If you are not a FB friend of mine, you may be wondering…hmmm…when did the Avett Brothers write song called Pick a pile? Is that the newest single? No. In addition to my “regular” job as a teacher, I also read tarot and oracle cards on the side. I started doing what is called “Pick a Pile” readings where I display 3 piles and people pick their pile for this week’s message from Spirit. This week the focus was on what the Divine wants to you to know about your situation (up to the person picking to think of one). I tried posting the explanations of each pile on FB, but I wasn’t able to write as much as I wanted. So, I’ve decided to post the messages here. During the school year, I will do these about once a week. However, if I’m on break (5 more school days…yes!) I probably will do 2 or 3. I’m sorry to interrupt the great inspirations I get from Scott and Seth, but they’re God-fearing boys so I don’t think they’d mind (Or they may think I’m a satanist for using oracle cards so they may be quite upset. But since they in all likelihood will never see this page, I’m willing to take the chance.)
Here are the messages for the people who picked pile #1:
3 of Cups- Take the time to celebrate with family and friends. There is no need for an official holiday or reason to celebrate. Just be thankful and rejoice for the blessings in your life are only just beginning.
9 of Raphael- Go ahead and make a wish about your situation because this is the Wish Card of the tarot. It talks about dreams coming true and everything working out for the good of all involved. You will have a reason to kick back and have some fun very soon. This card harbors good news in all areas.
0- New Beginnings- The wish you made leads to new beginnings in your life. Your only caution is to be confident as you make a leap of faith into your future. Look for the opportunity that you have been waiting for and seize it even though there will be some unknowns.
Overall message: Whatever situation you inquired about, things are very positive and you will soon be starting a new phase in your life.
For those people who picked pile #2, here are your messages:
17- Temperance- For such a spooky looking card, there is a positive message. Recently you had a need for balance in the area of your life you inquired about. Do you see that red flower in the foreground? That symbolizes potential and new growth in the situation. If there is still a lack of balance in this situation, strive to find a way to even the scales. Be assured that once you do that, a breakthrough will be on the horizon.
5- Divine Guidance- Another thing for you to work on in order for this breakthrough to occur is to listen to your intuition. Spirit is currently trying to speak to you through that little voice or urging you feel inside. Take the time to ask the angels to send you a sign if you need it. They are just waiting to help but cannot do that until you ask them.
8 of Wands- Accelerated Motion- Once you do get your sign and follow that advice from the Divine, be prepared for rapid success. You have a time of great progress ahead of you if you follow what you already know is the right thing to do. If you have been frozen with fear over the outcome, don’t hesitate to take that first step. Once you do, you will have the spirit of the Divine pushing you forward.
Overall message: Talk to the Divine (i.e. pray, meditate, journal) about your problem and listen for the answer that is coming your way.
And last but not least, here are the messages for those who picked pile #3:
6 of Swords- You are leaving a very difficult situation or time period of your life. This card looks gloomy and spooky but it actually signifies a time of healing going on in your life. You are making the decision to leave the past hurts and heading to the future with hope in your heart. Although you may not have made this difficult decision yet, you know deep in your heart it is the right thing to do.
4- The Emperor- 4 is a number signifying stability and prosperity in your life. Once you have made that decision to move on, what is waiting for you is a stable situation where you will actually be the one who has the power. Don’t be afraid to make ambitious plans because Spirit is supporting you. The only warning is to don’t become so rigid that there is no room for flexibility. Think about the palm tree. It stands upright and tall but is able to sway with the wind. You can do the same with the winds of change going through your life.
9- Material Harvest- This card pretty much says it all. You will be having a time of increased finances and blessings. If you can manage that balance of strength and flexibility, you will be lead to abundance in all areas, especially if your situation dealt with finances or career. Just as the man’s pose indicates, open your arms to the blessings coming your way and give thanks as always.
Overall message: The bad times are behind you so face the future confidently for you have so much to look forward to.
Don’t forget these are general readings for lots of people so they won’t give the same guidance as a private session.
