Wisdom of Hafiz Oracle

The Potential For Beauty

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Okami Tarot - The TowerToday’s draw is the Tower card, which is traditionally a representation of sudden, chaotic change. The appearance of the Tower card indicates the need to tear down established structures so that something new can take its place.

In the imagery of the Tower in this deck, I very much see that “rebuilding” potential, for as the volcano explodes in the background, destroying the island in the process, it sends seeds and spoors into the air to be carried by the wind, giving the life that once lived on the island a chance to rebuild in fertile soil elsewhere.

Like most people, I struggle with this type of change. It’s not so much the change itself as it is the fact that it is sudden and chaotic.  There’s no chance to prepare.  You just have to hold on for the ride and let it play itself out, then pick up the pieces after.

The beauty in this card reminds me that that chaos is not the end. There are better things to come if I’m willing to let them grow from the ashes and do the work to rebuild in the aftermath.

What comes after could be beautiful.

The #STCTarotChallenge Statements of Power Prompt
Questions for June 22nd

Wisdom of Hafiz OracleI can now…

Bottom Left Cards – …begin to trust myself more and accept myself as a whole instead of in pieces. The prompts lately have allowed me to look at this theme in a different way, giving me a greater perspective to work with than the one I began with at the beginning of the month.

And this helps…

Top Right Cards – … life in feeling lighter and brighter, giving me a greater perspective of appreciation and gratitude.

Mr Lionhart’s #TheJuneTarot Spark of Magic Prompt
Questions for June 22nd thru 24th

Okami TarotHow can I best embody the manifestation of my Solstice intentions?

Five of Glaives (Swords) – Fight for them. Anything worth having is worth working for.

How am I asked to nurture, or tend to, my flame in support my Solstice plans?

Seven of Rosaries (Coins) – Be understanding with the fact that things take time. Immediate gratification may be satisfying, but those things that you work towards overtime and accomplish are worth a great deal more.

What should I keep in mind, or what can I do, if my flame grows weaker, or when my path meets resistance?

The Emperor – Seize control and stay focused. Claim your goals as yours and direct your resources towards them regardless. Be stubborn.

Where, or in what area, am I guided (by Lilith) to be (more) assertive or to be (more) independent?

Nine of Brushes (Wands) – Boundaries are extremely important. They give your life structure and create structure and a sense of stability for others in your life. Make sure that you are clear in the boundaries you set not just for others, but for yourself as well.

Daily Self Kindness

I’ve been working on getting some of the vacation orders done to make sure that I’m not overwhelmed tomorrow (which is orders day).

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

These Saturday readings are (not usually) bearing in on any one thing or event in my life, as the question used is asking for a more general outlook. This is a self care exercise, and is not meant as a predictive reading… although that, too, happens on occasion.

The question is… What do I need to focus for self-care through the week ahead?

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Crystal Tarot, Wisdom of Hafiz Oracle, Hilda Lenormand

Earth – Seven of Coins atop Four of Wands, Use Your Power – You won’t have much of a balcony garden left of you don’t get out there and take care of them. Take some time this week to get the rest of your garden tender to and planted.

Air – Eight of Coins and Take Stock of Your Achievements – Trust in what you know and what you’re good at. Don’t let doubts and negativity sweep in and steal away your well earned confidence away.

Water – Four of Swords and Receive Your Blessing – Get good rest while you can. Use this opportunity to shore up your strength. You are still in recovery and the better you feel physically, the better you’re going to feel emotionally as well.

Fire – Three of Wands and Practice Tenderness – As you plot your course forward and start moving again, keep your expectations low. Take care that you don’t overload yourself with more than you’re ready for this week.

Waning – Coffin and Rider – You’ve been sick, but this is on its way out. You need to make sure you’re focusing on doing the things you need to do to help this illness move on its way quickly.

Waxing – Tree and Stork – With recovery from your illness will come a sense of rebirth.  This renewal of energy and physical health is something you need to focus on encouraging this week.  Get back on track with those things that help you stay healthy.

Take Away – This week’s self care reading is all about guiding me out of my illness and through the recovery process.  It’s about taking things slow so that I don’t overwhelm myself, and keeping my expectations low so that I don’t over-pressure myself.
