Magickal Monday - Birthday Eve

Image
Magickal Monday Tomorrow is my birthday. So the spread I am doing for this week is the Birthday Spread, which I found on Pinterest. 1. Last Year: IV of Wands - Stability. Strong Foundations. Marriage. Domestic life. Peace. Prosperity. Romance.  2. Let go of This: Knight of Cups *Reversed* - Deceptive person. Falsehood. A scam. Feeling Stuck. Allowing yourself/ feeling like you are being pushed in a direction you do not want to go.  3. Gift: IV of Pentacles - Selfishness. Putting material gain over all else. Control over your own life.  4. Embrace This: Ace of Pentacles - Perfection. Balance of material and spiritual realms. Prosperity. Having the will to succeed. Manifestation. New financial opportunity.  5. Next Year: IV of Swords *Reversed* - Renewed vigor. A return to daily life and events. Activity.  A lot of this lines up with my current plans, and goals for the next couple of months. I will take it. Hopefully this means a new job is heading

Magickal Monday - The Mind Blind Witch

Image
Magickal Monday This weeks three card spread is the Build a Bridge Spread from rowantarot.blogspot.com as found on Pinterest.  1. What is your current situation? - XII The Hanged Man - Feeling trapped. Confined. Self-limiting. Uncertainty. Lack of Direction. Indecision. Needing release. Letting go. Take a chance, and make things happen.  2. What do you really want? - Queen of Swords - Quick thinker. Organized. Perceptive. Independent. Highly Intelligent.  3. What is the best strategy to get you there? - Two of Wands - Creative use of energy. Bringing together ideas. Focusing on a single objective. Working together for a common goal. Unifying forces.  This makes sense to me. I am indecisive and pretty resistant to change. I want to be a person who can make smart quick decisions. To get there I need to use what is good about both these sides of me, and combine them to reach my goals.  Thoughts:  So...several months ago an online friend (Danni)

Written Words Wednesday - The return

Image
      Part of my reinvention of my blog is the resurrection of Written Words Wednesday. I do not know if this will have a specific form, or if it will end up being more fluid, but I am committing to bring it back.        Some things about me: I am an admitted bibliophile; I love the smell, sight, and feel of books. I am currently working on my B.A. in English/ Creative Writing with a specialization in Non-fiction. Some of my favorite authors are: William Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Christopher Moore, Charles deLint, and so many more. I have never read a Jane Austen book, anything by a Bronte or any book of that style clear through, and I think that Wurthering Heights is impossible to read because all of the characters are unlikable. Now that you know a little bit about me let's explore some books.        Throughout written and oral history you will find tales of the Tricksters; those Gods who inspire chaos wherever they go. Tricksters are not

Magickal Monday - New Moon Magic

Image
Magical Monday       The past week was challenging and this week is also going to be challenging. Because of this I am going to use the Listen to Your Intuition Spread from arcanemysteries.tumblr.com.  1. What is my inner voice trying to tell me about this situation? 10 of Wands - Oppression. Having a burden to bear, but being able to handle it. Overwhelming stress.  2. Why is my inner voice telling me this? 0 The Fool - The beginning of a journey. New beginnings. A fresh start. A decision regarding your career will be made soon.  3. How can I put this suggestion into action? V The Heirophant - Divine Inspiration. Big Business. Listen to advice, or to a mentor. Listen to your higher self, act in your own self-interest.  Thoughts:        This week is the last for several of my coworkers, the result of a layoff from several months ago. Then today another couple of people in an adjoining area were also RIF-ed. So now, a situation that was stressful,

Things the Vampire Said - A Dream Recollection

Image
       Several years ago I had a very vivid dream. In the dream I was the daytime face of a vampire. I would take care of his business that was not possible to handle at night, and set up appointments for him, etc. The feeling of the dream was that I had been in his employment for many years, so when he came to me to tell me that we had to move to Pittsburgh it was just a given that I would move my family to continue my employment.        I was incredibly reluctant to tell my husband that we were going to have to sell the house, and relocate, so I just kept putting it off. Every time I would begin the conversation something would happen, or it would seem like the wrong time.        Suddenly it was about a week before we were going to be making the official move, and the vampire confronts me to see whether I had let my husband know what was happening, and gotten our house sold, etc. I admit that no, I haven't. The vampire looked me straight in the eye at that point and said, &quo

Magickal Monday - Let's take it back a step

Image
Magickal Monday           I have decided to back up a little to simplify my Magickal Monday posts. I am going to take it back to a simple spread using whichever deck takes my fancy that day. I may change up spreads depending on my mood as well. Then I will share what is going on with me magickally and anything I found in the past week that makes me happy. Sound good? I hope so, because I am doing it. So, here we go...  Weekly Spread 3 Card - Head, Heart, Spirit Head - 7 of Cups: Using your imagination. Daydreaming. Living in fantasies. Take warning though, not to get lost in your own world. Don't just think, Act!  Heart - 0 The Fool: The beginning of an adventure. Potential. Taking a chance. Risk. Abandon fear and grab life by the horns.  Spirit - X Wheel of Fortune: Fortune. Chance. Unplanned events. Fate, Destiny. Good Luck. Reaching a turning point.  Well, that is a pretty promising outlook for the week. I will think upon this and move forward. The
