Hi everyone, holy macaroni! What a week!
A lot of shifts and shakings happening and the cards for this week reflect that. As I said last week I will send the summary first, and the detailed explanations after. If all you have time for right now is the summary, great stuff, but I would recommend you read the detail when you do have a moment – there is lots of juicy stuff there 😊.
Every moment of chaos leads to a period of harmony, every upset creates a new understanding. Hang on tight or maybe, just maybe, let go, stop fighting and desperately holding on to ideas, thoughts, feelings, people and situations that no longer serve you, regardless of how “noble” they are, and just go with it, without judgement. Who knows where this may end up!!
The shifts that are happening now are helping to shake loose the truth. The actual truth, not the “truth” spread by our religions, organisations, activist groups, families etc. These “truths” are very often hidden behind veils of compassion, being a good person, honour and other “noble” concepts, but if you scratch the surface, they cover a very dark, dank and terrifying reality.
It is time to challenge every belief and value we have, explore and consider which have been distracting and destroying us, and decide if we want to hold onto them or not.
The cards this week are very clear and although seemingly frightening, give some excellent guidance to surviving the storm so to speak. It may not be comfortable, in fact it will probably be very uncomfortable, even painful, but go with it.
Firstly, we have the Angels of the Four Directions guiding and supporting us this week. Bringing their energy of clear insight, strength, communication and inspiration. When all hell breaks loose, take a breath and focus on the best you can be right now. Focus on the energy of the angels, or whatever you connect to, and do it. It may be different from the best you have been or could be, but that is ok.
There are many challenges and obstacles to face right now, both in the world, our belief and trust in humanity, the people around us, and ourselves. The cards this week speak very clearly about examining every belief and truth we have about ourselves and the world. Are we being “good” people or whole people – to misquote Carl Jung. Are we expressing the real truth within us, or the truth we want the world to see and believe, the mask we wear to be accepted.
The mask based on the truth dictated by the doctrines and admonitions of the gurus of our existence, be they political leaders, actors, teachers, parents or whoever. While we all need to be guided and grow our knowledge, it is important not to follow anyone or anything blindly, to question things that feel off or don’t resonate with us. Understanding also that sometimes the resonance we feel is not the resonance we need. This is what the biblical admonition against idol worship is about – when you make someone or something an “idol”, don’t question them, don’t look deeper into their actions and just blindly follow what everyone else is saying and doing, you lose your truth and lose yourself. It may also be that your path only needs a bit of their wisdom, not all of it – that is ok. It is your path. You can disagree with someone and learn from them too.
We are trained from an early age to seek approval and acceptance, but we tend to do this by seeking external approval, approval from outside of our selves. This is how narcissists are created. The only approval you need is from yourself, and you can’t hide from yourself. You know the truth of your actions even if you hide them from others. That is where you need to look, not if someone you respect agrees with you, but if you agree with you. Be honest with yourself though, when it is true it will feel good, if it feels off – dig deeper.
Remember how wonderful you really are. Behind all our self-doubt, belief we are not good enough etc, you are a spark of the divine creator having a physical experience – never forget that, but at the same time remember we are also having a physical experience, so have it. Stop floating among the clouds of fantasy and take the real physical life we have and embrace and accept that too.
Be grateful for what you do have, and focus on that, not on what you don’t have or wish you had, things that will make you better – you know that expression – “my life/the world will be better when … fill in the blank”. By focussing on what is working in our lives – there are things working – look for them – will not only make you feel better right now but energetically draw more of that. You cannot manifest from a negative base. In other words, you can’t focus on not being poor, the energy is on being poor, and you will get more of that. Focus rather on being financially stable and being happy and grateful you have what you do have, and you will get more of that.
Once you shift your perspective from worry and pain, you drop the baggage and you can fly and express your truth openly and without fear. Forgive those that hurt you, forgive yourself for hurting others. Guilt is the most useless emotion in the world – you messed up – so – pretend you are Britney Spears – “oops I did it again” and make choices that will change the incoming manifestation.
We cannot fail, we only produce unexpected results. Accept them, learn and grow from them, and make different choices. Life really is that simple!!
Have a blessed week – hug someone you disagree with and tell them you respect them and mean it – it will make you both feel better!!
Card by card explanation
The Quantum Oracle: Angels of the Four Directions
Uriel, Raphael, Michael & Gabriel.
Nice one to start with even if you not into angels – remember angels, gods, goddesses etc are symbols and energy signatures, when you are at a loss or need a specific energy boost, the symbols help you to connect to that energy and bolster yourself, give you inspiration, and often comfort. Powerful connections are happening at this time, they can be experienced as “energy downloads”, bursts of inspiration, etc. each person will have their own experience of this energy.
Uriel – the angel of the North brings strong and valuable inspiration and can connect to universal wisdom and akashic information, helping you to find your way in what you may think is impenetrable darkness. He will challenge your strongly held beliefs and judgments, challenging you to look at things differently.
Raphael – the angel of the East brings love, healing and support particularly in the aspect of relationships. Every person we interact with is in a relationship with us, and we them. It may be fleeting, it may not be, but this reality creates existence through relationship, without relationship we do not exist. Are the relationships you are holding onto valuable and mutually beneficial, or draining and destructive?
Michael – the angel of the south brings strength and stability. Are you feeling powerless and afraid, insecure and unsure of the next steps? Michael can help with this. He reminds us that we are strong and capable. Nothing just happens, everything in our experience reflects our perceptions and experiences of ourselves. Michael will help you to face the challenges you are facing, remind you that even if you have been holding onto beliefs and values that no longer serve you, you can release them and be ok, even better than you are now maybe?
Gabriel – the angel of the West brings clear information and communication; he can also help us with our self-talk and inner dialogue. There is a lot of misdirection, false information, and blatant manipulation in the world, it has been getting worse and more confusing for many years, so much so we are very often not even aware of it. Gabriel can help you find you truth in all of this, find the information you need for your next step.
Psychic Tarot: Obstacles & Challenges
Five of Spirit: Fives are always about personal power in some form or other. Challenges and obstacles may seem impossible when you are facing them, but after the fact not so much so. This is a difficult time, there is no doubt, but it is necessary and important, some may say one of the most important times in recorded history.
This card challenges us to see the bigger picture, take a step back and re-evaluate everything we hold dear. Try not to get caught up in the fear, panic and confusion, stop playing the victim, stop playing messiah and trying to save the world!
Each time we are challenged it leads us into a greater version of our being, every trauma and challenge, every victory and joy has combined to create who you are right now. Without one of those experiences, you would be a different person. This may show up differently for each person, and we can not compare our pain with the pain of others, pain is experienced differently for each of us, and breaking a nail can be just as traumatic for one person as being stabbed is for another. Ok maybe an exaggeration but you get the point right?
This card reminds us that our challenges and choices are ours and ours alone. Take a step back and really ask yourself if the choices you are making are yours or dictated by outside forces, by your religion, by your family, by your friends. Are they choices that work for you?
The St Jinx Arcana: The Hierophant (Pope)
Conformity, institutional, spiritual knowledge, religious doctrine, hypocrisy, lies, clouded and concealed tactics, cruel dominance, extreme dogma and zealotry.
The Hierophant represents the manifestation of spiritual knowledge in physical reality. The thing here is that spirit is not physical, and physical is not spirit, they balance and support each other, sure, but they are not the same energy. So, forcing spiritual truth into a physical “box” never works well, and often becomes dominance and cruelty. This is what has happened in our world and has resulted in spirit doing a “shake-up”.
If you look at the imagery, the hierophant is blindfolded, the traditional card does not have the blindfold but still has the sense of the hierophant staring blankly over the heads of his supplicants. This gives him a sense of superiority and arrogance. He is totally oblivious to the supplicants and focuses purely on his “otherworldly” vision. The supplicants bask in his glory and approval, while fading into shadows of themselves.
This card perfectly epitomises the world we have lived in for so long, where the “morally superior” hold court and judge others who do not believe as they do as dark, evil, and deserving of destruction, while they bask in the “glory of righteousness”.
For example, think of the “cancel culture” movement. The “Karen’s of Covid” etc. They can not allow thoughts that do not match their own to be shared or discussed, because in that sharing and discussion, their flaws and weaknesses are made visible and that CAN NOT BE ALLOWED because they are the righteous ones, they are the knowledgeable ones, they are the saviours – how dare you question them! Narcissistic much!!!
You may think I am only talking about religion or spirituality here, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. It also includes personal judgments – if you see anyone or anything as better, or worse than you are, you are judging and being the hierophant. If you shout people down and do not allow them to share different views with you, you are being the Hierophant, if you refuse to look at all sides of the story, those you agree with and those you don’t, as equally valid and maybe expand your awareness of the situation, you are being a Hierophant, if you expect unquestioning loyalty to your beliefs and knowledge, you are being the Hierophant.
Don’t get caught in the justification/explanation of your actions either. Simple example – let’s use the commandment “Thou shalt not kill”. So, is killings animals killing? Yes, it is.
Vegans, don’t get an “I told you so” expression on your faces, plants are alive too, so eating plants is killing them too. The justifications are mind-blowing. “I only eat plants because they are abundant, if you take the seeds from the plant they can be regrown”, “plants don’t have thoughts and emotions” (actually factually incorrect too) and many, many other expressions that become more and more insane as the argument progresses.
Every living being kills to survive, whether we do it by our own hands or the hands of others. Whether we are killing animals, plants, air molecules and small animals and insects that live in the air or anything else. So dogmatically we are all cosmically screwed just by being alive and staying alive.
Clearly the admonition not to kill meant something more right? But the dogma and “bleeding heart” compassion has taken the spiritual concept, squeezed it literally into the physical realm where it doesn’t fit and created a doctrine that many people follow blindly, often destroying their own lives in the process, but hey they died being a “good, righteous person”, so it is all good, right?
The Hierophant today is coming to tell you, you need to look at your beliefs and actions. How much of your time and energy is spent “teaching righteousness” in your field or experience, how much of your time and energy is spent in judging others as right or wrong, worthy or unworthy? How much of your time and energy is used doing good deeds and destroying your own livelihood, friendships, joy and physical experience, hoping to please an invisible, unknowable entity and be rewarded after death in a space, the only evidence of which is the writings, dreams and visions of “holy” men and women that are “so much more spiritually aware” than we are and know exactly how to make sure we get there. The fact that it also provides an income and many other benefits for them is of course totally irrelevant and beside the point.
Maybe you need to rethink that?
The Teachings of Abraham Well-being Cards
How wonderful I am!
Oh mother, does this not go against everything we have been taught makes a good person!!
You are a spark of the divine soul, an aspect of the creator having an experience in physical reality. As I said earlier, the physical reality has very different parameters than the spiritual one, and we literally stand with a foot in each reality. We can not mould the physical into the spiritual, just as we cannot mould the spiritual into the physical. They do however complement each other. Understanding that there is a bigger picture can help us get through the hard times, and physically actioning things can help us feel the power of spiritual creation. It is a balance not a merging.
You came here worthy and deserving of every joy and passion you have; in the exact form and expression you are. Find your truth within that and make sure you haven’t been infected by other people’s view of who you are, or who you should be, or perceptions of how changing the essence of your physicality will change the pain of your existence – it won’t.
You are a spark of the divine, perfect exactly as you are – be that! Make sure it is the divine you are accessing though and not your ego – simple test. If it separates it is ego, if it brings together it is spirit. Simple hey?
Psychic Tarot of the Heart: Spread your wings
A perfect ending to this “wisdomcast”, be who you are right now, in the most truth you can muster. The truth does not need acknowledgement, medication, surgery, tons of money or anything else, it just is. In every situation, in every belief, in every mind-set.
The truth, your truth only needs acceptance, and love. Love for who you are, love for others for who they are, acceptance of your reality and a choice to be the most loving person you can be to yourself and to others who your share your journey with.
Quick note here: Truly loving someone does not mean you accept their behaviour, it does not mean they can abuse you, it does not mean you have to stay in a painful situation. What it does mean is that you love and respect yourself first. Listen to people who disagree with you, really hear what they are saying, maybe they do have a point. Don’t judge them for it and don’t take on their judgement of you either, but you don’t need to invite them for tea if you don’t want to.
Forgive them and let them go. I had an experience with a very dear friend this week, and we vehemently disagreed with each other, and he was the adult, not me when he said, “our friendship is more valuable than this argument, lets agree to disagree and keep that friendship rather than continue this conversation”. And we did – thank you for that – you know who you are 😊. Love you lotsness!!!
We can value and respect people who we disagree with, discussions can grow both of us and expand both our horizons, but when our emotions and ego (The Hierophant) gets involved, when we have to be right regardless of the cost, things can get ugly very fast!!
Leo Buscaglia had a brilliant thing he did if he saw he wasn’t getting through to people, Wayne Dyer also mentions something similar. Just look at them and say “you know, you may be right, I didn’t think about it that way” and leave it at that. It costs you nothing except your arrogance.
Leo’s comment for the thought after that was, “… and isn’t it going to be fun to watch, when they realise they are wrong!” – now that really speaks to the bitch in me!!
Thank you for reading the “whole spiel” I hope it helps and gives some food for thought – feel free to ask me to elaborate on something if you want me to.
