A most wonderful gift

For Solstice, from dear friends; a handmade finger labyrinth. The scalloped wood edge was cut out of wood. A modified Chartes patter traced on and maked with two layers of fabric puff paint. Painted with several colors. Red for the divine feminine. Purple for Spirit. Gold for god/male energy and silver for goddess/female. Copper as the conductor. Original wording around the edge is "When every way is closed before you, Spirit will show a path."

I look forward to walking with Grace and Spirit.

Single Card 120508

I did a single card pull last night, 5 of swords, using the Druid Craft deck. There has been some dissapointment in life lately, but how to come out of it?

10222008 sleepless dream

Last night I woke at 1:30 am unable to sleep. Read for at least an hour and tried to sleep. I had a dream. I was at a huge outdoor party, surrounded by unknown people-couldnt find DH. Found a cat, not mine, and carried it back to the gate with me for comfort. I looked down and the ground was covered with dead birds. Little black ones. There was no place to step without stepping on their little bodies. Farther up the hill there were larger birds, some of them ducks. When I got to the gate, there were more small animals dead on the ground, four pawed but I could not tell what they were. The next portion I remember was entering an empty apartment and seeing the exit paperwork and DH had an adress but left my space blank.

Most of this to me speaks of dissappointment and fear in so many areas of life. I don't know how to cope yet.

Chalice and Wand reading 082808

Using the Druid Craft tarot-Chalice and Wand spread

Signifyer-10 of Cups
What covers-III The Lady
What crosses-V The High Priest
What crowns-4 of Pentacles
What is beneath-0 The Fool
What is behind-3 of Pentacles
What is before-XII The Hanged Man

What is feared-Prince of Swords
What others feel-Prince of Pentacles
What is wished-I The Magician
What may come-VII The Chariot

Two things with this that struck right away. My other half did a one card pull the night before and drew the Magician in his deck. Last week I saw the Chariot live. A trailer on a motorcycle with one black and one white standard poodle standing in it enjoying the ride. Quite different.

Instead of summary now of the reading I choose to incubate in the dream world.

Chakra Walk February 7

This evening I walked a chakra finger labyrinth that included oracle cards. It is a 7 circuit pattern. The purchase of the set was rather a whim but definitely called to me. I heard it across a store while ordering a coffee. During my walk I cried hard. The messages were staggering, exactly what I needed, and far to close to the mark. So close, some I could not see. My cards are as follows...now if you know me this is kind of spooky.

Root Chakra- I acknowledge and bless my health concerns or my body issues.
Sacral Chakra- I acknowledge and bless feeling overwhelmed or denying my emotions.
Solar Plexus Chakra- I acknowledge and bless my weak boundaries, taking on others issues.
Heart Chakra- I acknowledge and bless my fear of intimacy, feeling aloof or guarded.
Throat Chakra- I acknowledge and bless my mind chatter and excessive talking.
Third Eye Chakra- I acknowledge and bless my lack of vision, sabotaging my dreams.
Crown Chakra- I acknowledge and bless feeling disconnected from Source.
Integration- I connect with the spirit of Fire to transmute what no longer serves me.

Receiving Center- I return to the stillness of my center to connect with ALL THAT IS and receive what I most need.
