Card of the Day April 25th 2020 Waxing Moon 8.9% in Gemini

This gorgeous card comes from one of my first and favourite decks- Goddess Guidance Oracle. I love this message and it is one that has been coming for me a lot! It took me a lot of  years to realize I am kind of a control freak. I want what I want, when I want it and how I want it. This sort of worked for a while until my children became teenagers.

I had to choose to release some control/force or be constantly nagging them. If you find you can relate- trust me on this- Surrender. Put down your battle flags of righteousness and just surrender. Most of the time, the harder we push or force the more resistance we receive.

The divine Celtic Goddess Oonagh (pronounced OO-nuh) comes to us to remind us that that there is competition for our true life’s purpose. There is no need to rush or force things to happen. “Surrender more than trying – will get your spirits flying”, is one of my favourite lines in a song. It is true!

“Never mind what other people think: you will benefit by carrying through with your priorities. You’ll feel so good about yourself if you make time for relationships and priorities that truly count in your heart”

<3 in Love and Surrender

It is a special day in our house – Clintmas Eve as well it. It is the night before Clintmas, also know as my partner Clint’s birthday! In his honour I picked the “Dragon Oracle” deck for today’s card!

Source Dragon is the last card in this deck. Source Dragons are the 12th dimensional being that is the centre of the universe where there is an infinite stillness and love. Source Dragon comes  to you today to help you remember to breathe.

Breathe.

That beautiful, magickal prana. I encourage everyone to develop a regular meditation practice but remember anywhere and anytime you always have breath. If you find yourself feeling a little out of touch or ungrounded, breathe deeply and take in your surroundings to ground yourself. I find this practice is a great antidote to panic or anxiety. I will plant my feet firmly on the ground and take a deep breath, or many, and sit in silence taking in all my surroundings. This helps to find my centre again. That is beauty of meditation – the much needed reset.

A key component of meditation is presence. The ability to be wholly and fully in the moment. With our current situation of not knowing what tomorrow brings – Presence is a necessary skill for coping. Source Dragon reminds us;

” Be diligent, calm and focused and remember to breathe deeply.  Breath is the key to being in the moment and this is where the greatest magick happens… Always remember your present moment creates your future”.

Breathe

Card of the Day April 22nd 2020 New Moon in Taurus – New Moon Ritual Video will be up April 23rd!

Happy New Moon and Happy Earth Day! I love Spring,the sun is shining again and I even saw a fat, cute little bee today! This beautiful card comes from the deck “Universal Wisdom”.  A beautiful and inspiring deck! Earth Song – is a card I chose for today. In light of it being Earth Day, I think it is the perfect time for everyone to reflect on their relationship with Gaia – or Mother Earth.  How do we treat this beautiful Earth we live on?

I think of my own relationship with her and since my spiritual awakening, I have been so aware of how she is treated and my part in that. As a Witch, one of my fundamental beliefs is to protect and advocate for Mother Earth and her inhabitants. It is my duty, as a way to serve the Divine, to contribute to the health and healing of Earth.  We are deeply connected to her and yet, do we honour her? It is the little things we can do to help Mother Earth heal.  Don’t leave garbage on the ground is a pretty intro level standard for humans but how many of us throw trash on the ground without a second thought?

“The Earth breathes and feels just like you. At times she sings for joy, at times she cries. She is a reflection of humanity She is one with you. She is a conscious entity.  Your love will help her regain her balance. Feel and accept her love for it will nourish your soul. Invoke this great healing power and your life will take on a new meaning”.

There is much healing and power to be found in nature. Consider your personal contributions to Mother Earth. We use her resources everyday day, what are we giving back? `

Planting flowers, plants or trees is a wonderful way to show your love and contribute to her health. Planting a vegetable garden helps nourish ourselves and Mother Earth, plant flowers for the bees, pick up a piece of garbage when you see it, waste less, walk or bike more, reuse! These small things can be wonderful contributions to our beautiful Mother Earth.

<3 Love

Card of the Day April 21st 2020 Moon in Aries – 1.5% Woo feel that New Moon Energy! Check back here tomorrow for a video post of my New Moon Ritual!

Witches Wisdom Oracle deck is an magickal deck that speaks right to the soul! Every card I have pulled from this deck feels like an Ancient Witch Ancestor whispering in my ear.

The Yule- REBIRTH card is no different! While the image is of a Yule scene featuring a snowy landscape the card is about Rebirth and the energy of that. Spring has taken some time to arrive here in Edmonton, Canada and with the emergence of the sun and warm weather, Rebirth is in the air. Yule is the Sabbat that celebrates the ending of a season and the return of the Sun. That is exactly the energy I am feeling.

The Sun has returned and all though we are relegated to our homes right now, it is time to go into the light! Rebirth can come in many forms from news job, to new self awareness and everything in between. Spirit brings this card to the collective today to say – Make Your Ascent!

“Your past is truly behind you. The difficulties you’ve endured have made you stronger and wiser. A new way of life beckons. Shine your light brightly. Your wishes and dreams are coming true”.

After more than a week of pulling daily cards- the theme of every card has been consistent with the energy I am feeling- We are going through a trial. All our past (present )  suffering has brought about resilience and strength. It is time to evolve. The process of Rebirth is a not easy or pain free but is anything that is worth it? Rebirth is about finding your true self, your alignment with your highest self.  Take advantage of this trial period to really dig deep into – Who you are ? What do you want? How do you get it? Why do you need it? Now is the time to claim it!

I will be posting a video later tonight on my New Moon Ritual and how you can utilize the energy of the New Moon to manifest what you desire in life.

Take this cycle of the New Moon and utilize it to manifest your own Rebirth.

Stay Strong <3

Card of the Day April 20th 2020 Waning Crescent Moon 4/% in Aries – Two days until New Moon!

Rhea the divine Greek Goddess comes from a magickal deck – Goddess Power Oracle  by Colette Baron-Reid.

Rhea, whose name literally means Flow and Ease, comes to tell us that even though things may feel stagnant at the moment, the FLOW is here. Flow state is that incredible state where life flows smoothly along and the Universe seems to have aligned everything perfectly. Motivation and ideas come easily and life feels much more relaxed. That is a wonderful state to be in! Like the flow of a river or stream there are of course smooth waters and rough waters. A Flow state allows you to navigate both with ease. Flow comes from – surrender- the ability to surrender control and trust in the Universe.

“You can enter a flow state anytime you’re willing to release your expectations. It requires trust, and the goddess Rhea ensures your boat will never capsize as you move from a slow stream to a rapid river”

Call on this divine Goddess if you are in need of releasing the blocks that stop you from flowing with the Universe. Blockages can happen when you are in fear based state and have desires or expectations that are not met.  Ask for Rhea’s guidance and protection as you release expectations and trust in your connection to the Universe.

“The Goddess Rhea reminds you that when you trust the flow state,  you’ll find an opportunity to flow around a bend you’ve not yet discovered. Her alignment task is for you to let go of the branch and allow yourself to be carried on the river of your life into parts of the river you have not traveled yet”

If you struggle with – FLOW, RELEASE, SURRENDER. I offer the perfect solution – Meditation!

Card of the Day April 19th 2020 Waning Crescent Moon 9.7% – 2 days until New Moon and the energy reset we all need!

Today’s deck is one of my absolute favourites ( do I say that about every deck?) This deck is; Angels and Ancestors by Kyle Gray and Lily Moses. The interior of the box has a great spell for setting intention when doing divination work like card readings, here is an excerpt; ” I set the intention that whatever is gained from the lessons learned from this tool will be dedicated to the growth of all beings in all places”. I have adopted a similar spell for my own divination work. Please let the lessons learned from any cards or messages be used for the growth of all.

The Peacekeeper, a timely card for going on the 5th week of quarantine! She reminds us that being right is not as important as being happy.  I have found with some self reflection that I have a strong need to control certain situations, especially at home (true Cancer!). And with the need to control comes the need to be right- all the time. ” I told you so” 4 words that bring such power- for about 15 seconds, then hours or days of guilt, regret, anxiety. Moving forward with acceptance brings true power, the ability to let go of the little things. I have been working on this myself, and I can tell  you that letting the little things go leads to more space for happiness and less stress.

Do not waste energy on feelings of resentment, release the need to hold the reins. The Ancient Ancestors that speak through this deck remind you that “there is more power than choosing to move forward in the right direction”. It feels so good to release the annoyances of life, they just take up space in our heads and hearts, leaving less room for happiness and joy. Fighting or arguing based on a need to be right adds toxic energy to your relationships and home. Accept we all have different perspectives and the only validation we need comes from within.

If you are having trouble with releasing those negative thoughts or obsessive details, try a guided meditation, it can help to redirect your thoughts.

“Choose peace and happiness over the need to be right. Rather than trying to prove a point, save your energy for what’s important”.

It is much be better to be happy than right 🙂

<3

One more time, it is much better to be happy than right.

Card of the Day April 18th 2020 Waning Crescent Moon in Taurus 13%. Only 4 more days until the New Moon! I will be posting a video on this site with my Full Moon Ritual!

This elegant, divine bad ass Queen of Swords comes from the Celtic Tarot. The art is breathtaking, the energy is intense.

The Queen of Swords radiates a halo of light.  While she is Divine, the halo for this Queen represents Strength- Light taken from Strength.  Holding her sword high, she has conquered the sea (emotion) beneath her with a fierce authority.  She is the meeting of head and heart.  When we are lost in our sea of emotions, it can be very hard to get out. The Queen of Swords shows us that anything can be conquered by the Divine Feminine. We are warriors as well as Queens, having fought thousands of emotional battles, and coming through it with a serene strength. Celebrate your resilience, for the old saying” What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”, is hard to debate. You are strong~ and Fierce. That is what makes you a Queen.

As we near the new moon phase, there is a shift within us, as there is a shift in Mother Earth.  We have and are experiencing struggles and trials. Hold strong you can stand the tide and rise higher than ever. There is always a rainbow at the end of the storm.

“To see hope even when the skies are at their darkest is a tremendous gift. She instills within us a sense of hopefulness; look how she gestures to you to come forward’

Rise Queen

Card of The Day April 17th 2020 Waning Crescent Moon 23% in Pisces

The magickal dragonfly! This enchanting card comes from the deck “Animal Whispers Oracle Empowerment Cards”.  What better way to receive divine messages than through the beloved animal kingdom!

The Dragonfly encourages us to reach for the light! “Fly higher towards the light and you will reach the stars. Spread your wings- don’t dally with uncertainty and self doubt with your wings yet unfurled… This is a time of new beginnings – great change is coming where we create our own realities”.

Self doubt, guilt, low self worth – These are all feelings I think we can all relate too. During this peculiar time where the world seems to be on pause, it can be hard to keep our spirits up. When our routines change and our productivity is effected- we can start feeling down on ourselves The Dragonfly comes to us today to remind us to strip away illusion! Don’t get “boxed in” your own head. Let the Dragonfly free you and show you to the light! You are the co creator of your reality – How powerful does that sound!  This unique period in time is allowing us to self reflect- be mindful of your thoughts and what you are saying to yourself.

The world now, more than ever, needs your light! Let it SHINE

<3

Shine On

Card of the Day April 16th 2020 Waning Moon in Aquarius, 31.5% – 6 days until New Moon!

Today’s card is from the “Dolphins and Mermaids” Oracle Deck by Doreen Virtue. I love the playful, happy energy that this deck has! Every image is a colorful view of a mystical and magickal scene!

“The Dolphins know the importance of playing, as joy creates miracles and manifestation.”

The Play Time card comes on a perfect day! Finally the Sunshine of Spring has come and the air is warming up! The snow is gone from the yard and it seems as if Mother Earth is finally awakening! I am counting the minutes until I can get into my garden!

I am sure you all have been feeling, just as I have, drained! Lost a bit of focus or a lot and looking to find our stride again? Does that sound familiar? Well then it is definitely time to have some fun! With the beautiful weather we are enjoying, get outside (in your yard) and Play! Play time is a great way to lift your spirits and enjoy time with your family or pets!

“Playing is a magickal form of meditation, as it opens your heart chakra and allows your creative spirit to tap into Divine Wisdom”

As adults, we can lose that connection to our inner child and forgot how fun it is to just be silly and playful. The careful joy of rolling down a hill or jumping in a pile of leaves or snow, is a feeling I remember well. I may not remember what day or occassion or year it was but the feeling I never have forgotten. Play time as an adult is a lot more broad of a topic but try to remember what brought you joy as a child! One aspect of my childhood I have carried into my adult life is crafting! I love a good DIY/Craft and I find it very meditative, it is also some of the best time I enjoy with my daughters.

Try using Pinterest of Youtube for great craft ideas. Life should be fun, find what makes you happy and joyful and embrace it! Do not let find the confines of Adulthood stop you from playing!

Laugh Often

Love Hard
