Daily Thursday

Today I felt drawn to pull 3 TT cards. Honestly one day I pick a different deck, today I pick 3 cards.. cant keep to my own rules :P The 8 of wands came out first, that strong flying energy (like the pulsating circling booming energy of the World in the New Moon spread). I love that, and the flyer is on them like a broomstick hehe. Witchy wooo

The Elven Knight is another card like the 8 of wands, moving through the forest, of moving, of stuff just keeping you moving onwards.Yet it is taking its time.. theres no sense of rush here whilst the 8 of wands is a card of fast energy. so perhaps I am moving fast and the Elven Knight reflects a need to take a slower road, enjoy the ride. Its about purpose, and cermony.

The King of Pentacles and Queen of Wands were really pulled as 2 clarifyers. 2 energies that seem to be going in opposite directions, yet they are from the same root, the same core... perhaps they are looking in the wrong direction, not realising that all they need to do is TURN AROUND.
Maybe thats the Elven Knight, reflecting that it'll take time, wait till the magic moment before these 2 characters do turn around.. like a movie kiss right when all is thought to be lost. A challange, a chance, a happy ever after :D

Magician x 2

Ok, what do you get if you get two magicians for a daily card?!

LOL

I pulled the Magician from the TT this morning, and as I have been playing with the HoF I pulled one from there and got the Magician also! Well blow me down!

The TT Magician is about energy, about getting the flow and expanding with it. I woke up with awful knee pain (again) this morning and when I saw the Magicians I thought OOOOO Reiki, energy, magick! Use that on my knee. From the darkdepths of somewhere in my psyche I remembered what I used to know when I did my Celtic Reiki attunements and even drew a symbol or two from that. And ya know.. its been fairly good!

Went shopping for all this art stuff that is in my head and kept spotting people I know, people shouting at me from across the street saying HIYA and it felt good. Felt nice to be noticed and people wanting to chat with me. Tis nice after kinda not really being with it. Again, the energy is flowing!

Now I just need to keep it flowing and not get daunted or get that 'can't do' attitude back. I just tried to play with the stuff I bought thats all arty and theres the 'ohhhh hmmm' and I have to remember that, Im learning to play with it. Its going to take a while.. no stress!

lol Keep telling myself that LOL.

Sundays draw..

I decided today to just pull a single card. I think I get caught up in the complexity of a CI and lots of cards that I need to go back to just one energy at a time.

Today its the Knight of Wands MI so hes kneeling, looking forward.

A few days now Ive had The Challenge with the Heart of Faery and today I have the Knight of Wands, daring me, asking me to just please do something wild. I keep having this urge to paint, draw, sketch etc and I just think 'your awful at drawing and all that stuff so why bother'. Yet the last 2 times I've sketched or drawn (one I was told to by an angel, another time I was asked to draw an angel I knew by a 6 year old) I have felt really satisfied and like i've achieved something, a barrier gone through.

I have had thoughts about buying some pastels or something to put colour into my sketches or something... but.. well, I always feel there is a but and the Challenge and the Knight of Wands is saying, theres no excuses just bloody do it.

Its just.. im not an artistic person. Im not going to create something beautiful, amazing, spellbinding that makes the world go WOW. It'll be crap..

ARGH. So maybe the challenge isnt just the doing, its removing that mental block of 'cant do' to 'can do'. Like I dont want to accept the challenge the 'i'll be crap' is a whitewash of an excuse to just not even try, thinking i'll save myself the disappointment.. yet Ive been having this urge for days now and I keep pushing it to one side (under the carpet) yet its still here, still in my head, pondering around.

ARGH......
not easy!

The Easter Bunny gave me Faeries.

Ok, business first, todays draw

What I know about today - Tower
What I dont know about today - 5 of Cups
Advice - 2 of pents

Ok.. Well I think the Tower is referring to a situation that happened yesterday which folks are still reeling from. And so theres that broken, lost, unknown feeling around the place at the moment.
The 5 of cups, could be about trying to help people find something positive and focus on something healing and useful rather than the cups that have fallen on the floor. Its easy to feel like its the end of the world.

And the 2 of pents, the shape of the arms to me is very womb/chalice like, how to balance, and how sometimes to put your faith in the unknown because thats where fab things grow.



AND....
The easter bunny (ok, maybe a neighbour who had my parcel delivered to them by accident... in a bunny costume lol) put a parcel on my door step that is the Heart of Faerie! Today I pulled The Returning. What a fab card! I dont know what she means but its gorgeous, have a lookie..


And I love the back of the book, so I had to scan it in just so I can look at all the shapes and symbols in it..
