Game of Thrones Tarot/Hedgewitch Botanical Oracle Seven of Swords Love this scene in the show, where Samwell takes Heartsbane from his Father - who once said Sam would never have it. This card tends to show up when there is an atmosphere of mistrust and a need to keep an eye out for things going on around you. It can also reflect a preference to doing things alone - or behind the scenes. Just make sure what you are doing is the right and honorable thing. Marshmallow/Adversity This is such a strong and hearty plant that it can survive when there is scarcity in other plants or crops are destroyed. In fact it has saved lives when it was the only food source available. Often used in creating sweet confections, it is also a reminder that sweetness can come from the most dire of circumstances. One step at a time will give you the strength to carry on. So today might be a good day to keep your wits about you and make sure nothing is going pear shaped in your world. You might feel like you need to take care of things all on your own because you don't trust anyone else to do it correctly and that's totally fine - as long as you are doing things for the best of everyone involved. Stay sweet and go one step at a time.

Game of Thrones Tarot/Hedgewitch Botanical Oracle Oohh I love this card - and it is my "soul purpose," card so I deeply connect to it. The Magician Oh I LOVE this Magician. Littlefinger, master at manipulation - he pretends to have no real power to get people to trust him, but this man is one of the most dangerous in Westeros. He is driven to succeed and tends to leave a lot of people suffering behind him if they are no longer of use to him. He also holds both the upright and reverse meanings of the tarot's Magician. On the red wall behind him among the symbols of the four suits, is Catspaw, a dagger of Valyrian steel. At number 1, this Magician stands for the individual and the "I,' Ego. This is a time where actions and ideas abound. You have everything you need to start successful ventures, use this expansive and inventive energy to create what you desire. This is also a time of spiritual discovery of your higher self - the search for your true purpose here in life. Elder/Ritual The oracle property, "ritual," is inspired by the many ancient traditions and rituals surround the elder tree. Rituals are an important part of community building and help structure daily life. They can give you a time to check in with yourself, center and re-balance with the Universe. By using rituals, you can create a space just for you - ease your tension and to" just be" for the moment. So today life is giving you the energy and the push to create anything you want - you hold an enormous potential inside and with this boost of energy you can succeed at anything. If things start to feel overwhelming try to find a quiet spot to center yourself and touch bases with your higher self, take a deep breath and then come back to the vibrant world around you, ready to start again!

Game of Thrones Tarot/Hedgewitch Botanical Oracle First let's look at that lovely fiery orange color again - I love how it really exemplifies the Wands/Spears suit. Warmth, enthusiasm, creativity, joy and general wellness. Orange also helps aid decision making and enhances happiness and confidence. Ace of Spears (wands) This is the spear of Oberyn Martell, the Red Viper of Dorne, which is on the hilt. This card is all about beginnings and desire, creative ideas - a fiery energy of inspiration - you have a clear purpose and the drive to succeed and achieve your goals. The red snake indicates happiness and passion but also a touch of danger - keep your energy in check and make sure it is aimed where you want it to be going. Morel/Regenerate Morels have the ability to grow back in areas that have been damaged by fire - in fact they often grow back stronger in quantity than before. This gives the morel it's oracle property of Regenerate. Looking at rotting stumps and scorched deadfalls are some of the best places to find morels and remind us that devastation is often the gateway to regeneration. So today, let the fiery energy of the Ace of Spears help you regenerate your own creativity and inspire you to achieve your goals. This may also include you letting go of something in order for a new idea or path to flourish. Like the Death card in Tarot, letting go can create new opportunities and with this Spear energy helping, you can regenerate and do anything you set your mind to doing. Daily Mindfulness
Game of Thrones Tarot/Hedgewitch Botanical Oracle I wanted to switch the cards up a bit and wanted to see how the botanical oracle played with my GOT deck and YES it plays well! King of Spears (Wands) It's Eddard! This King is sitting under a weirwood tree after killing a deserter from the Wall. This card is all about honor. The King of Spears is charismatic and passionate and no matter what he is doing, he upholds a high standard. He knows how to have fun and is creative and bold. A natural leader! Burdock/Tenacity The oracle property of Tenacity is given to the Burdock plant because of its ability to cling to pretty much anything. Those Burrs! It also thrives in the most difficult terrain. It reminds us that there are times we need to keep holding on and being persistent - having the determination and perseverance to keep going. Take things one step and a time and eventually you will prosper! So today channel your inner Eddard Stark and use that creative and charismatic energy to hang on and get things done. It may not always feel easy but stick to that high King standard but hold on tight. Little steps will get you there and you will be so glad you persevered! Daily Mindfulness
Zombie/Game of Thrones Tarot First can we look at that intense orange color in both the cards?! Warmth, enthusiasm, creativity, joy and general wellness. Orange also helps aid decision making and enhances happiness and confidence. Knight of Swords Nothing is going to stop this Knight from getting where he needs to go. He rushes in and really doesn't worry about the details - nothing is going to stop him. On the plus side, he is in control of his logic and reason but on the downside he can be a bit tactless and often rude as feelings just don't factor into this Knights game plans. King of Coins I LOVE this King of Coins - Lord Peter Baelish, Master of Coin! This King is all about money and stuff. He is a generous King and will offer material comfort to those in need. He offers security and support and has a stable temperament. Any goals he sets will be seen too until he is successful. So today, it might be time to make a game plan for ideas and goals you want to accomplish. Using that Knight energy you have the logic and clarity you need to push forward. That brashness tempered with the King of Coins, gives you the ability to complete your tasks with competence and stability. Daily Mindfulness
Zombie/Game of Thrones Tarot 10 of Wands You seem to have your hands very full at the moment - juggling too many bits of things - responsibilities can be a heavy burden at times and you might struggle with trying to stay on top of it all. The 10's are the end of the cycle so you are almost done! And remember, it isn't how many things you have to deal with, it's how you carry them. 5 of Spears (Wands) 5 Unsullied spar in the arena. Life is full of tests and competitions and you will need to be persistent to get through them. Strong personalities can try to overwhelm you but stay strong and know that these are minor skirmishes, irritating but nothing major. Cooperation can also help you get through these issues - better to work together than pulling apart at the seams. So today may feel like a handful. Many burdens and too many people trying to get in the way. Try finding the balance with cooperation or find a better way to carry these struggles. Remember you don't have to handle everything yourself if others can work with you to lighten the load! Daily Mindfulness
Zombie/Game of Thrones Tarot The Moon This is the time to pay attention to your dreams and subconscious - when you relax your rational thinking, thoughts can arise from deep within you, like a roadmap to where you need to be. Like the bird with the key, let your thoughts fly freely and trust your instinct and your intuition. King of Swords The Night King stands beyond the Wall waiting - this King is very intelligent and a skilled decision maker. He thinks through all the strategies and finds the perfect one for his needs. Analytical and articulate, this is a time of extreme clarity. So today, while it may seem these two cards are opposites they actually play well together. Trust your intuition, look for signs and symbols in your dreams - then take what you have seen and analyze them. You can still trust your instincts and follow your unconscious while using the clarity of the King to organize it all into something you can use to map your progress in life. Daily Mindfulness
Zombie/Game of Thrones Tarot Justice An eye for an eye... er, or maybe a heart for a brain? This card calls to fairness and responsibility. What is right isn't always easy or fun, but neither is karma when it comes calling. We need to understand cause and effect and how it what we cause comes back as an effect that may come as a unpleasant surprise. Keep the harmony and stay balanced. 6 of Spears (wands) Daenerys rides with her recently freed Unsullied. This is a time of success and being acknowledged for all you have done. You have worked hard and this is the time for rewards. Be confident in yourself. You have earned this time of acclaim but don't let it go to your head. Be sure to show your thanks to the people who have helped you get where you are and remember you have a ways to go yet so stay focused! So today might be a good time to show your thanks to the people in your life who have helped you succeed and to look at where you are and where you are going. Stay balanced and responsible for your actions - make sure what you are doing is fair to all involved. Daily Mindfulness
Zombie/Game of Thrones Tarot 9 of Wands What I call the "side-eye," card in the RWS deck - this is all about persistence and willpower. Getting things done even when you are weary. There is a lot of creative energy here, even if it comes from the bits of zombies - Just keep an eye out for anything that may try to bite you back. The Empress A perfect Empress, Daenerys, "mhysa," and the mother of dragons, embodies this archetype. She not only rules with a warrior spirit but vows to "break the wheel," and create a new social order. She symbolizes creativity and fertility, care and abundance with loving attention and she asks you to embrace this love of life. So today, you may have a lot to get done and a lot of people clamoring for your attention but don't get overwhelmed. Channel your inner Daenerys and use that strong but loving energy to get it all done. Afterwards, you can have a nice frolic with your dragons! Daily Mindfulness
Zombie Tarot/Game of Thrones Tarot Temperance Now is the time for balance - from our card here, it looks like mixing a bit of zombie blood with a human could either end really badly or it could create a miracle cure! The key is balance. You don't want to hug the zombie and invite him to dinner but at the same time, you could maybe chat from a distance. Page of Swords This page is one of the Sons of the Harpy, an underground group of insurgents opposing the rule of Daenerys. Vigilance is key right now. Pay attention to the details around you and listen carefully to yourself and the people you trust. Analyze with logic and reason to solve any issues that come up. So today, try to find that perfect balance in your life. Difficult situations can come up but if we analyze all the facts with solid reason, we can find the perfect middle ground to stand on. Enjoy the little puzzles life can give - it can keep us sharp and always learning new things! |
