Spirit of the Wheel Oracle Reading 09/09/14

Hello!

Tonight there is a gorgeous full moon outside :) I forgot she was coming, but am so happy to see her again... the month moves so fast - before we know it, it will be the new moon again! In Australia, Ostara is coming... for the Northern Hemisphere,  Mabon is on the way :)

Here is today's reading, using the Spirit of the Wheel Meditation Deck. It's lovely - I find this deck warm, with a soft strength to it. Does that make sense?

I think this reading reaffirms that we are on the right path - that we are being guided by something greater than ourselves - and that they are guiding us through healing and finding our truths.

Grandmother Moon is a lovely supportive energy - we are becoming more connected with our psyche, and becoming used to listening to our inner voices. She is here to let us know we can trust our intuition, and that now is the time to find ways to connect with our higher selves - either creatively - through music, dance, or art, or through a more introspective means like meditation and self-reflection. Perhaps it is time to try automatic writing or taking up oracle or tarot cards :)

The Frog Clan card brings healing and renewal. You may have been going through a hard time, shedding the past or stuff you don't need. Healing isn't easy. It opens old or fresh wounds and cleaning out the gunk can really hurt. It can be really emotional - usually is really emotional - but let yourself cry, let yourself wallow - it is all part of the process.  Take time to connect with water - spend time by water, have a nice relaxing bath when you feel down - even nurture yourself by drinking more water!

The Creator card is a strong card to end with - it deals with manifestation of your dreams and connecting with the Great Spirit. Consider your faith in the Divine or how you conceptualise yourself in this universe - where do you belong, and where do you want to be?? Check your goals and how your plans are guiding you further towards your dreams.

Here are the actual meanings for the cards:

~ Grandmother Moon ~

Keywords – self-reflection, inner rhythms, intuition

Prophecy – Trust your instincts when it comes to matters of the heart. Just as Grandmother Moon moves through different stages to complete her cycle, you, too, can learn to follow the natural rhythms of your own body.

Take a look at your life. Are you at the seed stage of a relationship or project? If so, call upon the energies of Grandmother Moon to help you see it through to completion. Now is the opportune time for you to explore your body’s own natural rhythms.

If you are working in a creative field, discover your peak productive moments by becoming one with the creative powers within you. Your psychic abilities are strengthening now so pay close attention to the messages around you. Grandmother Moon offers the gift of self-reflection. Take the time no to delve into your inner self so you can learn to make the most of your natural creative rhythms.

Prayer – I take the necessary time to learn of my body’s natural rhythms. I honour you, Grandmother Moon, for teaching me to become one with the creative power within me.

~ Frog Clan ~

Key words – cleansing, release, healing

Prophecy:  In this overwhelming time, the Frog Clan card symbolises the feeling of swimming against the current. When we are working against our own nature and allowing past worries to build, we need the Frog Clan to aid in clearing away the heavy emotional baggage. In this state of high stress, even the simplest obstacle seems magnified. Release the Pressure and heal yourself on all levels. Let the flow of tears wash away your pain and leave you feeling cleansed.

The Frog Clan focuses on the healing that is needed by you or someone close to you. By being empathetic and allowing others to freely express their feelings, you can offer the support they need. Never underestimate the power of compassion.

Frog Clan teaches us to connect to the healing powers of water, which is the emotional flow within our lives. If the flow is famed up then we begin to feel the pressure building within us. Allow your emotions to flow freely and encourage the same in others.

Prayer: Through the gift of the Frog Clan I learn to connect with the healing aspects of water. Within the flow I learn to freely express my emotions and cleanse away any negativity. I offer compassion in myself and to others. For this, my spirit is stronger.

 ~ Creator ~

Keywords – awareness, co-creation, change

Prophecy – the Creator card brings a period of examining your faith and your values. There is a strong desire for change and redirection in your life. Here, you are given the gift of awareness. A hidden truth may be revealed to you, or a new understanding unveiled to you in the near future. This newfound information will bring about necessary changes. Connect with the oneness of Great Spirit through your prayers and beliefs. Co-create the hopes and dreams you have envisioned by experiencing change, and letting go of whatever is no longer serving your highest good. The Creator card is a gentle reminder that if you have faith in Great Spirit and yourself, you can overcome any obstacle towards change. Having faith in the great mystery allows the necessary changes to unfold.

Prayer – With the greatest of honour I open myself to the complete truth of who I am. I trust, Great Spirit, that you will assist me on my path. Help me to build my dreams and develop my potential for the higher good.

Will you come? Do you dare?

~ Ariadne ~

In the deepening twilight
She stands
Just inside the entrance
To her cave, ...
Beckoning

"Come," she softly calls
"Follow me."
"But I'm afraid," you tell her
"I fear I will be lost in there
"And they say that there are Minotaurs."

You peer into the labyrinth
Behind her
The twisting passages
Winding away
To nothing....

Out here the familiar world
Crashes on.
The Sea of Sexism,
the City of Doom.
She lifts her proud dark gaze in scorn
" 'Tis there one meets the Minotaur."

In the shadow gleams her crescent crown
A snake stirs at her breast
And in her hand she holds the Thread
Unravelling a strand
And offering...

Will you come
Oh my sister
Will you come?

Angels and Goddesses interactive oracle reading 1/09/14

Long time, no see?!

I've been off doing other things of late, doing some inner exploration which you will see in some other blog posts I've yet to type up. But it has been a long while since my last interactive oracle reading that I decided to do one today.

I chose the Goddess Guidance cards and the Healing with Angels cards because I'm feeling pretty good at the moment - today is the first day of Spring here in Australia and I'm feeling the hope and happiness of warm weather and sunny days.

For the first time in a long time, this last week I have been nurturing myself :) If you knew me personally, you would know I usually stay up past midnight every night and then drink copious amounts of Pepsi Max everyday - but for the last week I've been in bed by 9 (usually asleep around 10 lol it takes a while) and going to the gym everyday and drinking lemon/lime/cucumber/mint infused water every day. I feel great! yay! Now to keep this up and make it a new lifestyle :)

So I think the positivity I am feeling has come through the cards - maybe all the soul searching is on pause for now, and it is time to live, love and dream again: )

Ok, rambling over!

I find this reading really affirming :) That I am on the right path and that it is leading to a brighter and happier future. It also tells me that my guides are cheeky and are making a point themselves - I love the cards they select to get the message across. I wish I could explain, but any reader will know what I mean :)

The Goddess cards are telling us to stand up for ourselves - to nurture ourselves and to step back from things if we need to. We are our own best friends, and sometimes our own worst enemy. It's time to love yourself again and nurture yourself :) Do things you love, things that make you happy. Don't compare yourself to others.

They also tell us to take responsibility for our own actions - to have firm faith in what we believe in and to be prepared to make a stand. You don't have to prove anything to the whole world, only yourself. If you can sleep soundly with the decisions you have made and the forgiveness you have given yourself and others, then you are doing better than a lot of people!

The Angel cards lso tell us to lighten up. Stop taking yourself and everyone else so seriously. Life is meant to be light-hearted and fun at times too! You have to balance out the seriousness and responsibility... so go and do something silly!

If you trust the Universe to guide you, and just follow your intuition, everything will turn out as it should. :)

Here are the actual meanings of the cards:

~ Bast – Independent ~

“Your independence is a foundation for your strength and success”

Like the cat, you’re fiercely independent, yet you also need affection and playful companions. Now is the time to balance your social institutions with solitude. While you may ask others for their opinions, ultimately you must make your own decisions. Your freedom and independence are top priorities, so ensure that these characteristics are nurtured. 

* Spend time alone * Give yourself permission to play * Ask for your needs to be met * Make your own decision * Work with cats * Pay attention to your pet feline and/ or get a new cat

~ Sekhmet – Be Strong ~

“You are stronger than you think you are, and your strength assures a happy outcome.”

See yourself as strong and victorious. Don’t complain about anything. Don’t blame anyone or any condition. You’re the embodiment of strength, not victimhood.  As you rise above the old tendencies and see yourself in the new light of beautiful feminine strength, your life will automatically shift in miraculous ways. You’ll attract new opportunities, forms of abundance, and relationships to help you manifest your higher potential. Being strong means seeing yourself in the most favourable light you can imagine. Be real, allow yourself to feel genuine emotions, but most of all, be strong. 

* Don’t underestimate yourself * Don’t yield to pressure or temptation * Avoid complaining or indulging in negative thinking * Engage in weight-training exercises to make your body stronger.

~ Ishtar – Boundaries ~

“Love yourself enough to say no to others’ demands on your time and energy.”

A sincere desire to give of service is wonderful. However, there’s a distinction between giving of yourself and giving up yourself. If you feel tired, guilty, or resentful while helping others, then you’re not truly helping them, are you? You’re injecting poisonous energies into the relationship, and then no one benefits. Step back and reassess the situation. As you respect your own boundaries, others will begin to recognise and respect them within you, and within themselves as well. Now that’s a healthy behaviour to teach to others!

*You’re giving too much * Become more assertive * Don’t do things out of guilt or obligation * 


~ Divine Guidance ~

Trust and follow your intuition. It is God and the angels speaking to you. 
 
You are being Divinely guided right now. The gut feelings you have, the knowingness, the vision or the inner voice are all trying to tell you something, and it is very important that you trust and follow this guidance. 


If you drew more than one card, pay close attention to the cards that are on either side of the divine Guidance” card – they contain important instructions for you. These nearby cards feature facets of the message that the angels seek to impress upon you. 


~ Ideas and Inspiration ~

Pay attention to new thoughts and idea that come to you. They are seeds of magnificent

co-creations with God. 

God speaks to you through your thoughts, and this card shows that the angels want you to notice and follow the ideas you have recently received. These thoughts are answers to your prayers for guidance, so please don’t discount them as mere imagination.

By drawing this card, the angels seek to give you confidence that you are just as capable of receiving wonderful ideas as any other child of God. That is because all wonderful ideas originate from the one Divine mind of God. Since God is omnipresent, meaning everywhere, God is within you. So, God’s mind continuously expresses new thoughts and ideas right inside your mind! 


~ Playfulness ~

Fun and Play is the Angel's way! They guide you to add fun to your life, and to know that fun is a necessity, not a luxury.

The Angels know that you have a lot of responsibilities and that you need a steady flow of time, money, and other resources. By drawing this card, the angels want you to know that regular doses of fun can help you accomplish your goals. You may protest that you don't have enough time, money, or energy to play. Yet your angels assure you that playfulness is a wonderful investment that yields immediate returns.

When you have fun and laugh, you relax. This relaxation gives you a greater inflow of ideas, spiritual connections, Divine guidance, and energy. With the new inspirations and energy, you can better manifest your desires. Your relaxed and radiant personality attracts wonderful and helpful people to you. Your positive outlook creates new opportunities for you. When you look at life in this way, you can't afford not to have fun.
