Today is Situation/Challenge
Situation: Nine of Pentacles - Today is about enjoying life! You have taken the time and effort to create lovely things and now those lovely things are yours to enjoy! You have been self-sufficient and dedicated to the tasks at hand and now it is time to enjoy all you have created. Frankenstein - Well, Victor created his "monster," and not everyone understood him. Eventually it got a bride out of the deal and then a son... I think it may even have met Abbott and Costello at some point. So, get out there and enjoy all the goodness life has - don't let your inner monster get you down. Challenge: Eight of Cups - You are on a journey, coming and going - and sometimes you have to leave or take a break from something to clear your head. Sometimes you need to be alone and sometimes you just need a new creative outlet. But you are not burning any bridges by doing so, you're just venturing outside your comfort zone for awhile. Recharge yourself and know you will be safe while you do so. Pirate - These guys are always coming and going - out to sea for awhile then back into town to enjoy the booze and what not. Although I have the suspicion that many pirates burned A LOT of bridges before leaving town, a few of them were gentlemanly enough to leave things as they were, (history is a little fuzzy here) So, today is a day to enjoy and let your inner monster loose for awhile, you have worked hard and earned it. Steer clear of pillaging and plundering and rifling and looting - unless you are at Disneyland and riding fun rides.

Today is Situation/Challenge
Situation: King of Wands - Fiery wands and the focus of the Kings...A great leader with strength and nobility. Confident and controlled with their emotions and has mastered his passions. Willing to take chances and leads the way if no one else steps in. How can I guide myself to channel my passions and have the most productive emotions? Anubis: God of embalming and watching over the dead. He ushered souls into the afterlife and attended the weighing of the heart - to see what happened to the soul. Protector of graves and cemeteries. Make sure your heart is light. Control yourself and be a strong and focused person - so your soul is lighter than the feather. Challenge: Ace of Swords - Symbol of possibility in intelligence, trust, clarity. Clear communication and using your mind to solve issues. View things with impartial clarity and rationality. The universe giving you a yes. Quezalcoatl - an Aztec sky and creator god often referred to as The Feathered Serpent . He was also the patron god of the Aztec priesthood, of learning and knowledge. Quezalcóatl became the god of the morning and evening star, and his temple was the centre of ceremonial life in Tula. Also a Wind God of learning, writing and books. So for today, lean more toward your passionate and creative side. Stay focused and channel your passions in a productive way. If choices are necessary, follow your passion then your brain. ;) Daily Mindfulness - Spirit Tarot Deck 2 card spread - Situation/Challenge for the Weekend!10/12/2018 Today is Situation/Challenge
Situation: Three of Wands - It is a time of trust and being patient. You have taken care of the details and now you need to relax and let it all unfold. Everything is coming together to give you the best possible outcome. Brownie: A brownie is a household spirit that comes out at night while people are asleep and does chores. The human owners of the house must leave a bowl of milk or some other offering for the brownie. They are described as easily offended and will leave their homes if they feel they have been insulted or given clothes by the family. So, don't upset your Dobby, he is doing all sorts of prep for you and is helping you get your stuff together. Challenge: King of Pentacles - This King has accumulated a lot of stuff - borderline hoarder here. But he did work hard for it and has built quite a collection. He enjoys pleasure and success and he doesn't back down from challenges. A successful and abundant leader who appreciates all of the senses. Leprechaun: A type of fairy, usually looking like a tiny green dressed man. They are solitary creatures who spend their time making and mending shoes and have a hidden pot of gold. If caught by a human, they are said to offer three wishes for their freedom. They don't much like giving up that hoarded gold, so keep an eye out for them. So this weekend, try to relax, let things happen as they will and know your Dobby will have it all ready when you need it. Maybe clean out the closet and give some unneeded stuffs away or share some of your wealth with others so you don't get bogged down in all that gold.

Today is Situation/Challenge Situation: Queen of Pentacles - The lady of abundance and sharing. She is generous and loves to share her bounty with others. She can manifest what she needs and is unselfish in nature. She values her gifts and shares them with others with love. Dryad - are nymphs or tree spirits. They exist to watch over the tree they are born with and in rare cases, groves and other creatures. They are not something to be taken lightly but are deserving of the respect granted to any divine being. They bring a sense of life and natural being to the places their trees inhabit and are mysterious and unique. One of my favorite stories is about Eurydice, , an oak Dryad who fell in love with Orpheus. One day a snake bit her and she died. Orpheus was heartbroken and convinced Hades to let her go. Hades agreed but said if Orpheus looked back even once to see if she was following, she would never be released from the Underworld. Just as Orpheus was stepping out of the Underworld he felt a moment of doubt and looked back. Eurydice was not quite at the threshold and was swept back in. *cry* Challenge: Four of Swords - A reminder to get some rest and contemplation. Letting your racing thoughts quiet themselves. Now is the time for thinking, not acting. Slow down and be still. Find serenity and seek stillness - the perfect place to create dreams. Vampire - creatures of the night, the undead. Spend the night hours looking for food and fun. But need to be back in bed before the sun comes up. In relation to the 4 of swords, I think of Lestat de Lioncourt - who tended to think about things philosophically. I guess if a vampire needed to pass some time waiting for the sun to set, he could ponder the deeper meanings of life... or death? So today we need to fight the urge to withdraw and be more open and sharing with others. This can be hard if we naturally tend to introversion (ME) but you have great gifts and now is the time to get them into the open! (I have no idea why my photos show up sideways, but if you click them, they pop up correctly)
Today is Situation/Challenge Situation: The Hermit! Today is a day for inner knowledge - solitude. Checking in with yourself. What can you do to bring more solitude into your life right now? Inner thought will bring more wisdom. YETI! A legend, the abominable snowman is an ape-like entity that is said to inhabit the Himalayan area of Nepal and Bhutan. (Can also be spotted on the Matterhorn ride at Disneyland if you look for him on the bumpy curve!) Very little evidence has ever been captured as this Yeti loves his privacy. So, if people try to bug you today, give out a roar and hide in the nearest cave! Challenge: Knight of Wands - I always think of this guy as the love knight LOL Charisma and a wanderlust for adventure - irresistible to others, attracts people and loves new things. A networking kind of guy who loves connecting to others. Hanuman - I'm sorry, but this one looks way too much like Homer Simpson and I can't stop giggling. *okayokay* His origins are unclear but he is viewed as the ideal combination of "strength, heroic initiative and assertive excellence" and "loving, emotional devotion to his personal god Rama." He has been the patron god of martial arts such as wrestling, acrobatics, as well as meditation. He symbolizes the human excellences of inner self-control, faith and service to a cause, hidden behind the first impressions of a being who looks like a monkey - and also Homer Simpson. So, the challenge is taming the inner love monkey and finding a nice, quiet cave somewhere so you can get some quality "me time." Daily Mindfulness
3 card spread Today/Focus/Let go of Today: Nine of Swords - Worry is a waste of time and energy. Don't let your thoughts control your path. Let go of unhelpful beliefs and don't let your thoughts run away with you. Allow things to unfold as they will - you are the master of your thoughts and you control where you are going. Conquer the negative thoughts and replace them with positive intentions and plans. Basilisk: A serpent who can cause death with a single glance. The weasel is the only animal that can face and even attack it. It can only be killed with the crowing of a rooster, so, until very recent times, travelers were carrying a rooster when they ventured into areas where it was said that the basilisks lived. Best to either keep your eyes closed til morning or carry a rooster and or weasel with you at all times that way you are covered for anything and you don't need to worry about it. Focus: 6 of Cups - Something from the now is reminding you of the past - a reconnecting to the best feelings you had once and is coming back around again. Open your heart, it is safe so give freely of that open heart. What gifts can you give uninhibited and childlike? Genny Greenteeth: A river hag similar to a grindylow, she would pull children or the elderly into the water and drown them. The name is also used to describe duckweed, which can form a continuous mat over the surface of a small body of water, making it treacherous, especially to unwary children. A warning perhaps to not get too nostalgic for the past - it may come back to bite you - we often paint the past with rosy memories - if you find yourself doing so, perhaps whack yourself in the head with a frying pan ala Tiffany Aching. (Wee big jobs) Let go of: The Emperor - Leadership, authority, rules and achievement. I have the power to control my destiny. Unyielding structure and self discipline. Sphinx: Part human, lion, it is mythicised as treacherous and merciless. Those who cannot answer its riddle must suffer a fate typical in such mythological stories, as they are killed and eaten by this ravenous monster. Today is a good day to steer clear of taxing riddles - it just sounds painful. 3 card draw for mindfulness today/what to focus on/what I can let go of Today: Justice - today focus on responsibilities, balancing all the factors. What you put into something is what you get out of it. Remember, positive effort will give you positive results! Valkyrie: In Norse mythology, a valkyrie "chooser of the slain," is one of a host of female figures who decide who will die in battle. After, the valkyries bring their chosen to Valhalla where they prepare for the events of Ragnarok. Valkyries are sometimes accompanied by ravens or swans. So choose well. The choices might not be as vital as who accompanies you at the end of the world, but you never know. Focus on: Queen of Wands - Be upfront with your emotions. The Queen is a self-starter, who knows what she wants and how to get it. Cheerful and charming, she believes in herself and knows how to channel her emotions to get the best results. Have deep faith in your abilities! Lilith: This lady was a badass who got a bad rap in the bible. She knew exactly what she wanted and who she was and was not going to settle for anything less. Channel your inner Lilith today! Let go of: King of Swords - The king is intellectual, analytic and applies reason and logic to his thoughts. These are all great things! But today, the cards are saying, go more with your emotional side and less with the analytical side. It is always good to balance these two things, but if you need to choose, go with the heart first, then the mind! Viking: Explorers, Norse seafarers - they set sail to expand their horizons and it must have taken tremendous planning and thought to do all they achieved. Today might not be the day to channel your inner Ragnar Lothbrock though. Stick to your softer side and save the raids for another day. Yesterday I posted about the fun trip I had to Spirit Halloween store - a few people asked to see more of the tarot cards I found there, so here they are!
