False Indigo - Immersion and Intuition
The blue dye from this lovely plant was used as a substitute for Indigo in dye making while the Latin, baptisia, means immersion - that relates to the dying process but it has come to have an association with spiritual baptism as well.   The deep indigo blue flowers also correspond to the  third eye chakra that opens up our perception and insight.
.
So let today be one of immersing ourselves at a deeper level than our five senses give us. Trust your intuition, listen to your dreams, go within and find your inner-knowing - this will guide you forward on your Great Path and a fully-realized life.

This is a totally accurate representation of my brain right now LOL

Five of Wands
Crowley quite liked this card a lot - it is one of only three cards where he left his mark on it. (the seven pointed star/Mark of the Beast on the orb at center)  This card goes all over the map, Leo is happy in Geburah (both are fiery) and Geburah gives us motion and strength/activity. But Saturn gives us a resistance that can feel heavy.  Just looking at it you can see the light wands with a fiery energy, but a heavy wand blocks it from going anywhere.

There is energy but also frustration as if we just can't seem to get moving with any progress.  This happens from time to time but if we realize that and remind ourselves that it will pass - we can try to find the patience and the humor to wait it out.  There are other things we can do while we let the frustrating bits simmer until they are ready to go!

I needed just a touch of the Halloween season to keep me going during this seemingly endless heat parade of summer ;)  So - the Spirit Halloween Tarot makes a brief appearance! 
.
Strength - Confident, courageous and caring. Using a deep inner strength and having control of yourself. Self empowered, solid and reliable.
Manticore - It is often said that the beast had the head of a man, the body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion. The beast was supposedly known to have incredible speed that not even the fastest man could compete with. It was claimed that the manticore lured people in by laying in tall grass or reeds. This would hide its magnificent body and show only the head of what appeared to be a bearded man. Many victims were said to have ventured too close to the beast, only to be devoured by its three rows of sharp teeth. He was a sly one and didn't always need to use his brute strength to get what he wanted.
.
So today is a day of using your inner strength and empowering yourself. Take your time and assess any situations before committing to action. And if anything bugs you too much you could maybe channel your inner manticore and take a swipe at it!

Hummingbird
Two Hummingbirds graced my feeder quite loudly today - wanting to feed and squeak at each other.  They are a perfect reminder to drink of the nectar and joy of life.   Hummingbird is one of the Four Fundamental Forces that make up life - they travel unimaginable distances with no food along the way until they reach the end of their journey. They trust that all will be well and keep their hearts open to the Call of Spirit. 
.
Hummingbird wants us to remember to only drink from the nectar of life and to share that love and joy with others. They also tell us that when Spirit  calls, we must answer - ever notice when you know you should be doing this but instead are doing that, everything goes pear shaped?  Then, once you get back on your path, all things flow smoothly?    That is how you know you are going in the right direction. Follow it and let Sweet Hummingbird guide the way!

jaSUN Funderberker
Jason is another one of the Frog's many, many, names in Over the Garden Wall. Greg can't seem to make up his mind on what to name it and at the end of the show decides to name him after another character in the show.  
..
.
This Tarot Sun is full of life and light and vitality and optimism.  Frog is riding Fred the Horse in a sun filled garden radiating warmth and life. A time to be optimistic as we have overcome some dark times and are now ready to enjoy the light. Your path forward has never been brighter!

The Enoch/Tower
I LOVE Enoch!  We meet him in "Hard Times at the Huskin' Bee" and he is the leader of his pumpkin people as well as the leader of The Pottsfield Chamber of Commerce.  At first, he is simply terrifying to Greg and Wirt, but then as we go on, we realize he is actually kinda funny and laid back - even if you did murder one of his pumpkins by accidently stepping on it.  Thing is, while Enoch LOOKS like a scary pumpkin thing, he is also something else underneath it. (no spoilers go watch the show - Over the Garden Wall)

To find what may be hiding inside us we often need a big cataclysmic explosion of energy to blast away the stagnation keeping us in one place. What we think is a secure palace is actually a prison and while leaving something that feels safe can be difficult, it is necessary for our growth and forward momentum on our great work in life.

The Greg/Fool
Greg (from Over the Garden Wall) is one of the best Fool's I have ever seen.  If The Fool energy could be summed up in a Greg quote, it would be: "You could do anything if you set your mind to it!"  Greg is fascinated by EVERYTHING.  Nothing deters him from being happy and trying to spread happiness along the way.   He has a habit of taking off on his own and getting into some fun situations but no matter what, he is endlessly happy about it.
.
Greg is always positive - even in the face of unknowable or impossible looking odds.  But he is young and still learning his way.  He never worries about expressing himself, he just does it - because he believes he can do anything he sets his mind too. The Fool and Greg want us to be open and ready for anything. Life is full of adventures and the best thing we can do is stay positive and ready to learn from what comes to us. That's a rock fact ;)

The Princess jumped out of the deck after I drew the Ace, so she gets to play too.
.
Ace of Swords
Crowley's Ace has "Thelema" written on it - Greek for Will. And that is what the swords take to use. This Ace is the seed of our intellectual power - the beginnings of ideas, or just a reminder that we need to use our intellects here and while it is always good to stay balanced with our emotions, right now we need to use rational thought more. Invoke this Ace to help you see clearly!  Add a side of Princess of Wands and you have some seriously crazy energy to power through the day. She is a liberator who helps us bust through any internal blocks and fears and loves a good adventure.
