Happy Beltane!





April's showers have given way to rich and fertile earth, and as the land greens, there are few celebrations as representative of fertility as Beltane. Observed on May 1st, festivities typically begin the evening before, on the last night of April. It's a time to welcome the abundance of the fertile earth, and a day that has a long (and sometimes scandalous) history. Depending on your tradition, there are a number of ways you can celebrate this Sabbat. First, you might want to read up on:



Rituals and Ceremonies

Depending on your particular tradition, there are many different ways you can celebrate Beltane, but the focus is nearly always on fertility. It's the time when the earth mother opens up to the fertility god, and their union brings about healthy livestock, strong crops, and new life all around.
Here are a few rituals you may want to think about trying -- and remember, any of them can be adapted for either a solitary practitioner or a small group, with just a little planning ahead.

Lets talk about the Psy cards!!










Psy cards a new dimension to the Tarot...

There are 40 cards is this deck . The cards are grouped into 5 main categories: Direction cards, fundamentals, symbols, archetypes, characters, and happenings.

This is another addition to my huge deck of Tarot and Oracle collection. They really get into the Psyche and touch on the most deeper issues that are going on around and within your life.  They show very powerful symbols that stands out for something else, like a signpost. Which work on different levels,intellectual and emotional. Over the years maybe for hundreds and thousands of years, individual powerful symbols have worked themselves into the wiring of our brains!
A symbol is often a bridge that links two different areas of human experience.

I love this deck as it goes deep and very different from the usual Tarot deck, they have such a powerful influence in its own right. Its influence is modified by those cards near it, as with the traditional tarot! giving very accurate readings, i wouldn't  really recommend this deck  to the novice who is learning to read cards or hasn't developed their psychic ability ,as they are more for a professional reader. As they take alot of focus and intuition to really delve into things.

Also i want to add that there are 3 cards in this deck. the Now, Yes, No ,and Never which is very good for straight forward questions you want immediate , yes no answers to!

Daily Cards

Robin Wood Tarot
Robin Wood Tarot



Today i have decided to use the Robin Wood Deck for my daily tarot.
Wow what  a mix this is, 3 major cards, so I'm thinking today is going to be one of importance, or rather my life at the moment is going through some very major changes, The fool shows a fresh new beginning and perhaps stepping out into unknown territory  which seems quite daunting to say the least , seeing as i usually like to stick to what i know. Its all about stepping out of my comfort zone and the apprehension I'm feeling regarding this, i already am aware of this , so I'm not surprised these cards have shown up for me today! 

The world is showing fulfilment will at last be mine , the fact that all the lessons have or are about to be learnt and I'm at last reaching my goal and its about to happen.
 The death card shows me that i need to let go of my comfort zone and to not be afraid of the changes that I'm going through right now , as its very much needed, and that the new beginning will be positive as long as i think things through and be sensible , I'm happy to have received these 3 cards today actually as i have been pretty worried of these changes that i am aware of , not that they are negative, its life changing for me and its what I've always been striving for.

More to come tomorrow...........!!
