Pulling cards.

What's important to know in the coming days? The next week...

The first thing that hit me was "Cern will come again."
then, the Princess of Swords who said to me "Learn to use your new skills. You will hone them to perfection, as one would when working with swords. A little awkward at first, this new dance... you will grow strong and confident."

Then I had to come back and have a look at the rest. The Queen of Swords is representing me - a woman who is rational and fair, strong and decisive. Takes no bull. What my roadblock is to being this wholly is The Hanged Man - Waiting for someone else to make a move, trying to get a different perspective, waiting for timing to be right. This tells me the timing is absolutely right, right now. There will be no waiting. I must shed this notion of wondering.

In what I am right now, the King of Wands. All fire, all intuition, with a good hold on all that means.
In my environment, 2 cards slipped out together, and so I left them that way. First, is THE HIGH PRIEST. Well.. yes. Clearly. Coupled with the 5 of coins - A financial change associated with a lover. Also, sadness and loss associated with a lover. (sigh)

The next, 7 of Pentacles, is 'what is in the thoughts." - That we shall surely reap what we are sowing.

The last card made me happy. THE HIGH PRIESTESS as the outcome of all of it. A strength, secrets revealed and truths understood. 

What is important to know? Let there be no doubt that everything is falling into place as it should. Let there be no question. There is great strength already, even in the learning of separate and connected things. Make peace with your own armor and new tools. Horns and Hooves are present and watchful. Strength and self discovery.

So. Life has been busy. Busy growing and changing and healing. There's been a crazy tonne of magic swirling around me and making things happen FAST. The messages from my Guides (and Others!!) have been loud and clear. I've been doing readings in person at a little shop downtown, and have done a party or two. Mostly, I've been distracted in the most beautiful and important way. However, sometime after the first week of August, .... I believe I'll be back in full force. And completely FOCUSED. That's what so much of this month has been about for me. Focus. It's all part of it.

I've already started to play catch up with email readings, and putting my energies out there to welcome those of you who have been waiting patiently for me.

So, the photo is by my adorable friend Barb, who owns a gorgeous shop in town and also has a business called BOOKBAGZ. (That's a link to her website, but she's also got a facebook page.) I was actually SINGING outside of her shop yesterday, and she brought out one of her bookbagz creations! She's got an official license to use some Nancy Drew Book images on her purses. They are adorable, and cute, and durable.. and handmade by Barb.

Everytime I look at this picture, I think "This is EXACTLY how I've been feeling this month, and I am so thankful." Cute. Sassy. Dainty. And Wondering about The Secret of the Old Clock.

Time hasn't been linear for me. I'm lost in it, and completely okay with that. After the first week of August, it will most likely be easier to keep time.

Focus.

The 10 of Swords. Then the 10 of Cups. Then Rebirth.





I was gifted with some Copal. This resin is new to me, and I feel curious and eager to experience it! I shuffled some cards this morning for myself.. it's been about 10 days since I've drawn for myself (although I've been busy drawing for others - absolutely on FIRE.)  So I'm not even sure that I had a specific question. It was more "Show me how it goes." And Rebirth.

I know I've shown Rebirth here before. But it's different today. The other cards that came with this showed me right now we are in the middle of a "Ten of Swords." A complete ending. It's rational, and the pain of it can be embraced or fought. It's not to be feared. His armour is off, and I find it interesting that the placement of the swords are in his back.

"I lovingly release others to their own lessons. I lovingly care for myself. I move with ease through life."

This is the entire spread. Not what I thought I would get, and one or two surprises, but exactly what needed to be said.

Gazing Sphere! Fast Manifestation - What a Gift!

Today was AMAZING.

I had a reading out in a beautiful area, on a magical piece of property on Peek a Boo trail, in Toanche.  WHELMING. The energy was BIG.

I read for 4 ladies - every reading I wanted to go over in time! The last lady was the owner of the house. This house was completely made out in native decoration, a fantastically decorated home. I read in 'the library' - a room that had shelves from floor to ceiling, on all 4 walls. Filled with books that could have been on my own shelves (and some of them are!). Herbalism, Shamanism, Healing, Magic. I didn't see the stacks of tarot and divination cards until she and I had finished our readings. I remarked that I had a deck (Quester) that she had, but I hadn't touched it yet. I think after today, I'm ready to.

Anyway, at the beginning of her reading, before we even started, she said She had something she's been hanging onto for years. She knew it wasn't for her, but she had to have it to caretake for whoever it was for. And do I like round... you know...(and then she made the shape of the ball with her hands.) 

"Crystal Balls?" I said

"Yes! I have one for you. If you want it. As soon as you walked into my house, I knew it was for you."

Sitting with my little bowl of penny wishes

 Absolutely, I said. I was looking online last night at some, and said to the Universe I'm so excited for MINE to come to me! I've been waiting for one since I worked at The Crow's Nest in Midland ages ago.

I'm surprised and pleased that it came to be so QUICKLY.

What's even better - I KNOW it was meant for me. The base is represented by pagan/wiccan Maiden/Mother/Crone. Not a native imagery. I made a girlish noise when I realized what was on the base.

Check this out:

Maiden

Mother

Crone

Each of the vine leaves are perfect.
She also giften me with a painted stone with the native wheel she painted on it.
It sits with the other stones and crystals I have, on my makeshift altar. There's NO room on my altar for the gazing ball. It's currently filled with the God of Summer, and a mermaid! Oh, and the clock that represents timelessness! See the copper coil? It's for the orgonite I'll be making - apparently pretty soon!!
Today I feel blessed. I think I was given a wonderful gift with todays readings.
