This morning I drew these three cards and the phrase "Your word is your wand" immediately came to mind. The Ace of Wands seemed very certainly to belong to the Magician. And the woman in the Two of Swords is unable to use her eyes, as they are blindfolded, or her hands, as they are full. She can only speak. Her word is her only wand. And she is surrounded on both sides by magic wands. These cards affirm to me the magical power I have to create whatever I want in my life.
This makes perfect sense to me, as I have recently picked up Florence Scovel Shinn's The Game of Life and How to Play It, and I'm now reading it for a second time. There are many copies of this book available, but the link I posted brings you to the awesome copy I have, which includes her four books in one. One of these books is "Your Word is Your Wand". Her motivational books were originally published in the 1920's - 1940's and revolve around manifesting reality. She, like Neville Goddard, used Bible stories as metaphysical metaphors. I find it a bit baffling when I hear people say they her books are "too religious", when she clearly points out the metaphysical equivalent to the verses she sites, rather than referring to the passages literally.
In any case, her compilation of books have been very inspiring to me, and have helped keep my energy up during these chaotic and stressful weeks. When I start to feel a bit overwhelmed, like I can't do it all, I read a quick chapter and I'm immediately inspired again. Good stuff!
