Tending My Fire

I have been meditating on the theme for this Round Robin Blog post all day. Here is what I have in my notes:

“Beltane Round Robin them is Fire Tends to all.  The one who watches the fire for others.  Those who keep sacred space sacred.  People who focus on their work and do not look for attention nor do they deny the value of their work.”

More and more I find myself realizing how very much I admire this quality and also how I need to embody it more.  Often I work for the sake of the recognition and for monetary rewards, especially in my day job but also in my Tarot and Reiki work.  I did the following reading to help bring me back to what’s important. This is relevant for all I do. I want to be focused on what I am giving and spreading and not so much on making money or getting recognition. If what I do has helped improve someone’s life, day or even just their afternoon, then that is my fulfillment. The recognition is nice and indeed welcome and I acknowledge the payment for services is necessary, but it should not be what drives me.

Here is the spread and reading using my brand new Angel Tarot Cards by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine’s.

What is my role (Tarot)?

I pulled the Knight of Air for this question. The tireless crusader who fights for what he believes. He stands for his truth and does not get sidetracked. Stick to one thing. Don’t try to fit into any Niche where I don’t feel inspired or believe. I don’t have to know everything but what I claim to know I must know well. Remain trustworthy. My clients will look to me for my honesty and readings that have integrity and truth to them.

How can I best serve others in this role?

The Moon – This confirms what I have been drawn to lately and that is developing my psychic skills. One way I have done that is to become more active and to spend more time with nature which is depicted in this card. I can also help others by removing any fears my clients may have for Tarot and psychic readings. Be real. Be myself.

What drives me?

Six of Fire – Are the cards mocking me???? The phrase on this card reads, “Victory! Good news is on it’s way. Public recognition or awards.” Isn’t this what I am trying to get away from. Or maybe this is reinforcing what I knew the problem is? It feels good when clients gush about what a great reading I give or how great my blog posts are. Would I still ride so tall and proud if I didn’t get the praise? that is what I need to make sure I do. I am victorious with or without the recognition as long as I help others.

How do I come back to keeping the sacred space sacred?

Two of Air – This card is telling me to make my decision and act. I cannot move forward if I am always second guessing what others are looking for in me. I must forget that and be my authentic self. Let my colors show and be my own unique self. Decide which direction I want to take things and do it.

I’ll be using this new deck for a while to get a feel for it. My initial impressions are good despite the rather pretentious claims made about the deck being the only ‘trustworthy’ one out there. I am putting that aside to give an unbiased opinion on the Tarot deck itself.

Story From a Reiki Class

Welcome to the Tarot Blog Hop from Marcia McCord’s Blog! If you are following the blogs you most likely came from

The theme of this Hop is , “Ostara: Paint a journey with new life!”.

My blog post is a story of sorts. Perhaps a testimony. What is special is that you are witness to it and are invited to partake in it as well. You see, this is the beginning of my new Journey.

The past month has been stressful for me and very sad due to the tragic death of an old boyfriend (he is mentioned in my prior post). So what should be a wonderfuly fulfilling and spiritual weekend for me, has started out unsettling and difficult. Even today as my husband and I flew to Michigan to take a Reiki course with WIlliam Rand, numerous things went wrong, testing me and my ability to be in the now and let go of negative feelings and thoughts. I was even tempted to drop out of this blog hop feeling it was just one more thing I had to get done. Twice before leaving for the airport I sat at my computer ready to send a message to the Tarot Blog group saying I could not participate, but something told me not to so I listened.

Now, after this very long and stressful day I am settled in my hotel room, my husband napping in the bed and I decide to give it a go. I open up my iPad and go to the Facebook group to review the theme again before writing my blog post. What I get is the answer to my challenges. The theme for this Tarot Blog Hop was exactly the message I needed to hear. I needed to paint my journey with new life! Starting now!! You see my friends, it doesn’t take much to get a profound message from the Tarot.

Next I pulled my deck and rather then pulling cards at random I deliberately pulled the Fool card and pondered on the image. Picturing myself as the young fearless child beginning her adventure surrounded by her loving Guides. I entered the card in my meditation asking the Guides for their message for me and pulled cards afterwards for even more depth.

So here is what I invite you to do. Please meditate on this image of The Fool card from the Full Moon Dreams Tarot by Lunea Witherspoon.

Please drink in the image. Let it fill your mind… Once the picture is full in your imagination, close your eyes and enter into the card. Ask each of the guides what message they have for you and how you can paint new life into your journey. When you are done, write it in your journal and if you like draw cards to get more from each message from your guides.

It is Friday March 16 as I type this and I have a wonderful weekend ahead of me to study with a greatly admired and respected teach and I choose for it to be joyful. I won’t be posting this until Monday with my fellow Tarot peers and I will post again on how the weekend went. Until then, Joy to you all! May each day in your life be a journey in itself!
