Elenin, the Bringer of Destruction?

I have been meaning to update my Wiccan blog. A lot of things have been happening lately that I wanted to share but they just didn't seem important enough until I read about Elenin. I've been fascinated about astronomy since I was a kid so I knew I just had to find out more about it.

When I googled about it, almost 2 million searches popped. Woah! This must really be serious!

How to Use Everyday Tarot Spreads

I've been using tarot cards for several years now. I've used numerous spreads before, some more than others, depending on the current concerns that need to be addressed. On this particular post, I want to share with you how you can use the everyday spreads. Everyday spreads are different from relationship spreads, revelation spreads and destiny spreads,which I will discuss separately on subsequent posts.

Lunar Eclipse and Casting Spells

We here in the Philippines will have the pleasure of seeing a spectacular astronomical event when one of two total lunar eclipses start to happen in less than an hour, specifically at 1:23 am on Thursday, June 16, 2011 and will end at 7:02 am on the same day. This is a wonderful time for all wizards and witches alike to cast their spells and use the energy of this micro month event when we get to see all the moon's phases in a period of a few hours.

Dream Interpretation: Class Performance

It's been a while since I last recorded my dreams. It's very typical of me to just forget about them after I wake up. However, these last couple of days, my dreams have had a common theme: I was always with my old elementary classmates and we were always on the verge of performing something for the class. But this artistic performance has never materialized. Just before we were about to go on stage, I always ended up waking up.

Boracay Tarot Card Reading: Six of Swords

I haven't been writing here for a long while now because since March 25, I have been spending my summer vacation / soul searching journey on this beautiful island of Boracay. I'm on my 19th day today and this whole journey will end come April 26. But until then, I am here to relax, enjoy myself and try to look deeper into my heart and soul.

Prior to today, I was just doing beach stuff day in and day out. When I ran out of new things to do since I must've probably already done all the things one can do in Boracay, I thought, why not do this soul searching journey for real. But where to start? I am generally happy and content. I am typically grateful for all the blessings I'm continuously being showered with. So I went about my day and that's when it hit me and tears just started to fall.

You see, apart from past hurts, in the midst of all this, I have some recent, deep and painful secrets that I won't anymore divulge in here. This negativity has been affecting my happiness levels for quite a while now. Even when I focus on the good things in my life right now, they're like ghosts that just keep on coming back and haunting me. Then I remembered that I brought my tarot cards with me. I think it's about time that I should start formally communicating with my spirit guides and guardian angels once again.

Nursing Scrubs: Lessons Learned from Color Meanings

As I was studying the meaning of colors and how it can influence our emotions, the actions that we do, how we respond to various people and situations, I thought about the colors of uniform in some of our service-oriented industries. Take for example the color of nursing scrubs nurses use in hospitals and clinics before and how their kind has evolved over time. Before, I used to remember only seeing one color of nursing scrubs and it was white, just like a doctor's medical coat. These days, I have seen blue, pink, green, purple nursing scrubs and this makes my visits to hospitals and clinics a lot better and literally colorful.

Supermoon Simply Irresistible Spell

Today, March 19, 2011, we'll be having a full moon. But aside from that, the full moon also occurs at the same time as the moon's perigee (the moon's closest point to our planet). Hence, it is termed as SUPERMOON which happens every 18 years. At the moon's perigee, there will only be a distance of 356,575km (221,575 miles) between the Earth and the moon. During the moon's apogee on March 6, the distance between the two was 406,583km (252,639 miles). So you can imagine why the moon will appear 14% bigger tonight! Let's hope the skies will be clear so we can cast a spell perfect for this occasion.

Many people are speculating that this Supermoon is the cause for Japan's quake and tsunami. However, NASA experts and astronomers are debunking these speculative theories. The most that it can do is bring extra low and high tides at certain locations. But it doesn't really pose any threat as devastating as what happened in Japan (God bless the Japanese race!).

Anyway, since the Supermoon is believed by witches to bring greater power to spells, I chose to share with you a spell about being irresistible. This can work as your lucky charm when you want to date someone, when you want to charm your boss or when you want to be irresistible to a certain person. Or you can do any full moon spells I have already shared in the past. It's up to you. It is my deep hope that this spell will help you out should you need it.

The Ten of Wands are Stopping Me!

I was about to do my morning ritual (workout+ watch old DVD movie + play guitar + play drums + videoke + 1st meal of the day + shower then work) when I almost forgot to do a tarot reading. You see, last week, I let go of a VA job that I've been doing for a long time. I kept one part time VA job since I liked my tasks there and then I just went on investing in small ventures and mostly resting. Then at the start of this week, I got offered another VA job which sounded very exciting. I accepted it and since Tuesday, I was doing these 2 VA jobs. Then today, three more offers came in. Knowing myself, I've really been considering doing everything. If Justin Bieber never says never, well I seldom say no to an opportunity. So I replied to these offers and we're now in the process of negotiating further. Then I slept and after eight blissful hours of sleep, I woke up and did this tarot card reading.

When I read tarot cards for myself, I meditate first. I talk to God, to Mama Mary, to all the saints, to my spirit guides and guardian angels. It's like I'm just conversing with them. I tell them about my day, I thank them for all the magnificent blessings they're continuously showering my way, I ask for forgiveness for all my sins... basically I go into this trance-like state and talk to them. Towards the end of every meditation I do, I ask them to give me any message to help me live a better life each and every day so I may better myself and be a source of inspiration and service to other people. I tell them that through the card I'm about to draw, they can tell me their message.

Then I drew Ten of Wands.

Ten of Swords: I drew the card after I quit my job.

I have been thinking about quitting one of my more regular virtual assistant jobs since the start of this year. The flexible schedule, however, kept me from pulling the trigger since I was still enjoying it. Every time I'd do a tarot reading, I'd pick up similar cards that tell me the same thing --- to pursue other things where my heart really is. However, being the kind of person who will do so many things all at the same time, as long as she can do them, I normally won't say no to any opportunity. Then finally, the flexible schedule I was allowed was taken away from me. A part of me was considering going back to regular working hours but it didn't feel quite right. So after drafting two kinds of email replies, I sent the one that says I'm resigning.

The Cups in My Daily Tarot Reading

Unbeknownst to many, an overwhelming sense of sadness, disappointment and depression came over me last Monday and Tuesday. I won't describe the details anymore. Suffice it to say that I had bloodshot eyes and couldn't breathe properly during those 2 dramatic days and the negativity was brought about by resurfacing issues from my past. Thank God for my very patient and understanding hubby I was able to survive it. But really, I've had it! It was time to move on and I don't wanna be imprisoned by them anymore.

So I exercised, I ate right, I stopped myself from smoking (I'm on my 6th cigarette-free day now), I read my Happiness book, I watched Friends reruns and laughed my heart out until the laughter felt genuine and real. Wednesday night came and while Peter and I were hanging out at our lanai, a neighbor of ours dropped by, we had a chat, and I felt genuinely happy for his visit. Then I remembered the card I picked out that afternoon when I did my tarot reading: Eight of Cups


It was only until after I reflected on its meaning that I realized how apt the card was with my current situation.
