Weekly Wisdom by Mirasol – 10 August 2018

by  on  in anthropology of the tarot, judgement, mirasol, motherpeace tarot, weekly wisdom

In the Judgement card, the rainbow colours of peace flow from the heart centre of the Egyptian ankh cross, which symbolises life force, and in the Motherpeace, the cross is also a symbol of Venus, the Goddess of love. A circle of spirit balances on the cross, which further represents earth’s four elements.

The card is an exceptional image of the moment of truth, when we have truly seen and forgiven ourselves, accepted our traits and integrated these, enabling us to access divine presence. The Judgement indicates that a shift in awareness has occurred, however, you may not be consciously aware of what has happened, but this shift alters your reality for good. You are taking responsibility for choices and making wise judgements.

The message of the Judgement is synchronised with the opening of the Lionsgate on 8/8 which brought our attention to the activation of the heart chakra and the third eye. Now is the time to forgive and ascend, and let the heart and soul connection integrate fully.  This card brings an end to suffering and a beginning to spiritual resurrection. This is the card of the divine healer, the transcendent and non-attached channel, through which the forces of the universe flow. When human awareness is raised to heart level, we enter an altered state of consciousness which heals and generates extraordinary power.

 

The Judgement Meditation

Try this meditation with the Judgement and note what the card wants to tell you.

Sit down in a quiet space.

Focus on the image of the Judgement and take a few deep breaths.

Observe how the rainbow colours are flowing from the cross onto Mother Earth and simultaneously, the colours are flowing back into the cross. Sense how the colours flow out from the card and connect wth your heart chakra and then embrace all parts of your body, soul and mind. These coloured vibrations are making you aware of your potential through awakened attention. Accept the transformation.

Stay in meditation for 5 to 10 minutes.

 

After the meditation, journal about the below questions:

How could you work with the idea of ascension to be more grounded in who you truly are?

What can you do to support your community in a heart-centred way?

 

Rise with the new energies and let go of that heaviness, learn how to say no to things which no longer serve you. The right path has unfolded, be brave and walk on it.

Weekly Wisdom by Mirasol-20 July 2018

by  on  in anthropology of the tarot, mirasol, motherpeace tarot, tarot, three of wands, weekly wisdom

The Three of Wands shows us a mother and her two children in front of a wall painted with animals and a female figure holding a crescent moon. The mother carries a flaming wand, a light source of fire, and shows her children to paint with freedom and to express their creativity without fear. Placing their hands on the wall and leaving marks, the children express happiness and the wonder of creation. The card signifies communication and the joy of self-expression and that by manifesting ideas, we learn about life. By painting our own walls, not as a shield to continuously protect us, but as an expression of our dreams and desires, we can create trust and explore the world as a colourful canvas.

With the four current retrogrades in mind, Mars, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto and the fifth, Mercury starting 26 July, the Three of Wands can assist us in retrieving our creative drive and focus on that which is important. Each of the planets emphasise parts of us which need healing. Mars focusing on our drive and determination, Saturn on structure and discipline, Neptune on dreams and healing, Pluto on power and transformation and Mercury on the mind and communication.  What is missing in your life and needs attention? Working with the qualities of the planets we can balance the lack, or equally the excess within us.

 

Three of Wands Meditation

Try this meditation with the Three of Wands and listen to what the card is whispering to you.

Sit down in a quiet space.

Focus on the image of Three of Wands and take a few deep breaths.

Observe how the mother is teaching her children to create and to explore their ideas and imagination. She is guiding them through a creative process without any limits.

Stay in meditation for 5 to 10 minutes.

 

After the meditation, journal about the below questions:

Which one of the planetary qualities within you is asking for attention?

Which one do you want to explore more?

 

Explore new options as you continue to heal. Do not force the progress but instead stay alert and resting at the same time. Create your own canvas as you ground your ideas for the coming months.

Weekly Wisdom by Mirasol – 9 July 2018

The Magician steps forward as our guide this week. Her gift is to masterfully balance the elements in the Tarot. She commands the fire, pours the water, expels the earth and charges the air. In her ecstatic dance she can transform substances and create new ones, by doing so, she ensures that you become fulfilled on all levels. She wears animal skin in order to identify magically with its’ essence and to embody its’ power. In her role as a mediator between two worlds, the inner spiritual heaven and the outer physical earth, she is responsible to herself and the larger organism, the world. The Magician is looking at The Sphinx, the physical merging of the animal and human forms, who holds ancestral secrets.

What can The Magician teach us? Her advice is corresponding with Jupiter turning direct Tuesday 10 July after being retrograde since 8 March. Jupiter’s gift through Scorpio magnifies the secretive layers which we desire from the depths of our souls. This synchronises with The Magician who encourages us to rejoice with Jupiter by shaking off our old skin and instead employing elemental manifestation to reset and focus on that which is truly important. Her shamanic dance conveys a message of freedom by committing to yourself and your inner vision. By withdrawing from the negativity of those who drag you down, you can speak your truth and you will be heard. Cleanse your aura and step out of your comfort zone now and be ready to shine.

 

The Magician’s message

Try this meditation with The Magician and listen to what she has to say to you.

 

Sit down in a quiet space.

Focus on the image of The Magician and take a few deep breaths.

Observe her initiation to the sacred self by commanding the elements and dancing her divine power into being through the embodiment of her animal ally.

Stay in meditation for 5 to 10 minutes.

 

After the meditation, journal about the below questions:

In what role have you stagnated?

What can you do to free yourself from your old skin?

 

Dance like The Magician and sense how you gradually shake off the the residues of any imposed past identities. Welcome Jupiter’s direct movement with a toast of abundance and don’t be afraid of the area where the Scorpio’s wisdom lights your destiny.

Weekly Wisdom by Mirasol – 20 June 2018

by  on  in 7 of cups, cups, june 2018, mirasol, motherpeace tarot, tarot, weekly wisdom

Our guide for this week is the Seven of Cups from the beautiful, feminine and insightful Motherpeace Tarot created by Karen Vogel and Vicki Noble.  The Motherpeace is a deck which is anthropologically evocative and inviting when investigating themes of transformation, discovery and self-healing.

The Seven of Cups shows us a woman holding a net, upon her head sits a large cup from which water flows into the other six cups. The card brings a message of imagination, dreaminess, watery visions, fantasy and an abundance of choices. The dove, representing Aphrodite’s bird, activates oracular power to enable us to choose that one special wish of many.

This dreamy and watery energy is synchronised with the Summer Solstice and the Cancer season arriving  21 June. Experiencing the longest day with heightened solar energy and Cancerian water infuses a celebration of the fiery masculine and watery feminine aspects of ourselves. The directional south in the Medicine Wheel is the place of fire and action, whereas some Native American groups invoke water in this direction, which would resonate with the water element of the Cancer.

Take extra care of yourself during this time. When we enter the emotional and watery Cancer, deep self-healing becomes more evident and also more accessible. Her nourishing gifts connect us to our hidden emotions and invites us to nurture community and self, often in a reciprocal relationship.

In Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the fairy dust awoke the innermost dreams of love for the characters, which resonates with the dreamy aspects of the Seven of Cups.  Remember that the card suggests to choose our wishes wisely, some of them might not be the ones we truly want when accessing our heart space.  When a choice is made, we can energise our dream during the Summer Solstice, and by finding the balance within us during the longest day and shortest night, the wish is activated with the potency of both fire and water.

 

Solstice Reflection

Take a few minutes and gaze on the Seven of Cups and find stillness inside yourself.

Observe how the water is poured into the cups and how the flow of the liquid brings movement of many ideas.

Take a deep breath and relax.

Sit in silence for a few minutes.

 

Then consider the below questions:

What is your most heartfelt wish at the moment?

What can you do to nurture this wish?

 

Journal your answers with words or/and imagery in your notebook.

Say thank you and know it will be so.
