Myth and Tarot

New treasure haul alert! Ceramic 3 place incense/smudge/palo santo plates. Coming in blue/teal, red, black and as the Chinese label says, 'white spots'.

These plates are a great way to burn your incense, hold your sage or burn your palo santo safely. I'm sitting here at the moment as a nag champa incense stick is happily burning away on my side table in the loungeroom and am quietly pleased with how it looks and is working.

I realised that you could also burn incense powder in the smaller, (or larger given your tastes), cups you'd place the smudge or palo santo, so I've invented a 4th use! If you wanted a 5th use, drop a charcoal tablet into the bigger cup and sprinkle incense powder on it for a good 45 minute burn if that's what you're after!

Pricing. Ceramic plates on their own are $25. I've also put together a bundle deal that is 10% off compared to individual pricing.
In the bundle, you'll get:
1 ceramic incense plate
1 pack of Om incense, your choice of scent
1 small white sage OR dragon's blood/white sage
1 stick of Palo santo
1 Traditional incense powder, your choice of scent.
Price for this bundle is $44.

Have a look through the photos, if you've got any questions or queries, or would like either a bundle pack or just a plate, don't hesitate to comment or send a message.

Friday funny: why wait for a date! I'd do a haunted cardigan crawl. You'd get on a bus and tour op shops and then it'd finish at Cardigan Village just outside Ballarat because I believe everyone obviously wears cardigans there.

Cats and Tarot Tuesday finds us with the six of swords from the Tarot de la Nuit. We're being asked to leave things behind with this card. We might not want to but we do have to. Think of it as one door closing and another opening, though at this moment We're still looking at the door that's closed and haven't noticed what's ahead. It is going to be better, at the moment all the feels are stopping us from seeing that. Be sad for what was, look forward to what will be.

Friday funny: Irene was always ready to go early in the morning. The cats I think had a small window mid afternoon, lol.

Just thought I'd share the unexpected treasure I got today while out and about. Was sitting looking lonely on a shelf it didn't belong on, so it came home to join the books here. 1924 is where you can see the moving version of the art in this book. All hand drawn and animated as well. My kunzea tea by Roogenic adding warmth and a little relief to some of my bones.

Cats and Tarot Tuesday finds Sita from the Hindu epic Ramayana representing the two of swords. Card was reversed but I photograph upright.

Known for her strength, courage and virtue, Sita is depicted here caught between two choices. Weighing up which way she is going to go. The water in the background let's us know the heart, (emotions), are involved and the Moon means intuition needs to be accessed. This is not just a hard headed choice. Her eyes are closed because she can't see her way through at the moment.

In reverse, the card is looking inside us. The turmoil is within, we're really not sure which is the best choice. It's going to take a bit longer to sort through where we actually head. How does each choice make us feel? Can we see the outcomes for each choice and where we could end up? Concentrate on what you'll gain rather than others as we're looking inward.

We're being asked to sit with the choices before taking steps, it's daunting because of the what ifs, but that's why there's the pause for now; a chance to really sort through what's best for us before making that move.

Sunday oracle sees Jesus pop up out of the Ascended masters oracle. Busy week for birthdays and an actual birth, so this card can fit in between all the Leo energy that is my family.

Open your heart to love has many applications. From opening your own heart after hurt or taking armor off that's designed to protect against the world. This card also talks about forgiveness of yourself, others. It can even be a reminder to sit with your heart chakra, moving on old energy and refilling it with new. You already know what to do with this message, it's now just a case of enacting it as sometimes, we're not wanting to expose our hearts and it can be easy not to allow it to glow brightly in case those that see it want to take advantage.

Be gentle with yourself and others.

Friday funny: Kevin! Not again!
