Tarot Talk: The Flow of Energy (Part One)

-
Once consulted, the tarot reader sets out on a spiritual journey which many believe allows them to gather conclusive and detailed information concerning their client.
According to Plato's definition of intuition, as the knowledge of a pre-existing truth, the tarot reader could be viewed as using their gift of intuition to pick out truths in a way that most people are unable to do or are unaware of their ability to do so.
It is at this point that the reader's energy flows into the cards and they are directed to those cards which will play a relevant role in interpreting the situations and feelings of their client.
At times, the reader may feel that they have been directed to stop shuffling and focus on a particular card or set of cards which they then use as the basis of their reading.
There are certain cards with a universal identification, such as the Death card. For most people, this card would simply denote the death of a person. On closer assessment, however, the card can be interpreted very differently, depending on the situation.
Other meanings could include a notable change within life, or a 'death' of a previous way of life or living.
The intuition felt by the reader does not only indicate to us that a certain situation is dangerous, or that someone is untrustworthy, but also allows us to determine whether a client's situation or circumstances are positive or negative.
Therefore, when drawn to the 'death' card, it may be interpreted very differently from what was expected.
The flow of energy felt by the reader around the card will aid interpretation.

Brexit Briefing: Florence.

artycelia   I am quite dreading the speech in Florence on Friday. I hope Boris is gagged and chained while Mrs May spouts another load of silly meaningless slogans and soundbites. ' We will survive and thrive following our departure from the European Union ' 'We will continue to have a close relationship with our European neighbours.' ' We will be enjoying new trade deals outside of the EU ' 'We are stuffed, can we call the whole thing off?' Boris wriggling out of his chains yelling, 'bus, BUS, what about the BUS? ' Ho hum. I am sure the EU are shaking in their shoes. What an embarrassing mess we have gotten ourselves into.

This is a painting of, erm, the cancerous tumour that I found in my breast in 2021. It's gone now. I felt much better after the painting was completed, sort of serene. Despite the brutal treatment that is chemotherapy, I have depicted the cancer as drifting away, parts of you do drift away while going through treatment, and some parts return while others do not. That's how I feel anyway. I moved house last year. My rented house was too big with just me in it. It was fine when occupied with my daughters, a grand-daughter, a grand-daughter's dad and my lovely dog, but people grow and need to move on. My dog reached the end of his road. The day I lost him was the saddest day of my life. I know I probably shouldn't say that but he was deep in my heart and I loved him unconditionally. I won't ever get another dog, that 'going to sleep' business is a train wreck, one that you are watching and also feel responsible for, even though you are not. I am now living with...

Gallery Today: Gaza

  The first painting is my interpretation of a Miro. The second painting is my interpretation of the war in Gaza, based on a painting by Fernand Leger c 1927. It's maybe easier to put one's thoughts into a painting, in this one, the flag of Israel bleeds into Palestine, land is stolen, territory is taken, people are annihilated. I find it horribly, well horrible, that Netanayu seems to be following in the footsteps of the very person who set out to destroy his people. I just cannot understand how the world can step aside and allow this genocide. Sometimes I just feel the need to paint a picture.
