Wordsmithing Magic from the Crossroads
Because I am away on vacation, I am repeating last week’s card. Happily, that means that the luscious, beautiful Empress remains our loving Guide for this coming week. However, the astrology is very active, so I recommend you visit our favorite astrologer and take heed.
Re-prioritizing our needs and our material comforts is at a critical juncture this week. Now is the time to discover and honor what rich abundance really means to us. For there are benevolent influences that offer assistance as we consider what home, security, and the principles of a mothering unconditional love mean to us.
This week we’re reminded all of us are Nature’s beloved children—every race, every nation, every gender, and every species, not just humans.
In a fairly rare event for my Card of the Week, our card from last week returns with an encore engagement. Clearly, the message from this card is important and carries on this week. We are given a second chance to stop, consider, and then prepare for the results of our labors to pay off.
Merry Meet! Today is one of the holiest, happiest, most beautiful celebrations in our sacred year! It is Beltane in the Northern Hemisphere (and Blessed Samhain below the equator). The veil between the worlds is most thin, and our ancient alliances with the Faery world, as well as Nature, are honored. May joy be yours.
The Wheel turns, the veils between the human world and the primal worlds part and fly open. Dance into the ancient enchantment. Blessed Walpurgisnacht! Merry May Eve!
As I do each year, I examine the Tarot Year’s card, based on the year’s numerology, using the lens of the Major Arcana. Everyone reading this is feeling the twists that began barely 24 hours after the New Year’s stroke of midnight Eastern time. They haven’t let up and aren’t likely to. But they can be navigated. Here’s how.
Merry Meet! Today is one of the holiest, happiest, most beautiful celebrations in our sacred year! It is Beltane in the Northern Hemisphere (and Blessed Samhain below the equator). The veil between the worlds is most thin, and our ancient alliances with the Faery world, as well as Nature, are honored. May joy be yours.
Now gather round and prepare for this most holy and joyful sacred celebration! Tonight is May Eve, also known as Walpurgis Night. There is powerful, Earthy magic flowing in all things at this cross-quarter between Spring and Summer, when we celebrate burgeoning life and Nature’s wild, unrestrained beauty. Rejoice!
The Wheel turns, the veils between the human world and the primal worlds part and fly open. Dance into the ancient enchantment. Merry May Eve!
New Year’s is a time of very old magic. Prepare by knowing that everything you do on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day is loaded with power.
