FM Aquarius- Native

This spread seemed interesting. I decided to give it a quick run with one of the decks (there were 3 diff spreads this month for the FM so wasn't going to run the gauntlet for all of them! haha) 

Native Deck


1. What part of myself have I been holding back? 8 of Shields- Sand painter
Sand paintings were done by the medicine man, often with helpers, through out the day and left to blow away with the wind. Intricate designs, left to be given to the wind, impermanence. (omgs do I have a problem with the concept of this). The essence of the sand painter is luck through spiritual and artistic pursuits, but one must remain in balance with nature. 
//developing theme here of balance with nature, art, and spirituality for fixing myself. 
2. What assumption or social norm is getting in my way? Chief of Pipes (R)
 He tries to win, but fails so holds contempt for the world. This causes him to be withdrawn, petty, unsocial, mean.
3. What new attitude will propel me bravely forward? Warrior of Vessels (R)
His superficiality can make it impossible to reach his innocence and sensuousness, as it is said "his name is writ in water." Lack of character causes affairs to be mismanaged, his whole career will be failure. Schizophrenia and melancholy will signal the final catastrophe. 
4. How can I begin to express myself more fully? 10 of Vessels- Happy Family
 Take care of the home first, the rest will follow.

Thoughts on Oracle Deck

Image
This is to put together my questions and thoughts about creating my oracle deck. If you have been given this link, please provide your insights where I linked thank you. Background Info My cards have one aspect, per deity, per card. This gave me 41 cards out of 15 deities plus a couple concept cards. Since the deities have multiple descriptions, I used different appearances per aspect. These will be meant to speak to the deities, place on the altar during rituals to focus on, meditate upon, and other ritual uses. As I have worked further with the development I have come to notice I am adding some more aspects to some of the deities who were not well understood in time for the Inktober challenge that gave me the deck so far. So it will be more like 50-60 cards when done depending on the outcome of the meaning question. Card Layout Ideas 1. Image & name on front, story on the back.   - This does not give a surprise if you look while shuffling/choosing. 2. Image & name on fron...

Examples of Automatic Art

Image
Here are some examples of my automatic art. I realized that my description in the previous blog was a bit sparse. These are oracle style automatic drawings based on tarot readings. Obviously I don't do this for standard tarot rates as it takes much longer. Quick overview of my process for these ones: 1. Pull the card(s) for the question. 2. I will go through the known meaning for what pops out at me and jot it down. 3. I sit in trance gazing at the card until images hit me. 4. I start to sketch. 5. I add in another layer of interpretation to the meaning based upon the image that results. Turn around time 6-24 hrs depending upon the number of cards and level of detail.

Full Moon in Sag (Jun 9th)- Giger v Sumerian v Vibrational

Image
I've been a little busy this month so I did not get a chance to sit down and decode these in a timely manner. My other half found his Vibrational Medicine Cards and lent them to me. I'm starting to work with them as well as the others.  Giger  1. What impulses need taming? The Hierophant This is the card for taking care of the whole of the world and piety before the self, likened to nunnery over being swept off your feet. Being more practical here would be less tending to the faith and loving the rest of the world and more towards loving self and allowing my partner to love me as a woman (allowing femininity to blossom). Be more woman, less reverend and counselor/healer.  Stop with the taking care of others before myself. It literally is causing me harm.  2. Where can I best direct my energy? The Empress Personifies the living, nurturing side of the souls embedded in the depths of the goddess since the Great Mother (origin of all life). ...
