This card is from the Hanson-Roberts deck, which is the very first tarot deck I ever owned. I've drawn the Ace of Pentacles. A beautiful pink and purple sky gives way to a huge golden pentacle, surrounded by white lillies with bright green stems. All if this gives me the feeling of a bright future on the financial front. The thing I often get when I see the star of the pentacle on the AofP is that keeping priorities in perspective by honoring Spirit and my own personal spirit is important. I'd also say getting the Ace of Earth on the second day on the new year and just after the New Moon in Capricorn is an auspicious sign. And today was one of th best days I've had financially in a very long time and for that I am most grateful! Maybe because of the catchy little tune I've been singing that I heard in a prosperity meditation, "Money is comin' to me!" The great thing about the AofP is it bodes well for creating security and stability that has far reaching effects. Thank the Goddess!
Someone gave me this deck, Nefertari's Tarot, almost a year ago and althought it is very beautiful, it's just never spoken to me. But for some reason it did just now. I've drawn The Lovers VI. We see a couple in embracing as they gaze into one another's eyes. It makes me think of the scene from the old school Batman with Michael Keaton and Michelle Pfiefer where they are dancing and realize who the other one's alter ego is. In the background one of my favorite songs plays, "Face To Face" by Siouxsie and the Banshees. I don't have a lover in my life currently. I have thought about two ex-boyfriends in particular a lot today. I suppose this card is telling me to make choices I can live with. There is no "perfect" way of doing things. But remembering that certain choices do have consequences would serve me well. I need to remain honest with myself about who I am and what is important to me and not compromise that for anyone else's issues. Maybe that way both my head and heart can find contentment.
Face to face, my lovely foe
Mouth to mouth, raining heaven's blows Hand on heart, tic tac toe Under the stars, naked as we flow
Cheek to cheek, the bitter sweet Commit your crime in your deadly time It's too divine, I want to bend I want this bliss but something says I must resist
Another life, another time We're Siamese twins, writhing, intertwined Face to face, no telling lies The masks, they slide to reveal a new disguise
You never can win, it's the state I'm in This danger thrills and my conflict kills They say, follow your heart, follow it through But how can you, when it's split in two?
And you'll never know You'll never know You'll never know
One more kiss before we die Face to face and dream of flying Who are you? Who am I? Wind in wings, two angels falling
To die like this with a last kiss It's falsehood's flame and it's a crying shame Face to face, the passions breathe I hate to stay, but then I hate to leave
And you'll never know No, you'll never know No, no, you'll never know
You'll never know You'll never know You'll never know
No, no, you'll never know No, no, you'll never know
You'll never know You'll never know You'll never know
Ok, I can't make this up y'all. I shuffled and got the 2 of pentacles. I shuffled again asking for more info and got the 10 of pentacles! Same cards all week. It seems the theme of finding balance with regard to creating my own life and maintaining self-care aka sanity and spending time with family and creating bonds and healing old hurts is a big thing this deck wants me to address. I must say I have enjoyed doing do over the past few days far more than I'd have imagined. And in reference to last nights post, I did end up watching the family make a huge pot of gumbo. Since I don't eat seafood, I just watched as they enjoyed it.
I wish I could write more, but I've got to be up in 5 hours to drive back to New Orelans. I wish I could stay a bit longer. I keep feeling that Spirit is tell on me I am to move here to Houston. My mind cannot see that happening, but my gut says it is already done. I've decided to not fight it if the opportunity comes along I spite of how much I love Nola. I guess I'll see.
I pray 2014 brings healing, wealth, joy, ease and peace. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I just spent 7 hours in a car with 4 other humans who range in age from 7-79 years of age. I see where the phrase "driving me crazy" and "driving me to drink" came from lol. Omfg I'm worn out. And the pain level is through the roof right now in every way; muscles, bone and nerve. I seldom drink, but what I wouldn't give for a glass of Black Opal Shiraz right now! I was able to finally run a hot bath and soak in Epsom salts. While reading a wonderful magazine I found last week at Barnes & Nobel, I fell asleep in the tub for about an hour. I'd say this version of The Chariot and The Hermit say it all. (As much as I adore the device itself, why does iPad 2 take such shitty pictures?!)
I will now focus on my body and mind returning to a natural state of balance and well being before falling asleep. This time in the bed, not in the bathtub lol. Because all in all, it really was a nice day. By foucusing on that, I will ensure that tomorrow will be as well.
Holy crap, last night's card was SO spot on! Today, I met 30 family members I've never met before! It was like a mini family reunion, it was wonderful! And I found out at least 5 more of us see/hear/communicate with the dead! Some are too afraid of it to honor it, but one in particular is totally accepting of it and oddly enough the one I instantly warmed up to. And her name is Star. Of course it lol.
Tonight's card is the 2 of pentacles. I woman stands in her kitchen reading a recipe. She has several items already cut and prepared and is staring to mix them in a bowl. It looks like she is making a pot of gumbo. Maybe looking over an old family recipe. Beside her is an Earth elemental assisting by adding water to a measuring cup. I'm getting the message of the importance of balancing preparation with knowing when to just wing it by following our gut. I have such a tendency to just not do shit because I'm afraid I'll "get it wrong". This says just do the best I can. And to always remember that at any give moment , that may be to a lesser or greater extent than the moment before.
This card has such a warm feeling and kind of feels like an extension of last nights card, the 10ofP. Maybe I'll end up cooking with my family or having in the kitchen with them. Either way, it seems like good things are starting to take form and I need to not stress and enjoy the unfolding of the goodness that I guess is yet to come. I just can't take on more than I can actually handle. Tomorrow is already set to be a whole lot of business. I will have to be sure to make time to meditate and shield so as to not get overwhelmed and turn into Grumpasaurus Rex.
Haha ha! Same card four days later, the10 of pentacles. And once again it is perfectly appropriate. My mother came to town. We went to dinner and I spent the evening with her and met several cousins I never knew and ones I haven't seen since I was a child. I got to hear about many family members I love dearly, many who are gone to the spirit world. It makes me realize how important it is to pass down the stories and recipes from the older generations and to spend time with loved ones while we have the with us.
I pulled one more card and got The Fool. This truly marked a fresh start with regard to my relationship with my mother. It has always been an extraordinarily stressed one despite the enormous amount if love we have for one another. Maybe because if the self-discovery we have both done this is the beginning of a much happier, healthier and enjoyable relationship. I certainly hope so.il
Here we have a woman on the 7of pentacles who has climbed a tree to pick a gorgeous basket of shiny, bright red apples. She closes her eyes as if to envision all of the glorious creations she can make with them. Will she make apple pie like her Aunt Amy used to make for the holidays? Will she cut them into slices and serve them with havarti and a nice Pinot Grigio? Does she take the seeds and use them for healing magic? I can literally hear Abraham Hicks in my head saying to" bask in the deliciousness of creation." looking at this card I'm reminded to take stock of the many blessings to have manifested in my life and have patience for the ones yet to occur.
