August 2022 Musings... NEXT Killing Moon Karmic Reversal 30-Day Intensive: 26th Aug NEXT Luring Moon Abundance 30-Day Intensive: 10th Sept Elemental Pentagram Course Offer Article - The Pentagram & Magic Circle as Energy Healing Tools Mayastar Mantra-Waves Meditation on YouTube: “By the Light of the Violet Flame, I Ascend” Deviant Art Gallery - Updated In Aug 15th August 2022…Welcome back to my cosy corner of the internet. Here, I select a tarot deck each week from my extensive collection to elucidate the ethers, and scry the shifting celestial tides on behalf of the collective. These readings are not aimed at any particular person; and you are meant to them at the time their guidance is most relevant to you; so please take only what resonates with you, and leave the rest behind. My musings are intended to inspire, uplift and guide you on your healing journey. I’ve chosen the Star Tarot for our medium today. This deck features magickal & shamanic imagery that I find perfect for not only divination but also for pathworking & ritual practices. The rich symbolism is evocative & deep, allowing exploration of the archetypes from new angles. I’m sure it will be a powerful translator of the numinous for us. So, sit back, relax your shoulders, take a sip of chamomile tea, exhale deeply, and let’s explore… The dominant energetic influence we can tap into over the coming week for the purpose of progressing the spiritual journey & pursuing the path to wholeness is reflected in the Justice card. This card is about maintaining a dispassionate stance & not getting drawn into the drama. This may be a week to take a step back to avoid being swept up in other people’s problems. Stay in your lane & pursue your plans. Work quietly & methodically. Not everyone needs to know what you’re doing! Healthy boundaries help you maintain your balance & retain your inner peace. The second card identifies the potential opposition we may face in pursuit of the promises of the first card. And this week, this comes in the form of The Prince of Wands. This is in no way a negative card, but in this position we’re looking at the shadow-aspect of the archetype. The Prince of Wands can have problems with impulse control – which could block you from maintaining your cool, calm approach this week. This archetype also suggests problems might arise from ignoring red flags, or trying to see the good in people to an unhealthy extent. Be mindful of who you connect with this week. And now we turn to the daily cards for the week-ahead. These cards depict & define the archetypal energetic influences we can harness to optimise our personal power & increase our inspiration in the coming days.

Here, I select a tarot deck each week from my extensive collection to elucidate the ethers, and scry the shifting celestial tides on behalf of the collective. These readings are not aimed at any particular person; and you are meant to them at the time their guidance is most relevant to you; so please take only what resonates with you, and leave the rest behind. My musings are intended to inspire, uplift and guide you on your healing journey. I’ve chosen the White Sage Tarot for our medium today. This is a nature-based deck with “pip” style cards – which means, with the exception of the court & major arcana, the cards have limited symbolism to draw from. This means it’s not necessarily a good beginner deck – but if you’re immersed & well-versed in the traditional meanings of the cards, pip decks can provide an opportunity for you to fortify your knowledge of the archetypes. I’m sure it will be a powerful translator of the numinous for us. So, sit back, relax your shoulders, take a sip of chamomile tea, exhale deeply, and let’s explore… The dominant energetic influence we can tap into over the coming week for the purpose of progressing the spiritual journey & pursuing the path to wholeness is reflected in The Chariot. This card indicates remission of the obstacles that have been impeding progress recently. Opportunities for progress & personal advancement are now open. Your skills can take you the rest of the way if you harness them & step forward with courage & confidence. Make sure you listen to your intuition throughout the week because important guidance that allows you to avoid repeating problems you encountered in the past echoes in your dreams & meditations. The second card identifies the potential opposition we may face in pursuit of the promises of the first card. And this week, this comes in the form of The Hermit. This is in no way a negative card, but in this position we’re looking at the shadow-aspect of the archetype. This week, seeking within might block our attempts to seek without. Greater progress can be made if we focus on looking for opportunities for growth outside of ourselves this week. If you’ve a tendency to isolate yourself or be very self-sufficient, unless you’re looking for the openings outside of yourself, you might miss out. Routines can be powerful ways to change your life – but avoid becoming “stuck in your ways”. And now we turn to the daily cards for the week-ahead. These cards depict & define the archetypal energetic influences we can harness to optimise our personal power & increase our inspiration in the coming days. Monday 8th August 2022…7 of Pentacles…When you’ve done all you can do, it’s time to rest & patiently await the fruits of your labour. Maintain your highest intentions for yourself while you wait to smooth the path to sumptuous success. The Universe reminds you that balance means working when there’s work to do, but resting when there’s not. Affirm: “The future is refined & aligned with hope & happiness” Tuesday 9th August 2022…2 of Pentacles…Go with the flow today because things may not go as intended & greater opportunities for healing & growth can come from a change of plans. Trust in yourself to adapt & overcome. Seamlessly move between the tasks of the day with calm, cool confidence. The Universe reminds you that progress is impossible without change. Affirm: “All is working out & working well” Wednesday 10th August 2022…Queen of Cups…Centre yourself around peace & carve out some space for healing. Show yourself some kindness today! Indulge in a relaxing bath ritual or contemplate the myriad expressions of love in the world around you during your meditations. The Universe reminds you that you are made of magick & magnificence – so expect a magickal life. Affirm: “I expand into my miraculous majesty” Thursday 11th August 2022…3 of Cups…If there’s no obvious cause for celebration, celebrate being alive today! Share your gratitude with those around you & embrace every opportunity to dance your happy dance. Life is beautiful, bountiful & beneficent – so smile till your face aches! The Universe reminds you that “thank you” is the perfect prayer. Affirm: “I am grateful for all that I have been, all that I am & all that I will be” Friday 12th August 2022…Queen of Pentacles…An abundance of love & luxury surrounds you. Find your grounding in pleasure & practicality. Tidy the house, finish a project or work on a hobby. The ordinary rituals of life can be sanctified by the magick you bring to them. The Universe reminds you that every eventuality can be enhanced by good intentions. Affirm: “I hope & intend a life of consummate comfort & completeness” Saturday 13th August 2022…Ace of Cups…Allow hope to set your soul on fire & dare to make a heart-felt wish today. Inspire yourself by uncompromisingly visualising the future you truly desire. The Universe reminds you that divine forces are always conspiring in your favour & aligning yourself with them through positive thinking makes miracles manifest. Affirm: “I attract abundance & accomplishment. I align, align, align” Sunday 14th August 2022…5 of Pentacles…Steer your mind away from focus on lack & limitation. Sometimes things are less than ideal & sometimes things are downright diabolical. But you don’t need to feed the fire by focusing on your fears! The Universe reminds you that you find what you’re looking for in life, so look for the light. Affirm: “I pursue my progress with courage & confidence” 1st August 2022…Welcome back to my cosy corner of the internet. Here, I select a tarot deck each week from my extensive collection to elucidate the ethers, and scry the shifting celestial tides on behalf of the collective. These readings are not aimed at any particular person; and you are meant to them at the time their guidance is most relevant to you; so please take only what resonates with you, and leave the rest behind. My musings are intended to inspire, uplift and guide you on your healing journey. I’ve chosen the Guardian of the Night Tarot for our medium today. This is a new deck to my collection & I’m already deeply bonded to its nature-centric & animal-based beauty! It’s rich in symbolism & because of that, I found it highly readable straight out of the box. I’m sure it will be a powerful translator of the numinous for us. So, sit back, relax your shoulders, take a sip of chamomile tea, exhale deeply, and let’s explore… The dominant energetic influence we can tap into over the coming week for the purpose of progressing the spiritual journey & pursuing the path to wholeness is reflected in the King of Pentacles. This card reminds us to connect with our sense of gratitude this week, by appreciating & luxuriating in the demonstrations of abundance around us. Abundance isn’t only about financial or material success; it’s also about developing meaningful connections with people, enjoying our hobbies, occupying our time in ways that nourish the spirit & nurture our growth. Ground yourself deeply in your life by taking in the majesty & magick that surrounds you. Love yourself. Love your life! The second card identifies the potential opposition we may face in pursuit of the promises of the first card. And this week, this comes in the form of the Knight of Pentacles. This is in no way a negative card, but in this position we’re looking at the shadow-aspect of the archetype. The Knight of Pentacles is about planning, organising & laying the groundwork. He’s all about working smarter not harder. So in shadow, this card might point to a lack of planning – or too much planning. If you have no plans at all, you may lack the context in life to be able to appreciate where you are right now. If you make a lot of plans, but never put them into action, the same problem might occur but from a different direction. This week, be mindful of your planning & try to strike a healthy balance. And now we turn to the daily cards for the week-ahead. These cards depict & define the archetypal energetic influences we can harness to optimise our personal power & increase our inspiration in the coming days. Monday 1st August 2022…Queen of Pentacles…Life surrounds you with cosiness & comfort when you appreciate the healing haven of hearth & home. Create an oasis for yourself by surrounding yourself with things that make you feel good. Transform the mundane into the sacred through deep appreciation today. The Universe reminds you that home is where the heart is. Affirm: “Healing & happiness are at home in my heart” Tuesday 2nd August 2022…3 of Wands…Set yourself up for success. Scan the horizon for indications of impending opportunity today! Attract what you truly desire by maintaining your high hopes & waiting patiently for your ship to come in, because it’s already on its way. The Universe reminds you that optimism outpaces your limitations. Affirm: “I am aligned with positive & progressive change” Wednesday 3rd August 2022…7 of Pentacles…Stop waiting for everything to fall into place! Things are in place & the world is ready for you! If you don’t appreciate the perfection of your unique & majestic self, draw confidence from knowing that your excellence is esteemed by your spiritual support team. The Universe reminds you are a spiritual being having a human experience. Affirm: “I expand with the universal unfolding. I exceed…exceed…exceed” Thursday 4th August 2022…5 of Swords…Competition can muster motivation; but maintain hope for the success & happiness of those you compete with to avoid conflict. Everyone is a winner at being themselves & living their own life – including you! The Universe reminds you that the only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday. Affirm: “I accept my wholeness & express my soulness” Friday 5th August 2022…Strength…Trust in your ability to respond to life precisely & properly in each moment; trust yourself to discover the next right step from wherever you are, whenever you are.

I awaken” Saturday 6th August 2022…9 of Wands…Healthy boundaries create room for your soul to shine. Prioritise meeting your own needs today.
