The element of earth is still very much uppermost this month as the Tarot moves us upwards through the suit to work with the Five of Disks, subtitled Worry. There’s no avoiding it, there are going to be disturbances over the next four weeks in those areas on which you usually depend for your sense of security and stability.

Ariadne’s thread: Negotiating life’s labyrinth

I’ve loved Greek myth from childhood, but as I’ve embedded myself more in the landscape of my chosen homeland Wales, Celtic myth has taken first place in my heart. Recently, however, the story of Ariadne’s thread began clamouring for my attention.

So when I spotted it in my local phone box library I picked it up eagerly, aware that it had found me at the perfect time.

The number two suggests you’re in or will be in the early stages of new approaches and methods to managing resources and manifesting with them, as is suggested by the subtitle on the card; “Change”.

Yes, there’s that word again! It can cause fear to rear up in the face of uncertainty and insecurity as what is known and familiar begins to shift and destabilise all around you.

Posted on Jun 7, 2023 in Poetry, Spiritual living, Uncategorized

Recently I spent a wonderful weekend with a group of women storytellers in West Wales, following the call of Ceridwen and her story embedded in the landscape. She’s linked with other areas of Wales too. This poem began to form after an experience at Pentre y Fan (known by some as Ceridwen’s womb tomb) that weekend. I scribbled the bare bones of it in my notebook while sitting on the rocks in Ceibwr Bay, having just returned from The Witch’s Cauldron on the nearby coast.

Another Prince leads the way for you and this month it’s the Prince of Swords. Princes always emphasise forward movement that’s often fast and enduring. So for the next few weeks we’re focusing on the realm of the mind and intellect; the way you think and communicate, your ideas, ideals and beliefs are very much asking for attention.
