"Who would have thought, this pandemic has bought so much magic & wonder into my life!"
When March was present I may have fallen down a huge rabbit hole as I began to research witches after listening to my favourite podcast ladies speak about the Salem Witch Trials.
(Thanks to Ladies & Tangents for piquing my curiosity)
Anyway, I fell in love with ideas created within white witchcraft like divinity tools, meanings behind colours, deities, spells etc. I became a little obsessed and the next thing I knew, I was buying crystals, incense, oils, tarot cards... The list doesn't end!
I began my spiritual journey, I discovered just how intuitive I truly am and my life now feels all the more magical.
But Ruby... If you started this journey in March, why now only speak about it?
Well, I'm glad you asked inner monologue!
Recently I did a tarot card reading. I have been working my butt off this year, focusing on what I can bring into the world and building my social media empire and I wanted guidance to know if I was on the right track.
I received three cards, two highlighted the fact that I was on the right track and I am in the best place I could possibly be right now, which is amazing!
But, to every positive, there has to be a negative. The third card told me that I would have to break away from somebody special in my life, and although this thought makes me a little upset, I know that some people are just a part of the journey and don't stay for the destination.
Overall, I was happy with these results, so I decided to ask the cards about my love life... A single romantic is a bit of a rollercoaster so guidance is what I needed.
Two cards were pulled and I can tell you right now, upon first glance, I was a little worried.
I pulled The Devil & The Hierophant Reversed, Two of the major arcana cards. In my deck by Mystic Mondays, The Devil card represents addiction, enslavement & fears... Ter-ri-FYING!
An excerpt from The Devil card description:
"The Devil alludes to your negative behaviours & patterns that restrain you from moving forward in your life. These are often illusions of imprisonment where you feel shackled to your problems, however, you have the choice to break free or walk away at any point in time."
My first thought after reading the description was "What the hell does this mean?"
So, I grabbed my pendulum, bought up a pendulum board on my phone and started asking questions to try and decipher the answer.
After many, no's & maybe's, I finally received a yes, a yes to "You need to put you, your goals & your work first."
The cards were telling me what I knew but needed to hear.
I am someone who loves, love. I fall in love with someone new each day and for a second, I imagine what life would be like with that person. I am imprisoned by my mind getting lost in what if's, hoping that Mr right will show up soon, but, what I need to remember is, you don't wait around for Mr right, cause if you do that, you end up with Mr wrong by accident... Oops!
My cards were telling me to love myself, break free from the waiting game and focus on making my dreams, goals & plans a reality... Or for short, they were saying...
"Honey, You don't need a man!"
Now, on to The Hierophant Reversed. I felt like I immediately knew the meaning behind this card but I double-checked with my pendulum.
"Let that rebellion roar! You are breaking free from the norm & challenging the status quo."
I think that excerpt is enough to tell you what the cards were saying to me.
"No, you don't need to be married before your thirty, buying a house and having children!"
I am turning 22 this year, thirty is far off but I'm not going to lie, some nights I think "girl you need to find someone soon before it's too late!"
Thank you cards for reminding me that you don't need to adhere to those stereotypical rules.
So all in all, a very empowering pull.
But, I had one more question to ask.
In witchcraft, gods & goddesses can be called upon to be present in answering questions that relate to a particular topic, and as I have a special spot in my heart for Venus & Aphrodite, the Roman & Greek Goddess's of love, I asked to see if one of them were present, assisting me with my questions.
The Pendulum, said yes.
"Is Venus the one here with me now?" I asked.
The Pendulum said no.
"Is Aphrodite the one here with me now?"
The Pendulum said YES!
My heart still races and is filled with joy every time I think about this moment. I was in the presence of a powerful, beautiful deity, who I admire greatly.
To some, this blog is going to sound like I've gone insane, but to others, I hope this write up gives you a spark and magical feeling.
