Morgan's Tarot Monday

PIGS AND FISHES SURROUND YOU

"Pigs and fishes represent those aspects most difficult to influence in the polychromatic bubble of dualism"
"It is also said that this card means inner truth."



I actually like this card, despite the fact

The Path

"The path begins in the middle and stretches as fat as the eye can see, beyond the desert, into the mountains in the south-east. From there it joins Interstate 10 and leaves it again about a quarter of a mile beyond the third rest stop.

IT'S A DOG EAT DOG FOOD WORLD

"In the realm of constant concern about how to survive, it's nice to know the methods, but being in that realm is

SOMEWHERE, THERE IS AN ENERGY LEAK

Check the pipe connection of the source northeast of Samarkand. If it's not there we can still come out in Oaxacn.


Actually, we have an infinite amount of energy from which to draw. In the same way, there are an infinite number of redwood trees. Though it may be true that "if you've seen one redwood tree you've seen them all," somewhere there is another redwood tree quite similar to the one destroyed. Unfortunately, it is in the seventeenth dimension of a universe zibbly times distant from ours. But if you know how to solve the transportation problem, there is no problem.


I truly feel we are wasting our precious resources and generally take our planet for granted. Take the Gulf oil spill for example...so much devastation and needless loss of wildlife, sea life and the livelihood of those that make their living from those industries. Our natural world is suffering at our hands and those in position of power seem to do nothing. What can you do today, no matter how small, to improve the world in which we live?

"It is not what you do that counts, it is where your head is at"

"Negative feelings or emotions are useless in themselves. Negative attitudes can become positive if one realizes that it is not actions or deeds in themselves that have value, but rather the way one feels. This is not to say actions can be independent of feelings. Harmful actions breed negativity."

"In general, a positive attitude brings more favorable results and as long as you can be objective, your circumstances will not make you anxious or depressed. You have the power to remove negative feelings and replace them with positive ones."

Like the reason for giving, if you give because you look more charitable in the eyes of others, your motivations are totally wrong. No one likes a "martyr" or "look how gracious I am" character, lose the ego and give because it feels good to help that individual or charity out and because it makes you feel good inside to lift a burden from another's shoulders and bring a smile to their face.

"How can I share what I have with someone else this week, because it makes me feel good?"

And there I was...SURROUNDED

Surrounded by the various and sometimes bizarre creatures of nature, I received a message. It said: "You and the earth are one".


In the center of this card is a large flower surrounded by other smaller flowers, how often as we go about our busy days do we stop and take notice or appreciate the sheer beauty of nature whether intricate in design or even a bit on the bizarre side ( duck billed platypus, I rest my case). Every living thing is a part of the Universe and therefor divine, the spirit moves through us all...plant, tree, flower, stone and human. 

Take time out and notice all that is in nature, how complete and perfect it is.

Messages Monday

On Monday a message will come, revealing what your next move should be in carrying out the master plan. Your situation will become clearer.

Well, this is an interesting card! How funny, it's Monday too...I'm going to draw another card to see just what the message today is.....


Don't worry, you can DO NO WRONG

In the context of a reading, this card often means that you cannot fail in your present situation. Whatever you decide to do will benefit the project you have in mind.

The present confusion is part of a divine plan.


Wow...Ok, let's see here...This card is the message, alright...What I hear the cards saying is similar the the Six of Wands... recognition, a pat on the back...a small victory, recognition for a job well done. I have been trying to get my herb garden planted for a little over a week now but so far the weather has been less than cooperative...thunderstorms, hail and gusty winds, torrential rain... As it is, things are are not advancing as they should but maybe I need to just ride out the delays (even if it seems like the weather will not be sunny anytime soon) because I know I will get it done and it will turn out better than I had planned and I just may garner a compliment or two.


*Note to Self: Stay away from SuperCuts this week.

Who is watching the cosmic drama?

Some answers: 

(a) You (b) Me (c) It hasn't started yet. (d) We (the gods such as the Greek gods on Olympus) invented the drama for kicks and then forgot who we were and started believing that it is real.

Like the "Who Am I?" and the "What Are You Feeling Now?" cards, this card is a meditative tool for increasing awareness.

Drama...In my little world, I like to avoid it like the plague but sometimes it just seems to creep in when it's least expected. I can remember vividly, a time when I was just seven or eight...my mom and I were in Sears I believe and I witnessed a kid around the same age having a tantrum to put all others to shame. I thought to myself, I bet if they could see themselves they would be terribly embarrassed! I know some adults act that way too.

Why don't the police have the authority to hand out  "Stupidity Tickets?"

 

Morgan's Tarot Monday

Last year, I was reading one of my favorite blogs, Tarot Dame's Blog and noticed a really cool deck that she was using for that week's draws...it was called Morgan's Tarot. Like I did when I saw Tarot of the Magical Forest on her website, I immediately emailed her and asked where she got that fascinating deck with all the funky drawings and words and she cheerfully told me the name but unfortunately, that it was no longer in print anymore.

 Like the pig headed soul I am, I searched and searched with only one deck to find that I could purchase...for nearly $200.00! I sighed rather defeated and came to the conclusion that I will only be able to admire it from a distance. The Universe, however, works in mysterious ways and Tarot Dame got in touch with me to let me know that U.S. Games was once again going to publish this curious deck..I was pretty darned excited I tell ya!

Morgan's Tarot is a deck of 88 rather unusual cards with messages from "Try to Relax" to "I Come From a Different Planet." In the LWB that accompanies these cards it's introduction states...

"Out of the mystic sixties and into the tantric eighties speeds an unusual vehicle called "Morgan's Tarot." Created to transmit New Age consciousness and energy, Morgan's Tarot was Inspired by various spiritual traditions, especially Tibetan Buddhism, but most of the cards reflect direct experience." 

Well, I thought to myself, that's really kind of an odd introduction but I gotta tell ya, this deck is fun! I immediately got this wacky idea that each Monday, I would draw one card to represent the rather existential influences of that particular week and call it "Morgan's Tarot Monday" So with no further ado...Welcome to my inaugural post!

Card of the Week:

From the accompanying booklet:


BE CAREFUL GOING AROUND CURVES

A common highway sign found in English-speaking countries.

For the astral traveler, a warning not to dip too low.

I sat quite a while trying to think of just what this may mean...was it a deep meaningful but just beyond reach thought meant to open up the consciousness or was it simply as it said, be careful going around curves? I Googled the phrase and looked at all the listed reasons of why to be careful going around curves and came to the conclusion that it in most part it's to avoid getting banged up by whatever may be laying in wait just beyond said curve. 


Maybe, metaphorically speaking, during our busy days we get to speeding along our various directions with places to go, people to see and things to do that we forget the most important advice...pay attention and watch where we are going, lest we end up knocking over who or what is just beyond the other side of the curve and quite possibly cause injury to both parties...


Who or what can I avoid knocking over or running into this week?
