Goodbye 2016, you’ve been a rollercoaster of a year! Whilst we say goodbye to 2016, I have to ask via the Tarot: What the heck did we learn?! Include mortality (Bowie, Leonard Cohen), greed, boundaries, political changes (Trump & May) & a spread to say goodbye! 2016 is a 9 year, Hooded Man, Woodwose – 9 of Bows, introspection becoming reality, next year is a year of The Wheel, Change…. Changes can be small & that word instantly brings to mind this song from David Bowie. The changes can be anything, from doing something healthier to changing an attitude. The Reading: The Major card for the coming year is The Wheel, but before we engage with that type of change, I am going to ask the cards just what we were supposed to learn with 2016? I drew 3 cards to focus on the lessons learnt. Card 1 is for The Best Part of 2016: The Ace of Arrows: The Breath of Life Card 2 is for What The Heck did we learn from 2016: Major 11 ~ The Woodward Card 3 is for Why We Had To Learn from 2016: Major 17 ~ The Pole Star The Best Part…

America, what will happen when the election is over? This is a question with so many ramifications, its tricky to answer! What will happen to America after this election? Watching the American election, or even keeping a slight track on it and you cannot help but ask the question: What will happen once the circus is over? No doubt the circus will find a way to hop on over the UK, it usually does. When the dust settles, when the clowns have gone home, what will happen then? I asked The Wildwood what might happen. The Reading: The first card out was the Three of Arrows. To me, this is saying that some (okay, probably fair to say that half) aren’t going to like the final result. America will speak & the loudest, most popular voices will be heard and acted upon. There will be some who will wonder what the heck happened. Well, sorry America, Britain has been there with Brexit. What it means for us, Goddess only knows, it’s dragging us around like a ball and chain. What it’ll mean for you guys, well, it’s going to hurt half of you, whichever one gets into the Oval Office. The second was Major…
Here I am, emerging from the sabbatical I took away from technology & life. Returning to nature is always something that my soul sings out for when I find myself in a rut. Like the Pole Star, I’m emerging to a more social aspect of my nature, after a good few weeks away. Life gets hectic. Jobs, kids, schools, family: it can drain us. I took my two-week return to nature earlier than normal, because of plans I am involved with at the end of the month, meant I could not be away then. It turns out, that I needed the recharge then and not later on. I can always take another “break” later! Coming back to my home life, the work schedule etc. reminds me of this Wildwood Image; The Pole Star. I’ve been in those woods, Wales is full of them. I’ve been in a tent and heard the sounds of foxes playing close by. The kids have heard owls hooting in the night, seen red kites swoop and swoosh over our heads at Bwlch Nant Yr Arian (over a hundred, beautiful, majestic birds). We have felt the chill of nature in our supposed “summer” months, walked, explored,…
It’s time to say good-bye to the one and only, Goblin King. The Star Man has returned to the cosmic dust from which we all come from. It was rather shocking, hearing it on the radio as I got the kids up and dressed Monday morning just gone. So much so, the eldest child hugged me, not quite sure what to do with a mum who suddenly went into slight shock! The best memories I have of him are as the Goblin King in Labyrinth. The best song, has to be, this: Dance Magic. He was superb in this movie and I often wondered why he wouldn’t or didn’t do any others. He was in a few movies, as I now find out, but before Jack Sparrow, Captain Hook or anyone else, there was Bowie. (Before him, was Rutger Hauer, but that’s something different) He was forever reinventing himself and his persona, he changed his power up, down, sideways and every way to get his point across. He was, in my mind, a total magician, genius and it turns out, he may have been designing his own Tarot deck. I now wish he’d had the time to publish it. I…
Today we have the hope of the Pole Star to journey through. Given the events in Boston, Massachusetts on Monday. Hope seems to be the order for the next few days. The events in Boston on Monday the 15th came as a shock to most of the World. What was even more surprising was the speed at which the World found out. Yes, the news channels covered the events, however, I find the news depressing and soul-destroying (you hardly hear good news), so I never normally watch those channels. It was Twitter, Facebook and the art of social media that alerted most of the waking world to the events unfolding in that state, myself included. Before that, I had already pulled the Pole Star card and the Resolution outcome card from 1000 Spreads and with that event unfolding, I knew part of what this card’s insight was and what this mid-week blog post was going to be about. At the moment, the reason for the tragic events of Monday are not clear. There’s a lot of theory and not a lot of public fact but a heck of a lot of speculation and finger-pointing, which is not doing anyone any…
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 weekend card, so please do enjoy! The image shows a human, probably The Wanderer, emerging from a dark forest to see that the stars and the moon are in a rotating pattern above their head. The Universal Lore that created us is at work on our behalf, so be careful what you wish for, you might just get it but it might not be what you need. Wish for what you need instead, let your intuition speak to you and follow its path. There is a new era or path now open to you that maybe wasn’t before. I love these signs, these direction changes in life. We all need them, the straight road, or the motor/free way is SO tedious when it just stretches out before you for miles and miles and miles. There are times when we need the straight roads, especially after…
Today The Wildwood reminds us to keep our hopes alive and to remember that every once in a while, we need to look up and take stock and look at the bigger picture. This deck has not ceased to stop amazing me with its hints, suggestions and tips. However, it’s very apt, synchronistic and timely: I just love it! Does it show? As The Wanderer emerges from The Wildwood,he glances up to see that the Pole Star shines down upon them, sending the rest of the stars into a spiral of support, a reminder that something or someone, somewhere, has a large amount of spiritual hope and will guide you. Part of The Wanderers ramblings is to work through The Wildwood and work out his own path through it. That means taking turns here, going backwards there, getting lost, finding your way again (as they have just done in this card) and remembering that the laws that created the Universe in which we reside, also formed us. Since The Pole Star is a card of hope, spiritual fulfilment, encouragement, direction, inspirational understanding and knowledge, I say this: I hope that for the future, we truly do become equal with each…
Today the Pole Star comes out to join us, and like the Wanderer coming out of the darkened forest to the bright lights of the stars that now swirl all around him, realisation dawns. I feel that it should be something epic that I finally understand but in truth, I just feel calmer, as if someone’s turned the light on and is leaving me to work out what I am now seeing and feeling I get that the Pole Star is representing / talking about Universal Law, that what you send out comes back to you three-fold. It could be manifesting on an individual level or permeating through a web of circumstances in which we find ourselves. Like the Dog Star from songs, Sirius, we’re guided by a bright light in the sky, it’s a guide, a way to . Often I have stared up at the stars and wondered “What secrets are you holding? What can’t you tell me but that I need to know?” The truth is, the answer(s) lie within, they are always within, but sometimes we need a higher guidance to realise the inner knowledge and have the inspiration that we need to get through the…
Today on this Tuesday, we have another Major following on from yesterday’s brilliant new start, it’s the Pole Star, Major 17. The Pole Star is the card of wishes, internal dreams, answers from the cosmos and a dose of fate. As you emerge from the darkness of the woodlands of life, you lift your head up and you find yourself in a clearing with the stars swimming around, focusing on you. So, what do you want to do? Where do you want to go? What are your hopes and dreams? If you have not worked on them recently, it would be a good idea perhaps, to spend a little time on them today and work out what they are. It is also a card of intuition, using it, developing it, trusting it. Have you been doing that of late? If not, I feel you should spend some time on it. So, that is our job for today. I have a list of things to do that is a mile long, so I will see you during the day when I am back on-line and if you need my services at any point, I am here.
