This Artisan Life
Some say magic isn't something you do, it's something you are. Others say that their entire life is magical. While this might be correct for them, I would respectfully disagree that this doesn't work for me. I want my magic to be magical; I don't want to have to bring leaky faucets and flat tires into my magical realm. Having said that, there is a chance every moment to do something mystical, to connect with the nature spirits and the ancestors, to honor the old ways, and to walk the crooked path. This blog is about my journey, and how I celebrate the magic in the mundane.
Daily Tarot Exercises
So, remember a few weeks ago when I started using the Tarot to give me a hint on what my body might need from me in the upcoming day? That has actually proved to be quite an interesting exercise (if you will pardon the pun). Not only am I finding that the cards give me clues as to what to expect, but I've actually started to broaden this to different aspects of chores around the house.
Is it crazy to 'predict' what to do? Well, yes. Tarot--like astrology or any other oracle--can give us insights, but it doesn't control us. However, I have found on days when I draw a high energy card, I do tend to get a lot more done in the house as far as mundane chores go, than if I drew something more relaxed.
Just to shift things around a bit, I started drawing the card in the evening, to see if it provided a summary of the daily events. Yes, it's possible to make things fit, but the synchronicity was just too interesting to write everything off as coincidence.
Has anyone else tried this since I first blogged about it? What were your findings? Did the card help to guide you to staying more physically fit? I'd be very interested to know if it has worked for anyone else, or if it's just some oddball quirk of my eccentric life!
