Card of the Week: The Holy Mountain

Oracle Card of the Week
The Holy Mountain from the Mystical Shaman Oracle Card Deck.

I pulled The Holy Mountain from the Mystical Shaman Oracle Card Deck for the card of the week.

Mountains have been a symbol of power. In Greek mythology the 12 Gods and Goddesses resided on Mount Olympus. Pilgrims in Tibet circle ceremoniously around Mount Kailash in hopes of prosperity coming into their lives. The ice-capped Mount Ausangate in Peru is climbed to bring the starlight and fire down to the Earth.

This card depicts mountains with someone seated on the highest peak. They appear to be meditating. The sun is shining behind them and light is being drawn towards them.

This week take some time to retreat from the world to reflect. Go on your own pilgrimage. It could be as simple as talking a nature walk or sitting on the beach. Anywhere that you can be alone to quietly be with your thoughts and open to messages you may receive from your intuition, or your spirit guides. Meditate if you can. See the beauty, abundance, and potential around you. Commit to walk with love, compassion, and courage. Once you have received clarity, give thanks for the guidance you receive.

Card of the Week: Ace of Rods

Tarot Card of the Week
Ace of Rods from the Aquarian Tarot Deck.

The Aquarian Tarot is the deck that I pulled from for the card of the week. I drew the Ace of Rods.

This card depicts a healthy and strong flowering stem coming up with flowers blooming at the top, and two buds along the side of the stem that are starting to grow. Aces in Tarot represent new beginnings, and the suite of Rods (Wands) is about energy, creativity, passion, ambition, determination. Rods or Wands is associated with the element of fire.

This week is the time to start that project or implement that idea that has been a fire in your belly. You have the drive to do it, now create it! With focus, and enthusiasm, nothing can stop you.

Card of the Week: Seven of Swords / Ferret

Tarot Card of the Week
Seven of Swords / Ferret from Animal Totem Tarot.

This week’s card comes from Animal Totem Tarot. The card I drew was Seven of Swords / Ferret.

The ferret on this card appears to be hoarding swords, there are seven of them that he has “collected.” The ferret is from the weasel family, and can move easily, and stealthily, through tight places. This ability teaches us that stealth can be a form of protection, and also can be part of play. There may be a need to keep things hidden at times. But there is a difference from doing it to benefit ourselves, or to harm others.

This week, there may be a reason to hide the truth. Are you manifesting a new project, and in order for it to grow you need to keep the energy around it protected? Or, have you kept a secret hidden for too long now that it may not be harmless anymore?

Message from Ferret:

“We all have a sneaky side. It is a necessary skill for our survival. Whether you have to be the one who is sneaky, or be the one able to spot others in their sly ways, the art of deception is not to be taken for granted. Smoke, mirrors, and sleight of hand all have their place; the real trick is knowing when and where to use them.”
