Yesterday, it
was the night of the full Harvest moon and encouraged by Bev from By the Sycamore Tree I've decided to create a tarot spell/visual prayer in order to help me
cope with and accept the coming changes in my family. (S will be moving out when her boyfriend finds
a job) Also to help me see these changes in a positive light; perhaps even as a
kind of personal harvest after years of mothering.
I've learned this type of spell from Kerry from Neopagan Priestess. The tarot is a wonderful tool to visualize and focus on your desires,
need for change and maybe even your gratitude before you have actually experienced
the fulfilling of your desire or noticed a positive change.
Because I've
been working with the Anna K Tarot lately, this deck was a natural choice to use for my spell.
First I've laid
down yesterday’s card as the main theme.
Then I flipped through the deck to find cards which resonated with me and/or were connected one way or another to this theme. This went very quickly and without a
lot of thought. Finally I narrowed the little pile down to three cards to put
around the theme card.
I've picked the following cards:
I've picked the following cards:
Ace of Pentacles
for Me and M nourishing our roots, planting seeds, redefining our living together
and for new exciting opportunities for both of us
The Sun as
the symbol for joy, a positive outcome, and
self-confidence for all of us
The Three
of Rods for S making plans and starting out on a new exciting journey
I loved how
these three cards were radiating their yellow sunlight over the darker Eight of Cups. Yellow and blue, a match made in heaven!
I've put it
all on tray (thank you Kerry!) to put it wherever I want it to be. To focus on my intent I've come up with this little prayer. I tried to translate it as well as I could.
“May the sun shine its light over you and your
journey and your choices yet to make and over us while we are keeping our home safe
and enjoying the new opportunities this change will bring us.”
These are such wonderful cards to choose for your prayerful intentions! Anna K's Ace of Pentacles is one of my favorite Aces of all my decks. And the prayer is beautiful and full of love. :)

DeleteI think I was very affected by this moon this year. More than any other year I can remember. I'm a strong believer in prayer. This will surely help you Ellen. Hard transition when the birds leave the nest. Blessings to you and your babies!
ReplyDeleteMaybe your are more attuned to the moons energy this year? :)
DeleteI believe in prayer too, especially when there is a balance between gratitude and asking
Thank your for your kind wishes Catherine
