Daily Draw - Seven of Swords and The Chariot

This morning I drew the Seven of Swords and the Chariot. As it turns out, the cards were very literal today. The first thing I noticed was that they are both lucky sevens. I set the cards aside to read later because we were headed out for a walk to the store.

On the way to the store, I had the idea to test out a little experiment with the kids. I gave them each two pennies and told them to put each one in a place where someone would be likely to find it. I told them about a quote I had read recently, "You can't out-give the Universe", and that by giving happily and freely, they were sure to enjoy an abundant return. The key to the whole thing was to give with joy in order for it to work. They had a blast, figuring out where to place their pennies so that it would be a surprise to the person who found it. They left them on doorsteps, on the ground in front of car doors, next to newspapers in driveways, and even in mailboxes (this was my bright idea, though I think it may be illegal.) I took the last of my change to distribute myself, which was two nickels.

Less than five minutes after the last coin was placed, my daughter found a penny on the ground! She was so excited that she had already manifested money so quickly! When we got to the store, she gave the checkout lady her penny because she wanted to manifest even more! So in total, they gave out seven pennies (reminding me of the sevens in my cards today). And I gave away two nickels.

I was delighted to find that the cereal I wanted to buy was both on sale, and Buy-One-Get-One Free! So I received the grocery equivalent of $4.00... Forty times the amount I released into the world less than half an hour earlier with my two nickels!

On the way home, when we were about two blocks from our house, I saw something that someone had left out for trash pickup. It was a huge battery operated toy truck, about 3 feet long. The kind that costs about $100. There it was, on the side of the curb, waiting to be thrown away. I looked at it, inspected it, and it was in perfect condition. I asked the kids if they wanted it, and they excitedly said yes. My son carried it home, as I pointed out the amazing manifestation they had attracted with their seven pennies!

The Seven of Swords card I see as my daughter. There are six swords floating in midair, representing the six pennies they had originally released. The figure in the card surrenders the seventh sword (the additional penny my daughter had found and given away). The result? The Chariot! Literally, a chariot-like toy in the form of a truck!

I normally don't even look at the LWB of decks, but I'm getting ready to write a review of this deck, so I wanted to read through it. One of the meanings given for the Seven of Swords is "efforts paying off", which they did quite literally today in spades! (No pun intended ... "spades/swords".)
