For the Love of Tarot

 

 

The Psychic Tarot for the Heart by John Holland

Anyone who knows me, knows me for my tarot and my love of it. I began my tarot journey many years ago (around 11 years now!) and it is the tool that actually helped me develop not only my psychic skills but also it really helped me to tune in and heighten my mediumship abilities.

 

So, a new tarot deck arrives on my door mat some months ago now and I knew they would be amazing because I'd previously purchased The Psychic Tarot by John Holland some years previous. Somehow these cards always bring up the exact truth (no matter how ugly it may seem) and that is why when I have an issue that I want super clarity on or a client is really struggling to understand their energies and thoughts, I reach for these.

 

 

The Psychic Tarot for the Heart are a tarot deck specifically formulated to help delve into those romance and relationship queries that we all have. I played with them on my own queries as one relationship broke down and the progression of a new one continued as it had been dormant in the background whilst I cleared up some Karma and got really specific over what I wanted, expected and would now only accept in a relationship. These cards have been accurate, comforting and a true guide to how I have been able to move on in my life.

 

 

 

Clients have found their images (when I've emailed them their reading and included a photo of their cards) to be inspirational, uplifting and smile-worthy. The readings flow much easier than usual tarot, perhaps a placebo effect as you automatically become much more tuned in to your own psychic senses when using the cards of the namesake.

 

 

 

They are quite beautiful cards and I also like (sometimes) the Chakra Cards which sometimes come up. Although they are for relationships, I have also used them for all queries and general reads - they just bring a nice feeling to the reading. 

Here are a few of my favourite cards from the deck;

The Tarot Masters

 

The Tarot Masters edited by Kim Arnold

Published by Hay House UK

RRP £9.99 Hay House Price £6.99

 

To say that I LOVED this book would be a serious understatement. I have to begin by saying that if you know ANYONE who is a Tarot Lover then this is an absolute MUST BUY for their Festive Christmas Gift! I know that if I woke up on Christmas morning to find this in my stocking, wow I would be one serious Jubilant Girly!

 

The Tarot Masters features 38 tarot experts (the crème de la crème of the Tarot world) and their deeply insightful take on tarot. The book is separated into two distinct sections that flow from each other beautifully. The first section take the Major Arcana (illustrated of course) and a Tarot Expert discusses both their interpretation of the card and their journey into the world of tarot. It's bang up to date as they discuss what they are currently doing, and what projects they are working on.

 

So who are the tarot experts that I am so giddy about? I am so glad that you asked.

Kim Arnold, founder of the prestigious UK Tarot Conference, has managed to gleam the insights from the likes of Juliet Sharman-Burke (My first EVER tarot deck was by this wonderful expert), Richard Abbot whom was trained by the late Arthur Norris - who by the way happened to read for my Mother several times before his passing in 2010 and whom I leant a few techniques from, Mary K. Greer, Ciro Marchetti - another tarot expert whom I have high praise for, Alison Cross... and ... Oh I am not going to spoil it!

 

Coming from a family of psychics myself who have used a variety of methods, tools and techniques to gleam insight into people's lives, I was absolutely THRILLED at reading just how these tarot experts began their journeys. Each time I read that a Tarot Expert used the playing cards to foretell the future I high-fived my Nan in the spirit world (along with my Great Nan, and Great Great Nan, and Great, Great, Great Nan) because I recall at being just under 2 years of age and my Nan sat with me in the living room of her home teaching me the meanings of the playing cards. I thoroughly enjoyed doing this, I thought it was an important game we were playing, I think on some level, my soul knew what I was doing, and knew it was a huge part in the development of my destiny, (and family tradition) and in some way I was still innocent enough to not have my ego jumping in and messing it all up. Interestingly, my Nan always called the playing cards "the Prayer Book" or "the bible" and readings have always been "scarily" accurate.

 

I simply cannot praise this book high enough! If I were to stand on top of the worlds tallest Mountain and have a huge banner waving frantically at you promoting this book, it wouldn't be enough (OK I'd look like a lunatic but I'd do it anyway for this book!). Please, if you LOVE tarot as much as I do, Or even half as much, go and buy the book, Santa says you've been VEY VERY GOOD this year, you deserve it! You never know what you'll discover yourself!

☆ Today's Witchy Insight ~ October 8th 2013 ☆

Today's Witchy Insight is from the world of Tarot ~ The Magician who to me always inspires me and fills me with such hope. He also reminds me of a Universal teaching that has become so popular these days we can actually deem it fashionable ;  The Law of Attraction. 

In my first days of learning tarot, The Magician was my most hoped for card as I learnt that not only was he balanced (being a Libran, this is important to me) by his awareness of all 4 elements; represented by the cup, wand, sword and pentacle (water, fire, air and earth respectively) but he had the ability to do anything he put his mind to. 

I think everyone, regardless of their pathway or life circumstances can be inspired by the presence of this energy. Don't we all want to be told that WE CAN IF WE TRY? I believe that The Magician arrives in our lives when we may be feeling hopeless, despair or lacking in confidence, to remind us that if we only use the tools that we have around us (just like he does laid upon the table) then we can be living a life that others may see as only merely a dream. 

I also believe this card can mean that we are about to enter a phase in our lives where we are going to be tested, perhaps to the max, but definitely we are going to have our boundaries pushed. What do we do in this situation? We use all of our elemental spirit, our experiences, our heartaches, our passions, our ideas and thoughts, and our resources to throw everything we have at this situation and by utilizing the power of our thoughts (WE CAN IF WE TRY), come out the other end happier, healthier, wiser and proud of our achievement. 

I hope everyone can take the energy of The Magician with them over the next 24 hours or so and carry him with them throughout their lives,

Gratitude Awareness Classes

Happy December Everyone! 

A few months ago I never would have dreamed that I would be in the happy, successful and exciting place that I am in right now. It's been a tough journey healing my Mind, Heart and Soul, but I am 90% there now. I will share this in another blog post real soon. But right now, I want to keep the happy flow going! 

As you can see from the above banner that now graces my NEW page on Facebook, I have come out of the closet - I am now using my birth name "Dawn" rather than my spiritual name "Aurora" for my work, blogs, social media etc etc. So hi everyone! 

This morning I woke up to find we were officially at December 1st! 

20 days to do before we experience some cosmic shift of perception.  

And I have to say I was and still am, over the hills stupidly and excitedly happy!  

I'm really not a morning person, but today I awoke with a fresh perspective and a feeling of closure on the past and a new beginning just waiting for me to cross the START line. So I jumped to it! I grabbed my new journal I bought yesterday and began my fresh practice of daily gratitude and affirmations. 

Then when I logged onto facebook, I visited "DAWN BRIERLEY UK" and began my new "31 Day Gratitude Awareness Class" and I posted the following; 

♥ Gratitude Awareness Class - Day 1 ♥ 

Today, what are you grateful for? Do you feel grateful during your day? Try and mentally make a note of those moments where you feel really grateful, glad to be alive, and in a state of pure bliss. 

My gratitude for today:

"I am truly grateful for the text "A Course in Miracles" because it inspires me to be the best version of me and through it I have found inner peace"

Tell me 1 thing that you are grateful for today below this post:

My Copy of the text: A Course in Miracles

So, I would really love you to join me on Facebook at "DAWN BRIERLEY UK" and take part in the "31 day Gratitude Awareness Class"

Over at my new page, you'll also get posts related to Angels, Faeries, Tarot, Celestial Life Coaching , affirmations, A Course in Miracles, Mermaids, .... everything and more. It's an eclectic mix - it's ME and who I am, and I would love to share that with you all.

Before I go, I want to share with you all something from my "Celestial Life Coaching" segment. I wrote about Mission Statements; what they are and how to write one. 

Please stop by and leave a comment. And while you're there why not hit "Follow" and check out what else I've written about there. 

78 Days of Tarot

Hello everyone, 

I've decided to take up a new challenge - the "78 Days of Tarot" challenge from the "Dusken Path" 

I am excited about this project purely because I love, love, LOVE tarot cards and although I wanted to begin this from October 1st, I didn't discover it until October 2nd, AND (yes there are more excuses reasons) it's my 24th Birthday on Friday (yes the 5th!!) and I have been told that I will be getting a new fan-dabby-doobly tarot deck!! So I thought that as I begin to work with a new deck, I could post about those cards from Saturday 6th. 

Each card will be blogged about for theoretically 78 days (although I may be posting 7 cards in one go once a week - especially when we reach the Minor Arcane). I will include a picture of each card, and will include my interpretation of the card and look at the symbology used in the artwork.

I do hope that you will join me by reading and commenting on the blog posts and if you're taking part too - let me know so I can read all about your 78 Days of Tarot! 

Bright Blessings, 

Aurora 

Pagan Blog Project 2012 ~ Week 6 ~ Cards

Merry Meet,

This week I wanted to share with you perhaps the most important part of my pathway since I began even being intrigued by the craft...Cards. It's the one aspect that has stuck with me through thick and thin, doubt and belief. The use of Oracle and Tarot cards perhaps in some way, sum up who I am, or what I am interested in.

My first oracle deck I ever used was *Messages from the Angels* by Doreen Virtue.

I was 13 years old and I'd had the cards for a while and one day after school I felt that it was the right time to use them. So I lit a few candles and sat myself on my bedroom floor (As a teen I always loved sitting on my floor - it grounded me) and looked through the accompaning booklet for a spread and idea on what to ask the cards. Then I found it. "Recieve a message from a deceased loved one". Now communing with spirit isn't something I always planned on doing, it was something that I was born with... it certainly feels that way. But I missed my Nan, she'd died 10 years previous and I wanted to feel her close to me... I wanted some proof that she was around me and that the visions I had wasn't just wishful thinking on my part.

I shuffled the cards and hoped. I didn't expect anything profound. To be honest I'm not sure what I expected at 13 years old.

But then the card fell out. So I stopped. I put the cards down and picked it up. I turned it over.

I read it. I cried. I then talked to my nan for what seemed like hours.

And that was how I started. How I really got the boot up the behind because after that I thought, If I can be reassured like this, could I do it for others?

So  joined an online chatroom, and forums and practised everyday. Everyday I was bombarded with requests for readings.

It got to the stage where I planned on pulling 3 cards and would begin interpreting the angels messages from the first card and then the other two would be fitted in the reading a long time later as Spirit would draw to me and communicate with their loved ones.... all via a chatroom.... and chatroom user name. I couldn't tell you any of the names as I simply do not know. They couldn't tell you who I was... well they could... WhiteWitch04... mainly, but beside the point. Those oracle cards became a staple to my craft.

After that I used Tarot cards, faerie cards, mermaid cards... you name them I have them! And I love them! Each deck offers me a different vibration to work on and connect with the clients needs. Right now, I love working with my Faerie Heart Oracle, and Romance Angels decks as at the moment it seems that is what people are drawn to me for. But each day brings new opportunities and new people with new issues and concerns.

Whichever deck they need, or whatever their concern, it is my Duty to my own Craft, to the Witch Inside of me to do my best to help them. It's a vow I took and one I will not break... and still have not broken in 10 years.

Thank you for reading about a huge part of my life.

Blessed Be,

Aurora

Season's Greetings 2011

Merry Meet!

Season's Greetings everyone no matter what you celebrate today (if anything).

Well, I have been a very lucky and blessed witchy today. The gifts I have recieved have brightened my soul so much and to see the looks on my loved ones faces when they opened their gifts! Priceless!

we have browsed the photos we took this morning whilst unwrapping and well I have provided some great entertainment this year! I think im going to turn the photos into a personal book with sarcastic commentary! I really am not photogenic...when I was suprised or happy I ended up looking bored and confused haha.

Here are a couple of snaps of the beautiful gifts I recieved today

GANESH ~ How truly beautiful! He hasn't left my side all day. Seriously I simply don't want to be parted. I love Hinduism! So much of the belief system resonates with my heart and I feel very drawn to their Goddesses and Gods within my spirituality. Every year I look forward to celebrating Diwali too, so this Ganesh was very timely and special for me, especially as he is the Remover of Obstacles!

My beautiful Triquetta and Iolite pendant. Yes I was a fan of CHARMED but this is so much more to me, the Iolite it beautiful. Instantly felt peaceful and serene. Embracing my Goddess Energy.

Along with those gifts I had some more jewellery...a piece unexpected by the man in my life (thank you my love! Ti Amo Mr Biancheii xx ), and another pendant which I am waiting to cleanse and empower with the helpful presence of Isis! I also had handbags, nail polish, make up sets and a pack of tarot cards with a promise that there are more cards on delivery route! and lovely smelly gift sets. My favourite is a body lotion of Sandalwood and Patchouli! How Witchy indeed!

However lovely today has been I have had a somewhat slightly heavy heart that has been also excited and really empowered. The reason? I simply cannot wait to get started on organising my life! I need to sort out so many things and really work on my life and making it what I want it to. I really had to stop myself today from writing a story for my University assignment! I know! But I really feel that 2012 is going to be my year. (I will explain in another blog post). I know I have to sort everything out and make sure everything matches my desires and beliefs in 2012. A time of happiness and balance.

So how have you celebrated today?

Blessed Be

Re-Opening the Broom Closet!

Merry Meet,

I'm going to be honest with you all. I haven't been myself lately. I've had days where I've been *me* but on the whole, 9 out of 10 days I've been someone I'm not. Let me explain.

When I created this blog I was at an all time high on my Witchy Pathway, but then slowly my energy depleted and my posts began to show that. Yeah you know the wingey, whiney, moany ones! yep they're the ones. Well, it wasn't really fair of me to post them, but my blog was my little room in my witchy house where I could moan until my heart was content. I did try to moan until my heart was content, but that was the problem...moaning doesn't please me! Yes, guys! Im afraid MOANING does NOT PLEASE me :D haha

So I have been under going a form of therapy... it's called Loved Ones! Well My Man, My Friend and My sister have been working with me tirelessly over the past couple of weeks to help me finally look in the mirror and see the Mess I got myself into. (NO I have not turned into an alcoholic, depressed dirty housewife - for one thing, Im not married...YET!)

Well, Yesterday while my Man was busy and my Sister was out shopping, I stood up and looked in the mirror Not an actual mirror...c'mon you know me by now! I'd break it! I don't need another 7 years of bad luck :D And I took my time to process all the things my loved ones had said to me. They were concerned that I'd literally turned my back on my Witchy Roots...(yes My Man is from a Catholic family... he's Italian..but he was concerned I'd not practiced Magick for a while)and that I'd let my work with Faeries rule my life. Not to mention the fact that I wasn't my normal chirpy (CRAZY!) self. Counselling was mentioned... but I have decided not to go down that road... not unless I really need to.

Anyway, Something sparked an interest in me. So I looked back at some of my old hang outs online *Children of Artemis* being one of them, and even though some of the posts were either old, basic or too advanced for me, I felt such an immense feeling of calm and *homely-ness*. So it got me thinking, what about books I used to read... when I was a teenager... and I thought about when I began working with Tarot professionally..."I haven't used the tarot enjoyably for ages!!!". I can't even tell you the last time I enjoyably worked with Angels...it had all become a chore and a 9-5.. ok a 24/7 job that was weighing me down :( As a Libran, balance is important to me, and is one thing that I'm here in this incarnation to acheive - balance in my life.

So I made a decision. I will continue with my work with the Faeries, they are a huge part of my life, but they do need to stop being so much in the forefront of my life as I have no room for working with the Angels, Goddesses, Tarot or anything else. OK this sounds a little bit hard to take in doesn't it?
Let me see if I can explain a little better.

I want to embrace facets of myself that have been pushed to oneside and hidden in my Broom Closet for the past year. I want to work more actively with crystals, spells, Moon Magick, Herbs, The God & Goddess, Angels, Tarot. They are all a side to me that has been neglected this year which has caused me to be unbalanced and unhappy. I really enjoy my work as *The Faerie Whisperer*, I get to connect to so many wonderful people and of course my column in FAE Magazine is a blessing and well, I'm very grateful for that aspect of me. But what about *The Witch Inside*?

So my target for 2012? To become a more balanced witch and person.

To give me a helping hand I have created an additional Facebook Page called..... *The Witch Inside* where I will post Goddess Magick, Candle/Colour/Crystal Magick, Moon Power, Herbal Hints, and so much more.

Why create an additional page?

Good question! Well, I wanted something separate to my faerie whisperer page where I could share with like minded people my Witchy Ways. Now I will still post SOME elements for my Faerie Whisperer page, but I'd love it if you would *like* my New page too... Pwetty Pwease! <3 xxxx

So onto other areas in my life...

How's the Kabbalah?

Really good actually. I'm wearing my Red String, in fact I had it tied to me by my Mum last night and then I had crazy dreams... my spirit guide visited me and to cut a long story short...he's looking after me.

I have recieved 2 more Kabbalah books I ordered from Ebay, I didn't purchase them brand new as I figured if this turns out to be something Im not interested in, I'd like to have not spent tons of money on books. So I got them all for under £10!! One is about the Red String, and basically helps you notice what could be attracting negativity into your life and the other...is called *God Wears Lipstick*. Ladies.... Buy a copy! Seriously. It doesn't matter what religion you are, you can benefit from this book! it helps you work on manifesting your life as you want it but without engaging your EGO into the manifestation process, it also works with your romantic life and relationships. I LOVE IT!!!

Also One thing to note! I have a stalker! Yes, they may even be reading this right now! Freak!

You see, Since I became *The Faerie Whisperer* I have been CONTINUOUSLY copied by this person and to be frank I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF IT! They need to grow up and stop being so damn SPITEFUL! Yes that is what you are! Spiteful because someone else is succeeding where you want to! It is NOT FAIR, it is not GOOD, and it certainly is not adhering to the AN HARM NONE!!!! Rule!
You have literally ruined for me what should be a wonderful pathway! You consistently copy, use my work to inspire *your so called original* work... darling, there is nothing ORIGINAL about you!

I have readers of my work EMAIL and MESSAGE me about you and your copying of my work, but just because you word it slightly different to how I have done so, or you literally take my idea....SNOW QUEEN, JACK FROST, CUTTING TIE WITH FRIENDS, READING NEW BOOKS, FAERIE MESSAGES, FAERIE GUARDIANS....do you want me to go on... because I can.... I have a whole year's worth of your copying off me here! ... Leave Me Alone! Stop Stalking! Stop CYBER BULLYING me! and STOP using my personal experiences to massage your ego so you come off sounding good using my insights!!!

Seriously DARLING!!! You have picked the wrong Witch to P**s off! So do everyone a favour and just QUIT IT! Its not good!

No doubt you'll crawl back to your page and blabber on about "being original... and not copying others... and that your the victim... and your being copied..."BLAH BLAH BLAH!!! Seriously! Grow up, Admit you're in the wrong and STOP IT!!!! ©

Happy Christmas!

Oh and another thing STALKER!!!! ALL MY WORK IS COPYRIGHTED!!! © <<< See COPYRIGHT!!!! And TIMED!!!!! So everyone can see who wrote it first!!!!!
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Au Revouir!

A Spring in My Step

Hi there again!

I really am like the bus system, you don't see me for ages and then I'm everywhere and in your face with my blog posts!

Im doing this one again as you may not hear from me for another week as the world of work beckoned me today in the form of my Boss (The Headteacher) emailed me and asked me to go into work tomorrow.... BOOOO!!!!

Well anyway, I wanted to spend the gorgeous weekend in the garden tidying and preparing it all for getting my lovely flowers potted & planted. Did I get round to doing it? Noooooooo of course not, the weather has been rather dull and dim. Not sure the Sunshine Faeries like me right now! I have managed to sow some SunFlower seeds though so I am eagerly awaiting them. I'm actually willing them to grow overnight!!!!
I have lots of ideas for the garden this year, lots of herbs, heathers, fuchias, geraniums, roses, lavender ( I know its a herb but I love writing that word....LAVENDER!!!!! mmmmmmmmm I can almost smell it), and I want lots of faerie activity as well out there this year. Last year we had a lot of building work going on so they were frightened but all should be peaceful this year. YAY!!!!

Meet my lovely GNOMES

Oh, we thought that all our frogs had died..... alas we have a couple at least who we caught having bedroom activity in the fishing net... AHEM!!

My artemisia is growing up beautifully again this year, i'm so proud.

I'm hoping when Uni is finished I can do something that my gorgeous friend, Pixie Allen has been doing.... a 30 day art challenge. I won't be anywhere as near good as she is (Shes fab!!!!) but I'd like to try.

Hmmmmm other news!!! Yes, I have been approached by CHAT ITS FATE magazine to write a crystal piece/questionaire for their annual magazine, which I am excited about.

I'm also taking my psychic readings in new directions to flow with the new changes coming to us spiritually.
Faerie readings will focus on connecting you with your faerie guardians, Angel readings will promote and focus on how to get you ready & move you forward on your ascension pathway, and the Tarot, will be addressing your past life issues and even telling you the story of a past life of yours... ooooooooo sounds fab doesnt it???

and by no means least, my fabulous FAE Faerie Whisperer column for Beltane issue will be featuring some faerie advice on creating your own faerie garden, a faery psychic reading, and some other sprinkles that I REALLY CANT TELL YOU..... SHHHHH ITS A SECRET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, as you can, spring in my step.... I want to STEP into SPRING!!!!

Toodles for now my lovelys xxxxxxxx
