Reading for week 14, 5th to 11th of april 2021.

Today it was typical april weather with snow, hail and later quite sunny but windy. Still I feel spring is strongly on the way or under foot perhaps. I also have the feeling that the Goddesses have something to say for this week. Here are their advice!

Cards for week 14
Cards for week 14

Monday to wednesday.

The first card for this week is “Hestia / Home” and it says “Being at home in your own skin is what the Greek goddess of the hearth, Hestia, offers you today. When you are in alignment with your truest self, it’s like everything you do suddenly fits and feels right. Now is the time to also look into your domestic environment, making sure you are surrounded by beautiful things that have a special positive meaning for you.
Cleaning, tending house, and taking care of simple things are what is called for now. (“Chop wood and carry water, ” as the Zen koan puts it.) The answers to the big questions come of their own accord when you’re focused on the small tasks. The goddess Hestia reminds you that when you are at home in yourself, you are at home in the world.

Thursday and friday.

The card for the middle of the week is “Artemis / Focus” and it says “In order to fully embrace the intentions you have set in motion and your current conditions, it’s important to sieze the moment. Now is the time you can truly make your mark, as the Greek goddess of the hunt, Artemis, will help guide your arrow!
Surrender yourself to the process of whatever is calling for your attention. Immerse yourself fully in whatever needs your focus, and alow yourself the experience of deep abiding trust. If you aim true and your heart is open and pure, grateful for all the bounty that surrounds you, your deepest desires will manifest before you like magic.

The weekend.

The last card for this week is “Lilith / Independence” and it says “The Jewish goddess Lilith refused to be dominated by the first man, and as a result was called a demon in the stories about her that followed. These inaccurate and danaging stories as so old and repeated so often that no one recognizes how pervasive their implications are.
From another perspective, Lilith offers this lesson: No one can prevent you from fully blooming, from learning all you can, from evolving and choosing freedom. Only your conditioned thinking can do that. Be proud, be accountable, claim your power and hold it wisely,
Right now, you are in an excellent position to attract healthy, independent, collaborative relationships that truly serve the highest good. Friendships flourish with mutual respect and support. Love relationships bloom with ample space for both parties to grow. Business ventures thrive in service to the greater good.
The goddess Lilith wants to show you the way to claim a healthy self-worth and self-respect, by refusing to let your old stories keep you down. You will be amazed at how deep, meaningful, and respectful your experience becomes in all areas of your life when you make choices from a place of empowered independence.

Summary:

Being at home in your own skin might be something that we need practice in doing. It’s a bit like cleaning your house, it looks and feels better the more often you do it. Not saying you should overdo it. As the card says, doing simple things, allows for the answers to come to you. Once we have the answers we need and are at home with ourselves, we can focus on the goals and tasks ahead, with guidance from Artemis we can hit our goals! Not letting old stories drag us down and be independent in our decisions is the advice from Lilith at the end of the week!

What small tasks can you do to get the answers to your questions?
What are you aiming for?

Reading for week 8, 22d to 28th of february 2021.

This reading ends the month of february, and already two months have passed this new year. I feel more than ever, that trusting your intuition is important in this times, and what could be better than a little female energy to support that. So this time I’ve asked the goddesses for advice for this week, and here are the cards I drawn.

Cards for week 8
Cards for week 8

Monday to wednesday.

The first card for this week is “Yuki-Onna, Stillness” in alignment position. Some days you wake up frozen, stuck, and unable to move due to the effects of emotional denial and resistance to what is in front of you. Or maybe exhausted, spent from the emotional burden of your current situation. The winter goddess Yuki-Onna has come to help you move out of and past this experience into a healthier state of stillness.
When you are frozen, it’s the ego that is refusing to accept life on life’s terms, potentially causing you fear and depression. A particular situation or person may be causing you to see yourself as a victim. The godddess Yuki-Onna reminds you that this is but a temporary moment in the millions of moments of your life. The task she has for you is to answer one question: will you trust the Great Goddess in the universe to be your active partner in co-creating? If so, slow down and let all your troubles go, and you will see the miracles life has to offer you.

Thursday and friday.

The second card is “Hestia, Home” in alignment position. Are you surrounded by clutter in your home or work? Do you have objects or clothes that have negative stories attached to them? Every object hold energy and tells a specific story. The pants that don’t fit shame you; the gift from an ex-partner taunts you with disappointment or resentment; the books you will never read shout at you. Who needs this cacophony?
The goddess Hestia, who rules the hearth, offers you this alignment task: do a thorough house cleaning. Declutter and make space in your environment. Do the same for your mind too. Your mind mitght be cluttered with old stories that have no value for you now.
Walk away from situations you know you don’t belong in. Get rid of all of it. When you remove the superfluous distractions, it’s amazing how your intentions come together like magic. Make space for the miracles the godddess Hestia has in store for you. Yes, it takes work, but it’s worth it!

The weekend.

The last card for this week is “Danu, Assurance” The apperance of the Celtic goddess Danu, who gave birth to magic, portends the fulfillment of your desires and the fruition of your dreams. Whatever it is that you’re inquiring about, Danu gives her assurance that you’re in the process of becoming! Now is the time to trust whatever you have planted, planned, and worked toward is being lovingly birthed; all you need to do is stay with the flow of events and be ready for your next opportunity.
Everything has its perfect seasaon. Just as fallow ground carries the promise of new life that appears again in the spring, as if magically bidden from the invisible to the visible, Danu offers her promise of grounded assurance.

Summary:

Time to slow down a bit, and let all troubles go, in the beginning of this week. Then it’s time to declutter your house, workplace or mind, or perhaps all of them. Even if we have our house in order it’s easy to collect thoughts that we perhaps shouldn’t be carrying around. Perhaps things that happened in the past that no longer serves you. And at the end of the week you just have to trust what you have already planned, will grow into fruition if you just give it time.

What can you do to declutter your house, workplace or mind?

Reading for the New Year week, 28th to 3d of januari 2021.

This week I’m letting the Goddesses tell what the end of this year and the start of the next will bring.

The cards for new years week.

Monday to wednesday.

The first card for this week is Gaia, mother Earth and it says “Being grounded, slowing down, and remaining present in your body is the message that the Greek goddess Gaia haas for you right now. Perhaps you’ve spent too much time in your head lately and have taken as good care of yourself as you would have liked. Get into a rhythm, make sure you get enough sleep, commit to spending more time in nature, and eat sustainably with conscious awareness. Gaia, the earth, mother of all life, invites you to pay attention to your body for you are a creature of the earth as well as spirit.
You are part of this living earth, which is the foundation for all of life that has physical form. What form does your life take? This is the perfect time to take a closer look to ensure you’re happy with it. You’re also asked to examine the foundation of what you are building now. Does it feel solid and stable? Now is the perfect time to focus on stability and security, ensuring you move forward in a grounded way.
The goddes Gaia reminds you that the earth is the playground for conscious manifestation, so be respectful of this truth.

New years eve and new years day.

The second card is the Goddess Kali, Liberation, reversed and it says “When resentment and anger fester below the surface, the unprossed emotions simmer until they boil over. It’s eay to project anger, envy, and ancient inherited rage on others we percieve as the source of or discontent. When something triggers these emotions, we can project onto strangers as well as the people closest to us. Nobody wins when such pain is unleashed in the world.
Take heart, for you are not alone. Know that rage and fury must have a place to be expressed, and you can use this energy to make something extraordinary and find a new way. The fierce liberation goddess Kali offers her daggers to help you cut the ties to stories you tell about your past once you have expressed and processed them. No matter what your conditions, your alignment task is to find a way to channel this rage, this anger, these feelings into creativity. Make something of it, of yourself, so you don’t create destruction just because you can.
Be willing to be teachable even if it feels uncomfortable. When you know more, you can do better. Be willing to take full accountability for the energy you bring to the world. Kali knows the fierce dark love she brings you will not always be comfortable, anad the process of transformation requires rigorous self-honesty. You have what it takes; now make something meaningful and be someone you’re proud of.

The weekend.

The last card for this new years week is Mnemosyne, the Past, reversed and it says “Our stories can hold us hostage to a past that no longer serves us. The goddess of memories, Mnemosyne, reminds you that running away from painful memories and pretending that wrongs haven’t been commited does nothing to help you truly find meaning and purpose. Your alignment task is to stop and take inventory of the past and the stories that keep you tied to it and defined by it. She calls you to be rigorously honest about the areas in your life where you have been wounded as well as where you may have wounded others. Dig deep to uncover your unconscious biases and triggers. Know that it may be a messy experience as you surrender to the truth that you can’t control the outcome or other people’s reactions when you are ready to make real shifts.
The world is changing, and to be part of its glorious unfolding you are being invited to do this deep work. Miracles are waiting for you once you seet yourself free and allow your memories of the past to lead you to the truth. Transformation comes with a price. Leaving some of your old self behind isn’t easy, but is necessary to become the one you have been waiting for. You will rise up from this mess, and only beauty and strength will remain.

Summary:

Interesting cards for the end of this year and the beginning of the next! Gaia reminds us to slow down as we so long wanted this year to be over. If we don’t slow down we will continue with the same speed into the next year. We might not want that! We also need to take care of our selves. Good health is a good basis to resist most diseases.
In the middle of the week, which is when the shift from this year to the so longed after next year, we are told to channel our anger into something good, instead of just letting it out.
And later in the week we’re reminded to let go of the stories that no longer serves us! What a good beginning of a new year were we anew. The world is indeed changing, and we have the opportunity to make it a good one!

Are there things you can do to improve your health and fitness?
What can you do to transform your anger into something good?
What stories are you holding on to?

With this reading I’m wishing you all a Happy New Year! 🙂

Weekly reading for week 50 7th to 13th of december.

This week I choose to work with the Goddess Power oracle deck, or perhaps it choose me.
I also just interviewed the deck and it gave me some both interesting and beautiful answers. They use to talk about female intution, and yes intuition is a female energy, not saying a guy can’t connect to his feminine side and his intuition. I’m trying to do that daily as it helps me and guides and others. Here’s the advice from the Goddesses this week.

Cards for week 50
Card for week 50

Monday to wednesday.

The first card is “Leizi – Revelation” and it says “There are moments when synchronicity brings all the elements together for a flash of insight to rise up in you in a glorious epiphany. Whatever was not clear becomes crystalline in an instant. It’s as if you are able to simultaneously percieve every facet in a diamond. You know without a doubt that you’re on the right track as deep understanding sinks into your very soul. In this moment change and transformation takes place, and a transcendent moment is offered to you as an extraordinary gift.
Now is one of those time. The Chinese goddess Leizi, mother of lightning, brings revelations into your life with a flash. She gifts you this as a result of all the hard work you have put into dismantling your old self and making space for who you want to become. This is a very auspicious time”.

Thursday and friday.

The second card is “Mama Qocha – Water” and it says “The world we inhabit began from the oceanic waters of life and the waters that surrounded us in the womb – both of which are the domain of the Incan goddess Mama Qucha. We are most attuned to the qualities of water as the elelment of water symbolically represents our emotions. Our emotions move us to make and percieve the world as we know it.
The beauty in this truth is found by observing water in all her properties and forms. Water is fluid and passes through cracks and flaws in hte ground without stress, moving around obstacles and patiently wearing away the most jagged rocks until they are smooth and gleaming. Water ebbs and flows, comes and goes in a powerful rhythmic motion as the seas and oceans reveal their promise of release and return. Water rises up from the ground and seeds the clouds, and then rains upon the earth to ensure growth and sustain life. Water turns to hard ice and blankets the world in a protective shell, even of soft snow, allowing the dormancy of life to herald a time of dreaming. Then the ice melts and the cycles begin again.
The answer to your question lies in determining what form of water reveals the conditions of your life and recognizing the next evolution of your life’s potential. If you’re in an ebb, you can expect a flow; if things are temporarily frozen, soon they will melt. If it seems that your world is too wet and temporary shelter is needed, you can expect new tgrowth and sunny days again. Mama Qocha reminds you that the waters of your life are perfect as they are now and just as perfect the way they will evolve. Unlimited potentioal is revealed when this goddess comes to visit”.

The weekend.

The last card is “Yuki Onna – Stillness” reversed or in this case it’s called alignment message, and it says “Some days you wake up frozen, stuck and unable to move due the effects of emotional denial and resistance to what is in front of you. Or maybe you are exhausted, spent from the emotional burden of your current situation. The winter goddess Yuki-Onna has come to help you move out of and past this experience into a healthier state of stillness.
When you are frozen, it’s the ego that is refusing to accept life on life’s terms, potentioally causing you fear and depression. A particular situation pr person may be causing you to see yourself as a victim. The goddess Yuki-Onna reminds you that this is but a temporary moment in the millions of moments of your life. The task she has for you is to answer one question: will you trust the Great Goddess in the universe to be your active partner in co-creating? If so, slow down and let all your troubles go, and you will see the miracles life has to offer you”.

Summary:

I think this week is a good week to get both new ideas and then reflect on them to be able to transform. For that to happen we need to be in stillness and allow the goddesses and the univers to help us. Kinda fitting winter theme with this reading. Unfreezing might take some time, but will happen eventually. Thinking a little about Elsa in Frozen, who eventually learns how to control her powers.

What form of water are you now and which do you need to become?
Can you be in stillness to figure out what you need to do to “unfreeze” and move forward?
