Good afternoon everyone.

I hope you've all had a lovely easter. Sorry I haven't really been around of late, just had so much going on, and then I had a break away after the weekend.
All I can say is what strange weather at the moment ;-) It's difficult to know what to wear, let alone getting the kids dressed ;-)
I'm just looking out at the sky now, and it's about to pour down :-( We took the kids out to an indoor play area yesterday and they had lots of fun, even made some new friends..... After all the fun of the school and everyone saying they didn't make friends easily.....

So, anyway, I've bought some things to start my own drawings for my cards, got some photo's ready to use to help draw and I even started working on my own deck this weekend. I've got 2 decks in planning, so here's hoping it works out.... ;-) Just trying to get prices now for printing them up, thinking about self publishing.

Anyway, that's enough of me going on.... Here's the Fortune card and Transparent Tarot for today.

So, the Shield is here. Whilst you hold the shield, your adversaries can not penetrate your defences. a thick skin keeps you safe from harm. Till trust is gained, your emotions are hidden.

When we have someone to stand beside us or in front of us we feel strong. We learn to keep our emotions in check, but there are times when we wear our hearts on our sleeves.

It is good to be able to show that you are emotional at times. It has it's uses, but at times, you need to keep your emotions in check.

When you feel that you are being battered constantly by another persons emotions, imagine yourself holding a shield that forms a protective barrier all around you.

Our next cards are from the Transparent tarot.

We have the King of Pentacles, the King of Cups and Justice.

As we've seen in the past our King of Pentacles is all about connecting to the earth, he's well grounded with connections to nature and animals, loving to get about in the great outdoors.
Now, our King of Cups is an emotional guy, and this is also where the need for our shield steps in. He's moody, irritable and it's feeling like he's not a very nice person to know.

He likes to make it seem like he is the loving caring person, but in fact, he isn't. he's laughing behind your back, thinking you're going to let his thoughts, words and actions get to you, but in this instance you're not.
Our sword of justice is here, weighing up the balance between these 2 men. Which is better for you in any instance. Now if you look at the placing of the cards today you can see that justice overlaps our King of Pentacles and the King of cups is off to one side. Our pentacle king is far more balanced and relaxed in everything that he does, he is able to support as well as give good advise, should you choose to listen to what he has to say.

The King of Pentacles uses the sword to cut the ties that bind us to the King of Cups, and cut through the barriers of injustice that have been caused, or the injustice that we feel that has been caused by this man.

So don't forget, for a full list of all the readings available please visit my website Coyote's Realm

Take care today and enjoy what's left of the holidays ;-)

Good afternoon everyone....

Don't you just love the holidays? I've been having to help my son with his DS game.... such hard work ;-) and then I've had my daughter being a star trek impersonator..... A Klingon.... honestly couldn't do anything as she kept on strangling me..... Talk about cruelty to children, this is cruelty to mothers!!!
So anyway, I got my new deck in the post today. I've just got the Pathfinder Animal Totem cards. The artwork is beautiful and so many cards.....

Today, we've got the Empress, Knight of Wands and the King of Pentacles.

Our knight has the desire to travel.
Right at the last minute he will decide to take off somewhere. Spontaneous is the key word with this card today. He inspires others around him to do new things, it maybe a burst of new energy which helps them to get motivated.
We then look at the king, he's all about the connection to the earth, having worked hard for what he's got, he has a good connection with animals and plants, and these 2 guys go well together. With their hard work and dedication they help towards building a better future.

Ideally suited to working outside or with animals, helping to restore things, so that the earth can regrow what she has lost. These guys are in the ideal position with their roles in life to help heal the earth. One to nurture and grow things, and to encourage self sufficiency, and the other to encourage others to try new things.The knight looks to the king for help and guidance, and the king having been there and done that is in the right place to help at this time.These 2 tend to bounce idea's off each other, they compliment each other in many ways, the older male guiding the younger, helping to heal both themselves and the earth, and encourage others to continue their work.

Now, lets have the newbies out ;-)The card I've picked from the Pathfinders deck is the Wolverine/Badger.
The wolverine is known for its strength, ferocity and endurance. More importantly, it is intuitively aware of its own personal power, which enables it to make the most of its potential. Wolverine tells us to examine our lives and abandon the things that stand in the way of using our own personal power to reach our goals.We must learn when to use our strength, ferocity and determination in situations. We must be ready to endure difficult times and keep going no matter what. Our insight into situations will guide us through, but we must be willing to make the changes in order improve things.

The last card I've picked for today is from the Fortune cards. We have The Oracle.

The Oracle is the supreme keeper of knowledge. seek wisdom and guidance from elders. Consult books, teachers or knowledgeable authorities. The Oracle could also represent a sacrifice made in the quest for wisdom.

When we want to learn something and aren't sure where to go, it is always best to ask those who have the knowledge available. Sometimes though we have to find our own answers.

That's all for today, if you have any more questions, why not hop on over to the forum or to book a reading or tarot course, go to the website

I look forward to seeing you all, take care and have a lovely day today.

Wow, April already.... March flew by didn't it?

Sorry I've not been around for a few days, the kids finished on Friday and so we had end of term assembly...... Now we have 2 weeks off..... Not sure I'll manage to last lol ;-)

So what have you got planned for the coming weeks? If the weather lasts we'll be out and about, but failing that, the DS or Wii will come in handy....

I'm just hoping my kids easter eggs come in time.... It gets quite awkward as I have to get Dairy free things for them, so in the local shops they're not always in stock, so I have to go online for them, but at least it won't affect them like the normal dairy stuff does.
I'd rather healthy kids that don't suffer asthma and eczema through being given dairy products...

So anyway, here's our cards for today. We've got the Transparent Tarot and Animal Wise Tarot Today for a change.

Today, the 3 cards we're focusing on are the Page of Cups, 7 of Pentacles and the 2 of Pentacles.
So, I'm looking at this card as 3 individual souls today. Focusing first on the page, we have a young girl, she's emotional and very much, she wears her heart on her sleeve. She can be easily baited or annoyed which she tends to react to by exploding, or running away from things. She can take comments to heart and the things that affect her mostly are by a young boy, signified by the 7 of pentacles. He is always on the go, not wanting to sit still, he is the "fidget" of the family.

The difficulty is with these 2 children, one always wanting to do something and the other being the more emotional of the 2 it is often difficult to find the right balance for both their needs.
When the boy child feels light of heart and not angry, then the scales tip the girl the other way, she reacts sullenly and appears argumentative in order to gain the attention, but when the focus is not on the boy, he then plays the role of the argumentative child and the girl in this instance is the one who gets upset by his actions.
It's time to learn to balance our home life and work life equally, just as we balance our inner and outer child.
We can't have sun without the night, just as we can't have dark without light, so we have to learn to nurture not only ourselves but also the others in our care and find out the needs and wants of all involved and not take things for granted.

The next card is from the Animal Wise tarot, and we have the Hanged Man.

The animal on this card is the Bat, and his message is that of New Truths and Perceptions. To see things clearly, there maybe need to hang around in different places or even hang upside down for a while to view things differently. Think of an illusion, it doesn't always appear the same to another person, it can affect them differently.
This is the time to think and look at things maybe from a child's point of view or even from another adults. Place yourself in their shoes. If the shoe was on the other foot, what would you feel, or what would you think?
At the moment, it feels like we are being held back for some reason. the truth will soon become clearer, but only when you are ready to open your eyes properly and see things for what they really are.
Learn to observe things but remain unseen as you do so.

So, that's all for today, but if you feel you would like a reading with any of the cards that are available, feel free to head on over to the website for more information. There's different readings available as well as prices to suit all pockets.And if you book a reading, there will be a little surprise when you receive it in your in box.
So why not call today.

Take care, big hugs and positive thoughts going out top you all.

Good Morning....
Well another beautiful day here, yet again.... better make the most of it really seeing as it might not last, you know what the weather is like ;-)

So for today, we have the Transparent Tarot and the Llewellyn Tarot.

Today, we have the High Priestess, the Knight of Pentacles and the 2 of swords.

So today, staring with the Knight, it's looking like he's on a journey. As we take a look at him, we see that he's down to earth, trust worthy and steady. He's not one of these people who is the centre of attention, he tends not too stand out. he is more likely to work behind the scenes rather than be in the spotlight. A hard worker, he likes to succeed in the things he does, and prefers quality over quantity.

This journey that he's on, is again about finding the spiritual knowledge that is inside himself, but that he also has started to gain access to. He's starting to move forward on his journey, if he hasn't already realised it. It's time to meditate and focus on the job in hand.

The 2 of swords, is sitting and patiently working through the book or the knowledge he has been given.
Now, at this moment in time, there maybe a conflict going on with this Knight, a conflict of interests perhaps, or needing to find the right balance before undertaking anything else. There are 2 pathways, and which one is chosen is up to the knight. Nobody else can choose his pathway for him, only he can do it.

How many people around you do you know that keep the peace but at their own expense? It is difficult to walk both pathways at the same time, and give both the full attention they deserve. In order to progress, you have to choose just one path.
Also think about the environmental impact on the world and try to live a more sustainable lifestyle. Again, like the rest of the cards today, it's time to be wise with money, listen to financial advice when it is given to you.

This is the Hanged Man from the Llewellyn deck. Now most Hanged Man cards picture the man upside down, however this deck doesn't. The man is hanged on by his hands, and one foot tied behind the other whilst the other remains on the floor. He's tether to the spot for the present moment, not being able to move.

We look at him through the doorway, but it feels like he is moving away from me, but as I look closely, I feel myself moving away from him rather than him away from me.

Patience is a key word with this card, but the more I look today, the more I see that I am starting to move forward again with the journey, we are no longer still.

It has felt like the door has been closed to us for a long time, and now it is open we can start to move on because the timing is right, everything that needed working on has been worked on and so now we can move on, and carry on this journey, but it may well mean we leave others behind because they are not ready.

You can't hold yourself back when it is time to move forward in anything you do. You are not alone on this journey and you know that.

For a reading with these cards, or any others I use for that matter, please head on over to Coyote's Realm

Right, take care everyone and I'll see you all tomorrow.

Lots of love and hugs

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you've all had a lovely weekend, and enjoyed the fabulous weather here in the UK. I went walking in the Peak district on Saturday. Got some lovely pictures, so once I've got this blog done, I'll put up another post with some of the pictures for you all.

Today, I thought we'd have the Enchanted Oracle and the Transparent Tarot.

Well, for our Transparent Cards today, we have the Star, the High Priestess and the 8 of Wands...
Firstly when I pulled these cards out, and focused on them I heard the Queen song.... Don't Stop Me Now ~ Queen....

So anyway......
Starting with the 8 of wands, firstly, I want to say onwards and upwards, hold on tight, because we're starting to get going, we're going on a ride, a journey of sorts, spiritual or work related, but things are now starting to move forward. It's been a feeling of the fog is slowly lifting and leaving the path clear for you to see.
Now, the thing is with the these cards is that as I look at them, they're all about development and developing spiritually. Things have blocked us, or we haven't been ready to move on, but now, we've cleared those hurdles and we're ready to get going again. That door that was locked has now been opened again, yet again, it is a time of transformation.

The High Priestess often shows up when knowledge has been held secret from us. It is veiled so it can't be seen until we are ready for it. Where as with our 8, the energy is quite bouncy and light, the Priestess is more of a calming influence over us. Maybe some meditation to help calm your mind and help access your own inner power and knowledge.

The star shines down on the other cards. Even when things seem dark, there is always light, there is always hope. Whatever you're creating, it will work, have faith. Learn to have love for yourself as well as others, for the things that surround you everyday. Remember, you are the star of your own life, nobody else, don't let them take your lime light, keep that for yourself. Showcase you for the beautiful soul that you are. Don't be afraid to show your uniqueness, it is what makes you .... You!
Let yourself be inspired today, and carry that inspiration through into reality.
Remember, let your inner light shine out.... You are the Star of your life, be proud of that and stand tall.
Things are moving forward, get ready to keep up!! ;-)

We have the Gypsy Rose from the Enchanted Oracle.

Now this card often appears when you've been working too hard or worrying too much. Now it's time to stop and take a break.

Do something that makes your heart leap with excitement, it doesn't have to be a big leap, it can be about rediscovering something, a lost pleasure, a favourite place or even just making plans with a friend.
Put away your troubles for a little while and enjoy yourself, have some fun for a change.
When your outlook changes, you may find things aren't as bleak or as difficult as you first thought.

The major part though of this card.... Enjoy and have fun.

Rose tinted glasses aren't meant to change the way the world looks, but they are there to enhance the things we do see and shade out the cares and worries for the present moment.
It's only a day, so relax and enjoy, get back to work properly tomorrow. ;-)

So the advice today is be ready for the ride, and also to take a break..... All in favour.... type aye!!!

Lets enjoy this weather, and go for it, we are ourselves.
Your word for today is ........ UNIQUE...

Now if you like these cards or any of the others you see on this blog, you can have a reading with them, at Coyote's Realm Readings

That's all for now, so I'll see you all tomorrow,

Bye for now

Good morning Everyone,
How's your day been so far? It started off dull here, but it's getting brighter now :)
What a busy morning for me already, have hoovered, moped the floor, tidied the kitchen and done a bit of DIY already.... plus the cards.... Not sure that I've actually stopped ;-)

Anyway, Here's your cards today we're having the Gothic Tarot, transparent Tarot and also the Enchanted Oracle today.

We start Friday off with the Queen of Swords

I admire your honesty, but you are not telling you Queen everything, are you? How am I able to aid you if you hold things back from me?

How can others help us when we don't give them the full story? I feel like I'm drowning in sorrow today with this card, and I want to say about wearing your heart on your sleeve.

You need to start being more open with others, telling them the things that you hold close to your heart. Start to release the things held in your heart and you can start to heal.
It could manifest at any time, when it is least expected, but know that you are loved with passion, kindness and caring, and that you will not be turned away for saying what is troubling you, or what you feel.
This is when the healing truly starts.

Here's the Dark Queen from the Enchanted Oracle.

You know those answers and the understanding you've been seeking? There's good news and there's bad news.... ;-)

The good news is .... it can be found..... the bad news is, it maybe better to leave that stone unturned.... In a way, it's a bit like Atlantis ;-)
We know it was there, but should we really seek it out, for fear of what maybe or may not be found?

Consider for the moment about letting things drop, but know that if you persist, your prayers will be heard and you will get your answer. As is befitting a gift from the Dark Queen, it is like a double-edged sword : It will cut through your confusion, but at the same time it will hurt. The answer will be veiled and hidden away and you will have to look closely for it. Be aware of signs around you, seek answers deep within. It maybe you have to search the hidden corners of your mind.
The question is, do you really need to know the answer and risk hurting the ones you love?
Think carefully before you speak.
Ok, for our last deck, the Transparent Tarot, we 're looking the 4 and 7 of Pentacles and the Hanged One.

Our 4 of pentacles, well he's a bit of an old scrooge. he doesn't really want to part with his hard earned cash, and who can blame him, but the thing is, he's placing all of his ideals in one thing. There's the saying, don't put your eggs in one basket.... We need this guy to learn to share.... share his knowledge, his wisdom, and make him learn to share some of his cash around, and not be so materialistic. he needs to learn to be like our 7 of Pentacles.
Our 7 has learnt to juggle things around to make them work. Its taken time and patience though. he's learnt to share, and the things that he has paid into, are now starting to reward him, he has reaped what he has sown in life. this guy is ready to make that big step forward now, whether it's getting married or starting something new, he is ready to step into the big wide world.
This card ties in nicely with our Hanged one, because our hanged one is about time and patience, as is the 7. We can grow so much both in our selves and also spiritually when we take the time to sit and wait.
We do need sometimes to take a step back and view things from a different angle, but when we do, things will appear much clearer and brighter than before.
Our 4 wonders here as to how he can do that, but he needs to think clearly, not with just his head, but his heart as well, he needs to ground himself and move on, but he will get there in time.

So that's all for today, but as always if you would like a reading with any of these cards, or any of the others that I use, head on over to Coyote's Realm

Take care and have a beautiful day.

2012-03-21T05:01:00.000-07:00

Where has the sun gone? It's not here today.... never mind, could be worse I suppose... So, how are we all today? Are we doing anything interesting?
I'm not, once I've done the blog, I'm washing up, hoovering and getting fit.....
You know what though? I'm already tired with just thinking about it all. ;-)

Ok, so on with todays cards. If you do want a reading with any of the cards that appear on this blog, then please go to Coyote's Realm ~ Book a Reading
Lots of available options to suit every pocket. ;-)

Today, we've got 3 decks. The Dragonfae Oracle, Fortune card and the Transparent Tarot.

So, I'll start today with the Transparent Tarot. It's such an interesting deck to work with.
Anyway, we have the 2 of cups, the 3 of wands and the Hermit.

I actually want to start this with "Once upon a time". ;-)

In the far distance, there is a mountain. It stands tall above the villages below, and it's one that even though it's tall, and lonely and difficult, people are willing to give it a go. It makes us sit down and think about what it is we want to achieve out of life, is it that we want the recognition for what we're about to do, or is it that we can prove to ourselves we can do this.

We have the people below in the village, the 2 become 5 as a group of people band together happy in the knowledge that they can do this challenge.

I want to say that these people are standing in a circle, they're holding hands, bringing together their faith and certainty that they can overcome what has been thrown in their path way.

The 2 cups, gives them the knowledge that everything is happening for the right reasons, and the 3 wands, is the triad, they form the very foundations. Each of these 5 represents the points of the pentagram. Air, water, fire, earth and finally spirit. The light at the top of the mountain is where they will get to be. They are working together as a team, not as individuals.

Our next card is from the Dragonfae Oracle, and we have The Morrighan.

Whatever we are doing, we need to take action! You are at a critical point in your life right now, it's time for change. From the transformation you will become stronger and wiser, but you can't back down from this, you have to stand and face your fears.

Break free from the things which hold you back, jobs or relationships where you feel unappreciated. Learn to work with your fears and create the change yourself.

The last card for today is Love.

The golden heart is a symbol of true love and romance. it represents honesty, fidelity, rekindling of affections and a lasting union. You will attain your hearts desire.

Love always hits when we least expect it. When we sit down and realise that life is not over just because we're single again. We regret that we're on our own etc, but when we start to think about it in terms of "well ok I'm single and I'm going to enjoy it", that's when love comes waltzing round the corner.

It feels like today this is our fear. We have to face the fact that we are worthy of recieving love and affection, and that ok, some may consider themselves still married, but at the end of the day, there are things that we can not do alone, as I was so rightly reminded by a lovely lady in the last couple of days ;-)
Yes, it is scary, thinking about moving on and starting afresh, but you are supported, by friends, family and those in spirit.

For all you singletons out there, if you're on Facebook, then check out Dating Extreme . It was set up by a friend of mine, actually she's the one who reminded me about things ;-) and whilst you're at it, come and like my facebook pages for Reiki and Readings

So that's all for today, have a good one, and remember you are loved, you can change things and there is no 'I' in Team... You can do this....

Lots of Love to you all

Morning Everyone
Hope you had a lovely day yesterday, and that you have a lovely day today. I'm having one of those days today ;-) think I could do with going back to bed for a while, but I can't. Housework, my favourite job..... (Not) then again, a bit of tidying up and hoovering and I'll be done.

I've decided today to go with the Gothic Tarot and the Transparent Tarot.

It's Tuesday, and today the card is the Fool.

"To his newborn glance, a world of innocence and wonder awaits. Yet, shall it be that he will heed the dangers that await his all to innocent gaze."

This little guy is innocent right now, he knows no evil or hatred. He wonders what lies in store. He has to learn to watch out for the dangers that lie in wait, the temptations that surround him on this new journey.

There are times when we need to look at things through the eyes of our children. they can not say what they truly want, think or feel because they do not yet have the vocabulary to put their thoughts into words.

More often than not, they take out their actions on those closest to them, and it can make everyone feel like they have to walk on egg shells.
Today is about learning to look through the eyes of the child and see what they see, hear what they hear. If they see you showing hatred towards others, then they learn to do the same.

See today as a new start, one were you are ready to stand and fight for what is right, but with the beauty of innocence at your side, and with a fresh new set of eyes to see the things that have been missed before.

In our Transparent Tarot today, we have the Knave of Wands, the Ace of Pentacles and the 3 of Cups.

Looking at these cards today, I'm seeing a child, infact we have a young boy. He has fire in his heart, he has passion for the things he does, but as of yet he does not realise the things he says or the things he does can have an impact on others.
I would say this is an aries child, never sitting still always on the go. They haven't as yet found their place, their niche in life, and it is up to you to help them find it. A break away from things is needed to help them slow the mind down, and get routine back in place.
To feel safe and protected they need to know you are there for them, connected to the earth and helping them to ground themselves each day. When in nature, we help this child to connect, to heal themselves and let themselves be understood.
Things will take time to settles down, so although you may feel like celebrating right now, just wait.
I see this 3 of cups today as the foundations supporting this child, meaning that there are 3 people who all support and love this child, they are the ones who will help him to heal, they are the ones who will be there no matter what.
It feels like it's time to move away from the prescribed medicines and work towards more natural remedies to aid health.
The children of today, are the tomorrows adults of the future, lets help them to work towards a better foundation for what is to come.

Well that's all for today, but if you'd like a reading with any of the cards here, then please visit Coyote's Realm and if you'd like to talk about these cards or ask any questions about anything spiritual or just need support in some way then why not join my forum
Everyone is welcome.

Take care and have a lovely day folks. See you all tomorrow

2012-03-19T03:12:00.005-07:00

Good morning everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely time with your mothers yesterday and to all you mothers, I hope you had a lovely day, filled with happiness.
I had some beautiful flowers from my children and also a dream catcher, and they also treated me to a lie in and breakfast in bed, so I really can't complain.

Anyway, today, I've pulled a Gothic Tarot and Brian's card.... for a change ;-)

On this lovely sunny Monday morning we have the Knight of Cups.

"In cold dark chambers she waits, her imagination awash with romantic ideals. She remembers days of sun and poems on the lips of her lost suitors."

We're looking back at past loves, and thinking about what was within our grasp.

Ask yourself, is it "better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all" ?
Our lives are enriched when we find love, especially when it is unconditional love.
It brings the romance to the fore, and changes things and shows everything in a new light.

In this card today, we're looking away from the light, and we're wanting to withdraw back to the days that were, to how we knew how to be, whether that was as a single or as a new relationship or even one an established relationship.

Tying this card in with our Brian Card, it's all about looking for new ways.

Things change, we change, situations change and in order to move on we must be willing to embrace the new. It is scary, but the light at the end of the tunnel when we face the right direction is there. It's ready and waiting to show you the way, but only when you're ready to move on.

Yes, another new deck ;-) well not so new, but just been sitting around for a while....

This is the Enchanted Oracle.

The Emerald Princess tells us there is something that is happening, which doesn't feel right to you. Maybe you need to raise your voice a little and speak out, or maybe it's about standing up for yourself or another. Think things through though, if it may be deemed reckless or immature, think about letting it go.

This week though it feels like it's about standing up for your rights and for yourself and not backing down to those who you might fear. Be strong, would you rather stand tall, and speak your mind and be proud of yourself for saying what you think, or would you rather kick yourself when the opportunity passes you by?

By speaking out, this could spark the change in your world.

So, the theme here today is about change, but in order for the change to happen, we must be willing to change. We have to take the step forward, and look for new ways to do things. Stand up and be counted for the things you feel that are right for you. Not right for anyone else, but for you. We can stand up for others, and we do, because that is us as people, but there are times when we need to think about ourselves and do it for us, not for others.

Have a great day, and enjoy the weather.

2012-03-16T04:17:00.000-07:00

Well, good morning everyone.... Happy Friday ;-)

We've got sun!!! makes a change from the last couple of days.
I've decided on 3 cards from the Transparent Tarot again today. I'm really liking this deck, normally I break the deck down into majors and minor arcana's, but this is one of the very few decks I actually feel comfortable using them altogether straight away. ;-)

So, today, we're looking at the 3 of Cups, the Magician and the 5 of swords.

There are celebratory times ahead, you have to work at them at times, but they are there. Rejoice with friends and family, place your trust in them.
Today, the story is about being spiritual, what is happening, what is coming forth. Joining groups can help to enhance your abilities. this gives you a good foundation, should you need help.
The magician can bring our thoughts into reality, and this is what we need to do, be the magician... stop thinking about things and just do them. Be positive about it.
there are those who will try and bring you down. They may cause arguments and make you question your self. Don't let yourself give up.
When things are working, we feel good about it, we want to share it with others, but when the chips are down and things don't work, we keep it to ourselves. We all need to learn to work together, rather than side by side.

Our fortune card, ties in nicely with the 5 of swords.

Medusa is the card of jealousy. Jealousy can lead to downfall. Why be jealous of someone else? What you don't know is that their riches may have come from losing a loved one. The other person may have to work 2 jobs just to have the things they do. Look at the bigger picture, before passing judgement.

When we're jealous, it pushes people away from us, leaving us alone. As people, we can often be our own worst enemy.
When we realise what we're doing, we then start to punish ourselves. It's not worth it. Remember jealousy isn't good for us, it will bring about our downfall.

So that's it for today. Not sure what cards I'll use tomorrow, but why don't you let me know which ones you'd like to see?

Leave me a comment ;-)

Well, good morning everyone
I don't know about you, but I'm cold, I'm tired and hungry but I've got so much to do.

I've decided to introduce you to The Transparent tarot as well today ;-) so here it is. Sorry about the picture, it's quite hard to get a good picture without any reflection etc

First card that I'm looking at is the base card which is the Queen of Wands. As a person, this lady is vivacious, charming and has no problem when all the focus is pinned on her. She's creative, imaginative and maybe just sometimes, she's a bit of a diva! She loves her children to encourage her children to be able to express themselves, but also keeping boundaries in place. She has lots of ideas that need harnessing, I can feel the energy bouncing out of this card, and it feels good.
The second card is the 4 of Wands. This is a card that is saying about goals have been achieved, and things are working out. Solid foundations that were put in place are now working out.
Our third card is the 9 of Pentacles. We have another positive card here. All those money worries that we once had, are now starting to vanish into the sunset. yes we still have to work for what we've got, but we're not worrying about this years holiday are we?

Now, I'm actually not looking at this as a person today though. It's a time of independence and self-empowerment, especially for women. It's about not giving up who we are, being strong and fighting for what is right. If we have to get on a soap box... we do it... We do it to improve our relationships and bring new relationships into our lives to enrich them and enjoy things. It is better for all is we build relationships on firm foundations. we are starting to expand and move forward with new horizons in view.
On a spiritual level we've finally started to find our feet. Everything is coming together as it should.
Now after all our hard work of building things up, we can finally reap what we've sown. Ok, we've been self reliant too long.... having to fight for what is right, what we believe in and where we are headed. Yes, we can do that alone, but isn't it always better to be able to share that with someone else. Our foundations are strong, we fight for what is right and we fight for love, the love of our family.
Now lets all let our inner diva's out today, be that person who makes another's day... you don't have to spend any money, just a few words of encouragement and support... Lets spread some happiness today! ;-)

**********

I also decided on a Fortune card as well today.

We have the Hand of Fate.

This hand of fate works in mysterious ways. Forces which are beyond our control intervene in our current situation and destiny offers us new opportunities. Justice does prevail in this instance, and all is working out for you.

Our fate and destiny lie in our own hands. We have the power to change what lies ahead if we want to.

Things may have seemed out of control , and that someone else was in the driving seat. Now though, you're back in control, no-one else. You can press the gas pedal, or the brake pedal.... the choice is yours.

There was always something written in the stars for you, not that you knew it..... but it always happens at the right time.

Now I will be introducing the Transparent Tarot on to the website very soon. So if you would like a reading using this deck or any of the others, then please get in touch.

Morning,

What a morning I've had already..... arguments with the kids... 1 appointment down and 1 to go.......
It does feel like there's not enough hours in the day today..... but never mind..... One of these days, I'll be able to drop the kids at school, come home and get everything done all in one go. ;-)

Actually think that's wishful thinking on my part isn't it?

Anyway, it's Wednesday, mid week already.... 2 days and it's Friday! ;-)

Wednesdays card is the Queen of Pentacles.

"Calm your fears, call on me. I am always here if you should need my help to nurture your dreams. Despite appearances, this is my ability as Queen and this offer is made to you, my loyal subject."

Despite the things you see, this queen is already to help those in need. As I look at the card today, the hour glass stands out. It's about time today, feeling like there's not enough hours in the day to get everything completed and that we'll have to rush everything.

It's time to stop standing there looking round at others, and actually ask for the help we need. It may not be with a project, it maybe something to do with the home life. There is no shame in asking for help and guidance to get through things.

It's also time to learn not to judge a book by it's cover. Hands up how many of us are guilty of it?
Appearances are always deceptive in any situation. Let the clouds of judgement be blown from your mind.

Our next card is Strength.
In this deck it represents the eternal spirit, and the ability to overcome all obstacles.

Today, the candles are standing out. They're showing us that there is a way through this time, we have the light within ourselves which is our strength. We need to call on this light if we feel ourselves wavering from the path.

Yes, we all want to fall down and have a good cry, but once we've done that, we need to get back up and carry on our way. When we combine this with our queen above, it's about realising when things are going wrong and having that strength to carry on, and even ask for help.

There is always a way, we just have to strength in our faith and our belief's to actually carry on the way we are going.

Our Fortune card today is the Winds of Change. A change is forth coming.
Circumstances or destiny has been altered in some way, now you must decide whether to change your direction or stay on your current course. New prospects and potential new problems are on the horizon, so be prepared to change your way of thinking or your plans.

It looks like today, we're going to need the queen and the strength card in order to help us with the changes that are coming. Now you just have to decide, are these going to be changes for the better or for the worse.... I know which I'd rather have.
So what's it going to be for you? Stay the same or Change your way of thinking?

That's all for today, but watch this space for the Transparent Tarot, which will be coming soon.

In the mean time, have a good day and I'll see you all tomorrow.

2012-03-13T06:23:00.001-07:00

Good morning again everyone,

Hope you've got some nice weather where you are right now. It's a bit cold and grey here, but it's not raining which is a plus. So where are you all? Feel free to let me know if the cards helped you, if you like them or not.

This isn't just about me, it's about all you guys out there. get in touch, come and join Coyote's Realm Forum, everyone's welcome.

Today we have the Sun.

"The creator of all life, bringer of daylight and hope; in it's splendour we are enlightened and filled with joyous optimism. We are able to see clearly and understand the truth."

See the truth, be the truth today. Allow the warmth of the sun to open up new door ways for you. Let yourself be renewed with hope and optimism, let yourself be enlightened with the wisdom of others. From the highest mountains to the deepest valleys. Wisdom and words come from all around. It's a new day today, just as it is everyday, you can be the person you want to be, you can lead others or follow your own path.

So, our next card is the Wheel of Fortune. It's been out a few times this card.

This card represents the spirit facing the fate. We all have to accept what is coming our way, whether we like it or not.

Karma comes to us all, big or small, old or young. Sometimes we have to learn to accept the things that have happened, and that they were for a reason. It is difficult and we must realise that it is only us who puts the barriers in our way. We can change this, we can turn that wheel around, we can open the gates or climb the wall that holds us in.

The tide is changing yet again. Where as before we were quietly in the background, yet again we come to the fore, now it is time to be noticed, to stand strong and not look down, but like the magician we need to hold our head up high.

Let us all start changing the way we do things. Introduce something new, something fun, lighten the mood for another. Accept what is happening right now, and that you can't change what has happened for what could of happened. Change is coming, be ready.

Our fortune card today is The Wizard.

He's a sage philosopher and advisor, as well as being a skilled practitioner of the known sciences and the art of magick. He possesses a mysterious and charming demeanor.

The wizard's power is derived from secret knowledge.
Remember an abuse of power can lead to misfortune. Use your skills to aid others and you will advance to great things.

Also use your skills to help others around you in need. It may be your knowledge or your guidance. Pass it on though, you never know what you'll get back if you don't. ;-)

Have a good day, well what's left of it.....
I've got parent's evening tonight, lucky me.....

Take care and see you all tomorrow

Good afternoon everyone.
Sorry I'm late today, a long story but had to get my daughter checked out.. :-(
Back now though so here's your cards.

We start off with the Gothic tarot and The Knight of Pentacles.

"So long I have waited in these Halls of Darkness, ever vigil to my destiny. Yet, here I shall stay, diligent to my tasks and wait for eternity to support my king."

So the Knight here is patient, he waits for his kings return. he is there to support him no matter how long it may take.

Now this card is about being there for others and supporting them. It doesn't matter how long it takes, just be there, be ready with an ear or a shoulder to lend them.

Be patient, the wheels are turning in the background, things are happening. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and when you reach a cross roads, either way you will reach the end, no matter if you go left or right, just don't turn back.

********

The next card is from the Favole Tarot, we have the Devil.

So, this card is about what's is going on in the subordinated mind. It's a card of fear, shock, being scared subordination, decay, selfishness temptations self destruction and lack of principles.
Now as I look at this card, we have our devil and his wolf beside him. The wolf howling to the members of the pack.

When you look at this card, what is it that you fear? is it being controlled by someone, being selfish or tempted by something or someone?

We all have fears, but instead of letting someone else control us and control those fears or use them against us, lets turn it round and use it to help build us back up. We can change things around when this card shows up.
We all have worries and doubts about what it is we're doing, what we see, our work, our own image even.
We have a lack of principles either for ourselves, our work place or in family life. Never let go of your beliefs, your principles for another. Find a way to work with both sets. Fear holds us back in whatever we do, use the fear to help fuel your passion.

**********

Our Fortune card today is The Gate.

The gate represents an unavoidable obstacle that stands between you and your goal. The gate can only be opened with the correct key, but once unlocked, it leads to a desirable place.

As I look at these gates, I see them slowly opening up. You've found the key, now you just need to open the gates, but remember good things come to those who wait.

So, remember if you like these cards at all, and would like a reading using these cards then please get in touch through Facebook, Twitter or the website Coyote's Realm

More from me tomorrow, so enjoy the rest of your day.

Sunday 11th March

2012-03-10T14:40:00.001-08:00

Good morning everyone.

So, it's Sunday and our first card is the Chariot.

"Ancient and wise, a powerful and authoritative beast, a conqueror of spirits. It's strengths of discipline, determination and assertiveness are self-evident. Its fiery breath will vanquish all indecision."

So, when we're not sure about things, what do we need to do?
Call on the chariot and the dragon to burn away all those seeds of doubt which have been planted within your head.

Burn those ties, those bridges that no longer help you forward on your journey. It can be a difficult thing to do, but it is needed right now.
Dragons have a connection to the earth, call upon that connection upon your inner dragon.

You have to be assertive when dealing with anything, especially when it comes to saying no.
Direct your anger away from others, but use it to your advantage.

**********

Our next card, is the Heirophant.

In this deck it represents conformism and orthodoxy.

Key words with this deck are those of ceremonies, humilities, kindness, inspiration, alliance, servitude and inactivity.

We are always trying to conform with others around us, rather than allowing ourselves to be the person we want. We have to break those bonds and move away from what others perceive to be the right pathway for us. What is right for another is not always right for you.

Show kindness with others, give them hope and inspire them to also break their bonds and let them be free to be themselves. Again, as I look at this card, the angel points the way in which to go. Memories are unearthed and the bones of the past are now your way forward. Looking to the past, looking for guidance from spirit is all well and good, but you have to be strong and do this on your own.

**********

Our fortune card for today is the Siren.

She represents enchantment and dangerous allure. This bewitching water sprite embodies a mysterious and hypnotic influence. A captivating stimulus may incite foolish risk. Resist temptation, but remember to voice your desires.

Temptations are around today, be ready to refuse such things. It is too easy to say yes, and we have to be strong and say no.

Listen to the song of the siren and you will fall into the trap. Don't be fooled by whims and wiles, use your cunning. Allow yourself to express yourself and the things you want, rather than hold them deep inside.

Don't forget if you do like these cards, and would like a full reading with them, then head on over to Coyote's Realm where you can purchase a reading using any of the decks above or on site, and also purchase your own Faulkner Tarot or Brian's Deck.

That's all for Sunday, so have a great day.

2012-03-10T04:04:00.000-08:00

Well, I'm back..... Sorry for no cards, computer went down... :-( but I have a new one now, so no problems.....

We have a lovely sunny Saturday here on the Wirral today. So nice to have the sun out, the birds singing, and hopefully lots of smiling people. :-) So what's the weather like by you?

Anyway, back to our cards.

The heirophant is here today.

"I will impart the knowledge and rituals of the ancient ones, if you will but ask. A keeper of the old ways, my teachings will guide and support you through all adversity."

Allow yourself to look back and see what it is you can learn from the past, that will help you with the what is to come.

If there is something you wish to know, maybe about your family tree, then the only way you can research it is by asking others to help you. Though we are able to do things on our own, there are things that we do need help for.
We should never be afraid to ask for help and guidance along our journey in life. It is how we learn and how we teach others.

Let your guides help you with the knowledge and guidance you seek at this time, they will take you to where it is you need to be.
Always remember, when the time is right the master will appear to the student.

**********

Our next card is the Emperor. He represents self-control through intelligence. He has the power, the confidence, wealth, stability and authority amongst many things. He is a male influence in your life right now, one that watches over you, he helps to guide you to the right pathway. He gives you the strength to help yourself when he can not.

Have the courage to go with what you feel. You are being watched over, and the 2 cards combined being that there is a male watching over you. He is in the realm of spirit right now, he sees you, watches you and wants to help you along your way, but you must realise that he can not take that route for you, only you can.

We have to learn from his wisdom, take his guidance, strength and confidence and continue that way ourselves. you will always have someone watching over you, even if you feel you haven't.

**********

Our last card is the Fortune card.

We have the green eyd 'monster' today.

Medusa represents envy and corruption of beauty. This mythical being can also signify an act of jealousy, exile or harsh punishment. Remember that excessive jealousy leads to downfall.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, but that's because it's been looked after.

Don't let yourself be punished for something or don't even punish yourself for something others have done, or for the fact that you have lost something and they haven't. It doesn't help you, and it doesn't help them.

If you have got someone who is jealous, or is acting like a snake in the grass, call them out... you call the shots not they.....

Right that's all for today folks, but if you'd like to see any o0ther cards here just let me know which ones, and I might also have another treat very soon and start using my new deck the Transparent Tarot, which I received yesterday.

Don't forget you can find me on Facebook, Twitter and also at Coyote's Realm Forum and you can contact me through the website which is Coyote's Realm if you would like a reading using any of these cards.

Have a lovely day, and have fun

Good afternoon everyone,

I would of loved a lie in today, but 6am I was woken up ;-) I love kids.... not a lot sometimes and especially not at 6am.... :-)

So I've included a fortune card today which ties in quite nicely with our other cards, so let me know what you think.

Contrary to popular belief, the queens heart is tender. Her love for the king is unquestionable and she can offer compassion to those who would quench their fear and ask her guidance.

This is when the saying "Never judge a book by its cover" comes into action. We look at the queen here, and she looks quite hard, almost as if she thinks she is above us in the pecking order. What we need to remember is that no-one is above us, we are all equal no matter what, we all eat, drink and go the bathroom just like anyone else.

The Queens appearance at first glance is quite harsh, but as you take the time to look at her and you then start to see who she really is. A kind hearted woman who would take the time to listen. She wears dark colours as she wants to fade silently into the background, but she would weep, just as you would.

Appearances are always deceiving. The heart sees what the eyes do not... Open your heart to see what lies within another's soul, let yourself open up and be free, don't be scared to hold back, but just think carefully about what it is you want to say. Take heed to write your words down, as words are often easier to write than to speak when it comes to those you care for and love with all your heart.
Let your inner self shine through, and although things may seem dark right now, you will start to shine. It will take time, when you need to withdraw, withdraw, focus on you and then you will know when the time is right to move on.

Our second card is La Muerte.

This card represents the spirit in transformation.
There's unexpected changes ahead, maybe leaving a friendship behind, moving forward from a relationship. A feeling of being immobilised, slow or even partial changes, it can even be the avoidance of an accident and sometimes, only sometimes can it be about actual death.

Now, As I look at this card, I see someone sleeping, in a stasis as a butterfly would., just ready to emerge feeling cool calm and collected in their thoughts and emotions.

This card is a sign of the change that is to come, finding your self wanting to make the change, maybe there is something that you want, but currently, it is making you feel sad and lonely. Knowledge is often gained through sleep from your guides. Once this knowledge is gained and you access it you can make the much needed changes in your life.

Our last card is Fire. It's the element of action and energy, and represents the destructive forces of nature. Small sparks can lead to bigger things, reckless actions can lead to conflict.

Think before you speak, don't be ruled by your emotions in anything that could cause hurt and upset.

Fire can be cleansing, often once the fire has burnt away the old, it makes way for new. Some seeds can not grow until they are in the middle of the fire and once it has died away, they grow tall and strong.

Let yourself imagine the warmth of the fire and the flames burning away what is no longer needed in your life.

Anyway, that's all for now, we're now watching Black Beauty for the 3rd time already..... good job I like it....

Have a good day.

Good morning People

Hope you're all well. What a lovely day yesterday, and it looks like it will be another nice one today.
I've got to go with my mum to Liverpool today.... god help me please..... She's driving...... :/

Anyway, I'll let you all send some nice positive thoughts and calming ones my way lol.... meanwhile, I'll be on the Bach Flower remedy ;-)
Wicked aren't I? That's me and my mum for you, we love to wind each other up.....

So, our first card today is the Queen of Wands.

Self-assured and with regal confidence, she embodies all the qualities a Queen should hold and with her smile, gathers many an admirer.

This queen carries her wand, her symbol of protection at one end, and majick at the other. As I look at the wand I see the end with the pentagram is weighted down, it feels like you are heavily protected at this time. The majick reminds me of smoke, and I want to say this lady is "smokin'" lol....
Appearing within the mist as if by majick, she appears in your life, if she's not already there.

Her masque compliments that of her dress and her dragon's wings.
Her smile is enigmatic, all knowing, and there is a softness that appears in her eyes and mouth. All that glitters is not gold though.

People often wear the masque because they want to be someone they're not.Again, wear red and black today. Let majick into your life, and know that you are protected at this time.

When meeting someone new, don't let all your secrets out of the bag, make yourself appear mysterious to them, that way if they want to get to know you, they'll have to contact you, and get to know you slowly. ;-)

**********

Now, our second card is the Wheel of Fortune.

This card represents the spirit facing the fate. We all have to accept what is coming our way, whether we like it or not.

**********

I've just decided to pull one of the Madame Endora's Fortune card as well....

We have The Spirit. It actually ties in with our Queen.

The spirit is watchful and a protector, you're being influenced by higher powers, and although things have been hindered by setbacks, they have long term benefits. Everything happens for a reason. ;-)

Again, red is the colour of the day today, wear some, carry some or just enjoy the colour when you see it....

So then, what do you all think of the Fortune card? Want to see it again? If you do, let me know, leave me a comment ;-)

Have a lovely day, and if you ever feel like you don't know your pathway in life, or feel like you don't fit in anywhere, why not pop a long to the forum... Coyote's Realm Forum Everyone is welcome,we don't bite..... honest!!!

Bye for now

Good afternoon everyone
Sorry I'm late today, but got stuff to do as well you know ;-)

Anyway, we're kicking of today with the Knave of Wands.

I want to say about having the courage of your convictions to go with what you feel is right.
Tiny, but mighty is this knave, he listens and then speaks to you. What is it that you seek the answer to? There are skeletons in closets, are you sure you're ready for this? Look beyond the veil, look far beyond the window, connect with your inner dragon to gain the knowledge and wisdom, but are you courageous enough to do it right now, or will you wait till you are supported by others.

When you gain the knowledge, what will you do with it? Are you going to use it to your best advantage, or are you going to store the information for a rainy day? The choice is yours.

He's not afraid to speak his mind, or do what he thinks is right, ask yourself, Are you?

Our Second Card is the Chariot. Now in this deck, it's about the triumph of the mind. It's all about over coming adversity, conflicting influences, or even fleeing from reality.
The water signifies our emotions within our head right now, the boat is the vehicle which we negate the water or our emotions. We can over come things when it comes down to it, we have to remain positive though.

The buildings makes it feel like we're hemmed in right now, with nowhere to go, the bridge again continuing the journey. Now when you look at the card, does it feel like the boat is coming towards you or is it moving towards the buildings?

To me it looks like it's heading towards me, I'm escaping from the horrors or the reality's of this realm and moving towards something fresh and new.

Have a great day

2012-02-29T04:54:00.003-08:00

Right, just for your information, I'm now on Pinterest as well as Facebook, Twitter and god knows where....

Anyway, the King of Wands came out today.....

At first, when we look at this card, it's quite fearsome. Our King here looks angry, but then we see the anger can be used in other ways to fuel the fires of passion, fuel the desirer to get things done, burn the bridges that bind us to places or to people.

The red dragon has the connection to the earth and sleeps in Gaia's core. He is powerful and mighty, but deep down it's because he has to be. Red is the colour of assertiveness, of passion and confidence, but it is also the colour of anger, and ferocity.

This is the one who can move between his world and ours. As we look upon him, feel yourself invoke his power his ability and his flair. Feel yourself grow with each step, with each look into his eyes. Step out from your dwelling place and open up your wings. Use the knowledge that you have gained from the king to flourish and grow, Let your wings unfold and let yourself be free.

If my kids saw this, they'd say it's their Nanna ;-) so I wouldn't be saying it's your in laws..... but who here refers to the in law as a dragon?

Someone's getting rather steamed up over something, but you know something.... you're getting steamed up over nothing, it really isn't worth the energy.

The card from the Favole deck is The Moon.

Other messages with this card are deception, twilight, obscurity,, trickery, caution, warning, bad influence and slyness amongst other things.

Nothing is ever as it appears to be. When you look at something in the glow of the moonlight, it never appears the same. Is it majickal, is it mystical? Caution is needed, whatever you feel. Be aware of situations around you. Don't let yourself be fooled by another persons lies or tricks.

You are wanting to connect fully, mind, body and spirit, but as yet the confidence to rid yourself of things that hinder you is not yet there.
Shy, but alluring, shining in the night, but there is something which holds you back. In order to bloom like the flower in the picture, you have to let yourself be free, being the person you are, not the person others want you to be.
Let your awareness grow, call on the goddess for help. Let crystals be cleansed in the moonlight.

Tarot decks Discussion

2012-02-29T03:00:00.002-08:00

Just a quick question, what would you like to see here? Do you want the gothic cards or want something different?

Maybe a discussion?
Now, I've been thinking.... with Tarot, there are so many readers out there. We've all got different decks. Which decks do you like?
Are you drawn to the traditional style cards, your RW decks, or do you like the more modern decks?
What is it you like about them? The colours, the images or something entirely different?
To be honest, I'm not much of a traditionalist, as you may of noticed ;-)
I like my Gothic cards, my dragons and animals and water coloured cards. I like the unusual, bit like me really ;-)
I've just ordered the Transparent Tarot by Emily Carding, so I'll introduce them soon.

For those of you who don't have cards, what sort of image do you like? We all think of the death or tower card being scary, but if you look at the tower from the gothic tarot, it's beautiful. It's bright and not at all 'omg' lol

What is it with reversed cards as well? You'll notice I never bother with reversed meanings... honestly, I don't think there's any need for them. If something is going to happen then it will happen and it will come out in the cards.
Although I'll give you the meanings of the cards, I generally look at the pictures and connect with them that way.....

Let me know more about what you want to see.... or if you want to discuss it in more detail why not go to my forum. Coyote's Realm Forum

2012-02-28T02:13:00.001-08:00

Morning folks,

Today is going to be short and sweet. Not had a very good night last night and not much sleep, so I'm shattered. So once the cards are done, I am going to get my head down for a bit.... ;-)

Borne on the wings of love, passion and sensuality. The ability to make good choices and of change. Embrace the light and yet, beware the dark.

We all have the choice in whatever we want. Learn which is best for you, but be aware of those who would try to lead you away from your own choices.

Although it is nice to work with "love and light" at the same time understand that there is a fine line between that and the dark. The dark side is seductive and can draw you in, but having the knowledge beforehand is essential for making decisions.

In essence we are sensual beings. Allow yourself to love and give your love freely, express your passionate side. When it comes to the ones you love, tell them or show them how you feel. Express your sensuality in whichever way you feel best fits you, be honest with yourself.

You choose, no-one else.

Our next card is Strength.

In this deck it represents the eternal spirit, able to overcome all obstacles.
It can represent determination, courage, conviction, energy, zeal, fervour, virility, resolution and physical abilities. It can also be about pettiness, sickness, lack of faith and weaknesses.

Now as I look at this card today, I see the woods in the background of the picture. What happens when you are lost, when you are scared? Do you run and hide or do you stand, brush yourself off and continue on your way.

We all have those moments of weakness when we're on our knees crying for that which we have lost, or that we can't see through the trees any more. Now though we know we can see the pathway, it is lit up for us. We will find a way through, no matter what, we just have to have the strength of character and have the courage of our convictions to carry on.

That's all for today, but feel free to leave a comment.

Good morning ;-)

wow, is that the time? 11:15.....
Have you all had a good weekend? I did, very relaxing..... went to watch The Woman in Black. It wasn't bad, wasn't as scary as I thought it would be, but think the ending was a bit rubbish.... If you've seen it, what did you think?

So,anyway, time for the cards today.

Our first card out is the Wheel of Fortune.

In ancient chambers her destiny is revealed, the old ways are now left behind. A new purpose is set in motion that allows her to see her path with clarity.

So, we all wonder what our path in life is, or what our purpose or role is. Sometimes we know, sometimes we don't. We have the key to finding out. Forget that which has happened in the past, look now to the future.

How do you look at yourself? Do you see someone who is willing to work hard? or do you see someone who has tried it, and given up?

This girl is looking at herself, she sees her future self, one where she has gained her wings , she has worked hard to get them, and now she knows what it is she must do in order to get there.
Reflect on the things you have done, if you've tried something that didn't work, did you just give up, or did you keep going, or did you change things?
Things will become clearer, give them chance.

**********

Our next card is Justice.

In the Favole deck the Justice card represents balance, as well as harmony, equity, virtue, honour, just reward, good intentions, advice, well-meaning actions and self satisfaction.

We all need balance within our lives. It's not all about work, and it's not all about play..... just as it is not all about white or black. There are always 2 sides to every story. Everything has an opposite.
This card seems to be carrying on with a theme for me of late, which is about facing our fears. We all fear the unknown and the things we can not see. When we are balanced in life, and able to face our fears, then we are able to listen to others, give them advice, and also listen to others comments.
We are in tune with our body and our mind and our actions whether it is for ourselves or for another will give us the satisfaction we are looking for.

Be ready to listen to both sides of the story before jumping to conclusions, it will save on the exercise and the tears in the long run. ;-)

Well, here's to a lovely day.

See you all tomorrow

Afternoon folks, hope you're all having a lovely day.

So whilst I was pulling out my normal cards, I had these words pop into my head so I thought I'd share them with you.
"Never be afraid to stand tall and push the boundaries. Make yourself stand out in the crowd. Be different, and be willing to make changes, face your inner self, face your shadow..... Face your fears..."

The first card is the Tower.

Through necessity she daily spins her web, to bring order from the chaos. The old ways become the new and so will it continue to be so, safe in her silken thread.

Each day, we weave our own web, whether we realise it or not. Know that each day, you are safe, if you should fall for any reason, because there is the safety net in place.

The colour purple is significant in this card today, because it is spirit that is behind you, helping you to keep safe. They don't want you to fall. Spiders are our friends, ok so we may not like them, but they catch the flies and insects, and when we look at their webs, we can see the true beauty in them.

I'm being drawn to the jewels around the waist and it reminds me of amethyst, so wear amethyst as a pendant or earrings, carry a piece today, keep some in your pillows.

Our next card is The Star. This card represents the spirit of hope and faith.

It's our card of inspiration, prospects, fulfillment, promising opportunities and also the mixing of the past and the present.

I'm looking at this card today, and it's about the past, the present and the future.
Looking back at the past, we can see what mistakes have been made and we know what we need to do in order to change them. This is what we're doing now in our present, we're changing the things we don't like, we're making them better. We've sweated blood and tears to do this and we've cut the ties which have bound us, and now we can start to make things great for our future.
We light up the sky and shine down, and when we see a star, make a wish, but just don't be too greedy. ;-)

On a clear evening why not go out and watch the night sky, take the peace and quiet and wrap yourself in it's arms, listen to the sounds of a night and enjoy the night time song.

Right I'm off now so hope you all have a lovely day,

Bye for now

Afternoon everyone,

Sorry we're late today, got distracted by talking to the JW's at my door earlier on.... That's another story though ;-)

So anyway, we're kicking off today with the Knight of Wands.

With wings unfurled and breath of fire, he displays his passion for life, as well as his courage that knows no bounds.

It's a day were you've found your courage,your foot hold and you feel good about it. In fact, you want to share this with everyone, so you've climbed to the highest roof top to shout about it and share with everyone.

Lightening doesn't strike in the same place twice, so go with it, and enjoy this time. Pass on your vibrations to others to help uplift them in their hour of need. Be proud of you and who you are, who you have grown to become, let the light shine out from the highest tower, and let it shine down on the smallest flower.

Our Second Card is the Chariot. Now in this deck, it's about the triumph of the mind. Over coming adversity, overcoming conflicting influences, or even fleeing from reality.
The water signifies our emotions within our head right now, the boat is the vehicle which we negate the water. or the emotions. We can over come things when it comes down to it, we have to remain positive though.
The buildings makes it feel like we're hemmed in right now, with nowhere to go, the bridge again continuing the journey. Now when you look at the card, does it feel like the boat is coming towards you or is it moving towards the buildings?
To me it looks like it's heading towards me, I'm escaping form the horrors or the reality's of this realm and moving towards something fresh and new.

So let me know what you think by leaving a comment.... I don't bite, honestly.
And before I forget, why come and join my forum, everyone is welcome, the link is http://www.coyotesrealm.com/

Bye for now,
