Weekly Wisdom by Mirasol – 23 June 2019

The Priestess of Cups from the Motherpeace Tarot is our guide this week. In this card, the Priestess is depicted as a mermaid sitting on the shore. There is a tower behind her, partly clouded and situated on a steep hill. She holds a lyre in her left hand, playing beautiful music, which is heard by the whale jumping out of the ocean. The mermaid priestess does not rely on verbal communication, instead she conveys her message via the sound of the seven-stringed lyre.

Receiving this card is a reminder that now is the time to focus our thoughts within and let our feelings and desires be central to our very being. By adopting the role of the archetypal muse, the mermaid priestess inspires us to find our inner creatress. Her unconscious thoughts yield to the ocean of collective memory where new ideas will be conceived. The mermaid priestess represents the soul and the inner part of us, and she mediates between the spirit world and our daily life and between the sky and earth. Being all water, the mermaid priestess channels feelings, desires, dreams and inner visions. She also promotes the nourishment of the womb, mother-love and divine inspiration. She swims through the unconscious like a fish and at the same time she breathes and thinks like a human.

The card is synchronised with the post-Solstice watery energy of the Cancer season. We can now rest and nourish by going inward and considering with a grateful heart all that we have achieved so far this year. Trust that all is as it should be and that your intuition is receiving the profound messages for you to act on when the time is right. Your deep feminine power is rising.

Meditation with the Priestess of Cups

Do this meditation with the Priestess of Cups and tune into what the card wants to say to you.

Sit down in a quiet space. Take a few deep breaths and relax.

Focus on the image of the mermaid priestess sitting on the shore. Notice how mystically serene she looks, playing the lyre, sending messages from her unconscious to be collected by those who are ready to listen. Hear her music as you gaze into the image. Smell the ocean’s waves as the whale jumps up and down, and observe as she communicates with the mermaid priestess. The healing water of the image is refreshing and nourishing your femininity, bringing you back to your core-self.

Stay in meditation for 5 to 10 minutes.

After the meditation, journal about the below questions.

How have your nourished your feminine receptivity lately?

How can you unite your inner dream world with your daily life?

Additional practice – connecting to your spiritual creativity with Celestite

Celestite is a beautiful translucent pale blue crystal which is calming, soft and positive. The internal structure of celestite is orthorhombic and its’ high-vibrational healing frequency radiates in all directions. The name celestite comes from the Latin caelestis, meaning “celestial” or “heavenly,” referring to the blue colour of the sky. It connects us to the angelic realm, ignites clairvoyance, dream recall, and calms anxiety and panic attacks. Celestite is a stone of creativity and promotes the skills of artists, musicians and writers. It expands our consciousness and ability to receive wisdom from the divine source and teaches us to patiently trust in the divine process. Celestite is associated with the Roman Goddess Juterna who watches over brooks, ponds, wells and springs, providing nourishment and health. It is also connected to the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, Haniel, and Seraphiel.

For the healing ceremony, lie down in a comfortable place. Place the celestite on your sacral chakra. Imagine how the beautiful pale blue colour of the celestite nourishes your sacral area. Sense how any blockages you have in receiving the very best for you is lifted away. Feel how the sky-blue colour is deepening your connection to your inner muse, the divine and angelic realm. Note any messages you receive at this point.

Take a deep breath and say thank you to celestite and its’ healing gift.

Repeat this practice as often as you wish. It will help to awaken your creativity and your receptivity to divine messages.

Monthly Muses by Flavia – June 2019

by  on  in anthropology of the tarot, flavia, il mantegna, June 2019, monthly muses, new moon

It is June and summer has officially started. It’s also Gemini season when we naturally become more curious, adventurous and sociable. The new moon in Gemini is a calling to favour a breadth of activities rather than depth in what we do. And it will be busy. Venus enters Gemini on the 8th of June, strengthening the vibe of flirtation, living in the moment and finding beauty in experiences and mental stimulation. All this is taking place right in the middle of the year. It is a time for taking stock and recalibrating our intentions, examining our situation and progress. We look at our achievements in the year so far, what was a triumph, and what has let us down or veered in the wrong direction, now we can set it straight or add to previous glories.

Thinking about it from that perspective, the cards that turned up look rather ominous. Messages of bad news or difficult forebodings, even notions of misfortune. But let’s take them in Gemini style. Not one at a time, but all together simultaneously. Lets try and listen to their meaning as they all talk to us at once. What do they tell us? Perhaps they tell us: we are at the beginning of everything. In some sense or another agency is with us.

We can make a course correction as we assess where we stand in relation to people and circumstances. Even at the lowest point emotionally or physically – the number one – is that we can keep our dignity and self respect, our pride and self acceptance with humility. We might be experiencing a level of anxiety or just exhaustion from a long and demanding winter. We could be feeling a heavy energy not because we are in a bad place – indeed the opposite is just as likely – but because to get where we are, took a lot out of us.

We are still carrying a heavy load we can’t let go of, and we need support. How we feel and see the world is important. The challenges we face tell us there’s a lot that has to be resolved. In order to do this, we are going to be kind to ourselves. If we need help, we should ask for it, and it’s there for us. If others need our help, we should not hesitate. A reminder that helping others is part of our own well-being, strength and dignity. Charity starts at home and it is personal as the Sun moves through the lower part of the chart, regardless where it stands on the individual one. Love, forgiveness, generosity and everything associated with Charity will guide us in moving forward.

The Misero is moving slowly. His message is to take it easy, and keep going, bring determination and acceptance into the forefront. It’s not time yet to materialise the possibilities. But they are ahead of us. What seems rough on the outside is only the beginning, not the end. We are back at the beginning of everything every single day. And there is the other side to get to. We are not there yet. Let’s not rush the journey.
