I am offering readings for a short period of time just before Yule, in time to hear what’s coming through and what needs to meet with the light ahead. 

Customised and personalised to your questions at the end of this difficult year. Big changes coming and shifts are about to take place. 

I will use a mixture of tools, creative techniques and most of all my intuition to bring messages to you from the source and your higher self.

Message me!

The 4th card in a reading

download

I have come to some big insights over this weekend and I feel exhausted emotionally and physically. As part of my process I worked with Tarot cards and found it particularly illuminating this time around. It has something to do with the actual deck, I suspect, as one must resonate with the maker and energy that cards transmit. This deck feels very powerful, authentic, honest and crystal clear.

Having pulled three cards over the course of this recent psycho-spiritual process work and I wanted to complete the process with the fourth card. When doing 3-cards readings I am always drawn to pull one more card to complete, three cards always feels incomplete or resolute somehow. It does feel right to me and makes sense.

Number four, when we work with dreams, e.g. or any other spiritual realm like Elemental realm where there are four elements, is the number of completion and, perhaps, my being likes to complete each cycle in this way and the fourth card is a way of doing that for me. It works like this, e.g.

1 card – where we are coming from

2 card – what we are feeling

3 card – why and how this is manifesting

You see, to me, this is not yet complete, therefore

4 card – what is to do to move forward, what does a forward movement/energy looks and feels like

It made me laugh out loud when I pulled the fourth card just now. It is brutally honest, open and basically telling me there is no other way to progress, but to be ME, to stick with ME and get to those insights that are all within me, pull all the resources together to unveil what is unseen. Yes, Mam, I almost feel like saying, but easier said than done, right, nevertheless it is so refreshing to have it confirmed that there is only way forward no matter how hard or impossible it might seem.

Reveal the Mystery card – a confirmation of the universe ready with offering an answer to my question. All I have to do is ask. I love it.

Archetypes and Tarot

magician

Archetypes are energies, which flow and become present through the channel of collective unconscious. They are energies, which enter into our experiences to give us clues to who we are in a multidensional sense and what aspect of ourselves needs attention. It is often interesting through intuitive guidance to observe in another or feel in yourself a certain response or a behaviour, which can somewhat align with a certain archetypal energy. It can be confusing or unclear what is happening and what a course of action should be. Archetypes are powerful forces, which can throw things out of balance unless one focuses on its purpose and directly address their significance in a certain situation or generally in daily interactions.

I have come up with a 1 Card Archetypal Tarot reading, which looks at Major arcana cards from an archetypal point of view and their attributes, e.g. what mental, emotional, physical and spiritual attributes a certain energy is carrying for the receiver of the reading. We all have an archetypal personality attributes, if you like and we all will have our own distinctive way of thinking, feeling, behaving and being.

In the deck that I use there are 22 Archetypes. We are all part of one whole and I strongly believe in ‘wholeness’ of each personality. The universal person expresses all 22 Archetypes personality styles. Each of us is a mosaic of these characteristics.

The way I work with cards is by utilising my intuition, which means when I have a strong feeling about something or sense a particular energy I might move away from traditional interpretations of some cards (I also include those) and using my intuitive guidance and sense to tap into information, which might be relevant to a person in a particular situation rather than in a general sense. I follow a belief that one aspect would have different interpretations for different people, i.e. no one card has one meaning for all participants, not always. My Tarot readings, therefore, are a combination of traditional interpretations and intuitive information.

Traditionally archetypal cards are read through linking the numbers on an archetype card with corresponding attributes cards – Cups (emotional attributes), World (physical experiences), Crystals (mental attributes) and Wands (spiritual aspects). For example, The Empress III archetype card would correspond with your emotional aspects represented in 3 of Cups (love of creation, Venus, nurturing love, etc.). 3 of Crystals would mean that you possess the mentality of creativity and give birth to ideas, etc. There are links that are made between all attributes in relation to the archetype present for you.

An archetypal Tarot card reading can throw light on what aspects of yourself need attention and what archetypal energies are around you and also where you are in the Fool’s journey in a more traditional sense. Tapping into them can be beneficial to the process you are in currently. To give you an example, one of my archetypes, which has been around for a while (an elegant Lady – I associate this archetype with the Fortune card). It represents old values and behaviours, rules and moral codes (these are my personal intuitive interpretations). In a wider, more general sense of the card it relates to wealth and opportunity and how I see it and been affected by abundance or the opposite vibration of ‘lack of’.

I hope you find this information interesting and will explore archetypal energies for yourself through Tarot card readings I offer.
