Daily Draw: Thursday April 12th, 2012

From the book: Once you were mistreated, it is true.  Once you retreated - that is also true.  No more.  You are changing the way you view yourself, and speaking up and out.  I am myself, and I am proud of who I am. No one can harm me now I have this knowledge...While I have lost some of my innocence, I have my life, my strength, my voice, my ability to stay myself no matter what others do or say.

Personal Message: I see a pattern appearing.  Yesterday I drew the same card as Tuesday and it dawned on me that the message is perhaps telling me its okay to go through that process.  Today's card seem to be moving along the same lines.

Daily Draw: Tuesday April 4th 2012

Alice in a Sea of Tears: Castaway, out of your depth, feeling abandoned.

From the Book: You are releasing the Pain!  Now you have acknowledged your pain, and cried your heartbreak out, the sad magic of your tears is that you are trapped still in your emotional vibration.  You have been through a very emotional time, and have finally released your need to hold on.  Now the challenge is to move on from this, with wisdom in place, without repeating what has led to this manifestation.  Dry your tears, help is here.  Well done on making such an important change!

Personal Message:  This one I think pertains to a dear friend.  Though it links somewhat to my dreams of late also.

Daily Draw - March 22nd, 2012

From the Book:
"In order to grow, we must experience transitions and changes.  To be fully alive we must die again and again, all in this lifetime."  "You are about to celebrate life's great shifts in more meaningful ways - no more just a follower - you become an initiator, because you have listened to the wise words of the oldest creature on the planet - the one who caries Gaia on her back."

Daily Draw - March 13th 2012

From the Book:
"You have hidden away from change long enough, afraid of hurt - but you have been hurt anyway... Now, hope return along with her, welcome back your courage."

"Darkness has been a resting place, a place of solace, but it is, the butterfly indicates, time to cut through the fear of being seen, and move into the light and go out, be public, and even be social for a time."

Personal Message:
Hmm, recurring themes and messages tend to come through on a Tuesday after spending Monday night working on Shadow work.  Today's message is a repetition of last nights work and messages.  I find the confirmation comforting.

Daily Draw - March 8th 2012

From the Book:
It is the right time in this moment.  For too long you have used this idea of right time as a tactic to delay and procrastinate, because you are afraid of what the change will bring.  Will you shift your consciousness - will you change, deliberately, despite the fear and the others who tell you you are wrong?

Personal Interpretation:
I am a big procrastinator, its actually something I've gotten worse at as I've gotten older.  And it is fear a lot of the time and waiting for the right time and doubting my ability to make the change.  This cards message relates to so many little things in my life as well as a big overriding theme that I'm working with right now.

Daily Draw - March 6th 2012

What the Book Says:
One cycle has ended.  You must now shift the focus from what you fear to what you wish to become, and just face what it is that is frightening you needlessly.  It will not kill you.  It might hurt a bit.  But it is SO worth it!

My Interpretation:
Oh how accurate is this card for today.  This year is one of big changes within myself (well at least that is my goal) and Shadow work is a key part of this and those changes will hurt but they are right and what I should be doing.  This is the natural next step in my journey that I have been running away from for so long, its time to face it head on.

Daily Draw - March 5th, 2012

From the Book:

There will be a bright piece of beautiful luck...it will offer you energy, confirmation and validation.  There will be fresh challenges along the way, but magick is all around you.  Stay on course.  All is working beautifully!

Personal Message:

Little unsure about this one today, I think it is something I will have to see play out.  I do know there are a couple of things in the works that this could relate to though.

New Oracle Cards!!!!

Okay a little happy dance of joy here - I have new oracle cards and I'm so excited.    They are the latest collaboration between Lucy Cavendish and Jasmine Becket-Griffith.  I already own the Oracle of Shadow and Light and I love this deck, it is amazingly accurate.  Now I own the Oracle of the Shapeshifters.  My plan is that the Shapeshifters oracle will be the one I take to work to do my draws etc in the morning.  The hope is that by doing this I will be able to get my daily draw going again.  The Shadows and Light I will use at home.

I adore Jasmine's artwork - it is so amazingly vivid that I have absolutely no issues reading the cards and getting the message that I'm meant to receive.  Yesterday when the cards arrived I flipped through them all and these are the four I enjoyed the most.

I don't think these are available in the USA yet, I think the Oracle of Shadows and Light only just released.  I purchased mine in Australia from Blue Angel Publishing and I personally feel its totally worth the extra expense.
