Valentine’s Tarot Reading

Tarot Card Reader

Valentine’s Day has different meanings to different people, but there is no doubt it is a day that is aimed at those that are in love and in relationships. So if you are single, recently divorced or you’re in a relationship but it is not in a great place, then the day can be one to endure and get through rather than celebrate.

Like many other celebrations in the world, Valentine’s Day has become a bit of a commercial affair. But this is a day with historical meaning that has in fact been celebrated since the 4th century BC.

Ways to embrace Valentine’s

One way to embrace Valentine’s Day this year is to have a Tarot reading; they are a great way of understanding your current situation and what future events might unfold. It might be that you want to know whether you will meet someone new who could be a potential long-term partner. Perhaps you are already in a relationship, but have some doubts about whether they are the one and you can go the distance? Maybe you are in a new relationship and it is too early to tell how you feel, and you just want some clarity on your choices? Or it could be that you have recently become separated or divorced and you are not sure whether you are ready to embark on a new relationship just yet…

Angels – Archangels – Cherubs & more…

Angels

Angels are frequently depicted as youthful and beautiful beings, symbolising their elevated status. They are commonly adorned in white attire, representing their purity and spirituality.

Cherubs

Frequently mistaken for Cherubim, cherubs or putti (derived from old Italian putto, which means ‘child’) were representations in Classical art of plump, unclothed infant figures, typically male and commonly depicted with wings. Cherubs are often depicted welcoming people to heaven, and they are frequently seen carrying musical instruments.

  • Cupid – associated with love and romance.
  • Baroque Putto – frequently carved into designs of furniture and architectural features on buildings, they are often gilded in gold for added reverence.
  • Memento Mori – as a symbol of innocence, often juxtaposed with a sign of mortality, signifying the transitory and cyclical nature of life.

Crystal Altar

Crystal Altar

If you enjoy crystal healing, why not set up a small crystal altar in your home to celebrate the winter season?

You can set up your crystal altar however it suits you. Many people like to decorate with candles, herbs, spiritual objects, healing bowls, and of course crystals. You might choose crystals that are in the same colour hue or those that lean towards a specific purpose – like love and harmony. Or you might want a setup that is conducive for meditation, charging energy, cleansing, spiritual connection, or healing. Some people even set them up in relation to the elements – Earth, Wind, Fire & Water. You could even take it one step further and include a ‘fifth’ element – whatever that means to you – ‘Ether’, ‘Psychic Intuition’, and so on.

Cleanse the Altar

If you have the space to place the altar in a low-traffic area of your home, that is ideal. However, regardless, it is still a good idea to cleanse the altar daily. You might choose to light a candle and let the fire/smoke cleanse the area. Alternatively, you could smudge the altar with sage or incense.

Fire Gods: Signs & Symbols

Fire Gods

With a nod to Bonfire Night on the 5th of November, in this month’s edition of signs & symbols, we take a look at Fire Gods.

On Bonfire Night, standing around a fire is quite fun as we light sparklers, eat yummy food, keep warm, and wait for fireworks to light up the sky. However, in other circumstances, fire can be quite dangerous. Over the centuries, it has come to represent war, chaos, purification, and regeneration. It is also linked to the sun, the colour red, the hearth and home, and even divine love.

Sober October

Sober October

You have likely heard of Dry January when people choose to cut out alcohol after a month of excess in December and throughout Christmas and New Year. But, increasing trends are towards cutting back before a period of excess rather than after – hence Sober October.

Increasingly, younger generations are consuming less alcohol; it is thought, that Gen-Z drink, on average 20% less than Millenials, and they drink less than the previous generation. This behaviour may be because of economics, but the driving factor is likely an increased awareness of health, and the impact lifestyle factors have on mental and physical wellbeing.

Poltergeists

Poltergeists

Today, I wanted to explore entities known as poltergeists. These are often linked with ghosts or mistakenly thought to be identical. Nonetheless, significant distinctions exist between these two supernatural beings.

Ghosts are actually spirits that were once living among us in this realm, (whether they be human or animal) and have passed away and transitioned into the spirit world. Hence, ghosts were always formerly living humans or animals who maintain a connection to our earth. They possess the memories of being alive in their previous physical bodies and frequently manifest themselves to us in that form.

Runes – Part 1

Runes

.||. It was some time later before they were used for the purpose of divination. At that point they were known as the Elder Futhark. Originally Runes were carved into small pieces of wood, but nowadays they can be found carved into many different materials. Traditionally they are kept in a fabric pouch. As well as casting to divine the future, folk select their favourite Rune/meaning and keep them close to act as talismans. They can also be used to enhance meditation. Or as a singular divination tool when you want a specific question answering.

Norse Legend

Norse legend just underlines further the allure and power behind Runes. The story goes that Odin who was the God of magic and the underworld, impaled himself with a spear and was hung by his feet from branches of Yggdrasil (Tree of the World). Over the course of 9 days and nights, he searched for enlightenment and was eventually rewarded with runes lying on the ground below.

Thoughts are just thoughts…

Thoughts

Have you ever taken the time to figure out how many thoughts you have in a day? I’m guessing the count would be quite high. On some days, especially when busy or focused on work or an activity, your thoughts may be less intrusive. However, during moments of solitude and quiet, these thoughts might become more intrusive and unwelcome.

It is undeniable that our minds are constantly active, and the thoughts we have throughout the day can be random, peculiar, or even bizarre – similar to how our dreams can be during night time.

Noisy Thoughts

Just because a thought crosses your mind does not make it a fact or deserving of extra attention. When feeling low, experiencing depression, or heightened anxiety levels, it becomes challenging to silence these noisy thoughts. We tend to give them more attention as they align with our current mood. Unfortunately, negative thoughts often trigger a cycle leading to more negativity and consequently worsening our mood.
