Sometimes I
think when my decks had actual voices, they would cry out this message even before
I could pull a card. Today’s three card spread has given me a message I have got
so many times before already. Honestly I do think I make a serious effort to
respond to this message as well as I can but for today the Original Rider Waite Tarot thought I needed to see it laid out before me with yet another combination of
cards:
Energy/
focus of today : the Ace of Pentacles.
Since I’m almost continuously searching for
a balance between expressing myself creatively and feeling safe enough to create
without fear of failure this card feel like a gift of God(dess). And it is depicted
as such in this deck too. This is the card of abundance and of small seeds
coming to fruition. It is the beginning of something tangible and new. So here I
am again encouraged to pick up my supplies and express myself in whatever way I feel is right for me today.
Challenge :
King of Cups. The king of Cups is a wise and benevolent King but he is also detached
from his own feelings. Always busy helping and understanding everybody else so
he won’t have to put his feet into his own dark undercurrents. It is obvious that
when everybody needs him, he doesn’t have the time to be introspective, let alone be creative at all. I will
be on the lookout for this tendency of mine to put off my own needs so I can
use all my energy for others (What a clever coping skill by the way)
Gift: The Magician:
This is the card of confidence, capability, initiative and the courage to do whatever
we really want to. His confidence is the perfect antidote for the deep rooted fear
of the King of Cups. Just as the King is shying away from his Cup, the Magician
will pick it up and use whatever it contains to his advantage and to manifest
his deepest desire.
“Everything
you want is on the other side of fear. “
Confidence. a difficult space for many of us.
ReplyDeleteEspecially when it's undermined so frequently when I was younger.
DeleteThe cards certainly like to make things clear for you. I've actually taken a well need break this month. Not much tarot studying...finally a little less travelling for family gatherings. It was definitely needed. Looking back on my Year Ahead spread in December. June was a 4 of swords month. Ha! So funny.
ReplyDeleteI hope the gift of the Magician serves you well for today!
Thank you!!
DeleteIt is such a great act of self love to take a step back and replenish yourself

Look for someone with a generous heart to give you a nugget of wisdom and that hint or suggestion will bring some magic (big or small) into your life.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a valid interpretation of these cards too. It never seizes to amaze me how versatile tarot is. :)
DeleteIsn't it strange what we use to distract ourselves with? Hope that Magician will rap on his table to get your attention and remind you that your needs are important too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bev. This correlates perfectly with my cards of today: Two of Swords and Nine of Cups: First I have to find out what it is I really want and then I will decide .....
DeleteAll the hands are holding sacred objects in this spread. I'm imagining a day of working with your hands--in the garden, baking, with your paints--as a way to integrate the cards' message. Wishing you a good day, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rose for pointing that out to me. After writing this comment M and I are goign to bake a cinnamon apple cake, so our hands will be quite busy :D
DeleteThat Magician, in one guise or another, does keep coming back of late, doesn't he? Hope you managed to manifest something lovely - whether cinnamon apple cake, art piece, or journalling, or whatever else called to you :)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately there hasn't been much time left for me to manifest but I am hopeful that the rest of the week will have enough room for me to create some magic :)
