Transparent
Oracle Sunday!
55, Guide: Mermaid (Below). Ascension and escape from the physical
world seem to be our tasks for this life; however, in order to ascend, we need
to first understand this word we are attempting to grow out of. The cards of Below assist us in that
endeavor. Mermaid tells us of many
non-physically manifested concepts: feelings, emotions, love, compassion, and
healing. Like Water, none of these
can be held in place by our hands, and yet all are important ingredients within
a balanced and harmonious and satisfying life. Learning to access these ingredients and use them for our
benefit without “over-spicing” the recipe takes focus and Will, and loss of
control can bring obsession and destruction, but it is well worth the risk.
36, Guide:
Bear (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. 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.
46, Mercury (Above). Whatever happens in the direction
of Above, it will happen quickly, and maybe in an unexpected manner, because
there are no elemental constraints to be found. The effects associated with this card (and this planet) of
Mercury are quick to manifest; they are about connections and communications,
about travel, and about the way it all happens through what seems like
magick! I associate Mercury with
the Internet, and thus, with the astral realms.
I then
stacked my cards and created my mandala.
Mercury is in the center of everything, and its revolutionary path
crosses the third eye of Mermaid; Bear is quietly guarding, facing outward and
eyes closed (although Bear is still aware of what is happening, perhaps more so
because he is not relying on only his eyes). I am being asked to look at the volotile world of my own
emotions and feelings today, so that I can love myself, and learn to control
those feelings in order to create a better outcome. I am also being warned that perhaps things will happen
quickly today, possibly on the Internet, and whatever happens just might push
buttons within me that create sudden and strong feelings. I need to keep alert, and be ready for
anything, yet not expect a particular outcome.
I spent
a beautiful day in my beloved garden.
I am sore, but very happy.
