from ariestess's June One Card Draw
She used the Gypsy Fortunetelling Deck and I asked for general guidance.
Your card :: 4 of Clubs [reversed]
This is an excellent time to take inventory of your goals. Where can you adjust your timeline to be more flexible about end results? Do you have contingency plans in case something goes wrong along the way? If not, take the opportunity to make them. You never know when you'll need a backup plan.

Bird Oracle (June 27 2012)
from wrenstarling's June one card draw using her bird oracle deck, we asked for a card to meditate on.
For you, I drew Lark. In the coldest of times, there is still freshness; beneath the snow is the soil of the earth in which good things grow. This is the bird of winter. It speaks of Earth and Sun, of spirals, of the sacred voice/sacred song, the importance of just listening, the warming of body and soul, seeking/loving the sun/light.
Personal thoughts - Lark has a lot of layers as a totem and it's application right now is also multi-layered.
"Lark teaches the lesson of freedom from worrying"
-(http://timberwolfhq.com/animals-spirit-power-totem/)
Lately worry is a lot of who I am. this encourages me a little, that I can learn to move beyond the insecurity.
"Larks are known for their melodious singing. They also sing while they are flying, unlike most other birds, who only sing when perched. This indicates cheerfulness and reminds us to find joy in our own lives....
Larks have a crescent shape across their breasts. The crescent shape often signifies lunar qualities, and the moon is often linked with the concept of self. Therefore the lark reflects the inward journey that’s often associated with self-discovery. This goes hand in hand with their singing, something that, for humans, is often considered a private activity and a deep reflection of inner self. Lark encourages us to explore our inner selves and sing out loud."

The Mystery of Sound
For those to whom the lark appears, the mysteries and science of
sound, music and voice will be important
and the shamanic aspects of song and sorcery will become unveiled.
The creative power of voice awakens.
Words spoken will take on greater power and magic.
Things spoken lovingly will be felt more deeply;
things spoken harshly will cut more deeply.
The power of the voice is awakening.
It has been said that the angels sing everyday for us,
but to hear the song of the angels we must first be able to hear the song
within our own hearts.
When the lark appears, our own sacred song is being awakened.

I think the combination of these is an important reminder -- learning to just sing it reminds me of the Henry van Dyke quote I used in my high school yearbook
"Horned (Shore) Lark - Grounded and Dreaming
Keywords: Strutting your stuff, oneness with wind and ground spirits, staying grounded and dreaming big, knowing the healing power of the earth, the earth element, the wind element, doing what is necessary to protect loved ones, knowing the power of sacrifice, putting others first, seeking stability, don't damage your health for environmentalism, learning to live in new environments, the healing power of open places." - (WildSpeak Totem Dictionary)
We're doing a lot of internal and external maintenance, pulling away from things that aren't as in-line with our values and trying to manage taking care of each other and our chosen families.

May One Card Draw (May 7 2012)
from stonetalker's May One Card Draw
The card is from the Tarot of the Cloisters and is affected by the Fairy Tale Tarot card from the Leap Year Draw mentioned previously (Two of Swords, inverted).
Eight of Swords (inverted)
This combination is showing you that there is a choice to be made and that something is inhibiting you from making it. The Eight (reversed) is showing you that you have to be willing to take the first steps away from this inhibition and into what you want to see happen in your life. Seek support from others if you need it, but keep moving forward. Learn to trust yourself.

April One Card Draw (April 21 2012)
from ariestess' April One Card Draw
I requested general guidance from the Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards deck.
Your card :: Cordelia - Go Outside [reversed]
Cordelia's Message :: Your have been indoors too long. Go outside and get some fresh air.
Don't let your fear of being lost keep you cooped up inside. Take a bold step and step outside, explore the natural beauty of the world around you. Get back in touch with nature.

Other Notes on the Goddess Cordelia
She may be known as the goddess of summer flowers, the Queen of May and a graceful fairy spirit, but Cordelia is no sissy - she teaches you to stand your ground in order for good things to come your way.
MANTRA
Self respect
AFFIRMATIONS
My rights are important
I know what is best for me
It is easy to stand up for myself
I stand firm for what I believe in
I am gracious in my stubborness ;-)
Others respect my decision for my own path
Her Story
Welsh goddess of summer flowers, Cordelia is honoured as the Queen of May and of the fairies. She was the target of ardent attention from suitors competing to win her love.
Her Modern Energy
Cordelia defied her sea-god father's wishes and married the man of her choice. In doing so, she sent a very clear message that despite her flowery and joyful energies, it is good to stand firm so good things can come your way.
You don't need to go so far as to marry someone to emulate Cordelia, but you can become the heroine of your own story and stand your ground in the face of fear, threats or adversity.
Reconnect With Your Inner Cordelia
Go outside and burrow your feet in the ground. Or, if it is too cold where you are, place red flowers on your desk or home to keep her floral energy at a conscious level.
Pssst! Spring 1st moon is a good time to sow seeds for new projects or relationships.
What Would Cordelia Do?
... If she were in your situation, she would stand firm and make choices for her own happiness. While remaining gracious during the process, she wouldn't compromise her well-being for the sake of 'keeping the peace'.

April One-Card Draw (April 10, 2012)
from stonetalker's April One-Card Draw.
The card is from the Tarot of the Cloisters and is affected by the Fairy Tale Tarot card from the Leap Year Draw mentioned previously (Two of Swords, inverted).
Four of Wands
This is the second time that this card has made an appearance today. It is showing you that there are celebrations ahead, but the card is inverted, at the 'quarter past' position, if you like. Yes, the success was very short lived, but there is a more grounded and rooted success coming, you just have to focus on making that choice. If the choice proves inappropriate, change it. Nothing is ever carved in stone.

Leap Year 2-Card Draw (Feb 29 2012)
from stonetalker's leap year 2 card draw. The four-year card (the theme for the next 4 years) is from The Fairy Tale Tarot and month card for March is from Tarot of the Cloisters.
Two of Swords, Ten of Coins
The next four years brings you choices to make when it comes to partnerships and interpersonal relationships. The card is inverted, and I intuit that this is asking you to use this time to choose to get rid of what is not working, choose to get rid of people who are holding you back, and choose to walk your authentic path.
The Ten of Coins shows that you have success coming. As this is your card for March, rather than your long-term card, Id suggest that you watch out for the little blessings, the little victories that come into your life every day. This seems to be more a material success than an emotional one.
After reflection - The March card was quite literal -- fiance and I made about $100 on St Patrick's Day weekend by selling some old iPods. Kind of short-lived financial relief, though.

Bird Oracle (Feb 29 2012)
from wrenstarling's february one card draw using her bird oracle deck, we asked for a card to meditate on.
For you, the Ostrich, the bird of the ingenue. Its huge, beautiful eyes spot predators far away, and its long, lithe legs enable it to run at high speed. The innocent is cleverer than she seems and capable of caring for herself after all. Balance is important, even key.
personal thoughts - whenever someone draws from an animal-based oracle, we tend to go looking at totem information because often that gives us a better idea of where the communication is coming from and towards what.
The general consensus is that ostrich is a reminder to be grounded first before connecting to higher things.
