Without- Within- Advice spread with the Mary El Tarot

For today I wanted to do a daily three card spread which I found it the guidebook of the Mary El tarot

Without - The world
It seems I have it all under control. I have a house, a steady income, good health, a loving family and I am able to cope with the ups and downs life will present me with. Life is good and I am content. My dreams are fulfilled and I have nothing to complain about.
Within – Six of Wands
This is the archangel Michael, slayer of demons and dragons. Yes, although life is good, I still have many demons to confront. The question this card is asking me is if I want to slay my demons or if I want to assimilate them to become a more complete person. I think the latter. My demons are my own, they are part of who I am, although perhaps they are a bit deformed and grown out of proportion over the years. Marie White states that in this card our higher self meets our shadow. I think that although this might be scary, it is a necessary encounter which we can’t escape forever.
Advice - Ace of Wands
Roar woman! Show your strength and think of a creative way to lure your demons into the light. Don’t be afraid of who you are because you are wonderful and one of kind. This card is the primordial spark of creation. It is the embodiment of courage and power; the seed of our creativity and our intent. What better card to call us to arms than this one.  It is one of the greatest gifts life has to offer us and we only have to reach out than grab it, because it is always and everywhere!

I feel that when I can harness the power of this ace and meet my demons with courage and confidence the energy of The World will become an intrinsic part of who I am.

  1. That Six of Wands should remind you of the miles you have traveled and the progress you've made - you have slain demons in the past, and have the ability to do so again! (Cheering you on from across the pond. :D)

    1. The Aces and Kings are a bit too much for me too. Oh and don't forget the Fool. Anyway I do prefer pictures of naked women over pictures of naked man.

  3. That is a whole lot of feminine energy surrounding you. Put your best dress or outfit on, fuss with hair and makeup, and tap into that power that is Ellen! ROAR indeed!

    1. Thank you for the encouragement Carolyn. Putting on some makeup is often forgotten, so I will give it a go tomorrow morning! :)

  4. Oh, I rather love the message from Michael there. Perhaps unsurprising, given I've been doing lots of shadow work the last few weeks. And I just this morning posted a spell for integrating a shadow aspect. Yet, with that fiery Ace of Wands creativity, I see you finding your own, unique way of doing it :D
    I'm also with Sharyn on this one: you're a braver woman than me! I have still not done a single reading with this deck, and should probably give it away. I keep hold of it, thinking one day I may dare to approach it... :D :D

    1. Yes it relates beautifully to your post about shadow work
      The deck does require an open minded way of looking at "things". :D

  5. So I love looking into others share their reads especially for the MAry El tarot. Its my first deck and was gifted to me and I love it. It helps see it like this since there arent that many forums explaining Mary El and its mix up of styles. today I actually had the 6 of wands as my WITHOUT too! and I'm learning to build more of a relationship with the 3 card spread. Thanks to everyone who contributes. It definitely helps! Id love to find a MAry El tarot study buddy who has been working with it for a while!
