Green Man Wisdom ~ Strength comes from accepting support This week comes the penultimate card in our look at this fantastic Oracle deck: it’s the Ivy, with the Ogham name of Gort. The wise words of the Green Man about this plant is rather apt. Ivy uses, needs and provides support throughout its life and […]
Wildwood CotD : Major #4 ~ The Green Man
Finally today, the Green Man comes out to join us. The Great Bear turned up and fell out twice, so we need to add him into the equation today as well. What do these pair have to offer to us today? One comes up at the Midsummer Solstice , the other is with us now, […]
Wildwood CotD : Major #20 ~ The Great Bear
Today we’re joined by one of the Majors and one of the cards that is placed near the Winter Solstice of Yuletide. We’re in the Season of The Great Bear, the Wildwood’s answer to Judgement. This Bear though can look quite scary and honestly, while he might be scary, things that mean a lot, are […]
Wildwood CotD : Knight of Vessels
Another card of the Vessels suit comes out to join us and today, it’s the slippery, environment changing, go-with-the-flow, Eel. What a brilliant card for a Friday! This Knight is far more about adaptability, camouflage and their sometime electric personalities than being the trodden, emotional wreck often applied to this card. This Knight has a […]
Wildwood CotD : Ten of Vessels
Today the Ten of Vessels comes out to join us and the cups today, over-floweth! The water can flow so fast that we don’t get chance to take stock and understand quite we’re feeling. The emotions today may feel over-whelming, too much. Each cup returns to the river that which it doesn’t need, from the […]
Wildwood CotD : Five of Vessels
It’s a TopLoader kind of day, to dance in the Moonlight! And if this lady is any example to go by, dance your cares away! As is obvious from the image we see to the left, she’s dancing within a pentangle that is drawn on the earth. She holds a thyrsus in one hand (a […]
Wildwood CotD : Three of Vessels
It’s Party Time! Oh, wait, this is Tuesday, not a Friday. Does The Wildwood know what day of the week it is? I doubt it and even if it did, its message is applied to any day of the week. Today, we’re reminded to be thankful for friends, be joyous in the bond that they […]
Wildwood CotD : Major #8 ~ The Stag
It’s the start of the week and we have The Wildwood’s answer to Justice raise his shield and axe at us. I often think of his shield as a drum, rather than a shield, but to be honest, it’s probably both. That hafted axe though, there is no mistaking. It’s a weapon and a tool. […]
Green Man Tree Oracle: Holly ~ Tinne
Green Man Wisdom ~ Energy fuels every action This week we have the ever green Holly come and join us. I learn from reading this that Holly burns the hottest of all the woods, creating a passionate fire. Fires can be created for all sorts of reasons. There’s the physical for heat, warmth, food. The […]
Wildwood CotD : Major #17 ~ The Pole Star
This weekend we’re joined by The Pole Star, the Wildwood’s answer to The Star in the RWS. Firstly, I’m sorry I didn’t post this card up yesterday (Friday 23rd) but I was simply too tired to concentrate or to think. However, the message is carries for us isn’t just for one day, this is your […]
