Day 20: A picture of a Tarot or Oracle Card, and its meaning.

Tobaira of the Waters:

Tobaira is the card of healing, empathy, and all emotions. She is one of my favourite cards, and has a fantastic connection with me. She is the Queen of Water and she plays the role of healer, teacher, and companion (sounds familiar). She is also about giving and receiving equally, teaching us that healing is a two way street

Days Outcome: The Faery who was kissed by Pixies – This Card is love. Pure and simple. Unfettered and unbound love. This love is about both giving and receiving. Morna, the faery displayed on the card is the Queen of Love, all kinds of love; Brotherly, sisterly, parental, friendly, unconditional or conditional. She is about using the power of love to help open our hearts. One of her main jobs is to remind us to love without conditions and to be sure that when we do feel love, we are centered within ourselves. We should not loose ourselves in others so completely that we can’t let go of them. She reminds us that everything and eceryone in Faery glows with is own light, and so do we. “Much of that light is the glow of love” Jessa Macbeth writes. She says remembering that is important. Applying this to myself isn’t always simple. Today, I will probably get a lesson in this, or I will be able to complete this energy in my life. Allowing for the flow of love and light. 

Days Energy: Strength- A pretty self-explanatory card. The strength card is not only about physical strength but the strength of will. Triumphing over something that almost seemed impossible or, WAS thought impossible. It can also mean, the strength of stability. What may appear weak in form, can overcome weakness if one has mastery of herself. This is how the Maiden is able to tame the lion. In essence she is “Lion-hearted” In Character.

Days Outcome: The Friends: The Two faery in the cards are Nuff (the top one) and Laochan. They are always, always together. Not only do they show us the true meaning of friendship but they also say that Friendly cooperation is the result of both giving and receiving equally. My guess for the day is I am going to be using their friendly cooperation to help get something completed or finished. 

Days Energy: The High Priestess: The High Priestess is the well of the wisdom of nature, the spirit, the ancient practice of Healing arts, magic, and mystery. She teaches her wisdom to the world and offers up her knowledge to anyone who comes knocking. I have a very strong connection with this card, because I see myself reflected back at me. For today, my energy will resonate on the same level as the High Priestess.

Days Outcome: Nelys the Alchemist: This Faery guide shows us change. She doesn’t necessarily make it happen, but she points us in the proper direction. To make an appropriate change, we need to balance the outside world with the inside world. Only then will a proper change occur. One of the things that you might say is “Wow! That change was unexpected, but it was exactly what I needed.” Today, I plan on being the alchemist and causing the change in my environment to change my inner world.

Days Energy: The Hanged Man. Much like the Death card many people associate The Hanged Man negatively. However, the exact opposite is true. If you look closely at the card you will see, that The Hanged Man is in no pain, in fact, he looks quite content for his position; some may even said he hung himself! The Hanged Man tells us to surrender to what’s going on around us, as it is personally good for us to have that change, and that only by this change can we open up into ourselves accepting intuition. He is about Inner Peace, faith, and Serenity rather than suffering and torment. 

Daily Cards and Coffee

Days Outcome: O! That Gnome: That gnome is much like the Fool Card in Tarot. It describes the event of showing us how silly we are, generally in the form of some fairy trick or another. However, even after it was him who caused us to fall, he kindly helps us up and says “Now see, that was silly to fall for that, wasn’t it?” He is described as the only constructive force of chaos, because it is from his chaos that we learn of or true selves and not what others are expecting of us. Jessica Macbeth asks “Can you laugh at yourself sometimes, and let that laughter carry you into new insights and new ways of being?” because that is what That Gnome offers you. Things may not always be what they seem, but this is a good thing in this case. 

Days Energy: Eight of Wands (Swiftness); Something is happening fast, and you are being drawn a towards clear, and decisive direction. The Eight of Wands represents a very focused kind of motion and activity. “The Eights are all about structure while the Wands are about raw energy. Thus, the structure of the Eight creates a channel through which the raw energy can flow. You are so sure about your goal that all distractions have been removed and you can devote yourself to the task with complete concentration, determination, and will. This experience can be very productive, allowing you to accomplish a lot in short time.” Quoted explanation by

The pipers melody is the soft and subtle flow of harmony that connects us. Soft calling us towards him, sometimes seductively, and sometimes sweetly. The piper suggests that to get what you want, you should seek that harmony and tranquility with in you. Use his tenderness and gentleness. We should learn also to be aware of others subtle feelings, and show them compassion and empathy. Others may be listening to you with sensitivity and clarity, so much that they may hear what we are saying more clearly than we do ourselves.

“A sense of honor and satisfaction at the resolution of an important matter. Triumph after great struggle. Jubilation at the hearing of good news. The realization of hopes and desires.”

 

Breakfast with my Cards: Daily Oracle and Tarot

The Singer of Initiation is all about finally overcoming the trial. It may have been long and hard, but you over came it. This is similar to a Rune reading I received last night. This singers energy says, that you are finally ready to begin in the light of all that has passed. You are about to become something brilliant. Even though the road was filled with trials and errors, it has been over came to enlighten and enliven you. Hopefully this is a message about being able to over come all the issues that I have with the new course that I have set. You are passing into a new life now.

Ace of wands is all about seizing opportunities. It is the bursting bud that brings unseen hope. It brings this new energy into every aspect, and every part of your life. This is a time of opportunity. Once again, this day is all about putting my new life style at hand, and this card is telling me that the energy of my day will be from this.

The Dark lady is about power. She is the High Priestess of all mysteries. She is very much the Crone aspect of the goddess. We only arrive at her feet by going through great trial, strife, and surrender. However once we are there, she teaches us profound spiritual lessons and secrets. This card is a very powerful card to draw today in conjunction with 11/11/11.

The Five of swords speaks of defeat. This card, is not necessarily referring to myself, but rather the energy I am being motivated by today. I am trying to Defeat the things in my life that I no long need. 

------
Basically, I think this reading for today is telling me that because of the energy present, today was the best day for me to start fresh and to overcome the past and the issues that It presented me with.
