Daily Mindfulness - Crazy Family Gathering Edition
1 Card The Star - It's crazy and loud and there are so many people around you that your head is going to spin soon. It's OK. Holidays can be nuts. So, if you are dealing with a lot of family and friends all up in your space - find a quiet place and just breathe. The Star is giving you a quiet space to just be still. Relax and find your center. Prepare for the chaos that comes after everyone wakes up from their post turkey naps and want leftovers and to fight over which football game to watch. Tooth Fairy - when you lose a tooth - she brings you a nice shiny coin. When you lose your shit from the chaos, she brings you peace - or an Amazon gift card. It's all good. So today, find a nice spot to get away from it all. Order some incense and a good book online. Rest in the space of calm tranquility and put some headphones on while everyone else is fighting over the remote control.

Daily Mindfulness
3 Card Draw The Hierophant - look for someone(s) who can help mentor you in areas you have been interested in learning. Or perhaps someone(s) may be in need of what you have to teach. Sharing and learning and teaching can help us all move forward on our paths. Just be certain what you are learning is in line with who you are! Voodoo Warlock - there is a LOT of information on this one and I'll let you Google if you wish. But in summary, someone who can teach you or show you or inform you about voodoo. Knight of Pentacles - Practical and sure, sticking to the plans even if it takes FOREVER to get there. It is great to be dedicated but don't lose your perspective. If the Knight energy isn't working find a nice balance of movement and plodding along. Warrior - brave soldier or fighter King of Cups - Emotional leader, serene and sensual - very wise and understanding. Always gentle and tolerant - he may be showing you how to respond to a situation as he would. Orc -are a brutish, aggressive, repulsive and generally malevolent species - think Lord of the Rings and Saruman - nasty things. So today, it seems like there may be things to learn or perhaps to teach. It may feel like this time is going slowly or you may feel stuck. Be gentle with yourself at this time, learn what you need to learn and find a nice balance of energy to keep things going. Don't let things plod along until you are orc-ish! Daily Mindfulness
3 Card Draw The Hanged Man - Things are up in the air right now and we may need to surrender our egos for a bit and let the need to control everything go. Sometimes we need to look at different points of view to see the bigger picture and gain understanding. It's not easy but necessary. Use this time to reflect and learn. Imp - A small lesser demon and not necessarily always evil. Imps were mischievous rather than evil and in some regions they were attendants of the gods. They were often portrayed as lonely and in search of human attention. They often used jokes as a means of attracting friendship, which often backfired when people became annoyed of the imp's endeavors, usually driving it away. Six of Swords - Time to move forward - you now have some help to get your moving from the situation you find yourself in. Take the hand offered and move into a more positive energy. (physical or mental) - where are you going and what do you need to leave behind? Harpy - wind spirits - depicted as birds with the heads of maidens and long claws on their hands, they steal food from their victims while they are eating and carry evildoers to the Erinyes. Two of Swords - have you been blocking yourself off? It isn't healthy to deny your feelings or refuse to look at the things troubling you. It is better to stay open to find the peace we need. Ghost - soul of a dead person, disembodied spirit. So today, it may feel like everything is tumbling around and we just want to close ourselves off and hide under the covers. But we can't. It is better to take the help being offered to you and move forward to a more positive place - don't ghost yourself! Stay open and find a better perspective to look at the world around you! Daily Mindfulness
3 Card Draw Six of Wands - You have success! Whatever you have been working on has gone really well! Whatever you have started is going to be awesome and many people are going to be happy! Golem - is an animated being that is magically created entirely from inanimate matter - usually clay or mud. Two of Pentacles - Balance is key! You totally have the perfect balance to handle the tasks you have set yourself. Elf - So many Elf's to choose from - Buddy or Legolas? Legolas! He was a bad ass elf who could do ALL THE THINGS - and really goes quite well with the 2 of Pentacles! Ten of Cups - Happiness and love. A time of great contentment and comfort. You have gone through a lot to get here so enjoy it and share the wealth! Leviathan - Later Jewish sources describe Leviathan as a dragon type thing who lives over the Sources of the Deep and who, along with the male Behemoth, will be served up to the righteous at the end of time. Um, sounds... tasty? So today, you really have some great energy to work with. The things you have been doing are going well and you have the love and support of the people around you. Stay balanced and set your intentions - share the love you have received and maybe throw a little party - but I don't think Costco has Leviathan party platters... but they might - they have everything! Daily Mindfulness
2 Card Draw Five of Swords - There is a lot going on and we need to assess whether our energy is going to something useful or not. Sometimes we need to choose our battles wisely, internally and externally so instead of spinning your wheels find a new and creative way to face what it is you need to do. Angel -a person having qualities generally attributed to an angel, as beauty, purity, or kindliness. or whose actions and thoughts are consistently virtuous or an attendant or guardian spirit. Queen of Cups - a nurturing female energy - caring, loving and kind. Her special energy has meaning for you at this time so be inspired by this Queen in whatever form she appears in your life. Gorgon - is a mythical creature portrayed in ancient Greek literature and the term commonly refers to any of three sisters who had hair made of living, venomous snakes and a horrifying visage that turned people to stone if they looked at her. So today, if you feel like your wheels are spinning but you aren't getting anywhere, take some time to assess where you really want to use your energy. Look to your inner angel and the loving guidance of the Queen of Cups to show you where your time and energy is better spent. You know, on happiness and love and not so much snakey stone stuff Daily Mindfulness
2 Card Draw Ace of Wands - Fire action! Pure fiery energy and excitement. Passionate creativity at work here. Something new like an idea you have had is now ready to burst out like fireworks! Now it's time to take action! Salamander - Legends say the salamander may be related to fire. This connection originates from the tendency of many salamanders to dwell inside rotting logs. When placed on fire, the salamander would run from the log, making it look like the salamanders were created from flames. Four of Cups - Emotionally looking inwards or perhaps a bit too much self-absorption going on. Things are being offered to you but if you aren't paying attention, they will disappear in a cloud of smoke. Notice where your attention is going and try to focus on what is being offered, right in front of you. Ghoul - Some say a ghoul is a desert-dwelling demon that can assume the guise of an animal. It lures unwary people into the desert wastes or abandoned places to slay and devour them. So today, harness that passionate and fiery energy to start that project you've been thinking about. Don't ignore what might be right in front of you - or get lured into the abandoned places of self-absorption. The Universe is saying DO THE THING and is offering you all that you need to get it going. Daily Mindfulness
2 Card Draw The Magician - This card reminds us that we have all we need to create and manifest all we want. Thoughts create reality and you are a creator. When we concentrate with intention - we can make anything we want - and that - is magic. Warlock - used to be a person, male, who practiced evil magic. But now it tends to mean a male witch. Seven of Pentacles - making the time and effort to create something. You are now planting the seeds of your project and you will need to tend to it well. Once you set your intention and give it your energy, you can sit back and watch it grow. Gremlins - A gremlin is a folkloric mischievous creature that causes malfunctions in planes or other machinery. Also - do not expose the mogwai to bright lights or sunlight which will kill it, do not let it get wet, and never feed it after midnight. So today, remember you have everything you need to create anything you want. Once you take the time and energy to start a project and get it going, you can then watch the magic happen. Just keep an eye on it because you don't want things to get out of hand! Daily Mindfulness
2 Card Draw The Emperor - Power, control and authority. Someone to take charge and take care of business. Also excellent self-control. Remember you control your destiny - you hold the power. Also, don't be stubborn - that Aries self loves to be stubborn. Things will change - don't cling to things that want to move into other things. Sphinx - a mythical creature with a human head and the body of a lion. Strong and resilient it has lasted centuries in the desert. It also asked crazy riddles... "Which creature has one voice and yet becomes four-footed and two-footed and three-footed?" She strangled and devoured anyone who could not answer. She gave Harry Potter a good riddle and he eventually got it! Ten of Wands - Burn out time. You are doing too much and you don't really need to be. How much responsibility are you shouldering right now when you should be saying, "no, thanks I need some me time?" Think of ways to ease that burden or at least carry it differently so that you aren't tripping and falling over things. Ask for help if you need to and make the choice to free up some energy for yourself. Dragon - Dragons are awesome and there are many stories about them but I love the Chinese dragons best. Starting during the Han dynasty and continuing until the Qing dynasty, the Chinese Emperor became closely identified with dragons and emperors themselves claimed to be the incarnation of a divine dragon. - Which goes really well with our Emperor card, does it not? So today, you've got the power going on - you are strong and now what it takes to get things done and done well. But don't get so caught up in that DO ALL THE THINGS mode that you burn out and can't get back up again. Delegate things to others who can help you and save some of that dragon energy for yourself. Daily Mindfulness
2 card draw The Fool - Being open and spontaneous while following your desires freely. You have that freedom and limitlessness and the absolute faith in the kindness of the divine. Trust that things will all work out the way they are supposed to and have fun! Fool aka Court Jester - was historically an entertainer during the medieval era who was a member of the household of a nobleman and employed to entertain him and his guests. They were very entertaining and could pretty much say things that no one else dared to and had the freedom to get away with it. Ace of Pentacles - A great start for new opportunities and manifesting the things you want. There is potential for financial gain here as well as stability and security. What do you need to manifest to bring more security into your life? Mandragora - aka mandrake, a member of the nightshade plant family, mandrake contains hallucinogenic and narcotic alkaloids. If you are not a muggle, then you probably also want to have earmuffs on before you re-pot one, they scream like the dickens and tend to be very lethal. If ingested the alkaloids in the root could induce excitation and hallucinations, as well as sleepiness—and sometimes, comas or death. Add 10 points to Gryffindor if you read that in Hermione's voice! So today, many opportunities to start a new endeavor - trust that the universe has your back and make your path forward! Be mindful of not going too too crazy though, a little goes a long way and you really don't want to you know, keel over from too much of the good stuff. Daily Mindfulness
2 Card Draw Ten of Pentacles - Stability, long lasting life for projects and relationships. Connection to family and ancestors. The connection of spiritual to material. What are you committed to and how can you feed that commitment? Minotaur - In Greek mythology the minotaur had the body of a man and the head of a bull. As with a lot of Greek mythology there was some crazy sh*t going on with this story and a lot of crazy family stuff. People mated with animals, people died, people got cursed and then died. Fascinating reading though ;) Seven of Cups - Decisions decisions. What to choose? Sometimes we have limited choices and sometimes we have too many. We need to narrow down the correct choices by choosing with the heart not the mind. Cups are emotion based! Think of all the opportunities and then use your intuition to narrow them down. Trust yourself! Nessie - is a creature said to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. There have been many sightings and photos of this elusive creature but no solid proof. Some of the hoaxes are fun to look at though. So today, what are you committed to creating? Think of all the choices you have and then trust yourself to choose the best options for your legacy. Don't get lost in crazy family ideals or elusive goals - trust your intuition and follow your heart. |
