Creativity

from the Osho Zen Tarot

Now is not the time to hide behind
outdated ways and predictable means

Creativity of life is bursting forth
begging to ridden hard and wild
the elements of self
the flesh of knowing

the cycles of innate knowing
are your guides

When days such as these loom challenging
remember the flow of nature
always moves towards growth.

Live as the artist of destiny
the sovereign of worlds intimate and public
and birth the new

*******

Notice where creativity is calling you. Fallow the threads of your imagination and your desires to make or experience something new.

This card relates to the Empress in the traditional Tarot, a card of sensuality, creativity, abundance and nurturing. Look to see where you are feeling well cared for or not, where you have plenty or not, where your senses are enlivened or not.

If times are feeling hard, dismal, or challenging, seek out ways to spark your creative nature. Something new is wanting to be nurtured.

*******

If you want some personal oracle wisdom, it may be time for some Oracle Alchemy.

Bramble- Wisdom

from the Plant Ally oracle by Lisa McLaughlin

In the midst of all that pricks and grabs
keeping you snarled and seemingly trapped
is treasure

Wisdom is born not just from seeking
but is grown from how you risk what is worth suffering for
walking away from what is not
and honing your judgement of each

Take your hurts and disappointments
distill the treads of gold they hold
this is the stuff of your unfolding nature

*****

If life is feeling harsh and maybe scary right now, lean into the wisdom life has brought you to know how to move forward. Know that deeper wisdom is growing as you navigate any challenge or hurt you encounter right now.

Where are you wise?
Where is wisdom growing in you?
How do you tap into wisdom?
Who are those you seek wisdom from? What of them lives already in you?
How are you hurts building wisdom that you will carry forward?

*****

If some personal oracle wisdom would serve you, consider Oracle Alchemy. Oracular wisdom, poetically expressed, from me to you.

intuitive love notes

I have created a new reading. I hope you like it.
I am calling it Intuitive Love notes, because, well, who doesn’t love a love note.

And it’s February.

And the world is crazy and don’t we all need a bit of soul magic and connection to our deeper selves? I know I do.

Think of it as one part insight, one part message from your soul.
The result?
Poetic words guiding you home to yourself.

One of my most reliable tools for times when I am off center, or need a nudge in a better direction is Tarot.

Not because it will tell my future, but because it will point me to what needs my attention so I create the future I want.

The imagery and archetypes of the Tarot hold a potent mirror and offer wise guidance evoking our deepest knowing and insight.

An Intuitive Love Note is a potent, one card missive of love and support for your precious self given in my style of poetically expressed insight. Each reading will also include a prompt or two to take things deeper along with the traditional meaning of the card; all delivered in a beautiful PDF document to your email. If you heave experienced my Oracle Alchemy readings, this is similar in format, but more compact.

The deck I am using for this reading? The delicious Vintage Erotic Tarot. A sensuous, sepia colored, powerfully feminine take on the traditional Tarot just perfect for a love note! (Yes, there is nudity. I find it a refreshingly natural depiction of woman’s bodies in celebration of feminine energy and embodiment. And, it may not be your kind of subject matter, in which case this reading would not be your thing.) But If you are feeling separated from yourself or wanting some intuitive self love, this may be just for you.

Here is what I know. Unless we are in touch with the beauty we are, unless we know where to look for it when we feel ourselves waning, unless we take even just a wee bit of time to connect into what nourishes us, we wither. We doubt. We open the gates of despair and hopelessness.

A Love Note is a soft whisper guiding you home to yourself. Available until the end of February.

All the details are here.

 

found signs

found signs

I am gradually putting out my seasonal things. I don’t do it all at once but over time. Building, adding, layering bits and pieces I have gathered. Yes, I am one of those collector, gatherer types. I am always picking up sticks, rocks, piece of moss, leaves, little bits of nature. My windowsills are lined with beach rocks and my altars always have some bit of collected nature.

I found this bit of fallen tree branch a couple of years ago, struck by the skull so clearly marked. To me that it. Since I was out searching for things to add to an altar for an October dark moon ritual, this seemed like a divine sign!  A found skull on a piece of dead branch just a few days before Halloween, the time of the thinning veil and spirits. It spoke to me of magic, transition, endings and meaning after death. I felt tingles and a giddiness of discovery and understanding!

On the way home I passed our neighbors and when they asked what I was carrying I showed them my treasure. He didn’t see the face in the wood but she did. For them it was merely an interesting oddity. And that is the way of signs. They speak to us in different ways, as individual as our fingerprints. This piece of wood is placed on many of my altars as a reminder of the power of death, the gifts of nature, the way our world is always speaking to us. We just need to slow down enough to learn our language together.

This is the season of reading signs and finding meaning in the ordinary and it is one of the ways we will be celebrating in Signs, Stories, and Shadows.

(Monday is Moon Day. What are the tides of your week calling you to?)

An Invitation: honor the softness of your Body

There is a tenderness in your being
a yielding

A place so open a mere whisper
evokes awakening

The softness of your Body

The gateway to all you will become
the pathway back to all you where
the opening to everything you are

Honor the warm flesh of you
this meeting place of the divine and human

invitation_look_in_the_mirror

(Monday is Moon Day. What are the tides of your week calling you to?)

An Invitation: look in the mirror and be Seduced by your own eyes

How long do you hold your own gaze?
If you are not rapturously in love with yourself,
not long enough

You want magic in your life?
Fall in love with with the eyes that stare back at you
from the mirror

Those eyes,
those amazing eyes
hold the secret of You

Get lost in the labyrinth of
beauty held in the depth of your gaze
it will lead you to the center of your Soul where all secrets are revealed

Allow complete Seduction
of the most powerful being in all of time
by the gaze of love coming back from your own reflected self

This is for the brave
the courageous
the one who wants only to know the Truth of her Nature.

invitation_trust_power

(Monday is Moon Day. What are the tides of your week calling you to?)

An Invitation: trust your Power

You are stronger than you know
more powerful than you realize
it sounds cliche
and trite

Something to say when
someone doesn’t want to be bothered
with your vulnerability, doubt or struggle

The irony is that your Power
is a delicate creature
taken to hide in the shadows
rather than roar and take space

Or wears the mask of forceful pushing
rough talk
false confidence
in order to be seen

But your Power
although it may be shy sometimes
may be jagged and brass others

Your Power
is You
in this moment, how ever you are
bold, angry, mean, justified, sullen, happy, ecstatic

Your Power is your life force
that always running current of energy
the divine spark incarnate

Trust this
follow the tread it asks you to follow
this is trustworthy
Always
