Questions for September 21st thru 24th – Harvesting What You Put Energy Into

Dionysian Mysteries Oracle Reading with the Urban Crow Oracle

Friendship and Community – What friendships or communities can help you in your spiritual development?

Isolation – At least for the time being, friendships and community are not the answer when it comes to your spiritual development. You need solitary time and isolation to allow for inner reflection and processing.

Sexual Energy – How can you balance your sexual energy…

Play – Time having fun with Gideon is key. Play and enjoy your time together.

…and express it in a healthy way?

Warning stop Ghosts – Remember a couple of years ago when you opened up to your mediumship ability too close to Samhain and those that visited tried to drag you into a pit of depression? Don’t let that happen again. Ground yourself in the living… in Gideon and what you two have.

The Inner Self – What did you discover about yourself during this challenge?

Soar atop Survival – You explored and re-discovered about yourself that you are a survivor and will rise above those things that challenge you.

What else should you explore?

Exposed – Your vulnerability.

The Daze – What forms of ecstasy can you find outside of traditional means?

Caching – Enjoy your collections. Take pleasure in them and how they make you feel. You’re a dragon at heart, after all.

Questions for September 17th thru 20th – Harvesting What You Put Energy Into

Dionysian Mysteries Lenormand Reading with the Taisho Roman Lenormand

Confidence in the Unknown – How can you have more confidence in the journey ahead?

Stork and Child – Remember that good things are coming, and embrace them with playful eagerness and an open heart. You can’t close yourself off to the good stuff and still expect to grow and become more confident.  Instead, you need to not just embrace it, but have fun with it.

The Loot – What can you collect or reap in your life right now?

Bear and Coffin – Look for the boon in loss. You may have lost a good chunk of your independence over the last few months while dealing with caring for an elder, but you’ve also lost that constant ache for a mother figure that you’ve carried with you all your life.

Spiritual Unity – How can you integrate your spiritual side into your daily life?

Letter and Dog – Commit to your writing and stay true to that effort instead of forsaking it. Not just in your readings and writing out the responses and interpretations to the cards you pull, but also in your entertainment with Gideon where you are allowing your energy to flow freely between the two of you and “loosening up” that ability to exchange with others that you sometimes keep too tight a grip on.

The Journey – What inner-like journey awaits you?

Clouds and Stars – Finding hope in times of emotional uncertainty.

What is the goal?

House and Tree – To develop a healthy new balance of comfort and stability. A lot has changed in your life this year, and on that journey of seeking out light in the darkness of confusion, you need to keep in mind that the end goal is stability and comfort.  Deep roots.

September 16

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Queen of Swords – “Your struggle is not an indication of failure”, it is a valuable learning experience to help you guide others later on down the road. When you experience hardships, you are better able to help others through their own.  This is not you failing, but rather it is you becoming a stronger, better, more understanding human being. Without struggle and hardship there can be no growth, and without growth you cannot help others from a stable place of trust and understanding.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Five of Wands – I don’t see a lot of conflict in this particular Five of Wands (which is usually what the Five of Wands is all about), but what I do see is a determination to stand up  for what you believe in, even if it means being solitary in your endeavors.  Today’s cards are a reminder that not everything can be a group effort, and it’s not the end of the world if you and those important to you aren’t copacetic on every aspect of life.  Variety is just as important as common ground, so don’t write off friendships or family just because they believe differently than you do.  Instead, hold your own beliefs close, and accept that they do the same for theirs.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Listen to Gideon.

Praise from Gideon

Nine of Pentacles – Take stock of all that you’ve done and how hard you’ve worked. Look at what you’ve accomplished. Don’t spend so much time focusing on what you didn’t manage to do and what still needs to be done that you miss out on praising yourself for the monumental amount of stuff you have.

Mercury Retrograde Is Over! Oracle Reading

Escaping Mercury Retrograde Oracle Reading with The Revolving Time Oracle

Forgive yourself for mistakes made, you are only human.

Time is Hidden atop Time to Charge Forward – There has been enough time for things to heal and now is time to begin pushing for recovery. Don’t allow for any lingering in laziness as has been tried a time or two so far and you have allowed through your hovering. It’s time to show her what she is capable of.

Celebrate what you’ve accomplished, no matter how small.

Integrity – You have stuck to your guns and stayed true to who you are even during the most trying of circumstances. There have been plenty of times over the past couple of months when the temptation to step away from your values has been something lingering in your mind, and yet you continue to stay true to yourself.

Forgive yourself for not completing everything you wanted to.

Time is Dependent On Another Factor – You have had a lot more than you’ve ever tackled before on your plate. Some things had to give to make everything else work. This isn’t failure, but prioritizing, and nothing to beat yourself up over.

Rejoice in knowing that communications will go back to normal.

Don’t Miss the Opportunity When the Time Comes – You don’t need to continue to hold your tongue on things that need a touch of persuasion. You noticed when you stopped being able to sway things your way with your words. Now that Mercury Rx is over, that ability to be persuasive will begin return once more.

Energy will begin to flow more freely and clarity will return. This is an excellent time to set some new goals.

Breathe – Meditation is a practice, which means that it needs regularity. Make it a priority to do daily, even when you aren’t feeling enthusiastic about it.

Stop Wasting Time – Get going on the holiday rush prep that needs to be done. The more prepared you are, the easier things will go once the rush starts.

Aquarius Season – Look forward to the end of the holiday season, and see that time that’s coming as a goal to get you through the rough parts to come in the next few months.

Mabon Oracle Reading with the Seasons of the Witch Mabon Oracle

Amber: Emotion / Balance – Where do I need to work on my emotions to create more balance in my life?

Grieving – Work on letting go instead of trying to hold on to those things that are long passed. You can’t move in to embracing something new and good until you let go of what is dead and gone.

Cedar: Fortitude / Protection – How can I use my present day fortitude to strengthen my future protection?

Mead and Wine – You have spent a long time building up you ability to turn your focus from negativity and pessimism to positivity and optimism. This skill is needed to help protect yourself from the struggles yet to come that you will go through and keep yourself afloat and out of depression’s grasp.

Marigold: Health / Happiness – Where should I focus on my health in order to develop a happier outlook?

Molasses – Patience and intention are needed. You can’t force things or rush, and pushing yourself will only make things worse. Instead, make sure that you are going slow and keeping your eye on the prize.

Lapis Lazuli: Self Awareness / Truth – What hidden truths can self-awareness bring to light in my life?

Scarecrow – Your guides are with you even when you feel as if you are all alone. You have support at your fingertips no matter what you are doing or how much you are struggling.

Walnut: Discernment / Friendship – How can I be more discerning in picking positive friendships?

Queen of the Dead – Look for those in your life that stir the fire within you and spark your inspiration, rather than those that create a sense of comfortable mellow energy in your life. You need that spark, and those mellow people just try to get you to embrace stagnancy.

Sapphire: Wisdom / Thought – How can I best discern between logical thought and true wisdom?

Elderberries – True wisdom often speaks through the voice of your intuition, whereas logical thought comes from the mind.

Yarrow: Trauma / Healing – How can I move from a place of trauma into a place of healing?

Apple of My Eye – Look deeper. Avoid taking things (and people) at face value. It’s when you dig for the truth that you are able to truly begin to process and heal.

September 13

Five of Wands – There are always going to be conflicts in the process of working together with others. We all have separate opinions, methods, and techniques that we feel are better than the rest. Just make sure that you don’t allow others to bully you into feeling like you’re not doing enough. If they want more done than you’re ready to deal with? Tell them to do it themselves instead of butting heads with them about it.

Today’s meditation was nine minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

The High Priestess – “Your speed doesn’t matter, forward is forward”, and sometimes? Your progress is being made out of your view and without you being aware of it.  Just because it feels like you’re going at a snail’s pace doesn’t mean things aren’t happening, only that things are happening that you’re not aware of at the time. Have patience, and allow things to develop at their own pace.  You’ll become aware of that which is hidden from you eventually when the time is right.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Ace of Cups – Don’t allow your emotions to run away with you and cause you to feel that things are worse of than they are or that you are worse off than you really are. Life has proven to you again and again that you are stronger than you believe yourself to be and will weather the storms that roll through just fine.  Adapt and be flexible instead of standing rigid against the wind.
