RWS & Hedgewitch Botanical Queen of Pentacles Earth Mother and Goddess of the Gardens. The Queen's energy is practical, loving and nurturing. She has tremendous focus and uses it to see where she is needed and how she can help. She inspires trust and security, so focus on this loving energy right now. Hawthorn/ Sacred The oracle property, "sacred," is because of the Hawthorns place in magical traditions and legends. It reminds us to look at how we see the word sacred. What do we value as sacred in our lives? Values, personal rituals and objects as well as the spaces we inhabit can all have a sacred meaning to us. Having a special space is so important to our well being and self-care. A place that lets us connect with our deeper self and the universe around us. So today, channel your loving and nurturing energy today. For yourself and for others if they are in need of that gentle care. It would be a great day to create a special space where you can sit quietly and center yourself. A place where you can create the energy you need to continue caring for yourself and others when needed!

RWS and Hedgewitch Botanical The Star This is a good time to concentrate on yourself especially if you have had some chaos in your life lately. Stars give us inspiration and hope - renewal. Let the waters she pours soothe your nerves and emotions. There is a contentment in inner peace so rest in this calm and quiet place for a bit. The Stars light will guide you on when you are ready to leave. Garlic/Service All parts of the garlic plant are edible and very useful, giving it the oracle property of Service. Garlic isn't a showy plant and it is found in many places - its value is found in its usefulness. Doing small things is often a huge service to others. A kind word or even a smile is all it takes to start a friendship or give someone the support they need. So today, treat yourself to some peace and quiet. Keep your eyes open for creative opportunities to do as well. Look for little things that make you happy but that might also bring someone else much needed peace as well. Daily Mindfulness
7 of Pentacles You have been working hard and it is now starting to show. Now might be a good time to take a break and look at all the things you have accomplished! Assess where you are and how you like the things you are doing - enjoy some quiet time to ponder what comes next. Huckleberry/Resourcefulness The oracle property refers to its ability to grow in some difficult terrain like loose gravel, cliff sides and areas devastated by forest fires. Resourcefulness can mean finding a way to turn adversity into a opportunity and to take what you have and make it work for you. Success isn't always shiny and new... sometimes it takes patience, taking your time and waiting for the opportunities to show themselves. So today, all your hard work is starting to pay off and you can see your accomplishments lining up - take some time to assess where you are and use your resourcefulness to plot out the next step!

RWS & Hedgewitch Botanical I am popping this up early for the weekend as I am getting a new phone (finally) and am not sure how long it will take to do all the things... But! Hippo icons will be happening soon! 10 of Pentacles The happy end to another cycle - and a wealth of physical things - from finance to family. Great gains are happening in this final manifestation of the concrete world. You are in a safe space and can enjoy the fruits of all your hard work as well as plan for a stable future! Violet/Attract Lovely and sweet smelling this plant is used in perfumes and made into herbal remedies. It attracts both animals and humans and attract is the oracle property of the Violet. It reminds us that we can attract more flies with honey than vinegar - and it speaks to using diplomacy and a calm mind instead of getting confrontational. Simple civility will leave a large space open for others to gravitate towards us - new friends, new learning and new experiences! So this weekend, we may find ourselves surrounded by our family and friends, enjoying a secure and happy space. You worked hard to create this world so celebrate it. Leave your heart open and attract new energy, new community and new learning experiences to guide you to a stable future! Daily Mindfulness
RWS and Hedgewitch Botanical 2 of Wands The energy we got from the Ace is now doubled in the two. The world is in our hands and now is the time to make plans, list goals and create the visions we want to manifest. Weigh all options carefully, look at the choices we are given and make the best choice to fit the plan you want. There is a fiery energy available to you and you have the world at your fingertips. Sage/Purify With a long history of medical and culinary use, sage grows easily and is found in many places worldwide. The oracle property is purify because sage has been used for ages to ward off evil and cleanse spaces. We use it to smudge - clearing and balancing the energy of a space. When used with our 2 of wands, it speaks to finding a fresh approach to the world. Try new things or meet new people. Sage is a powerful tool for refocusing or starting something new in our lives. So today, get to making those plans and goals. set your intentions, plan carefully, look at all your choices and then get started! Sage speaks of focusing and balancing the energy we create and find the fresh new start you have been dreaming of. The world is yours, what will you do with it? ********** As an aside, I have been deeply thinking about what I can do to make my life more meaningful. I wrote about it here in this blog post. This morning I drew these cards while asking what can I do to bring more meaning in and how to I start to make a difference... these are the cards I drew. Daily Mindfulness
RWS & Hedgewitch Botanical 9 of Swords - I really dislike this card, especially when it reflects the night I just had ;) When your bed becomes a war zone and all you want to do is crawl under it. The 9 of swords indicates a head full of dark thoughts that cause us a lot of distress. In these moments we need to center ourselves, take a deep breath and ground ourselves in the moment. We often have no control over things in life but we can control how we react to them. Chicory/Sustain - Used as a drink and occasional food source for humans it is very valuable to animals as nutrient rich fodder when other crops are hard to grow. Sustain, is the oracle property of Chicory and it speaks to the availability and usefulness of the plant. That usefulness can also be seen in relation to a persons role in the community. Everyone has a usefulness and when we all come together we thrive. Do what you can to sustain others and you will find that they will do the same for you. So today, look to others to help you ground and center yourself. Sometimes we stay too long in our own heads and we need other people to help us see things "right-sized," again. Get out of your head and let others ease some of that distress! Daily Mindfulness
RWS and Hedgewitch Botanical Ace of Swords - The essence of our minds. This card advises us to follow our first instincts with that perfect clarity we get when everything is connecting perfectly. There is great power in the Ace of Swords - once we grasp control of our minds we can focus what thoughts we want and let go of the thoughts we no longer need. We are the masters of our minds! Wormwood /Caution - The lovely artemisia! Wormwood can repel pests and ward off many ailments but it can be toxic in some quantities. Caution, the property of this card, can save your life and keep you out of trouble. Look before you leap to be sure you know what you are getting into. So today, channel the swords property and use clear sight and thinking to cut through confusion. Follow your instincts but look before you jump! Daily Mindfulness
7 of Wands - some kind of confrontation is happening now but our fiery nature will help us stand up for what we believe in. Use your intelligence and quick mind to see what needs to be done but be wary of the fire's nature to consume us with "bloodlust" and wanting to fight beyond what needs to be done. You might be caught kind of off guard here too - I love this card for the mismatched shoes - makes me think he was in a almighty hurry to get to the playing field. You have the vantage point however, so use it wisely. King of Swords - A master of thinking and a powerful logical mind. He can be sensitive but more of often than not he is icy cool and has little patience until he sees results. He values truth, bold thinking and has the ability to express himself with perfect verbal responses when needed. So today, there may be a need for you to stand up for something you believe in - use your cool, analytical mind and be logical in harnessing the fire energy to keep you going. Creative thinking will keep you on top of the game! Daily Mindfulness
Medicine Cards Swan - shows us the wonders of grace. She surrendered to the rhythms of the Universe and became one with all planes of consciousness. Accept your ability to know what lies ahead. Let yourself transform into who you are meant to be, don't deny it or hold back! Relax and go with the natural flow of things. Let go of illusion and trust the universe and yourself - follow the spiral of your path with trust and grace! Daily Mindfulness
Eight of Pentacles - 8s have movement and this is an inner movement. We are growing and learning and perfecting our skills. Sometimes it seems boring to be doing things in a routine but by doing so we master our craft and it is for our own benefit. Challenge yourself to reach for higher levels of mastery! Four of Swords - Time to find a quiet place to reflect and rest. Things are happening around you but right now, it's best to just let yourself relax and quiet our minds. Solutions often arrive when we are not striving to find answers - so use this time wisely - problems will still exist but you can reframe your thoughts to better attend them. So today, spend some time working on what you love best. Challenge yourself to learn something new while you quiet your mind and let it do its job "behind the scenes," as you rest. What you should not do is go to IKEA on a Sunday in December hoping to find a rocking chair and all you end up finding is crazy crowds and no visible exit - which is why today's Daily Mindfulness is late ;) |
