Huomenta!
Eilen oli aprillipäivä. Aprillasitko? Minä en...Joka tapauksessa nyt ollaan jo huhtikuussa. Kevät tulee kohisten, täällä meillä aurinko paistaa ja maa on pikkuisen jäässä. Viikonloppuna pitäisi vaihtaa talvirenkaat pois alta ja muutenkin olisi tarkoitus aloitella kevätsiivousta.
Katsotaan nyt kuitenkin, mitä Maataika kortit haluavat näyttää meille.
Lähimenneisyys: SUMMER SOLSTICE
“The word solstice originates from the Latin world solstitium,
which means “stationary or stopped (stiti-) sun (sol).” This is because
twice during the solar year, the sun appears to rise and set in the same
place for several days. It seems to be taking a much-needed rest before
making the next circuit across the sky from one solstice to the next –
its ceaseless, predictable certainty having existed since before the
time of our ancestors. There are stories in many cultures that personify
the sun as a deity, either male or female, often riding the sun across
the sky in a boat or chariot.
With the summer solstice comes the culmination of the sun’s
travels that have led to the longest days of the year. The light is now
at its fullest and has provided its own brand of nourishment to the land
and all of its inhabitants. Celebrations and ceremonies abound. Passion
and playfulness are themes. We feel an innate desire to be outdoors in
the natural world and reap the benefits of the longest days of the year.
We instinctually seek the light, and during this cycle, there is an
abundance of it.
Let the radiance of the sun inspire your inner radiance to shine
forth. Release your concerns about what may happen in the future, and
focus on appreciating everything you have that is good and right. Allow
Farther Sun to take away your worries and cares. Do something physically
active to stimulate your inner light. Dance. Sing. But most important,
get outdoors. Do not let any negative thoughts or habits stop you.
When you are in love with Life, you naturally radiate that love.
During this part of your cycle, your capacity to love is greatly
amplified. In one of those supreme ironies of Life, the more love you
give, the more returns to you. It starts by allowing the radiant Being
you truly are to be expressed into the world. Smile a little more.
Notice the beauty of Nature. See the humour in the paradoxes of Life.
Show your love, especially to those with whom you are closest. Then
smile even more, and watch how the world around you lights up!”

Tämä hetki: ICEBERG
“Up to 90 percent of an iceberg’s body is below the surface,
deeply submerged in the bosom of Grandmother Ocean. Yet Grandmother
allows considerable freedom for her enormous children and grandchildren,
permitting them to move about as dictated by the currents and their own
momentum. Having broken off from a glacier or ice shelf, they float
along the sea, much to the detriment of vessels that attempt to traverse
their passageways.
Most of us have heard stories of ill fated ships that have had
tragic encounters with these ice mountains. Although the topmost portion
of an iceberg can easily be seen, there is still a massive amount of
its body below the water that may be difficult to detect. And that which
remains unseen can fool us and perhaps even be dangerous and damaging.
Whatever you suppress or deny and attempt to keep out of
conscious awareness will show up somewhere and somehow. These are your
shadow aspects. At one time, you put them out of your consciousness for
good reason, yet they remain contained by shame and guilt. Sometimes
these submerged aspects of yourself are projected onto others so that
they mirror those denied or suppressed parts of you, and you may even
harshly judge these characteristics when they are exhibited.
Now is the time to allow these elements to surface and embrace
them. These may make up some sort of self-expression, a secret dream you
wish to accomplish, or even uglier aspects that are difficult to
acknowledge or accept. Whatever you have submerged deep inside of you,
this is your opportunity to pay attention to those things and welcome
them to the family called “you.”

Lähitulevaisuus FAIRIES
“Fairies are Nature spirits thought to be descended from the early
tribes – particularly the Tuatha de Danann, those associated with the
goddess Dana, who once ruled ireland – that inhabited the British Isles.
Over time, these ancient people were conquered and displaced; and they
fled to areas where humans didn’t venture, ultimately becoming
increasingly smaller and less visible in order to better hide themselves
Fairies have assumed responsibility for the plants and trees (or
Standing Ones). They work with Earth Magic to take care of these beings,
and if you ask, they will help you with your garden or yard. They also
have the power of enchantment and shapeshifting.
Fairies appreciate it when we show them through our actions that we
love the Earth as much as they do; and consequently, they bestow a
little of their Earth Magic upon us.
You have the same power available to you as the fairies do. It starts
with loving the Earth through your heartfelt gratitude and
appreciation, but more important, through you r actions. The fairies can
help you reconnect in a more intimate way with the Earth, and all they
require is your willingness to pay attention to the trees and plant life
around you, and demonstrate you care.
Whether you life in a small space or have an expanse of land, make it
a point to be especially attentive to your surrounding vegetation.
Plant something. Get your hands in the dirt and do so with love and
enthusiasm. Every flower, tree, or shrub you are tending is a living
being, so treat each like you would a dear friend. Ask the fairies to
help you take care of these friends, and you will be rewarded many times
over.”

Mielenkiintoiset kortit! Saimme tulen ja jään! Positiivisuutta, uuden aloittamista, mutta myös vähän harkintaa sillä jäävuori on tuntemattoman suuri vedenpinnan alla. Aurinkokortti kehottaa laulamaan ja tanssimaan tai jotakin, mistä pidän? Miksi juuri sen löytäminen on ollut niin vaikeaa? Aloittaa sellainen tekeminen, mistä pidän...
Lähitulevaisuuteen tulee keijukaiset. Nämä irlannista kotoisin olevat pienet ihanuudet. Eikö ollutkin ihana keijukaiskortti lähtitulevaisuuteen? Istuta jotakin? Keväät on uuden istuttamisen aikaa. Olen suunnitellut meneväni käymään mökillä, ja siellä voisi vaikka muutaman kukkasipulin maahan!
Mukavaa viikonloppua Sinulle!
