Daily Divination Cards - Thursday 2nd August July 2012

Good morning.

I did not have a good night's sleep, waking every couple of hours, then 'overslept', got up late and been trying to catch up ever since :(

Worried about my Mum, who is in hospital today undergoing some tests, under a general anaesthetic, so any prayers and positive energies sent her way, for the best possible outcome, would be gratefully appreciated, thank you :)

My Dad is with her and she may be several hours, so in the meantime, I shall keep myself busy and crack on with my orders!

Please find your cards and messages for Thursday below and - whatever your star sign - have a good day :)

Brightest Blessings,
Kaz

The Wisdom of Avalon Oracle Cards

by Collette Baron-Reid

Quoted from the pack: "The Wisdom of Avalon Oracle Cards by Colette Baron-Reid is a 52 card divination system - an inspirational tool to bridge the unseen world of Spirit and the physical world of our day-to-day lives. Based on the rich mythology of ancient Britain's Isle of Avalon and the wisdom teachings of its priestesses, these cards (and the accompanying guidebook) will help you find valuable and powerful insights in all aspects of life as you chart your path and manifest your destiny with clarity and purpose."


My personal card for today:

THE MERLIN - alchemy, justice, balance
 
Divinatory meaning: The Merlin is the messenger of initiation and alchemy and is both the Magician and the High Priest. He is the masculine keeper of magic and has the ability to turn iron ore into gold. The Merlin says "You have all you need to move forward. Rejoice that all the elements you require for success are indeed present!"

You are given notice that, when it comes to your life and it’s purpose, the magical aspect of the Merlin can be summoned to help you find an answer within you. When the Merlin appears, he tells you that justice will be done in all matters of your query, but not by any forceful action. Instead, ask yourself what you need to do to bring balance into your life. Are you working too hard, perhaps over-thinking things? Do you have enough downtime?

The answers you seek are not found in obvious places. It’s time to go within, through meditation and prayer, and ask the Spirit world of the Merlin’s magical influence to send you signs and omens to help you chart your course. The Merlin says he will lend you his wisdom and magic on this leg of your journey, until you can claim it as your own.

His message is always: “Be in the world, but not of it, and wear it only as a loose cloak about your shoulders.” You will never have to look outside yourself for answers when the Merlin appears. Remember, all signs and omens sent by the Merlin are but reflections of that which is within you already.

Due to lack of time, etc. These are the 'quick reading' messages - for the full reading and meaning of the cards you will need to obtain these cards for yourself - or get someone else to buy them for you as a gift!

Here are your messages and insights for today. Try to sit quietly for a few moments, meditate on your card and think about how you can learn from, and act upon, its message...

Aries:
 
THE GRAIL KNIGHT - romance, illusion, seeking the sacred 

Quick reading: Romance, and the seeking of that which is sacred - such are the missions of the Grail Knight. He represents the coming together of all elements to form perfect life through a union of heaven and earth; or he signifies a romantic union of lover with lover. Love is in the air. Perhaps it is time to fall in love with yourself. Love attracts love. Be love and you shall find love.

Taurus:
 
THE WIND FAERY - thoughts, words, intellectual analysis 
 
Quick reading: The Wind Faery whispers that the power of thoughts manifests the unseen into the physical. Take time to observe your predominant thoughts. Are they positive and empowering? Or negative and disempowering? The Wind Faery also reminds you of the power of intellect, as this is a good time to use the power of your analytical mind. Think before you act; this is not the time for impulsive action. A well-thought-out strategy will yield a positive result.

Gemini:
 
THE COW - nourishment, abundance, asking, receiving 

Quick reading: The Cow says, “Nourishment is never-ending when I appear on your path. Don’t forget to till the soil so that grass may grow. Do your part, and I will do mine with joy. Ask, and you will receive all the blessings I have to offer.” The Cow reminds you that there is no shortage of blessings in the world. Ask to partake in infinite abundance, and you will, indeed, get exactly what you need.

Cancer:
 
THE QUEEN - woman, fertility, feminine power, sexuality, friendships 

Quick reading: Fertility, beauty, female sexual energy, earthly pleasures, and friendships among women - the Queen summons you to bestow her gifts upon you so that you can revel in the beauty of life. The Queen appears to remind you of the importance of self-esteem, self-worth, and holding your head high. Now is the time to set boundaries with others with gentle authority, yet try not to be isolated from them in the process. The Queen knows how to delegate authority when she needs to. Summon your inner Queen and ask for what you need.

Leo:
 
THE FROG - cleaning house, releasing emotional baggage 

Quick reading: It's time to clean house and get rid of the clutter in your environment, your head, and your heart. Move out any objects, thoughts, or relationships that hold you back. It’s time to get rid of anything that clutters your life or space with unwanted burdensome energy, or anything that weighs heavily on your heart. It's time to release all things no longer appropriate to bring on your journey. Allow new and fresh energy to enter your world.

Virgo:
 
MOVEMENT 

Quick reading: This marker reminds you that all things change as part of the cycle of life. This may portend a physical move, or it heralds a release for restriction and waiting. This marker is always an omen of change for the better.
Libra:
 
THE EARTH FAERY - physical health, grounding, foundations 

Quick reading: The Earth Faery says to pay attention to your health and all things pertaining to your physical body. Perhaps you need to exercise, pay attention to your diet, or get more sleep? Another message from the Earth Faery is to make sure the foundations of all you do are solid. Be aware that projects, relationships, business ideas, and families all need to be built on sturdy, steady foundations. The Earth Faery always helps you when you ask.

Scorpio:
 
THE OWL - deception, wisdom 

Quick reading: The Owl lends you eyes that you need in order to see in the dark around you. Watch for deception by others. Be honest with yourself and snap out of any lies and denial inside you. All is well with the Owl to guide you. Deep wisdom into human nature is gained through the ability to recognize untruths. Owl is an important and powerful ally.

Sagittarius:
 
THE CAT - independence, healthy boundaries 
 
Quick reading: The Cat reminds you of independence and to set healthy boundaries. Love with freedom - do not look to own what you desire, for too much attachment can lead to loss. On this leg of your journey, you will emerge safe and sound. Live freely, love without unhealthy attachment, and remember that with the Cat as your companion, you may fully immerse yourself in life, for there will be many more lives to come.

Capricorn:
 
THE SWAN - transformation, trusting psychic gifts 

Quick reading: This card represents a transformation from one state to another. This signals a period of growth that will ultimately be life-changing. It also reminds you to trust your intuition and psychic gifts to guide you through the process of wonderful and ultimate change. The Swan reminds you to see with your heart and listen with your spirit… and the whole world can be magically transformed.

Aquarius:
 
THE LADY OF THE LAKE - absolute truth, courage, self-respect, responsibility 

Quick reading: The Lady of the Lake represents the highest order of respect for yourself and the manner in which you operate in the world around you. She demands nothing short of total truth and integrity; she asks you to be mindful of all the signs, signals and omens that present themselves to you. Seek the sword of truth within yourself and great success will be yours. Have courage for the strength of Avalon is behind you in support of your quest for wholeness and abundance.

Pisces:
 
FOCUS 

Quick reading: Focus your attention on the job ahead. Do what is in front of you, no matter how small the task. Clear focus is required. Your path is marked with the need to regroup and remind yourself of your goal.. Then stay in the present time and do what is directly in front of you. Only one small, focused step at a time will place you at your destination.
