What I Want/What I Need - Day 19

I like to use more than one deck sometimes. Tonight I'm using The Universal Goddess and the Robin Wood.

What I want - Rx King of Cups - The Hindu Goddess Sariswati, the goddess of creativity, the arts, knowledge and memory. There is a river in India named after her so she is associated with rivers. (Maybe I need to go down by the Mississippi and connect with her like I often do with the Orisha Oshun) Being reversed, this shows that I want to be able to express and enjoy all of these qualities. And being the Rx KofC it shows I feel very unsuccessful in these areas as well as emotional fulfillment. It's like that waterfall is so much blocked emotion and joy. The small base of land feels like isolation. I do want to get out more and do more enjoyable things like go to movies, the ballet, listen to live bands and do some creative works like knitting, candle and soap making and anything involving Mod Podge and glitter lol.

What I need - Rx Temperance XIV - the Persian (Iranian) goddess Anahita who is a fertility goddess and also associated with the divinity of water. The first thing I notice is the peacock displaying his plumes proudly behind her. I think maybe Oshun is trying to get my attention as this is one of her sacred creatures. And now I see the seashells, which are a symbol of Yemaya, Oshun's sister. I've done spell work to both of them lately and am still waiting for those prayers to be answered. Since Temperance is all about healing, patience and the delicate integration of opposing elements this is saying I need to be patient (*Rant - ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?! Omg if i am any more patient I'll did an plastic admit bracelet with my name and birthday! -- end rant*) because the two of them are working to create the healthiest and most stable of results in answer to my prayers. I now see the calm, confident, patient look on her face.

 

How can I get what I want? - The Hermit Rx - I guess I need to get out more, be more social. I've been a bit secluded. With a birthday a few weeks away, I am feeling old and unaccomplished. I don't really want this, but I feel like given that I drew this card as an answer to the Rx KofC it means I need to go on a date. Maybe an opportunity to do so will present itself and I suppose I am being guided to get off the ice mountain and socialize. Hmm...

How to get what I need - Rx Page of Swords - Really. Another Rx card. I guess I need to stop trying to speaking about how messed up shit is and how long is taking for it to turn around. Positive affirmations, perhaps even righting them again. As Abraham-Hicks says, don't keep talking about what is if what is is not the way you want it to be. Talk about the way I want it to be as though it is the way it is.

Joy and Pain- Day 18

Again tonight I chose to use the Universal Goddess Tarot. And again tonight I've drawn The Star card.  I've drawn this card several times in the past 2 weeks so I decided to ask for clarity with another card and I pulled The Tower. I've had some pretty nasty, unpleasant and shocking things occur over the past couple of months. I was hit by a taxi cab, my brother was killed, work had been super slow, I lost my apartment I had to break up with a man that  I love very much but was bringing me down big time. All very Tower-like experiences. But then I look at the beauty of the Star card and I'm reminded of how blessed I am to have earthly beings as well as divine ones loving and encouraging me. In my head I hear the song "Joy and Pain" by Frankie Beverly and Maze. The life can so many moments extreme heartache and pain, I am very grateful for the moment of love and friendship that gives me hope.

Me, Kylie, & Aphrodite! - Day 17

Tonight's drawing is from Universal Goddess Tarot. This is the third time in a week that I've drawn The Lovers VI card. In this depiction we have a very scantily clad Venus emerging from the ocean. She is clearly a very confident woman comfortable in her own skin. I can hear the song Aphrodite by Kylie Minogue and my head right now. I absolutely love Kylie Minogue. I'd kill to see her live! She is such an amazing performer as well as an absolutely beautiful, sensual yet gracefully elegant woman. To quote the lyrics, "I'm fierce and I'm feeling mighty, don'tcha mess with me I'ma Aphrodite alright!" this song always makes me feel so energized and confident. 6's are about re establishing harmony and lovers card speaks to choosing what you're passionate about. I think when I wake up tomorrow song as well as well I'm getting ready for my day can choose embrace and exude my own inner Aphrodite!

Joy and Inspiration - Day 14

Tonight's deck is the Robin Wood Tarot. Since I've decided to commit to making a post every night no matter how short it may be, almost every time the cards have jumped or fallen out whilst I was shuffling and tonight they did again. Both the 3 of cups (another 3 tonight I see) and the Knight of Wands. This seems too be both a recap of today and foreshadowing of tomorrow. I spent the day with my dear friend Michaelle, or "my wife" as we both affectionately refer to one another. We went to H&M which only just opened in N.O. last week. God I love that store! And then her partner Jim took us and his friend Yvette (who is one of the funniest people I've ever met!) for late night nosh at I-Hop. What a wonderful day. And tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I will spend it with so many people I love. So this card duo speaks to me about how the joy and laughter spent with people I love will create a positive momentum inspiring me to create more of those situations and that frame of mind.

The Kn of W also confirms a reading that my friend Stephanie who is a fantastic reader did for me! I got this card as the answer to something I'm planning on that is very exciting and a big sign to go for it. Thank you again Stephanie!

I am very thankful to be receiving such encouraging cards each night.

Burgundy- Day 14

Tonight I decided to draw from an oracle deck, The Secret Language of Color. The question I asked was what color do I need to meditate on before I go to sleep tonight. I've drawn Burgundy- awaken your passion. Picture on the card is the center of a rose that is starting to open up. It's funny, for the past week I've been wearing a burgundy lipstick and my sleep shirt tonight is a wine or burgundy color. Inna Segal, the author of the deck, says burgundy will assist in connecting with one's passion vibrancy and enthusiasm for life. It can help you to make your dreams come true. What a perfect card for where I am in life!

3's -Day 13

I decided to pull two cards.

1. What am I moving away from? Hanged Man Rx - Being in limbo. We see the clock and from this perspective it looks like it's 5 or 45 min until midnight/noon. It ain't over yet, but very soon a major turning point will be reached.

2. What am I moving toward? - 3 of cups - the first thing I think of is the brilliance and the solid nature of a diamond. I will have joy will have a strong foundation based on a commitment to loving and honoring mySelf.

I notice both a cards are 3's. This speaks to me of nurture, love, creativity and completion. *big smile with a glimmer of hope in my heart*
