Transparent Oracle Sunday!
42, Guide: Angel (Above). The direction of Above takes us up and out of the four traditional
elements of Air, Fire, Water and Earth, and reminds us that we are but a small
part of the Cosmos. Above also
reminds us that while the Machinery of the Universe is huge, it does have an
effect on each of us, and each of us is an important part of the workings of
that Machinery. Angel is the Guide for the Celestial Realm, and you could say
that Angel is one of the messengers who bridges the gap between us and the vast
expanses of the Universe. When
Angel appears in a spread, some event or effect may have more significance than
I think, and I had better pay attention.
33, Element: Earth (North). North is the direction of Earth, and
thus of the physical or physically formed or manifested world, and of
nurturing, health, finances and security, and the wisdom associated with living
simply, being well-grounded, and being in touch with our physical body. Earth represents stable, material,
practical energies that are slow to change; its dignities are cold/binds and
dry/shapes. Earth is the element
of form and substance; it is connected to physical health, to material world
security (and even wealth), and to our physical bodies and physical senses, and
the pleasures and pains they bring.
Earth represents the fertile, nurturing and serene side of Nature, and
it represents the tangible end result of our labors.
36, Guide:
Bear (North). Earth represents stable, material, practical energies that are
slow to change; its dignities are cold/binds and dry/shapes. Bear is about protection and
hibernation, power, shelter and instincts. Mother bears are fierce, yet gentle, and that is the message
of this card. I am being told by
Bear that I should protect and nurture myself, but I should also make use of
what I’ve learned to not only connect with my own instincts, but also to
nurture and guide others.
I then
stacked my cards and created my mandala.
This one is full of movement, strange when you have two cards from the
North/Earth, and on initial examination, it seems to be chaos. But upon further examination, I do find
a clear message: yes, the world is filled with chaos, but if I have a good
sense of myself, I can bring the messages swirling in that chaos into my
everyday life in a vey effective way.
No book learning here, just opening the senses and listening to what the
senses tell me!
I had a
wonderful weekend. We took our
company to two evenings of the Cape May Jazz Festival, along with a day at
Point Park, walking the 2 mile path.
Added to all this fun, we had some awesome conversations.
