Gitter dun!

I recently got the Dark Angels Tarot and let me tell you, not only do I love it but my guides are doing backflips! I will have to do an interview with the deck later today. Right now it's hard because in addition to the usual problem of not having a scanner, now I have the additional issue of being kinda far out so my cell reception is all but non-existent, so I can't usually upload the pics from my phone. *sigh*

So I do asked my guides what they wanted me to know today. These cards really seem to want me to do the Rockstar reading when I use them (center card is the focus, the other two support it). I got the 3 of pentacles, Ace of Swords, and 10 of swords. I laid down the 3ofP before laying the other two. The first thing I noticed was the 3 pentacles are at the top of the card and that made me hear Snoop Dogg saying, "I got my mind on my money and my money on my mind". This card is about the completion of a project and the recognition earned from doing so. This hits a few points for me. I needed to take care of some financial stuff, and had just done so before I did the cards. The angel on here has started a sculpture, but to me it doesn't look finished. And the lady in the background is like she is saying, when are yo going to finish because I want to purchase it! I need to finish setting up the FB account for Creole Moon Tarot and send out Twitter invites. Ferol over at Living Tarot just gave me a huge compliment the other night on the comment I wrote on her nightly FB question. I've had some very pressing shit to worry about as of late, like, a place to live and all, so this has made me more scattered that the usual (God and Goddess, scary!)  I need to master the art of not getting so damn side-tracked. I am the worst at not finishing projects.
The AofSw (and aside for Rhiannon Faulkner's, this deck has my favorite now) has been on my mind a lot lately. I need to do a post just on it. But this cracked me up and then even more so when I pulled the 10ofSw! I mean, can you get much more of a neon sign that you need there are things that may be very challenging or scary, but I need to see to the end, start to finish! In stead of the usual dread that goes with the 10ofSw, in this reading it just said what one of my dearest friends says when he completes a task, "Done and done!" These two cards show cutting the bullshit and getting it over and done with so you can rest without stressing that there is still more to do. Get'er dun!

LivingTarot: Moving Me Forward/Towing Me Back...

I have gotten more than I could have ever imagined, from doing the exercises that Ferol posts each night!  Here is what tonight's question was:

SAILING ME FORWARD TOWING ME BACK TAROT~ Shuffle while thinking "What force is sailing me forward? What force is towing me back?" Draw one card for each. Name your deck, your two cards, and tell us what you make of the answer you got. Do you agree? Is this true? What question would you ask next after this answer? Given that neither idea may really apply to your life, see what happens anyway.

I have only certain decks that I read reversed (Rx) cards. And I have't done it in a few years. But I decided to challenge myself a bit tonight, so I used my Fantastical Tarot. This is what I've got so far:

• Living Tarot Great answers! I will point out that sailing you forward is not quite the same thing as towing you forward. Those are two very different things, LOL! As is the difference between towing you back and holding you back. Those are also very different things, Celeste. Ponder that, in the spirit of fun, and thanks for joining me out here~

  Fantastical Tarot~ FORWARD- Rx 4 of Wands: There is a unicorn in a grassy valley on a beautiful starlit night with a full moon. For quite sometime I had lost the drive to create magick in my life. I've stopped having any dreams about my future because I've felt so stuck and didn't dare believe any vision of hope could come true because I have had a lot of major disappointments. But I felt a major energy shift from a place very deep inside, today actually. And that shift based in a strong desire to commit to working at creating a life worth celebrating is what is moving me forward. BACK- Rx Knight of Pentacles- Mkay, about that issue with disappointment...lol! I hold myself back because I can be so impatient and don't want to have to wait to get concrete, tangible results! When I don't get them rather quickly, I loose focus on the ultimate goal. I even trick myself into thinking I didn't even want it anyway LOL!!! (what is wrong with me!?! LOL LOL)

  Sailing forward~ a force which carries us flowingly, easily. Towing us back~ pulling us slowly back through territory we have already covered. Think sailboats and tugboats, my friends, and neither of these boats are YOU! What force is sailing you forward? What force is towing you back? I mention this because we tend to think we are doing it all, and this exercise is about a force, like the difference between the Majors and the Minors. All of your answers are good and correct~ no one is wrong~ I just want you all to understand the purpose of the exercise. ;)

  Living Tarot So in mine, the force is an Ace, it is bigger than me, and helping me by taking me to love being offered. The Four of Cups Reversed is an impulse, maybe one which all people feel right now, which tows me backward to love I can't get.

  •  I just remembered this is a two part question, wht question would I ask next? "How can I enhance the force sailing me forward/how can I transform the force that is keeping me stuck? (Am I on the right track with this part??)

    Yes of course, Krysten, all of it is correct if it is what your mind and spirit generate toward the question. Don't let my clarifications intimidate you. Think of me as a kindly old fairy leading you toward Tarot wonderland, HA HA! I am not sure that the towing backward force is a stuck thing at all. It may be a transformative force on its own, more or less contrasted by the sailing forward force. I don't think we should judge these as negative and positive. I got a lot of good mileage out of attempting to resolve old loves that did not work. That force keeps pulling me back. But the force of love offered freely keeps sailing me forward. See? So your next question would be the one you feel like asking. So ask the one you thought of, and see what happens, is what I would say.

    Living Tarot Think of your good answers provided earlier in terms of flow. Does that help? You said really good stuff, as did Celeste. I can relate to both of you! Follow your own good ideas here. Just ponder my words, and use them or don't. mwah!

    Thank you a million times over for your patience and encouragement fairy God-Mother lol! You've helped me grow so much as a reader in the short time since I found your site and I am grateful beyond words for these exercises and for you sharing your insight!! Muwah*** :D For the last question I got: Enhance the Flow: Rx 2 of Cups... I think this speaks to the initial question about what is sailing me forward when I said committing to creating a life worth celebrating. I think I can enhance this by not harshly judging the side of myself that I call GrumpleStilskin. Her intention was to show me the things I don't want to create in my life. But I do need to divorce myself from her ideas that no longer serve me. ---- As for how to transform what's towing me back" KIng of Wands.... I may get better results if I remain motivated and am inspired to accomplish whatever I set my mind to by reminding myself that I am worthy of succeeding at making my dreams come true. Maybe if I make post-it notes and put them everywhere or Mod-Podge pictures that show what I want to accomplish I can keep that passion I loose sight of.
