Joy, an infinite power source

Halloween Oracle Joy
Today’s word  to draw is card with is Power: “The ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way or to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events.” So I was wondering  what would increase this ability for me and I drew: “Joy, Rejoice the Present” from the Halloween Oracle. The mere sight of this card gave me a jolt of energy. A  feeling of bliss and physical alertness. It is for everybody more than obvious how experiencing Joy can give a boost to our energy levels. Why then is it so hard to remember to be aware of those little things in the present moment that will bring us joy or even more difficult, to seek out joy as a conscious act of  self care?
When you look closely to the girl in this card you will notice that she doesn't smile, yet... She is opening herself up though to the warmth of the Autumn sun, the bright oranges and yellows nature has painted this day with and the rustling sound of the falling leaves. It is as if she is consciously invoking her power from the beauty all around her. I am sure when she puts down her hands there will be  a smile on her face.
Today I will carry my Sun stone with me as a reminder to actively seek Joy in the here and now

  1. Thank you for sharing and reminding me to choose joy, from one day to the next it is a choice. Also for the reminder to carry a personal talisman in our pocket. Enjoy your day.

  2. Love this card draw. I drew the Eight of Coins for "power". Makes perfect sense but it's not as fun as your card. ha ha ha. Joy is definitely a powerful thing.

  3. That was the first thing I noticed about this card - that the woman wasn't smiling. But it could be as you said: some of us catch on quickly and others more slowly. :)

    1. I am sure that her smile will come out sooner than we think :)

  4. This is a beautiful card. Like you say energising. Sometimes we smile when we are sad and likewise sometimes we smile just after (rather than in) the joyful moment.

  6. Beautiful...... This card seems to embody the joy of the autumn season, as the leaves change color and drift slowly downward. It's a magical time. Finding the joy in these seemingly simple and yet gloriously miraculous experiences is a great practice. Today I am sitting and working outside because it is gray (which means no intense heat from the sun!) and the temperature is actually cool for once! This is the gentle transition into winter, and winter here does resemble a northern fall, which I'm greatly looking forward to <3
