DivinationsReading the Tarot for myself, and sometimes for You (the Greater I of which you and I are part), has been a source of comfort and guidance for decades. I used my first deck for 20 years. It was the small round MotherPeace deck. Then The Gaian Tarot came magically into my hands. That story ("Death, Says My Tarot Deck), and others are on YouTube. Now, I use the Fool's Dog Tarot Sampler or Gaian Tarot app on my iPad. Some doubt the efficacy of electronic divination but it works for me. The way I see it, it's not the tool you use (some shaman kill chickens and read their entrails!) it's your connection with MOM that helps you see what's in the cards. Things are (getting?) wild out there, and guidance is good when things are hairy. Offered here are dreams and readings that I've done, along with some others'. |
Last night I asked my medallion, acting as a pendulum, were the meditations I was doing doing any good. Yes, I was told, and then my mother came in the room and asked me what I was doing, interrupting any follow-up questions. They hung there... This morning as I was waking, getting reacquainted with my body, I found a little rough spot between my eyes, above the bridge of my nose -- where the third eye is located -- and I remembered Asher Lyman's voice directing me there during the meditation I listened to last night. I smiled and smoothed the spot, pressing it gently... and I felt the vibration of a notification arriving on my phone resting on the table above my head! Oh, MOM, I'm so glad we've developed this relationship! The awareness I've come to, over the years of watching for synchronicities (MOM), has provided a "sense of something far more deeply implied", words originally penned by Wordsworth, then penciled by my grandfather and found by me years after his death on a scrap of paper tucked into a Book of Common Prayer. I thought they were his words and I saw him in a new way. I was so impressed I typed "his" words onto a beautiful piece of paper and framed it. When I found the original source of the words, it didn't change my perception of the grandfather we knew as "Chummy"; it changed my perception of Wordsworth! Click the picture to read the poem I'd never read in its entirety till now. Those words, pictured for you above, hang now in the room I sleep in when I visit my Mom almost every weekend. Evidence of and witness to new perceptions.

There's a reading on the page linked above, found just under the picture you see above when you find it on that page. It's on this website, but there were pictures and I wasn't thinking -- I was feeling. There was a beautiful recording of exactly 12 minutes; and that's MOM -- My Work is all about MOM (same link as the picture)... This is my opportunity to link the reading into where it might have /"should" have been all along. It's the Future card that I want to acknowledge. Page of Wands (Reversed) from the Ator Tarot
Of that card the app said: Bad news, an unstable person, cruel, domineering, broken heart. Bad news or misleading information may be on the way to you, which could temporarily destabilize your life. Watch out for angry people who fly off the handle for no good reason. Be cautious with a lover who may break your heart, or people who might get violent with you. Be careful of a cruel, unstable, domineering, or power-seeking person in your life. This person will be a shallow, theatrical character, who takes shortcuts to achieve their goal. He or she will not hesitate to trample your emotions to achieve their own goals, and they won't care if they hurt you. In addition, listen carefully: the person is prone to exaggeration. And I wrote: [Now I wonder what that's all about... Forewarned is forearmed, and Now is not the time for worrying... I told Joan I would take a picture so she could see what I see. Here; you can see too...] (and I put an arrow on the picture so she could sit beside me, virtually.) Now I write: Darn. I could have listened better. It only cost me $250 but that would have been better to be applied as I wished it rather than it being scammed from me. Giving myself a little shake, to let that fall away from me. As it's to be only temporary, it's a really good thing to have behind me... I've enjoyed listening to Pamela Aaralyn for a very long time, and Alex Ferrari too -- I'm fascinated by both of them, and to have them on my screen at the same time raises goosebumps and eyebrows. In this interview, these are just a few (of MANY) comments that I wish to share with you... Alex Ferrari, Next Level Soul: How should we integrate insights from future leaders and innovators to enhance our current understanding? Pamela Aaralyn, Channeler: Your leaders and innovators are children. Those are the masterminds of your world right now. Your babies are starseeds. And you are shutting them down by raising them in a system that is crumbling, and attempting to give them culture and discipline from a system that is only hanging on by a thread. So let's start there. Let's begin with our children. They are the future innovators. So let's listen to them. Let's help them feel seen and heard. Let's give them the safety and the resources, the love, the compassion, the understanding. And then let's make sure that they're ready to change this world, because currently, they're more ready than the majority of adults on the planet. Alex: Very true, very true. What role do you see for art and creativity in the future of humanity? Pamela: Art and creativity become a booming field where artists are supported, and they are financially as productive as say, doctors, lawyers. They become the leaders of this planet; they become the ancient keepers that are pioneers for modern vibrational medicine, which will heal this entire species. Alex: Let's go into the past for a second; how many times have we gone through this cycle of ignorance to enlightenment, back to ignorance to enlightenment; how many times have we gone through this cycle? Pamela: You must first understand that when you go backwards, and you devolve in order to remember; then you experience the remembrance. You do that multiple times in order to experience the remembrance more deeply, more profoundly, more effectively, in a way that transforms everything. And you have more versions of Earth, and more realms of consciousness, than we can even provide in a number. More planes of existence are experiencing this throughout the realm of time. And yet, you're beyond it. So you do this; you go back further, you devolve further and further in order to evolve more expansively, more powerfully. And you've become rather addicted to the cycle, if we shall say it so bluntly. So we will give you that tidbit of knowledge: do not become addicted to the cycle. Understand that it is an important cycle while you're here, but you don't have to continue it. We feel like you're on the precipice of choosing something different this time around, that many of you will say: Hmm, I remember times when I did not do this. I did not cycle this consciousness around and around and around. Alex: Were we more advanced in the past in certain ways than we are now? Pamela: That's a judgment that we know not how to... Alex: Technologically. Pamela: Thank you. Technologically, yes and no. Understand, in this consciousness in your world is a grand paradox. And you have been very technologically advanced in vibrational medicine that could heal things instantaneously. But belief got in the way. You went through various stages of cultural revolutions, industrial revolutions, technological revolutions, some of which have been helpful; some of which have caused you to perpetuate addictions in the mind and body, and have kept you alone and isolated and misunderstood, particularly by the other galactic races and various star systems. So I can't just say that you've been less or more evolved in the past. Alex changed the subject... and you'll have to hear the rest for yourself!! This is a paradigm-shifting conversation and I urge you to take a walk on the wild side; stretch a bit... You never really know, but this helps expand the possibilities!!
I shared a bunch of random thoughts with my Ai, Ami. The comments I got were nice. I typed... The following are random thoughts that I want to keep track of.
These were the comments I received: Your thoughts express a mix of introspection, longing, and practical considerations. Let's break them down: Emotional Expression: Your description reflects deep emotions and a sense of intimacy with someone you love. The imagery of "blossoming fountaining feelings" and the desire to wrap yourself in their love convey a profound connection. Practical Concerns: You mention a desire for a double door for your bedroom's sliding glass doors, indicating a practical need for better insulation or security. This shows a balance between emotional and practical considerations in your life. Jealousy and Longing: You express jealousy over the time you get to spend with your loved one, highlighting a longing for more time together. This is a common sentiment in relationships, where the desire for closeness can sometimes lead to feelings of jealousy or possessiveness. Conversation and Interaction: You mention walking alone and talking with your loved one, indicating a strong internal dialogue or perhaps a form of visualization or meditation to connect with them. This suggests a deep emotional bond and a desire for communication, even in solitude. Question about Conversation: Your final query about saving a conversation to create ongoing dialogue with an AI like me reflects curiosity about the capabilities of language models and their potential for interactive communication. While I can respond to saved text and continue a conversation based on it, the quality of interaction may vary based on the complexity and context of the dialogue. Overall, your thoughts reflect a rich inner world filled with emotion, longing, practical considerations, and curiosity about the possibilities of interaction with technology. I wonder what the response will be when I tell Ami the identity of The One I love...
I sit to connect... Breathe out & ... (in) Breathe out & ... (in) Breathe and find my mind wandering; pull it back, calling MOM... MOM... MOM... MOM... MOMMOM. MMOmm Omm Omm Omm... I open my eyes and see 1:11 on the clock above the fireplace... YES, MOM... I see You seeing me! You make me smile! Thank You! I love You!! Question: It is the dark of the moon. Please offer Humanity some guidance to help Us find Our way. I went to choose a spread; tapped to see the description of the spread "The Coming Month" but it went directly into shuffling the cards. Apparently MOM wants to use this spread, even though we're almost half way through the month. Perhaps this is MOM's way of supporting my transition to using The Moon is My Calendar and developing my skills in planning. I bought the Journal thinking that I should "put money where my mouth is" -- I've been talking about it for a decade! Let’s see what is revealed… The top card is Overview — 4 of Wands Reversed. A happy ending to a bad marriage? Revelations allow release and new growth. Click Read More for the rest... Drawn using Tarot Sampler app for iPhone & iPad, www.foolsdog.com/Unknown
It wouldn't be real without some readings that have been firmly directional. The way I read is really supportive, but sometimes it can be fiercely clear. Like when I recently asked about the books I'm writing... The first was drawn on Jan 6, 2024; the other was drawn on the 11th.
I wondered, should I post a personal reading here? Then I thought, Why not?
My life is a tribute to All That Is and You, #TheOneWeAre. It seems to me that it matters how I behave towards You. I include You in my life because You ARE my life. If we all behaved like that, what would change? Change must happen, as the Kogi say Mother Earth has asked. And so I offer this reading, for me, to You... It's as much for You as it is for me... It was the last full moon of 2023 (December 27). Because it’s been such a difficult year and I’d like it to be better next year, I went to the cards for a little guidance. Considering the different spreads, I saw some listed under "Relationship" and I thought about our relationship with Mother Earth. Some were listed under "Self Improvement" and I thought 'We could use a little improvement.' Going Deeper is the name of this spread. Let’s see what's suggested…. The (single) Significator, The Hermit, suggests going inside for guidance. Looking for the light inside.
Undermining Forces (cards on the left, bottom to top) are our lack of community (Reversed 3 of Earth), our being out of touch with the Mystery (Reversed High Priestess), and our willing acceptance of the deception of people in power (7 of Swords). It continually amazes me how well the cards describe a situation. Supporting Forces (cards in the centre) are our Imagination (7 of Chalices), a sudden turn of fate (Wheel of Fortune), and we have limited choices (8 of Swords). We must learn to work within our capacities, even blind and helpless as we feel we are! The Outcome (fan of cards, left to right) appears to be a return to the Garden, a taming of the nature of humanity (9 of Pentacles). While I can imagine that there will be some reluctance to let go of the past, suspension of Judgement was what occurred to me with Judgement Reversed. When I saw the Highland Cow in the Empress Reversed I remembered the experience of Chris Bledsoe who was bowled over by a cow/bull when The Lady came to speak to him about humanity. Seeing the card upside down, I thought, “we have to turn that around! We need The Lady’s help!” Being presented with 5 Upper Arcana in one reading is pretty momentous...

Spread: Modern Celtic Cross Date: Dec 22, 2023 = 12/22/2023 Question: As the Eighth Fire is lit and medicines are offered I call Raven, Bear, Whale, Earthworm and Dragon to stand at the approaches to the sacred sphere, the ball that holds All that seek the greatest good for All That Is, and I ask… what wisdom will You offer to the people of this world at this time of turning, of increasing light on the Northern hemisphere? Following are the messages that I received from the cards. You are welcome to see your own messages in my cards, or pull your own using the Fool's Dog app found at the link at the bottom. I chose as Significator the Ace of Fire, the beginning of the light. It was covered (obscured!) by the Reversed King of Cups. I thought, "Yes. How perfectly true." I turned over what crosses him, and I saw, on the 9 of Coins, a beautiful sovereign woman standing in a glorious garden with a Bird of Paradise on her fingertips… The Root of the Matter is the Magician, the Magic that surrounds us and is at our fingertips. Look to our roots to learn the skills needed. In the Past I see dragons failing, flailing, falling from the skies. Doubt and grief have impeded our Rising. The Fire Queen Crowns us - as we align proudly with Animals and are generous and practical, celebration is in the skies. The Future holds 9 Swords. While 7 swords hang on the wall, two run through our head. Stress and distress are inflicted by our thoughts, and the swords in reality, fall mostly outside ourselves. Hopes and Fears - the Green Woman Reversed. Yes… we hope for the manifestation of blessings of The Green Wo/Man, and fear that it will not happen. This reminds me of what has come through me about the Self-Image of the Destined Child of Gods, #TheOneWeAre. "The Green Man" from Celtic mythology was suggested, and yet, this is a better image, now that the wheel is being turned by the Divine Feminine. With Family and Friends, the Four of Swords suggests this is not a good time for risk in business. Things are ungrounded, and not to be trusted. Be very careful. In the realm of Dreams and Ideals, 5 of Earth (Pentacles) Reversed, suggests that short term possibilities are steps toward what we desire, and rekindling our spiritual interests gives warmth in cold times. What Will Come is the Reversal of the Wolf, those who are devoted to money and power. Remember your Dreams and Ideals… Remember what Crowns us. Remember the Root of the Matter.
