 These cards are from Kyle Gray’s “Angels and Ancestors” Oracle Deck.  1) WATER GUARDIAN Card Inscription: Connect with Your Emotions MESSAGE Take time to understand how you really feel. Know that you sensitivity is not a curse, but a gift that allows you to receive and understand messages directly from your soul. ABOUT Water is the element that is in your blood, your tears, and your flesh. The Water Guardian represents angels of Water, who can help you dive within to understand the depth of your emotions. These angels are all about helping you see that your emotions aren’t just the feelings that are on the surface, they are also the old emotions you may have locked deep within the shadows of your soul. Through helping you acknowledge your deepest emotions, the angels of Water help you to hear the messages these have for you and to unlock your intuitive powers and the energies of abundance. EXTENDED MESSAGE You angles want you to know that it’s okay to feel the emotions that are surfacing in you at this time. It doesn’t matter if they are joyous or sad, they are all powerful messengers that allow you to understand what you want and need. Taking time to breathe and acknowledge them lets them flow through you rather than crashing down on you as an overwhelming wave. Note that there are also intuitive/psychic messages arising in you at this time and unless you acknowledge everything as it comes up you may miss important guidance that can lead you to support and love.  2) MIRROR GUARDIAN Card Inscription: Take Time to Reflect MESSAGE Take some time to reflect on your strengths and challenges and how far you’ve come. Recognize your gifts. ABOUT Angels accept you just the way you are. Even when you are going through a challenging time, they still hold you in the highest esteem. The Mirror Guardian, a female angel looking into the mirror of your life, invites you to witness you spiritual strength and beauty – to see yourself as the angels do. The mirror represents the fact that your core beliefs and ideas are in fact what is reflected back to you by your world. Your life is one big mirror of how you feel within and the Mirror Guardian helps you recognize that. When this card appears, you are being invited to take some time to see where you are right now. EXTENDED MESSAGE You are a beautiful being who has surmounted so many challenges and expanded in so many ways. Your angels are now guiding you to take inventory of your life – to take the time to note all of your recent experiences: the challenges you have surmounted, the strengths that you have developed, and the lessons you have learned. Your angels want you to reflect on your strengths, in particular those aspects of yourself that you feel have not been acknowledged by others. Offer yourself approval where it’s due and know that when you give yourself credit, others will be able to as well.  3) BROKEN ARROW
Card Inscription: Embrace the Energy of Peace MESSAGE Let go of the need to defend yourself and prepare to offer peace. You are safe. ABOUT Just as the Arrow card symbolizes defense and protection, the Broken Arrow card symbolizes peace. In Native American traditions, a broken arrow would mean that tribes were no longer fighting one another but were making alliances. When you see a broken arrow in a meditation, vision, dream, or reading, it is a message that you no longer need to fight, because peace has arrived. This is a powerful symbol of harmony, serenity, and community. EXTENDED MESSAGE If you have been exposed to a situation in which you have felt the need to protect yourself or defend what you feel is right, know that this is now coming to an end. With the arrival of the Broken Arrow card, you are being guided to know that the energies of light are entering to wash away all of the darkness. You can drop your shields and protection. You are now in a situation that will honor you and honor your needs. Arguments are ending and disagreements are being resolved. Prepare to talk things through and offer the peace that you would like to enjoy. In order to move forward in a more fearless way, it’s important for you to let go of the idea that you can be hurt by this situation or the people involved, because this will only work against you. Know that your angelic guides and ancestors are standing around you, protecting you and taking you lovingly forward.

 This week’s cards are from Kyle Gray’s “Angels and Ancestors “ Oracle Cards deck.  1) SEER Card Inscription: See Beyond the Current Situation MESSAGE Look beyond your current situation. Raise your vibration and focus on love. ABOUT Most indigenous peoples have a seer in the family or tribe. Seers are the intelligent and intuitive beings who serve as direct channels for information on what’s occurring now and what’s about to unfold. Their energy isn’t about predicting your future for you, but about showing you how your intentions are creating it. A true seer will help you see that your intentions can change, therefore so can your future. The message of this card is to let the clairvoyant within you rise up so that you can see the way forward yourself, with your spiritual eyes. EXTENDED MESSAGE Clairvoyance isn’t just about predicting the future, it’s about being able to see clearly enough to create your best future. You are being encouraged by your ancestral guides and angels to see beyond what you think is happening now. Don’t allow your ego or doubts to play games with you. Instead of seeing yourself as stuck or lost, know you’re in an energetic holding space while the universe recalibrates a path that is more favorable for you. Angels of light are upgrading your energy so your experiences can be more enjoyable. You are moving towards something extremely uplifting and enlightening, so stay calm and keep your eyes on the prize.  2) SPIRIT FOX Card Inscription: Trust Your Talents in Changing Times MESSAGE Stay alert, as change is in the air. ABOUT The Spirit Fox features my favorite animal of all time, the red fox, an amazingly resilient creature able to survive in urban environments or the freezing temperatures of the Arctic. Foxes knows what it’s like to be hunted – for centuries they have been sought for their precious fur when all they want is to survive, so the Spirit Fox can help you overcome the energies of adversity and unfair treatment. Also, as urban foxes hide in cities and go about their business in the darker hours, the Fox offers the medicine of blending in. EXTENDED MESSAGE The energies around you are changing at this time, and although it may not always be comfortable, you are equipped with all that you need to survive this shift. You are being presented with opportunities to reach spaces you’ve never encountered before, and this can make you feel on edge, but be open to the shifts occurring, because they really are the answers to your prayers. The experience of being hunted or threatened is now behind you and you are being invited to come out from your den and reveal your glory and talents. Call upon Spirit Fox medicine to help you be seen for who you are and trust in your talents in order to be the best you can be in these changing times.  3) SHAPESHIFTER
Card Inscription: Transform and Unveil Your Gifts MESSAGE Take your time and focus on developing your gifts and strengths. ABOUT In native traditions, a shapeshifter is either an animal that has the capacity to change between species or a shaman who has the capacity to transform into an animal to go journeying. If there is a wild animal you are particularly drawn to or fascinated by, it’s probably because you can transform into one in your meditation or journeying practice to go exploring in the other worlds. When you shift into animal form, you can see the world through different eyes and tap into the animal’s survival skills to help yourself through a particular situation. EXTENDED MESSAGE You may have been through many challenges and lows, but now you are in a space of transformation. You are moving beyond your past challenges and honing your current strengths. There are opportunities for you to discover and rediscover the gifts and talents that you were born with and born to share. All of your past experiences have only helped you see how strong you really are. You are an amazing soul who can change and transform in ways that people least expect. You have many talents that you will share in your lifetime. You are guided to stay focused on the light, knowing that it will guide you forward. When this card arrives, tehre’s also an opportunity for you tap into the power of your spirit animal. Not if you’re seeing a particular animal regularly, because its medicine is coming to you.  These cards are from Michelle Black’s “Universal Mind” Oracle Deck and are available on Etsy!  1) EXPERIENCE DAWN (16) Twilight, those moments before the sunrise --- this is the time when the world looks different... The build-up to a magical, elusive display of emerging sunlight produces a kaleidoscope of color. Rebirth. That precious hour before sunrise is powerful for setting intentions, crystal grid activation, connecting with Source / Universe / Guides, and meditation. This card calls you to experience dawn literally and figuratively, whenever possible. Feel the joy of celebrating another day and witness yourself in co-creation with the Universal Life Force energy. Keywords: Joy, Vitality, Parenting, Between Worlds, Rebirth, Preparedness, Punctuality Crystals: Opal Aura Quartz, Garnet, Gold Calcite, Moonstone, Natural Citrine Essential Oils: White Fir, Clary Sage, Basil, Lemongrass Element: Fire  2) DIVINE MASCULINE (42) You have reached an exciting time in your transformation. This card speaks to the rebirth of the collective Divine Masculine. The new energy created through this rebirth is causing a shift within us all, and right now that shift is yours to behold. To assist with this process, the Universe has gifted you with the medicine of Swan to bring fresh air into your emotional life and to help decompose any overactive remnants of your former understanding of the masculine. Allow this to transform your being while at the same time transforming the way you approach partnerships. The central aspects of the divine masculine are: discipline, recognizing one's power over the ego, and claiming the power to set oneself free of habits and patterns that are damaging to the body and/or spirit. "The masculine creates and protects the outer space and provides the feminine with a safe space for creation. In turn the feminine nourishes and protects the masculine from within." (quoting Jessica Malone - www.jessica-malone.com). Keywords: solar plexus chakra, intelligence, warrior, priorities, justice Crystals: Red Jasper, Amethyst, Citrine, Black Tourmaline Essential Oils: Cinnamon, Spearmint, WhiteFir Element: Water  3) MANIFEST (19)
“All rests in the intention that you put into the gesture. Just making the gesture is not sufficient.” - Luc Bourgault Card 18 (I Am \ Mantra) brings the energy of recognizing the power we have over the mind. This card, 19 | Manifest, is an extension of card 18. Now we have matured in our understanding of how the process of taking control actually works; we have established connection to the Higher Self and are following our intuition almost instinctively. When the connection to our Intuitive Self / Source / Universe / God is strong, we are ready to begin the work of manifestation... that is --- setting energy into motion with a specific outcome in mind. Keywords: Visualize, Effort, Dream, Creation, Action, Harvest, Clarity, Third-Eye Chakra Crystals: Sapphire, Amethyst, Turquoise, Smoky Herkimer, Natural Citrine, Onyx Essential Oils: Lemon, Grapefruit, Ginger, Cardamom Element: Ether  This week’s cards are from Kyle Gray’s “Angels and Ancestors Oracle” Cards.  1) SPRING Card Inscription: See your seeds grow. MESSAGE Embrace the change that is on the horizon. Allow your dreams to become reality. ABOUT Spring is an exciting time because it has so much potential. Animals are coming out of hibernation, flowers are pushing up through the soil and the days are getting lighter and brighter. The Spring card features a wild hare, because in Celtic animal medicine, the hare brings intuition and rebirth. Hares are highly fertile beings and so their medicine can bring dreams to life. EXTENDED MESSAGE You are ready to bring to life all of your ideas, inspirations, and projects. When this card appears, you are moving into a space that allows you to really grow, expand, and create in a way you’ve never done before. There are opportunities for growth, and if you’re starting something new, prepare for a major expansion in your life and soul.  2) AUTUMN Card Inscription: Release the old and rest. MESSAGE Release all of the pressure and expectation weighing you down. Shed it all so that you can recover before moving into a time of renewal. ABOUT Autumn is when the trees are preparing for the long, cold winter and must let go of all the weight they are carrying in order to grow and prosper. Sometimes you too just have to surrender an aspect of yourself in order to continue to grow and prosper. The raven on the Autumn card shows that there is an opportunity to heal at this time. In Celtic animal medicine, the raven is the bird of healing and initiation. The healing it brings is a shift that allows you to move into a more powerful psychic space where you can be more aware of your needs and desires, and be better supported. EXTENDED MESSAGE You know what is heavy, what is holding you back. Is it a person, a situation, a dream? Like the trees letting go of their leaves and fruit in the autumn, it’s time to let it go. When you hold on, you try to control reality and that never works. When you let go, you make space for the new to enter your life. You are being guided by your angels and nature herself to release whatever is stopping you from moving forward. And you can do this.  3) SHIELD MAIDEN
Card Inscription: Make plans and focus. MESSAGE Have a plan or strategy in place before moving forward. ABOUT The Shield Maiden is the female Knight in shining armor. In Viking traditions, women were seen as equal to men, and so joined them on their raids and fought with them on the battlefield. In this deck, the Shield Maiden brings a fiercely feminine energy – the power to be a warrior while retaining feminine sensitivity. She is ready to put her plan into action – she’s ready to go into battle. Her medicine helps us move beyond any unsettled feelings when our plans start to take shape and follow through with our strategies in order to be where we want to be. Shield Maidens worked together in times gone by to create shield walls of protection, so she also shows us how to work with others in order to bring our plans to fruition. EXTENDED MESSAGE Taking some time to assess what your next steps will be. All great warriors have a plan. You are a sensitive being and if you are not prepared for the tasks you are taking on, you could end up feeling exposed and helpless. The ancestor guidance that is coming to you now is a reminder that you have a warrior’s heart and that you have it within you to be more prepared and focused that you have been recently. So, have a strategy in place and then let your guides support you as you move forward.  Cards: ”Angels and Ancestors Oracle Cards” by Kyle Gray  1) EAGLE Card Inscription: See from a higher perspective. MESSAGE Look at things from a different angle. Fly higher and see new possibilities. ABOUT In animal medicine, both Native American and Celtic, the eagle draws his power and strength from the sun. He is a powerful, strong, and courageous guide who is able to see for miles. He approaches all things with intelligence, grace, and poise, and has the capacity to make a plan from a higher space before putting it into action. When the Eagle card appears in a reading, it shows that you have a real ability to take things higher and to move beyond the limitations of your ego and your selfish desires. EXTENDED MESSAGE Eagle medicine swirls around you, encouraging you to recognize that your views or vision may be limited at this time. Is there a chance that your own desperation, needs, or ego could be blocking you from seeing the potential in your current situation? If there are other people involved, you are being guided to see things from everyone’s perspective. If you are feeling the need for something to change, how can you take the higher road? Know that if you have intentions that aren’t for the highest good, it will only hold you back. Eagle medicine can help you change this. The Eagle brings the energy of healing and love directly from the heart of Father Sky and invites you to do all things from a place of love.  2) SPIRIT FOX Card Inscription: Trust your talents in changing times. MESSAGE Stay alert, as change is in the air. ABOUT The Spirit Fox features my favorite animal of all time, the red fox, an amazingly resilient creature able to survive in urban environments or the freezing temperatures of the Arctic. Foxes know what it’s like to be hunted – for centuries they have been sought for their precious fur when all they want is to survive, so the Spirit Fox can help you overcome the energies of adversity and unfair treatment. Also, as urban foxes hide in cities and go about their business in the darker hours, the Fox offers the medicine of blending in. EXTENDED MESSAGE The energies around you are changing at this time, and although it may not always be comfortable, you are equipped with all that you need to survive this shift. You are being presented with opportunities to reach spaces you’ve never encountered before, and this can make you feel on edge, but be open to the shifts occurring, because they really are the answers to your prayers. The experience of being hunted or threatened is now behind you and you are being invited to come out from your den and reveal your glory and talents. Call upon Spirit Fox medicine to help you be seen for who you are and trust in your talents in order to be the best you can be in these changing times.  3) STARGAZER
Card Inscription: Set your sights higher. MESSAGE Go beyond your limitations and believe that the impossible is possible. ABOUT Do you ever remember wishing on a star when you were a child and in your innocence believing that your wish would come true? The Stargazer connects with the energy of the cosmos and reminds you that you have the ability to draw in support from the universe. His cloak, with its sparkles and light, shows that you are closer to the energy of the universe that you think – you don’t have to go out looking for it, it’s already there. So look beyond where you are and create even bigger dreams, visions, and goals, because with the power and help of the cosmos, those wishes can come true. EXTENDED MESSAGE You are on the verge of a miracle. All of your dreams and aspirations are within your grasp and you are being guided to focus on your vision. The angels who are with you are encouraging you. There is nothing that you cannot have or achieve. There’s an opportunity at this time to heal an old wound or pattern of lack and not feeling good enough. In the past you’ve often found it impossible to recognize your worth and to believe that you are deserving of blessings. Angel and ancestor wisdom is reminding you that you are an incredible and infinite spark of the universe, and the universe is not only within you, it absolutely adores you. You are talented, filled with strength and have the abilities you need to turn your wildest dreams into reality. |
