"I am," she said.

I have a deck of tarot cards I very much enjoy, that is the Shadowscapes Tarot.  Recently it has been giving me the Star in a lot of my readings.  The Star is a good card, but the Shadowscapes I use daily, for sort of a take on the day and its possibilities.  I do not consider its symbols beyond the short term. When I want to do that, I look at my Ansata Deck.

The Ansata is Major Arcana only, and I really connect with that deck. For the longest, possibly 3 months now, it will only give me the Emperor as a card to signify me.  The Emperor is the sign of the Pathway from Tiferet to Chokmah on the Tree of Life.  This made perfect sense for me during that period.

Today, I grabbed the Ansata.  I fully expected to grab the Emperor.  Instead, I grabbed - yes, you guessed it, The Star.


It is a New Dawn, It is a New Day!

Daily Readings...

Each day I do a Rune and Tarot card meditation.  I pull one card to discern the environment of the day, what I should focus on; I also pull one rune for this.  Today I decided to pull three cards and two runes.  Why? Because it felt right. 

Cards of the day: 
  1. To signify Me, I pulled Six of Wands
  2. To signify the Environment, I pulled Ten of Pentacles
  3. To further qualify the second card, I pulled the King of Pentacles
In light of recent events, this is a very hopeful reading.  I have been seeing this come into being, and I am thankful...

For the Runes:
  1. Ansuz
  2. Othala
This is extremely interesting in light of yesterday's meditation, and last night's dream.

The Unclear Questions

Today is a time for shaking off the old burdens and habits, a time for asking the questions whose answers were previously unclear.......That is what I was told in this morning's tarot meditation.  Tarot meditation is something I do almost every day, ritually.  Today was, however, rather different. For one, I did a three card spread, instead of just choosing one card.  I felt this was necessary in light of certain events that have occurred recently.

After doing my brief reading, I journeyed on my day as usual.  I did my yoga, then settled down to do meditation.  I have been reading a book titled Kabbalah and Meditation by Aryeh Kaplan. This particular book is amazing.  I am only about 3 chapters in, but I have learned so much already and am excited about that journey.  As such, I decided to chant YHVH while doing my usual chakra meditation.

Often, when I meditate, I journey with my spirit guides. Today, however, I focused on the Middle Pillar exercise, charging all of my chakras top-down.  Normally, when I do this, I take some time to fully experience each chakra and fill it full of light.  This meditation was different in that I did not have to focus on them, they filled up like water and flowed over rapidly into the next until they were all vibrating.


After filling my chakras, I focused on the name of G-D.  I repeated over and over the names of the letters that comprise God's name.  I cannot describe this feeling, or anything I saw or experienced, but it was beautiful and rich.  I wanted to stay in meditation much longer than I did, but alas.... work, the mundane, calls.....
