Your New Years Tarot Reading is ready to view! Open your heart to healing!

The Healing Star of Aquarius

New Year Tarot Spread

2013-2014

 

Every year I give myself a personal tarot reading, to have better insight into my year ahead. This year I have decided to do one for you all. Some of you I know personally, some I have never met. However, after doing this Universal reading, I feel so connected with each and every one of you. You see, we are all in need of some type of healing as we go into the New Year. I hope this reading inspires you all, to live to the fullest of your potential. To find those hidden talents that are lying dormant within the deepest depths of your soul, waiting to shine through for others to see. And to love one another with all your heart. We are all connected, and this is already proving to be a powerful year ahead, allowing us to open our minds to great possibilities. Namaste my friends, and enjoy!

 

1.( center card) Focus- Ask yourself, what causes you the most pain? What is your priority in healing? Where do you begin?

            Card: Nine of Staves- Protected by a wall of staves, the woman rests for the moment to regroup her thoughts. There is still much to do before success is secured.

            Meaning: A pause in work to reconsider plans. Completion is so close, yet so far away! You are stressing too much on the work that is yet to be completed, instead of pausing to look at it from a new prospective. Don’t give up, simply rest and regroup. The answer will be right in front of you as soon as you slow down long enough to see it.

 

2. ( right card)  Strengths-  Ask yourself, What are your strengths? What are your resources, gifts, talents? What do you need to nurture?

            Card: Five of Swords, Reversed- Two swords are laid down in truce. However, the woman still grasps three others, showing that the fight isn’t over just yet.

            Meaning-Defeat because of indecisiveness. Lack of trust. Learn to trust your instincts. Trust in yourself that making a solid decision with any matter will be the right choice. Learn to listen to that inner voice that speaks to you, and train your eyes to see the signs in nature all around you. Take time to nurture your mind, body and spirit.

 

3. (Bottom right card) Self-understanding- Ask yourself, how can your current insights start the healing process?

            Card: Six of Pentacles- The richly dressed woman decides to help the two beggars. She is so wealthy that giving only adds to her prosperity.

            Meaning: Philanthropy and generosity. Sharing talents with the world. Helping others. Generosity.  Money will never be able to buy happiness, and the most wealthy person in the world may not have a single penny. Give and share freely with compassion in your heart. That is true wealth. Understand your full potential, so that you can shine your light into the world! You may just change a persons’ life by one simple act of kindness.  

 

4. (Bottom left card) Obstacles- Ask yourself, what obstacles to healing do I face? What situations in my past block my growth?

            Card: Princess of Cups- The princess of cups, an adolescent girl as beautiful as Venus, is crowned with a waxing moon. Anticipating love, pleasure, and the ripeness of womanhood. She drinks fully.

            Meaning: Artistic inspiration and receptivity. A young woman who symbolizes the gifts of Venus- love, beauty and emotional richness. Movement in these areas of life. Grace. Keep yourself open to receive the gifts that the Universe has to give you. Find love in yourself and beauty in all things before you seek it in others. Allow yourself to find emotional stability and release the negative energy blocking your true self. Only then will you be able to grow into the Light Being you are destined to become!

 

5. (Upper left card) Advice- Ask yourself, what concrete creative action can I take to support my healing?

            Card: Two of Pentacles- The woman juggles two pentacles. Completely focused upon her act, she does not drop the pentacles.

            Meaning: The ability to juggle several situations at once. Job opportunities. Grace and bounty. Commerce and expansion. Stay positive and focused that you are on the right track, and don’t lose faith in yourself. Success is right around the corner, even if you can’t see your own progress.

 

6. (Top center card) Overview- Ask yourself, How does my healing relate to a larger picture? What does my pain tell me about the story of my life? What will I gain as a result of my healing?

            Card: Princess of Staves- The princess of Staves, a fiery-haired young woman, is as stalwart as the rocks surrounding her. She is an inspiration to others to live passionately without compromise.

            Meaning:  The ability to create beauty that is useful, like the Goddess Freyja. Energy, integrity, creativity. Initiative. New ideas or ventures to be acted upon immediately. A young woman who inspires others to live this mission. We all have a greater purpose to help others, and in doing so will give us peace and pleasure within ourselves. We all have a story to tell, so sit everyone down around the fire and tell it!  Set your own worth, and never let others take that away from you. Bring your amazing creative ideas into fruition. Trust in yourself that you are a born leader, and you will always succeed in all you do.

Breathe in this amazing upcoming year and release and let go of the things holding you back. Meditate to the rhythm of your own heartbeat, and allow it to pulse outward, for the whole world to hear. You ARE a born leader, so step up and accept your new role. WE are the blessed light workers that the winds of change have spoken of! Make this year your own!!

Namaste, and blessings to you all!

We are all connected my friends, and I can feel the pain and hurt you have lived with for so long. It is time for Universal healing, and it starts with you!

 

How To Be A Goddess; The Art of Manifestation

To be a woman, for me, is a right of passage. It is a connection to the Sacred Feminine, to Mother Nature herself, and is something that every woman should embrace, and learn to connect to. Whether you are a young adult new to The Path, or a wise Crone with seasoned experience, we are all connected. To each other, and to the great world and universe around us. The energy that resonates within our very selves, is the same energy that exists in everything that has ever been created. Even the smallest idea in your mind, is a burst of energy that gets put out into the universe. And it is for that very reason that even the dozens of mundane thoughts that you think in any given day, can, in turn, manifest into your life without you even realizing it.

But what does it mean, to be a Goddess? First, let’s look at what a Goddess is. She is powerful, and wise. She is beautiful, nurturing, all-knowing. The Goddess represents that inner strength that each of us holds within us.  She is that beacon of light when you are lost in the darkness. She IS creation itself. Her symbolism is known in every culture, every religion, all over the world, from the beginning of time. The Sacred Feminine has always been, and always will be. And when you can learn to embrace that power within yourself, you will truly know the power of the Goddess, and will be able to see all that she has to offer and teach you.

 

Begin each day by making statements of I AM. I am strong. I am beautiful. I am powerful. I am a perfect manifestation of the Universe. I am respected and honored. I am a creator. Simply saying these statements isn’t enough though; you must feel them in your heart to be true. You must force that energy, out into the world.

That which you choose to manifest into this world, has no choice but to be.

That is the key to manifestation, whether it is positive or negative. Whether it is intentional or sub-conscious, your thoughts and emotions are all connected with everything around you. For example, say you have been ill recently, and maybe it took a little longer to bounce back than usual. Did you say or think things like, “I am so tired of being sick!” or, “Why am I sick all the time?!” What you were really putting out into the Universe was “I am sick.” I am tired.” Now, of course you didn’t say those things on purpose, nobody in their right mind enjoys being sick for weeks on end. But your energy and your emotions were stating otherwise. When you are tired and cranky, and just plain don’t feel good, of course you will react this way. We have all said these very exact statements at one time or another. But the key, is to catch yourself when you have said or even just thought these statements, and change them. Coming down with an illness isn’t always a bad thing. Our bodies are made to fight off things which can cause us harm, and are made to tell us when we have done too much, and need rest. To experience fatigue and fever means that your body is working hard to fight and kill whatever is attacking it. So, next time a cold or virus has you feeling down, listen to your body (and your Doctor!). Rest and relax as much as possible, and let the foods you eat, and medicines you may have to take do their job, to nourish and replenish you. Remind yourself that you will feel well again soon, and allow your mind and body to simply stop. Tell yourself that you will be well again once your body has done its job, and then, once you are feeling yourself again, make sure to thank the Powers that Be for allowing you rest and healing.

 

Negative sub-conscious manifestation happens every day. “I hate my job!” “Why am I always struggling with money?” “I guess I will just never find Mr. Right.” Being angry, and in the heat of the moment is the worst time for things like that to slip out, and sneak up into our minds. They are really bad habits that are hard to break. But, as they say, practice makes perfect. Begin slowly, one at a time. Catch yourself when you say these things, and replace them with positive affirmations. “I will make the best of my job, until the right one comes my way.”  “I am wealthy, and everything is being provided for me.” “I love myself, and am open for love in my life.”

Manifestation is being able to see yourself, in the near future, having already accomplished your goal. Looking for a new job? Visualize yourself already working where you wish to be, wearing the proper attire for that job, smiling and loving your career. Experiencing financial burdens? Visualize yourself, extremely content, all your financial needs being met, and having all the things that you need and want in your possession. Now, that doesn’t mean to visualize yourself in a 10 bedroom mansion, lounging by your salt water pool. Keep yourself in check, and close to reality. The Universe knows what you need to provide for you. The Art of Manifestation simply enhances what the Powers that Be are already trying to do for you.

 

 

We all have the power of The Goddess within us, and the power to manifest all of our hopes and dreams into reality. Search within your heart for that fire inside you. Search the deepest depths of yourself, and find what truly drives you. Run with that flame burning bright, and don’t ever be afraid to let your inner Goddess shine.

Greetings!

Welcome and brightest blessings! My name is Melissa, and I have been a practicing Wiccan for over ten years. I am a mother to three wonderful energetic boys, a wife to an amazing man, and I just so happen to be a Witch. At the first look of the word I'm sure some would envision the infamous scene in The Wizard of Oz, where flying monkeys chase a terrified Dorothy, and the Wicked Witch of the West cackles with delight, "I'll get you my pretty!" Luckily for all of us though, the only monkeys I have are in the form of rambunctious children, and I never quite mastered the cackle. In actuality, being a witch is very serene and spiritual, and has always been more of a way of life than a stereo-typical tag in society for me. Simply put, it means that I put a little more intent with the energy and substance I put out into the world. I pay a little more attention to my surroundings, the way I treat my fellow neighbor, and the lessons I teach my boys. I live by the waxing and waning of the moon, our ever-changing seasons, and have learned to never take for granted the precious time we are given in this plane.
 I lost my mom in 2009. Cancer. She was my best friend, my mentor, and even through such a tragic period in my life, I found so many spiritual and positive aspects from her passing. I'm sure I will go into deeper detail on that topic at a later date though, for it is a very strong emotional period in my life. It led to the bitter divorce of my ex-husband, and the emerging of a new, beautiful relationship that I now have in my life.
I hope to post random tid-bits of information here on a regular basis, from recipes, to spells, even kid friendly arts and crafts. I love learning new things, and even more so, I love sharing them! I can't wait to browse the blogging world and find some awsome reads, as well as make some new life-long friendships!
Until then though, I must call it a night. Thank you for viewing my brand new page, and I hope you come back soon! Thanx!
     May the love of the God and Goddess be forever in your heart
     Merry ye meet and merry ye part
     and merry ye meet again!
