i'm not going to bother making any jewelry for the time being. i'm out of silver sheet, i'm out of wire, and unless those economic stimulus checks start reflecting in my Etsy shop, i'm just going to put it aside for a bit.

Divination: Sacred Tools for Reading the Mind of God

Paul O'Brien

The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Six of Poetry (Cooperation): "Gods are visions of the eternal attributes, or divine names: They ought to be the servants, and not the masters of man... Cooperating in the bliss of Man obeying his Will Servants to the infinite & Eternal of the Human Form". Ability to evoke what you need by using personifying and mythologizing as creative tools. Special help is on the way. Accessing your own unconscious powers. Creative traveling. Soaring to success through teamwork. Dealing with those in high places. Acting as the courier of important information. In the creative process: This is a time to rely on your intuition to invoke the "eternal attributes" you need to get the job done; cooperate with your visions.

I have always used this time in my blogging to reflect on interpersonal issues, I have seldom sought guidance in the Tarot. Today is different and sadly unfulfilling. What is happening in my life has nothing to do with cooperation with outside forces or creative travelling. Perhaps I should attempt a little meditation, travel to an unconscious place. At least maybe inspiration for a poem or such, perhaps. Anyway, of to the mundane, the work, and the boring.

The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Stars: Renewal of hope. Feeling connected with cosmic or universal energies. As Above, So Below. Opening your eyes to the highest potential of your situation. Getting in touch with your own creative powers. Self-esteem. Far-reaching effects. Receiving recognition for your abilities. Doing your own thing, no matter what.

Now this is EXACTLY what I was looking for!! It's time for me to return to who I am, what I've become and focus on where I'm going. I feel her again, my muse is awakening. I worried that I would forget, that my addiction would subside, and I would find new interests. Instead I kept my faith, allowed myself to rest, and now I am prepared to continue my journey. The tides of the journey ebb and flow, but persistance accounts for so much in my life. It's good to feel as if I am "back". Cheers!

The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Six of Painting (Assistance): Giving or receiving favors or tangible help of some kind. Sponsorship or patronage. A positive influence in the situation. Although "over your head," an angel may rescue you. Generosity of spirit. Being charitable. Assisting those in need. In the creative process: You can attract the assistance and tools you need by using your imagination and not giving up hope.

Assistance from a benefactor, something I could use right about now. I do not rely on others, but to accept guidance from them is another thing entirely. I love connecting with people who know more than I do, in that I can learn from them. Sadly, I have one mind numbing meeting today that may interfere with my mentorship meeting later on. I think I'm motivated enough today to start accomplishing tasks I've put off for far too long.

The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Child of Painting: Riding the wave of prosperity. A time to show your hand and reveal your innate powers. Enjoying a position of material advantage. Putting forth charisma. Hedonistic enjoyment. Drug experimentation. Surfing the Internet. Total absorption in your activities. Trusting your body and instincts. Open to new experiences. In the creative process: Now is a time to experiment with processes and materials, taking great pleasure in what you learn and create.

Where the hell did this come from? I certainly do not feel like experimenting today. I was more - put to the test, so to speak. I've worked on my inner self for so long, molding it, changing it, making it what I wished it to be. Steel untested will never have its strength proven. I do not fear that I won't pass, because I already have. I have certainly come out better than when I started. Let's see if class tonight will spark my creativity!

The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Ten of Painting (Delight): Your work or ideal takes on a life of it own. Financial prosperity. Achievement or promotion on the job. Inheriting something of tangible or permanent value. Family gatherings and traditions. Finding your roots. Active involvement in community and societal spheres. In the creative process: The success of completion of your project is cause for celebration and an opportunity to honor all the gods and spirits that participated in your benefit.

Is it yet time to take joy in my hard work? Of this I am doubtful, but one never knows. What I am certain of is that my efforts lately have been on a much grander scale than previously experienced. I am appreciative of all who've touched me and all who I have touched. I would not trade this life for any other, as I am the best me there is. My choices are my own and I make them with eyes wide open. The engine of self discovery creates its own energy.

The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Two of Music (Contraries): "Without Contraries is no progression. Attraction and Repulsion, Reason and Energy, Love and Hate, are necessary to Human existence". A paradoxical situation at hand. Being faced with emotional choices. Different kinds of energies needing to be harmonized. Attraction of opposites. Focus on strengthening friendship and partnership. Transcending differences. Exchanges for mutual benefit. Being willing to meet someone halfway. In the creative process: Use the presence of contrary elements as an impetus for unleashing your imagination to exploit the inherent possibilities.

Newton's reason shines down upon Milton's art. The only conflict I have tonight is picking up a  saxophone versus completing my group project. Sadly, I have to do both. Today does lend itself to being an enlightening one, as I intend to get more deeply ingrained with my new company. I have been in a state of professional "flux" recently, more focused on my fantastic, if not challenging, personal life. It is interesting in that every time a rough patch surfaces, I seem to tamp it down. Life is not always bliss, but that does not mean we do no struggle to acheive it. At least the journey is pleasant.
