Magical Moment - Deer in Daylight

A little while ago, I was on my way to work when I randomly turned down a street that was not on my usual route.  At first I was really annoyed with myself and I scolded myself for not paying attention.  How silly I was to turn onto the wrong street when I've been going to work on the same route for years!

But then, I saw this beautiful graceful deer wandering down the road.  She didn't look stressed or lost, she just seemed like she was exploring this human street while there were few humans around to spook her off her adventure.

I began to wonder if perhaps my accidental turn off routine was not an accident after all.  I wondered if maybe the universe thought that I needed to see this deer having her adventure.  Maybe I was so lost in my routine I was missing hidden beauties that were just a small turn off my rutted path.  I was so grateful I had this opportunity to share a moment of this brave deer's adventure.

Amissio Alfar is wise. 

Her beauty and voice mesmerize. 

Desire she gives, 

A true love that lives. 

You'll find yourself lost in her eyes. 

We cannot always choose who we love, but we can choose who we are with. This week, you may find yourself struggling with an important relationship, if that is the case, you may want to ask yourself some hard questions.

We cannot coerce someone to change their behavior. It is nearly impossible for us just to change ourselves! So one hard question to ask is "If this person does not ever change, am I alright with that?"

This is particularly true if your feelings for this person are more intense than what they feel for you. Another hard question to ponder is "Am I willing to accept what they are able to give me?"

What is important to know that if either answer is no, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. It is difficult to lose important relationships, but sometimes the best way to show appreciation for another is to let them go their own way alone.

Weekly Divination - 1 Fairy Card Draw

A Vila like Via loves change.

Her home any road she can range.

A whirlwind this sprite

Her weakness is spite.

But vigor and vim her exchange.

As you face the open road. It can be a daunting vision; to look before you and stare into the unknown for as far as your eyes can see. However, as you begin to put one foot down in front of the other and propel yourself forward for another step, and then another, your vision may allow you to see the possibility within the unknown.

It is natural to be afraid that we don't know what we are doing or where we are going; but we do know where we are going - forward.

Forward is good! It is better than stagnating or drowning in the swamp. So be brave, and boldly go forward. Courage does not mean that you are without fear, courage means you move forward with your fear with you.

Deluxe Geomancy Reading

July 2 1 Fairy Card Draw

Book Spotlight: The Art and Practice of Geomancy by John Michael Greer

I absolutely love practicing geomancy.  I would describe it as mathematical art.  

What Drew Me In

1. This text is very well organized.  Each step in casting a reading is explicitly laid out and explained.
2. Later chapter suggest advanced magical techniques - such as creating magical sigils with the geomancy figures.  
3. I had the opportunity to take a class from Mr. Greer himself, his book is a thorough as his in person demonstration.  

How I Think I Can Apply It Magically

1. When do I not apply this magically?  This is my favorite resource book I have ever owned.
2. I use this nearly every day in my daily divination studies.

If you'd like to see one of my Geomancy castings, I posted a Deluxe Geomancy Reading here on this blog.

Deluxe Geomancy Reading

Geomancy is a form of astrological divination that was popular in the Renaissance but lost popularity in later eras.  The Golden Dawn breathed some life back into the practice and it is enjoying a fringe resurgence in modern times largely thanks to author John Michael Greer.  I had the privileged of learning Geomancy from Mr. Greer himself.

This is a Deluxe Geomancy reading to be applied for Tuesday, July 10, 2018.  Key figures for Tuesday are Acquisitio, Puer, Conjunctio, and Via. These figures suggest that Monday will bring in some extra money to you. It would be worth your while to donate some of it to a favorite charity, but you should consider spending most of it on yourself. To do so will recharge you batteries and uplift your spirits. Conjunctio suggests that you head to your favorite restaurant! You don't need a partner for that though. Via the Vila suggests that this date be for you alone.

What kind of divination do you like to practice?

Book Spotlight: Your Money Or Your Life by Vicki Robin

Vicki Robin has composed a non-magical book that I think works magic. 

What Drew Me In

1. Actually charting my money on a daily basis was enlightening.  I say that healthy food is important to me and yet why was I spending so much money on fast food that I don't even like to eat?  It gave the expression "food for thought" a whole new level of meaning.
2. I've never been a fan of budgeting, it didn't really work for me.  This book offered me the idea to graph my expenses and income so I can see where I've been and make a reasonable hypothesis on where I might be going.
3. There is a whole lot of financial hope in this book - I don't know anyone who wouldn't appreciate that.

How I Think I Can Apply It Magically

1. What is a magic spell but a detail plan with a dash of faith?  If you're looking for a money spell a charm from the Renaissance may not work, but this book lays out a practical and doable plan.
2. Many of the antidotes from people describe their financial transformations as "magical."  I believe that they are.
3. This addresses a bit of the emotional and spiritual aspects attached to money.  Magic isn't just about practicality, it also is very much about feelings and faith.

Have you ever done money magic?  What worked for you?
