Oracle cards a gift of guidance from the Divine/God/ALL that IS

*Mirmagical* messages come through in many ways......

Goddess: Green Tara

Some of you may know that I have been working on a Goddess series since January.
My aim was to create 35 small paintings for our Annual Open Studio on December 7 and later create an oracle deck with them.

However, in June-after we returned from our health trip to Mexico... I began to "lose steam"... instead of taking 7 to 10 days, my Goddesses were taking 20 to 30 days to get finished and I knew I would not meet my goal.

I struggled through my summer Goddesses ... but the fact was undeniable that every time I "pulled" a card from my deck to figure out which Goddess to draw next... there seemed to be a message tailored made for me. Sergio was amazed at how accurate the cards were, how appropriate for each life situation/moment we were in....

Sergio asked me if he could pull cards out of the deck and so began the messages for both of us.

Now, I have spent the last two weeks working on a Goddess that just did not seem to "work". So I finally decided that with the end of summer.... I was going to take a "break" from the Goddesses. I gave myself permission to just draw anything...

I envisioned something like this one pictured here, done in pen and ink or abstracted figures .... instead, I found myself drawing a fairy.


We have been watching a TV show on Netflix about Fairy tales called: "Once Upon a Time"...we are both loving it-and I thought *that* was where my fairy was coming from. At the same time, I have not been as keen on painting as I have been on watching the show...most times it is the other way around and Sergio has to spend time catching me up on all that I miss from having my nose stuck in my painting.... but, not lately.

You see, lately, I have been feeling restless....
Sergio is beginning another school year as a teacher's assistant. This year he did not even bother to apply for teaching jobs- our artistic lives are busy enough and we are doing "ok" financially with his assistant's salary plus all our art income...BUT of course...we DREAM about him not having to do

the assistant bit.

We DREAM about traveling all over the world exhibiting our ART, selling our artwork, and teaching workshops too.
We dream... but we have responsibilities: our son, health insurance, our home, our kitties... so we go on with the day to day...and we dream....

For four days, I kept coming back to that same piece of paper and working on that fairy; I really had no idea why she was appearing.
Each day I thought "I will pick up some ink and work into that... there will be birds and weird images and .... " 
Well, every evening when it is my time to paint-- I look at her and add a bit here and there.
Not much really. Just playing. But still, she remains on the paper. Layers of pencil and paint. And she is still there. No background, just her. I have not known why... but nothing else has come to mind.. so I keep playing.... until

Last night (while I am in the kitchen grabbing a midnight snack) this was our exchange:

Sergio: "Claudia, what Goddess is this that you are working on?"
me: "She is not a Goddess. I am taking a break from them. I have no idea what that is; I am going to take ink and work into her... adding figures playfully as I have done in the past  (like this one on the right).
Sergio: What? Have you forgotten about your goal? Have you forgotten about your plans for a 35 card oracle deck?"
me: : *sigh* "awlrigth.... go ahead and pull a card from the deck...."
moments later Sergio calls out excitedly... look what I pulled!

Sergio: excitedly yelled from the next room:
"Claudia!! She is Aine, Queen of the Fairies!..and he continued (reading from  Doreen Virtue's Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards)

 

Take a risk, and put your heart's true desire into action!

Procrastinating about your dreams won't make them go away, Neither will it make them happen. Indecision is the death of the soul's burning passion to improve, grow, and learn. Don't worry about making a wrong decision. Instead, worry about making no decision at all!

Then take time to pray, meditate, investigate, research, go on nature walks and make your decision.

Once made, the universal energies will immediately support your decision, and doors will successively open as if by magic. The magic, you see, is that you've set your mind to accomplish something. And this intention is what sets you on your magical journey. Trust that the universe will support you in all ways. Trust that your intention is clear and right for you. And then take a leap of faith and jump fully and squarely into the midst of putting your dreams into action. Don't hesitate or delay a moment longer.

About Aine: Aine is a powerful Celtic goddess and fairy queen who gave birth to incarnated fairies from her romances with mortal men. Aine is revered in Ireland for helping to grow crops and oversee animals. You can call upon Aine when you need additional guidance and the courage to take risks.

Aine, Queen of the Fairies, in progress....

 

Amazing, isn't it?.... with one card I am reminded of the importance and value of "oracle cards" which are utilized in many spiritual paths... for example, I see it often in the Christian path as many people will pull daily scripture verses that speak to them for a particular day or situation.

 

I feel honored to have been called to create a set of *oracle cards.* These helpful sacred gifts that are tools for YOU to reach within and up and above to ALL that IS/God/the Divine...   a path/a key a tool for communication from Spirit to us.

 

What a wonderful gift has been given to us...to YOU! It is available to each and everyone of us for guidance, encouragement and affirmation!

 

We are blessed and now must begin to plan for action.

Active intention for manifestation of what is meant to be.....

 

We pray for clear direction in YOUr journey as well! Please share your own experiences in the comments or on our FB page... we would love to support you in manifesting your intentions too!

 

Love & light always,

Claudia
