Faerietale Happiness Challenge: Soul Path Reading

(photo credit: Sage Goddess)

One of the ways I add enchantment to my day, which makes me happy, is oracle card readings. I've even begun creating my own oracle, which I love. And most of the time, I draw from one of my decks.

But occasionally, I get a reading from someone else, or someone posts a card or cards whose messages really seem to be calling my name. This is one of those times and the two cards were both from the Tarot (meanings quoted from Sage Goddess)...

The Hermit: The Hermit is the one who is lighting the path for others. A way-seer.

The Magician: This card means that you have all the tools. You just need to know how to use them.

Daily simple happiness rating is 7.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Faerietale Happiness Challenge: The Care & Feeding of a Hermit

So I must confess that I am something of a hermit. I remember once at a church I used to go, I was invited to some kind of afternoon thing a friend of mine was planning to attend.

She described all the different things that would happen at this park gathering. Things for kids, music for grown-ups, etc. And I told her that there was nothing she described that sounded better to me than what I would be doing at home.

And that's the truth! Generally speaking, I would rather be at home.

So one of the things I am learning during this faerietale happiness challenge is that I need to be particularly careful to guard my happiness on days when I have errands to run or appointments to attend. And often what happens is that, pushed for time, I don't get to do anything that feels good before I have to leave.

But I'm going for an enchanted, faerietale life here, so I have decided that I need to really think about how to add enchantment on those days when I wake up thinking about everywhere I have to go, what I need to do first, what the challenges might be as I try to get ready, and what I'm not going to have time to do. Those are the days I need the faerietale most! :)

I had yet another day like that recently and to be honest, the number three comes to mind when I think about giving it a simple happiness rating. 3. Some frustrating things happened, some impatient moments occurred, and then there was some sadness.

But there were good moments, too, like when my mom, and son and I were harmonizing to "For the Longest Time" in the car, or when we stopped for lunch at Carey Hilliard's.

So what I need to figure out is: how can I create enough magic, enchantment and simple happiness as a sandwich around the parts of the day I don't particularly love, so that my overall assessment, and hopefully, my ongoing assessment, is more positive? That's what I will be working on as the month, and this happiness experiment, continues.

What would you put on your happiness sandwich? :)

Tarot Stories: The Hermit

Tarot Stories: 

The Hermit

This blog post is the second in a series that began here, with a post inspired by Brigit Esselmont.

When I applied the tarot to defining moments in my life, I discovered several key themes. One of them was spirituality and the cards that kept coming up within that theme were The Hermit, The High Priestess, The Moon and Temperance.

The Hermit card is one of my Tarot favorites!

It speaks to me of spiritual solitude, of being alone but not being lonely, of growing in wisdom and then, sharing that wisdom with others, and of standing in my own truth. And it showed up for me several times during the tarot timeline exercise I did.

I am grateful that the Hermit is such a big part of my story. One of my growing edges has been to listen when I hear the call to slow down and go within. I am getting better at that, but believe me when i say it is still a work in progress!

How do you relate to the Hermit?

Have a great day!
