Sidestepping Negativity

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Celestial Botanical OracleToday’s draw is Okra. Being an oracle instead of a tarot, there is no “traditional meaning” for this card. That said, metaphysically speaking, the Okra plant is a representation of clearing out and/or avoiding the negative, slipping past those things that might hurt or harm, and shedding unhealthy connections.

The herb in this card is about near misses and avoiding negative influences in one’s life.  The words on the card “awaken your magical powers” speak of a need to get more in touch with the magic within you.

Together, the cards are an encouragement.  They are a reminder that instilling magic into your daily life is something that is supposed to improve your life and lift you up.  If it’s not doing that?  It’s time to look at why it’s not doing that, and make some course corrections.

#DiscordTarotholicsJan2022 Challenge Prompt
Question
s for January 21st and 22nd

Celestial Botanical OracleWhat is something that you miss that you can bring back into your life?

Oak and Wisteria – Trying new things with your creative energy. A good long while ago, you accepted that in order to juggle your responsibilities with your self care, some things have to be put on the back burner. That included the chase after every little inspired idea that comes along.

These cards indicate that now is a good time to begin resurfacing your creative spark and enthusiasm for new projects.  This doesn’t mean you will be able to chase after every little thing that strikes your fancy.  But, it means that you can begin to be open to these ideas again… just pick and choose instead of going after every single one of them indiscriminately.

What in your life needs started now for it to be ready when you need it?

Willow and Witch Hazel – Lean deeply into your magical, spiritual, and divinatory knowledge.  Share it with others.  You have a lot of knowledge under your belt, a lot of experience and strong connection to the energies and entities surrounding these pursuits. Pick them back up now that the holiday rush is over.  Don’t allow the rest of the year be polluted by that six week stretch.

The TV is HUNG!  It lives above the fireplace now.   And I ordered the cords and connectors I will need to make it perfect. It feels very satisfying to have it set up there.  Next step is to get the shelves and the backing.  In the mean time, I have some shuffling to do with furniture and things.
