Every year I do a yearly Tarot & Oracle card forecast. This time I decided to mix several decks into the reading and really dive deep into the monthly work. I purchased my first Tarot deck back in the 90's called The Spirit of Herbs by Candis Cantin & Michael Tierra. Little did I know that the authors would be some of many of my herbal teachers along my Herbal Journey.
Juicy January: Herbal Tarot
Cayenne V111 Strength
"By using the strength of love the woman is able to push over the blockages and resistances she encounters within herself and within her life. Her internal fires and the healing heart energy are her tools."
It has been a very long journey these past several years with surgeries and loss. This card is so perfect for me right now.
Red Cloak- Fiery energy and spirit. I decided to change my bedspread to red & black, burn red candles and was guided to work with Almandine Garnet & I always work with Rose Quartz. Garnet is a great grounding tool and supports the root chakra. Brings a sense of security and strength. It is an Iron Silicate which helps with the liver and blood. So what I need. The liver holds anger, regulates hormones and is our power house of detoxification. Rose Quartz so gentle & loving. It makes me feel safe, loved & supported. Helps with the Heart Chakra. Opens one up to self-love and all other forms of Love.
Her hat symbolizes the infinity symbol, the figure 8. With the help from the infinite, it will help with manifesting clear and creative ideas. Moving and Breathing into the eternal spin of the earth. One way to get into this spin frequency is to Hoop and Poi. Moving your body in this space can open you wide open. Something that I have discovered on my healing journey. Yet, another story to be told.
I was guided to drink the Master Cleanse Tea. I'm not doing the cleanse, just drinking the lemon drink. I used to do this cleanse a couple of times a year when I was younger. Now, I just incorporate the drink throughout the year. You can find out more about it here http://themastercleanse.org Lemon, Water, Maple Syrup and Cayenne. I've been drinking this hot and drinking lots of Lemon water through out the day. A great way to clear up stagnation and cleanse the liver and helps with digestion. Everything I need while traversing this Menopausal road. I also use sliced lemons in my bath & foot baths with epsom salt, seaweed and herbs.
Incense this month is:
Dragon's Blood. A powerful protector and adds potency to what you are manifesting. Great to use for grounding work and root chakra healing. There are many species of Dragon's Blood the one I'm holding is from the endangered (which I learned about later) Dracaena Cinnabari tree and not to be confused with Dracaena draco, the sap is bright red and looks like blood. The smell is intoxicating and sexy.
My Affirmation for the month:
"I affirm the strength of my heart. My Power is one with Divine Spirit."
Meditation for the month:
I really love Elizabeth Harper's work from Sealed with Love.
