Two of Wands tarot card meaning – Solar eclipse Taurus May 10

Solar Eclipse in Taurus and Two of Wands – the lovely purifier

It’s funny, it’s two days till the solar eclipse in Taurus and  things have been a little interesting in my life and whilst asking “what is happening now, is this all about lessons?”,  the Two of Wands (out of 78 cards) fell from my tarot deck. Must be my lucky day.

Keywords: balance, personal power, integration, comfort, harmony, creativity, being bold

On top of a castle, a person in an orange robe and a red cap stands holding a globe surrounded by the ocean and lush green landscape. The globe signifies having the world in ones hand, the orange robe shows us the person is steadfast and enthusiatic, the red hat implies a passionate approach and the abundant surrounding express how the person is ready for the adventure and has ample resources and knowledge to go forward.

The two of wands is synonymis with this up and coming eclipse in that it is about new beginings and prosperous undertakings (Taurus). It is a gentle card, as is the eclipse, but possesess a world full of goodness and change.

This tarot card has and underlying influence of creativity. Any ideas that you have been processing or pondering are given a gold star. Feelings may be highlighted when this card arises (as emotions and creativity go hand in hand), it suggests to take notice of them, to embrace them and to use them to help your make decisions, to create from the very core of them. It isn’t necessarily time for action, eclipses and the two of wands are more about allowing information in and begining the energetic process.

Balance is a major focus implied by the two of wands. It may be asking you to look at your life (eclipses are an excellent time to do this also) and to accept that things may need to be changed, what no longer serves us must go. What drains your energy, time, and resources must go – the new tidings need this space to enter.

In love tarot, this card could portend a new person entering your life. It will be a comfortable, rewarding, steadfast relationship that feels light on its feet. You will learn alot about yourself and you have the potential to grow in a nurturing and peaceful environment. It could also poretnd to long term commitment, but it will be from a deeper place of knowing, love and trust that comes with time and/or spiritual consciousness.

If in relation to work or a goal, this card indicates that a new business venture or project you have been romanticising about has the potential for real growth. It suggests, that if its foundations are purposeful and for the better of all, that an easy flowing path will follow.

If in relaton to a struggling business or project it is asking you to re-evaluate and to replan – to grab back some of the enthusiasm and passion that it originated from and the course of events will change and the goal will be fulfilled.

Intention is an important focus here. This card could be asking you to consider your intentions behind your query. Are they sincere, conscious, wise, egoless? Are they for your own good and for the better of the community. Do they serve you and others. If the answer is yes, than your journey will be helped by the universal intelligence and you will experience ease and fortune. If the answer is no then, perhaps you should reconsider.

With this Taurus eclipse and The Two of Wands, beauty is signified. Allow in the beauty, know that the world is your oyster and ensure that your intentions are cohesive to the beauty and richness you desire.

The universe works for the greater good of all and when the Two of Wands tarot card reveals itself it wants you to know that you are about to receive all that you have put out there.

Healing portraits or healing art is an excellent gift to yourself or another. It is something you can keep and adds life and beauty to your home or office space. Myportraits offer not only a great art piece but also a connectedness to self and a great healing process.

As a natural healer the process of drawing someone and creating a image brings the artist into a meditative state drawing them into a deeper connection of the subject. The artist, if a natural intuitive/healer can then create healing thoughout the connection. These drawing and paintings are guided by the universal connectedness that we all share. The artist is able to go into the character on a deeper level and send positive healing vibes. The beauty of the person comes through and this is a special element of the healing portraits.

There is no telling how a healing portraits will turn out, the artist begins with a mediation on the artwork and then draws/paints using the elements they are guided towards. Healing portraits are not predesigned. They are guided by spirit and connection.

 The portrait artist goes into a deep meditative state and connects with the picture provided, can draw upon the deeper personality of the subject. This is the beauty of healing portraits, they complement the inner self. Once drawn or painted they allow the subject to place them for daily viewing. The subject can then connect with that deeper self each time they look upon thier portraits.

Testimonial

I received the portrait package you did and have placed them in most rooms around the house. It has been incredible. Not only is it a lovely and interesting picture, there has been so many changes in me, starting almost immediately.

I look into the picture each night as you suggested and I have found a warmer connection with myself. More acceptance of who I am and have been able to face some major problems in my life. I attribute this to the healing you put into it.

I cannot explain it but, something happens when I do my meditation on the drawing. Like a vibration changes in me. I feel lighter and more  like with myself. I couldn’t thank you enough for this wonderful gift. You are very talented. - Mel – Sydney

Scribblings of a messy heart

Reblogged from West End Art Brisbane:

Walking West End Art

As I walk towards the cutting edges of the flow that is life, I gasp as humans and nature in mysterious union provide a visual delight of accidental street art and I ponder its meaning - the empty pages of a love bound by the complexity of mother nature and her urban concreted pavement. A chapter of movement perhaps toward someplace abundant in green and wise open love.

The Man of Cups surfs throw the waves of life, no longer washed up and lost, past the stages of youthful individualism and into group understanding and wisdom; fearlessly.

The Man of Cups rides the waves openly and masterfully, embracing the reciprical joy of the open arms of the sea, enduring the challanges of the the different moods and movements of the union with life in its fullest. Courageously, with freedom as its driving force, gliding into the complexity of the whole.

The beauty of this is the deeper meaning is love and joy. This man knows love as joy, has passed through the child stages (of faithful and me mentality), the adolecense (individualism), maturing adult (initiation/learning group mentality) Adult (practising group mentality), and has arrived in the group mentaliy of allowing love to spread in all its ease and wonder.

She sat in the stillness unable to sift through the meanings, the dualistic feat, it’s a mean feat; the positive and the negatives igniting in a cullundrum of potentiallity; part particle, part wave, She knew science could never feel. She new words could never explain. She knew she no longer knew. She was left to sit in her heart, excited by the bewilderment. She moved past the unknowing and left the confusion for the confused. She moved towards her true worth, her true love. Knowning she was deserving of adoration, joy, respect, love, nuturing, becasue she knew she was ready to give it in return,  freely.

Growth and evolution cannot come about in rigid self protection or solitude.

Love, career, projects, family, wealth do not come about by standing alone. A sense of openness and trust in group and community will bring forward succes in all adventures. Community cannot flourish with a sense of single mindedness, the whole needs to be nurtured and cared for.

It’s time to spread your wings and move into the adventures and expansion of the whole. Abundance doesn’t grow from from a particle or a wave alone, it grows when the two are observed, accepted and integrated, which then has the potential to form a whole.

But, above all, to understand the the truth of love and union is joy, freedom and the nuturing there of. As a wise person you will live in this truth and ride this wave with giving and receiving as the foundation, living in fullfillment and grace.

The Devil card tarot Meaning

The tarot’s Devil card isn’t all fun and games, or is it?

The poor old Devil always gets a bad rap, why can’t anyone see the nice side of the Devil.  Well, to be honest it could go either way.

Meaningful words: Obsession, addiction, lust, playfulnes, temptation, sex, debauchery, overindulgence, trickery, bondage, breaking free, detachtment.

The Devil traditionally is the bad guy, but that  is a religious conitation. It’s true there are unhealthy characteristics, possible addictions and sometimes even cold, mean spiritedness with the Devil.

But, we must not dismiss the good bits, the advantages, the possiblity of expansion and growth that such a playful and mischevious character can teach us.

The card depicts a beast sitting in a thrown above two lovers in chains. It symbolises being prisoners of thier lust and shameless around pleasure, the devil representing the surrender into addiction, lust, anger and  interpersonal emotional games disguised as love. Here is the real key to the Devil card.

The Devil card could be telling you to take a look at your motives. A warning that you or someone around you may be falling into addictive or abusive behaviours that have the potential for damaging the soul or your life in someway.

It asks you to see beyond the physical joys and look at how you are feeling and if you need to step back and take some time to reflect on your own or someone else’s actions.

Sometimes we need to be detached and sometimes we neeed to fall away from our spiritual righteousnous to regain a sense of humanity, a sense of suffering to remind us of our humilty or base primal intincts. But, it is never healthy to fall in to the trap of addiction or unhealthy living.

This card is drawing to your attention the possibilty that you may be going down the rabbit hole.

It could also be advising you that you or someone you are with, or who is in your environment is not safe. Be warned and take precautions.

Standing aside of the gloom this card has the potential to be advising that you need to let go and explore your sexuality, that perhaps it is time to move away from strict structures and allow a bit of sexual freedom or exploration. It doesn’t have to be addictive and it doesnt always mean destruction.

In the Voyager deck (specifically,) it leans towards an acceptance and understanding of the ncecessity for playfulness and celebrating sexual attraction. Some relationships are sexual in essense. This card can be saying it is ok to go forward with this fun attitude and to not be so serious. On the flip side it could be asking you  to be aware of being too cold or detached in intimate relationships. It all depends on the circumstances sorrounding the querent.

All in all be wary, allow some fun, but be careful of the temptaion to be soulless in a relationship as it may lead to pain and destruction. There is power in letting go and letting be. Seduction can be wonderful if we use mindfulness, openness and dialogue and a caringness.
