Tarot of Loka

Pause to Reflect… Then Keep Going

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped, again in deference for sleep.  Blissful, wonderful sleep.

Tarot de Maria Celia and Thera-Pets Emotional Support Animal CardsToday’s draw is the Four of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of apathy and disconnecting from those trying to help, and can also indicate meditation, or a need to step back emotionally and reevaluate.

This card has stability to it, and retreat here is often centered around trying to find balance or shore up one’s emotional foundation.

Combined with the Thera-Pets card for today, what we see here is that it’s okay to take those moments now and then when they’re needed. Just don’t let what’s meant to be a pause to recoup turn into giving up and quitting.

Ouisi Game Cards and The Tarot of LokaWhat loving lesson can I take from August?
Queen of Air and Top Left cards

It’s okay to allow your emotions to intermingle with the logic. It assists you in communicating them more clearly instead of bottling them up until they eventually overflow in an unintelligible mess.

A blessing from the cards for September.
Four of Flame atop Two of Flame, Bottom Right Cards

Take September to untangle the knots and find calm and stability. You don’t have to start moving forward yet but you do need to start making plans. Enjoy the peace and stability you have at home for just a little while longer, and use it to work out any kinks and calm any frayed edges.

Lighting the Way Oracle and Tarot de Maria CeliaWhat lesson am I meant to learn in this lifetime?
Crystal Ball atop Direction, Four of Swords

Taking your time to rest and reflect on your experiences will not get in the way of moving in the direction you need to go in. Just use your intuition to guide you, stay open to messages from your guides, and the rest will take care of itself.

What fear do you want me to release?
The Crow atop Cupid, Ace of Cups

There’s nothing in this world or the next that can take away the love of Gideon feels for you. Your soul is connected to his through one lifetime to the next, and I love you share remains perpetually fresh and endless.

I spent the evening with Gideon.  And I refused a request someone had for me to write a testimonial to their reading skills. I was worried my refusal wouldn’t go over well, but… I just didn’t feel comfortable doing it. It’s still to be seen if it ends up being an issue.

The Fertilizer

Today’s meditation was twelve minutes long and was the second installment of the Foundations II series on the Balance app. The meditation in this installment was about posture, and how your posture can enhance your meditation practice as well as influence you energy level and alertness both in meditation as well as throughout the day.

The Tarot of Loka and How to Be a Wildflower DeckToday’s draw is the Tower card, which is traditionally a representation of sudden unexpected change that often carries with it calamity and chaos. It is often the tearing down of something in order to make room for something else.

I personally had my own Tower card moment, recently. And I can honestly say that “Foraging for Beauty” in the moment? Was not easy.  IS not easy. Especially during the moment and when recovering from impact.

The thing is that sometimes when shit falls apart on you, it can be hard to see the good that can come from it. The message in today’s cards is to remember… all flowers bloom bigger and brighter with a bit of shit mixed into the soil.

Questions for August 14th and 15th

Personal Power Oracle 2nd Edition and Crystal Bones TarotWhat negative forces are you protecting me from?
I Am Determined atop I Am Forgiving, Five of Crystals

“I am protecting you from those people that you are too forgiving of, that are determined to do you harm by tapping into your energy and tearing you down.”

In earlier readings it was made clear that they are here to build me up and guide me into strength. It makes perfect sense that this would be what they are here to protect me from.

What beliefs do you want me to accept?
I Am Curious, Five of Bones atop Justice

All strife and butting of heads works itself out in the end. It’s okay to stand back out of the way and watch with avid curiosity, rather than stepping in all the time to get involved in order to help them find compromise and resolution.

The Tarot of LokaThere was once an old man that thought he was better than everyone else. A lifetime of people caving to his cruel tongue had turned him from a soured soul into someone rotten through to his very core. (Evil atop Ten of Air)

He had many people under him to do his bidding, and treated these people like tools for his use, instead of human beings. (The Magician)

Then one day a woman of pure heart caught his eye and he was overwhelmed with a need to claim her as his own. She was kind and gentle, supporting and sweet. These were qualities he could not resist, and he did everything he could to garner her favor and attention. (Queen of Water and Ten of Fire)

Unfortunately, a lifetime of cruelty and disregard for anything but his own whims and desires placed her out of his reach, and he was unable to claim what he now realized should have been his destiny.  A destiny that he’d selfishly squandered. (Judgement)
