Your cards can help you get positive

Try this "Negative to Positive" process. You use your cards face up. Here's how:

1. Sort through your deck until you find a card which portrays your current situation. For example, let's say you have some money worries. If you're using Universal deck, or Rider- Waite, you might choose 5 of Pentacles.

2. Now look through deck again, until you find a card which shows a scene where your money worries are solved. Perhaps you picked 10 of Pentacles. A much more cheerful card!

3. Put 5 of Pentacles on left, and 10 of Pentacles on right, in a straight line. Leave some space between two cards.

4. Now it's time to daydream a little. Pick out several more cards, perhaps two or three, showing a progression from misery of 5 of Pentacles, to security of 10 of Pentacles. Choose whichever cards you please.

5. Lay cards out in a straight line.

6. If you have a little time, you could write a short story, based on cards, of what could happen to you to take you from 5 to 10. The story can be as fantastic (in fantasy sense) as you please.

7. Or, make a sketch of 10 of Pentacles, which you can carry with you as a good luck charm.

8. OK --- you've spent 20 minutes or more with cards. Do you still feel negative? I'm sure your mood has shifted.

Positive energy from cards

Look through your deck, and choose cards which you find most positive from major arcana. You might choose 19 Sun, 7 Chariot, and 21 World.

Put one of cards on desk in front of you. Close your eyes and do some slow, deep breathing for a few minutes until you're completely relaxed.

Open your eyes, and look at card. Pick it up and hold it. You may be able to feel a subtle energy. This is energy of card, as it exists in you.

Try same process with other two cards. Is there a difference in energy? How does energy of one card differ from another?

Next time you have a black mood, pick out one of your 'positive' cards, and just relax with it for a few moments. You'll feel your mood change.

Women especially have lost that wild nature. They complain long and hard about men being so free with their bodily functions, and fact that they are acting like “little boys” all time. Well, ladies, I strongly suggest that you give it a try! Women need to let go of all civilization once in awhile. We have had all wildness bred out of us, and it is unhealthy! Many women feel a yearning as they grow older to dig in earth (gardening), act a little silly or wild from time to time, and yet they are so frightened… what will neighbors (mates, parents, friends, strangers) think?

Ha! Who cares? I would rather be known as that sort of strange lady who lives down block than I would be frustrated and pent-up. No chemical hair dye and plastic surgery for me.

An excellent book about this is “Women Who Run With The Wolves” by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. I have a sort of goal to get every woman on earth to read this book! Cast off your pantyhose and dance… let loose wildness and howl at moon! You have nothing to lose but your ulcers, your unhappiness, your fear and your yearning.

You will gain your personal power, your joy, your connection and your intuitive self.

I hope to bump into you some night, running under full moon… in wild.
