Daily Divination April 11/16 ~ Now Ground It!!

Todays Daily Divination came up completely with Earth! A 2 card spread from my own Patch-Deck, which I’ve been carrying around with me since before I even knew what Tarot cards were!

The two cards are the Ace of Disks and the 2 of Disks. 1 and 2, the beginning of the Spiral. These cards follow the main theme of both the Rider decks and the Thoth deck, so the readings for it will be the same across the board. The core message here? GROUND IT!! Take everything that’s happened, everything that you’ve learned over this past weekend, and GROUND it and make it real. Bring your learnings down to the physical realm!

Lets have a look at it shall we?

ground that change!

The Ace of Disks is all about the essence of the physical itself. It is something physically present, or the possibility of something physical about to transpire. Nevertheless, it is tangible in nature, not necessarily relating to the mind or the heart, but the physical causality of the third dimension.

The 2 of Disks on the other hand, is all about change. When you have motion in the physical realm, change is pretty much a given. In fact, the basis of physical reality IS change. Everything physical is simply changing its form, or location, or something about it over time. If you make yourself a food, you are gathering ingredients, changing them into a combined thing, and changing them again in your belly. If you’re going somewhere, you’re changing the location around you.

What are you going to do about it?

We’ve all had one hell of a past week. This weekend in particular hit a lot of people with some very big realizations and universal truths, sometimes the medicine being hard to take, other times it flowing very smoothly.

What we must do now is GROUND this energy and make it real. Don’t just say “Oh yeah I learned something” and go on with your life, but really contemplate what you learned, and APPLY IT to your life! This is how we change the world. This is how we bring great change to our lives.

Change is a universal constant, and if we can observe the change in the physical, we can be the changers of it, instead of subject to it. That is however, sometimes a given as well, which is why we have the yin/yang energy very present in this, because just as much as we create change, change is also a part of nature, and sometimes we have no control over the things that change around us.

Times themselves are changing, the way that people are living are changing.

And big things are on the horizon.

Go with peace,

Daily Divination April 9/16 – The Conflict and Balance of Passion and Emotion

Yesterdays reading was a very powerful one. Things are changing, and so we change with it!

As we do, new energies come into our lives and provoke new actions and thoughts towards the things that transpire in our lives.

Today is just one of those days, where we sit and reflect upon the multi-lateral energies of the Queen of Wands. The union of Water and Fire, but where instead of extinguish each other, they create a powerful, yet unstable consciousness.

The Queen of Wands is the Watery aspect of Fire. The emotional aspect to the spiritual, firey passion inside. She is the combination of two contrasts, thus contains both the loving, understanding and sympathy that comes with water, and the pride, passion, inspiration, and powerful independence of fire.

Due to this imbalance, however, we find ourselves easily shifting from Yin to Yang, from Dark to Light, and from Light to Dark. It is easy to become hot-tempered, revengeful, overbearing and possessive, taking small things and blowing them up to a great grudge for a much longer time than necessary.

It is the firey aspect that causes us to not want to forgive, but the water that soothes the heart and nurtures the awareness with a motherly love.

In this space, we miss the stability of earth, and the logic of the air…  This is all about passion and emotion.

If we can find a balance between these two things, today will be a wonderful day.

 

Much love!

Daily Divination ~ A Tidal Wave of Emotion

Yesterday I was fortunate to receive a new reading cloth! It’s basically a large soft handmade scarf that you use exclusively for tarot readings, and even wrapping your cards in to keep them safe. A sacred cloth, so to speak.

This was the first reading I did on this cloth. I actually pulled it in reverse, from right to left.

This reading takes place entirely in the suit of cups (emotions), and 3 of the 4 cards are Court Cards.

Have a look.

4 waters daily divination

Lets do the breakdown, in the order it was drawn.

Prince of Cups Reversed – The Mental, Observing the Emotion

This card in its reversed form is indicating turning the entire ocean upside down and it submerging the ocean in the air. The mind being overtaken by emotion, not necessarily with any action, but the complete washing over between the two spiraling realms – The Mind and the Emotions.

The King of Cups – The Male Maturity of the Emotional Realm

This card describes the embodiment of Emotions from a spiritually complete realm. Unlike the Prince, who observes the emotions from the Mind, the King now understands them mentally so well that he responds to them as they flow through him. He lives them fully, he is not restricted by them, they are a fundamental flow of his being.

The Queen of Cups – The Soul of the Water

the Queen of Cups is the Emotions herself. She is pure emotion, passion, feeling. Where the King flows emotions from the heart through his being, the Queen is the emotional security that comes from such a deep emotional connection and knowing. She is calm, intuitive, and compassionate beyond measure.

The Ace of Cups – The Impulse of Emotion!

This card is indicative of the Impulse of emotion that is the beginning of so many of our stories. When people fall in love, when love brings people together. Family, friends, relationships… These are a result of our emotions wanting something, and then realizing each other as a source of that desire, and a way to make it happen. It is the bringing together of loving energies that create the 2 of Cups – Love, the 3 of cups – Abundance, and the 4 of cups – Pleasure.

All Together

These cards, altogether, describe the flipping of youthful male energy on its head to evolve the universal consciousness of matured emotional energy. The King and Queen (Our mature selves) hold the center of the emotional realm, causing impulse of emotion itself, and the flipping around of Youthful-understandings on its head.

In the presence of a true emotional stability, it creates strength in all of those that come near it.

Practically, for you today:

Take a look at all of this symbolism and think about who they may relate to. Whether all of the aspects exist within yourself, or if there are aspects of these that are strongly connected to someone close to you or that you’ve interacted with today.

There’s a relationship between these people, and your inner emotions, as often you will find it’s both the inside, and the outside.

Take a look at those connections and meditate upon them. Think about what it means. If you are the Prince of Cups, and your going to get emotionally schooled, it’s best to flow with that large cup of emotion because it will lead to your own maturity.

If you are in the mature space to someone else who is not, and you’re flipping things on their head… Take care of them, because theres a huge whirlwind taking place for them!

And with that,

I bid you a wonderful, water filled day.

With love,
Jordan

5 Reasons Why You Should Drink Yerba Mate Instead of Coffee

Not a lot of people have even heard of Yerba Mate, that is, unless you live in South America, in which case you probably drink it more than Coffee. However, in the rest of the world it has mostly remained a novelty drink.

This is however, rapidly beginning to change, with more and more information present and available as to its magical benefits.

Here are 5 reasons to switch from Coffee, to Yerba Maté!

1. It’s stimulation lasts much longer!

Obviously, both Coffee and Yerba Mate contain Caffeine and thus cause a bodily and mental stimulation. Both contain roughly 75-80 mg of caffeine in an average cup. However, the caffeine in Yerba Mate seem to work differently.

Most research shows that the stimulation lasts much longer than Coffee, and simultaneously seems to induce a sense of wellbeing! It both stimulates you, and soothes you at the same time.

2. Antioxidants galore!

It has an extraordinarily high level of Antioxidants, which neutralize disease-causing molecules! Continue reading

Daily Divination 4/4/16 ~ Your Journey is Set!

The Eight of Airships is from one of our stranger decks, the Steampunk Tarot! I was pleasantly suprised to find so much about Hermes upon opening up the book.

Either way, this is quite a delightful little deck, and we’re going to be doing the reading based off of the image described and intuition! Here we go!

airships

This one shows a man standing on the top of a large airship, flying over the clouds towards an unknown destination. Its interesting to note that the sharp razor thin moon appears above them, also with bunch more airships on the same course as this one.

The clouds are red, and there is a bright red horizon along a purple line at the edge of the horizon. This could imply the final destination being the crown chakra, but going THROUGH the root (the physical). to get there.

The man, mounted firmly upon the top of his ship, observes the oncoming view, seeing new sights as never before.

As this is an Air card, it is represented by Mind. It might mean a new voyage of the mind, and it could literally mean going somewhere new, and experiencing new thoughts as a result of such things!

Regardless, this guy is prepared for anything!  He’s got his air canisters, his lights, binoculars, weapon, and pouch. His course is set.

Where are YOU going today?
