This week we will journey with three cards, Spirit Guide, Dreams and Confidence, from the Spellcasting Oracle Cards. In the first card, Spirit Guide, we see the face of a dark haired woman against a glowing full moon, with the reversed image reflected underneath. The card shows us the manifestation powers of the parallel world. We are capable of true wishes coming true, as long as we ask with integrity for them to appear. We are guided by Spirit in all our endeavours and we also receive important guidance from our ancestors and spirit guides at this time.
The Dreams card shows us the image of a reclining woman, she appears to be in deep sleep. Multiple moons in the background give the card a dreamlike vibration. The card reminds us to attend to our dreams, notice recurring themes and what they might mean to you. Remember the transformation of day into night and back into day and then night again. The ever-moving cycle of dark and light is also inside of us. Trust that the dreams you recall have a meaning for you and decide how to best work with them to reveal more of your own journey.
In the third card, Confidence, a female angel with purple wings is looking towards the sky, standing on a mountain, she is offering her chest to the sky, opening her heart to her true passion. This card indicates that you are capable of more than you believe. Focus on your self-healing, relax and expand your heart chakra. Engage in grounding activities to gather strength in order to be ready to move forward when the opportunity arises.
With the sun in Pisces we may feel slow and dreamy, wanting to go into an introverted state of self-nurture. We may also experience irritation when we are pulled out of the dream-time into reality. Tread with caution and stay grounded, protect your own sphere and make a safe space for retreat until you are ready to emerge. Embody the last sign of the Zodiac and the Piscean inner-work which is an excellent period to magnify your own dream-space and spend time in its vibration. The time for action begins with the new astrological year and arrival of Aries in a few weeks but now it is time to heal and rest.
Meditation with Spirit Guide, Dreams and Confidence
Try this meditation with Spirit Guide, Dreams and Confidence.
Sit down in a quiet space. Take a few deep breaths and relax.
Look at the three cards. Observe which one draws you in the most. Is it Spirit Guide, with the face of a female ancestor/spirit guide who is reflecting the two sides of our lives, the conscious and subconscious. Or are you attracted to Dreams, where the imagery is moving in different time-lines, and where we learn how to spend time in the dream-space without any obligations to anybody else than ourselves. Perhaps Confidence is calling you, the feeling of freedom and having wings to fly off and create your own reality with a new-found energy.
Relax and let your feeling guide you to a focal point and stay there for a while.
Stay in meditation for 5 to 10 minutes.
After the meditation, journal about the below questions:
How do you feel about your own dream-time?
Is there anything you can do to form a deeper connection to your dream journeys?
Additional practice – Blue Aventurine and Third eye healing
In this week’s additional practice we will journey with Blue Aventurine, which is a variety of quartz containing blue Dumortierite. Aventurine in general contain inclusions of mica and other minerals, exhibiting a sparkling effect referred to as aventurescence. The name Aventurine derives from the Italian a ventura or all’avventura, meaning by chance. This was inspired by iridescent Italian glass from the 1700s, accidentally created when metal filings dropped into a vat of melting glass. The cooled glass contained randomly spaced iridescent sparkles, which was made into objects and beads for jewellery, a practice which continues today. Aventurine remains a popular material for items and also as a landscaping, building and monumental stone.
Blue Aventurine has a gentle energy and it promotes peace and understanding. It enhances honest communication between the mind and the heart and promotes self-discipline, decisions and their fulfilment. Blue Aventurine shows us how to take responsibility of our own lives and it strengthens masculine energy in both men and women. It supports us to make changes if our current life-path feels stuck. Blue Aventurine resonates with the third eye and the throat chakras and it can open us to spiritual guidance and unblock psychic and intuitive abilities. It can release bad habits and negative traits and it promotes leadership and respect. Blue Aventurine is also a crystal of adventure and safe travels. It heals any worries which may arise during change.
For the healing ceremony, lie down in a comfortable position. Place the Blue Aventurine above your crown chakra. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths and relax. Imagine that you are sitting in a forest under a full moon sky. It is spring and the night air is fresh and comfortable. You gaze up at the moon and notice how round and beautiful it is. You decide to lie down on the soft forest floor, it is covered with silky moss, emanating a calming scent. When you lie down your body starts to feel very relaxed and you move your body into a comfortable position. You feel supported by the forest and all its’ beings and sounds, and you start to drift away. You look up towards the sky and you notice a beam of blue light approaching you. The blue light comes closer to you and you feel it creating a healing blue cocoon around your body. The healing blue light is caressing your aura and removing any blocks you may have. It finds its way around your body and goes to the parts needing healing. You lie in the comforting energy of the blue light for a while. Then you feel the blue light on your third eye, and it cleanses it, goes deep down to remove any debris blocking your vision. You feel very calm and lovely as the blue energy heals your third eye. You stay in this energy for while. Notice if there are any messages coming through to you now, these may come in words, images, sounds or smells. After a while you notice how the blue energy is leaving your body. You feel very calm and renewed and decide to sit up again. Looking around, you notice the forest feels different, you can see more details and the colours are deeper and you can hear a wider range of sounds. Your third eye has been cleansed and healed and it will support you in your onward journey.
Slowly open your eyes and come back to the present. Take a deep breath and say thank you to Blue Aventurine and its’ healing gifts. You can repeat this practice anytime you feel you need to cleanse and heal your third eye.
