Consulting the Deck

Inspired by my dearest AmberLotus, I am sharing with you a tarot reading I’m doing for myself this evening.

In the beginning there was dirt. And it was good.

This is where I did most of my planting yesterday. On the left is a sage plant, then there is the tall grass that is just peeking out around last fall’s dead tall grass (which I’ve chopped down). To the right are two lemon thymes and in the pot is some more successfully growing tall grass. *grin*

Along the stairs

Here is my little sage up close and personal:

And some time for the thyme:

Next up, we have the flower garden. Right now, the tulips have all lost their flowers, but the green is still there! The irises are just now blooming. I love perennials!!

Flower garden

Love how my irises are colored. Yay for purple flurs!!!

Purple Iris

Oh yeah. That’s hot!!!

Next we have a purple flowering plant that I have yet to identify. I didn’t plant it, and I’m not sure what it is, but I love it. The leaves are soft like sage or comfrey.

Purple Unknown

And finally, here is the pre-growth picture of the bed in front of the east window. Before Picture

Revisiting Apo

So, lately I was looking for some of my more sensual work…

And I was pleased to find my Apogaea poem…

You’ll love it.

I appreciate the paradox of listening to Pachelbel while riding the Colfax bus…

An all time favorite.

You, a God

This was one of my most favoritest pieces I’ve written to date.

I thought you all might like to see it.

Can you smell it? Spring is in the air!

Magic No Comments »

Tell me I’m not lucky!

Spring time penetrates my soul. I am a morning person, and naturally it follows that Spring is my all time favorite season. I can smell it in the air, and I can taste it on my lips. It’s like I’m crawling out of my Winter cave, and suddenly am noticing all of the green on the ground, in the trees, in my flower bed…

I’m going to forewarn all of you now, you’re going to get a lot of “Yay, it’s Spring Time!!!!” from me in the next few months. I’m ecstatic over it! I feel so gloomy some days through out Winter… and then there is a reawakening, a rebirth, so to speak.

Yes, I realize it’s not quite yet here… I say this as I peek out my window to see a typical Colorado March Blizzard. I’m not going to allow this to discourage me, though, I know what’s just around the corner!

To commence the season, and to celebrate St. Patty’s Day, I have posted a picture I took from my garden last year.

Additionally, I’d like to point out that while St. Patrick MAY have chased all of the snakes out of Ireland, he most certainly didn’t chase the snakes out of me.

Ahhhhh

I lead a very happy life.   My sacred moments are filled with herbal tea and steaming baths.  My bed is always warm, and my clothes are always clean.  I eat well.  I sleep well.  Plants and books and people I love surround me, unwaveringly.  The sun always shines upon me.  My mind is filled with riddles to crack and the life-blood of joy.  There are children laughing excitedly in my home.  Peaceful music wraps my head, a drizzling of incense, and glimmers of waking life penetrate my atmosphere.  It is a dream, and it’s my reality.

So mote it be.

One Great Consciousness: Choosing to tap into the awareness that always has been

Magic, Spirituality No Comments »

Throughout history there have been many teachers who believed in a one great consciousness. People have believed that their souls are part of one great spiritual energy. Many have called this energy God.

Christ and Buddha are two of the common teachers who taught this. Throughout the existence of human kind, there has always been a spirituality, a worship, a humbleness, and love.

Many metaphysical teachings state that there is a possibility to connect with the one great mind. This is how people have explained clairvoyance and the great wise teachers. This is an explanation of prophecy.

I *heart* ignorant people.

There are a great many things that I may never learn.

The more I aim my focus at learning, the more I realize that I really know closer to nothing than anything at all.

I was trying to find a place today, within my experience, for ignorant folks. I could not help but wonder why it was that these creatures of bliss were comfortable just being stupid. To my semantics, ignorance is technically someone who has never had any sort of wisdom presented to them, or never had the opportunity to learn more than what they know, and stupidity is one who, even if wisdom was presented, for one reason or another, would not or could not gain from it. So, please allow me to rephrase. I am unsure of how it is that, in our American society, one could choose to be comfortable, for whatever reason, in never thinking about their understanding of the world as any seeker might be.

Intentional Two Double Oh Eight

Gratitude, Law of Attraction, Love, Magic 2 Comments »

Once again, my life is complete.   I find myself feeling as though I have plenty of everything, and having that feeling only constitutes more of having enough.

The kids are with us again this week.  They provide great amusement and joy.  Little girl giggles and little boy stories are almost more valuable than gold.  We had them for the New Year’s Eve, and instead of getting a sitter, we stayed home.  Sort of.  We went across the street to our neighbor’s, where we ate like royalty and played billiards and other parlor games.   At midnight, we gathered all of the kids and went outside and watched some fireworks, and I got the most lovely New Year’s kiss.  The night was mostly uneventful, and that’s exactly what we were going for.

This last year was incredible!  I have never had such an extraordinary year, and I look forward to making 2008 even better.  Last year I went through the most magnificent changes: Who I am now is very different from whom I was on the New Year’s Eve of 2007.  I like the changes, and I feel entirely at ease with where I’m at now.  I have a beautiful family, a magnificent home, an excellent job, am surrounded with wonderful friends, and am following my heart.  Really, I don’t know that it gets any better than this.

Alas, it must, because my intention is to continue raising my vibration until I every moment, I’m singing.

I am promised great things.  I know that I will have them.  There is no question, and it doesn’t matter how I have them, just that I know I will have them.  This is how it goes.

Can I truly convey to you the feeling that accompanies my words?  It is confidence, and appreciation.  Gratitude and a knowing nod.   It’s a smile and an acceptance that all I desire is already mine.

Yes, this next year, I am unstoppable.  I have partnered up with someone who embraces these same thoughts and ideas as I do, someone who believes in the completion that is already our own.  He sees life through the same colored lens as my own, and we have the same goals, hopes, and dreams.  It is easy to vibrate on a high note alone– alone you can control nearly everything within your experience.  When you have two intimate people, thinking towards the same goal, showing gratitude for the same things, and prompting the Universe to allow more of what we desire together, it is as though our power is not merely doubled but increased tenfold.

With that, I can announce my imminent success in the next year.  I know that everything I intend will come into fruition.  I have thought much about what it is that I desire, and it is all already here before me.  I will enjoy and appreciate it.

And so mote it be.
