June 2022 Musings...Article - Archangel Raphael: Patron of Healers & LightworkersDeviant Art Gallery - Updated In June27th June 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 Chrysalis Tarot for our mystical meanderings today. This deck has a unique format with stones, mirror, spirals & scrolls representing the four elements, and titled archetypes representing the court cards. This adds layers of meaning & depth to the traditional interpretations & allows me to intuitively draw from an abundance of symbolism. 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 8 of Spirals/Wands. This card encourages us to be open to the possibilities as good things are on their way! Expect rapid changes & shifts in areas of stagnation. If you feel inspired to create something, this is your week to align with the potent manifesting force of Universal Abundance – so allow yourself to be guided by your intuition. This card is subtitled “Answers” and reminds us that often the solutions to our problems are available to us, but we’re not ready to receive them unless we’re ready to make changes to our lives. Align yourself with new possibilities this week by embracing change.The second card identifies the potential opposition we may face in pursuit of the promises of the first card. And this week, this is reflected in the 7 of Mirrors/Cups. This is not necessarily a negative card, but in this position, we’re looking at the shadowed aspect it. And in shadow, this card hints at potential procrastination through daydreaming, lack of focus & difficulty committing to your decisions. This card indicates scattering your energy this week could result in nothing getting achieved! It’s not a good week to “coast” – but it promises to be a great week for those with fixed plans & firm intentions. Be careful not to overcommit yourself. 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 27th June 2022…5 of Cups…Heartbreak can create space for healing if you take a step back & gain perspective by grounding yourself in the present moment.

Appreciate the lessons of the past that allowed you to become an inspired expression of your unique divinity. The Universe reminds you that you’re exquisitely enchanting & loved by the source of your light. Affirm: “With the dawning of a new day, I appreciate my wholeness & the restoration of my heart”Wednesday 29th June 2022…King of Cups…Keep your grounding in order to interpret the whisperings of your intuition today. Your soul knows the way forward & offers you guidance through repeating symbols. Feeling your connection to the earth allows you to translate the numinous into something tangible & useful. The Universe reminds you that spiritual wisdom is revealed in silence. Affirm: “My intuition is the torch that lights my path. I listen to my soul”Thursday 30th June 2022…6 of Cups…Let your wildness shine through today! Embrace your eccentricity & explore your strangeness. Allow yourself to be as natural an adult as you were a child. Find healing through self-expression. Dance, sing, paint & find the fun.

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 Sasuraibito Tarot for our mystical meanderings today. This deck has modern interpretations of the cards, but stays true to the traditional meanings. The artwork is stunning – and I particularly love the characters for the court cards in this deck – they really draw you in & express the personalities of the archetypes beautifully. 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 Lovers card. This particular version of the Lovers card expresses self-love & the acceptance & integration of the shadow self – which is an essential part of the healing journey. The presence of this card indicates opportunities for progress on the spiritual path through processing difficult experiences from the past. A good journaling exercise that might get you started, is to conjure up in your mind a version of yourself from a difficult time in the past & then write out an imaginary conversation between yourself now (older and wiser), & yourself then. This can help you to recognise how you’ve changed & grown. It can also help you to appreciate the progress you’ve made. Facing the past can be difficult though – setting aside time to give yourself some energy healing before or after your journaling explorations may help you maintain your grounding & equilibrium. The Crystal Rose, Quan Yin’s Compassionate Heart Healing, Light Sanctuary Activation & Lotus Fountain Healing would all be good options for this.The second card identifies the potential opposition we may face in pursuit of the promises of the first card. And this week, the brilliant news is that there is no anticipated opposition to the healing opportunities the Lovers represents. In fact, the presence of the 9 of Cups in this position, & the unique expression of the archetype in this deck, emphasises the potency of self-love & self-care rituals at this time. This energetic current recommends us to focus on a sense of self-acceptance, satisfaction & satiety as our standard. Whatever you’re doing or however you choose to tap into the current energetic influences, keeping your mind centred on the goal of achieving contentment, comfort & calm within will help you to choose the best ways & means to show yourself some love 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.Monday 20th June 2022…The High Priestess…Dip your toes into the waters of the unconscious by exploring your feelings, heeding your hunches & increasing your intuition through meditation. Loving light speaks to your soul & supports you as you pursue your highest ideals. The Universe reminds you that you’re not alone & are always loved. Affirm: “I am a Child of the Universe. Peace is my path. Love is my legacy.”Tuesday 21st June 2022…Justice…Words can hurt, harm & hinder. Be careful how you talk to yourself today. Be considerate of your feelings & be fair to yourself. Things aren’t as black & white as they seem & you’re doing brilliantly! The Universe reminds you that you’re an extraordinary person, just like everyone else! Affirm: “A limitless source of goodness & greatness suffuses my soul”Wednesday 22nd June 2022…The Magician…Your skills & savvy come to the fore today.

Affirm: “I am authentically aligned with abundance & expansion”Thursday 23rd June 2022…The Hanged Man…Take a pause to appreciate your progress & assimilate your achievements.

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 Dreaming Way Tarot for our mystical meanderings today. This deck includes traditional Rider-Waite symbolism but with a modern take – and a lot of the characters depicted remind me of people I know which makes it a great deck for my personal readings too. 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 6 of Cups. This is the card of the inner-child & expresses our innocence & nostalgic yearnings for simpler times. In this position, the 6 of Cups encourages us to explore the world & encounter life without cynicism, self-doubt & pessimism clouding our experience. A good way to tap into this potent current in order to progress the healing journey is to set aside some time for “play” or “fun”. Allocate time to deliberately focus on something enjoyable & spiritually nourishing so that you can set aside your adult worries for a fixed period. What would your inner-child like to do? Perhaps a walk in the rain would be fun. Maybe you could make a daisy chain or pick some flowers to arrange. Or spend an evening doing some colouring or artwork & listening to music that uplifts your spirit. Be kind to yourself & show yourself some love this week.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 5 of Swords. This card cautions us against catastrophising, worrying & focusing on the glass-half-empty. It reminds us that arguments & misunderstandings often come from unresolved internal conflict. If we leave the house feeling negative about ourselves, we’re liable to project those negative judgements onto others or express ourselves badly. Getting caught up in restrictive beliefs, assumptions & criticisms could hinder happiness & impede inspiration this week so pay attention to your thoughts.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 13th June 2022…Page of Cups…Tune into the whispers of your heart today because your soul is speaking to you in the silence between words. If you feel positive for no apparent reason, go with it & don’t second guess yourself. The Universe reminds you that your intuition doesn’t lie. Listen to yourself & trust your feelings. Affirm: “I am continuously connected to my divine source”Tuesday 14th June 2022…3 of Cups…Don’t hold back your happy dance today! Raise a glass to the fates. Acknowledge the bounteous blessings & endless enchantment expressed in your life by celebrating & sharing your gratitude with friends. The Universe reminds you that everything & everybody is a miraculous manifestation of love. Affirm: “I am grateful for all I have, all I am & all I love”Wednesday 15th June 2022…King of Swords…You are the master of your destiny! Your words have power & your thoughts become things. Meditation can help you to align your mind & integrate your inspiration. Today, be conscious of your direction because your progress towards your goals is assured. The Universe reminds you that your magick manifests in the present moment. Affirm: “I am present in peace, power & purpose”Thursday 16th June 2022…7 of Wands…Your position is elevated by your experiences.

Affirm: “My audacity aligns me with my dreams & destiny”Friday 17th June 2022…Page of Wands…Set aside some time for self-indulgence today. Taking pleasure in life’s blessings can help you to ground yourself. Inspire gratitude for the greatness & gifts you possess by expressing yourself in new ways. The Universe reminds you that life is not a competition - but you can win at life by being true to yourself. Affirm: “I accept my unique constellation & shine”Saturday 18th June 2022…Ace of Cups…Allow your imagination to stretch a little because more is possible!

The Universe reminds you the miraculous unfolding of magick in your life is infinite & incredible. Affirm: “My soul is open to boundless blessings”Sunday 19th June 2022…Queen of Swords…Disconnect from the drama & spend some time in silent, sacred meditation to gain insight into whatever’s been worrying you. Switch off notifications for a few hours & unwind your mind. The Universe reminds you bringing your consciousness to your breath can create the energetic space for inspiration to strike. Affirm: “I let go of problems to make way for solutions”This concludes our mystical musings for the week-ahead. I hope you’ve enjoyed your time with me today, and that you’ll come back again soon. Have a beautiful week! I wish you peace, prosperity & progress in all you do.With blessings.6th June 2022…I’ve chosen The Sun & Moon Tarot for our mystical meanderings today. This deck features traditional Thoth symbolism and meanings with modern artwork, vibrant colours & evocative scenes. 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 Prince of Pentacles. For me, this is always the card for healing work & self-supporting spiritual practices like journaling, yoga & meditation. Its presence in this position indicates opportunities for deep healing, soul-cleansing & awakening to new realities. But specifically, the Prince of Pentacles reminds us to look to ourselves for solutions & sustenance. Create space for yourself to unwind & fully relax in order to bring yourself back to your body. Dedicate extra time to your spiritual practice this week & prioritise your self-care rituals. Avoid multitasking as much as possible to help you slow down your thoughts & align with the present moment. Your keywords this week are: relaxation, restoration & replenishment. 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 Princess of Wands. This isn’t a negative card but in this position, we’re looking at the shadow aspects of the archetype. And this indicates the biggest impediment we face this week is a tendency to invest ourselves in too many things at once. If you find yourself moving from project to project without completing anything, or procrastinating by spending too much time mulling over the options without making a decision, this card is warning you to be careful this week! Slow down & align with the Prince of Pentacles as an antidote to fickleness.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 6th June 2022…2 of Pentacles…Maintain your focus. There’s a lot going on right now & too many demands on your attention could lead to burnout. Concentrate on the task at hand & pause to take a breath before moving to the next task. The Universe reminds you that magick is found in the space between things. Today, magnificence multiplies in the margins.Tuesday 7th June 2022…8 of Wands…The Universe conspires in your favour. Brilliance burgeons & fortune flows. Stay aligned with your high ideals & ambitions as miracles manifest with lightning speed. The Universe reminds you that you are the co-creator of your life & that your attention determines your direction. Choose your path with precision & pursue progress with passion. Unseen forces empower & encourage you.Wednesday 8th June 2022…The Hierophant…Ancient wisdom informs your journey. Working with techniques like meditation & energy healing can help you to awaken your inner shaman in order to tap into reserves of ancestral spiritual power. The Universe reminds you that aligning with tradition can help you to pursue progressive paths. You are guided & protected by your spiritual family & light-centric beings of limitless love.Thursday 9th June 2022…Prince of Cups…Explore the depth & majesty of your heart by identifying expressions of love in your life today.

Gratitude paves the way for future triumph & removes the obstacles of cynicism & entitlement.

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 Dreaming Way Tarot for our mystical meanderings today. This deck includes traditional Rider-Waite symbolism but with a modern take – and a lot of the characters depicted remind me of people I know which makes it a great deck for my personal readings too. 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 6 of Cups. This is the card of the inner-child & expresses our innocence & nostalgic yearnings for simpler times. In this position, the 6 of Cups encourages us to explore the world & encounter life without cynicism, self-doubt & pessimism clouding our experience. A good way to tap into this potent current in order to progress the healing journey is to set aside some time for “play” or “fun”. Allocate time to deliberately focus on something enjoyable & spiritually nourishing so that you can set aside your adult worries for a fixed period. What would your inner-child like to do? Perhaps a walk in the rain would be fun. Maybe you could make a daisy chain or pick some flowers to arrange. Or spend an evening doing some colouring or artwork & listening to music that uplifts your spirit. Be kind to yourself & show yourself some love this week.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 5 of Swords. This card cautions us against catastrophising, worrying & focusing on the glass-half-empty. It reminds us that arguments & misunderstandings often come from unresolved internal conflict. If we leave the house feeling negative about ourselves, we’re liable to project those negative judgements onto others or express ourselves badly. Getting caught up in restrictive beliefs, assumptions & criticisms could hinder happiness & impede inspiration this week so pay attention to your thoughts.And now we turn to the daily cards for the week-ahead.

For me, this is always the card for healing work & self-supporting spiritual practices like journaling, yoga & meditation. Its presence in this position indicates opportunities for deep healing, soul-cleansing & awakening to new realities. But specifically, the Prince of Pentacles reminds us to look to ourselves for solutions & sustenance. Create space for yourself to unwind & fully relax in order to bring yourself back to your body.
