Hi Woodwytch,
I think its a great thing you`re doing here! And have been enjoying reading the posts, although it'll probably be a few more sleepless nights before Imake it through all 115 pages!

If you find time Iwould love to know which card you might pull for me, along with your impressive insights! Thank you for the willingness to start this thread and continue donatiing your time and energy to it and Ilook forward hearing more from you!

Managed to draw a couple of cards today and I'll be back to draw more tomorrow beginning with one for Bayy007 on Page 114 ... see you then.

I would be intrigued to see what card you pull for me (if you will) =)
I recently just started getting into this stuff, so I'm interested to see what you have to say

edit on 03/10/2012 by Bayy007 because: spelling =P

Hey there Bayy007 ... you say that you're 'just getting into this stuff' well let me congratulate you for embarking on a journey that will fill you with wonder ... one word of personal advise that I will offer for you to carry with you on your journey ... 'ALWAYS' keep one foot on the ground ... however spiritually aware you become never allow yourself to lose touch with the everyday ... to appreciate the spiritual you need to acknowledge the mundane ... balance is essential to the journey (there can be no light without the shadow to illuminate nor shadow to be caste without the light ... no spiritual without the mundane nor mundane without the spiritual) ... sometimes we forget this when we first set-out and think that we have to throw ourselves in at the deep end to feel it all 'now' ... but by doing that we miss so much ... stroll along the path and take in the detail of the scenery ... don't run and see it only as a blur ... patience is your friend on this path ... stay grounded and protected at all times. If you ever have any questions feel free to give me a shout


The Card Drawn Is - ACE of CUPS




As is true in most cases I feel you have come to this path because of a difficult time in your life and now you should know that you are moving away from this phase now into a calmer time ... if the problem was a longstanding situation then you have either confronted it now and you are ready to move forward or you are preparing yourself to confront it (literally or emotionally) ... you'll be surprised how much better you feel once it's done and the burden is lifted.

Like the salmon in the image of this card you probably feel like you have always had to battle / struggle to achieve it never came easy and was never handed to you willingly ... but this is a good thing because it has made you the strong person you are and it is this that has brought you to this place where you find yourself 'waking' ... the veil is being lifted from your eyes and you are beginning to see things in full colour ... it can sometimes be a little scary to begin with but you'll soon get used to the changes and they become like a second skin ... a new you.

In this instance I feel this card is referring to the beginning of a new and deepening relationship with yourself ... your energy is buzzing and there is a creative inspiration around you ... this is the time to open yourself up to the many nurturing relationships around you ... not just with people but maybe your spirit guide ... certainly nature and the elements ... this card represents the Grail and it brings the inspiration of the Goddess ... she brings the 'water of life' that retain the ancient wisdom ready to complete your awakening ... I'm so excited for you but remember ... never try to force it ... let it all unfold at it's own pace.

Hey there duckyfresh thanks for stopping by and rquesting a card ... let's see if it helps your confusion shall we ?


The Card Drawn Is - PRINCESS of CUPS




Well I feel a lot of confusion around you at the moment ... the card tells me that by nature you are a sensitive and loyal person but I also feel a lot of anger and frustration inside you bubbling away ... ideally you should go out into some wild place and release a primal scream ... but if this is not possible then we need to look at things a little closer ... whatever the situation(s) is/are I feel you are trying your best but feel vunerable so instead of acting with awareness and integrity you are bottling it up and it has turned to anger like a bottle of fermenting wine ready to pop it's cork and explode ... now the fact that you are not likely to be the kind of person to explode externally means that the explosion will be internal ... and this can make you physically ill or cause psychological damage ... so it clearly needs to be released in a better way ... and the best way to start this process is to stop seeing yourself as the martyr who has been victimized ... think about this for a moment ... I bet you hadn't even realized this had happened ! As soon as you realize and acknowledge what has happened at an internal level it will begin to settle and heal ... your attitudes and priorities will begin to change and you'll finally see your way forward and beyond the confusing situation(s).

Once the confusion / anger subsides you will find an opportunity to follow your dreams ... maybe the beginning of a new project or even a change of lifestyle ... this card often heralds good news including the potential news of a new soul in the world ... besides all that I feel that you are a natural dreamer and with the right self-discipline I feel you have the potential to be a visionary ... your loyalty ... devotion ... and sense of fair play mark you out as an individual who is tempered by a profound understanding of the 'Otherworld' if you so chose to develop that ability there would be many who could gain from your innate gift. Don't get angry ... get positive.

Hey there Caver78 long time no type ... we had the first snow of the year on Friday but it didn't hang around too long ... feels like there'll be more to come though this winter.

If you want a card just give me a shout

Woody

This is interesting.. if you wouldn't mind I'd love a card read for me
Thanks

BTW, I've usually gotten some 'bad' cards in the past when some people have done this for me, so no need to spare feelings
Oh, and I think its comendable that you are doing this thread for everyone!

I'd love a tarot card if you wouldn't mind.

Howdy, Woody!

My circumstances have recently changed. If you have the chance I'd love another card.

Gratefully, smylee

It's been a while since the last reading and it was very accurate. Wouldnt mind a new one since there are some changes already/soon

Thank you

Woody thanks for the shout out! We're sitting out the storm here and your thread is such a bright spot!
I do need a card, but can wait till everyone else has a turn. The offer was much appreciated and needed.

When you have time I would greatly appreciate it if you could draw a card for me. I seem to be realizing more and more lately that I've lost some spiritual connections I once had and am hoping you can provide some insight.

Hey there shortchop79 ... you might be surprised to hear that many 'spiritually awake' people have been feeling like they are traversing a fallow period ... including myself ... because of the health issues I am experiencing at the moment I have been quite remiss with my Pagan Practices and I plan to use this Samhain (All Hallows'een) tonight, to reboot my spiritual energy ... especially as we are still in the Hunter's Moon phase too ... like me you have probably also felt like something important is about to happen but you can't put your finger on what it will be ... this seems to be the 'norm' at the moment ... when you have been practicing as long as I have you will begin to see how these cycles work and realize that the 'fallow' times are as important as the 'active' times because they are the recharging preludes to the next phase (new chapter) in your life and/or development so just learn to accept them and remain alert to synchronistic signs at these times.


The Card Drawn Is - 3 of WANDS




Well as I expected there is a strong sense that you are already (or very soon will be) moving away from the fallow time that has left you spiritually lethargic into a brighter phase with more clarity and vision (like the sun coming out on a cloudy day) ... my 'inner-sense' is also showing me that where there has been imbalance in your life you will find equilibrium replacing that energy ... look for the path and you will see the way.

Just as the image in this card shows ... the path is laid out before you and the wands in bud show that this is the beginning of a new phase ... this card shows that any hard work (literally or spiritually) will begin to bear fruit ... it also heralds a time for good communication so use the time to discuss anything of importance as this is the right time to make any longterm plans or start acting on your dreams / ambitions ... don't allow this opportunity to slip through your fingers ... you will soon be feeling the nourishment from a spiritual source bringing you a sense of inner-security ... as your goals and desires can be reached you will feel your life getting richer with fulfilment and completion and your inner-energy will inspire others to start out on their own path of discovery.

OOPS !!!

Hi Woodwytch,

I've just created an ATS account, and since I've been checking in regularly on this thread, why not make my first post here?!

If you possibly could, I'd like a card drawn please? I feel like I'm posting this at a time when I could really use some sort of explanation/direction for my life at the minute, feeling a bit lost!

Thanks for your time!

edit on 23-10-2012 by GillyweedFan because: Altering a sentence

Hey there Gillyweedfan ... and welcome to ATS ... whenever people say they have either joined ATS to post on this thread ... or have joined and decided to make their first post on my thread I feel so honoured and humbled ... thank-you so much ... let's see if your card can give you some direction and stop you feeling lost.


The Card Drawn Is - 10 of PENTACLES




The first thing I am feeling from you is tiredness and apathy ... you seem preoccupied with the material world and you are missing some of the more important stuff ... this is why you feel lost your head and your heart are giving you mixed messages ... you need to be still for a moment and consider the things that are 'truly' important in life ... acquisitions come and go ... but there is a constant in your life who is loyal through all and sometimes you miss that or don't show the necessary appreciation ... maybe I'm wrong and it is someone in your life who treats you this way and you feel a little worthless ... whichever way it is you need to turn within and take some time for introspection where you can unearth the 'gold' hidden deep within your self.

For some this card can indicate the receipt of a legacy or the creation of one ... remember a 'legacy' can come in many forms ... this card is here to remind you that even the most difficult of circumstances can hide hidden benefits ... in fact it's true to say that our most valuable lessons are learned during our most difficult experiences ... as you find yourself coming out the other side you will get the chance to count your blessings and you might be surprised to find how many there are ... this card is about family and home ... but remember ... family does not have to be blood related and home is more than bricks and mortar ... the message here is step back and see the bigger picture ... you are feeling lost because you are looking too close ... one of my favourite quotes;

'Nothing in life is ever black and white ... there is the full spectrum of the rainbow to be explored' ! (Berith Woodwytch - 1989).

Hey there JustSirens and welcome to you too ... wow, in the whole 115 pages there have been a handful of new members who chose to start their ATS posts here and now we have 2 in a row ... thank-you for the priviledge and I'm more than happy to draw you a card.


The Card Drawn Is - 2 of PENTACLES




It's interesting and probably a sign of the chaotic times we live in but I feel a similar energy around you as the energy around the previous poster ... insomuch that you have lost sight of the blessings you have to count as they have become blurred against the mundane chatter of everyday life ... I feel there have been rough patches in your life recently (possibly to do with delays/breaks in work) ... as is shown in the sinking ship and stormy seas in the background image of your card but the fact that it is in the background indicates that you are moving away from this now ... and it can become part of your past even quicker once you start to bring balance back into your life.

Life can sometimes get too serious these days and this card is advising a light-hearted playfulness rather than serious constraint ... lighten up a little and you will progress with more ease ... this card often revolves around material wealth and practical matters and there may be more than one thing going on at the moment so like the juggler you might struggle to keep all the factors in the air ... try to see this as invigorating instead of a burden ... it will make it far easier to manage and much more enjoyable.
