Sacred Sites Oracle cards

-

 This deck  is an oracle deck split into categories.. Different places within the world  separated because of there vicinity to each other, to their continent,   Because of the Ethnicity. the Direction .... I need to explore this deck more in depth  to get a better understanding of the cards and the categories ...  

Today we begin with Mount Tai 

I want to begin by looking at the image ..
What do I see? 
Yin Yang, The Sun, a statue, a temple with long steps going down between the mountains into what appears as water, swirling ... there appears to be a dragon type creature  in green and orange ..  

With these cards the bottom appears in the past , the middle of the card in the present while the top of the card appears in the future ... 
So with that in mind my initial thoughts re this card speaks of balance in the past, a sense of  fortune to be had ...You may have had an emotional time   yet at the moment you find yourself  trying to climb through some obstacles, delays  to reach  something sacred to find happiness, joy and inner peace. to see what could be exposed to the light ....  

Time to look in the Book ..
The Direction of East ..
Country: Shandong,  China 

Keywords - Energy, Focus, achievement, 
In the Past, The Ying Yang symbol speaks of  perfect balance...   while the Dragon represents Wisdom, power and good fortune , a positive perspective.  

In the Present,  There are some questions to ask yourself....Seeing all of those steps are you deterred from reaching the top?  Have you had a clear run to the top or taken to meandering paths to explore different teachings along the way? Have you had a difficult journey or still waiting at the bottom of the mountain steps?  Are you willing to seek a different perspective?  Walk the same path as everyone else? or choose your own path?  

Now we look at the Potential, Kwan Yin at the top speaks of Mercy offering, sympathy, compassion and insight. Call upon chosen Deity for guidance and support on your journey. This is the time to keep going.. to be encouraged to not give up .. All is possible when you give it a go...  

In the book there is a prayer to Kwan Yin ...

An arduous journey I have walked and though I 
question what's been taught, 
I take courage by the strength in me, 
I know I can change what I can see
or Yang must again be joined by Yin
to find the light, allow darkness in
to raise the goddess and see her in all, I need
not let the good side fall.
Kwan Yin come take a walk with me, be my light
so I may see
Steady my resolve so I needn't stop and help me reach my mountain top.

APHRODISIAS 
We begin by seeing two swans together gazing into each other's eyes , shaped like a heart it speaks of love , romance ...  Next the symbol of Venus  a reminder of  Passion  ...  
Next we see the Temple ..a place of worship, a sacred place where love, sexuality is embraced.. A place of purity within it's own love ...  
The potential  shows a Goddess naked reminded us  that instead of being covered up , how important it is to embrace one's own body..  Maybe we feel the need to cover up ... 

Next : 
VARANASI
Here we see Ganesh - remover of Obstacles .. a sense of wisdom gained, prosperity arrives when challenges are dealt with .. 
Next the bustling city, a community connected by  the Sacredness within ... 
The Goddess Holds a pot in each hand, to me this seemed to speak of balance  in some way  ...  

FROM THE BOOK 
APHRODISIAS 
Location: Aydin Province, Turkey 
Keywords: Energy Focus- Love 
Past speaks about The Greek Goddess Aphrodite, the place dedicated to passion, , love and beauty. 
The Swans represent being bound together.  The 5 petaled White Rose - Romance. Venus- The Roman Goddess of Love  asks you are receptive to love , opening your heart to love.  This reminds us we are all worthy of love even if we have felt heartbreak. 

In The Present- A Sacred Site dedicated to Love. Love of the Divine, , of others and of themselves. 
Rituals , Fertility Rites, flowing passion, Belly dancing and Sexual acts of worship. Embrace your feminine sexuality. Become both Mother and lover. 
This asks us about healing our feelings of abandonment, asks who denied us love?  Who striped you bare of your temple ?  

The Potential of our love speaks of embracing our sexuality, loving our own body, being completely with another. Do not be embarrassed. Be open!

Glastonbury 
North- Somerset, England ...
Focus Energy : Blossoming 

When first looking at this card  I thought it may have been about a sense of emotions, a love on some level , an awakening , a connection.. 
I see a Woman with a bowl, an owl... The Tor upon the hill surrounded by the Zodiac signs.. Antlers upon the Tor to me speaking of stamina and strength, endurance, fertility ...

From the Book we see the Maiden with the Holy Grail speaking of the past  connecting to the Divine Feminine, awakening to one's own psychic abilities ..
In the present we see the Owl who asks What is stopping you from awakening within right now?  
With the Potential knowing there is a possibility to bringing knowledge, wisdom into fruition and understanding

There are many ways to read this Spread.. Trust in how you choose to read it . This is one variation ...  Let us begin  by looking at the centre card 1) The Rider - News .. there is some news on it's way, what type of News, let's see what the other cards say, to modify the card related to the News ...  We look to the Left and we see Letter - so we know the news may be written .. To the right A Woman - is the written news from a woman or to the woman?    Above The Stars - maybe it is Spiritual  News on some level ...  Underneath - The Bear - Could be related to a Mother or are you the Mother... Is the news in regards to strength or protection on some level ?   Now let's look at the four corners-  The Scythe  With the Rider and the Road  So maybe it is important you let go of something so you can make a decision in regards to the news?   You have Key Rider and Clover ...

How I Connect With The Cards...

-
The Way I Connect with the Cards, the messages as individuals for each person. Knowing that each person is so different from another... I understand that everyone is different, All Readers read differently. They may use tools or no  tools . They may use Cards, Runes, I-Ching, Tea-leaves, palms and crystals.. You may even find a reader that connects with jewelry. There are so many ways a reader will read for a client. Even card readers read differently from each other, Some use Tarot, Oracle, or even Lenormand Cards, Others will use playing cards, they use specifically for Readings. You may find some readers read the cards to set meanings and others use them as Gateways to connect with their Spirit Guide to receive individual messages.  There is no One Correct way. There are no blanket rules in regards to how a reader should read.  You may find some readers connect to the Angels and Archangels before and during the reading.  You may find  Tarot and other Card readings sim

Understanding the messages within A few of the Cards

-
Image
Let us begin with the notion that  the cards are ink and paper, created by artists who wish to share a story. The Story developed over time with characters, symbols, colours. Images that allow one to open up within themselves. These are cards that offer both positive and negative aspects of our life.  Each and every card holds both types of messages within them.  I know there are cards like XVI The Tower and XV The Devil  that people gasp at horror and expect negative messages,  X Swords, III Swords are also images that hold people in terror,,, and because of movies  XIII Death  people  think it means Death ....Literal death. In this post I am going to explain the positive messages of these cards.  Let us begin with XII Death... This card only speaks of Transformations, changes, a sense of purification, Spiritual and healing. Letting go of the negative aspects of life and moving into the light (so to speak) , Moving forward as you leave behind the past.   This can be a good

Why Do Readers Read Cards Differently?

-
Image
Each Deck is so Different .. There are many different Tarot decks designed by many different amazing individuals… Every deck is perfect in it’s own way… Some images speak louder than others, that is because we as readers are all very different, we are individuals that like and are drawn to different artwork… Also our thoughts processors are individualized.  Our perceptions are individualized.  No one sees the same image in the same card. Different colours, characters, symbols stand out for each of us. That is why you will find different Tarot readers deliver the same messages in a different way.  And sometimes it can take awhile to make sense of a reading.. We as Tarot Readers have to interpret what we see… With our experiences in life so different from each other we interpret things quite differently… I understand there are suggestions in how we read Tarot and there are basic keywords ,  trying to memorise what someone else sees can drive one crazy… I find what works for one re

The Fool, The Student of Life, The Novice, The Young Adventurer, The Dreamer, The Prankster, The Joker ....as He steps out of the darkness into the light, along a path of gravel, He steps through the grass and sees a lone tree ...
