Little MoneyUnexpected JoySweetheart

This is a draw that I had some time last week. I wrote them down in my card journal, and cracked a remark that it would take more than a Little Money to bring me Unexpected Joy! Lol

Well, I was totally wrong!!!!

A few days later, I bought a single ticket on the national lottery here, and was shocked to see that I had 4 out of the 6 numbers! It was only worth 79.00, but it had me grinning from ear to ear – I’m such a sucker :)

I missed 5 out of 6 by one digit which would have been worth a heck of alot more…oh well.

So the cards showed 2 or 3 days before, and I had forgotten about it until I actually realized I had won something.

I love these funny little cards :)

I’m back! hopefully for good this time :)

I have been disconnected from the WWW for a bit of time now, thanks to my laptop getting a nasty virus and needing to go into the shop. You might say, that my dear friend went down with the Flu! It’s so nice to have it back :)

While she was gone, I continued to do readings, and also have been listening to a wonderful audio course from the Tarot School on the Minor Arcana. I can’t recommend their work highly enough! I’ve been reading the tarot for most of my life, (with great success, I might add) but I found myself re-thinking the minor arcana in delightful ways after listening to this one course. My ‘time-out’ was well spent, as it has brought the tarot back into my enthusiastic focus, once more. After 20+ years, I am wanting to delve much deeper.

As I said, I’ve read the tarot very well for years, and I’ve known people who are amazing with the tarot without any formal training….totally using their psychic faculties; but I was surprised at all the little things I learnt, listening to this course! I wish I had found it years ago :)

In one session they were talking about the 9 of Swords. This is not a nice card, by any means. Most commonly it is regarded as someone who is caught up in their worries so deeply that they can’t let go. It’s being trapped in the ‘monkey mind’ and being ruled by it.

59

Another aspect of this card was brought to my attention though; it’s also the card of aggression, violence etc. There is a carving on the bed of the Rider Waite decks, that shows physical violence ( not very clearly here – sorry).

I also read a lot with the playing cards, and sometimes post them here. Recently, my husband drew these:

200px-Playing_card_club_4_svg_small200px-Playing_card_spade_9_svg_small200px-Playing_card_spade_A_svg_small1

The 4 of Clubs can mean a telephone call, so I thought he might receive a  call that caused him some worry. Since both the 9 and the Ace of Spades can lean that way, I knew I was missing something. News of a death?getting a phone call and hearing that someone is ill? what???

A few days later, I heard my husband take a call from a creditor that we owe money to. We’ve fallen behind on a few bills sadly, and it’s caused a great deal of stress.

This creditor wasn’t being nice, though….he was being very pushy and aggressive, so much so, that my husband hung up on him! It was hearing his end of the conversation, that the penny finally dropped for me.

The 9 of Spades was, in this case, referring to aggressive, bullying behavior – just as had been mentioned for the 9 of Swords in the audio course.

So the meaning of this draw came through within 2 days – a bullying, not-nice phone call that would cause worry (Ace of Spades)-

It was an awful experience – but I got a wonderful insight on this card! LOL

(*I sometimes think I live on another planet…. haha)

update: This draw also had a second level to it. My husband also received a telephone call from his daughter in England. She’s come down with a flu which has him worried, but luckily not the Swine variety.

This draw was done at the same time as a lenormand draw, featured on my sister blog “The Lenormand Oracle” that reflected the same message.

I don’t know if anyone else out there in cyberspace does a series of draws with different systems, but I’ve found it fascinating to see how all the different decks will present a Theme for the day….different little pieces of the puzzle!

I kept staring at A Journey and Lots of Money when I finally realized that it represented a money transfer! lol Money literally taking a journey :) facilitated by the Rich Good Lord.

This is a gent in another country, who we’ve been waiting for his funds to clear. They finally have. We found out that money is to be transferred on Monday.

I’m just tickled pink to see that a string of dailies are popping off the page and happening quickly; sometimes they take much longer than I would like.

Lenormand Arlo and the Gypsy cards-

I had mentioned in a reading using the Gypsy cards on The Card Lover, that I would receive a gift that would bring unexpected joy. I didn’t believe it at the time, to be honest :) mainly because I couldn’t think of anyone or anything.

The next day I got the really unexpected joy of finding out that a friend of mine had ordered something to be sent to me, but I didn’t know what. She gifted me with my very own copy of the Lenormand Arlo deck! To say I am tickled pink would be putting it mildly. I just love the illustrations on this simple, traditional deck.

Arlo and his wife Christine, are the wonderful team behind Lavengro. Be sure to check out their other unique items.

I will be featuring this wonderful deck regularly ~ I love it so much that I’m being exclusive with it, lol, I don’t want anyone else fiddling with it!

Fox – Rider – Bouquet:

The Rider/Bouquet combination heralds wonderful news! The Fox card, for me, has to do with work/employment. I grinned when I saw these and crossed my fingers, that we would finally be receiving the happy news we’ve been waiting for .

I drew these Wednesday morning, I think, just before I sprained my ankle……only a few minutes ago I  actually received the news: the bank has cleared the funds and they should be transferred on Monday! so being in limbo is about to come to an end! hooray! Work is going to begin in earnest, next week.

The cards have been insisting that good changes were on the horizon, sometimes it’s just hard to be patient :)

On Oct 14th (2 days ago) I drew these cards with the Gypsy deck:

money010message021sweetheart

I remember laughing and saying to my husband that it looked like I was going to be the one to receive the good news! That statement seemed pretty unlikely since I rarely get to the phone before my husband does! seriously-

This morning, he headed out to the local bakery to pick up a freshly baked loaf of Raisin bread (yumm). While he was out, sure enough the phone rang and I was the one to get the message from our business partner that the money was on the way! I never pick up the phone!! it just cracks me up that the Gypsy cards foretold that I would be sitting in the office at the computer just when he would call….amazing!

Oh ohh, here I go again!

34-Minor-Discs-Queen39-Minor-Swords-04

I’ve had an unexpected absence…one that only cryptically showed up in any of my card systems, surprisingly!

I had the Queen of Pentacles and the 4 of Swords in a recent celtic spread but didn’t take the hint.

A couple of days ago, as I was walking from the hallway to the family room, I made a misstep on the small riser and went flying through the air into the family room. My ankle completely gave way and I spent an agonising 1/2 hour curled up on the floor with my husband giving me Reiki. My dreams had shown me being out of commission (actually in the hospital!) but luckily, I seem to be managing with it wrapped and walking carefully with a cane. When you push too hard, and don’t take time to rest and nurture yourself, the Universe will slow you down one way or another! I didn’t take heed to the warning and am paying the consequences :) oh well. On to a post about cards! ~Spiritsong

Card23Card25Card17

Well, this is pretty self explanatory…especially since we are neck deep in legal issues. Something good is about to happen around this quagmire!

I am so ready to see this chapter close…. the combination of the first two (23-25) has the meaning of
“a judicial success”.

The second two (25-17) represents “an honor – about which one is much pleased.”

Something good is in the works…the cards have been right way too much for me to doubt them now.

unexpected-joy033gift028sweetheart

This was a draw that I jotted down in my notebook on September 29th. I remember teasing my husband, asking him if he was going to surprise me with a gift, which was unlikely because of financial restrictions at the moment. I remember thinking, humph! fat chance! LOL and dismissed the draw.

Then, literally 2 days later I was totally shocked and surprised to discover that a thoughtful friend had sent me a gift!! Totally out of the blue, from the  least likely person I would guess and it definitely brought me Unexpected Joy.

The gift hasn’t arrived in the mail yet, but I was fascinated that the Gypsy cards had picked up on the kindness that was about to be bestowed upon me! I will update when the gift arrives :)

Keeping a journal certainly helps seeing how the cards work.

LegCandleCoinsCarrot

What a surprise! I was expecting something like “patience” or “challenges” ! lol

I had asked what I could expect in the next 7 days?

The Leg indicates that I will be stepping into a new experience in the timeframe shown.

The Candle glows in the darkness, surrounded by a ring of lilies. The Lilies represent Spiritual Love while the candle reassures that I will be shown the way.

Coins is a wonderful surprise :) Good fortune is in store; it shows that money is coming to me.

Carrot represents a windfall or a new opportunity. It’s being plucked from the garden, ready to harvest and enjoy. This windfall or opportunity presents itself with little or no effort on my part….

So what a promising and cool week to come! I’m keeping my fingers crossed on this one.

Red 1 DeathGreen 11 Playful PageGreen 3 Unicorn

DeathPlayful PageUnicorn

This morning I thought I would share a draw from the Pages of Shustah deck. The drawings always remind me of wood cut blocks that you then roll ink onto and print. They are beautiful.

I was very intrigued to see what I drew, as they showed graphically something that I am experimenting with. I have begun working in earnest with a method taught by a Meg Blackburn Losey, who is very accomplished in the Spiritual/New Age field. She is an energetic healer, and channels Higher Beings, and a successful author of two books.

She started out experimenting with movement and sound, and discovered that she was able to access Gamma waves within her brain. The continued use of movement and music, combined with sensing subtle energy, opened her up to seeing in other dimensions and working with the Masters.

I have, in the past worked with her method, called “Movement to Spirit”- but stopped when I started affecting everything electrical around me! Computers went haywire, electronic doors at the grocery store would misfunction, and wristwatches became unusable.

Now, I’ve been prompted to work again with her method, but using music composed with the Solfeggio frequencies; and I must admit, it was immediately powerful.

So back to the cards!:

I drew Death, which shows a major change or a transformation occuring.

I then have the Playful Page, and what really caught my eye is that he/she looks like they are dancing and moving the energy in a balanced flow. Look at the smile! This movement to Spirit feels really good!

And what comes from doing this exercise? the Unicorn, which represents the subtle energies.

I immediately got the message from the Shustah to continue working with this method as I will have major changes in my awareness of the subtle energy fields. I plan on honoring this message! lol

I’m back to meditating regularly and focusing on my Spiritual path.

*note- later in the day, I came across a post on Kaph’s Shustah blog about the Unicorn, in which he wrote:

“Specifically, The unicorn can indicate a loss of control over a situation, or it may reveal an situation that is outside of the individual’s control or sphere of influence.  The Unicorn is always a warning that focused attention is needed at this time in the area influenced by this card.

The Unicorn can also indicate a lack of focus, and failure to “follow through” on a situation.  In other words, the individual is scattering his or her energies.”

I identify with the advice/warning that focused attention is needed, and to be sure to follow through…..that definitely speaks to me as well…..I can have that transformation as long as I stay committed and continue with it.

Check out Meg’s website here.

Learn more about the Solfeggio frequencies at Dr. Len Horowitz’s site – he is the one who rediscovered them; or by checking out YouTube videos here.

I wanted to bring to your attention the work of a very talented artist. He is a member of another cartomancy forum that I frequent and I’m continually inspired by his work.

He has just created a very simple, but elegant Lenormand deck that I thought you might be interested in. It’s called the Lenormand Arlo. 

 

 

 il_430xN_93303355

 

il_fullxfull_93297833

Arlo has also made an array of absolutely breathtaking boxes for your tarot and oracle card collections.

Here is an example:

il_430xN_37048036

il_430xN_37050034

As soon as I am in funds, I plan on obtaining a deck and one of his gorgeous boxes :)

Check out his and his wife’s Etsy store here.
