That I know of, there are at least 5 chicks in my head. All of them have way too much to say. These are their stories
So I spent the night in a car driving from New Orleans to Nashville for their first vampire tour. My brother and his wonderful girlfriend are big in that subculture, so I care be supportive. so this is the post that should have gone out last night. I figured The Chariot from the Gothic Tarot would be appropriate as an intentional draw. Set your course in life and choose the best possible means to get there. If you don't like it, you can always go back lol.
Tonight I''ve drawn The Empress. It's interesting how the card was done almost exclusively in shades of green and slight tinges of blue. We see a mother out in the garden pausing from her work to tend to her child's skinned knee. She has on a bandana that makes think of the Blessed Mother's crown of stars . In her flower bed is a box of garden tools, a watering can, what appears to be a dog dish or water bowl, & a potted African violet. Given the Empress card's association with maternal energy, this makes me think of a very nice conversation I had with my mother last night. Another wonderful thing is the stars on her head and the African violet lets me know that one of my most beloved spirits is back in touch with me. I cannot explain the gratitude enjoy that makes me feel. And the dog dish? Well I guess that's because I've foolishly somehow become somebody's mama by default! You know I need to have my head examined! That she is precious and I love her already. Good grief! I'm such a sucker lol.
I felt called to use the Incedental Tarot tonight and came up with the 9 of Oaks (pentacles). We see a mighty oak tree with a large, strong trunk that seems firmly rooted and numerous branches with a broad canopy. The tree is encircled by a wreath of oak leaves and 9 acorns. This card for me usually means independence and being comfortable in one's own skin. However, tonight it just feels like the powerful need for the elusive blessing of solitude in order to feel grounded as well as the need to be able to self support. That comes from the master 9 from the major arcana, The Hermit IX. It also draws on feelings of self-doubt and anger which cause me to withdraw and put up barriers. I totally get it since this is how I'm feeling a lot these days. Today I found out someone I care for very deeply is moving away. Though this will be such a good thing for him and that brings me enormous joy because he is such a beautiful soul, I felt a kind of sadness and loss that really kinda took me by surprise and went very deep. I didn't realize how much he means to me until I read the words saying he is moving. *sarcastic laugh* Ain't that always the way. But he and I are both too wounded to pursue the feelings that I now see are there. He's got PTSD from Iraq (though Veterans in general have a massive place in my heart, been down that road before!) and I've got the craziness that is my life right now so that'd just be some toxic bullshit. And I do recognize my tears where also reflecting pain from other relationships and friendships that have ended for one reason or other. When I said something to him today that reflected the afore mentioned kind of skewed self image, he text me the most beautiful picture. I made it my phone's screen saver. I need to be reminded of this message.
Tonight's draw is from The Ancestral Path deck. It is the second deck I ever owned and was given to me by my dear friend Glenda who taught me how to read cards when I lived in Ft. Lauderdale years ago. While shuffling, The Star XVII fell out. This card has such a peaceful feel to it. There is a Native woman pouring water from two vessels, one onto river stones, one back into the source. I'm now hearing the words of Abraham-Hicks "co-creating with source". I get a strong message of healing, which I so desperately need. The pain I've been in this past week has been so bad because of the temperature and barometric pressure changes. Muscular, bone, discs, and nerve pain from Hell! The glistening starlight is telling me I need to go back to accupunture. I think I'll do a few bullet points.
* go to accupunture
* spending time with my brother whom I love so much (he is Native) and his awesome girlfriend this coming weekend will be a really good thing
* listen/watch Abraham-Hicks YouTube videos daily
* go down to the Mississippi and give an offering
* keeping looking up and forward. Blessings are just beyond the clouds, and closer than they may seem. I have gotten this card 3 or 4 times since I started this daily posting challenge
* sign up to do extra work for all the filming they do in town
Here is the song I instantly heard when it fell out:
This, like last night's post, will be a short one. I'm in so much pain it's ridiculous. And if I take the particular prescription that would help, I'll sleep the entire day away.
I've drawn the 2 of cups. We see a very happy couple enjoying a fabulous night out. It makes me think of one of the restaurants I've always wanted to go to, Arnoud's. It makes me think of a particular couple I did a reading for last Christmas who later told me that the reading had a huge impact on saving their marriage. I hope they are doing well. I haven't heard from them in quite a while.
I wish I could write more, but it hurts too much to type. Let's say for now this card makes sense given certain recent events. Although I'm still extremely guarded, we'll see.
So I missed my first night of posting last night. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. I guess I'll mark this as Day 60 instead of Day 61. I won't beat myself up though. I have a tendency to do that. Tonight's post will be short as well. I'm in a lot of pain.
I've drawn The Lovers. We see a couple choosing the home they want. I did some energy work earlier to draw to me the home I'd love to have. Maybe this is a sign that is closer to me than I may know. This card also shows I need to make choices based upon what will bring security and joy in my heart and wait for it to manifest.
This deck doesn't really speak to me, but it's my emergency deck that actually belongs to my "wife". I almost always have at least one deck on me at any given time. Tonight is not one of those times. So here I am, with... Well, the box just says "Tarot", so please do not ask me the name of it. If you read Dixie's blog, you know she uses it and it seems to speak clearly to her. Any damn way, I got the Ace of Pentacles. A hand, appearing out of the pitch darkness, has a pentacle in its grasp. Is it accepting or offering it? Not quite sure, but all around are 9 dandelions floating about. I say I just need to continue truly believing that the things I've been wishing to manifest into my physical reality will do just that. And when it does, express my gratitude and take joy in being able to share the wealth with my loved ones.
