Hiatus

I just wanted to post a quick note to say that I'll be taking a blogging hiatus for the next week or two. We're going to be moving at the end of the week, and things are just too busy for me to be able to blog. I miss it already, and I'm sure I'll be going through withdrawal symptoms by the time I return! I'll be sure to catch up with everyone once I'm settled and reconnected with the wonderful world of internet! And if you're so inclined, any and all "happy moving vibes" sent my way would be greatly appreciated! :)

Funnily enough, I drew the Eight of Cups and Two of Wands this morning, which fits in well with the whole moving theme and reason for this post, so I thought I'd include the images here.

I'll be back...!

Pregnancy Prediction Update!

I just had to post this update, it's too funny! Three days ago, I posted my Lenormand and Playing Card readings which seemed to indicate that I would be hearing from a male loved one regarding a new addition to his family. Well, today I received an email with these photos from my bio-dad announcing that one of his snakes had birthed eggs!

I think it's so funny that my cards were referring to a snake, and Sammie's pregnancy readings turned out to be about her cat! Guess it's a fertile time in the animal kingdom! And the cards saw it all coming...

I'm really pleased with the accuracy of the playing cards. And it gives me such a thrill that my Lenormand readings have been so accurate so far, because I'm so brand new to reading with these cards. I'm now quite a bit more excited about the reading I did this morning about receiving some big money news! I admit I have been skeptical about that reading all day because it seems too good to be true. But now I have more faith, and I'm hoping my reading streak continues, bringing me some unexpected prosperity (and crossing my fingers that I don't just receive news that someone else I know hit the jackpot!).

Daily Draw - Ten of Pentacles and Two of Cups (and a Lenormand draw)

Today I drew the Ten of Pentacles and Two of Cups. The Ten of Pentacles is another card that reminds me of Criss Angel this week. I see another magician's cape and the white bird in hand (the show I watched the other day featured Criss making white birds appear out of nowhere). The Ten of Pentacles is a lucky prosperity card, so maybe I'll be seeing some money appear out of thin air as if by magic!

The man in the Two of Cups looks like Humphrey Bogart. Not sure who the woman is supposed to be. Here we have two more of the same cups that have been appearing in previous daily draws. Only today, the cups aren't overflowing. They are contained in two shimmering domes of light, which are then contained together in a larger dome of light. They are connected, as the man and woman are in this card. So maybe the financial magic from the Ten of Pentacles will come from someone I love, or it may be connected with something I love to do and feel a strong connection with.

Another interpretation could be that the Ten of Pentacles is representing my dad (he's the bread winner of the family, and he loves magic and Criss Angel.) The Two of Cups could be pointing to my parents making up. They're doing fine, my mom's over the whole birthday thing.


And here's my Lenormand reading today:



Bear + Fish + Letter

The first thing that popped into my head when I saw these cards was "big money news" (big-Bear, money-Fish, news-Letter). Not sure if the Bear indicates that this will be good news or bad news, but with the Ten of Pentacles going for me, I'm more inclined to think that it will be good. (There's my optimism butting in again!) I also see in the Bear card a loving mama bear with her two cubs, so there's that feeling of love and connection that I saw in the Two of Cups.

I could really use some good financial news, so here's hoping!

Lenormand and Playing Card Readings: Forgotten Birthday

I'm grouping all the Lenormand and playing card readings that have come up for me in the past couple of days regarding my mom's birthday upset and posting them together here. All of the cards were drawn for general readings, I wasn't drawing cards with my parents' issue on my mind.

July 15

The readings began on this day, which was the day in between my mom's birthday (July 14) and the day I found out about the whole fiasco (July 16).


5 Spades + 7 Diamonds
Strong anger or upset (5S) due to waiting (7D) for something

6 Spades + King Hearts
Something will be made clear (6S) to a spouse (KH)

2 Hearts + 7 Clubs
Energy (7C) spent/focused on a relationship/partnership (2H)


So in summary, it looked like someone was going to be pissed off at her spouse about something that she'd been waiting for. She would make this quite clear to the guy, and there would be issues regarding the amount of energy (or lack thereof) that he spent on their relationship.

When I pulled these cards, I was clueless as to what it was regarding. I wrote it down in my journal and waited to see if anything would come of it. Later on that day, I drew cards from my Lenormand:



House + Man + Ring

What I saw very clearly was a husband. Man + Ring gave me a married man. House + Man made me think of a husband who was either retired or spent a lot of time doing things around the house. House + Ring made me think that something was going on at home that had to do with commitment. Again, I didn't see how this would relate to me in any way.

The next day (July 16), I got the email from my mom telling me about how my dad had forgotten her birthday. The cards suddenly made sense. As the playing cards showed, she was upset that she had to wait around to see if her husband would remember her birthday. When he didn't, she made it clear to him how it made her feel. She wanted him to be more attentive and put some effort into this facet of their relationship, as she wanted to feel more important and significant to him.

The Lenormand cards solidified the theme of the matter, as my dad is a retired married man who was having issues with remembering a commitment.

---

July 17

Again, I did another general reading for the day, this time pulling 5 cards:



Ship + Ring + House + Man + Letter

There's the Ring, House and Man again! So I knew the cards were still referring to this situation with my parents. The Ship indicated to me that this was something that was happening far away (my parents are across the country). This card can also indicate travel, and my parents happen to be on vacation. The Ring + House + Man in the center of the reading is the focus, drawing the same cards as I did two days earlier. In my previous reading, the Man had his back to the Ring card, not committing this important date to memory. In this set, the Ring is in his line of vision, as it has now been brought to his attention. The Letter Fairy comes swooping down with a message for him. This would indicate both my mother letting him know what was on her mind, and also later would represent my idea to send him reminder email alerts in the future (which I would suggest later that night).

Later that day, I did a general playing card reading:


5 Hearts
A gift

Ace Hearts (reversed)
Affairs of the home and heart

Nine Hearts
The wish card




This was a very nice trio of cards to come up. At the time of the drawing, I had been expecting a package in the mail, so I thought the cards were saying that it would finally arrive that day. But instead, it turned out to be referring to my mom again.

That night, I sent an email to my mom, sharing my thoughts on the whole situation, and asked how she felt about my reminding my dad about important dates in the future. Right before I went to bed, I received a response from her, saying how sweet my email was, and that she would love for me to set up the reminders! I honestly hadn't expected such a favorable response, as I didn't think she'd think it would "count" if he had to be reminded. But I had told her that I'd probably be a month late with my birthday wishes if I didn't have calendar reminders, so I think maybe she saw that it wasn't anything personal, and it was just a lack of organizational skills! So I was thrilled when she reacted so excitedly to the idea.

The playing cards seemed to be referring to my mom's new happiness at finding a solution. I had given her a gift that would make her home life and heart happy, and her wish of never having her birthday forgotten again would come true! It was such a delightful set of cards to come up, and I was so elated that my mom was feeling happy about it!

---

July 18

Today, yet again, the Man and House have returned, though the Ring has been replaced by the Moon.



Man + House + Moon

It looks like the Man has put the whole deal behind him now. The emotional issue that hit home (House + Moon) is in the past now. What's done is done. The Moon brought to mind many other points. It made me think of regular cycles, so it reminded me that I need to go ahead and arrange those recurring email reminders for him...before I forget! (Now my mom jokes that she just has to remind him to check his emails!) The Moon also made me think of my mom being a sensitive/emotional Cancer, as I believe this card is associated with water signs. The Moon can also indicate creativity, and we came to a creative solution to the problem. I also saw the Moon as a time when people are sleeping, and this card even has a sleeping face on the moon. The solution I came up with is something that will remind my dad automatically and effortlessly, while he sleeps!


I'm so new to the whole Lenormand thing, and am just trying to fit together what pops into my mind when I see the cards together. If any of you more seasoned Lenormand readers want to chime in and add observations, that'd be great!

Decks: Judith Bartschi Lenormand and Pippoglyph playing cards

Daily Draw - Three of Cups and Seven of Swords

These cards today are referring to something that's happened between my parents. My mom's birthday was earlier this week. My stepdad forgot. When he didn't acknowledge her birthday, she had to remind him, and it really upset her. Her feelings were very hurt. She said it made her feel more like his INsignificant other.

They have a good life together, so she wondered if she was blowing things out of proportion, but she couldn't help but feel that her husband should remember her birthday.

I told her that his brain was just wired differently, and that holidays are likely no more significant to him than any other day. He wasn't ignoring her birthday deliberately, he just obviously doesn't place the same importance on stuff like that as she does. My mom is the one in charge of all the birthdays for both of their families, and she feels the least he can do is remember the ONE birthday he's in charge of remembering.

I shared my thoughts on the matter, which was that yes, she should look at the big picture and be grateful for the every-day things he does for her, AND that he should also look at the small picture and acknowledge the day that holds so much meaning for my mom. I suggested that I could set up some email alerts to remind him of the important holidays. I wasn't sure how my mother would receive that suggestion, since the reminders would be coming from me, and I didn't know if she needed him to wrap his brain around it himself. I was very happy to hear back from her, saying that she would LOVE for me to remind him! I jokingly said we could even make up a few holidays and he'd never know the difference. :)

The Three of Cups often indicates a celebration, indicating my mother's birthday. However, the dancers on this card are more serious and aren't exactly kicking up their heels, which sets the scene for the tone of that day. There are three cups, but only two people in the card. This is my mom and dad, and the third cup in the middle is for me, an outsider being invited to become involved in the situation.

The Seven of Swords reminded me of Criss Angel, probably because I watched Mindfreak for two hours the other night (so happy that it's finally back on the air!). I see the woman as a magician, hiding something behind her cape. She's making sure that our attention is on the swords on the ground, while she maneuvers something behind her cape. The figure is me. I had to divert my mom's attention away from her sadness, so that she wouldn't perpetuate more of the same. I had a trick up my sleeve, offering to set up email alerts for my dad, so he wouldn't make the same mistake again. And just like magic, he will now never forget another holiday! She was very happy with this solution, which made me feel wonderful!

For three days, my Lenormand cards and playing cards have been addressing this situation, following it as things progressed. The same cards have been coming up repeatedly with my Lenormand deck, despite my clever shuffling. If I have time, I may post those readings here as well. It's much easier for me to keep track of stuff on a blog than in a paper journal. I'm just not sure if I want to keep my tarot and oracle readings on the same blog, or separate them. There are pros and cons either way, and I'll have to think about that for awhile.

Note: I also noticed that the Three of Cups card show the cups as overflowing just like the Ace of Cups I drew yesterday, and again there is an abundance of water in the background, with a waterfall and lake. Only today, there are three cups, so the abundance from yesterday has multiplied. It can also be seen as the abundance of tears from my mom's emotional upset. And... it hasn't escaped my attention that both the Ace of Cups and Three of Cups are cards that can indicate a pregnancy or birth!

Deck: Cosmic Tarot

Daily Draw - Ace of Cups and The Hermit

Ah, more pretty blue cards! I absolutely love the Ace of Cups in this deck, and the Hermit card was the one which initially drew me to this deck. The Hermit is always one of my favorite cards in any deck, and this is an exceptionally beautiful version of the card.

It looks to me like my cup will continue to overflow with abundance due to my regular spiritual practice. Both cards take place at night, which is the time I work on my meditation and manifestation techniques. The Ace of Cups overflows, and as if that wasn't enough, there is a huge body of water behind the cup. There's more than enough water everywhere you look! The Hermit sits in mindful meditation, basking in his soulful solitude.

There are stars prominent in both cards, which makes me think of magical blessings from the cosmos. The Hermit's hair and beard are long, bringing to mind two different things. First, that hair takes awhile to grow out, so he has long been at this practice. Spirituality isn't something you "do" once a week and expect a miracle. It's something within you that needs to be nourished on a regular basis, allowing it time to grow and expand. Only then can you achieve the overflowing of the Ace of Cups. The second thing that the long hair and beard made me think of was that the Hermit is living naturally, a cool hippie dude going with the flow and following his own inner path, rather than blindly following the norm. (I'm really diggin' on this Hermit!)

I have already begun to feel the abundance of the Ace of Cups in my life. And the Hermit is a reminder for me to continue following the spiritual path I'm on. It only gets better and better, and when I maintain my soul's journey, I find myself expanding in so many beneficial ways.

Pregnancy in the Cards?

I did a three card draw today with my new Lenormand deck, not asking anything in particular. I just wanted to see what came up. I want to start doing regular Lenormand draws so that I can gauge my accuracy with them, and also to see how long it takes the cards to play out in real life. The reading I did the other day came to fruition the next day, but I have to do more experimenting.

So here was today's draw:



Tree + Storks + Child

My initial thought was that someone was pregnant, because of the Storks and Child combination. And as the Tree can indicate the state of someone's health, that would fit in with pregnancy as well, especially as gestation takes 9 months, and the Tree indicates something that could take awhile. But... I'm certainly not pregnant. And I don't know any other woman who is, or could be. So I started looking into other things the cards could be saying. (I won't include them here, because after doing another reading, I really think it does indicate pregnancy.)

Later this afternoon, I wanted to play with my new Pippoglyph playing cards. I usually read the playing cards in pairs, but for some reason something to told me to just lay out three cards. So I did. Again, I had nothing on my mind, and no question for the cards. I just wanted to see what the universe wanted me to know for today. Here's what came up:



10 of Clubs + King of Hearts + Jack of Clubs

Here are my meanings for these cards:

10 of Clubs: Official Business/News
King of Hearts: A male spouse or loved one
Jack of Clubs: A new friend or family member; a new baby

There's going to be some official business or news coming from a male loved one (as I don't have a partner or spouse) regarding a new friend or family member coming into his life. This definitely looks to me like a man I know will be announcing baby news, especially after comparing with my Lenormand reading this morning.

So I contacted my closest male friend to see if he and his wife are expecting another child. I know they weren't planning on having any more, so it would be a surprise if it was him. (I'm still waiting to hear back from him.) I also emailed my mom to see if my stepdad's son might be having another baby. Another possibility I'm considering is that the cards might be referring to my ex. My ex recently got married, and I'm wondering if the King of Hearts might be referring to him. In that case, it will be an elusive thing to confirm, as we aren't in contact.

My last theory is that perhaps the cards are referring to a man in Sammie's life! Since both of these decks came from her, they might still have some of her energy surrounding them, and she has seen a possible pregnancy come up in her cards recently as well. She's wondered if her son and his wife might be expecting a baby soon, which would fit in with the news coming from the King of Hearts, as it would be news from her son, rather than a daughter.

So I guess I will just have to wait it out and see if I receive any baby news soon! I'll update here if and when I do! (Sammie... you'll have to keep me in the loop on your end too!)


Update: Okay, so another few hours later, I couldn't get this pregnancy message out of my mind. I asked my new Fey Tarot to show me, in one card, if I would hear pregnancy news. I drew the Ten of Wands. The enormous orange sure looks to me like a huge round belly! And the weight of being pregnant, especially near the end, can definitely feel like the burden shown in this Ten of Wands! And there's the Tree again, from the Lenormand reading! The book which accompanies this deck even mentions "the fruit of one's labour", which sounds like a baby to me! While the meanings in the book don't ignore the strength needed to carry this burden, it seems to focus more on the positive aspects of the good fortune gained. So this card makes perfect sense, and really did confirm this message loud and clear to me.

Evening Update: Heard back from my mom, and my stepbrother has had a vasectomy, so it's definitely not him!

Three Days Later: See this post for an update (complete with photos). The pregnancy news ended up coming from my bio-dad, and it was referring to his snake! Funny that it was regarding an animal, and there are animals featured in all three of the Lenormand cards!

Daily Draw - Queen of Swords and The Star

This morning I drew the Queen of Swords and The Star. The Star has the same general feel and coloring as the Two of Swords I drew yesterday, only the Star seems to be stepping it up a notch on the vibratory scale. (These two very similar cards were both ones that I drew in the reading I did for myself two nights ago.) The flamingo on the Star card stood out to me, and reminded me of the flamingo mascot of the Florida Lotto. Today being Wednesday, it would have probably been a good sign for me to play the lotto, but alas, we won't be heading to the store today.

The first thing that I see when I look at the Queen of Swords card in this deck is Isabella Rossellini. I don't have either of the accompanying books to this deck, but many of the characters were drawn to the likeness of celebrities. I have heard that this card was inspired by Ingrid Bergman, but I think it's rather the spitting image of her daughter. I don't know anything about either of them, so that relation has nothing to do with me, I just felt the need to comment on it.

The second thing that caught my eye was the two figures in the background. An unusual feature of this deck is that several cards feature snippets from other cards in the backgrounds. The man and woman behind the Queen of Swords are taken from the Lovers card, which is funny because I've been thinking about the Lovers card lately. In almost a year of doing daily draws on this blog, I have yet to pull the Lovers card. It's the only card that hasn't yet appeared for me. So it's funny that it should slowly creep up on me, in the background of another card.

The LWB repeats the word "conscious" twice when describing this Queen. She does indeed have a very clear look about her, and she doesn't seem the type to have foggy thoughts. I can't ignore the Lovers in the background, so this card, as it relates to me, mirrors my clearcut decision to be single right now. There is no confusion, no fogginess, no indecision whatsoever about it for me. I am very happily single, and wouldn't have it any other way right now. That's not to say I rule it out forever, but I am not at all interested in a relationship right now, nor have I been for several years.

Something else I noticed was that this Queen, among various other characters in this deck, has a yellow tint to her skin, making her look jaundiced. I believe one of the many possible causes of jaundice is starvation. The Queen of Swords is often thought of as a divorced or widowed woman, and seeing her alone, holding a cold sword, while the lovers are behind her, gives me the thought that she might be starving for love. Though I don't personally relate to that feeling, I thought it was a neat train of thought.

The Star shows me enjoying my single status. I see her basking in the beauty of the night, which is the time when I get to be totally alone. After my kids are asleep, I can read and meditate and manifest and do all the things that require solitude and silence. It's refreshing and rejuvenating for me, and I cherish the time I have alone each night. The star is shining its light down, and there is also a sparkle coming from the woman's headband, indicating her mind is illuminated. The freedom of being single is a great blessing in my life right now. I'm able to spend quality spiritual time for myself at night, which I wouldn't be able to do if I had a partner.

As a side note, I did my magic dancing again last night, and when I turned on my computer this morning, the first email I received was from my mother, excitedly writing me while on vacation, telling me that she had found a book store with dozens of tarot decks, and she had bought me four decks! What a fabulous way to start my day! I knew there was something to this whole dance thing! (And it couldn't have hurt that I was happy and wonder-filled all day yesterday.)

Additional note on the Queen of Swords: I just remembered that my friend's mother is deteriorating from cancer. She isn't eating, and her skin is jaundiced. Much like the Queen of Swords is sometimes thought of, she has long been a bitter woman, which I believe is a huge contributing factor in her illness. As a child she was starved for love from her mother, and in not receiving it in the way she wanted to, she let it get the best of her and became a cold woman/mother herself, which is quite sad. This starvation (both metaphorical and literal) has manifested in physical jaundice as a result of her life threatening disease. It only makes me that much more grateful for the love I receive from my mother, and the bountiful and affectionate love I share with my children.

Daily Draw - Two of Swords and The World

Last night I did a reading for myself with this deck, and it was really, really good. The images spoke to me and the reading was just so clear. None of the cards that I disliked came up. And today, two of my favorite cards in this deck have appeared in my daily draw. Seems like this deck is trying its best to make me change my mind about it!

This morning I drew the Two of Swords and The World. The Two of Swords in this deck has a different feel than most RWS decks. This one has a much more peaceful, calm and meditative feeling about it. It's very obviously night time, and it looks like the woman's eyes are closed, and is imagining how her life would be if she were living the life of The World card. Last night I meditated in the same way. I closed my eyes and mind to the reality of what I don't want to continue in my life, and imagined it the way I want it to be. The woman in the Two of Swords has loosened up and let down her hair in the World card.

What struck me immediately about the World card is the manner in which she is dancing. She has her hands above her head, similar to the woman in the Three of Wands card of this deck, which is one of the cards that came up in my reading last night. This manner of dance is a relevant message to me. Last week, I was inspired to do something different to change my vibration. One night, for almost three hours non-stop, I danced my little heart out. I put on my MP3 player and danced around the room, having the time of my life. I finally noticed it was almost 3 a.m. so I decided it was time to go to sleep! The next day, I received an unexpected $200. I was shocked.

I have often heard that you don't have to think about money to make money, you just can't think about the lack of money. If you experience high levels of happiness, it will attract all types of abundance to you, including money. But this is the first time that I've really seen this theory in action. Not once while I was dancing did I think about money or attracting anything in particular. I just wanted to achieve a maximum level of pure joy, fun and exhilaration because I knew it could only lead to a higher vibration, thereby bringing me into better alignment with my desires. In succeeding, it attracted to me abundance in the form of money, which is something I'm always desiring, but at the time I wasn't focusing on manifesting anything in particular.

One of the songs that came on in my MP3 rotation was Desert Rose by Sting. When I hear that song, I go into Indian-dance mode and start dancing with my arms up like the woman in the World card. (That feels really silly to disclose here for some reason, but there it is.) I hit that song several times that night last week. I did the dance thing again last night. So this card (and the similar Three of Wands) is definitely speaking to me about continuing dancing. (Funny that the thing I don't like about this deck is the dancing theme, though the cards I'm talking about aren't the ballet-type that I dislike, but apparently I chose this deck for a reason this week!) Dancing is maybe an unusual method of manifestation, but it seemed to have worked, it's a fun way to bring more joy into my life, and it's not bad exercise, so why not?!? (And for a wonderful twist of synchronicity, as I was typing this paragraph, Desert Rose just started playing on my MP3 - in a rotation of over 100 songs! And my son mentioned this same song today out of the blue. He really likes the song, and today I was sharing my headphones with my daughter so she could listen to a French song, and my son asked if we were listening to "that Indian song".)

So when I saw the World card, I first saw "dance". Then I saw the magical sparkles coming out of her hands. So I thought, "magical dance", which really describes my dance manifesting! I took a gander at the LWB, which I find myself doing now that I've started posting deck reviews. It says that "the world dances the eternally magical dance". Wow! It took the words "magical dance" right out of my mouth! It also mentions "the perfect application of what was previously learned". With the dancing, I am getting back into where I was a couple weeks ago and applying what I previously learned about deliberately creating the life I want to live, just applying it with a new, creative approach. It's really fitting that this whole dance thing works in with the World card, because it's a card of achieving success and celebrating the manifestation of your desires!

So, after last night's dance, so many amazing things have happened to me today. It's been a day full of wonder and joy. One thing after another, after another... I've been surprised by life's little blessings all day, things I never saw coming! So guess what I'll be doing tonight? Anyone care to join me?

Christmas in July!

Today's mail brought me a package that made it feel like Christmas in July! My dear friend Sammie sent me a copy of the Judith Bartschi Lenormand that I have so desperately been yearning for! I'm thrilled beyond words to be able to finally have this wonderfully delightful deck in my hands... I love, love, love these cards! She also surprised me with a beautiful set of Ben Crenshaw's Pippoglyph Playing Cards for my cartomancy practice. This deck has a wonderful blend of whimsy and elegance. Unfortunately, my camera didn't pick up the intricate and gorgeous detailing of the swirls in the hearts... it's really stunning in person.

I am dancing with joy today, so grateful for such amazing gifts. Thank you so very much, Sammie!!! xoxoxo

Daily Draw - Prince of Wands and Prince of Pentacles

This week I'll be using my recently acquired Cosmic Tarot. It's one I'd had my eye on for a long while, but as soon as I got it and looked through the cards, I knew it wasn't for me. The coloring is so washed out and the images just don't do anything for me. Though this deck is much celebrated and loved by the masses, I didn't connect with it at all. There are many, many cards which portray ballet-type dancers, which I personally don't relate to on a daily basis, so I find that very off-putting. (For some reason I just can't look at the dancers metaphorically like I can with the images from the bizarre and surreal decks I have.) Since I don't like looking at the cards, it's not a deck I can ever see myself choosing for a reading. But I thought I'd give it a chance on the blog for a week and see how it reads for me since I have gotten helpful insight from my daily draws with decks I didn't like in the past.

This morning I drew the Prince of Wands and Prince of Pentacles. (Princes take the place of Knights in this deck.) These cards represent two people I have to deal with today, and I wasn't looking forward to either one. I've already gotten the Prince of Pentacles out of the way early this morning, and his expression and demeanor looked just like the Prince in the card. I'm glad to be done with that interaction today. The conversation with the Prince of Wands will hopefully go better. In the card, he has a softer look on his face than the Prince of Pentacles, so hopefully that will be an indication that the day will get better.

I would generally think of these men as Kings rather than Princes/Knights, but I think they came up as Princes because the subject matter is more raw and pressing, so there is more Price energy in them today than King energy.

Note: I'm not sure if this deck is now out of print or not, but I don't see it listed on the US Games website anymore, which is usually a good indication of one of their decks being out of print. So if you want the deck, now would probably be a good time to get your hands on one.

Daily Draw - Queen of Wands and Judgment ... and a Lenormand Draw

The Queen of Wands from my reading last night has returned. I know what she is referring to, and I can only hope that Judgment is the outcome. Last night this Queen showed up in a reading under the advice of "something to love". She represented creativity to me, so I decided to try something I'd never done with the cards before. I wanted to try using the cards to help me manifest a desire. I thought about the cards that I'd most like to see come up in a reading. I narrowed it down to five cards, and mentally went through my decks to decide which one had the best representations of those five cards, and would illustrate most easily the feeling I wanted to get from the layout. The Archeon Tarot won. So I laid out the cards and moved them around a bit until they were positioned in the way I'd like to see them come up. I used the layout I normally use for most of my readings, so that the positioning of the cards and their meanings were instantly clear and familiar. I "read" the cards for myself, as though they had just come up for me randomly. I used the power of suggestion and told myself that this was a real reading, and these cards were truly indicating what was to come!

Then I went through my MP3 player and found a beautiful and emotional piano song and while it played, I focused on each card in turn, really feeling the emotions of the cards, putting myself in the position of having the power of the cards come into my life. It was quite exhilarating!

After the song was over, I went to my computer and collected the scans of my five chosen cards. I cropped them so they would look exactly like my trimmed cards and I laid them out on the screen in the same positions as my layout. I saved them together as one image, and transfered the image to become my new desktop background. So now every time I go to my computer, I will see the "reading".

Since I was on a roll, before going to bed, I wrapped the five cards in a silk cloth, along with two gemstones, and placed them under my pillow. I think I'm going to repeat the process every day until my desire manifests (listening to that same piano song while looking at the cards and feeling the manifestation of the cards coming into my life... and sleeping with the cards under my pillow at night). I was chatting with a friend yesterday about tarot spells, and I don't really know anything about casting a spell, but I think this manifestation ritual is sort of similar, except I'm not chanting or using herbs or candles or anything.

So the Queen of Wands today represents the ritual I put together last night. I see her focusing intently, utilizing her powers of imagination. She has a lot of creative energy and I molded my energy in a very specific way last night. Stepping outside the box and doing something new is definitely something I can see this Queen doing. Judgment is hopefully showing me the end result of my efforts. I often liken Judgment to a snake shedding its skin. It leaves the old and outgrown behind for a new and improved life. If an angel trumpeting a new beginning for me is the result of my newly discovered tarot manifestation practice, I'll be quite pleased. (Judgment came up for me twice last week with the Archeon Tarot also, so it's something that's definitely in the air for me right now.)

I also wanted to share the 3-card Lenormand draw I did this morning, using my adapted Gypsy Witch deck...



Rider + Clover + Sun

Now, I'm by no means a Lenormand expert, but I think it's safe to say that it looks like I'll be receiving surprising news bringing me good luck and great joy.

The artwork featured in the Gypsy Witch deck is not the most beautiful, but I really love the style of the Sun in this deck. As I mentioned in an earlier post this week, I have removed the 16 extra cards from this deck, leaving me with the 36 Lenormand symbols. The numbering and playing card attributes in this deck differ from the Lenormand, but I'm just going by the symbols.

So all in all, it's been a really good morning with the cards!

Update: See this post for what the Rider brought me the very next day! :)

Reading: Advice for the Evening

Using my Charlotte Mason spread, I have asked the cards for advice on how to spend my time and energy this evening.

1. Something to think about...
Five of Coins
This card features a character named Jake who is looking for a new job. My brother's name is Jake and he happens to be looking for a new job! That was a pretty amazing coincidence. So I will spend some time thinking about him and sending him some good luck vibes.

2. Something to do...
The Moon
Wow, this was pretty cool as well. This card shows the Moon, with a hypnotic eye, drinking some sort of mind-altering substance. Just by the power of association, the little puppet on the table is knocked out cold. Last night as I was going to sleep, I sent some "deep sleep vibes" out into the ether, directing them toward a friend of mine who has been having trouble sleeping. I can fall asleep within seconds, so I thought I'd try to send some of that ability out her way, with the hopes of helping her get a peaceful night of sleep. This card falling under the "something to do" position suggests that I try it again tonight, either because it didn't kick in yet and I need to fine tune my psychic skills, or because it did help and she'd like me to do it again. I would only repeat this practice with her permission, so if I don't get a hold of her tonight, I may try it out on my mother instead, who has long been experiencing problems with insomnia.

3. Something to love...
The Queen of Wands
This Queen just screams "creativity" to me, as she's surrounded by paintbrushes and has a pensive look on her face. I love to create things. I love knitting, sewing, crocheting, crafting, cooking, baking, etc. For as long as I can remember, I've always been most fulfilled when I'm involved in some sort of creative project. My daughter takes the creativity gene to a whole new level. She's constantly surprising me with her inventions. She will create things in ingenious ways and I'm always so impressed with her ability to make something amazing out of nothing but her imagination. So tonight I am mindfully appreciative of the creativity that surrounds us every day.

Daily Draw - Eight of Cups and Nine of Coins

This morning I drew the Eight of Cups and Nine of Coins. I call the Eight of Cups in this deck "The Miss Tuffsy card" because whenever I see this card, the only thing I can think of is how much she reminds me of a character from an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants.

The SpongeBob episode is called "Have You Seen This Snail?", or as we call it, the "Gary Come Home" episode, since that song has been sung by my kids no less than a million times. Anyway, in this episode, Gary the Snail runs away from home because SpongeBob is so absorbed in a challenge that he forgets to feed Gary. Gary ends up being picked up by this old woman ("Grandma") who takes him home with her and feeds him constantly. SpongeBob, heartbroken, sings a sad song and goes all over town trying to find his pet snail. "Miss Tuffsy" is the name Grandma gives to Gary. But whenever I see her, I don't think "Grandma", I think "Miss Tuffsy", hence the name I have given to the character in this card. The episode ends up with Gary escaping Grandma's house after realizing SpongeBob had been searching for him. On his way out, he finds a closet full of empty snail shells, and his own shell cracks because he's been overfed. The chase scene that ensues is hilarious, as the snail and the grandma are going so slow... it always cracks me up.

Aaaaanyway, it's pretty cool how the character on the card reminds me of the character from the show, because the meaning of the card also ties in with the theme of the episode. The Eight of Cups is about leaving behind a life you're used to, in search of something more fulfilling. Gary had left his home life with SpongeBob behind because he wasn't satisfied. He hoped to find better nourishment elsewhere. But when he got what he thought he wanted, he ended up missing home, and again escaped a life where he was fed and nurtured, to return to a life where he was loved.

My Miss Tuffsy card today reminds me again of the need to continue following my goals. As I mentioned yesterday, I had begun to slip back into a rut this week, but the cards yesterday snapped me out of it. As soon as I had turned my attitude around, I saw immediate results. Two things happened last night completely out of the blue, which surprised and blessed me. I was amazed at how fast my turnaround brought happy results! This card today (and the SpongeBob story to accompany it) also reminds me of the saying, "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it". Gary the Snail went on a search for something he thought would make him happier, but it wasn't all it cracked up to be (ah, pun not intended, but funny anyway). So whatever it is I'm searching for has to come from within, no matter where I am. Then I'm sure to find the joy I'm looking for wherever I go and whatever I do.

The Nine of Coins appears for the second time this week. "Grandma" appears to be walking away from the Nine of Coins. She's on to find the next snail to fatten up, and Gary has returned to be SpongeBob's little sidekick. SpongeBob is playing the violin, celebrating his beloved pet's return. The Nine of Coins is about independence, and finding your niche in life, and Gary has finally come home to the life he has chosen.

These cards remind me that it's okay to make mistakes, and that if you reach for something you think you want and it doesn't turn out the way you had hoped it would, there's always a way to either return home or reach for a different path. But you'll never know if you don't try. Being paralyzed by "what if's" will lead you nowhere. And even a failed attempt at something will at least provide you with a story to tell.

I see in these cards that there's a delicate balance of searching for what you want (Eight of Cups) and being satisfied with what you have (Nine of Coins) and I think there is definitely a way to manage both at the same time, which is what I'm working on now. Yet again, another really inspiring message from these bizarrely quirky cards.

Daily Draw - Magician and Knight of Wands

Today I drew the Magician and Knight of Wands. The Magician in this deck looks so blasé, as though he's lost all passion for his ability to create magic. His act has lost its luster. The Knight of Wands on the other hand is thoroughly entranced and delighted in his task.

These cards are here as a reminder for me. In recent weeks, I've been really fired up and excited about what I was doing and where I was headed. This week I sort of lost a bit of my enthusiasm, and have found myself feeling a bit more apathetic. Like the Magician, I know I have all the power within me to create whatever I want, but I've let myself get a little bored by life. I need to follow the example of the Knight of Wands and let whatever I'm doing bring a smile to my face, and regain the wonder of life. This was a very timely and important message that I really needed to be reminded of today!

Daily Draw - The Tower and Death

Yikes!!! Now this isn't a pair of cards you'd deliberately go fishing out of the deck to group together for your daily draw! I have no idea how these cards are going to play out today, but when I drew them, I had to laugh in disbelief. I will say that this deck has the most bright, cheerful and happy-go-lucky Death card I've ever seen, so maybe that's saying something.

I'll update this post later if a Tower-ific event comes my way. It almost looks like it might be an earth shattering idea I might get, because of the way the lightning bolt has seared right through the tower's head (the tower on this card has a face). So it looks like it might be something that just blows my mind... and will make me do a happy dance, celebrating the death of my old way of thinking, and rejoicing in the new to come.

...Or maybe that's just me being hopelessly optimistic! I will say that these cards have made me turn my happiness meter up higher than usual today, as a way to counteract anything bad that might potentially happen, and soften the blow a bit.

Update: Well, nothing major happened yesterday, it was a very uneventful day. I did have a small "a-ha!" moment, and it really wasn't anything that would normally warrant the appearance of the Tower, but looking back today, it makes sense. I've been wanting to read Lenormand cards for a long while now. Months ago, I found the only Lenormand deck I wanted to buy (Judith Bartschi), and I have stubbornly refused to purchase any other. This deck isn't available in the US, so I have yet to get myself a copy. But last night I was "struck" with a bright idea. I first decided that I would just take an ordinary deck of playing cards, and match them up with the Lenormand cards, drawing a little symbol on each one to represent the Ship, House, etc. As I was digging through my cards, I found my Gypsy Witch deck, which was even better! So instead, I went through the deck and simply removed the superfluous 16 cards until I was left with the traditional Lenormand 36. I was very pleased with myself for "discovering" my new Lenormand deck. (And very happy that this deck did include the same base 36 cards.)

So, inspired by Sammie and Chanah, I laid out all 36 cards out in a Grand Tableau spread last night. I spent awhile interpreting them using many of the methods Sammie and Chanah have shared. I was also delighted to find myself creating new methods of reading the layout as I was looking at the spread. Such fun! There are so many possibilities, and from what I can already verify, it's strikingly accurate. I'll have to wait and see how the "future" cards pan out, but it looks promising!

So the Tower may have just been referring to this new realization that I came to, that I already had a Lenormand deck in disguise, hiding in my drawer. The piece of the Tower that has been severed from the rest of the building represents the cards in the Gypsy Witch deck that I separated from the group, so that I could put the deck to use. The Death card is the end of my waiting for my "perfect" deck to manifest, and improvising instead. I'm dancing with excitement about my new reading hobby!

What's funny is that when I first took my Gypsy Witch deck out, I drew three cards, and the Tower was one of the cards! So it really seems that the tarot Tower was pointing to the Gypsy Witch deck! I also see a lot of similarities between these two cards and the Lenormand. There's a tower, cross, scythe, tree and sun!

A Phantasmagoric Reading

Okay so I did a quick reading on the situation that has me bothered and thought I'd share...


...........Problem......................Cause.....................Solution......................Result..............

1. The Nature of the Situation (The Problem Itself)
Five of Cups
Wow, I love it when the cards do this. It's like talking to a person rather than a deck of cards when they throw the reality out at you like this. The Five of Cups is precisely the problem I'm reading about, as I first talked about in my daily draw this morning when this same card appeared. I feel disappointed and betrayed because someone I counted on let me down.

2. The Cause of the Problem
King of Wands
Yes! It's this guy! Look at him... he's rolled the die and it has landed on K for Kiki!!! That's what he's supposed to be focusing on. But he's shifted his attention, and his eyes are now entertained elsewhere. He's not concerned about following through with his decision. He's decided that the K stands for King instead, and is off to go see to some other Kingly duty.

3. The Solution to the Problem
Ten of Coins
This card speaks of community. From the LWB: "The Earth Coin Village works as a community. Those who live in it share with each other, helping to build a better village..." It looks like I'm not supposed to give up on this King just yet. He may have more than one thing weighing on his mind, and though he wasn't able to come through for me when he said he could, perhaps I shouldn't rule him out altogether. His energy just may be spread out to more than he can handle in a timely manner right now. I'm being encouraged to believe that there will be enough resources to go around, and there will still be a way to get what I needed from this King, whether it comes from him, someone else in my community, or myself.

4. The Result of the Outcome
Six of Wands
Well, what have we here? The King is back, and he's delivering a vase of wands to... me?! I look back at the King of Wands card and see he has only one wand in his hand, with the number 5 on his hat. The hat tops his head, indicating where his thoughts are. He has abandoned my needs in search of something more important. He needs to get five more wands. I'm thinking he went and pulled the five wands out of poor Lucy's head. So perhaps this King in my life has to make a detour first... maybe there is a more pressing need that he needs to attend to, and he has to go relieve someone's "pain" (which is either more urgent than mine or was first in line) before he can focus his energy on me and my needs. When the King finally gets around to the Six of Wands card, the 5 on his hat is gone, but there is now a 6 on the vase. He's saved Lucy, moved on past the 5, and is now there for me.

So in the end, it looks like he just might come through afterall. This was a really encouraging thing to see, and I will have to wait and see, and perhaps not give up all hope just yet. Because of the 6 on the vase of manifestation, I'm going to give this situation six days and see what more, if anything, comes of it. I also now see the 5 on the King's hat to mean that he hasn't forgotten where he has left me in the 5 of Cups card. And as long as I'm using hats as metaphors to what's on one's mind, have a gander at the future and my pink hat in the Six of Wands card. It's taller than my body, indicating that my thoughts on the matter continued to grow and grow and grow, until the King finally came through. So I will mellow out about it a bit, before my thoughts on the matter overtake me! And we shall see what happens. It would be nice if the cards played out in real life, and the situation worked itself out.

(This spread was just one I threw together to give me the specific answers I was looking for.)

Daily Draw - Five of Cups and Nine of Coins

This morning I drew the Five of Cups and Nine of Coins. The Five of Cups illustrates my disappointment with someone who let me down last night. He had promised me something and ended up not coming through. In this card, we see Nardia shackled to the wall. She is waiting for people to come back and free her, as they had promised to return in an hour. That's a pretty specific promise, as was the one I was given. The people have not returned for Nardia. They have promised more than they could deliver. This is what happened with me last night. And I felt really let down. I still do.

The Nine of Coins reminds me that I need to depend on myself, rather than relying on the promises of others. The violinist has achieved success and it was all her own doing. This is the life I am used to, which is why I rarely ask for or accept help from others. And it kinda sucks because it would be nice to be able to depend on someone's word once in awhile, but on the rare occasion that I do, this is what usually happens. So I have learned to do everything on my own.

So I'm a little bitter today. But it's my own doing, as I guess I should have known better by now that if I want something done, I need to do it myself without anyone else's assistance. But still... don't promise something you can't deliver. Grrrrr....

Note: The little mouse in the Nine of Coins card reminds me of my kids, and how grateful I am that, young as they are, they have always been (and continue to grow into) people who I can (and do) trust in.

Deck: Phantasmagoric Theater Tarot

Daily Draw - Two of Cups and Five of Wands

The cards I drew this morning reminded me of the importance of spending quality one-on-one time with each of my kids. This is sometimes a challenge with three of them and one of me, but I do try to spend some individual time with each of them every day.

The Two of Cups makes me think of that amazing feeling that you get when you're with someone, and the whole world disappears around you. The white nothingness in the background of this card gives me that feeling. It's just the two of them, and nothing else exists. This is probably how it feels for my kids when they each get some alone time with me.

The Five of Wands is a pretty harsh example of competition. According to the LWB, here we have Lucy, determined to get accepted into the Fire Wand Circus. She has to venture above and beyond the competition, so she goes to the extreme, puncturing five wands through her head. If that doesn't do it, I don't know what will! The girl's got no legs, so perhaps she thinks she needs to be a more extreme competitor than the other circus hopefuls. This is a rather exaggerated way to illustrate the competition between my kids for some alone time with me. Though they don't go to such lengths as this (thankfully!), there is a bit of "What about me?" involved. When I take the time to snuggle up with one daughter, the other always pouts and complains that she wanted to snuggle. When I sit down to play cards with my son, one of the girls will whine that she wanted to spend time with me. When I grab my son for a cuddle, he pretends I'm smothering him and tries to wiggle free, but the instant one of his sisters weasels her way in between us to free him and take his place, he clings on to me for dear life, suddenly changing his mind. So there is a bit of competition for my affection, but usually it's when they see it's being given to someone else.

I'll continue to be mindful of the importance of giving each of them a portion of my undivided attention, so that they have their daily serving of that special Two of Cups nothing-else-exists-but-us feeling.

Update: These cards came to pass in an unexpected (and unfortunate) manner today. My youngest daughter was slamming the heavy outside door shut, just as my older daughter (unseen to my younger daughter) decided to walk through the door, and the door slammed her head into the concrete wall. She suffered an immediate lump on the head, which probably made her feel quite like Lucy in the Five of Wands. I see the stars in the card, like those cartoons which show stars and little birds flying around you when you have a head injury. So my daughter did get some extra TLC and one-on-one time with me, though not in the way she would have probably liked, as I administered ice to her poor head.

Daily Draw - Nine of Swords and Page of Swords

This week I'll be using the Phantasmagoric Theater Tarot for my daily draws. Thank you so much to those of you who voted in the poll to choose the deck of the week! I knew I wanted something bright and fun, but for the first time, I just couldn't decide on a deck for the week. I thought it'd be fun to post a poll and let others decide for me!

Phantasmagoric Theater won 50% of the votes, Housewives Tarot getting 33% and Vanessa trailing in at 16%. So thanks to everyone who participated in the poll and made the decision for me!

This morning I drew the Nine of Swords and Page of Swords. For those of you who have been following my posts, I know you probably can't wait until I move already, so I can stop blogging about it. But I can't help what comes up in the cards!

In the Nine of Swords we have a princess locked up in a room. She looks out at the castle in the distance. This is me trapped where I am, longing to escape to my new home.

The Page of Swords tugs at the stitches on his mouth with his sword. He's been silent long enough, and he's removing the stitches so that he can finally speak up. This was me last night. I had thought about it enough, and I decided to move forward with the temporary interim move. I spoke up and began negotiations.

The LWB that comes with this deck is very interesting, as it gives insight into the characters in each card, including the Minors. Here's what it says about the Nine of Swords: "A Princess stands alone, gazing at a castle through a hole in the wall. The castle and its freedom have become unattainable. The Princess is trapped, and a sense of loneliness and isolation fills her soul. To reach the castle she must talk about what it is that holds her prisoner." This was interesting to me, because it mentions the need to talk, which is exactly what I saw in the Page of Swords card.

I have wanted to move out of here since we moved here just over a year ago now. But it's only been very recently that I've gotten a bee in my bonnet about it. All of a sudden, the desire has reached a new level, and I am starting to do something about it. It has now become a priority that I free myself from a place I don't want to be, and by speaking out about it (to myself, to my kids, on this blog, etc.), the wheels have now been set into motion.

The LWB says of the Page of Swords, "...Sebastian reminds us of the importance of learning all the facts and figures before jumping into a situation." This reminds me of the raven in the Seven of Swords I drew with the Archeon Tarot yesterday, and how I need to be sure I know what I'm getting into before diving into a new setting. I'll be sure to keep in mind the need for me to speak up if there's something about the new transition that doesn't seem quite right. But for now, I feel happy that I have actually "removed my stitches" and took that first step into communicating my desire to work out the plans for the new move.

Daily Draw - Seven of Swords and Nine of Wands

Today I drew the Seven of Swords and Nine of Wands. It looks to me like the fella in the Nine of Wands is burning up in flames. He's much too close to the sun, and he's about to be consumed by the fire. The raven in the Seven of Swords card is in control, as he has the sun dangling on a chain from his beak. Is he an unlikely hero about to save this guy from his fiery doom, flying away with the sun, creating a safer distance from the man? Or will he keep the sun where it is, torturing the poor guy slowly? Yet another option would be to drop the sun on the man, ending both his misery and any potential future joy in one quick instant.

Well, the first impression that I got when I turned these cards over was that the raven looked as though he was there to rescue the man. The man is looking up. He sees the raven and knows his fate lies with the bird's intentions. He stands strong, ready for whatever may come. But he has made it this far, and hopes for the best.

The feeling that I get from these cards is that there may be help on the way for me, from an unlikely source. There will be relief to something that I have toiled long and hard through. Now is not the time to give up. Assistance is just around the corner. However, it would be wise for me to consider what this "raven" might expect from me, if anything, in return for the favor.

Deck: Archeon Tarot

Daily Draw - The Star and Three of Wands

The cards I drew today relate to something that happened to me last night. Boy, is it ever hard to blog using the Archeon! It's such a deep and personal deck for me.

Okay, so last night I had a vision. I occasionally have precognitive visions. Sometimes I know they're precognitive at the time, but usually I don't realize it until it comes true later. Last night I had one that I assume is going to come true because it was similar to one I had several years ago. The vision I had last night was of meeting someone. I know what he looks like, I know his name and a bunch of other things about him, even though I've never met him. This happened to me once before. In a quick flash, I knew all these things about someone who I didn't even know existed, and within a month or so I met him and everything I "knew" from my vision turned out to be true. So last night it happened again with another person. I can't say for certain if I will ever really meet him, but I rather think I will.

When I drew my cards this morning, they reminded me of this vision. The Star card jumped out at me saying, "It's in the stars! It's destined that you will meet." I got the feeling that there was this universal alignment in the works. The Three of Wands speaks of things manifesting, and this particular card shows a pegasus, a magical creature, indicating that my foresight will make the manifestation of our meeting all the more magical when it happens.

I've always wanted to meet someone I had seen in a vision who had also seen me in a vision! Obviously that would be pretty miraculous, but it wouldn't get much more magical than that! From what I saw last night, this man and I will find each other very familiar, as though we've always known each other. There will be that instant, unspoken click.

So...we shall see. I don't have any sort of timing device connected with my visions, which leaves me in suspense and at the mercy of fate. But at least I have something interesting to look out for!
