlcfnb2bPd1RdmF5i1xGeFNGTcg8I/s640/blogger-image-1454453935.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLuqEQfUmMU5irTCS01oCjxEkgUObhnSA-elz17QsJ2SyqNmpu46zkvy8UTWdYx_lngXA3BCVSG_N_gHZJydpt9CzHf_5cKRq5zbEeUsnmtjxydbzlcfnb2bPd1RdmF5i1xGeFNGTcg8I/s640/blogger-image-1454453935.jpg"></a></div></div><div><br></div><div>2.

So much for making a post every day LOL. Good grief I'm ridiculous. The task of going through my mothers house is truly a Herculean one. Words truly cannot capture the magnitude of going through the four-story house of someone who had become a hoarder. But that's another post. <div>The day after the last post I made, I accidentally got a job. I wrote about this wonderful blog post and just as I went to add the final picture, I hadn't saved the post. So it all went away. And I was mad as fuck lol. Yes I accidentally got a job. I walked in to get my nails done, walked out with a job.<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEBZejAiEs-W9nNn_FRrGFfmzymjEYPQ5CTnOItLWVtApgiF8MqOdE-OcVeodQT_Y7dYsLLhbA_ZqQR8ZFzrBf9MjN2VTEwfhDvXefUvxVASfaRJI2YqULvwkMLr4z6llxbVZtZ6Up3MU/s640/blogger-image-759106562.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEBZejAiEs-W9nNn_FRrGFfmzymjEYPQ5CTnOItLWVtApgiF8MqOdE-OcVeodQT_Y7dYsLLhbA_ZqQR8ZFzrBf9MjN2VTEwfhDvXefUvxVASfaRJI2YqULvwkMLr4z6llxbVZtZ6Up3MU/s640/blogger-image-759106562.jpg"></a></div> Now I swore I would never ever go back to doing nails. I've been licensed to do nail since 1993 and it worked in some posh salon and was even an educator for a product line in Florida. But when I left that career to start my career as a flight attendant I really never want to go back to it again. When will I learn that as soon as you say the word never, the universe laughs in your face and you just sealed your fate that never becomes what you will most definitely end up doing. That's a picture of the first bowls that I've done in about 10 years. Sometimes self-love means toughlove, like a mama who has to kick you out of the nest. I had to really very quickly shut down the voice of doubt and fear, just hard-core ignore it and just jump into the deep end and do the damn thing! As opposed to critiquing what's wrong with them, (I do have to say however that the darkness around her cuticles is hyperpigmentation and not me having butchered them LOL )I'm going to highlight the positive which is equally is true, and that's the fact that they're pretty damn good for someone he's been out of the game for 10 years! So this means I'll only get better!<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihAG46d53y1mZKrNuj5Bt5tvDphteUqwPUz5jcozHzC8k7rDjYBKDT0Tah6Lywx0mvWCG4C850md0bjkK4gNQrfzeoA6fTDuA-SnpPn8Uv85tq9ZsY19ZzrHR2bUga-b9l61xVNPvBv_A/s640/blogger-image-2052256514.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihAG46d53y1mZKrNuj5Bt5tvDphteUqwPUz5jcozHzC8k7rDjYBKDT0Tah6Lywx0mvWCG4C850md0bjkK4gNQrfzeoA6fTDuA-SnpPn8Uv85tq9ZsY19ZzrHR2bUga-b9l61xVNPvBv_A/s640/blogger-image-2052256514.jpg"></a></div><br><div>I could sit here and discuss how pissed off I am that I have not kept up with making a post today or done the self-love September activities that I was so gung ho about.

As Abraham Hicks says, beliefs are just thought to keep thinking. This so clearly depicts how powerful my mind is and how important it is to be aware of negative self talk. Thoughts of doubt or lack or in anyway counteract my quest for self-love can be quieted by thoughts, words or visualizations of myself as a magnificent creature who radiates a sense of splendor the way this woman does. Her proud posture and her graceful hand placement exceed poise and grace. Her lavish c<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">rimson evening gown makes a bold statement with regard to her self-confidence and defiant nature. Defining any odds stacked against her or any words or actions meant to undermine her fulfillment of her desires. The beautiful butterfly on her head is like a crown. It makes me think of how many beautiful butterflies Oshun since to me every time I go sit outside! The parrot really stands out in reference to these two cards. It's as though he's flying away from that negative self talk toward the woman who looks on at him very cautiously. As he displays his oh so colorful plumage, what message is he bringing? Because she's looking at him like he do wise to not come at her with some bullshit lest he end up taxidermied as a new headpiece for her next performance LOL! This also feels like more encouragement from the universe for me to pursue my interest with the burlesque community. Both by the fact that I'm brushing up on my manicure skills to adorn the dancers graceful fingertips with rhinestones glitter and pretty polishes, but also for me to fight through The negative self talk and doubt that keeps me from gracing the stage as a dancer myself.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">Here are the things I did to practice self left today:</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">1.

And you got a love the fact that this chick is just doing her and not given two shits about what anybody else thinks! She's loving life and completely comfortable in her own skin so fuck with me or anybody else thinks about her somewhat overzealous and goofy nature. Like I am not either and/or both of those at any given moment LOL!? Her YouTube channel is the Kick Ass Witch. (Dammit I wish my phone would do hyperlinks!) I really strongly suggest checking out her videos as well as her blog!

Today I drew the card entitled <b>Renewal</b> using the gorgeous White Rabbit Oracle. I decided it would be a really good idea to get back to basics in terms of how I learned a new deck. Or I have a deeper understanding and go back to learn and old deck for that matter. So I decided to do Pathwork exercise with this card. The short version of how to do that is basically quieting the mind, focusing on studying the card, and then closing your eyes and either going into that card as if it were a real place or becoming the character on the card. It was a really powerful experience and made me realize how much I need to do that more often. By meditating on the card this way I got several messages. Many of them with regard needing to really focus on my ancestors altar. That I need to remember that the spirit guides with whom I have the closest connection is my ancestors. Having an altar and working with them gives light in progress to both me and them. I love the woman's posture in this card. She stand so tall and proud. As though she were drawing fresh air or prana deep into her lungs in order to feel renewed and revitalized. Gentle beams of sunlight slice through the shadows as a gust of wind causes her ivory skirt to billow behind her. I'm reminded of something Eric told me a couple of weeks ago. It was one of most beautiful things he has ever said to me and I've known the man my entire life. He said "you shine a lot of light into some very dark places". Yet here she stands and beautiful and powerful solitude. Yet another reminder of how important it is to feed my own spirit first. <div><br></div><div>Here are the things I did to practice self-love today:</div><div>1. Though I began doing this several months ago, I'm proud that I've kept up with it and it still counts lol. Before I go to bed at night I fill up a large cup with water. They say that there are a multitude of health benefits to drinking a large glass of water as soon as you wake up, from helping all of your organs to work efficiently as well as your nervous system to lubricating your joints. By doing it this way it's right by my bedside so I can't forget when I wake up. I tried to drink four of these per day. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3EVBnGA8RcV5Ad0YWIAdkEQMGsgdP7CJRCYzqnJaKq7XazcnkORlIMJZlGSv1iutNeqbVdEpwdtvvEsH4PNzTtLVJ3OIYBMygHYCCmSGu2nDUUzuCwQCGAZisMXePznNMQI9lioZerpw/s640/blogger-image--843191884.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3EVBnGA8RcV5Ad0YWIAdkEQMGsgdP7CJRCYzqnJaKq7XazcnkORlIMJZlGSv1iutNeqbVdEpwdtvvEsH4PNzTtLVJ3OIYBMygHYCCmSGu2nDUUzuCwQCGAZisMXePznNMQI9lioZerpw/s640/blogger-image--843191884.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>2. I did a bit of journaling. I got past the fact that I don't have a journal specifically dedicated for S LS yet. I used to know someone that used to tell me all the time "baby, do something, even if it's wrong." There's a lot of validity to that statement. </div><div><br></div><div>3. I did 10 minutes of yoga this morning. Again, getting past the fact that I I feel like I should be doing a much longer practice. I did something because I know that it is definitely an act of self-love. There's a really cool YouTube chick named Allie Kamanova that who has a great channel. She started a 30 day yoga challenge yesterday. Be advised, what Ally calls begin or may be a little different than what you may think it is LOL. I would've preferred to do a we bit of stretching before launching right into downward dog. But hey, I guess that's what self-love is all about, acknowledging what my limits are and deciding if it's best for me to respect them or to push a little beyond them.</div><div><a href="https://youtu.be/ClB86KL4b_k">https://youtu.be/ClB86KL4b_k</a></div><div><br></div><div>4. I made myself but on a tiny bit of make up today. Now I'm definitely not a chick you can't leave the house without make up. But it is definitely something that I enjoy doing on a pretty regular basis and makes me feel like a person who gives a damn lol. </div><div><br></div><div>5. I ate a beautiful fresh plum today. I love fruit but I deathly don't eat enough of it. I also ate much smaller portions today. And since I know I need to lose about 15 pounds this is a good thing.</div><div><br></div><div>6. I made a business call that I really needed to make. I didn't feel like it, but I gently encourage myself to do it because it is definitely in my best interest to do so.</div><div><br></div><div>7. I spent about an hour and a half sitting outside on the back deck. It overlooks a huge expanse of trees. I didn't learn anything from being in the UK last year, I damn sure learned how important it is for me to have my solitude as well as to be in or near nature on a regular basis. As I sat there I journaled about various ways to meditate using Tarot and oracle cards. So now I have that as a reference to always look back on.</div><div><br></div>VioletteKitty504http://www.blogger.com/profile/04735184800663484375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900695229094515256.post-54001112820052700052015-09-01T18:40:00.001-04:002015-09-01T19:04:10.806-04:00Self-love September - Ace of Cups<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Last year while I was in England I tripped over the website of a very interesting woman by the name of Gala Darling and movement toward deep emotional healing and happiness that she calls radical self-love. (as I making this post from my phone I can't create a link. But you definitely may want to check out her blog. She makes some very interesting posts and has several classes and workshops that she even offers a payment plan for!) Then I saw something from one of my favorite YouTube vloggers, The Four Queens, declaring the month of September as self-love September. This year I'm ready to take action on it. Below is the introductory video that she offers for Self-love September 2015. It explains what the concept is all about as well as give some tips to assist with getting started. I was lucky enough to to find an absolutely beautiful journal at Barnes & Noble on clearance for only $2.15! I love the rich creaminess at the paper and the fact that it's not lined as well as the beautiful cover. So that will entice me to use it more. I chose to focus on the Ace of cups from the beautiful BoneFire Tarot. So often as readers we associate this card with a budding of new or the rekindling of an old romance. I think it's very important for us to look at the card from a very fundamental perspective. The Ace is the number one. So this speaks to that gift of emotion, that wellspring of love that starts with it being a gift from the divine to us, and that we continually give to ourselves. it's important for us to nurture and care for our own selves first and foremost. To see our own beauty and our validity through the eyes of the source/divine/god/goddess that exists with in us. When we are able to do this, we are able to stop seeking love or validation from any external source. I think the Ace of Cups also reminds us of the need to be compassionate and gentle with ourselves as we go through the emotive process of diving deep into our emotional being. Look at the lotus blossoms at the base of the cup. The Lotus is a very sacred symbol in buddhism. Is one of the only flowers that is constantly seeding as it is flowering. They can <b>only</b> grow in the most disgusting, murky, muddy water. This represents the constant flux of life and death, of regeneration and renewal that can only come from unpleasant or challenging situations. It's only through sifting through plus parts of ourselves, experiencing the dark, shitty times that were able to see just how powerful and beautiful we are. I finally decided that baking the question as to why things are set up this way is one of the most counterproductive and self-defeating things I can do. So now my work is to except the truth of it and proceed from there.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizhE0hZcOh3fzyNXMzZLb71E5M-5pBdEI2vmYCIJ7Ql_O1HNkkWDq_BEy4FUZ8P2ejyEStjUTiYrgmKNyeelCo3AuP-DSsyNmJFjRoFoxQRjS4BO-RHmu1D8Rm3T7EH_BlLh6uhfhuGp4/s640/blogger-image--103390010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizhE0hZcOh3fzyNXMzZLb71E5M-5pBdEI2vmYCIJ7Ql_O1HNkkWDq_BEy4FUZ8P2ejyEStjUTiYrgmKNyeelCo3AuP-DSsyNmJFjRoFoxQRjS4BO-RHmu1D8Rm3T7EH_BlLh6uhfhuGp4/s640/blogger-image--103390010.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">One suggestion that KerriAnne of the Four Queens made is to carry some sort of totem or item to remind yourself of participating in self-love September.

Today I realize it's been exactly 365 days since I last posted. On this day last year I was still in the UK. There was a mixture of emotions as I'd just left the seaside and my wonderful friends in Cornwall and come back up to Devon. I knew I would soon be leaving the UK. I felt a lot of relief in some respects yet a lot of sadness as I'd come to truly love England and was surprised to felt completely at home there. And as I prepared to go home to New Orleans I felt equal parts joy and trepidation. So much had happened, some wonderful, some traumatic. I'd had the most amazing experience living abroad for four months, a dream come true! Made so many real bonds with people as well as the land itself. I'd also experience the absolute nightmare of my precious dog Selene dying only two weeks after I had left the US.</div><br></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNFB3IkKaxtcEUDmXpQYWdaymZgR2BcxajQ2rnOvo2fUsTKuPjcNv1-f_E5_NqqlK4sotaKVrJQ4bOrm5b0Xi5oL_eYPGRHV1IygR63CfT0wycFf1jxyvdtFhAmcHoz65lIfhGsWFDUuw/s640/blogger-image-663114770.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNFB3IkKaxtcEUDmXpQYWdaymZgR2BcxajQ2rnOvo2fUsTKuPjcNv1-f_E5_NqqlK4sotaKVrJQ4bOrm5b0Xi5oL_eYPGRHV1IygR63CfT0wycFf1jxyvdtFhAmcHoz65lIfhGsWFDUuw/s640/blogger-image-663114770.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlcv-fJxMO54VRarCvkqsfRLT2PLD0_lvcvZ2qQ5Wd5mOjkpa4OADae8J1IV8MpsjLoFILStbxDtu-N-MjmsE8-LCLiwvQEIWqEeX6C2dkmkXEj9h_f86UvBnS8UxkTs1SwP5u9itVZeY/s640/blogger-image-394171931.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlcv-fJxMO54VRarCvkqsfRLT2PLD0_lvcvZ2qQ5Wd5mOjkpa4OADae8J1IV8MpsjLoFILStbxDtu-N-MjmsE8-LCLiwvQEIWqEeX6C2dkmkXEj9h_f86UvBnS8UxkTs1SwP5u9itVZeY/s640/blogger-image-394171931.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUvHx_zuhRxXZ2PWjp2cAfVVmriQOPG8WgIjNDmXiIYAhY_DgNP9GhrQF1YzErpdfIbbNbJi6P2uqjjAkaaExFaBKn7Yw0tHa_5j-zENc6XRsRLuxHT-lmWa1mbmDcOwslPN8S947TscY/s640/blogger-image-849320007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUvHx_zuhRxXZ2PWjp2cAfVVmriQOPG8WgIjNDmXiIYAhY_DgNP9GhrQF1YzErpdfIbbNbJi6P2uqjjAkaaExFaBKn7Yw0tHa_5j-zENc6XRsRLuxHT-lmWa1mbmDcOwslPN8S947TscY/s640/blogger-image-849320007.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8ORr_Yl6XLjwTChKxR8ueDZK6JdAeF-gs1nCldsBwP8bW7fskX-_sgmuf9NjGm_O9-cpGYnIutN2zYqRExA70Bsci5OFaML3A7g55KzNvjxOQMf6a8AjmT4Bmxywy6Eoavi6K3lpB510/s640/blogger-image--1881989004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8ORr_Yl6XLjwTChKxR8ueDZK6JdAeF-gs1nCldsBwP8bW7fskX-_sgmuf9NjGm_O9-cpGYnIutN2zYqRExA70Bsci5OFaML3A7g55KzNvjxOQMf6a8AjmT4Bmxywy6Eoavi6K3lpB510/s640/blogger-image--1881989004.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">One year to the day later I find myself back in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania after many many years. After swearing I would never ever come back here to live! I'll be damned if every single city I haven't said I swear I'll never live in again, the universe has not fucked me up and made me eat those words. (Maybe I should start saying I will never ever go to Paris, or London, or Mevsgissey, or Munich. Or the places that I have never been that I want to go to, like saying I will never ever go to Melbourne, or Thailand, or Rio de Janeiro!) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Oddly enough, I left home from New Orleans only 10 days more than being the exact same date I departed last year. This time I find myself reconnecting with several people I've known my whole life and who mean the world to me. But what brought me up here was giving palliative care for my beautiful mommy the last month of her life.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">But that's a story for another time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbWlbQfcCZtPbTxPDep5HLypL_pGG4SmYd1g59AG-ng-5vRvvGoDS6UyFd3BP4pJwww7oAlgihYuTbIOYNu4reRPLKePXDnLhx5_GM2Glx4yFuJmMkHP8zpHNpiiQVb6-pTSvYoDC0A9s/s640/blogger-image-638379147.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbWlbQfcCZtPbTxPDep5HLypL_pGG4SmYd1g59AG-ng-5vRvvGoDS6UyFd3BP4pJwww7oAlgihYuTbIOYNu4reRPLKePXDnLhx5_GM2Glx4yFuJmMkHP8zpHNpiiQVb6-pTSvYoDC0A9s/s640/blogger-image-638379147.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">While sitting here thinking about all of that, I decided to shuffle the deck I recently acquired and is very quickly become an absolute favorite! It's the absolutely stunning White Rabbit Oracle, a self published deck by artist Ariana Siegel that can be found on her Etsy shop or at whiterabbittarot.com. As I shuffled, the car that jumped out was <b>Desire</b>. The scene appears to be Victorian era London. Two lovers are tucked away in a hidden alcove where they have the opportunity to give in to their deep desire for one another. Outside the world behind them is cold and gray, clouded by apathy, confusion and unfulfillment of stoic and depressed sky and surroundings. But inside the secret cavern there's the candlelit glow of the gaslamp overhead. Here they are able to release their passionate desires and focus only on the beauty and joy that this rendezvous brings. Only the Raven in-flight bears witness witness. It brings to mind some of the beautiful scenes from the seductively gothic, dark drama Penny Dreadful. Or perhaps this is Edgar Allan and his beloved Eleanor.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I don't think this card having jumped out for me is so much about carnal desires, although I'm sure there's a certain element of truth to that. Being in Pittsburgh has led me to spend an enormous amount of time with my childhood sweetheart, the first boy I ever kissed, my first love that I've known since we were 3 <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">years old, Eric. Instead I think the card is reminding me to embrace the true desires of my heart. The death of my mother has made me truly understand in a very different way how imperative it is to embrace and cultivate the desires of the heart and more importantly those that call to the spirit. The two on the card look like they are in an erotic dance. I was really becoming rooted in the burlesque community of New Orleans and had finally gotten the courage to take my first lesson only two days before I had to come up here unexpectedly. This card is reminding me not to give up on that as well as the need to explore and embrace other things that I truly desire. Being a corporate flight attendant who travels the world and gets paid quite nicely to do so. Taking belly dance classes. Seeking out like-minded individuals and communities who have the same interests as I do that don't fit into mainstream society but call to me on a soul deep level. I really feel the importance of this card having shown itself to me. New Orleans and the French quarter in particular is like the land of misfit toys. It's where the unique, the bizarre and what is misunderstood by the masses is openly displayed and embraced. This card is reminding me to be true to myself in many different ways. To continue to explore and engage in the things my soul desires.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5hKguQ0ofOfWiM3KkGp1-ndpUKHrKN1_cX-zI7cQs5NEs9kfwTBJsc-52kl40F0fj6iwIN0vIs2M1LkGPA7N5h8AtDXL_rM7z-M11NYmphNBx3QNSYvRm5ubH_w-SQWu43OTVZoJSpV4/s640/blogger-image-1943623593.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5hKguQ0ofOfWiM3KkGp1-ndpUKHrKN1_cX-zI7cQs5NEs9kfwTBJsc-52kl40F0fj6iwIN0vIs2M1LkGPA7N5h8AtDXL_rM7z-M11NYmphNBx3QNSYvRm5ubH_w-SQWu43OTVZoJSpV4/s640/blogger-image-1943623593.jpg"></a></div><br></span></div>VioletteKitty504http://www.blogger.com/profile/04735184800663484375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900695229094515256.post-11510691195172137482014-08-31T18:27:00.000-04:002014-08-31T19:16:02.728-04:00Tarot Pix Challenge - Day 3 and 4

<p>1. The cloth is another reading cloth I've brought with me to the UK. It's a gorgeous teal made of heavy, good quality silk. I got it at the best thrift/vintage clothing store EVER called Ragstock, located in Chicago. It's worth a flight with two empty suitcases just to go there! Two floors of the most amazing stuff for stupid cheap prices. I think this was .50 cents. It opens up to about a foot long.</p>
<p>2. My favorite smoky quartz point. An excellent choice as a reader because it absorbs negative energy and is very good o balance the root chakra for grounding. </p>
<p>3. The pouch was hand made by a fellow reader in Jackson Square just for me. My Universal Goddess Tarot lives in it. </p>
<p>4. I always like to read with a candle when possible. Candlelight attracts Spirit. </p>

<p> I'm sure you've heard me speak about <strong><font color="#7f0085">Oya</font></strong>. She is the Afrian Orisha (spirit) who rules over change. In the Afro-Brazilian faith called Condomblé she is the Orixa known as <strong><font color="#7f0085">Iansã</font></strong>. She is the natural phenomenon that is the storm. <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Oya, who is the winds of change and transformation. She brings clarity, courage the ability to objectively decide the best path to take. She can "clear the air" with regard to disputes. She can "clean house" of any people, situations or relationships that need to be removed from our lives. Her lesson can b quite painful and unpleasant. She is quite often more like a tornado, but lately I'm very fortunate to see the summer breeze aspect of her, which I didn't know she had! So I'm quite greatful for that! I still have a piece of glass in my arm from her coming down on me. Often times you will see her represented as St. Barbara, St. Catherine or <font color="#7f0085"><strong>St. Theresa. </strong></font></span></p>

Wednesday is her sacred day and her number is <strong><font color="#7f0085">9</font></strong>.

And it has rained with wind gusts ALL day long. One of the lesser blessings she bestowed was to hold off the rain and storms for the garden party my new friend in the UK, Tracey, was having last Saturday. Because it was supposed to rain and the wind was starting to get strong. Yet we got about 5 min f rain, the wind calmed down, and we even got one her symbols people often forget, the rainbow! The joy and blessings that come after the storm. </span></p>

In two days time, August 29, it will be 9 years since Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.

One cousin of mine had 14" of water in her house. He father a few blocks away had about the same. 9 years later, many empty lots remain. And the fact that where a multitude of massive oak trees, banana trees and mimosas, there are almost NO TREES at all for blocks and blocks makes it look down right creepy!

I've invoked the Orisha of maternal love and healing for complete success in this. To bless all of the hospital staff, surgeons, nurses, staff and that entire environment of the hospital as well. And for Chloe, her beloved and their young son who is braving this experience. I ask that anyone who reads this send positive energy as well.

I'll just share the pictures and keep it simple. Mind you, this was not the proper way to do a cleansing bath in-keeping with tradition!

<p> This post is for the sole/soul purpose of expressing gratitude! I realize I have so many Spirits around me who love and want to help me. Sometimes when depression/anxiety is kicking my ass it can be hard to remember that. But it is all a part of expansion and the learning process as a human. So they must allow me and all humans to experience the contrast as <strong><font color="#3131a0">Abraham-Hicks</font></strong> would call it ( aka the bullshit). They also teach that gratitude and being in nature are the fastest most definitive ways to feel better and raise your vibration. Yesterday my dear friend Fairy, one of the most amazingly gifted and accurate readers I've ever known, gave me a message from Lord Ganesha. He is Hindu God who removes obstacles and consort of Lakshmi, who let me know recently she was around me and offering to help me. Then I felt Yemaya, who I have not felt in a few months. This mornings oracle card was confirmation of that. Then I received a wonderful care package from New Orleans with gifts that filled me with love and appreciation. Just after openeing it, I stepped outside and received a message via the guardians of Air from my precious Selene! So I will start off with thanking Gansha! If this blog doesn't prove to me I need a Tumbler account nothing will lol.</p>

<p>An offering of delicious British single cream to <strong><font color="#ffcd00">Gansesha</font></strong>. I used the King of Pentacles for the Universal Goddess tarot which features his love, <strong><font color="#ff6800">Lakshmi</font></strong> as the King and he is the elephants in the background. He removes obstacles so that she can usher in blessings. Quite appropriate during this waning moon. In front is smoky quartz to remove negativity and depression and citrine to balnce my 3rd chakra which is a out happiness, empowerment, self-confidence, joy and prosperity. Thank you beautiful <strong><font color="#098000">Lady of the Fae</font></strong> for all the help and guidance you've been giving me. Thank you Ganesh and Lakshmi. </p>

<div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"> <span style="line-height: 1.3em; text-align: left;">This was what I got in the mail! Creole coffee!!!! Omg, there are so many things I absolutely love about the UK. The coffee situation is fucking horrific! This was the Ace of Cups if ever there was one lol! And this <font color="#ffffff"><strong>crystal</strong></font> is something I shall treasure forever. The amount of healing and love that <strong><font color="#7f0085">Joshua</font></strong> put into it is unreal. It actually vibrates and filled my whole body with a feeling of love radiating from it like electricity! It was like... Like a film of darkness and weight and shit just started to evaporate and was pulled off of me! That man's healing abilities are so powerful. I am so grateful for these gifts. The time he made in the midst of a whole lot of chaos and shit he is dealing with, and the criminal amount of money it coat to send 2 bricks of coffee and a crystal - $24.75 US! That is just robbery. I am so grateful to Joshua for sending me these things and that SOMEHOW, we are able to be friends. I am grateful to the precious gift of healing crystals bring. I am more motivated to get my shit together and get on track with my <a href="http://hibiscusmooncrystalacademy.com" target="_blank" title="">Hibiscus Moon Crystal Healing Course</a> than I have been since I first signed up! </span>

I'm not sure if anyone else can see a dog running happily other than me LOL! But I had a deep sense of knowing it was from her, sans the questioning my left brain often does. I love you and miss you more than words can say. Thank you for coming to let me know you are happy. That is what matters most of all. I am so grateful for every second you shared with me! Every walk at 3AM in the rain to go potty, every time you took up the entire bed, every time you looked at me with eyes of pure love. You were a gift from the angelic realm. </div>

<div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;">Yesterday I felt the presence of <strong><font color="#3131a0">Yemaya</font></strong>, African Orisha who is the embodiment of maternal love. In the tarot she would be the Queen of Cups. She found my apartment I used to have on Bourbon St. It was so tiny, but I loved that place so much. I dedicated my bathroom to her, a common thing since she rules the ocean. This was my alatar to her. Today I drew the card titled <font color="#3131a0">Ocean</font>. Isn't this deck beautiful. I'm so grateful for Dr. Steven Farmer who created it and the artists who brought the illustrations to life. He explains it to mean allowing yourself to feel whatever emotions that are coming up and not judge or fight against them, even if they are sucky ones like guilt, anger and grief. I need to learn that we feel our emotions, but we are not our emotions. Thank you Yemaya for the happy times I did spend in this wonderful apartment. And for the next one I know you are preparing for me. Ashé Mamma. </div>

<div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"> The first Goddess aside from Mother Mary I ever worked with was the Norse <strong><font color="#ffff00">Freyja</font></strong>. I haven't worked with her for several years, but I've felt her around me since I've been in the UK. I do so love her and this may be my favorite depiction of her. It's from a deck I no longer have, <strong>Doreen Virtue's Goddess Guidance Oracle</strong>. Don't know why I associate miragolds with her, but I do.</div>

<div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"> Yemaya has two sisters she loves dearly. One is <strong><font color="#ff6800">Oshun</font></strong>. In tarot she is the Queen of Wands. Yemaya rules the salt waters, but her sister rules the sweet waters, or the rivers. This was her altar I had in that same apartment on Bourbon. Thank you Oshun for giving me laughter, music and making me feel pretty. </div>

Think the Ace of Swords. She told me I had to come of the UK and could not go back to New Orleans until October. I've ignore her words in the past. Won't make the mistake again I tell ya! I took these beautiful pictures that represent her several weeks apart. Both were quite timely I'd have to say. Thank you Oya for helping me to find my inner warrior and to learn that change is the breath of life itself. Ashé. </div>

<div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><span style="line-height: 1.3em; text-align: left;">My beloved mermaid sister, <font color="#0dffff"><strong>LaSirene</strong>, Our Lady Star of the Sea</font>! It had been so long since I'd felt you and you made yourself known to me in several ways whilst I was in Cornwall. The altar was one of the three I had for her on Bourbon St. Lol! She is the Haitian Lwa who helps us with self-actualization and thus self love. I adore LaSirene. Thank you my sister for the 3 shooting stars I saw several weeks ago. And for the 13 Matthew and I saw in one night!!! Especially after showing yourself in that magickal photograph he took of both the aves and the Milky Way! When I have the money, I will surely purchase it as well as the latest shooting star he saw last weekend. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;">Last for this post, but definitely not least is the practice of <strong><font color="#cb98ff">yoga</font></strong>. It tends to show up as The Hanged Man in tarot readings. It has helped me tremendously to move through this very deep depression/anxiety, fear and grief over the loss of Selene. The benfits of yoga are seemingly limitless. I am most grateful for the Heike, a girl I used to fly with who was the first person to drag me quite reluctantly I might add, to my first yoga class back in 2001 when I lived in Ft. Lauderdale. Also to my angel of health and recovery of my spine and often my mind, Marjorie DeJoie and for the two instructors who made the biggest impression on me while in Philly at 12th St. Gym, Chick and Stephanie.<br>

<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;">So after I made the last post I tripped over an very powerful video. About 2 min into it I almost turned it off. The woman presenting this Ted Talk, <font color="#808080" style="line-height: 1.3em;">Mel Robbins</font>, was seriously rubbing me the wrong way. My mind was coming up with a lot of judgements about her, many of which may or may not be true, but I'm so glad I realized that silly shit was irrelevant to the amazing knowledge she was sharing. She is as<font color="#808080"><strong> Queen of Swords</strong></font> as anyone I've ever seen. She is a public speaker and blogger, criminal attorney, mother of three, wife and relationship and career expert. (You can see why I decided to tell my critical board member in my brain to go play in traffic) She is an extremely direct, curt, to the point, in your face, unapologetic woman of action. I'm lucky to have found her powerful voice that cuts through the bullshit and tells it like it is. The next time I say "I'm fine" I'll see this outspoken blonde and hear her words, "...get outta your head! You would not hang out with people who talk to you thway you talk to yourself!" How synchronistic the Universe sent me this after what I just posted! I hope this helps any of you who check it out.<br>

<p> This morning's card from my Earth Magick Oracle was <font color="#00cbff"><strong>Island</strong> -</font> <font color="#00cbff">Solitude</font>. It's kinda perfect because yesterday marked the very first day I've been all alone since... Holy fucking sheep shit. Since May 30. <strong><font face="Trebuchet MS">OH MY FUCKING GOD IVE NOT BEEN BY MYSELF SINCE MAY 30?!?! 7 WEEKS TO THE DAY OF CONSTANT INTERACTION WITH OTHERS EVERY SINGLE DAY??! </font></strong>Sweet Jesus it's a wonder I'm not in a mental institution with Haldol running through an IV drip! I had no idea it'd been this long. As an empath that's some very dangerous behavior! No wonder I've been depressed and anxious and had extreme back pain, sleepless nights and feelings of impending doom! I've got all of my own shit plus that of all the people around me that I'm absorbing NON STOP. Leaving NOLA was traumatic and that day was so fucking painful and stressful I had a total melt down. Then got in a car to drive 16 hours up to Chicago because my wife's (my best friend Michaelle) father died. Oh to hell with it, I'm not going to rehash all the details. It was some bullshit. It also was wonderful because it made me, Michaelle and our friend Wendy even closer. But then I had to fly to Philly to deal with some extremely stressful things within a 9 hour period and then get on a flight to London, followed by a 3 1/2 hour bus ride. I'm here visiting my amazing friend Karen. Her 14 yr old lives here, and for the first 6 weeks of my stay, her 21 yr old son and his girlfriend (lovely people!) lived here as well. Then I find out my dog died. Jesus on a bicycle. </p>
<p>All I can say is, did you ever see the movie Falling Down by Michael Douglas? I deserve a fucking medal for not going on a mass killing spree. And a cookie. From the Double Tree! In Paris! While wearing a pair of boots by Lanvin! Preferably these:</p>

<p>So last week the older two moved out and into a fantastic new home. And Sunday Karen and the youngest went on vacation to Thialand. So this is the second day in approximately <u>51 days that I've been alone</u>. Mother of God.</p>

<p> This card shows a green expanse of solitary land. Some parts are a smooth carpet of moss-like grass, others are rock formations that form a peak leading to the night sky. The island is surrounded by a body of water that is as perfectly smooth and still as polished glass, reflecting the land and the sky. One side of the island is shrouded in darkness, the other in light because a large portion of the sky is covered by ominous dark clouds. Yet from the opposite side of the sky a silent veil of moonlight casts an ethereal glow. In the center of the island is a single tree. It looks like a mighty oak, but it has a gorgeous canopy of amethyst blooms. There is nothing at all scary of loney about this image, just the beauty of peaceful stillness. This tree has been left unattended by humans and it thrives. The purple flowers make me think of the crown and third eye chakras. The moonlight makes me understand the importance of quite reflection as it shines through the dense stagnation and congestion of the thick clouds and onto the pristine water.</p>
<p>I decide to do something I've been feeling pulled to do since I worked with Kiki as my life coach (God I miss her!) but have not done. I have taken a vow of silence today. At least until 6PM. If you know me, you know what a challenge this is LOL! Now since there is nobody here but the three cats, it sound super easy. But it's been four hours now, and doing this with purpose has a very different feel to it. A very good feel. And Goddess knows I am that crazy bitch who freely talks to herself and the cats lol! </p>
<p>I intended to ask tarot why card will help me and then do a shuffle to specifically ask which of the court cards would be whispering messages to my mind. Two cards fell out, one a court card. <strong><font color="#00cbff">The 5 and Page of Swords</font></strong>. Damn. "Extreme negative self-talk" is what I instantly heard. The ultra critical self-destructive voice of ego that is nothing more than a fucking bully who points out everything I'm doing wrong, have done wrong, will do wrong, how fucked up things are and always will be. "You type too damn slow! You need to start making some money. You still haven't called your mother in a week? You've gained damn near 10lbs ya know. You should walk today, but you probably won't." Yada yada fucking yada. </p>

<p>This very direct <font color="#00cbff">Pg of Sw</font>, giving his completely unaffected stare, offers me a choice delivered on a lapis lazuli colored cushion (pausing now to go get that stone and keep it with me today...) Continue listening to that shit or not. We can't kill off that member of the board of directors in our dome, but we can tune him out by tuning into more positive voices. I'm finding out how to do that by so many of the YouTube channels I subscribe to a few of which include anything by Abraham-Hicks and Tony Robbins. Another way is yoga each day for the past 8 days. I also will start reading a book one of my new British friends let me borrow that addresses this issue and teaches how to manage it. The air aspect of both cards also address the thoughts I've had about looking up videos on breathing exercise and mindfullness. I wonder if I communicate telepathically with any of the cats??<br></p>

I'm so fortunate to be able to have this opportunity. I've met some wonderful people and gotten a chance to do some very cool things. In spite of that, I've been pretty far down in the dumps lately due to my dog Selene transitioning to the next existence only two weeks after my arrival. That has caused the ongoing issue of back pain to be exacerbated. It's been hard for me to find any motivation which feeds the depression and anxiety. Ugh. Then enter the guilt of being a house guest trying to fake happiness. Just some really low vibration bullshit, ya know. But I've been trying to raise it in a variety of ways. The yoga is helping a LOT. I've been doing an oracle card each day and today I got <font color="#98cbff"><strong>New Moon</strong> - Promise. </font></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAVIe9tEFF1GYu6FvW8j2Cq1AA9ZcnZeZEECN8WU4zyYfJ6kzn8ON_2Bi28xbkGBK7B66WuC-3do4E1IF2QzWjPuJxHf3YPDmQGu4da1XpJUjoSJDYkejYIEJaB5mHKav-WB4TZl0jKzU/s1024/Photo%25252020140721231343.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAVIe9tEFF1GYu6FvW8j2Cq1AA9ZcnZeZEECN8WU4zyYfJ6kzn8ON_2Bi28xbkGBK7B66WuC-3do4E1IF2QzWjPuJxHf3YPDmQGu4da1XpJUjoSJDYkejYIEJaB5mHKav-WB4TZl0jKzU/s500/Photo%25252020140721231343.jpg" id="blogsy-1405980881109.2554" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="667"></a></div><p>We see a couple sitting arm-in-arm on a bench watching the sunset and give off the last of its vibrant golden rays. As it melts into a large river or lake, hues of pink-ish lavender introduce the coming of twilight and allow the silver sliver of the Goddess in Her new moon phase and the tineist point of light of the evening star which is actually the planet <font color="#98cbff">Venus</font>, goddess of love and beauty. The new moon is a time to start new projects, to put our energy into any new ideas or old ones we haven't done anything about but still feel drawn to. A lunar cycle is 28 days. This makes me think of the 30 Day Yoga and Plank Chalenges I've started already. There are a couple more that I'm drawn to and this tells me to go for those as well. Each of these challenges are like promises I make to honor and assist myself each day, and they promise to bring about results. As I write this it is during the waning moon, so the new moon won't be until next Monday the 29th. Which is funny because the following day I will be catching the train to spend a week in the seaside town of Mevagissey, so a new journey to visit new friends ushered in by the new moon sounds like this promises to be a good experience. I really like how the creator of this deck, Steven Farmer explains the meaning of the new moon's promise: </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLUaosi0SnMSswYGTVHiVQyBg2WnWfcS_G2uJ3ggvjukbymVA_4E9wXMjf21eBokIw6GqprFQlFGU8XbFSFeqQw7MwrZA8kCg8hDr0Ryncm6byOh5_hMDHl1TCKAK-0dDA9I1-sjKY6UU/s1024/Photo%25252020140721231343.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLUaosi0SnMSswYGTVHiVQyBg2WnWfcS_G2uJ3ggvjukbymVA_4E9wXMjf21eBokIw6GqprFQlFGU8XbFSFeqQw7MwrZA8kCg8hDr0Ryncm6byOh5_hMDHl1TCKAK-0dDA9I1-sjKY6UU/s500/Photo%25252020140721231343.jpg" id="blogsy-1405980881078.993" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="667"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWHFqVqusgmmAiY_gBIHDT8YEVkoHQOfKS7sm-EZjeulrAFPLgbAi1ElbcCaDjCTjxZK_U5JymwZkdpzCVoTw6Gw7dyM-RCUqQ_0ws4Rdrmmv4WN7A09xmG2oDaeu5Om-8j1UFhHNTLVQ/s1024/Photo%25252020140721231344.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWHFqVqusgmmAiY_gBIHDT8YEVkoHQOfKS7sm-EZjeulrAFPLgbAi1ElbcCaDjCTjxZK_U5JymwZkdpzCVoTw6Gw7dyM-RCUqQ_0ws4Rdrmmv4WN7A09xmG2oDaeu5Om-8j1UFhHNTLVQ/s500/Photo%25252020140721231344.jpg" id="blogsy-1405980881087.554" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="667"></a></div><p> </p><p>I also asked the tarot which card would help me to feel encouraged and inspired today. It gave me the <strong><font color="#98cbff">Page of Cups </font></strong>(Legacy of the Divine by U.S Games) If I write out the lessons for the lessons for the King and Queen of Cups today, I will have finished the majors, wands and cups suits. That will make me feel a sense of accomplishment. I also heard in my head to be open and accept any loving messages, allow them to brighten my day and inspire me. Be gentle with my inner 7 yr old, she's super sensitive. Judging that fact will be toxic.

I'd only heard excerpts before, but today listing to the entire thing, I learn how he explains the connection between Oshun, Aphrodite, Venus and Laxshmi (who I am so be,see as to have come to me and offer her assistance as well last week!) Of the many things he speaks on, he introduced me to <a href="http://youtu.be/oVxj0fKzqBo" target="_blank" title="">laughter yoga</a>. Who knew!?</p><p>As I started to type this post, the most perfect song ever came on. It's an old 80's tune I love, <a href="http://youtu.be/7m94ip38UKs" target="_blank" title="">Shout To the Top</a>. I never really paid attention to the lyrics until today. The music is the happiest that speaks to exactly where my spirit is today and where I want it to be. So before I could write this, I decided to stop and honor mySelf and Oshun by dancing and sing it like my life depended on it. Damn did it make me laugh and feel better! I'm most appreciative she made me turn on the radio app only a few moments before hand. </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="500" height="305" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/7m94ip38UKs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><blockquote><p>Shout To The Top Lyrics</p><p>from The Sound of the Style Council</p><p> </p><p>I was half in mind, I was half in need</p><p>And as the rain came down</p><p>I dropped to my knees and I prayed</p><p>I said, "Oh heavenly thing, please cleanse my soul</p><p>Ive seen all on offer and Im not impressed at all"</p><p>I was halfway home, I was half insane</p><p>And every shop window I looked in just looked the same</p><p>I said, "Now send me a sign to save my life</p><p>Cause at this moment in time there is nothing certain in</p><p>These days of mine"</p><p>Ysee its a frightening thing when it dawns upon you</p><p>That I know as much as the day I was born</p><p>And though I wasnt asked, I might as well stay</p><p>And promise myself each and every day</p><p>That when youre knocked on your back and your lifes a flop</p><p>And when youre down on the bottom theres nothing else</p><p>But to shout to the top, well we're gonna shout to the top</p><p>We're gonna shout to the top, we're gonna shout to the top</p><p>Hey, we're gonna shout to the top</p><p>Ysee its a frightening thing when it dawns upon you</p><p>That I know as much as the day I was born</p><p>And though I wasnt asked, I might as well stay</p><p>And promise myself each and every day</p><p>We're gonna shout to the top, shout</p><p>We're gonna shout to the top, shout</p><p>We're gonna shout to the top, shout</p><p>We're gonna shout to the top, shout</p><p>We're gonna shout to the top, shout</p><p>We're gonna shout to the top, shout</p><p>So when youre knocked on your back and your lifes a flop</p><p>And when youre down on the bottom theres nothing else</p><p>But to shout to the top, well, we're gonna shout to the top</p><p>We're gonna shout to the top, we're gonna shout to the top</p><p>And when youre knocked on your back and your lifes a flop</p><p>And when youre down on the bottom theres nothing else</p><p>But to shout to the top, we're gonna shout to the top</p><p>We're gonna shout to the top, we're gonna shout to the top</p><p>Hey, yeah, shout to the top</p><p>Songwriters</p><p>WELLER, PAUL JOHN</p><p>Published by</p><p>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</p><p>Read more: The Style Council - Shout To The Top Lyrics | MetroLyrics </p></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><header style="box-sizing: border-box;"><h1 style="box-sizing: border-box;

I asked my guides to just lead me to wherever I was supposed to go. I found myself in an accupunturist's office by the end of the of the evening. I felt like hell and was in so much pain it was ridiculous. Given the past 7 years of working toward healing 9 damaged disks in my spine, please understand how much trust this took!!! In mySelf, my guides and Dr. Wang, who I just randomly found. Long story short, it was a very positive experience. Of the many things he advised me to do was to go back to yoga everyday. (Because my intuition, my former trainer and dear friend who did SO much to bring me healing over th years, and the tarot had never suggested the importance of this...) I knew beyond a doubt I'd get the 10 of wands/swords/the Hanged Man. Here is how this will benefit me.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><p>Mind -<font color="#ff6800"><strong> 6 of wands</strong></font> - Those neurotransmitters will start firing properly and I can tell my old buddy Depression and Anxiety to miss where the sun don't shine! I will have more clarity and confidence and see myself as the amazing woman I am. Go me.</p><p>Body - <font color="#7f0085"><strong>Magician</strong></font> - (I chose to place this card at the bottom.) I will feel so much stronger and physically adept. This speaks to the mind/body/spirit/heart connection that Eastern philosophy addresses. To treat the entire being, unlike how in Western medicine the focus is symptomatic treatment which is so fucking foolish. But that generates more $,€, and £ baby. I think this card shows I'm in very capable hands with Dr. Wang. I am excited to be able to show him that I've progressed when I return next month. </p><p>Soul -<strong><font color="#98cbff"> The Empress III</font></strong> - (placed in the middle, where my soul is) My central focus needs to be on self-care. I have such a tendency to nurture everyone else but me. I'm instantly drawn to the swan and her cygnet. I had an amazing experience this past Sunday where I got to see Her Magesty's Royal Swan Warden tag swans! The purpose is to asses the health of the swans and ensure their population increases. They are gorgeous creatures and extremely protective of their young. Witnessing this was pure medicine for my soul. And yoga will be as well.</p><p>Bottom line - <strong><font color="#993400">10 of wands</font></strong> - Lol, and there it is. One of my primary indicators of back pain and accupressure. being a wand this shows me that yoga will help aliviate stress due to the fact that I feel the weight of the world is upon me most days. I'll be getting my energy/qui moving and feel far less lethargic and more revitalized. </p><p>Here is the nice YouTube lady I chose to follow for the<a href="http://youtu.be/_wJtQjQ4HI8" target="_blank" title=""> 30 day yoga</a> if you'd like to try it as well and a video on proper form for <a href="http://youtu.be/VWh2uuUqxDE" target="_blank" title="">planking</a>. </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0b5NVvMFEZLYexF_4BN6cs5lOM_IYwOw4EE4p636aMNi-uSJOXMxjvlSwkOsuglNKFCSF2SiPq6Oqzb0C8Aw3rZ-UMK5VNkBug5P9winP8K7A4Bbh661bGR69X4UOAplpFTRtL20h0ao/s1024/Photo%25252020140716001207.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0b5NVvMFEZLYexF_4BN6cs5lOM_IYwOw4EE4p636aMNi-uSJOXMxjvlSwkOsuglNKFCSF2SiPq6Oqzb0C8Aw3rZ-UMK5VNkBug5P9winP8K7A4Bbh661bGR69X4UOAplpFTRtL20h0ao/s500/Photo%25252020140716001207.jpg" id="blogsy-1405465939764.6287" class="aligncenter" width="500" height="667" alt=""></a></div><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;" id="blogsy_footer"><a href="http://blogsyapp.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogsyapp.com/images/blogsy_footer_icon.png" alt="Posted with Blogsy" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;" width="20" height="20" />Posted with Blogsy</a></div>VioletteKitty504http://www.blogger.com/profile/04735184800663484375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900695229094515256.post-79664931338003409702014-07-15T18:05:00.001-04:002014-07-15T18:05:04.242-04:00Lifting the Fog <p> I'm pleased to report that my tarot course curriculum is coming along! Not as quickly as I'd like for it to, but it is coming. I've written out the lesson plans for all of the majors, the wands suit, and most of the cups. Today was even slower progress than usual and it has me super frustrated. So I decided to ask th cards how I can improve my progress. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifys8eQ1_9wGQQ2pb3nxEyao09Ci1-nOBIMARO11pApHW6iyHc0SdoQrZUs19DDAs6v2Y119T22aSEJfY46h9f2r5CCIbi0bWIdhpe5ZFJyPrUlygYUoLYVwgQy1ciq-CNxnmSm6EWAwM/s1024/Photo%25252020140715230435.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifys8eQ1_9wGQQ2pb3nxEyao09Ci1-nOBIMARO11pApHW6iyHc0SdoQrZUs19DDAs6v2Y119T22aSEJfY46h9f2r5CCIbi0bWIdhpe5ZFJyPrUlygYUoLYVwgQy1ciq-CNxnmSm6EWAwM/s500/Photo%25252020140715230435.jpg" id="blogsy-1405461903135.7788" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="672"></a></div><p>I first asked my <strong>Earth Magic Oracle</strong> what the energy of the day would be - <font color="#aaaaaa"><strong>Fog </strong>(veiled) </font>- Well that explains how I'm feeling quite perfectly. As I see the sun's rays shining through and burning it away I realize that I just have to be patient and accept I feel confused and like I can't see where this is going to go, if it will go anywhere. The way will become more clear as I go through the day. Find things to remain positive and excited.</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbfRgMDE7TzjXGrcdTB_ivb282DYC7ZxQU88Ll372UiXIVSg6QN1GNToPsxEQ01SsgJ0n06R7K2vLd8q5oNXPPbi0rfSRkgzZFoROS67YHycpjfaOZbtD9dnHX2jd3F3w1AO0qpoZkJew/s1024/Photo%25252020140715230436.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbfRgMDE7TzjXGrcdTB_ivb282DYC7ZxQU88Ll372UiXIVSg6QN1GNToPsxEQ01SsgJ0n06R7K2vLd8q5oNXPPbi0rfSRkgzZFoROS67YHycpjfaOZbtD9dnHX2jd3F3w1AO0qpoZkJew/s500/Photo%25252020140715230436.jpg" id="blogsy-1405461903062.1558" class="aligncenter" width="500" height="667" alt=""></a></div><p><u>Jumper</u> - <strong><font color="#098000">The Queen of Pentacles</font></strong> - My personal significator jumped out as I was shuffling. This is such a beautiful version of it. I need to stay true to mySelf as I work on this project. It's so important for a Capricorn to maintain a solid sense of integrity with anything that their name is associated. I'm drawn to her plumeria flowers which represent beauty, charm and grace, three traits very much associated with Capricorn females. The beautiful pentacle shines like a star at her third eye chakra. All of this tells me to be patient with myself, be true to myself, and that will allow me to connect with Divine energy and convey messages from Spirit with clarity. This Queen also bodes quite well for the success of any business venture. </p><p>1.<u> What will help me</u>? - <strong><font color="#3131a0">The Chariot VII</font></strong> - I need to see this as already accomplished. It is done. Like Jesse Jackson used to say, "Keep your eyes on the prize." This is really reinforcing what the Fog card said. When I get frustrated with myself, I get of course. Negative self-talk brings me to a halt. Some days I may make more progress than others, some days less. That's not what matters, only that I stay focused. I think creating a template for how I write each lesson will do that for me as well as my students as they work through each lesson. I also need to know when I need to take a break and do it without guilt. Just like when driving. If you're too tired, pull over and get some fresh air, a snack, take a nap. Then get back on the road feeling refreshed in stead of lethargic and pressured. </p><p>2. <u>What's hindering me</u>? - <strong><font color="#993400">5 of wands</font></strong> - Waaayyyy too much negative self-talk is just wearing me the hell out! I won't let my students beat up on themselves, so why allow it in my own head?! I'm using my own energy as a weapon against me. The only thing I'm creating is unnecessary drama,mkilling my spirit and getting me no where fast. </p><p>3.<u> Bottom line</u> - <strong><font color="#00326a">3 of swords</font></strong> - I'm still so heartbroken about Selene's death. It is really fucking with my head. I swear everywhere I look I see people with their dogs. I've got to work through the grief, anger and guilt. Maybe I will dedicate the course to her. I won't go into what all that means right now because I don't feel like crying but I can see where it can help me to heal. I think this is the most beautiful 3ofSw of any deck and it really does capture the essence of the cards meaning. </p><p>This reading really touched on the issues I need to address and how to do that. I feel a lot more inspired now, thank you very much! And I love the gorgeous, vibrant jewel tones of both of these decks. The sunlight on Fog really draws my eye back to the QofP and the torche on the Chariot. I have to remain an open vessel for Spirit to work through me. Ashé. </p><p> </p><div style="text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;" id="blogsy_footer"><a href="http://blogsyapp.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogsyapp.com/images/blogsy_footer_icon.png" alt="Posted with Blogsy" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;" width="20" height="20" />Posted with Blogsy</a></div>VioletteKitty504http://www.blogger.com/profile/04735184800663484375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900695229094515256.post-22618530215674907162014-06-23T20:13:00.001-04:002014-06-23T20:13:56.093-04:00Should I Teach Tarot?<p> I've been considering teaching a tarot course for a very long time. I asked the cards today about that.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7EgyqnzA8HEon29W1zRnNE7fPpUiRdrwgvFqgSk3k9Id7lTKIUu8j4WGmIsTrOrGsa1bwdxoqLjCFZVf9u280s5Qp7-coMC_VyTHiZdyjySOnjfnL4UyhizkOV34vMh0NhZQJftHbrEo/s1024/Photo%25252020140624011245.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7EgyqnzA8HEon29W1zRnNE7fPpUiRdrwgvFqgSk3k9Id7lTKIUu8j4WGmIsTrOrGsa1bwdxoqLjCFZVf9u280s5Qp7-coMC_VyTHiZdyjySOnjfnL4UyhizkOV34vMh0NhZQJftHbrEo/s500/Photo%25252020140624011245.jpg" id="blogsy-1403568836986.4907" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="375"></a></div><p> 1.<strong> </strong><u>General energy surrounding the matter</u> - <strong><font color="#098000">7 of pentacles</font></strong> - I've been waiting a long time to see this through and actually manifest as a reality and the time is nigh. I've been through a whole lot of shit, but that will only make the course that much more well-rounded, informative and meaningful to myself and my students. This has the potential to profitable, though it may be a bit slow going initially. Don't give up! It will also lead to numerous other opportunities I can't yet see. Don't be upset with myself for not doing it sooner, it'll prove worth the wait. But it's time to roll up my sleeves, put actual time and planning and do the work necessary to get the result I want. The rewards will not just be financial gain, but a sting sense of pride and accomplishment. (I started working on the course this afternoon *smile*)</p><p>2.<u> Why should I do it?</u> -<strong><font color="#098000"> 9 of pentacles</font></strong> - Self. Sufficient. Woman! This completely Amen's everything the <font color="#098000">7ofP</font> just said with neon. I'm also getting that my spirits are poised and ready to assist me. </p><p>3. <u>Why I shouldn't do it?</u> - <strong><font color="#0000ff">The Star XVII</font></strong> - Not one good reason not to! So tell the voice of self doubt that is so ready to point out all may flaws and past failures to kiss where the sun don't shine! I have so many angles surrounding me and supporting me it's ridiculous. If I don't do this, I'll be doing such a great dis-service to mySelf as well as others exponentially. Touching touching people's lives through tarot is my dream, my passion. I have the potentially to be every bit as successful, inspirational, and healing as the people I most admire. My fear has always been that it would take a miracle - well here it is delivered with sparkling pixie dust and the assistance of an entire Legion. I also see this as confirmation that I will incorporate what I am learning through my crystal healing course I'm taking from<a href="http://hibiscusmooncrystalacademy.com" target="_blank" title=""> Hibiscus Moon</a> and yet further confirmation that I am to take an angel healing course (Doreen Virture?? Mayyybe. Maybe through someone else. Either way, do it.) </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji_agCfLuvZJoE-ukE-Pcm0M4fZcZAPO0JpIUrUTntiyRXjpcRrL0SN_dVU4Fzvaai_jYklNkTC4LavmjrbCBx4Nd_enYljJKG8jP0DQVGdiWR4ORX8A3njrK9FagJorO3XnWgNTNfyh0/s1024/Photo%25252020140624011245.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji_agCfLuvZJoE-ukE-Pcm0M4fZcZAPO0JpIUrUTntiyRXjpcRrL0SN_dVU4Fzvaai_jYklNkTC4LavmjrbCBx4Nd_enYljJKG8jP0DQVGdiWR4ORX8A3njrK9FagJorO3XnWgNTNfyh0/s500/Photo%25252020140624011245.jpg" id="blogsy-1403568837005.5557" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="375"></a></div><p>I pulled a card from my <strong>Earth Magic Oracle</strong> by Dr. Steven Farmer to ask how I can best tap into the energies and desires above.

I made went to great lengths to make sure my dog was well cared for while I'm gone. Long story short, I found out she hung herself. How you ask? Good question. Because that would mean I'd know why the fuck she was outside in the summer in New Orleans in the first damn place after making it abundantly clear she could not be since she has a thick, all black coat. And more over, why in the hell was she on a got damn leash, tied up when she has two very large backyards to fun and play in since my neighbor opened the fence between our yards!? I don't feel like talking about it at all, so I won't go into anymore detail except to say that I had my ex boyfriend who is still a very close friend (if you follow this blog, yes, Joshua and I are great friends lmao. Whoda thunkit!?) go around to check on her since my neighbor was ignoring my phone calls. In the middle of lying saying she was fine, another neighbor comes up and says, "yeah, that's so messed up that dog hung herself". </p><p>So this card, <strong><font color="#808080">The Hanged Man XII</font></strong>, that I've never had a hard time with is now what the Devil and the Tower once used to be for me, a the worst card in the deck to get. Right now it reads like the two of them plus the 9 of swords, 10 of swords, 3 of swords, Judgement and Death. I want the rename it "The Hanged Innocent Belgian Shepherd" . I see the coins falling out of his hand. I've lost something more precious than gold. I thought she was in safe hands. Nope. She's in the ground and the afterlife. I pray she can forgive me. And that I can too. </p><p> </p><p>I love you Selene. I'm so very sorry.</p><p> </p><p>Like that can fix anything.

<p> Aaannndd...</p>
<p>We're back! Damn, when I fall off, I fall OFF!!! Six months to the day! Anyway, let's just get to the point. If you don't follow the girls who do the <a href="http://firstearthtarot.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/litha-blog-hop-master-list.html" target="_blank" title="">Tarot Blog Hop</a>, you may want to check it out. I haven't participated in a long time, but I still support them. They do posts based on the Celtic Wheel of the Year. Today is <strong><font color="#ffff00">Litha or Midsummer,</font></strong> the longest day of the year when the sun shines the longest it will the entire year. The topic for the hop was "How can I bring more joy into my life?" It's so weird to have the words joy and tarot in the same sentence and not have Arwen saying it lol! </p>
<p> This is a damn good question since I just found out 3 days ago that the "safe, responsible, reliable" neighbor I left my beloved 1 1/2 year old Belgian Shepherd Selene with wasn't such a good choice. I've been gone two weeks. She's dead. I have no words to explain what I feel. Before I start throwing things and crying uncontrollably, I'll leave that topic alone.</p>
<p>So here's shag tarot has to say about how I can find some joy. Although I kinda feel like saying fuck joy and anything to do with it. *sigh*</p>

<p>1. <u>Where can I find joy?</u> - <strong><font color="#0dffff">Queen of Cups</font></strong> - By the sea. I'm currently in the UK, close to the coast, and have already been to the water and will spend a week there soon. What's funny is I haven't used this deck in over two years and it is one of the ones I brought with me from he US. And it is the one I brought when I wentt to the beach a few weeks ago. And guess which card I took pictures of lol. I felt so much LaSirene energy and I have heard her gently whisper in my ear today. And here she is. I also feel like this her reminding me of how much joy music brings me, but as I look at the fish, that she wants me to dance. I stopped my morning therapy of listening and dancing to Pharelle's "Happy" at least three times first thing in the morning. Need to get back to that This is also a reminded to meditate. </p>

<p>2. <u style="line-height: 1.3em;">What will help me to find joy?</u> -<strong style="line-height: 1.3em;"><font color="#7f0085"> Page of Swords-</font></strong> As I was shuffling I hear "the anise is by writing/blogging" and here we have a true representation of communication and done in a very raw, speak with no filter kind of a way. And that is the whole point of this blog. I created it as a place where I can speak from a place that is unfiltered and raw. That's why I do nothing at all to promote it. I don't want to be concerned about what I say or who it will affect. It's my haven to say what the fuck I want of need to. It's how I cleaf my head. Very swords-like indeed.</p>
<p>As I look at this boy offering me two swords presented on a beautiful cobalt cushion, one silver the other gold, I'm reminded that happiness IS a choice. Is a difficult one as of late, but I know what happens if I choice not to actively pursue it. It ain't pretty. </p>

<p>3. <u>What will hold me back fr</u><u>om it? </u>- <strong><font color="#ff9a00">Strenght VIII</font></strong> - Ha, this was the very last card that I drew when shit just got ridiculously crazy and I stopped posting. I'll need to go back and see what it had to say back then.<br></p>
<p>This card has so much solar energy to it, it's Leo. Not recognizing just how strong I am, how much shit I've dealt with and overcome and not giving mySelf credit for diminishes my power. I need to channel Leo energy that radiates pride, confidence. Think Mick Jagger, Lucille Ball and President Obama and his pimp-ass walk. Stop thinking small, embrace feminine, feline power like on the card.</p>
