The Tarot of Sam

Thursday, June 29, 2023: Today I pulled the Queen of Wands. This queen is a warrior. She’s powerful and creative and fair. I’m invoking Justice.

Tuesday, June 27, 2023: It’s been so much lately. I have been trying to double and triple task things. And, some people I love so much are hurting and I’m trying to be there for them. I pulled the Ten of Wands today. I’m thinking of Star Wars and when Luke is attacking the Death Star. “Stay on target. Stay on target!” -- As always when I speak of life, love and Tarot I speak only for myself.  The 10 of Wands is from The Modern Love Tarot, by Ethony The “Relax The Hold of Darkness and Be At Cause” oracle card is from The Sacred Rebels Oracle, by Anna Fairchild, Artwork by Autumn Skye

Saturday, June 24, 2023: Today I pulled the Six of Cups. This card makes me think of Romantic Love, Nostalgic Love and all the other shapes love takes and not only who we love but how we love differently and how love flows and changes from person to person and over time. Love is a shapeshifter. It’s usually not something we will. It’s more mysterious than that. -- As always when I speak of life, love and Tarot I speak only for myself.  The Six of Cups is from The Modern Love Tarot, by Ethony The “Beyond The Mind, The Heart Beats” oracle card is from The Sacred Rebels Oracle, by Anna Fairchild, Artwork by Autumn Skye

Tuesday, June 20, 2023: The Moon reveals what the High Priestess conceals. At the beginning of the Fool’s journey the High Priestess sets the Fool onto the path of self discovery. The Fool is shown the ways of nature and the way of grace and eventually is given harder trials culminating in the destruction of the Tower and the reconstruction of the Star. Then comes the Moon, the journey within, because that’s where the answer is. That’s the only place you can see the real you. These are my cards today. -- As always when I speak of life, love and Tarot I speak only for myself.  The Moon is from The Modern Love Tarot, by Ethony The “Seeing The True You” oracle card is from The Sacred Rebels Oracle, by Anna Fairchild, Artwork by Autumn Skye

Sunday, June 18, 2023: Moving through life with elegance, intention and integrity. That to me is the definition of grace. I see that in the card I pulled today, the Eight of Pentacles. It is a card of grounded intention. This card knows what it wants. I’m invoking its trump card, Strength. This card to me is all about being in alignment of body, mind and spirit. That too is grace. -- As always when I speak of life, love and Tarot I speak only for myself.  The Eight of Pentacles is from The Modern Love Tarot, by Ethony Strength is from The Modern Witch Tarot Deck by Lisa Sterle.

Saturday, June 10, 2023: This morning I drew the Star. The Star comes after the falling of the Tower. It is a card of authenticity and rebuilding.

Friday, June 9, 2023: This morning I pulled two of Wands. I read all twos as decision points, this one I read as a portal. We can choose to go through the portal or not. I’m invoking the Star.

Wednesday, June 7, 2023: Today is the three of Swords. It is the loss of something or someone precious. Perhaps it is the loss of a dream or a vision that you had for yourself.

It’s time. -- As always when I speak of life, love and Tarot I speak only for myself.  The Three of Swords is from The Modern Love Tarot, by Ethony The “Release the Dark Wound, Let Love Live” oracle card is from The Sacred Rebels Oracle, by Anna Fairchild, Artwork by Autumn Skye

Tuesday, June 6, 2023 : There is a dear presence in my life who I did not show up for when I was needed, and that is paining my heart. Because that’s what friends do, they show up for each other.
