Tarot Card of the Week – The Fool

mythic-fool

Tarot Card of the Week – May 27 – June 2

The Fool

In the old Mythic Tarot (and the new version as well) The Fool is depicted as the God, Dionysus, child of Zeus and a mortal woman named Semele, a princess of Thebes.

He is the God of the Grape Harvest, the God of Parties, wine making, theater and fertility.

In this picture we see Dionysus taking a risk or just about to jump off a cliff. He is invincible, nothing can touch him.

When Dionysus was just a child, Queen Hera tried to kill him, but Zeus rescued Dionysus beating heart and transformed the child in the underworld making him be reborn to the world.

The Fool in the Tarot is actually a very exciting card. It shows you have the highest potential possible in your life at this moment, when you see this card.

You have the potential to reach a state of renewal or new beginnings and when you see this card you can rest assured that your creativity, and problem solving will be at an all-time high.

Tarot Card of the Week — Two of Pentacles

Mythic2P

The Two of Pentacles for May 20-26:

In this version of The Mythic Tarot we see the skillful artist Daedalus of Greek mythology. He stands at his workbench, and holds up his two greatest inventions, the axe and the saw.  His workbench is supported by two large pentacles. (In Tarot Pentacles represent the building of wealth or the path to abundance.)

The items on the bench represent all the things he can do, giving all who see him the impression that all things are possible.

The number Two in Tarot represents a need for balance. The Two of Pentacles shows us that  you may be in a position where there are conflicting interests. You see two paths and you aren’t sure if you should complete one thing or abandoned it completely and start new.  You may also discover a need to balance work and family life.

The Two of Pentacles shows Daedalus hard at work and usually forsaking everything else but his art. You may want to rethink your position and choose the quality of life taking breaks from work to enjoy friends or family.

This card also represents the need to balance what you want to do and what you should do in your life. Just remember if you choose to do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.

Ask a Psychic: Where Do I Go From Here?

where

This week’s question comes from a client who is going through a very recent breakup.

Her boyfriend — whom we will call John — ended things with her saying that he had career opportunities in another region and did not see himself maintaining a long distance relationship.

Our client wonders whether this was the real reason he walked away or if it was just an excuse, as she suspects that his parents were not in favor of their union.

She’s now left wondering where she is to go from here? She’s seeing how she put a lot of other things aside — her own career goals for example — in order to focus her attention on the relationship with John.

A Mystic Tale about Cinco de Mayo

cinco de mayo

Thousands of years ago the great Mayan civilization built a pyramid named El Castillo (the castle, Temple of Kukulkan) to represent the folkloric legend of Snake Mountain, the place they believed all humanity came from.

El Castillo is nine stories tall, with a three-room temple on top and a stairway climbing each of the four sides. The Mayans were known as great mathematicians and astronomers and calculated each step and design of the building to represent everything they believed of their origins.

Friends with benefits ~ Is it a good idea?

Love comes in many forms and expresses itself differently with each individual in your life. It’s a wonderful thing to be able to talk comfortably with someone and share your thoughts without having to “impress.” 
That’s what friends are for, to be able to connect with them on a deep level and share a little piece of yourself with them without feeling judged or ridiculed. Friendship is a form of love that binds people, gives them joy, makes them have fun.
When there is a friendship between two people, this feeling of comfort and compatibility can take on a different level. 

Ask a Psychic: Is it Time to Move On?

This week’s question comes from a woman who was blind-sided when her live-in boyfriend pulled the plug on their relationship on the eve of their engagement.

She’s since moved out into her own place a few miles away — taking their dog with her, which is one thing that has kept the two of them in ongoing contact as they’re sharing custody for now.

She feels like her life is in limbo, despite having made new friends and gotten involved in different community events as well having taken steps to disconnect emotionally.

But it’s been hard for her as the ongoing contact makes it difficult for her to detach completely. In the meantime, she’s considering moving back to her hometown where she has a large support network of family and friends.

What if Money Were No Object?

Alan Watts, the philosopher of the 60s and 70s explains, in a short and beautiful way, what you can become or what you can do if money were no object.

But even more importantly how to live life with freedom from the constraints that society places on us.

Watts, who died in 1973, helped explain Eastern philosophy and approaches to life and being in a way that Westerners like me can understand.

His work endures today in his writings and videos that his son, Mark Watts, has preserved and shares with the world.

Better than “The Secret” this video is perfect for people who can take 10 minute break from there life and listen to Watt’s three minute talk on the subject and the incredible meditational music played by Niraj Naik.

Mastering the Art of Manifestation

Did you know that the greatest gift you have been given is your imagination?

Everything that now exists was once imagined or thought of.

In this  hour long video, Dr. Wayne Dyer explains that Law of Attraction is just a fragment of the puzzle, that the real secret is connecting to that quiet place, that place of space where everything is possible.

It may sound hard to do but it isn’t. I recently stayed up to watch one of Dr. Wayne Dyers talks on Youtube.

This talk, “Mastering the Art of Manifesting” was from his Wanderlust Festival Speakeasy appearance in Squaw Valley 2012. The Youtube video was posted a year later.

Dr. Dyer is now 74-years old and has conquered leukemia with Brickman yoga and healings from John of God.

Attract Anything with a Wishing Bundle

wishing

True mystics know that the “law of attraction”, which became so popular with the DVD “The Secret” has been practiced for centuries.

The “law of attraction” is just a scientific way for doing what ancient sages called “magic.”

The movie, “The Secret,” discusses how to manifest things in your life by using a vision board. However, in the old days, and even now, wise women and men create a  wishing bundle to help them manifest their desires.

The bundle has the same concept as a vision board, but can be even more powerful because it requires you put a bit more effort into it. The tradition of making a wishing bundle is hundreds of years old. All you have to do is gather items associated with your wish.

How to Love Your Man so He Won’t Pull Away

love your man

You may be in a relationship that just started a couple of months ago and you suddenly feel your partner is pulling away.

What can you do to keep him from drifting and get him to actually fall in love with you?

There are first a few factors to consider.

The relationship could have been purely based on chemistry and the sexual attraction is just not there anymore. Ask yourself if this guy really does it for you and if you should continue with the relationship.

He could be emotionally immature and not have enough experiences in relationships to understand how to make a relationship a success. Or he may not be that into you, he has discovered you don’t have that much in common, and you need to move on.
