Hi Sweet Hearts,
This month I was Guided to honour my Pagan roots with the Angel Guidance Reading for this month. Although not technically an Angel Oracle Deck, the Angels are definitely the ones sharing the messages! This is one of the first decks I collected many moons ago. The Wicca Pack by Sally Morningstar contains a bright and organic, colourful deck that aligns us with our connection with the Earth and it's rhythms and Seasons. Perfect, the Angels tell us, for this time of year... Beltaine in the Southern Hemisphere and Samhain/Halloween in the North.
So, to wherever you are at this time... take a few moments to centre yourself with some deep, clearing breaths and connect to Your Place in this Moment, for you are in exactly the perfect place for you right now xox
CARD ONE = THE CURRENT SITUATION
BAT ~ REBIRTH IN CONSCIOUSNESS
The Angels share that this time is again, a time of 're-setting'. Our past is free, and our future is an endless opportunity for Miracles. We are reminded of the previous month's Guidance regarding Parenting Ourselves. This month we are continuing to care for ourself in a way that is intuitive and Divinely Guided.
The bat is a symbol of adaptation. Of navigating the Realms between Earth and Spirit... between light and dark... perfect for this Halloween/Beltaine energy! The two lotus flowers remind us that the dross is there as fertiliser... that we have indeed utilised our past wisely and are now blossoming above the water (our emotions) following the Path of Ascension perfectly. Utilising what is right there is paramount, as is connecting on a Soul Level with others as relationships are also showing up in this card's message.
Remember, like the moon, that we have personal and planetary cycles. Honouring our own timing is key right now. While others are powering forward or resting it matters not, really. Keep to your True Guidance and you will find your Soul Group.
CARD TWO = THE QUERY
BLACK CAT ~ PSYCHISM
When I first saw the cards of this bright and colourful deck presenting themselves with the darkest of themes for this month's reading, I had to check with the pendulum to see if it was the 'right layout' for the BlissHEALING Readers... after all, it was Beltaine too! The Angels assured me that although this appears to be more of a Halloween theme, the Light is everpresent.
Black cat does represent the question of the current situation, so it fits very well. On a wholistic message level, it relates to what we are PERCEIVING WITH OUR WHOLISTIC SENSES. Whether we are clairvoyant, psychic, clairaudient or what ever name you use, we are all receiving messages ALL THE TIME. Each of us appear similar (like any black cat appears similar to another black cat), yet deep down, we are increasingly more and more individual and unique in a GOOD WAY! Our skills are filtering through more and more and we really can't question them any longer as they present as true and accurate in every day situations. Our hunches are spot on. Our Angels are everpresent. This card reminds us to only query the lack of love in any situation.. for this is the only true question and the answer is always, always LOVE.
CARD THREE = THE DESTINY
CAVE ~ RETREAT
The Angels show that our destiny within this situation is one of a healing journey within. The green leaves on the outside of the cave symbolise new growth and opportunities in a seemingly impossible situation. The fire within represents ACTION and PASSION and links us to the Sacred Unions and activities of a private nature.
Sometimes it's ok not to tell everyone everything all the time. The circle of fire can be very private and very safe in your own personal cave. The bear will offer the perfect timing regarding this theme and indicates deep Earth HEALING. Again the full moon shines forth in the card's image (like in the bat card). As we are nearing a New Moon on the 3rd November in Scorpio, much will be revealed that will lead you further with your intrigue and answer all. The next Full Moon will be in Taurus on the 18th bringing all the Earthly answers and delights to the physical realm.
CARD FOUR = THE PAST
HOLEY STONE ~ PROTECTION
Wow, a lot of energy in this image! Take note of the Golden Angel that has been protecting you through the past month of severe and extreme situations. You may have survived an accident; heard some unsettling news; experienced strong relationship changes or had a loved one pass. This card shows that your Guardian Angel has been with you very closely during these experiences and is continuing to increase and enhance your personal relationship on a wholistic level. Awareness can definitely lessen the lessons :) (nice one Angels!)
Maybe you have a personal talisman or a lucky item. It could be an actual rock or a gift from a child or a favourite white feather left in your path as a sign from your Angels that you are being looked after. Often songs are signs. Infact to continue your protective energy shield, do play music you love as this elevates you to another level. A level where protection is not even required as there is in truth, no danger. Love will protect you and offer the insights that you seek. Sometimes we are completely on the right track, we just need to allow our field of view to become sharper. Either way, the past is in the past and everything presents itself as necessary xox
CARD FIVE = THE PRESENT
SWORD ~ ASPIRATION
Oh the poor old dragon in this image! The look on it's face is one of complete weariness.. a look of 'oh no, not THIS again!'. Classic Mercury Retrograde occurrences may be happening for you or to those you love. Yes, it's a cycle back around to receive things from the past regarding travel and information. News from the past can be an opportunity for freedom.. hence this card.. the sword. As we know, Archangel Michael is the Angel with the Sword of Light, so working with him this month is highly indicated. Ask him to completely CUT all ties to all that is unlike love in all directions of time. From the symbolism on this card, you will be 'constrained' until you do and the clue is in your emotions. Where do you dip your toe/tail into the waters of emotions that have you come unstuck,, that have you saying 'oh no, not this again'? Here is your moment, the opportunity to clear it once and for all with love Love LOVE. Deep breaths! The dragon totem is a true Guide. They are often the leaders and pioneers way up and ahead of the rest of the pack. Their style is magical and charismatic in their teaching. They are story tellers. What IS your story? Deep cards hey.
CARD SIX = THE FUTURE
GAIA ~ HEALING
Yes! Here is a card that represents the Healing Light of our Collective Futures. This card references the Earth directly. It is all about our personal connection with the planet that has been our home for this entire lifetime. It is about Diversity, Dedication and the Divine within this Realm.
This card speaks of COMMUNICATION, as referenced by the clear, light blue sky background in the image. All elements are honoured with this connection, remembering the message regarding personal fire and action from the first card.
This card is an invitation to commune with Nature. To revel within your connection. To reflect upon your past connections... and to focus upon the new connections, blessing them before they even occur.
As we step in to the light TOGETHER, we will recognise one another for all that we are. I for one am very ready for this next step!
CARD SEVEN = HOW WE SEE OURSELVES
CAULDRON ~ THE WOMB
This card speaks of healing through knowledge at any time in any location. This is referenced again by the green vine-like leaves and the yellow colouring that represents intellectual knowledge. This yellow also references the cat card and the theme of psychism. There is also a sense of nourishment and safety as the field contains grains and is a sacral chakra type colour of pale orange, thus blending the two ideas of knowledge and safety/nourishment. The sun is seen on the horizon which the Angels show means that we are aware that the sun sets on our past while rises again for our futures and that we are aware of this very keenly.
This card also reminds us of our role as self parent. The womb is where we are from and as we open our hearts and our arms wide to the new energies we are aware of our Divinity.
Placing love and trust in to the cauldron ensures the future results will contain these flavours.
CARD EIGHT = THE ENVIRONMENT PRESENTED
OWL ~ WISDOM KEEPER
How are you resonating with this card deck so far?
The key shows up to offer us an opening this month. The surrounding images near the key; the 7 rays of light = spiritual opportunity & the 8 surrounding flourishes around the key indicate unconditional love. I feel strongly that this is a receiving card. Look at the heart. The space and the key fit and there is room for light to enter. The humanity presented in the image is cloaked in a protective, totemic energy of the All-Knowing, Night-Flying owl... more dreams ahead to take note of. For the owl can see through the darkness and will report back to us all that we need to know.
The Angels share that the Owl also is connected to song. A deep, personal connection. This card talks of shamanistic visions including pertinent private awareness. To step out in to the world this month, honour Spirit and be aware of her Guidance. Allow your wings to stretch further to enable the nuances to filter through to you directly. No more reaching out for superficial stimulants.. this is the raw, real deal. Your voice will be empowered for those with ears to hear and your heart is open for the perfect connections.
A dance unfolds this month. An exquisite, life-changing awareness of your connection on this planet.
Om Shanti.
CARD NINE = HOPES & DREAMS
THE HORNED GOD ~ LIFE FORCE
This card contains the 2nd of the snake images for this month's reading. As we come to the end of the year of the Water Snake, her energy is showing up so as not to be dismissed. For the snake really does love attention.
This card is filled with symbols and represents the STRENGTH OF THE MASCULINE within Nature and the Earthly Realm.
For too long the patriarchal society has denied the true strength of man. Turning him in to a slave driving machine worshipping drone. This man is raw to the core. He sits in his family tree and is aware of his Spiritual Power. The lightning bolt feeds his Crown Chakra and he is comfortable in his original form both day and night. The acorn falls from a high to share the knowledge with others, as we are all on differing rungs of the Ascension Ladder.
A strong man may or may not own a shed full of power tools. He may be the quiet one, communing with his own relationship with the All. Looking at the whole of someone enables the true wisdoms to be felt on every level. This card shows that our truest wish is to be a part of a Whole Humanity on every level.
CARD TEN = THE OUTCOME
MIRROR ~ PERCEPTION
At Halloween it is very popular to 'dress-up'. What is it we are reflecting to others, to ourselves with our masks and masquerades? This is the 'outcome' card.. so are we going to continue showing a facade to others?
This card teaches of karma.. the action we present, is the action we shall receive. Often, as the picture depicts, we may be pleasantly surprised by the reflection presented to us.
The magical as well as the mundane is available to perceive. Our own openness will determine the light that we share and see. On top of the mirror is another moon cycle reference, reminding us to retreat upon occasion (like the bear teaches) to honour our true transformation.
Again, another card that hones our integrity, yet is ultimately giving us the opportunity to RECEIVE our true selves. Our Highest Self is always available. Our Angelic Guidance is always available too. Who we truly are cannot be fully masked.
CARD ELEVEN = FINE TUNING CARD #1
NEMESIS ~ LESSONS
We have been taught that our 'nemesis' is our undoing, our enemy. Yet here, in Pagan teachings, we see that it merely means becoming our passion. Before us she stands dressed entirely in her dress of fire, of flame... the fire a symbol of our actions.. our Divine Life Purpose. That which we were born to do. That which we would happily do for free every day. It is our greatest gift.
So part of the outcome for this month is to alter our perceptions so that we may see all as truly supportive and positive. Did you know that the idea of Satan was not even in the original Old Testament. So much truth and knowledge is being given freely to us NOW, for those with eyes to see. It is truly an opportunity to dispel all the lies and to go back to our original natures of honesty and transparency. We are all in such similar states right now and always have been. The illusions have been falling for decades. This is why we are here.. to remove the fear, and transport every one and every thing in to LOVE.
Our Divine Life Purpose will actively burn off any last residual personal fear as we rise daily to our gifts. This card oozes FRESHNESS! Well done xox
CARD TWELVE = FINE TUNING CARD #2
PENTACLE ~ EVOCATION
This card reminds us that all is available for our growth, sustenance and moving forward. It reminds us to ask so that we may receive. I feel this card reminds us to make sure everything is in it's rightful order. Here in the Southern Hemisphere, shops start selling halloween gear months in advance, hoping to sell a plastic trinket to a susceptible consumer. In reality, our Halloween is in May. Yet our kids all 'buy-in' to the hype and tramp around in the ghoulish gear 6 months out of synch with what is true. Please don't get me started on all the chemically-laden lollies they are looking for.
So this card looks strong! It is strong! It is a warning and a blessing at once. Everything in it's place and a place for everything. When we honour the natural rhythms and cycles our planet graces us with every day and night consistently we WILL enjoy harmony and union. Our weather knows exactly what to do to find this balance. Homeostasis is a natural, biological occurrence and Nature is the master of this!
This card reminds us to utilise what it is that we require equally from the vast cornucopia on offer. Give and receive equally from each element. Honour the sacred principles and tread lightly upon the earth xox.
CARD THIRTEEN = THE UNDERLYING ENERGY
SPIDER ~ PATTERNS
We are creatures of habit, us humans. So are all living things. We repeat. We start over. We redo.
By finding our centre, we can accumulate brilliant life-enhancing new habits. Our subconscious is in reset mode. Our pathways are renewed. We are formulating the new BluePrint for this amazing planet. We are inspired by the organic balcony gardeners. By the photographers of beauty. By the singers of the songs that resonate deep within our hearts.
We are uplifted by quality design; by amazing textiles honed by nature and harvested by hand and heart. We are nourished by the quality recipes of plant-based colourful fare at every turn. We dispel the negative even as we sleep and dream. We awaken inspired by truth in every way. We begin again and again, each day, each thought an opportunity and a realisation of the new-and-improved.
Listen to your vibration. What are you resonating with? How harmonious are you ? This month let us allow our patterns to nurture, nourish and fulfill the Divine Plan in all ways.
Namaste & Shalom
