2009-05-23T09:43:00.004+10:00

the best thing about depression is that it causes you to get idle hands moving and racing mind focused

I have been busy beading and the scanned images just do not do these pieces justice....however, I need to get them on here as my MAY offering to the Goddess of All Things Arty.........

There are several other pieces i have made as well, but because of my nature, i tend to give them away before i can scan them...........

anyway, this is' MAY almost art'

Card Of the Day- Athena- warrior (2/4)

2008-03-19T10:12:00.004+11:00

I am the one who

requires constant focus and strength.

I am the one who is seeing what lays ahead and working towards that with steely reserve.

I am the one who has wisdom on my side, who knows what i face and what is expected of me.

I am the one who is not afraid of the future, knowing that i am perfectly armed to deal with any situations that arise.

Today

stay focused and aware.

Use wisdom in all you say and do.

Now is not the time for attack- now is an observing period- watching and waiting.

Now is the time when you prepare yourself mentally for what is expected physically.

comment

this card again !?!

Card Of the Day- Ancestors (1/1)

2008-03-18T16:45:00.003+11:00

I am the one who

has lived before and will live again.

i am the one who is walking in the fields sown by the ancestors, i am here and now but soon, i too will be past.

I am the one who makes sure that my legacy is not just a moment caught in a photo- i am the one who works hard to achieve real tangible memories and works to leave in my place for the next generation.

I am a future ancestor, and a past ancestor and i am separated only by a veil of shadow from the world beyond.

Today

reminisce, but do not dwell in the past- remember life and lessons learnt but do not stay in that place, remember to grow.

water the plants you have growing and know in your heart that you are indeed part of the plan.

living is fleeting but life is eternal.

it is what you do now that counts.

Card Of the Day- (Random)- Answerable

2008-03-17T09:12:00.004+11:00

i am the one who

tells you in no uncertain terms that all your actions, thoughts, words, reactions are linked and that link causes change.

I am the one who tells you that the 'butterfly effect' is reality and all actions have a reaction.

I am the one who makes you answerable to your self, your home, your Goddess and your earth.

I am the one who wants you to acknowledge that you are part of the plan and that all your actions have consequences, whether you see them or not.

I am the need for balance and the need for earth justice.

Be fair.

Today

Who is judging you ? Is it you ?

Beware of your place in the scheme of life and fulfill your obligations to self, goddess and earth.

Just as all actions have reactions so do all non-actions and you must become aware of this.

Take control of the situation at hand and be fair with those around you.

Balance is required today- it is not all about you.

Comments

This is one of my 'random' cards that are solo and not part of any compilation.

Originally titled Earth Mother, it has today taken me in an entirely different direction.

Card Of the Day- Faith (3/3)

2008-03-16T10:15:00.003+11:00

I am the one who

knows that true faith is not 'fluffy' and 'light' but more the result of endless years knowledge and hard work and wisdom.

I am the one who tells you to believe in yourself and your dream but also to be able to understand that there are no magic answers and that work is required on your part as well.

I am the one who knows that true faith is hard at times and the pressure to give up can be high.

I am not the written word, I am the knowing of truth.

I am the connection of light to light and the trusting of light even in the darkest days.

Faith cannot be given nor born into.
Faith is personal growth and acceptance of divinity.

Today
look at life with compassion and wisdom.
Know that all is part of the plan and that where you are is where you need to be. Open your heart to new matters yet know you are safe in your love and your light.

Sleep when required- this provides your connection to spirit- pray and acknowledge your need for inner peace and solitude.

Be at one with you and the aspect of divinity you most relate to.

Have faith.

Card Of the Day- Earth (3/5)

2008-03-15T12:54:00.002+11:00

I am the one who

shows you the way to build on your strength and your character. I am the one who shows you that already you have made substantial growth and that yet there is still more to come.

I am the one who has a world build around me and upon my strength and this must be honoured and acknowledged.

I am the one who holds the foundations in place to allow further growth.

I am strong, practice and reliable yet my hand is open to you and your advice, input.

I am the one who allows others to grow on my sturdiness, who prepares the earth for growth, who nourishes new dreams and knowledge.

Today

ask yourself , 'what are you growing here?'

work hard at the mundane aspects of this growth- accept responsibility for your plans and ideas and lay the ground work to bring them to fruition.

All you plant has much potential to grow yet must be tended carefully and with love during the foundation process.

Eat well and pursue healthy options in life.

Stay open to goddess wisdom that is coming your way.

Comments

I feel like i am seeing a lot of this card lately !!!!!!

Card Of the Day- Athena- warrior (2/4)

2008-03-14T09:43:00.003+11:00

I am the one who

focuses on that which is just out of vision range.
i am the one who uses female strngth and wisdom to achieve results and to stand my ground.
I am strong and anything i achieve is of my own doing, my own planning-
I am fearless and becasue of this you see me as leader.

I am the one who is looking forward, seeking wise counsel and preparing for action.

Today
prepare yourself for the day ahead- there is much that you are watching, observing from a distance that will come to make sense and require your understanding.

Your focus today on all things at hand is required- for now observe- the time for action is near.

Notes :
twice in one week !!

Card Of the Day- Grief (3/2)

2008-03-13T09:08:00.004+11:00

I am the one who

knows the pain of loss and the darkness of the grieving process. i am the one who feels the pain of the mundane world on a cellular level and knows that even within the darkest hours, there is light, should i choose to search for it.

I am the one who believes with all my heart and soul that just as every beautiful moment is Goddess given so is every dark moment, and that at all times during my dark days i can turn around and find the light.

Today

beware of the need to recharge rather than suffer burn out.

reconnect with the light and don't become buried down in the minutia of life.

Watch for headaches and despairing situations and be prepared for bad news should it occur.

Remember that you are guided on this path and that this too shall pass.

Call on help- it is there waiting for you should you ask. be prepared to be the 'help' should others call on you.

Do not wallow in self pity and pain- turn and face the light.

Stand by to assist another with their journey through grief.

Nest Egg- (2/6)

2008-03-12T13:39:00.004+11:00

This is a card I made recently about the pro's and con's of money.

Actually, the card sort of made itself as they do- my original intention was to have a card reflecting material wealth and the completed card is that and more.

I am the one who

starts out small and if left unheeded grows fast and wild.

I am the one who starts out harmless and appealing but who will grow and change with rapid succession. I will need watching because as i grow, my size and abilities will effect change in your life , your attitudes and your living arrangements.

Many do not see the danger of me, thinking that as i grow big and strong, so do they. Many see me as a symbol of their personal value and strength.

This is illusion and is part of the mysticism i use to make you crave me.

The truth is harder, because as i grow i require special handling and care and eventually, i require to be set free to where i can do the most good and the least harm.

I am the one who's proper value can only be seen by those who step away from me.

Those who choose to focus on me completely will soon become lost in the love of me, the illusion of control they have over me, when in truth, all the time i am growing, i am growing in control over you.

To step away gives you different perception, logic rather than emotion.

What do you have to give me?

knowledge and wisdom that the comfort of money has a price you may pay with your peace and security.

Knowledge that control of money is a true illusion and that in truth, from the very beginning, money has the control over you.

Understanding that as money grows so does its need to be contained and released, or else it will become harmful to you and everyone around you.

How will I remember?

By acknowledging that you never know what an egg may contain.

Card Of the Day- positive body image ( 1/2)

2008-03-12T09:02:00.003+11:00

I am the one who

is beautiful just by being me. I am age, wisdom and growth interspersed with the vibrancy of youth.

I am the one who accepts aging as another stage in the true beauty process and sees the life force in life at all stages.

I am the one who goes to no real lengths to show my beauty other than being me. I am comfortable in my skin, i am a beautiful mature woman.

Today

Enjoy the wisdom and beauty that comes with age and experience. You need no fancy dressings to make your beauty shine- be yourself and allow others around you to be themselves as well. Look deep within each person for the core of beauty and honour that in them as well as in yourself.

Instead of mirroring the world outside your body, be a window to the world inside.

Enjoy your beauty just by being beautiful, wise and female.

Card Of the Day- Athena- warrior (2/4)

2008-03-11T07:48:00.005+11:00

I am the one who

is focused and intent.

I am the one who feels under attack, threatened and so is prepared to fight to survive.

I am the one who sees life in black and white and who knows that emotions at a time like this are useless.

This is a time for focus and knowledge, for utilizing strength and wisdom.

A time of logic.

I am the one who does what needs to be done, with out fear.

Today
stay focused on what you have to do.
employ logic rather than emotion and move forward without fear
all is within reach now if you can maintain the focus required.
use your strength and power to accomplish that which feels out of reach and be relentless in your quest.

You will achieve today- stay focused.

Card Of the Day- Priestess (8/1)

2008-03-10T08:27:00.003+11:00

I am the one who

knows the truth of this, the 'how it must be'- i am wise and strong and rejoice in my femininity and female power.

I am classic and eternal, ancient and new- for as long as there has been women, I have been and will continue to be.

Today

honour your ancient strength- honour the aspects which make you the women you are- look at the world with strength and with purpose knowing that you are exactly where you need to be today.

Continue to release fear and take care not to over expose the third eye chakra during prolonged psychic work.

Be open, strong and know that you are guided, that your mission here is as a chosen one of the divine.

Embrace your knowing.

Card Of the Day- Dreamstate (3/4)

2008-03-09T11:00:00.003+11:00

I am the one who

has dreams that connect me to another realm, another time and and other place.

I am the one who is downloaded with information while sleeping and who answers her own questions in the dream state.

My dreams are prophetic and should be heeded- they are a connection with the Divine, to ignore them is a risk you must weigh.

Today

be aware of recent dreams and the emotions they bring to the surface- sleep when required, this is your connection time and important to you- notice the syncronisities in life and the reoccurring themes in dreams. be aware that you are today, standing very near the edge of two worlds and that at times they will mesh and mingle.

Take time out when required.

Card Of the Day-Wish (11/1)

2008-03-08T11:13:00.002+11:00

I am the one who

believes in magic, miracles and wishes coming true.

I am the one who has an aspect of fantasy about me and seeks to find answers where others don't look.

I am the one who has stumbled upon a great gift and is uncertain how to properly approach it, utilise it.

There is no fear, but wonderment.

I am the one who is in the process of 'watching' 'looking' 'investigating' before deciding how to proceed. I am viewing another world, watching it happen unsure what it means to me.

I am the one who observes the magic of the universe.

Today

watch in awe as life and magic mingle around you to create the world you call your life.

Be inspired, motivated and enthusiastic.

Enjoy the games life presents and observe in silence what you see around you- now is not the time to get involved, now is watch time.

Card Of the Day- Me, Myself & I (4/4)

2008-03-07T09:22:00.004+11:00

I am the one who

knows and understands my place in the wheel of life. I am the one who moves without conscious effort from one phase to another.

I am the one who is at all times maiden, mother, crone, never separate but intermingled, all three aspects shining through.

Today is a a female energy day.

Women of all ages in abundance

Today is a day to care about and nurture the self, which is me and to appreciate the divinity that i am.

Earth plays a major part and money, health issues are obvious in a positive way.

There is wisdom of immense nature now presenting itself to me and to fully access it i must look at it through the eyes of all women, not just myself.

Female energy

I am the one who carries the title of Kassandra, the Unheeded Prophetess, for i foresaw the ending of Troy yet none would hear my words.

I am daughter of Priam and Hecuba, sister to Hector and Paris. I am royal, Princess, yet chose to devote my life to the Sun Lord as Priestess of Apollo.

I am eternally wise and psychically gifted yet cursed in the fact that i am thought mad and dismissed.

I am the one who for seen the fires, the ships, the violence and murder before the fall of ancient Troy. I saw the horse and the war.

The sadness of my visions will never leave me.
