Joy Is No Melodrama

I had such a good day today with my amazing friend Michaelle, so to get this card is quite a shock. And a shocking card this is to say the least, good God! I mean I know the 3 of swords is a most unpleasant card unless there are some pretty wonderful ones around it, but this is one extreme ass, melodramatic statement. All I can think is that this is to remind me that no matter how bad my life may be I can promise, it damn sure ain't even close to this! So here's to reminders of the joys I am blessed with in the midst of the bullshit.

Impending Victory - Day 6

Another draw from the Ludy Lescott deck. Two cards jumped out while shuffling, the King of Swords and the 6 of wands. This 6ofW has so much symbolism, but I'm absolutely beat so I am going to be very brief. The first thing that comes to mind is that some man who wants to see me succeed is going to come to my aid. I can see this as being two people, one being Joshua who is a Gemini and who is working on making something happen that would be extremely beneficial to me. The other is a legal matter that I had to address today that an attorney is handling. I'd say both situations will work out in my favor. After such an extraordinarily difficult few months, it is so encouraging to be getting positive cards the past few days.

A Star from Amedeé -Day 5

I decided to draw from the Ludy Lescot Tarot again because I need to learn how it speaks. What a glorious card to pull, The Star XVII! Under a soothing lavender sky, a lovely woman kneels before a creek. In the far distance there are woods and a bit closer is low- lying fog skimming the tops of boulders that seem to form a barrier almost. Above our lady is a beautiful 8 pointed star, shining like an angel that is watching over her even though she doesn't see it. Her eyes are closed almost prayerfully as she dips her fingertips into the cool, clear water receiving its healing energy and cleansing. Dead, autumn leaves collect at the hem of her dress to show that it is the season of shedding what no longer serves us. A green frog sits and watches her. (check out what symbolism Avia Venifica associates with it! One thing I just learned from her is that frogs are a link between the living and the dead.)

There are a lot of similarities between this card and real life. It I set here in New Orleans where I am. It is fall and there are brown leaves on the ground outside of the window at the CC's where I am. It's a very overcast, somewhat foggy night with a purplish sky just like in the card. While taking a shower today I called upon the healing energy of water to cleanse and protect me. Yesterday I went to the cemetery and asked my ancestors, my grandfather Amedeé and step-grandmother Elizabeth particular, to watch over me and help me and to please send me signs. And The Star card often means that angels and/or deceased loved ones are watching overs us and wanting to help. Last night I had a very interesting conversation with Joshua about knowledge he is gaining about angels.

I very rarely read the LWB, but it says, "You have the right to receive everything that is good in the world." I just did some spell work on last night's full moon in Taurus. Spells are like wishes, only super charged with faith and the assistance of the spirits one invokes. Now I need to get in the flow of accepting this statement and those blessings. And lastly, The Star card tonight is telling me to fill out the form to do extra work. While sitting here, one of the stars of American Horror Story was here. I am very grateful to God/Goddess, Spirit and my ancestors for this beautiful sign telling to not loose hope. Good things are very soon to come.

Day 4

Tonight's draw is from the Ludy Lescot deck, the 10 of cups which jumped out as I was shuffling. What a most auspicious card considering the fact that I just did spells today to find a new apartment/home. Seeing the mother holding and nurturing her child makes me know that both Yemaya and my ancestors as well as St. Jude and St. Expedite have heard my plea and the my prayers will be answered sooner than I may think. And for this, I am more grateful than words can say!

Fishnet, Black Pantyhose - Day 3

Today's draw (at 1:50 AM) is intentional. I love to wear boots with lacey and fishnet stockings and today it made made think of the Daughter of Knives. This pretty young vamp seems to be pausing after making an attack with her blade. She seems like a tough chick who has confidently handled some bullshit and is now kinda staring into space as she takes a breather before moving on. She knows what she wants and doesn't apologize for it, just gets to it. Note to Self.

Lovers Rx

Just cause you don't like a card doesn't mean you get to ignore it. In fact, I guess the argument could be made that you definitely need to pay attention to it. Today's draw for myself comes from the Faulkner Tarot and it is The Lovers Rx. I recently had a break up and though I have no doubt that it is for the best, it still makes me very sad.

The Lovers card is also about choice. It is ruled by Merucry, which is Rx at this time. This card says to me that regardless of how well-suited and compatible we are in so many ways, or how clearly we both saw ourselves walking down the same path toward a future together, we clearly got very off track. Choices we both made, or in some cases didn't make, got us both in the very fucked up place we are in our lives respectively. Communication that was open and forthcoming became half-truths and lies from one partner to another to cover up addiction issues. And then that became lies to ourselves, and thus a toxic cesspool that caused both our lives to implode. No matter how much love there is, if things become imbalanced, what was once a beautiful union turns into a codependent death trap. All we can do is choose to accept where we are and choose to make choices that lead to our own true happiness.

Honey Badger Don't Give a Shit - Day 2

Today's card is from a really nice oracle deck my friend Toby gave me a while back and I just busted open. It's the Animal Messages Oracle from Suzie Green. I drew Badger. "Abandon compromise and fight valiantly for what you believe in." The first thing I think of is that hilarious video that went viral about the honey badger. "Honey badger don't give a shit, it takes what it wants!" I had to contact the phone line I just got hired by to work on the last items I need to take care of to finalize things in order to be activated as a reader for them. I've been dragging my feet because things are not ideal for me to start doing this. I know this card is telling me to fight the bullshit that fear keeps whispering in my ear that will cause me to end up missing out on this opportunity. Don't be a chicken, be a honey badger and take this opportunity I want! And was given to me directly from LaSirene!

And so I did. Just spoke to the woman who was super nice and so excited for me to start. And told me to worry about getting better since I sound like hell with all this congestion. I'm so grateful for this new opportunity to bring in more money and grow as a reader. It is also a reminder to be aggressive and assertive to go after the things I want in general.
