Join In The Dance Of The Universe ---- Autumnal Equinox (Updated)

The first time I published this it was 2015. I have revised it for this year's Autumnal Equinox.

Autumnal Equinox 2018

September 22, 2018





   Oh the beauty of nature! As the season begins to change, our world takes on a new look, almost as if a master artist has come in and painted the walls of our home. When the days become shorter and the temperature begins to drop, everything in nature starts to shift and morph in a harmonious symphony to stay in balance with the Earth. Those species which are unable to remain in sync wither away and become food for those who will continue on, "Survival of the Fittest". How easily one transitions into the next season depends highly upon two things. The first being preparation and the second is how well they are able to adapt. 

  If you will take note you will notice that more often than not, whenever we become ill it is usually at the beginning of the season. Why is this? It is mainly because we have not prepared for the upcoming change. Every living thing must prepare. Some preparation is involuntary, like how the coats of animals change colors and become thicker before winter. Other preparations are voluntary, like when squirrels gather nuts, but for some reason most of us humans miss our cue. We do not prepare. We go from season to season with no change, no acknowledgment of what is to come, what gifts await us. To be out of sync with the flow of nature is like swimming against the current. You will waste a lot of time and energy or may even have to go all the way around to get to your destination.

  It is my hope that through this blog I can awaken your desire to reconnect with the wonders of nature to have a more fulfilling and prosperous life.

  To prepare for any seasonal change one should detox their body and prepare their home. Spring should not be the only time we thoroughly clean our homes. Before the cold nights set in, we should turn our heaters on with the windows open. This allows the dust to burn off while the house is ventilated. Our heavy blankets need to be washed or taken outside and shaken before being put back on the beds. There is much to do. It's time to get started.

  Below, I have written the information that this Autumn brings to our world. By utilizing the energies that are available to us, we will get the most out of the coming months.

 

  This year the Autumnal Equinox begins on:

Date: September 22, 2018:

  In numerology this date adds up to the number 6.       9+2+2+2+1+8= 24   2+4=6 The number 6 carries the energies of compassion, home, family, relationships of all kinds, obtaining beauty and harmony. 

Day of the Week: Saturday ruled by Saturn:

  For this year, 2018, Autumn will begin on Saturday. Saturday is ruled by the planet Saturn. Saturn gifts us with the energies of Discipline, Stability, Maturity, Apprenticeship.

Tarot Card: 

  The Tarot card that represents this energy is the 8 of Pentacles. 

  "This is a moment of hands on training or of intense study with your career or the magickal arts. Here is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a creative project such as art or writing. Being focused. disciplined, and  diligent with your project, you will put your skills to good use. By combining all of your gifts with hard work, there will be success. This is not a card of fame: this is a card that reminds you how effort, focus and creativity often bring growth, gain, and a sense of accomplishment," The Withes Tarot by Ellen Dugan.

Best Incense to Burn During Autumn:

Cedarwood - " Cedar Wood Incense "

Cedar has been burned for purification and healing rites. The Indigenous Americans and many other ancient societies burned it to remove negative energy before performing rituals. Cedar is also added to "Money" spells to increase their power.

  Burning Cedar during meditation will allow you to go deeper, it will heighten your intuition and strengthen your connection to the Divine. Burning it during prayer clears blockages so that your prayers are sent with clarity, which ensures that your answers come quickly.

Foods to Eat During Autumn:

  To keep both your physical and spiritual bodies vibrating with the rhythm of the season you MUST eat the foods that are grown and harvested at that time. To get the greatest benefit, eat as much locally grown foods as you possibly can. Here is a list of the foods that are seasonally available in North America.

Fruits: 

   Apples, Blueberries, Blackberries, Cranberries, Elderberries, Figs, Grapes, Nectarines and Pears

Vegetables:

  Brussel  Spouts, Butternut squash, Cabbage, Carrots, Celery, Corn, Fennel, Jerusalem Artichokes, Kale, Leeks, Okra, Onions, Parsnips, Potatoes, Radishes, Spinach, Tomatoes, Turnips

  I hope you have enjoyed this information and it helps you along your journey.

 

Peace and Prosperity be unto you and yours and I'll be back with the Winter Season info.

 

 

 



Why are children saying "The Pledge of Allegiance"?

 One night I was listening to the radio and my mind began to wander. I have no idea why I thought about this, but what I do know is that I became very passionate about it pretty quick. I sat back and remembered having to stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning. I also remembered how much I hated doing it. The more I thought about it, the more I began to realize how totally inappropriate it is for children to recite this.

  Please, think about it. Ask the average 6 year old, "What does it mean to pledge your allegiance?" What do you think they are going to say? Also ask them, "Why should they pledge their allegiance to the flag?"  The word Allegiance means: loyalty or commitment of a subordinate to a superior or of an individual to a group or cause, so please ask yourself "Why are we allowing our children to pledge (swear) their allegiance to anything?"
  This is a ritual. Who started this ritual and why  is it mainly geared towards children is the main question we should be asking. Think back, when was the last time you said the pledge of allegiance?
   Believe me, you do not have to subject your children to this, it is not mandatory! As a parent YOU have the right to send a note to the school stating that your child will no longer participate in the Pledge of Allegiance. Jehovah witnesses do it all the time. I remember I wanted to tell my teacher I was one just so I could get out of saying it.
  I hope this rant of mine has been enlightening, because the spirits would not let me rest until I posted this. Thank you for reading! Peace

APRIL 15TH FIRST ----- TETRAD OF 2014

April 15 2014 WOW!!!!!!

  When I first learned of the exiting day ahead of us I was unsure how to feel about it. So I studied. First I needed to comprehend what a Tetrad is.

Each year there is one Total and one Partial eclipse of the Moon. In 2014 and 2015 there will be 2 Total eclipses each year.  4 consecutive Lunar Eclipses = A Lunar Tetrad.

Ok, so after I got that I realized that the first of the Tetrads begins on The Passover. Normally I would not have even paid any attention to the Passover since I always thought it as a Jewish Holiday, but this is obviously something very special. I pulled out our Metaphysical Bible Dictionary and read this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                       

Passover (fr. Heb.) -- passing over, i. e., a stream or obstruction; overcoming; sparing; protecting; delivering.

Metaphysical

  "The passover" was an annual festival of the Israelites, and still is kept by the Jews, in commemoration of their escape from the Egyptians. It was used by Jesus to represent the freeing of the spiritual man from the dominion of sense. It is part of the regenerative process that goes on in the body under the inspiration of the Christ mind. It is the passing over or out of one state of consciousness into another.

  In order to get the esoteric interpretation of the Passover, it is necessary to analyze the descent of Spirit into the subjective consciousness and follow it step by step in its many manifestations. Physically speaking, Egypt represents the part of the body below the diaphragm. The various plagues brought upon the Egyptians by the Lord through Moses are symbolical representations of appearances that ensue in this part of the organism when the presiding intelligence (Pharaoh) opposes the influx of the higher life.

  A parallel to the bloody waters, frogs, lice, flies, murrain, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and death of first-born may be found in the various diseases of bowels, kidneys, and other organs of the body, as named by doctors. A very large portion of these ills is the result of human resistance to spiritual consciousness, which is working widely in humanity.

  A concept of Truth in the head will eventually find its way through the whole body; and when its vibrations penetrate into the centers established in materiality, great resistance and pain sometimes follow. This sets up a chronic irritation and gives rise to a local condition to which the physician gives a name. Did the patient only know that it was Spirit at work, and fearlessly affirm the presence and power of the divine life, the opposition of the physical would pass away and a new and more enduring life flow

would follow.

  There is a physical basis of life through which the natural world manifests. Physical generation is its law, and its seed is the material cell. In Exodus the natural world is called Egypt; Jesus spoke of it as "this world." Then there is the true world, whose foundation is Spirit. This is the "heaven" of Jesus, and the "house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens," referred to by Paul. These are both in evidence in man's soul and body, and in regeneration there is a breaking up and passing away of the physical basis and an ushering in of the spiritual.

  The "first-born" of the Egyptians is the highest concept of life perpetuation that the physical man possesses. When the divine word, or angel of the Lord, passes through consciousness, a transformation takes place in this life thought. If the consciousness is established in materiality and has no expectation or thought of spiritual life, the germ is destroyed by the high vibration and passes away through the kidneys or bowels, and a general physical weakness follows.

  This is the death of the first-born of the Egyptians. If the mind is set on higher things, on the understanding that the enduring life is spiritual both within and without (blood on the doorposts), then the germ is saved from destruction; it is retained in the organism, goes through a regenerating process, is multiplied, and eventually strengthens the whole man.

  We may mentally have made our truest statements and seemingly complied with all the law, yet Pharaoh does not let our people go there is no realization of freedom in the body consciousness. Another step is necessary, which is typified in the feast of the Passover.

  In every change of consciousness on the physical plane there is a breaking down of cells and a building up of other cells to take their place. Mentally this is denial and affirmation, and this process in the body is the result of these two movements in the mind. We let go the animal life and take hold of the spiritual life by giving up consciously to this "passing over" process, which takes place when the old cells are replaced by the new. The lamb that is killed and eaten in the night represents this giving up of the animal life in the obscurity of the carnal body. The command is that the lamb shall be without spot or blemish, and be wholly eaten after being roasted with fire. This refers to the complete surrender of the human life after it has been purified by the fires of regeneration. Fire represents the positive, affirmative state of mind, as opposed to the negative or watery state. The Children of Israel were commanded not to let the lamb be "boiled" (in the A.V., "sodden," which is the Old English present tense of seethe). We are not to allow the life in our organism to simmer and stew with the worries and negative words of carnality, but we must set it afire with strong words of Truth.

  This is to show us that there must be a physical sacrifice as well as a mental, and that "all the congregation of Israel" shall join in it; that is, the whole consciousness of spiritual desire shall acquiesce. Many Metaphysical physicians think that it is not necessary to change the habits of the sense man--that one has only to keep his thoughts right and the flesh will thereby be wholly regulated--but the Scripture teaches that there must be a conscious physical change before the complete demonstration in mind and body is manifest. Thoughts work themselves out in things, and we get the full result of this work only when we follow them consciously every step of the way and help them along. So watch your thoughts as they consecutively work their way through your organism; and if you find that some pure thought of spiritual life is striving to free the life in the appetites and passions of your physical Egypt, help it by consciously elevating that life to the open door of your mind. This is typified by putting the blood of the lamb on the two side posts and the lintel of the door of the house. Do not be afraid to expose your inner life to the sight of the Lord, for only in perfect candor and childlike innocence can man come under the protection of divine law.

So long as there is a hidden, secret use of God's life in our habits and ways that we are not willing that all should know, just so long will the bondage of Egypt's Pharaoh hold us in its clutches. The whole man must be pure, and his inner life must be made so open and free that he will not be afraid to blazon it upon the very doors of his house where all who pass may read. Then the Lord will execute His judgment, and those who have purified the life of the lamb (or the body) will escape the messenger (or thought) of death.


  So as you can see, the energy of this day is something to be very conscious of and prepare yourself for. Get your thoughts and your body in order and create a ritual to bring forth a new you!! Peace

FEMININE CYCLES

Moontime Menstrual Cycles

   Like our heavenly mother (the moon), we (women) also transition from one state of being to another during the course of a month. As we go through these cycles, we emit different energies and hormones at certain times whether we are conscious of it or not. These energies can be used to help us obtain all of our wants and needs if we know how to use them.

  Two weeks before a woman's menstrual begins, her body produces progesterone (a hormone of strength and release). This is the time of spiritual cleansing. It is important to release negative habits, thoughts and energies. Knowing that these negative energies will hinder your progress, you must relentlessly eradicate them from your life. Chakra work, detoxifying, fasting, and house blessings are all great tools for this phase.

  The week before menstruation is the time to concentrate on what it is that you desire. Prioritize! Each month you should make a list of no more than three things you would like to obtain. Whether it be wisdom, better health for yourself or a loved one, financial freedom or whatever; be sure to write them down. Meditate everyday to be sure you are aware and in harmony with what you are asking for.

  Once your menstrual (physical cleansing) begins it is wise to limit any social or unnecessary activities in order to concentrate your energy. Start collecting your blood. Consecrate and decorate a jar or you can order a personalized Moonjar from www.etsy.com/shop/PrimordialWomanhood. When you collect your Moontime flow there will more than likely be a little urine mixed in, which is ok because at this time your body is producing estrogen which is a hormone of growth and expansion and will be present in the urine. When you are ready, use your blood to write your wishes. Meditate and re-read your list. Go over it several times to be sure you were specific enough. Next, go outside, dig a small hole and place your list inside. Pour in any extra blood you have, then cover it up with dirt. (often I plant a flower on top of my wish list. This is not necessary, but can be a useful indication of how your wishes are progressing.) If you do not have a yard in which to bury your list you can bury it in a plant pot and place it on your deck or patio. Water your list everyday of your menstrual with more of your essence.  

   It is very important to note the phase of the moon at the time of your menses. If you bleed during the waxing phase (from new moon to full moon) your wishes should be of increase (more finances, better health, stronger love, etc.) If you bleed during the waning phase (from full to new), your wishes should be of elimination (release of scarcity, to be free of illness, get negative energy out of your relationship etc.) Either way you can achieve the same results just by rewording things.

  Once your menstrual ends it is time to release your desires and let the universe take over. If you are not menstruating due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or if you have matured past menstruating, you can still participate in the monthly cycles. Everything must be done according to the phases of MMBA (the moon). Meditate and write your list the day before or the day of the New Moon. The day after the New Moon is the time to plant your list and water it with your urine. Continue watering until the day before the full moon, then release and begin your spiritual cleansing.

  As you align yourself with our heavenly mother you will begin to notice that your life will have more direction and less confusion. You will become more aware of your divine feminine gifts which will allow you to finally release your inner Genie (Soul), from her bottle and thrive. Hope you all enjoy you Moontimes from this point on.

MOONTIME IS WOMBTIME

   "Moontime", what is that?" It is our menstrual, our menses, our period, our time of the month. The time that most women dread. Why? Most women would say it's because it's nasty, or it makes them feel dirty and that cramps are horrible. But why do we hate a natural part of our existence that makes us who and what we are............... Feminine?

  "Why do we have to go through this?" - I've heard that question soooo many times. My response is why does the sun rise, why does the day turn to night, why do the seasons change? It is all a part of nature. Our cycles are a part of life, and not just a part of life, it is actually a REAL part of life. It is such a major part, that all human life would eventually cease to exist if every woman stopped menstruating.

 "So why do most women absolutely despise  it?" - It's because they don't understand, heck, I'm just learning to comprehend. This has been a long slow walk for me. In the past I thought my menstrual was the worst thing in the world. Cramps, Bleeding, Headaches, oh my!!! I suffered. Now I look forward to that time.

 Once a woman comprehends the power of her menses, she can then learn how to use it. - Our "Moontime" can be used to determine the health of our wombs, to gain introspection into our own personalities, to harmonize with our Heavenly Mother (The Moon), and Mother Earth. We can also use it to heal, make wishes, transform and much more. Later I will discuss all of this and much more, but for now I will explain how lifestyle determines whether you will have a happy "Moontime" or not. Here are a few ways to relieve yourself from the curses we've placed on our precious gift.

 1. The Pain - We DO NOT have to experience pain. It has been 17 yrs since I have had cramps. NO LIE!!   How did I accomplish that?
      First, - I've only been with one man (my husband) for the past 26 yrs.
               When a woman has more than one sexual partner her womb is always in a turbulent
                state. It takes almost six months for our wombs to adapt to the DNA of our mate. So
                if there is more than one her womb is probably going schitzo, and believe me she
                is going to feel it.
     Next - I Breastfeed!!!!
                   After a woman has a baby if she REALLY breastfeeds she should not have a
                   menstrual at all. Breastfeeding is a natural Birth Controll!!!
     Last, but not least - I take wild yam capsules when I am not breastfeeding.
                   Wild yam is the main ingredient in birth control pills. If you take one a day
                    (when you're not bleeding), just like the pill, you will have light periods,
                     no cramping and no odor.
 

2. The Smell - Foul odors are usually the result of three things. One - bacteria,
                       Two - menstrual products and Three - foreign objects.
 An unclean womb is breeding grounds for bacteria, fungus and viruses. Ladies, we've have got to keep our wombs clean (and not with summer's eve). I'm talking about clean spiritually and physically. Everything we put on or in our "garden" should be natural, organic, loving and friendly. :) Really, we should not be using anything bleached,  containing formaldehyde, made of plastic, rubber, latex, or ingredients made in a lab.
Instead of using Always or Kotex, buy or make your own pads from all natural cotton.

3. Mood swings - These are caused mainly by negative thought patterns and eating habits.
                            We know what happens when children eat too much sugar or red dye #40.
                            So what does it do to us? What about caffeine, too much meat, dairy
                            products, wheat, etc. Watch what you eat and you will see your life change.

If you become more conscious of your body, your life, your "Moontime" you will begin to see the world in a different light. Life is grand and our "Moontime" can be also, when you know what to do. I have been blessed with the knowledge and I am more than happy to share. I have herbas to help relieve menstrual cramps, and I have created "Moontime Wish Kits". You can find them both on my Etsy shop.

GIVE YOUR BABIES THE BEST START YOU CAN!!!





 THEY SAY PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. WELL I'M FAR FROM BEING PERFECT, BUT I WILL SAY THAT WITH EACH PREGNANCY I FEEL I HAVE GAINED MORE WISDOM WHICH MADE ME FEEL A LITTLE BIT CLOSER. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSONS I HAVE RECENTLY LEARNED IS THAT MOTHERS HAVE MORE CONTROL OVER THE FUTURES AND THE DESTINIES OF OUR CHILDREN THAN WE ARE AWARE OF.

   I SEE THAT WE TAKE SO MUCH FOR GRANTED AND ARE OFTEN CHILDLIKE WHEN IT COMES TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF PROCREATION AND CHILD REARING. SAY FOR INSTANCE YOU DECIDED TO MOVE TO ANOTHER STATE OR EVEN OVERSEAS. TO MAKE SUCH A MAJOR TRANSITION, YOU MUST FIRST PREPARE. LIFE ITSELF IS A JOURNEY AND THERE IS A SCIENCE TO MAKING IT THE BEST JOURNEY POSSIBLE. EVERYTHING FROM HOW AND WHERE WE ARE CONCEIVED, TO THE DAY AND TIME WE ARE BORN, AND EVEN THE NAME WE ARE GIVEN AT BIRTH WILL ALL  HAVE AN EFFECT ON OUR FUTURE. AS A MOTHER AND A LIFE JOURNEY COUNSELOR, I HAVE LEARNED THIS VERY  LESSON SEVERAL TIMES.

   DURING A SESSION A CLIENT DESCRIBED HER LIFE AS BEING VERY, VERY TRAUMATIC. FROM HER EARLY YEARS TO HER CURRENT LATE 60s, THIS WOMAN HAD EXPERIENCED MORE TRAGEDIES THAN I COULD EVER TRY TO RECITE. UPON STUDYING HER CHART, I REALIZED THAT ALTHOUGH THE MEANING OF HER NAME WAS PLEASANT THE NUMERICAL EQUATION OF IT ADDED UP TO A LIFE OF TRAGEDY AND MISERY. IT WAS AMAZING, HAD HER MOTHER GIVEN HER A DIFFERENT NAME HOW DIFFERENT HER LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN. OF COURSE SHE COULD NEVER ERASE THE OCCURRENCES OF HER PAST, BUT I ASKED IF SHE WOULD CONSIDER CHANGING HER NAME TO PREVENT FUTURE TRAGEDIES.

  BIRTH DATES ALSO HAVE MAJOR INFLUENCES. MY 10TH CHILD WAS DUE ON FEB. 5TH. I DECIDED TO DO A BIRTH CHART FOR THAT DAY TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF ENERGY HE WOULD BE BORN UNDER. I WAS NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THE OUTCOME OF THAT CHART BECAUSE OF HOW THE PLANETS ALIGNED ON THAT DAY IN OUR AREA, IT WOULD CAUSE MAJOR INSECURITIES AND UNHAPPINESS. SO I MADE  CHARTS FOR SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE AND AFTER THE 5TH. I FOUND THAT I LIKED THE 3RD TO MOST. NEXT I WENT INTO MEDITATION, I TALKED  TO THE BABY ABOUT THAT DAY AND MY INTENTIONS. I GUESS HE AGREED, HE WAS BORN ON THE 3RD.

  ANOTHER THING WE SHOULD BE CONSCIOUS OF IS THE TYPE OF ENERGY WE SUBJECT OURSELVES TO WHILE WE ARE NURTURING NEW LIFE INSIDE. FROM THE MUSIC WE LISTEN TO, THE BOOKS WE READ, THE MOVIES WE WATCH, TO THE COMPANY WE KEEP, THEY ALL EMIT ENERGY THAT CAN HAVE MAJOR INFLUENCES ON OUR UNBORN KINGS AND QUEENS. QUEEN JIN OF CHINA AND HITLER'S MOTHER WERE BOTH VERY CONSCIOUS OF THIS. THEY BOTH USED THIS WISDOM TO INFLUENCE THEIR UNBORN SONS.

  MAKING SURE THAT WE EAT HEALTHY FOODS, EXERCISE, GIVE OUR CHILDREN NAMES THAT WILL UPLIFT THEIR SPIRITS AND MAYBE EVEN CHOOSING DATES THAT WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO THEIR GROWTH ARE THINGS WE CAN DO ONCE WE ARE PREGNANT, BUT NOTHING COMPARES TO PRE-PREGNANCY PREPARATION. TO KEEP THIS BLOG FROM BECOMING TOO LONG I WILL SAVE THAT FOR LATER AND END IT WITH THIS...... WHATEVER YOU CAN DO TO GIVE YOUR CHILD THE BEST START IN LIFE PLEASE DO IT. IF WE BEGIN TO TAKE CHARGE OF THE SMALLEST THINGS WE CAN START TO CHANGE THE WORLD ONE CHILD AT A TIME.

WHAT HAPPENED TO WOMAN'S STRENGTH, COURAGE AND WISOM

  In the past month I have had 2 very profounddreams. In these dreams I put my hands inside the mouths of very dangerous animals (a lion in one dream and 2 wild hogs in the other) and allowed them to guide me along a path. In both dreams these animals were my protectors.  They gave me knowledge and comfort. 

  Of course I had to know what this meant. Then something hit me and I remembered the tarot card of the woman and the lion. The reason I felt that I HAD to share this is because the information I found is so relevent to the problems that occur within our relationships. This was a major eye opener for me. I hope it is helpful for you also.

The meaning of the Strength Tarot card is about knowing that you can endure life’s obstacles by drawing upon your inner strength and confidence. You have great stamina and persistence, tempered by an underlying patience and inner calm. You are focused on what you need to do, and you go about it in a way that demonstrates great composure and maturity. The Strength Tarot card also reflects a compassionate approach. You are like the woman in this card who offers love and patience to the ferocious lion in order to be able to tame him. You give others space and you are tolerant of their needs. You are accepting and can easily forgive any imperfections. In doing this, you create a safe and trusting environment where you can then gently influence others. This demonstrates a level of ‘soft’ control, persuading and coaxing others to your way of thinking. The qualities of Strength Tarot card are already in you, waiting to appear once you have mastered all your raw, foundational emotions and when you are ready to move on to the spiritual tasks that lie ahead. Its main lesson is that emotions must be transcended if spiritual wisdom and intuition are to be awakened. Your inner voice is often drowned out by the constant noise of emotion and preoccupation with fear. Only once you have eliminated these raw emotions can you begin to create the silence you need. So conquer your fears, control your impulses, and never lose patience with yourself or what you are doing. Eventually you will see the wisdom of letting go of your lower self. The Strength archetype teaches you that you have the strength to tame the beasts within yourself. Meditating on this card can assist your process of honouring and experiencing the inherent strength that is within your nature. The Strength Tarot card shows a balance of the aspects of you that are human, animal and divine. It may seem impossible but love, kindness and a brave heart can bring them into balance. In a Tarot reading, the appearance of the Strength Tarot card indicates a time when you need to be very conscious of your instinctual urges and reactions, and bring them into balance with the greater good and meaning in life. This is not a time to act out in rage or in hatred but instead to look at the situation from a place of love and compassion. The Strength Tarot card represents a higher level of consciousness that allows you to take responsibility for yourself, so that you can master yourself and your world. The Strength card reminds us that inside each of us is a passionate and instinctual side that, depending on the person, will either burst out frequently or infrequently. If you are one of those people who acts impulsively or irrationally, and who blurts out angry comments or negative things to others, the Strength Tarot card calls on you to try to tame yourself. The woman in this card is calmly subduing the lion by offering peace, love, and warmth. You may need to do the same to prevent yourself from leaping out at others and saying some things you might later regret. In a Tarot reading, Strength offers you the hope of connecting with both your inner and outer strength. It asks you to find the confidence within yourself to present yourself to the world as strong, assertive, and persevering. If you have been self-doubting, the Strength Tarot card gives you the confidence to fight those doubts. Additionally, if you are feeling worn out or stressed, Strength says to you, “Things are going to get better! You are going to find the strength within yourself and within others to keep going!” When Strength appears in a Tarot reading, you can be assured that you have enough endurance to see this task through to its eventual end. If you are pushing too hard, Strength shows the need to withdraw for the moment, and to be patient. Enlightenment will come only when the time is right – it cannot be rushed. With the Strength Tarot card, it is clear that strength and courage will be applied to all your endeavours. Results may be slow in coming but you will hold your own, get a lot accomplished and summon up enough energy to do what it takes to get the job done. One way or another, you will be recognised or rewarded for your efforts.

 

 

 

This is another lovely card from the Legacy of the Divine Tarot. Looking at the imagery, a lovely young woman is surrounded by large cats of prey. She is calm, serene, and in control- the ferocity of the beasts is still present, yet she is in no danger from them. They have gone from being her predators to her protectors.

This card is about strength. It generally doesn't talk about physical strength; instead it talks about discipline, compassion, gentleness, and control. This card refers to being able to harness those dangerous, wild parts of yourself and turn them from things that can be hurtful or dangerous into something that is an asset to you. In some decks, this card is called fortitude- the will and ability to keep moving forward, even though it's difficult or painful.

 



  After reading all of this I came to the comprehension that as women we will always find our greatest strength in our "Feminine Virtues". These are our Divine gifts of compassion, patience, nurturing,etc. It is through these very gifts that we are able to tame the wild and ferocious beasts.

  We know the struggles we have been and are still going through as a people. We've been taught to turn on ourselves and each other. Through programming we have come to be an enemy to our own men. We are no longer loving and compassionate with them. We are smart mouth and short tempered, making them the wild and ferocious beasts that many of them are today. But it is through our "Divine Feminine Virtues (Strength)" that we can reverse this spell and restore him to his rightful throne as our protactors and"King of the Jungle (World).



Peace
