Strength

Today Sacred Spirit is reminding us where our strength comes from. We see the woman restraining the lion, one of the most powerful wild animals on this planet. She is not struggling to do it. In fact, it looks as if she is petting him as she restrains him. The lion obviously trusts her. She has a track record with him. She has shown him over time that she is trustworthy.

If we want to influence situations around us, we must first display to the people around us that they can trust us. When we bring love and integrity into our daily lives, we begin to build power and influence into them to. It’s a little counter to what our culture teaches about power and authority, but love has always had better results than brute force.

Page of Wands Reversed

This card is one that represents a call to doing something creative, launching a new business, coming up with a new recipe, finding a new way to do something that we already do every day, anything like that. And it has to do with things we are passionate about.

With this card coming up reversed, Sacred Spirit is telling us that it’s time to begin to look for that next creative thing or activity that we are passionate about. There is one lurking just under the surface that we haven’t tapped into yet. It’s time to find it and tap into it. Let it bring us the happiness we were born for.

Peace,

Hierophant Reversed

The Hierophant suggests ancient wisdom and deep rooted tradition. On some decks the hierophant pictured is the Catholic Pope. I personally relate to this card as reaching further back than the popes to the ancient of ancient wisdoms. The type of wisdom the people had before formal religion came along. Before Judaism was birthed.

People in more ancient days than formal religion were in touch with Sacred Spirit through the land and through the weather in the land, through the nature around them and even the planets. They learned how the ways of life are through observing and participating with these things as well as each other. This card to me, speaks of that kind of ancient wisdom. I see it as the wisdom that God or Source or Creator or Sacred Spirit, as I like to call Him/Her, planted in the earth around us for us all to see evidence of Him/Her and His/Her will for us.

Most of us have moved so far away from that in our society. Our religions have taught us that only what is in the books supported by the churches is wisdom. I believe the wisdom in those books was always only meant to illuminate the wisdom that nature shows us, to help us understand what is right in front of our faces if we choose to be in nature at all. I don’t believe that the original intent for any of those books that the churches support was for them to alienate us from the wisdom that is plainly abundant all around us.

This card today speaks to me of a calling. Of Sacred Spirit calling us to remember the ancient wisdoms that the earth and her residents, and the sky and her stars, can teach us. To incorporate those wisdoms into out lives as well. To be aware of all the abundance of wisdom He has planted around us, if we just choose to open our eyes to it.

Eight of Wands

Today we are being reminded that it is up to us to release our dreams to the Universe with a childlike trust, and then watch as the Universe pulls things together for us. Spirit has an amazing way of bringing things to pass, even when it looks like the most impossible dream that we can have.

This is not to say that we shouldn’t take any action after releasing our dreams, but to do what feels right and appropriate and let the rest fall into place. The universe, or Sacred Spirit, doesn’t have to work hard to make things happen. Only we think that things have to be hard because that’s what we have been told all of our lives. Maybe it’s time to let that old outdated idea go.

Six of Swords Reversed

Todays Tarot card shows us going through a transition either physically or in another way. Maybe there are changes at work, or a shifting of energies in the home or a group we are involved in. This transition is a positive move forward, however not without it’s challenges. For some of us, we will need to clear up some things from the past to be able to keep the transition moving forward. For others of us, we will simply have to come into a mind space where we are seeing the positive and not resisting the transition as this makes things much harder than they need to be, not only for ourselves, but also for everyone involved.

Eight of Swords

Sometimes it’s the inner life negativity that causes our outer circumstances to be less than what we want.

Sometimes we pen ourselves in with doubts and fears, sometimes we injure ourselves with anger and grudges, not that we harbor against others, but that we harbor against ourselves. We make a mistake and so we hold it against ourselves. Maybe some of us are fighting an addiction and we lost the fight for one evening. Maybe we just decided not to sink to someone elses level around us, and yet we slipped and let ourselves be provoked and did it anyway.

Today it is being emphasized to us that it is very important to not hold ourselves back like that. Today is a day when Spirit is showing us that best thing we can do is to be compassionate to ourselves. To acknowledge the mistake, to learn what we can from it, and to look upward. To look towards those things that bring us light and happiness. To look towards where we want to be and who we want to be. To focus on the light. To find the parts of us that we like. To acknowledge them. Gratitude is important. Gratitude about who we are and what we have done is key to having the life we were born to have.

Even when we seem completely penned in and trapped by thorny things, we have to start somewhere to see the light and pull out of that mess. What has been holding you back? What has made you feel penned in? What can you be grateful for in your life about who you are and what you have done in your life so far?

Peace,

Amista
