Tarot Contemplation – Seven of Wands

Be prepared to take a stand for what you believe in today.  Someone or something may challenge what you believe in.  Stand up for yourself.  There’s a good reason you feel so strongly about this issue.  You’re unwavering integrity and strength will serve you well.  There are big forces at work against you, for example, societal expectations, stiff competition, perhaps your own lack of faith in yourself.  By facing up to this challenge, you will refine your principles, gain courage, develop your character, and be ready to achieve mastery.  Ask yourself what you truly believe.  If you are confident in your perspective, then don’t back down!  You may even be required to be aggressive or defiant.

Tarot Contemplation – Wheel of Fortune (reversed)

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

You may feel a nudge to do something different today.  Follow that feeling.  By expanding your world in new ways, you allow the universe to bestow new blessings upon you.  With the Wheel of Fortune reversed, it is likely that forward movement is halted.  It could be that plans to travel or proceed with a project are delayed.  You may feel like the same thoughts are spinning endlessly in your mid.  You are not making progress, and may even be moving backwards.  Alternatively, this card may be indicating that you are moving too fast.  Slow down and take the time to consider your next move carefully.  If you are considering an investment right now, this card indicates that you ought to reconsider.  No gambling at this time.

It may surprise you to discover that many Christian traditions were originally (and still are) pagan traditions. When I first started my path, I was amazed at all of the holidays, traditions, and customs that have roots in pagan history. In fact, everything from holidays like Christmas and Easter to the Devil can, technically, be related back to pagan myths, traditions, archetypes, and rituals, but I digress. Instead of overwhelming you with too much history, I thought I would share just a few.

Christian Traditions that Have Pagan Roots

The Christmas Tree

In pagan tradition, namely the Germanic paths which celebrate Jul or Jol (pronounced like Yule or Yole), trees were seen as being inhabited by the gods. Because of this, they often brought a tree into their home during the winter season to keep their god(s) warm and protected. This tradition spread with immigration throughout time. It actually wasn’t until…

Tarot Contemplation – Three of Swords

Something in your life is harmful and you know it.  Today it is time to let it go.  It’s going to hurt, but this release is also going to create beautiful space for something better.  The sooner you can let go, the sooner you’ll be able to heal.  This is a difficult loss.  Whether it is an end to a relationship, the loss of trust due to betrayal, rejection, losing your job, the end of some sort of ailment through surgery, or letting go of some sort of way of thinking that has ceased to be useful, the loss will not be easy.  However, this release will make room for further growth and maturity.  It is difficult to be optimistic when we are in pain, but pain is a strong motivator to change.  When you feel pain and do something to fix it, you grow.
