August 15, 2016:
It has been a hot and humid couple of days, but
I’ve not allowed temperatures in the mid to upper 90’s and humidity at 80% to
stop me. Yes, I’ve slowed down,
and I’ve hydrated myself often, but I still spent two days immersed in my
beloved garden. All is well there,
everything is holding up despite the burning sun.
My Wild Unknown Tarot card is the Three of Wands;
another Fire card. The three Wands
on this card create a triangle, point down. Fertility, anyone?
That triangle is one of the symbols of the womb and the Chalice of the
Goddess, and that is what this card brings to us. The background of the card is pretty null, vertical lines
with an off-white background, but the inside of the triangle is filled with
beautiful rainbow colors, just like The Star of the Wild Unknown Major
Arcana! Here is creativity in a
really supportive environment; here, in this symbol of potential, is a vision
of what may be, what could be manifested tomorrow! Exciting! And
the vision is right on the card, in that triangular portal to the future!
A bit about Archangel Raphael. Raphael is the Archangel of Healing,
full of compassion for people who are struggling physically, mentally,
emotionally or spiritually. But
Archangel Raphael does not just heal humans; he also heals animals, and our
world. He is associated with
compassion, joy and laughter.
People go to Raphael for assistance in overcoming addictions, in finding
love, and for safe travels. The
symbol most associated with Raphael is the caduceus, and he is a patron to
those in the medical professions, counselors, pharmacists, and patients, as
well as to travelers, young people, and those in love.
Archangel Raphael appears in the Book of
Enoch. Once the Fallen Angels are
removed from Earth, Yahweh asks Raphael to restore the Earth. Raphael was given the assignment to
preside over every suffering and affliction of humans, and he was given the
power to heal the Earth of the maladies of mankind. Islam sees Raphael as the angel who will announce judgment
day; Raphael is seen as a master of music who is able to sing praises to God in
many languages.
