February's Reading

what will it hold for us?

Hello Dear Friend,

How are you? Well, I hope. It’s time for the monthly community Tarot reading. Apologies, hmmm, I seem to be saying that a lot lately, this is a couple of days late. I must admit to having a wobble, the inner critic in my head was having a field day with my self-confidence. But I have sent the negative voices to their room without any tv or treats and normal service will now be resumed.

Thank you for your patience.

I recommend that you listen to this missive, especially for the meditations and visualization exercises. If you wish to repeat them as suggested they can be found at the following time checks:

1. Water Chalice Card visualization is at

2. Fear Card meditation is at

3. Dormant Aspects visualization is at

Are you ready? Then I will dive right in…

This month’s spread

For this month I am using a different set of cards, the *Dragon Wisdom Oracle cards by Christine Arana Fader. It is a 43-card deck and features some stunning artwork. So without further ado, let’s get to it…

The Cards

Card 1 - What do I need to Embrace - Merlin

Merlin wants to remind you that the blood of your ancestors flows in your veins, uniting you. Bring the magic of your ancestors back into your life. He wants to remind you that the mightiest tools wielded by a sorcerer or a priestess are words.

Words can destroy people and build them up.

Recognize this, and from now on use your words as tools of love and light. Merlin wishes to teach you that dragons will bring magic into your life and enhance the magical power you carry within you.

Card 2 - What do I need to Accept - Water Chalice

Alba, the queen of all the dragons, is white as snow and her scales are set with thousands of sparkling diamonds. She is the guardian of the four Holy Chalices and is inviting you to take part in a baptism in the element of water.

The baptism is a rite, a rebirth, and a ritual cleansing, the threshold from the old way to a new way of being.

The book has a visualization, please feel free to do any or all of the following:

Prepare yourself for this ritual by washing and dressing in white clothing and prepare your room: light several candles and play some pleasant music. Make yourself comfortable, lay the card, or picture the card laying on your heart, and close your eyes.

Now visualize yourself standing before the great chalice. Three steps lead up to the water chalice but take your time. visualize laying aside your clothing, then mount the three steps and climb into the chalice.

Dive in and let yourself sink deep inside. Water is the cradle of life. Wash yourself clean of all your limitations. Water is the fullness of all possibilities. Feel the holy water of the chalice on your skin, how it carries and surrounds you. You sink to the floor of the chalice, where you let go of the unbeliever within you. Your clear intent is sufficient, but strengthen it with your inner voice: ‘I am letting go of the unbeliever within me, right here, right now.’

Repeat those words several times if you need to.

Now rise to the surface of the water chalice, filled with a new awareness.

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

Make those words your mantra for the rest of your life.

I hope that you did the visualization and that it gave you strength and hope for the future.

Card 3 - What do I need to Let Go - Fear

I love this card, just saying, he is so fierce, yet so protective looking in his field of flowers.

The red fire dragon would like to teach you that feeling and sensing are forms of intuitive knowledge. If your emotions are blocked or lie buried by past suffering, pain, abuse, or fears, access to your inner wisdom will also be obstructed.

Ask the red fire dragon to free you from all the negative experiences, and their crystalline structures within you. These structures are often located in your back, causing pain and rigidity, and can disturb the energy flow into your organs.

This card also has a meditation:

Light at least one white candle and play some calming instrumental music. Close your eyes and use your inner voice to summon the old red fire dragon to come to you in the room. Ask it for power over the element of fire.

Now, mount its back, and fly with it into the depths of the earth. Open all your channels and slip through the magma, the lifeblood of Lady Gaia: here you will experience deep cleaning at every level. All the chains keeping your power in check must yield to this fire: all that constraints your free will burns.

All that equals fear dissolves, and every doubt within you dies.

Surrender to the magma and feel the good it does to your body, how it relaxes you. See how the magma supports and holds you, and how you are becoming one with the magma as it spreads throughout you, burning away all the now redundant crystalline structures.

Feel how a new invigorating energy, a liberating energy, is manifesting itself within you. The dragon has brought you into the heart of the Great Mother, who carries and nourishes you each day. Feel the great love of Lady Gaia, let it flood through you, and bathe in the red-hot magma.

The old red fire dragon then places you on its back and returns you to your room. Now take a deep breath and open your eyes.

Right here and now, say the following sentence out loud three times:

‘May every living thing be happy and free of fear.’

‘May every living thing be happy and free of fear.’

‘May every living thing be happy and free of fear.’

May this sentence be with you until the end of days.

The book recommends that you perform this meditation seven times on successive days, always at the same time.

Jumper Card - Dormant Aspects

This card jumped out whilst I was shuffling the deck, so it obviously wanted its message to be heard too.

The guidebook says that we all have important, light-filled aspects of ourselves that lie dormant within us. Now is the time to awaken one of these. If you draw this card, the violet dragon wishes to help you awaken this particular part of you, so try to sense deep in your heart which aspect wants to awaken. Close your eyes and sense the part of you that stirs: your inner financial advisor, perhaps, who wishes to bring you to a place of abundance, your inner healer, your inner artist, or your inner child. Take a moment to sense what is in your heart.

When you have recognized what is there, do the following exercise:

Visualize the violet dragon as it looks at you with its yellow eyes, which are shining sublimely. Stand before the dragon and ask it to transform everything that is preventing the dormant aspect within you from awakening. The dragon opens its mouth and breathes out violet flames, engulfing you completely.

Its energy flows through you.

In your mind’s eye, see how the veils that obstruct your awakening are burning and how everything is becoming clearer.

Imagine the sleeping part of you as a golden sculpture with closed eyes, like a statue that bears your face.

Say out loud in a firm voice ‘The sleeper has awakened.’

In your mind’s eye, see how the statue opens its eyes and begins to move, melding with you completely.

Take a moment to become aware of breathing in and out, then thank the violet dragon, and take your leave.

Sense your body and come back gently, sending golden light from bottom to top through your spine. When you reach the last vertebra, take a deep breath and open your eyes in the here and now.

The book recommends that you repeat this exercise on seven successive days.

Summary

Wow, is it me, or are those some powerful cards for February?

To recap:

1. Embrace the fact that your words wield power and try to use them for good.

2. Accept the rebirth and allow it to give you strength and hope for the future.

3. Let go of your fears, they no longer need to hold you back, step fully into your power and wisdom.

4. Search within yourself for the dormant aspects which are ready to be awakened.

As ever these are just my ramblings and are not set in stone, take what you need from the reading and use it. If the cards resonate with you in a different way, go with it. Your heart and soul know what is best for you. Follow the nudges and messages from Spirit and the Angels, and always remember, the more you pay attention, the more you will see and feel.

I will be back on Sunday with my usual letter to you dear friend, until next time, as ever, may your angels and guides watch over you and protect you until we meet again.

Love and Light,

Tracy
