Hanafuda: Japanese Culture Dealt in a Deck of Cards

Games that I played while growing up have a special place in my heart and none more so than the humble but elegant game of Hanafuda or flower cards. I loved competing with my grandparents in Hanafuda because the cards were visually stunning and mysteriously old-fashioned. Perhaps the biggest reason for my enthusiasm is that … Continue reading →

Mother Mary’s message for you

My child, there are things I perceive, observe and feel that are not visible or audible to humankind. My beloved, I see the beginnings of progress before you do yourself. Because the seed takes all its might to force its way up into the heavy soil that gives sustenance, you must believe me when I tell you that you too are flourishing!

 

In order for it to find its way, it has to be determined to do so. With even the most dedicated gardener watching over it, the seed has to break open in order for the plant to thrive. So, see me as the heavenly gardener and you as my beautiful seed. I cannot wait to watch you grow and grow!

What you need to know

In the beginning, indications of spiritual development might be hard to detect within yourself, but eventually they become so blatant that your entire universe will change. Bear in mind that you must work with tremendous faith even when you can no longer feel your own progress taking place.

 

Our Lady  is here to let you know that you are actually changing and that your beliefs are one of the most important tools you have on the way to enlightenment. You are growing in purposeful power each and every day and this will continue to be so as you move on into the future!

Prayer for healing

Believe in yourself, listen to that small little voice inside your head rather than what other people try to advise you to do. Believe in yourself and pray. The Divine Mother’s compassion will safeguard and nourish your blooming as a result of your devotion.

 

As soon as you are ready, say this prayer or one of your own, “Our Lady of Quiet Blossoming, I sense your presence close to me as you walk by my side throughout all I do in life. I am your tiny seed that becomes stronger and bigger each day. I’m working on having more faith in myself, my intuition and my gut instincts!”

Mother Mary’s message for you

Today, my most beautiful child, I want you to release any fears you have about being scrutinised. Even though you’ve had to deal with a lot of tragedies in your life, you’re still the same person within. Take a chance on me; I won’t harm you in any way.

 

You may confide in me about anything since I am able to perceive your innermost thoughts, feelings and desires. When you trust in confiding in me with things that you don’t even feel comfortable admitting to yourself, I will never criticise. I am here to help you grow and accept yourself, my child.

What you need to know

Even if we enjoy the advantages that come with adulthood, we cannot guarantee that they will bring us pleasure. There are instances when a negative event may warp our perspective on life as a whole as well as the people in our immediate environment. However, we are limiting the freedom of our soul by harbouring negative thoughts. Thankfully,  we have the potential to set ourselves free by looking at the world through the eyes of a child.

 

Know always that you are in Mother Mary’s prayers as she hopes that you have a happy life. She urges you to view the world as if you were seeing it for the first time, with childlike wonder. Enjoy living in the here and now and give yourself permission to laugh as well as to have fun!

Prayer for healing

You are bathed in a kaleidoscope of sound and light that illuminates and encircles you. You feel revitalised as you  feel reborn via this holy water cleansing you from old upsetting memories as well as negative ways of being and seeing yourself.

 

As you relax, let the comfort of her love wash over you. Then  say, ” Assist me in regaining a sense of innocence and faith in myself, the Mother Mary of Innocence. May I be a beacon of hope for those who need to see their own essential purity. We pray that for the sake of humanity, truth and morality may triumph over lies and ego.”

7d3ca9db-ee8a-4db2-b884-f64378580c28.f1a990ccfc579a3cacf92efb503c8977

You have to be a shining example for others, constantly improve yourself, and work for a higher purpose if you want to fully live. It is imperative that you pay attention to my advice, even if it looks that something you hold dear is starting to lose its lustre or that someone in which you have placed your confidence is letting you down.

 

I ask that you continue to make yourself open to me even if you are now experiencing feelings of having been betrayed or broken. The same divine fire that is raging inside of of me is now starting to blaze inside of you. Therefore, please have faith that you will overcome all that you need to!

What you need to know

It is easy to be persuaded by less rewarding choices when our spiritual fire is weak. Possibly, we wish for a relationship that never totally transpires, or perhaps occurs for a little while before revealing itself to be considerably less significant than we first anticipated. Perhaps you are one of the many people who dream of making millions of dollars, only to learn that even if you do, you still won’t be totally satisfied.

 

You see, in order to feel really connected to our divine destiny, we must allow our desires to ignite for something greater than our own selfish wants. We need to burn with holy fire to make the world better and to help others as well as ourselves. We need to truly live a divine life putting Mother Mary at the centre.

Prayer for healing

“Dear Mother Mary, I humbly ask that you help me find my true calling in life. My spiritual embers need to blaze hotter than ever. As I continue to glorify your divine name, I forgive myself for previous mistakes and situations that were not in my best interests.

 

Please, Our Lady of Holy Fire, enable me to engage you so that you can assist me to make wise decisions as I plan for the future. Rather than relying exclusively on my own poor understanding of the universe, allow me to place my faith in you. Please, Mother, guide me on the right direction in my life.”

“Our Lady of Soul Birth”

Mother Mary’s message for you

Although you may have sometimes felt that you are alone, this has never been so, my dear one. We have never been separated – not for a minute. When you are happy, I am happy. When you cry tears of sadness, so too do I weep. Throughout your journey I have held you in my loving arms. Have faith that nothing can ever change this. You are safe with me always!

I accept you for everything that you are, my child. You can be yourself with me because I am your mother and I know who you are. When you are unhappy within yourself, it makes me unhappy too. Similarly, when you love yourself I feel so happy! So, just love yourself, love the world and continue to love me. You are the light that this planet needs to thrive. Always remember this!

What you need to know

The journey of the soul is never simple or easy. As well as the good times, there are also the not-so-great ones to deal with. However, for all the grief, upset, shame and guilt, there is always that flip side. Pure joy, happiness and laughter make you the wonderful being you are. You are the sum of all your experiences so you should honour both these and yourself.

You see, it is only through being whole that we are capable of allowing the divine to manifest through us. So, to fully live, it’s crucial to open up your heart and your soul to Mother Mary and to all the blessed miracles she wishes to bestow upon you. Have faith that through this you will become an instrument of her grace!

Prayer for healing

Close your eyes as you imagine that you are brimming full of the golden light of Mother Mary. You can feel pure happiness and joy enveloping you. You are both laughing together as you enjoy every precious moment! This is truly blissful.

When you are ready, say the following, “Beautiful Mother, burning bright with your heavenly goodness, we are both one together! Be with me throughout everything that I do. Provide me with everything I need to become the best me I can be. I ask for you to always provide my soul with your nourishing love and light!”

Mother Mary’s message for you

You’re struggling, my precious child. It is possible that the world around you is mirroring the conflict that’s going on. You need to understand that there are contrasting points of view that need to find a way to live peacefully beside each another. So, do not punish yourself for anything. The fact that these problems have reached a head has nothing to do with anything you have done.

 

My child, you are making excellent headway in everything you set out to do. Trust that I will protect you and see you through this. I will make sure that you find a way for everyone to successfully collaborate with one another as I bring complete happiness into all areas of life. Know that your search for serenity will soon be over!

What you need to know

In life, there are just so many options. With this in mind, it is logical to expect that some judgements will be easy, whereas others will need a lot of effort. So, in order to succeed, you need to make good choices that benefit your own learning and expansion.

 

It is conceivable that you are now dealing with conflicting thoughts, wants, ambitions or objectives. Just take comfort in the fact that this confusion will not last for long. Please just make sure you remember that Our Lady is here to show you that there are other options.

Prayer for healing

“Mother Mary, once I take the step that I’m about to, I have trust that there are fresh adventures that are waiting for me. Because I am unable to make these decisions by myself, I humbly wish to seek your advice and assistance in determining what course of action is appropriate for me to take.”

“Please provide me the ability to think clearly and to make sound decisions no matter what situation I find myself in. I put my faith in you and trust that you will shed some light on the path that lies in front of me. You have always been the divine hand that has guided me through the night.”

What you need to know

Assure yourself that Our Lady’s blessing is only bestowed when you are ready to receive it. Do be prepared though to have moments when you question whether or not you are ready for what is being requested of you when the blessing begins its work.  Sometimes you might wonder whether or not you are capable of coping with whatever is going on without your world collapsing totally.

 

Have confidence that you will triumph, though, thanks to the love of Our Lady Of Blessing Bestowed. Of course,things won’t always be easy and that’s okay. Just have faith that if you feel that things are difficult, it’s an indication that you are maturing and moving on from a history that no longer serves your soul’s long-term interests.

Prayer for healing

The beauty of this specific blessing is that it comes at exactly the perfect time. And, it’s not at all necessary for you to even be aware that a blessing is taking place for it to do its purpose. Mother Mary works in mysterious ways that we don’t need to understand to gain her rewards.

 

An excellent prayer to offer up to her is, “I approach the grace and gifts that Our Lady bestows upon me with a heart that is completely open and prepared to be full to bursting with joy. As I proceed along the pathway of compassion, tolerance and love, I am bringing myself more into sync with the universe. As I show grace and affection to everybody I come into contact with, I am able to acknowledge the gifts that have been provided to me!”

Mother Mary’s message for you:

My child, I am Our Lady of Love who calls you home to me. I surround you with my unending love as I hold you close. You have no worry or fear within you. It’s time for you to cast aside any doubt as you break down the walls you have built around you for so long.

My heart is your heart. My love lives in you. We are a heavenly team with only love, forgiveness and hope within our hearts. Open the gates of love wide for me. Allow me to share everything I am with you. Together, our love will pour out to nourish the world! Let everything you do be born from a place of deep and everlasting love.

What you need to know

You are being called by Our Lady to love completely. Let this be all-encompassing as you open your heart to the world. Yes, there has been hurt within you in the past. You may even be hurting now. However, Mother Mary is guiding you to learn to love again with wonder and innocence in your heart. It’s okay to be vulnerable because Our Lady is protecting you with her healing energy. Surrender into the sensual beauty of who you are. It’s okay.

Our Lady of Love is urging you to build a beautiful home for yourself. Everyone needs a sanctuary. By building a home, this could mean in the literal sense, for example, making your home nice for yourself or it could mean that you need to open up more to the divine by finding your safe spot within your heart where you can dwell happily and that you can share with others who are deserving of it.

Prayer for healing

As you sit in stillness, see a beautiful rainbow of protective light around you. Nothing can hurt you ever again. Feel the warmth and comfort of this protection so you can call on it whenever you need to. Enjoy how you are feeling. Take mental note of everything you are experiencing. When you are completely relaxed and ready, say the following prayer:

“My Holy Mother, you love me without condition. I am empowered by your love and light. I am your warrior of love here on earth, walking along your heavenly path of freedom. By your grace, assist me to open my heart to love. May its healing energy transform my life, making me your vessel to spread love and joy throughout the world.”

Mother Mary’s message for you

Every one of your prayers is indeed heard, my beloved child. You may not always feel this way since solutions often appear in unexpected places, however, the main thing is that they appear. With this in mind, know that there are better times that are coming your way.

 

I ask that you pay heed to everything you observe, express, think, and perceive because it’s conceivable that you already have the information you’re looking for. In addition, you may also obtain assistance from unexpected persons, signs, publications, or circumstances.

What you need to know

It is critical to realise that unanswered prayers are just as important as those that are responded to. You see, it is when we surrender our goals, desires, hopes, and wants to the divine, we frequently lose sight of what is going on under the surface and in the greater scheme of things. As a result, our unanswered prayer might turn out to be a miracle.

 

Angels frequently respond to our petitions by providing us with thoughts or knowledge in pretty mundane ways. The angels suggest that you take note of everything you observe, think, believe, and feel. Keep an eye out for and welcome any support that comes your way. You absolutely deserve this help.

Prayer for healing

Focus on your breathing and repeat the following, “My darling Mother Mary, with your love and devotion, bless me with the prospect of a new road to happiness. Change and transition consume me now. I am ready to carry out your work here on earth to honour your name always!”

 

“In order to accelerate the process of my regeneration, I offer up all of my anxieties, fears, and pain. When you lead me to new places both inside and beyond myself, I know that I can rely on you. I’m safe because I’ve discovered a place to call home in you.”

Divine Feminine | Mother Mary – “Our Lady With the Moon at her Feet” – September 30, 2022

Mother Mary’s message for you

I am aware of your deepest concerns and petitions, my beloved. I know exactly how you’re feeling. I’ve heard you reaching out to me in the silence. And, while it may seem as if doors are always slamming in your face, there are plenty that will open to you very soon.

 

My dearest, trust in me. With the sun and moon at my feet, I’m here to encourage you to place your confidence and holy belief in me. I’ll walk with you to help you let go of the things that no longer serve you.  It’s possible to get what you want and I’m here to assist you in doing it!

What you need to know

Humans are seekers of routine and consistency. Even those of us who are always looking for ways to liven things up a bit and get a kick out of trying something different still have activities that we look forward to and like doing even if we have been doing them for many years. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume even if we know the aspects of our lives that require modification, it may still be challenging to avoid reverting to previous behaviours in the long run.

 

Having said all this, Our Lady With the Moon at her Feet is there to provide you with assistance as she guides you through the process of moving on from aspects of life you just do not need anymore! She has such belief in you. She loves you dearly and always will.

Prayer for healing

Right now, Our Lady With the Moon at Her Feet is here with you. Even in the most trying of circumstances, she is there to wrap her arms around you and comfort you with her love. She has never left your side, bringing you joy along with the bravery and concentration that have made it possible for you to move on from situations that are not beneficial to your health. She extends to you an invitation to say the prayer that is listed below whenever you feel moved to do so:

 

“Our Lady With the Moon at Her Feet, my Holy Mother, your divine grace guards and watches over me at all times. When I’m feeling down, your love helps me get back up again. You offer assistance and direction to me whenever I am unable to identify a way out of a problem. Your profound love allows me to see with new clarity because it opens the eye of my soul. You assure me that I will always be successful. I resign my will and my life to your gracious mercy today and every day so that I may fulfil my greater destiny.”

Mother Mary’s message for you

My child, you have been hoping for big changes – or even little ones – to occur in your life. I say to you today that your prayers have been heard. I am sending my angels to help you in every way they can. We are a heavenly team with huge resources so we can assist you in countless ways.

My angels will help you to find your way even in the darkest of nights. So, relax in the knowledge that you are always taken care of, no matter what.

What you need to know

Even people who don’t believe in angels benefit from their energy, believe it or not! Having said that, praying certainly helps things along a good bit. You see, the Holy Mother has an incredible connection with the angelic realm – that’s why she is sometimes referred to as the Queen of the Angels. She was often helped and blessed by them throughout her life and she wants the same for you.

 

Mother Mary wishes you to trust in your inner voice right now because you are being angelically guided. Take the time to pray for their intervention, assistance and protection. Allow them to work on your behalf to heal certain situations as they help you to open new doors that will bring you happiness and stability. Have faith that the future is to be so much better than the past!

Prayer for healing

See yourself surrounded by pure, brilliant white light. Feel heavenly energy flowing through you as you connect with the angels. In your mind’s eye you may even see them surrounding you. Just relax as you let your visions unfold in front of you as you feel confident that everything is set to work out perfectly.

 

When you are ready, say the following prayer or one of your own, if you would prefer, “Our Lady and the angels, I humbly ask for your guidance, divine help and protection. (At this point you can ask for help with a specific situation if you would like to). Please assist me in every area of my world so that I may live a full, giving and selfless life in your name. Let this be so now and always.”

Divine Feminine | Messages from Mary – September 22, 2022

“Our Lady of Divine Direction”

Mother Mary’s message for you

My beloved child, I am guiding you now and into the future. You will never lose your direction for long because I am with you. I am holding you in my grace as I give you a gentle nudge to help you move forward. All I ask of you is that you trust in me. When you believe in me, you are also believing in yourself because we are both part of each other.

Recently, you either had or you are soon to have a last minute change in your direction in life which will come out of the blue. You may well be pretty surprised, in fact. My guidance for you is not to resist this. Allow yourself to be guided by my loving hand so you keep on moving towards your destination. Pray to me as you feel safe and secure in the knowledge that you are being divinely guided.

What you need to know

Often there are times when the fastest way to achieving what you want is to take an indirect route instead of focusing on the obvious one that’s right in front of you. What’s amazing about your current situation is that Mother Mary is watching over you, always ready to help you to change direction if and when you need to (often even before you know that you need to yourself!)

One huge way in which she will share her guidance with you is via your intuition, so always be prepared to listen to your inner voice. Your gut feelings are usually spot on. In fact, how many times have you had a strong feeling about something that turned out to be right? With this in mind, be very aware that divine direction is at play in your life at present!

Prayer for healing

In your mind’s eye, see yourself at a crossroads. Although there are no street signs or people to ask, you need to make a decision. Thankfully though, you find that you can do so with ease because you know inherently that all you need to do is to call on Mother Mary for her help.

Say this prayer out loud when you are ready, “Our Lady of Divine Direction, guide me so that I can gratefully accept all directional changes as I fulfil my life path. Be with me, my Mother Mary as I take steps towards realising my destiny. I ask that you bless me with courage and trust and protect me with your loving grace!

“To live is to burn, to grow and to ignite the heart and soul with passionate devotion to higher purpose. I ask you to honour me, even when it seems like what you love is burning away, or what you have believed in is failing you. I ask you to remain open to me, even if you are in shock, denial, or feeling betrayed or broken. To live with an open heart is for the brave souls that love me, and are capable of loving the world. I bring you Holy Fire. It burns through me as spiritual passion and ignites now in you also, my child. You are to receive this fire now and se the heart of the world aflame.”

Today’s Oracle | August 6, 2021

I know how hard you have been trying, how much work and effort you have been summoning.  Even if you judge yourself for not hving done enough, I see how much struggle you have been enduring, how much you have been trying to overcome. You will succeed. You are capable. But, even the earth requires retreat and rest in order to replenish and continue in time. For now, Beloved, it is rest time. Be with me. Suspend your activity and your judgment, and let it go. Solutions may come to you, too, in this time. But, it is time to simply be with me. Come, let us rest together in the sweetness of divine love.

~ Alana Fairchild, Mother Mary Oracle

Today’s Oracle | August 2, 2021

I provide life without limit. You have no need to fear loss or lack. For every thing that dies, new life is created to supplant it. For every need that you have, there are ample channels though which that need can be fulfilled. I can provide all, with wisdom, grace and even joyful humour. You can find a way to delight in life and enjoy all the riches that are available to you, if only you open your heart and release your fear. It is habit, not reality, which keeps you uncertain. Trust in me, and be nourished in my living garden of love.

~ Alana Fairchild, Mother Mary Oracle

Cartomancy | Surrealist Tarot Deck

Tara Greene,Tarot,Astrology,Psychic

Surrealist Tarot deck of Leonora Carrington has gorgeous imagery based on her paintings. I need this deck. I’ve always loved surrealismand have been a strong proponent of women artists.

I wanted to be an artist since I was 9 years old. I told my mother that it was what I was going to be when I grew up. There was only Georgia O’Keefe that I knew of as a child who was a famous living woman artist and I loved her paintings. I went to Art College and specialized in Experimental Arts. I got involved in Feminist Art and found out there were many women artists since the Renaissance who have been suppressed and ignored.

Magic & Tarot | Knowledge and understanding of your own wisdom

TAROFLEXIONS

Information? There’s that. Understanding? Not so much. Information is fast. Understanding takes time.

This January, being a month of clearings on all fronts, I’ve had the opportunity to check with my understanding of what I’m doing. If I spotted the slightest confusion about it, or downright misunderstanding, I took the bull by its horns and remedied what there was to remedy. You can’t make clear what you don’t understand. You can’t clear out confusion, when you lack basic knowledge. I divined with the cards too. I do this to clear my own blind spots, not only those of others.

First I ask the cards about how I understand exactly my position vis-à-vis what I want to achieve. I often think I have enough information about my ways of doing things, but do I also understand why I’m doing things? For what purpose? It’s not a given that knowing yourself equals…

Cartomancy | Daily Draw – 10/18/2020

Excerpted from Grace Duong’s “Mystic Tarot”

No, you are not going to die — that’s just a common misconception of the Death card.  Death indicates an end of an aspect of your life, which can range from a job to a relationship.  Death must occur in order for you to have a new beginning, shifting you forward into a transition period of rebirth and renewal.  The cycle off death is quite natural, and can be seen in nature transforming throughout the different seasons.  Like nature, you are also going through a transformation that will be of great significance,  Change is coming, sweeping the past to the side so that you can embrace the opportunities of the future.  Clear the clutter and let go of what is not serving you in order to make room for new life.  When one door closes, another one opens.  There is no life without death.

△ Destruction, Abrupt Change, Lightning

Flash! Fast as a bolt of lightning, your world has instantaneously shifted before your eyes. The Tower is a card of sudden change—one that shakes the foundations of what you have built. It can be subconscious, like beliefs that have been established by your parents, or it can be literal, like a fire that has burned down the house. Regardless, the turn of events has split you wide open, cutting to the core of your being. This card is a rude awakening for you to transform your attitudes about previous beliefs. Salvage what you can from the wreckage and make a game plan to move forward. This is also a card of rebuilding after loss. Build your- self from the ground up. How will you handle this chaotic time? With grace and ease, or raw emotion? The choice is yours. With destruction comes creation, so all is not lost.

Building a new skill or breadth of work is time consuming, however, you know that it will be worth it in the end. Keep on chugging! Your patience, commitment focus and dedication are put to the test, but you are surely up for the challenge. Day by day you get better and better, knowing that your skills will build over time. The more you apply yourselves, the more rewarding it feels seeing where you started and how far you’ve come!

Astrology | 2020 Pisces New Moon in Monkey Month

Susan Levitt

September 1st at 10:22 pm PDT is a full Moon in Pisces. Water sign Pisces rules the twelfth house of intuition, emotions, mysticism, dreams, and endings. People can become very emotional during the evening of and the days surrounding this full Moon. Deep-rooted feelings and fears can come to surface about personal matters, and larger issues of Covid trauma, social injustice, and the ending of life cycles. 

This full Moon conjuncts Neptune in Pisces that increases sensitivity and empathy. People are more aware of their surroundings, so take time to beautify and focus on feng shui of your home and workplace, especially if your home is now also your workplace. If feeling very sensitive, like a psychic sponge, this full Moon is time to gently nurture and take care of yourself.  

The Sun in Earth sign Virgo trines Jupiter in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus bringing a more optimistic viewpoint and…

Astrology | One Hundred Million times Lucky Solar eclipse

Tara Greene,Tarot,Astrology,Psychic

According to Tibetan Buddhists, you can get ONE HUNDRED MILLION TIMES the Good Karma during solar eclipses from saying specific mantras and following certain precepts. Seven million times good karma on a lunar eclipse.  

You don’t have to be a strict Tibetan Buddhist to get 100 million times the benefits on this auspicious day.

SOLAR ECLIPSES are NOT Times to do MAGIC especially Black Magix hexes or CURSES as they will come back at you 100,000,000 times. 

The actual partial solar eclipse is June 20 @ 11:41 pm PDT/ June 21 @ 2:41 am EDT/ 6:41 am GMT

check the eclipse calculator in your location 

I believe that you can still get great luck if your intent is pure and prayers are offered with a sincere heart. Repeat the main mantra and meditate for as long as you can. Every hour adds up.
