Observer

The booklet describes this card as observation from a distance.  Objectivity, neutral observation.

Can we really have a good view from such a distance?  My father always spouted words of advice, old sage wisdom snippets.  One of them that still stays with me is "Believe none of which you hear and only half of what you see."  Can objectivity be achieved viewing something so far away, seemingly out of reach.  I think not.  
Perspective maybe the order of the day.  Why would a wily trickster like a fox be working on gestating the egg instead of eating it?  It is a curious world we live in.  There are lots of things that aren't what they appear to be, best to keep an open mind while observing what goes on around me.
WISDOM of the ORACLE -Colette Baron-Reid

Since the daily draw pictured an observation of the Moon, I wondered why we don't see more cards with an observation of the Earth?  Maybe we are so concerned with whats going on everywhere else we don't spend enough time thinking about where we are.

Aspirin please

This image is giving me a headache.   All the blood rushing to my head and those antlers.

Maybe this Oak King grew his antlers, for me it made think of the halo I had to wear for four months.  Horrible.  Four screws drilled into my skull to hold my neck immobile as the broken vertebrae healed. I still have the indentations these five years later and oh my how some days they ache and itch.  The weight of carrying that steel around and never more than a few drug induced hours of sleep.
Enough of that.  The only different perspective I want to have today is the back of my eyelids. Thunderstorms, some which were fairly intense, kept me awake most of night.

Hmm, what to do?

I really like this Seven of Cups.  In this interpretation the cups are not filled with choices they are left to me fill as I please.  I like that. 

Each day is a new opportunity.  I wonder what I will do with my day.    I like to look at these seven cups as the seven days of the week.  Sometimes I plan my week out and have an agenda and then there are those days and weeks that my cups are not filled with lists of things to do and accomplish.  The three sprites are joining me to see if this may be a day for adventure?  Hmm, wonder what I would like to do?

Sit back down please

The King of Cups has made a repeat appearance.  Evidently he has not left the table and still has something more to say to me.

I do not ignore a card that has presented itself again. If I shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, mix and cut the cards and I draw the same card as the day before evidently there is more to garner.  Wasn't I a bit rude to leave the table without the king's approval and him being so gracious about it.  I thought we were done yesterday and looking at him looking at me I really can't fathom what else needs to be said.  Obviously he is in no hurry to let me know since he is intent on enjoying himself.  I can hope that whatever it is he lets me know and hopefully he takes a drink from his cup and swallows his food before speaking; I definitely don't want to be wearing bits of his lunch.
So here I sit waiting for whatever needs to be said.  The least he could do is let me cut a piece of the cake with cherries so I can enjoy myself at his table too.

Two - Please!

I would enjoy having lunch with this King.  Actually I think a long, relaxing lunch is exactly what is called for with all the wands energy I have been working with of late.  He is a bit different that the iconic King of Cups, no fish here, just lots of indulgent items to lunch on and bumble bees.  The King still holds his cup up, not as a symbol of power or control over his emotions, more like..."come join me."

I have a business lunch today.  Well not quite business, still I am meeting with a past client.  I can't compete with the younger class of sales agents; I am done with the hard hustle and bustle of business.  I am going to take a more relaxed pace. I met a agent that I have known for years for lunch Monday.  She holds her license but really is out of sales.  She was and is a natural - she doesn't know a stranger.  Literally if she decides to talk to someone in short order she will have found some connection, through this, that, or another.  I too was somewhat like her but since trauma I withhold so much of myself.  Fear left a long tether on me and I am always looking for a way to get back home.
I like the bees, busy little bees.  They seem to have the best jobs.  Moving from one sweet spot to another, I am sure they don't think of what they do as a job.  Bees have fallen on tough times but with a little help from Kings of Cups and lots of others they will make a come back.  So I am going to take the King's advice and relax and enjoy and the bees let me know I can do my work over lunch...

two plus two

What an enchanting card.  Of course I love the depiction, especially since there was a post last year with lots of froggy fun.  The booklet says these are toads, pretty much the same to me.  Look at them hop around with the magic wands.

The book explains the gal is a weaver and is sending her goods out to market.  Frogs and toads are talisman of good luck and fortune.  If we do what we love then I think the good luck and fortune are just happy by-products of a life well lived.
I wonder if someone kissed these frogs if they would turn into handsome princes who just happened to hop off with the magic wands that changed them or maybe they are the knitting needles of the woman and they are just having a lovely game of chase, or maybe the frogs are encouraging her to get out of the house.




When I was on vacation back in January I stopped by a lovely little shop that had a magic toad.  I have him on my desk with a couple of gold plated $1.00 coins.   Auspicious for career, maybe?   He is fun to look at.

Zap!

The Ace of Wands.  What a auspicious card to draw at the start of the week.

All that wonderful energy.  I need it.  I am fascinated by the little wren that is about to perch on the wands end.  Such a little bird to be able to sing such a loud and lovely song.  Just reminded me of the quote to do with -' even the smallest among you can make a change', or something like that.   I have been in a holding pattern in my life and it is a bit of a bore; hopefully all this wand energy of late suggests that a bit of vitality and something new is about shine through in my life. 
And I can 'cherry pick' what I want to do with that energy.  Ha!
