  This week's cards! Can you feel the excitement?
I am going to try to get this done with the kitten sitting on my hands. Wish me luck

First card

Cow (C)(R)- Examine the way in which you give to the world. If you think your resources are limited then you will be less likely to give. You can only give if you can receive. How easy is that for you?

Well that is on point. Right now I am feeling none of that.

and the  next


Swan (C)(R)- Come to terms with a separation. Remember that Swan tells us that its not a separation but a transformation so look into your heart and see what needs to be transformed.

I don't know. We shall see.        

 

Long time no post. Despite not putting here what I pull there is still a weekly divination. I will try to be better about posting it. Helps me to look back.

After the rough waters of last week there will hopefully be better weeks ahead. My leg is slowly getting back to 100% but I am still taking it easy until I am sure. Don't want to permanently damage anything.

Anyway- on to the cards eh?

Hare (C)(R)- Hare coming in on it's head may be telling you that you are spending too much time with your head up your astral. Time to get a little balance back into your life. Wisdom comes from many source and common sense may be needed more than ever this week.

Considering how much mundane stuff I have to get done this week this does not surprise me. Focus is the byword of the day it seems

Dragonfly (NA)- Dragonfly is the element of change looking to blow through your life. You may need to look over the illusions you hold on to that restrict your life or examine habits that might need change. In any case, change is the order of the day.

Change is on the way no doubt. Let's see how much ok? :)

That is it for tonight kids. More later.

Woohoo! another post! 

Cards pulled and studied, I will post the cards below but the iChing later.


First card-

Wolf (C)- Wolf brings strong sense of inner strength and intuition, also learning. SOmetimes you need to go beyond the bounds of "normal" behavior in order to learn and grow. This may be painful but you need not fear the inner power and strength you feel when you spend time alone.

 Well I am getting used to being alone. So far so good.

Second card -

Horse (C)- Horse tells us it's time to journey. Whether it's in the physical world or an inner journey she wil bring energy to help on your travels. Become comfortable with every aspect of the life cycle and take joy in your time between the earth and the sun.

Sun? The Daystar eludes us. Seriously- hear that? pay attention

Ok kids, getting tired. Have a great night

Well, this will be my third attempt to get this down. Let's hope this time I do a little better than the last two.

What a crazy chaotic week it's been! The winds outside the window are winds of change I think. Let's see what progress will be made this week.

First card-

Air Dragon (C)(R)- Constant reality testing will be the word of the day. You are in danger of becoming servant to a dogma or an idea. A good grounding will help keep you from becoming too rigid in your thinking.

I am trying! Honest! I am unlearning at as fast a clip as I can without having it mean nothing.

Second card-

Raven (C)(R)- This card suggests you should become aware of the forces of destruction that exist in your life. Drawing this card means you may now be able to come to terms with your own destructiveness. It may mean coming to a resolution of the conflict of opposites.

Ha! That is all I am going to say about that.

Well I haven't been here much lately I know (more on why in a bit) but something don't change so here are my cards for the week. :) 


First card -

Raven (C)(R)- Raven reminds us that there is no light without darkness. It is time to come to terms with your own destructiveness- a rage that has perhaps been buried for years. It may also mean we can come to the resolution of opposites, experiencing the idea that there is darkness in light and light in darkness.

 oh damn.. many times I am not sure what my cards are trying to tell me but in this case I know 100 % what they are telling me. How the hell I solve this dark rage I do not know but it looks like this is the week to do it. I have been thinking about this all weekend so it's like someone read my mind. ooooohhhh....

and the Second

Cow (C)(R)- How freely are you giving of yourself? If you feel anxious then you are less likely to give or receive that which others offer. Now is the time to examine why you think your resources are limited and remember those that give also receive.

  Yeah! so there :P  actually this is neither a shock nor surprising. Something for someone to work on.

Last week I started this whole find my roots thing as Salmon indicated I should. The things I am learning are pretty nifty actually. The hardest part is wedding the me of my genetics with the me of my soul. That will be an ongoing process it seems.

Ok, time to add to the stew.

So much going on! For the moment though let's just do this one regular thing then maybe we will go over other things.


First card -

Deer (NA)(R) If reversed Deer has found its way into your cards today it is asking you to love yourself so you can face your fears. You may be so deep you do not realize that you are projecting your fears onto others instead of facing them. Unconditional love is no strings attached that means for yourself too.

 How much longer do i have to love myself. I am actually feeling pretty good about me right now. shhhhh

Second card-

Bee (C)(R)- You are feeling unsure and out of place in your world. If you find you are lacking motivation it may be that you need Bee medicine. You may need to prod yourself into action before others do the prodding for you. SPend some time thinking about your role in life and then make decisions in accordance with your sense of purpose and the resulting goals. Celebrate life and our place in it.

Well duh, how many times have i said this? ;) 

More on last week later for now -


Porcupine (NA)(R)- Why aren't you willing to trust again? What innocence have you lost that is keeping you from joy in life? Are you willing to trust yourself? These are the questions you need to answer. Porcupine is telling you it's time to let yourself be vulnerable a bit. The rewards are worth it.


 sigh.. Not going to happen. The two people in my life I do not trust have earned it.


and the other thing -

Beaver (NA)(R) - Beaver here is letting you know to open new doors of opportunity and stay aware. This is a warning apathy may sneak up on you so stay alert! Visualize the goal you wish to accomplish and be willing to work with others to achieve that end.



Also just a reminder - Mercury goes retrograde on September 7th so heads up kids!

My card for this week -


Dog (C)(R) - This card asks you to examine the degree to which you or those around you may be lacking in faithfulness and loyalty. Ask yourself to what extent you value this and to what extent your friends and lovers express these values. But remember that sometimes loyalty and faithfulness can be inappropriate - a dog is often anxious to please even a cruel owner.

I also had a second card fall into my lap (literally)

Armadillo (NA)(R) - Ypu may think the only way to win is to hide but this is not true. Pretending you are armor coated and invincible is not the way to grow. It is better to open up and find the value and strength of your vulerability. You will experience something wonderful if you do.




Interesting. IT should be an interesting week.

Two cards this am - the one I chose and the one that fell in my lap.


First one -

Otter (Celtic) - Otter is here to remind you that all work and no play makes Lisa a dull girl. Otter reminds you that taking some time to rest, relax, play and refresh yourself is a key part of staying productive. Take a day and rest.


and the one that chose me -


Prairie Dog (NA) -  If Prairie Dog has tunneled into your cards today its time to retreat for a little much needed R&R. Your resserves are runnung low and it is time to rest before sickness forces you to. Take a step back, rest and come at things from a new perspective. Sometimes the best move is the one away.



hmmm..... I wonder what they are trying to say :P

So this morning at the end of my meditation I did a quick card read for the beginning of the year.

Here it is -

East-House of Thought - Sow (C)(R) - Sow is coming up reverse in your cards to remind you that you need to revise your image of yourself. Without wisdom beauty is worthless.

South- House of Passion/Relationships - Wren(C)- Tells us that "small is beautiful".That self realization lies in humility, gentleness and subtlety.

West - House of Emotions - Air Dragon(C)- This is a bolt of lightening to the psyche. He is a messenger of the Gods. Pay attention to your dreams and thoughts.

North- House of Goods/"Real World" - Owl (NA) - Owl is asking you to use keen insight to look into a life situation. She can bring you messages in the night in dreams. Pay attention to signals and omens.

Center - House of Spirit- Whale(NA)- Find those who sing the songs in our DNA and let them sing for you. Open that shared memory and express you. If you do this the totems will open themselves up to you and thru you. They will speak to you.



After doing this J and I headed out to attempt to bring him home and had an encounter. We were out on the road by ourselves, the snow swirling, creating a grey curtain around us. In the road there was an object that first looked like a stone or a lump of ice but when we got closer it turned out to be a hawk. We stopped and the hawk just sat there on its kill looking at us thru that grey silence. All of a sudden it took off with its prey.Suddenly the pigeon it had caught wriggled free of the hawks claws and took off with the hawk in swift pursuit.
I cannot shake the feeling that this is one of those signs my cards asked me to look for so I am asking you wise beings to help me try and figure it out. I am going to screen comments and let them be anonymous so you can be 100% honest with me.


Thanks guys
