Celtic lenormand - Line of Five

Besides using it for spellwork this gorgeous lenormand deck: The Celtic Lenormand By Chloe McCracken and Will Worthington has already become  my most favorite lenormand reading deck. This deck suprises me time and again with its clear and indepth readings. The additional cards has proven their worth to me on many occasions. Besides reading Lenormand cards sometimes for daily advice, I do like to read the cards mostly for spiritual guidance and personal empowerment. And this deck lends itself for either approach perfectly.

Yesterday I have pulled five cards after I had taken down my healing spell. The question was: “Where do I go from here?”  The middle card is the main focus of the reading and the other four cards will give me additional clarification and advice.

The cards are: Path(22) + Lady(29) + Stars(16) + Dog(18) + Fish(34)

Stars, as the main answer to my question, speaks to me of following my dream, my true North: to follow my Star. Then I will find my inspiration to create again.

Dog + Lady:  A, or a few good female friend(s) will help me along the way or the Lady is the Goddess from my Healing Spell and She will protect me as my loyal guide  on this journey

Path + Fish. These trusted friends/guide will help me chose the road to flowing abundance and spiritual growth;  to feelings of having enough, of being content  and connected  to my intuition

Path +Lady : Lady of the crossroads….She will ask me to choose at some point

Dog + Fish : A wealthy friend????  Or rather somebody who can bring a wealth of experience and wisdom to the table….

I loved doing this reading and again I was very pleased with what this deck had to share with me

Chosing Joy, moment by moment...

How do you start to live fully again after having suffered a great loss? How do we pick up our daily chores and activities.  How do we start to feel joy without guilt and feeling like we do something wrong. As if laughter isn't allowed while grieving.

It has been a week since Tara died and we miss her every hour of the day but we are also trying to move forward. Yesterday we have buried her ashes but in the meantime we are also thinking about a new puppy. We've always had a dog and the emptiness is screaming to be filled by a furry little rascal to love, to cherish and to care for.

After a long time without playing with my cards, I've picked up the Mystical Lenormand and asked how to embrace joy:

And I pulled Whip + Sun + Roads

I see this line of three as a encouragement to consciously choose joy and happiness over repetitive regrets and guilt. Grieving is good but it is also okay to take you mind of the sadness and enjoy the little things which might make you happy.
