The soul journey through the Thoth tarot cards: The Sun

Continuing my journey through the spiritual development meaning of Tarot cards, specifically the major arcana of the Thoth deck, we reach number 19…..

The Sun Tarot card

After the dream-like and mysterious moonlight, the sun shines bright and clear. You have passed an important test and new-found courage brings with it the freedom to express joyfully every aspect of the soul without fear.

As a being of light you’re blazing strongly now in your own right from your inner source, not just as a reflector, and you’ll draw to you others of similar brightness who share the same conciousness and ideals.

Channelled Faerie Songs

Posted on Feb 6, 2014 in Spiritual living

I’ve been singing channelled faerie songs for a few months now, so I thought it might be useful to give an introduction to this unusual aspect of my work. For the last couple of years I’ve been drawn to spend more and more time on the land. This has led to me offering sacred site transmissions as an offshoot of my current personal pilgrimage to sacred sites of the UK and Europe.

When I started to work intentionally at sacred sites, I found I could hear tunes playing in my mind as I walked on the land. At first I would hum them quietly or just let them repeat in my head.

The soul journey through the Thoth tarot cards: The Moon

The Moon Tarot card

The brightest light of the preceding Star casts the darkest shadow, and it’s into the shadows we must venture when we get to the Moon card. But a shadow is merely the absence of light, it indicates that something is preventing the light from getting through, and so now it’s time to delve deep into the Underworld where you’re not permitting the light of Spirit to penetrate.

This is not comfortable territory, and it’s easy to turn back at this point. We don’t like to focus on the murky areas of our personalities, the recesses of the subconscious where our fears are rooted.

Tidal, a poem

Posted on Jan 9, 2014 in Poetry

I was watching the sea in meditation at Widemouth Bay near Bude, when most of this poem just popped into my head pretty much fully formed. It was almost as if someone else wrote it through me. I then revisited it, years and more experience later, to add the last lines:

The waves race to embrace the shore,
Stretching themselves out,
Pulling themselves thin,
Like reaching ghosts.
As if they know.
As if they know
That the same desire driving them
To individuate upon the sand
Will draw them back inexorably
To the swallowing sea,
The overwhelming ocean.
And so it is with me;
Thirsting for autonomy
While consciousness demands
Surrender to the boundless All.
Liberation lies this way.
The solution is dissolving.
Merging with more.
As my shoreline recedes,
The current breathes me further
Out, to the surprising peace
And higher purpose of
Becoming the union I feared.
