Hi there
Hope you have had a good week so far, mine has been – interesting shall we say. Let’s see what our cards have for us today…
As a reminder, the reading focuses firstly on the individual interpretations of the cards, and then a summary at the end.
The bulk of the “wisdom” is in the individual descriptions, even if you just read the summary for now, make time to read the individual interpretations, it will definitely help understanding the full message.
The below is based on my knowledge, experience, and interpretation; feel free to disagree and question me, we both grow that way.
Card by card explanation
Central energy focus
The StJinx Arcana: Seven of Swords:
Confronting fraud and falsehood
Let’s look at the card imagery carefully. His face is pretty, almost angelic and innocent with a slight tilt to the side. The way he presents himself is open with nothing to hide, the dreamcatcher on his chest giving the illusion of openness too. He is openly carrying 5 swords and looks comfortable and even wealthy. His whole demeanour says you can trust him; he has nothing to hide.
BUT, look a little deeper and you notice his eyes are cold, and his mouth hard and tense. The card is the seven of swords, why are there only 5 swords clearly visible? His muscles are also tense, and his eyes are looking directly at you, for me there is a feeling a seeing through to your soul, unblinking.
There are layers of deception here, despite what is clearly being deliberately placed in view.
Look at the background, the 6th sword is quite easy to spot next to his right hip, the seventh almost blends completely into the background next to it. There are two shadowy figures in the background just above the hidden swords, that seem to be arguing about something, could he perhaps have stolen the swords and “framed” one or both of them?
Everything in the background (where he is coming from) is also all sharp angles and difficult to see clearly which makes his relaxed almost nonchalant body language incongruous with the rest of the card.
The sevens normally relate to spiritual, hidden aspects, swords relating to thoughts so the message here is to re-examine your thoughts and motives.
In walking away from things, have you maybe “thrown the baby out with the bath water”? No one guru, one religion, one perspective has all the answers, they all have an aspect of truth maybe, but not the whole truth.
Are you making blanket dismissals of things because one of the thoughts doesn’t gel? Or because at face-value it appears out of sync, look a little deeper.
Do you think he is aware of his deception, maybe he isn’t and is oblivious to the harm he is causing with his “good” intentions?
Sometimes we also do things in desperation, things we may not do otherwise, that cause pain and harm to ourselves and others.
Take responsibility for these actions, no the “devil” didn’t make you do it, the other person’s behaviour didn’t make you do it, you chose to do it. Perhaps in reaction to someone else. But you still made the choice to take the action, you bear full responsibility for that choice.
If you find yourself justifying your behaviour and blaming someone or something else then pay attention, what are denying responsibility for?
What is supporting this process, what processes can we use to help us here?
The Faerie’s Oracle – The Singer of Initiation: Passage through trial, Triumph, New level.
Another one of the Singers of the Realms, a primal energy of the Universe. Whose job it is to sing the underlying songs of the universe into our reality. They have been referred to by many names, through many religions and have been called angels, devas, gods, dakinis and many other names.
They don’t care what we call them, as long as we call on them. They are the Great Ones; they show us and the faery folk what we have the potential to ultimately become. They hold the vision of our current truth and our promised truth.
They guide us in the direction of our truth, and comfort us when we fall off the path. Their energy is pure unconditional love and compassion.
When we ask the Singers to help us, we will very often not get what we think we want, but rather what we need to be whole in whichever aspect they are focussing on for us. So, look for unexpected and exceptional, not the expected and boring.
The Singer of Initiation heralds a major shift in our experience, leading us to a new way of being, there are challenges that we must face and heal first though, we may think we are going through a period of “bad luck” or challenge, this is not true, these are the challenges that are preparing you to step through the gate to a new vision and experience of your existence.
Fighting them is not going to help, find your way through them in love and truth, remembering forgiveness for yourself and others in the process.
Stop fighting and resisting the process and challenges you need to face and allow yourself to move forward into a new experience.
The Quantum Oracle – Deserving: Your True Worthiness
Every being on the planet is deserving of a full, loving and joyful life, it is our programming and what we are taught that confuses us.
You may know in your mind that you are worthy of everything you desire, you may even have affirmations that you practice, but it isn’t your mind you have to convince, it is your heart.
You can say the “right” words over and over, but until you truly mean them and feel them in your heart, they will only have a limited effect if any effect at all.
This card reminds us to truly find in our essence the truth that we are creators and can create anything we want. That we deserve much more than we allow ourselves to receive.
Shift your focus to be truly ready to receive everything you desire, surrender the outcome and focus on feeling it, and open yourself to receive.
Know yourself to be deserving of love, wealth, joy and abundance, only then can you claim it.
How can we ground this learning into our experience and move forward?
The Enchanted Map Wide Open – You are free to express your uniqueness to the world and share in the bounty of life’s endless possibilities.
It is time to stop hiding in your corner being afraid of judgement and rejection.
We are all unique and all the same in that uniqueness, embrace it. All sorts of opportunities surround you, open yourself to receiving them, well maybe seeing them first would be good. Do that first maybe?
Sacred Geometry Oracle Deck: Merkaba : Star Tetrahedron
A few weeks ago, I called the hexagram the star tetrahedron by mistake, here we have the real star tetrahedron which is the three-dimensional version of the hexagram. See why I got confused – lol.
The Star Tetrahedron is the shape of the Merkaba field that surrounds our bodies. It is a vehicle of ascension and a move towards unity consciousness and awareness.
A tetrahedron is the three-dimensional version of the triangle. The star tetrahedron combines two tetrahedrons pointing in different directions and represents the perfect balance between masculine and feminine, good and evil, black and white, positive and negative.
The masculine tetrahedron points upward and forward and represents fire, light and blade, the feminine one points downward and backward representing the feminine energy, water, darkness and chalice.
In the star-tetrahedron, the two tetrahedrons spin in opposition to each other but in that spinning create a perfect sphere which creates the vehicle of ascension mentioned earlier.
By stepping out of judgement and justification, we embody the archetype of the statesman. Impersonal, fair, aware and honest.
Wednesday Wisdom is a free service, and you are welcome to share it if you wish, just please respect my work and share it in its entirety.
Summary
Our main focus this week is deception and exposing false paradigms withing ourselves. Maybe look again at things and people you may have turned away from, did you get the gift in the interaction, or did you throw the baby out with the bath water, dismissing the entire concept without exploring the aspects of the concept that related to your path.
Supported by the Singer of Initiation who reminds us that challenges are never punishments, but experiences designed to strengthen us and clarify our path, one of these challenges we need to face is our own belief in our own sense of Deserving what we ache for.
The supporting cards remind is that it is safe to expose our truth to the world and share our uniqueness as we use the star tetrahedron to balance the energies inside of ourselves and expand our awareness into the next experience of our process.
Have a fab week!!
The Desiderata
By Max Ehrmann ©1927
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
