harm.

Fantastical Creatures Tarot by Hunt and Conway
Ace of Pentacles
Unexpected help. Accept help in a new venture whether it be personal, spiritual, or business related. Let go of your pride and open yourself up to those who you least expect help from.
This deck is a little different and doesn't necessarily follow the RW system of tarot.
For my last medication for my Journal Activity, I chose to do the Simple Meditation for Intuition. Before I started this meditation I expected to be guided to use my intuition some how. Perhaps try to envision what was in a box or on a table. Before I started I made sure that My kids were occupied and that I would not be interrupted. Once I sat down, I made sure that my feet were flat on the ground and my shoulders and arms were relaxed at my sides.
When the meditation started I was asked to ground myself. The grounding method I use is to envision roots from my body going through the earth to the core and back up again. I always love doing this as it makes me feel very connected to Gaia. Grounding itself is a very spiritual experience for me. It is like I am taking Gaia herself into my body.
After grounding I was asked to envision my aura. I always envision my aura as purple. I do not know why as I need to do some reasearch on it but it made me feel very happy to see the purple light surrounding my body. It was a foggy light. Not like light from a light bulb but more of a haze that was glowing. It was a soft purple, yet the light was very bright. It was not extended too far, maybe 1-2 feet. I did feel myself a bit lopsided while sitting here. I felt like my right side was heavier than my left side. I wonder if this has to do with my sciatic nerve pain and having to compensate for that pain when I am sitting down. The powerful energy I felt was definitely behind me, it was almost like it was trying to guide me somewhere by pushing me. It was an odd sensation as I usually feel the energy pulling me. Maybe I felt it was pushing me because I already knew where I needed to go, I just needed the extra push to get me going.
While this was very relaxing, I am not sure I understood how this was a meditation for intuition. I was a bit confused when it ended with no mention of intuition. I think I expected to be led through an intuitive process to help build my intuition. I did fall asleep a few times and jerked myself awake. I am not sure if this happens to a lot of people but it seems to happen to me a lot. I do not feel like I am envisioning anything during those few seconds of time that I doze off. I do not remember when I wake up. I then needed to re-ground myself and get back into the meditation. I am not sure if this means that I am not as intuitive as I thought I was or if I was too tired to do the meditation. I may try doing the meditation again and seeing if I get the same or different results.

Messenger Oracle by Ravynne Phelan
Be a soft place for others to rest their heads. Be a motherly figure to
those who need it. Remember that being feminine does not equal
weakness. Being feminine and keeping your fire alive is a strength!

I decided to listen to the Achieving Alpha Relaxation video by The Magical Circle School…here is my experience.
I have been sick for the last couple weeks with a head cold, and then
bronchitis. I’m also having some sciatic pain. So my experience may not
have been as relaxing as if i were in good health. I lit my incense and
sat down in front of my computer with my legs crossed, hands relaxed in
my lap, earbuds in. Then I sat waiting…waiting…waiting. I opened my eyes
to make sure that I had pushed play—I in fact did push play. More than a
minute went by and I couldn’t help but think about if my headphones
weren’t working. So, I sat and watched the picture change colors in the
video, still waiting and wondering what I was supposed to be doing.
Finally i hear a voice. It’s faint, so I turn the volume up. I was then
led in counting backwards from 10 and repeating sentences. Such as: “My
whole body is relaxed.” and “I am so relaxed that I can not feel the
weight of my body.”
By the time I was to repeat those sentences we were at number 6 and 5. I
didn’t feel too relaxed, I don’t think I felt relaxed at all. My arms
started to feel a little weightless, but other than that I didn’t really
think I was getting to an alpha state of relaxation. I kept being
brought back to the pain in my leg, my runny nose, and pain in my
chest…hence the reason why I didn’t add a picture of me meditating!
I was a little bit let down by the experience that I had. I was fully
anticipating falling asleep sitting here listening to the recording…as I
usually do when listening to something. I found it difficult to know
what I was supposed to be doing with my body and that was frustrating me
and adding to my discomfort. I couldn’t get relaxed enough to stop
moving around. I could see an aura but it was radiating from my left hip
because of the sciatica. It left me very distracted. I was unable to
block it out and completely focus on the task at hand. I couldn’t tell
what color the aura was, it was a mixture of reds and purples. I’m not
sure what that means as I don’t have experience with auras and haven’t
studied them. Nor have I ever seen them, so that was a new experience
for me.
I think next time I will play some music in the background. I think it
was the silence between guided readings that made me uneasy and feeling
like I had to fill the void. I also think that I will try this
meditation again in the morning (it was 10:30pm when I did this
meditation). Along with changing the time, I think I will do this while
still laying in bed. I will also try a different incense. Over all, I
think it was a good trial run. I was able to see what I would like to
change next time. I will be doing this same guided meditation two more
times to see if I can achieve alpha relaxation.

Growing up I wasn't introduced to any type of religion or god. The only
time I remember going to church was Sunday school with a friend...one
time...when I was 8. Fast forward several years and when I was 24 I was
baptized into the Christian church (Church of Christ). It was important
to my fiance and I had no idea there were different congregations, nor
did I really understand what Christianity was about.
I never really felt that it was the right path for me but I knew it was
important to my husband and I didn't feel an aversion to it, so I stayed
with it. Now, almost 12 years later, I feel that I need to follow my
path; not someone else's.
I've always felt different spiritually but I never knew what to call it.
I was recently talking with an online friend and she introduced me to
paganism and Wicca. I was intrigued! The more I read the more it felt
like home.
So, here I am. Newly on my Pagan path...out of the broom closet to my
friends and family. My husband is being as supportive as he can be. I
haven't felt complete peace in a long while...it's been so nice!
🇺🇸 president.
