The 10 of Swords. Then the 10 of Cups. Then Rebirth.

I was gifted with some Copal. This resin is new to me, and I feel curious and eager to experience it! I shuffled some cards this morning for myself.. it's been about 10 days since I've drawn for myself (although I've been busy drawing for others - absolutely on FIRE.)  So I'm not even sure that I had a specific question. It was more "Show me how it goes." And Rebirth.

I know I've shown Rebirth here before. But it's different today. The other cards that came with this showed me right now we are in the middle of a "Ten of Swords." A complete ending. It's rational, and the pain of it can be embraced or fought. It's not to be feared. His armour is off, and I find it interesting that the placement of the swords are in his back.

"I lovingly release others to their own lessons. I lovingly care for myself. I move with ease through life."

This is the entire spread. Not what I thought I would get, and one or two surprises, but exactly what needed to be said.

Gazing Sphere! Fast Manifestation - What a Gift!

Today was AMAZING.

I had a reading out in a beautiful area, on a magical piece of property on Peek a Boo trail, in Toanche.  WHELMING. The energy was BIG.

I read for 4 ladies - every reading I wanted to go over in time! The last lady was the owner of the house. This house was completely made out in native decoration, a fantastically decorated home. I read in 'the library' - a room that had shelves from floor to ceiling, on all 4 walls. Filled with books that could have been on my own shelves (and some of them are!). Herbalism, Shamanism, Healing, Magic. I didn't see the stacks of tarot and divination cards until she and I had finished our readings. I remarked that I had a deck (Quester) that she had, but I hadn't touched it yet. I think after today, I'm ready to.

Anyway, at the beginning of her reading, before we even started, she said She had something she's been hanging onto for years. She knew it wasn't for her, but she had to have it to caretake for whoever it was for. And do I like round... you know...(and then she made the shape of the ball with her hands.) 

"Crystal Balls?" I said

"Yes! I have one for you. If you want it. As soon as you walked into my house, I knew it was for you."

Sitting with my little bowl of penny wishes

 Absolutely, I said. I was looking online last night at some, and said to the Universe I'm so excited for MINE to come to me! I've been waiting for one since I worked at The Crow's Nest in Midland ages ago.

I'm surprised and pleased that it came to be so QUICKLY.

What's even better - I KNOW it was meant for me. The base is represented by pagan/wiccan Maiden/Mother/Crone. Not a native imagery. I made a girlish noise when I realized what was on the base.

Check this out:

Maiden

Mother

Crone

Each of the vine leaves are perfect.

She also giften me with a painted stone with the native wheel she painted on it.

It sits with the other stones and crystals I have, on my makeshift altar. There's NO room on my altar for the gazing ball. It's currently filled with the God of Summer, and a mermaid! Oh, and the clock that represents timelessness! See the copper coil? It's for the orgonite I'll be making - apparently pretty soon!!

Today I feel blessed. I think I was given a wonderful gift with todays readings.

Old Tarot Kitty and My Tarot Decks.

I bought 2 new decks of cards yesterday... A mini Rider Waite deck, and a Gypsy Card Deck. It made me wonder, how many decks DO I have around here? I primarily use my Druid Craft Tarot.. So, I gathered them up. And placed them around Old Tarot Kitty.. Because there was no way I was going to get her to pose where I WANTED her to...

1. My old Rider Waite deck on the top of the pile. I used those for 15 years.
2. Then, the stack of ** Karma Cards, with the book below. I haven't even looked at them.
3. Then, my Druid Craft Tarot on the bottom of the stack.
4. The box under the Karma Cards book that says "Easy Tarot" contains a deck of Guilded Tarot. I've worked with this set with a tarot student at one point, so although I know the deck, I've never read with them.
5. The ** Quester box is a tarot deck that follows a "Native Americal Brave on his quest to become a fully fledged Spiritual Warrior." Again, I haven't even opened these yet.
6. There's my Morgan Greer deck. I bought them 12 years ago, from ebay. Tried to use them then, and couldn't! Gave them to my son for a bit, and he played with them when he was 9 or 10. He lost interest, so I took them back.. after I did a tarot class about 1.5 years ago, I suddenly was able to use them! So, I bring them when I do readings now.
7. The new mini rider waite
8. The Gypsy cards.

So, I know that at least one of these decks will be gifted out this week (either the mini rider, or the Guilded.) I tend to collect books and cards with the express purpose that someday they will be gifted to someone who is ready for them.

We are SEVEN days away from me being DONE (at least for the summer) with my Thrift Store job (which I LOVE.) so, seven more days until I'm WAY more focused to work with YOU, with the Tarot and my guides!

If you live long distance, we can do this by email or phone.
(yeah. I'm pretty awesome that way! Cackle!)

** These cards came to me in a big lot I purchased about a year ago... It contained these cards, a pile of books (about 15) on reiki, tarot, magic, herbal, etc etc.  There were a handful of crystals, a big handful of feathers, 8 bundles of sage (big bundles!) and a bunch of packs of incense. There was also a small shell for burning sage, .. there may have been more things, but it was some time ago and all those things have since found homes in my home or have been gifted.

So, yesterday Raphael shows up...

...While I was doing a Reiki / Reflexology session. And I say to my trusty guide of 10 years, Gabe, "So, what's his story? And why is he coming through now." But Gabe stayed quiet for the most part, told me it was time for changes. So, I asked Raphael, as he danced around my meadow with musical instruments (it was hard to keep him still!) and I swear to you, he said "Google that shit."

I laughed, and said "I thought you beings were bigger than that language."

His reply: "I need to connect with you on your level. You use that language a lot."

I could not argue.

This morning, I Googled him. It's interesting to have them come in, not knowing anything about them (other than their names..) I'm wondering, though, why I am getting archangels?

Name Meaning

God Heals

Angel of

Angel of Healing

Angel Description

The Angel of Healing – Raphael, who’s name means "God Heals,"" is charged with the healing of our beloved. Earth and all of her inhabitants. He begins with purifying our minds and erasing false beliefs. It is our thoughts that trigger health problems, not our body. All healing facilities and practitioners (both traditional and alternative) are guided and helped by Raphael. Your call upon Archangel Raphael invokes his presence to clear blocks within the energy body so that the flow of universal life-force energy can heal both the cause of the block and its physical manifestation. Health and vitality are your natural state of being. Your symptoms give clues to help you find causes of imbalance. Ask Raphael to guide you with clarity and love in your process of healing and feel free to invoke him for the healing of others as well. Raphael manages the Virtues order of angels. He is affectionately known for his powers of healing and for saving people from danger. Because of his knack for rescuing those in unfamiliar territory or dire straits, he is also said to protect travelers. Raphael usually intervenes when people are wounded or in pain, and some say he still visits hospitals, ministering to the sick and injured. He also comforts those in spiritual pain or in wrenching emotional ordeals. He has been called the "Angel of the Sun" because of his ability to rekindle the spark of life in sick bodies. And his reputation for performing "medical miracles" has also earned him the title of the "Angel of Science and Knowledge".

A Little News.

Well! Good Day!
Tomorrow night is the last night of the theatre production I'm in. AND,
yesterday I gave my notice to the thrift shop I work in, that I will be taking the summer off.  (For those of you who didn't know, I have been working part time in a thrift shop. Sorry if that bursts your bubble about who I am.. but, I am who I am! )

This means I'll be spending WAY more time with YOU - this was one of my goals in this. To be able to really connect again with everyone, to spend more time healing in the way I'm SUPPOSED to be!

I will still be doing Reiki Reflexology healing over the summer, but I'm cutting my hours of availability way down, too.

I'm still working out my schedule, what it will be (when I'll be available for live readings and when I will be available for chat readings and online.) but you know I'll let you know as soon as I've written it out.

Must get my day started!

Blessings,

Lori Grace
