Tarot Card of the Day: Five of Wands

From the Witches Tarot deck by Ellen Dugan

In this card, I see a lot of posturing and argument. There are dragons flying about everywhere, and the knights riding them are brandishing their wands like swords. But there are flowers on the ends of the wands... the weapons are more for show than for deadly force. Someone has to stop these dragon-riders from arguing and get them to work together.

The Five of Wands is a card full of strife. There has been a lot of bickering and annoyance, and it's holding you back. You can't hide from it anymore. Five of Wands says it's time to deal with the frustrations, remove the blocks and the anxiety that are in your path, and release your magic into the world.

This is a great card to draw just after the Winter Solstice. The anxiety and frustrations you experience in the dark will be banished by the return of the light, but only if you're willing to make the effort.

Tarot Card of the Day: The Tower

From Ellan Dugan's Witches Tarot Deck

I drew this card this morning and laughed at the way the universe always seems to know exactly what I need, even when I don't know enough to ask for it. What a way to start off the Seeking Everyday Magic blog!

Change is coming and there's no way to avoid it. Everything that you have built up until now, your ego, your expectations, the spiritual and emotional blocks in your path, is going to be torn down in one lightning quick moment of insight. Change is inevitable, but it's not to be feared. The fire inside the tower cleanses as much as it destroys. So even though you're feeling the fear and adrenaline of an unavoidable upheaval and the pain that can sometimes come with it, breathe, center, because something new and powerful is about to be released into the world.
