Powerful

by
I am the one who is powerful.
I am the one who is powerful.

 

I made this card YEARS ago and at the time it was speaking to me about power- good power, centered and balanced strength and power.

As the years have gone by, however, another meaning has come forth from this card.Ā  And believe it or not, I didn’t actually notice the larger hand in the background which is holding up the earth.

This Neter showed up today for me in my Every-Other-Daily-Reading and this is what it said to me:

I am the one who is powerful.Ā  I am the one who gets my strength and power from a place of balance and centeredness.

I am the one who can carry ANYthing because there is a Power greater than me doing the actual carrying.

What I have to say to you today is this- What are you struggling to carry right now? Name it.

Can you be still for a moment and see that Another Hand is already carrying it for you?

Ah!Ā  I love it when my cards ask ME questions in return!

Untitled Card with Huge Message!

by

I drew this card from my Deck a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised with what it had to tell me!Ā  I made it completely intuitively after my second cancer experience, not knowing its message.Ā  Beautiful timing!

scunknown111

I am the one who offers myself to the Divine Universe.Ā  Take me, I’m yours!

I am the one who has stripped off all clothes, all masks, all illusions.Ā  I am the one who is wide open, trusting.Ā 

I am the one who was behind closed doors but now I am free.Ā  I am the one who offers up all I am and all I have, who is willing to let it all go in this powerful stance of open glory.

I am the one who can go and hide behind that heavy door again, where it is safe, but now I feel no need to shut myself back up again.

NOTE FROM ANNE MARIE- If this was YOUR card, what would it be saying to YOU?

Cosmic Wheel of Fortune

Cosmic Wheel of Fortune
Cosmic Wheel of Fortune

Who are you?
I am the one who eagerly leans forward and spins the bright, jeweled Cosmic Wheel of Fortune.Ā  I am the one rising out of the jeweled lotus.Ā  I am the one who eagerly awaits the result of the spin.Ā 

I am the one who knows that WHEREVERĀ  the Wheel of Fortune lands, I will receive something bright and valuable.Ā 

My message for you today is this- Spin, play the game of life with wild abandon, pleasure, and an absence of fear.Ā  There is NO WAY you can LOSE at this Cosmic Wheel of Fortune.Ā 

Wherever you land is the perfect gem for you at this time.Ā  Always look for the jewel of each place that you “land.”

 

NOTE FROM ANNE MARIE: I made this card years ago, totally intuitively. It’s been in my deck at least four years, and for the first time, it showed up in one of my Every-Other-Daily readings this week.Ā  I had completely forgotten about it, but what a powerful and timely message I received today!

SUGGESTION: Don’t give up on cards you make that sit in your deck for a loooooong time. They will show up at exactly the right time with exactly the right message, even though you don’t know what it means when you are making the card.

A Reading for a New Pet

by

We adopted a 2 year old cat two weeks ago and I decided to do a reading with my deck to help me with this transition. Here is the question I asked and the very wise answers my Neters gave me!

NOTE: You can click on each card to see it larger.

Who has wisdom to give me about making our new cat Louis feel more comfortable?

scdivine

 

Divine Connection- We are the ones who represent your connection to Divine Spirit. We are the ones who are best in touch with you when you are resting quietly with your eyes closed and focusing on your breath. Our wisdom for you about Louis is this: keep your commitment to your meditation times. Smile, close your eyes, relax, remain connected to Spirit within. Spirit is within Louis as well. All is well. All is well.

 

 

scwinterWinter– I am the one who speaks to you of the season of Winter. I am the one who offers light and warmth in the cold darkness. I am the one who offers a harbinger of spring in the red cardinal. My wisdom for you about Louis is this: you have just been through a harsh winter time of grief and loss. First Sasha, then your breast, Lis and most recently Minnie. Notice that even in this wintertime of grieving and loss, you have a light within you. Notice the beauty of that grieving season. And also know that winter never lasts forever. Spring always comes. You have invited this young cat into your life to offer hope and joy after a long time of grieving.

 

scjudge

 

Quartet of Judges- We are the ones who look down our noses at people and beings who are not like us. We are the ones who stare at these others mercilessly and find them all lacking. We are the ones who have high expectations of others- too high. Our message for you about making Louis feel more comfortable is this- our energy has been prevalent for you since he came to live with you. Notice how much you are judging him. Notice what your unreasonable expectations of him are. This will allow BOTH of you to find some peace.

 

 

Crone– I am the one who is old and yet quite content with who I am. I am the one who builds hatsccrones so the birds of the wild have a place to live. I am the one who creates a beautiful rainbow afghan. I am the one who loves nature and creativity and all of Godā€™s creatures. My wisdom for you about making Louis more comfortable is this: you have offered this sweet being a home, not in your hat of course, but in your house and in your family. This is not a small thing. This is a HUGE thing and a big step for you, and I applaud you. I want YOU to applaud you. And stop judging yourself for taking him away from his foster home and for doing everything wrong. This is NOT the truth. Remind yourself of the TRUTH!

Success from Defeat

by

scsuccessI am the one who was measured and laid low by defeat and failure and now I am free and now I am successful and now I am no longer defeated.Ā  I am the one who survived and lived to tell the story of how difficult it was, before, and how easy it is, now.Ā  I am the one who raises my arms in triumph.

I am the one who was supported and guided by the Divine Ones on my journey from “there” to “here.”

My message for you today is this: it’s a journey, it’s always a journey.Ā  And there are still some places in your life where you are feeling defeated.Ā  What are those places, what is that place, where you currently experience defeat?Ā  Use the energy and power of the little girl on this card and find a way to bring yourself from defeat to triumph.

This was a new message for me, from this card- the bit about using the energy of the image of the little girl to bring failure/defeat to success.Ā  So I decided to ask the little girl a bit about herself. And this is what she said:

I am the one who is young and beautiful and dressed in party clothes, clothes of celebration.Ā  I am the one who is watching what takes place.Ā  I am the one whose magic is my innocence.Ā  I am the one whose magic is in my belief that wonderful things can and do happen, and often.

I am the one whose magic wishing dandelion is touching the defeated one’s leg.Ā 

I am the one who transforms the defeat into the triumph with my belief that all is well, that all is possible.

My message for you today is this: believe that your body will get back to its natural weight, and it will.Ā  It may sound naive and innocent, but in my words is wrapped the wisdom of the Universe.
