Not What They Seem

Decks used are the Movie Tarot by Diana McMahon Collis, the Herbal tarot by Michael Tierra, Animal Power Oracle by Alyson Charles and the Native Spirit Oracle by Denise Linn

Once again, the idea of transformation has come through in my mind and the issue this always seems to bring up is the idea that our comfort zones and things, we’ve brought into sooth ourselves have stopped feeling right. they don’t look the same and deep down, I don’t think it’s the things themselves that have changed. It’s us, and we’ve done so on a level we can’t see. So, what’s the message to be taken from this? Let’s dig into the cards and find out, shall we?

cards pulled from various decks.

peace pipe: heal old wounds with people and situations, carefully do whatever you need to do to make amends and forgive yourself as well as others.

trickster: things are not as they seem, something that seems bad may in fact be good and vice versa. Don’t take everything at face value.

Sheep: lead community with unity

Spider: create magic

Medicine Wheel (Wheel of Fortune): representing cycles, up and down, what is up will come down and vice versa.

7 of wands: facing conflict and drama and defending your right to stand where you are. this could hurt because there are people in your space you thought would be on your side but aren’t.

8 of cups: leaving behind disappointments for broader and brighter horizons and a new field to water. Happiness is where you make it and not in what you don’t have.

The World: endings, completion, old energy and chapters end and leave as new chapters and energy begins.

I think things have come through quite plainly here, in that things aren’t what they seem to be for us anymore and it’s caused us to feel low and strange about all these things. At one point, we felt disappointed and in pain, now we can feel how the cycle of time is changing. Where we felt down, now we’re coming back up again, but this is bringing in personal drama for us because everything seems to have changed. the best advice here is to stop taking things at face value. Change always happens. the best way to navigate this is to let things simply just be and move forward in creating your magic.

As for the changes you’ve gone through, take a step forward and lead. You have what it takes to make yourself feel secure in this time, you can do this by letting the old energies around you move out of your space and make room for the new and better energy to come rolling in.
