It has been quite some time since I have blogged, almost all summer - and yes, it has been that busy! Lots of great tarot stuff though!
Did some reading at Eclectic by Nature, 2 psychic fairs and also some private readings in the store. The psychic fairs were great, we had a lot of fun. Thanks to those of you who were kind enough to share your lives and secrets with me, hopefully I was able to help with some enlightenment or comfort.
I also met some new people this summer who are really amazing. I got in touch with a group of people studying intuition and angels in Winston Salem. Now, those of you who know me are saying.. angels Maris? really? Um - that would be a very loud and resounding YES!! I highly encourage anyone reading this to speak to your angels frequently, as they seem to be rather receptive and are just waiting for us to ask for their help. We had an amazing experience with this over the summer, and I will send my heartfelt thanks publicly to all the angels I spoke to who helped us in our time of confusion and need this summer. They most definitely showed up.
But this group of people are teaching me a lot, and I have found my inspiration again. I was really getting discouraged that I may have truly lost it after leaving Las Vegas, and it was getting to the point of depressing. However, I have really met a lot of like-minded people in this group who share my passion and interests, who are wonderfully gifted and through this I am learning a lot from them.
We are planning to collaborate a bit, which is really exciting to me. They, as well, are interested in learning about tarot, and I am interested in learning more about tapping into my intuition. Both go together really, really well. So in addition to studying intuition and angels with them, we are also going to be studying beginning tarot as well together. I am really excited about this, I think this will be awesome!
In all the chaos around here, I really have not gotten to do much reading this summer. Last week was the first time I have read for myself all summer:
What I have: King of Swords reversed
What I need to know: 3 of pentacles
What I get: 4 of cups
Im not sure what the king of swords is about - maybe my thoughts being all jumbled up and scattered and fragmented? It also talks about rigidity and discipline, having high standards as a parent, being critical and demanding as a spouse but intelligent and honest. Ok, i can see that. I have definitely been on Eric's case over the last 2 or 3 weeks big time in regard to the job and career thing. I also have some pretty high standards for my daughter. She did end up being able to board at school this year, and I have reiterated my expectations in that regard to her, as I cannot afford private school if she is not going to be serious.
The 3 of pentacles talks about collaboration and materialization of sacred. Creating things of value. Mary Greer also mentions serving or receiving a summons. So over the week i have been collaborating with Brad, my friend from WS, to work on tarot as well as intuition. I also received a summons, as Blysse's father has finally, finally been served court papers regarding his contempt of court for not supporting Blysse.
The 4 of cups discusses needing some grounding or quiet time. Maybe ignoring gifts which are being offered right in front of you. Hmmmm
This week's cards:
1. 4 of pentacles reversed
2. Hermit
3. 5 of pentacles reversed
So I think the 4 of pentacles reversed refers to my work situation. Ive not had a great week at work between last week and this one. Ive made some very stupid errors and there may be some serious issues coming up in this regard. My reactions in this regard tend to be extreme - sometimes very defensive like today, usually I am fearful and stressed as I cannot afford to lose my job. It definitely blocks me and hangs me up..
The hermit talks about a guide or mentor - furthering my education, which I am doing.. UNCG started last week and I have been crazy with homework and trying to find classes and need to write a paper on my goals, and i need to apply to my major college. I am also seeking spiritual education as well as offering it.
I hope the reversal of the 5 of pentacles is referring to the stress of my job and working easing up and not instead intensifying the 5. I could use the stress to ease up and break.. we shall see.
