Welcome!
I'm Candy Foster.
I'm an intuitive,
And I pull a card for the collective each day.
Each month we'll work with a new deck,
And this month I've chosen the Green Witches Oracle deck by Erin Murphy Hiscock.
This is a new deck for me,
And they are adorable.
They're all about natural magic,
And the images are just whimsical sketches,
And I love them.
I'm a total nature lover,
So that is what drew me to them,
And this month I'm called to leave a little space for integration.
So at the end of each reading,
We will take a few moments to just integrate the message and the energy of the message coming forth for us all.
I hope you enjoy.
Okay,
So lots of messages today.
Today's message that I asked about is Cup of Tea,
And then we had two jumpers,
Winter and Autumn.
So let's start with Cup of Tea.
Patience,
Reassessment.
A cup of tea provides you with a moment of quiet.
Savor the process and stay present.
This brewing takes time,
Just as a tricky situation takes time to develop.
A quick reaction may not be the way to go.
Have patience and let things ripen.
Just as an infusion of herbs takes time to come to full potency,
Magical work rarely produces instantaneous results.
Remember,
A watched pot never boils.
Let it do its work in its own time and trust in your process.
Use the time to reflect on the situation and how you feel about it,
And reassess your perspective.
The cup of tea card reminds you that perhaps all is not as it seems.
Then we pulled Winter,
And we've pulled this a few times this month.
An ending Recharging,
Reflection.
Winter is a quiet time.
In nature,
Most plant life is suspended,
Animals are hibernating,
And food becomes scarce.
Winter tells you that the end of something is coming,
Or has already happened.
Don't lament.
This also means there is an opportunity for something new and better.
In every end,
There is a beginning.
The cycle of nature never stops.
The Winter card encourages rest,
Reflection on what has come by the things that went well,
And what you want to do differently.
As you engage in the reflection,
Remember to look ahead to Spring,
And begin to consider what project you'd like to focus on next,
Using the knowledge you've gained from this time of assessment.
And then our second jumper card was Autumn.
Bounty,
Balance.
Autumn is a time to slow down.
The high energy of summer's expansion calms and turns to a slower rhythm.
There is space for acknowledgement and gratitude,
As the intense production of the previous season yields a crop.
The Autumn equinox is a time of balance,
When the hours of daylight and night are equal.
The Autumn card reminds you that balance is important,
Whether it means balancing work with appreciation for the harvest,
Or balancing intake and output of energy.
Don't overtax yourself.
Remember to refuel in times of hard work.
So as we take a moment to reflect,
We have three questions today.
Number one,
Are there lessons you can learn from a difficult situation that you haven't considered yet?
What big lessons have you learned after slowing down and allowing yourself time to reflect on what has ended or passed?
And finally,
Have you been successful when it comes to balancing your work and personal life?
If not,
How can you strike a better balance?
So that's a lot of information today,
And a lot to mull over in our minds.
So I hope you find that helpful.
Namaste.
