Energy of the Day - 9 of Cups for April 28, 2011


ENERGY OF THE DAY ~ 9 of Cups

From  The Lovers Tarot, by Jane Lyle.  Artist: Oliver Burston.  2003 Eddison Sadd Edition.  This includes the full size paperback companion book.  ISBN # 0-312-30977-5.   First US Edition.

Wishes coming true.  Abundance.  Indulgence (perhaps to the point of excess).  Happiness.

The 9 of Cups is known to tarot readers as “The Wish Card” as it often portends a wish about to manifest.  This is usually the type of wish you’ve long held in your heart & you haven’t shared it with too many other people or you’ve kept it completely to yourself.  The 9 of Cups brings in a whole new energy of happiness, of things falling neatly into place and of everything finding a way to work itself out.  I think we can all breathe a nice long sigh of relief that Mercury Rx is over.  We all need to consciously open ourselves to all the wonderful energy that is now coming in to play.  Don’t forget to make a wish today!

THIS DECK IS FOR SALE.   Retails for $27.95, selling for $19, shipping in domestic US included .  Add $15 for international shipping as the book makes this package heavier than usual.

The deck & companion book are in MINT condition.    Cards are typical tarot-card size.  Card backs are fully reversible.  Reverse meanings are included in the companion book & are referred to as “The Challenge” while upright interpretations are called “The Gift”.    Please help to send this deck to a good home.   This comes in its original box.

Energy of the Day - King of Pentacles, April 27 2011


ENERGY OF THE DAY ~ King of Pentacles

From  The Lovers Tarot, by Jane Lyle.  Artist: Oliver Burston.  2003 Eddison Sadd Edition.  This includes the full size paperback companion book.  ISBN # 0-312-30977-5.   First US Edition.

Patient.  Mature.  Reliable.  Loyal.  Enterprising.
The King of Pentacles is telling me he’s focusing on growth opportunities centered around business and finance.  You need to remain alert so you can identify these opportunities when they come along.  Help may come from an older man who is in business for himself or a banker, perhaps even your father or a father figure.

From the book ~ 

“The King of Pentacles represents a sensual, steadfast individual.  He is often quietly successful, but disinclined to promote himself.  This king sometimes denotes a wealthy man who owns property & has made prudent investments.  His love of tradition, elegance & quality pervades everything in his life.  His feelings are deep & enduring, & his love is not easily won.  He is loyal to his partner & surprisingly sensual.  Possessiveness can be a problem stemming from his profound need for security in all things.  You may need to reassure him frequently, but once he trusts you he will relax.”

THIS DECK IS FOR SALE.   Retails for $27.95, selling for $19, shipping in domestic US included .  Add $15 for international shipping as the book makes this package heavier than usual.

Energy of the Day - EARTH DAY - Queen of Rings (how appropriate!)


ENERGY OF THE DAY (formerly COTD)  ~ Queen of Rings

From  The  Forest Folklore Tarot by Kessia Beverley-Smith. US Games.  2004.  First Edition.

The suit of Rings in this deck corresponds to the traditional suit of Pentacles & the element of Earth.  The Queen of Rings contemplates her golden ring.  I imagine she’s thinking of all the blessings she has in her life for which she is grateful.  The ring/circle is the symbol of the Divine as it has no beginning or end.  It is completion, wholeness, perfect unity.  The Queen of Rings represents a woman who has reached as state of wholeness in some aspect of her life.  She enjoys a real sense of accomplishment.  What have you accomplished recently?  My guides are suggesting that we all need to share our accomplishments with others.   Don’t hide your light under a bush.

From the book ~

“A lady dwarf sits upon a toadstool.  She is assessing the ring in her hands for its value and workmanship.

“This is a card of wealth and intelligence.  A woman with drive and a good business head.  She is popular, sensual, and confident.”

LAST CHANCE TO BUY THIS DECK: Monday I’ll be using a different deck.  I really like the imagery of this one, but the LWB is sometimes off the mark.

THIS DECK IS FOR SALE.   $16, shipping in domestic US included .  Add $10 for international shipping.

The deck is in MINT condition.  Another one that I really liked the artwork, but it never decided to like me.  The LWB has highlighting in yellow pretty much throughout.   Cards are typical tarot-card size.  They are very laminated & won’t wear out anytime soon.  Despite that, they do shuffle well.

Card backs are fully reversible.  Reverse meanings are included in the companion book.    Please help to send this deck to a good home.  

PRICE:  $16 in the US, $26 international.

Energy of the Day - 5 of Cups, Thursday, April 21, 2011


ENERGY OF THE DAY (formerly COTD)  ~ 5 of Cups

From  The  Forest Folklore Tarot by Kessia Beverley-Smith. US Games.  2004.  First Edition.

Loss, but with something left over.  Focusing a bit too much on what’s gone wrong or has been lost instead of looking at what you still have and being grateful for it.  Expressing gratitude for what we have (no matter how little or insignificant it may seem) ends up attracting more blessings into our lives.  Focusing on what’s been lost, mulling it over, dwelling on it – well, that creates more loss, and who wants that, right?  Focus on what you have, be grateful for it and more good things will come in their own good time.

From the book ~

“A naked water nymph stands alone in a dreamy state.  The look on her face is one of sadness.  Five cups float in front of her.

“This is a card of introspection and expression.  It is time to get a little space & contemplate relationships and disagreements with those around you.”

Monday I’ll be using a different deck.  I really like the imagery of this one, but the LWB is sometimes off the mark.

THIS DECK IS FOR SALE.   $16, shipping in domestic US included .  Add $10 for international shipping.

Energy of the Day - 8 of Swords, April 20, 2011


ENERGY OF THE DAY (formerly COTD)  ~ 8 of Swords

From  The  Forest Folklore Tarot by Kessia Beverley-Smith. US Games.  2004.  First Edition.

Feeling trapped, restricted, confined.  Having one’s hands tied behind their back.  Losing all control over oneself or some aspect of the situation.  The inability to see the real reason behind a situation or to sense the true motivations of others.  Today is a “down time.”  It may turn out to be difficult to get anything accomplished today.  Remember to be patient (and to blame it on Mercury Rx!) & go with the flow – even if the flow isn’t moving in the direction you desire. 

From the book ~

“A man is trapped, bound, & blindfolded.   He is surrounded within a ring of swords.  An imp taunts the unfortunate figure.”

“You are totally entrapped, overwhelmed, and frustrated.  You must have patience in accepting the delays and obstructions that are binding you.”

Energy of the Day - The Fool, April 19, 2011


 Greetings!  I hope the current Mercury retrograde period has been kinder to you than it has been to me.  I have not been able to access my blog for the past 2 1/2 weeks.  I kept being told I had to start a new account and that I was nonexistent as a current user.  Prior to that, I had been super busy with work having to make my way through a huge influx of reading orders that came in all together.  Very nice for my bank account, but stressful since I'm only one person.  However, I was/am VERY grateful for the work (and income) and I did manage to make my way through it all.  Today's post is a new feature I began on my Facebook business page and at my Facebook groups:  Magickal Musings and Magickal Musings Tarot.  Many people post their interpretation of a single-tarot card draw and call it the Card of the Day (COTD).  I'm calling my tarot card draw the Energy of the Day because for me, each tarot card has its own very unique energy signature.  When you draw only one card focusing on what the day will bring the energy becomes even stronger since there are no other cards in the spread to act as an influence upon it.  I will be posting my Energy of the Day posts from Facebook also on my blog for those of you who would like to check them out.  They will be posted Monday - Friday.   In the meantime, if you're on Facebook, please click on the link above to "like" my business page there: Magickal-Musings.com.  Once I get to 100 "likes" I will draw 1 fan at random to receive a free single votive enchantment.  That's a $45 value.


ENERGY OF THE DAY (formerly COTD)  ~ The Fool

From  The  Forest Folklore Tarot by Kessia Beverley-Smith. US Games.  2004.  First Edition.

Taking a risk.  Having faith in a higher power.  New opportunities.  Innocence.  Embracing what life has to offer.  Starting on a new venture:  project, job, possible relocation.  New energy is being ushered in with the imminent close of the current Mercury retrograde period.  Open yourself up to receiving the new-ness that is attempting to enter your life. Know this is for your higher good.  Come April 25th (the first week day after Mercury goes direct) it will be a great time to get new projects off the ground.

From the book ~

“A young man and his dog, both full of enthusiasm, set off on a journey.  The youth is busy enjoying the world around him but does not see the imminent danger ahead.  The innocent one.

“Live life to the fullest, enjoy yourself.  Take any new opportunities that open up.”
