Seven of Pentacles

September 2, 2019 by Anna

Seven of Pentacles from Everyday Witch

The Seven of Pentacles guides us through the week of September 2nd to 8th 2019.

Sevens often express an in between energy, a time to pause, dig deeper, reflect and contemplate options.

The suit of Pentacles is associated with the element of Earth.
Here we are rooted, practical, efficient. We work for what we want. We do what needs to be done. We also take good care of our body and take time to do what makes us happy. We appreciate beauty, comfort and stability. With Earth the focus is on  health, work, finance, property and lineage.

As I look at this card I get a feeling of abundance.
The lady is well dressed, but she also wears an apron. She is relaxing with a book and a glass of wine, but she is also carefully inspecting the growing grapes.
The garden is lovingly cared for and producing grapes and pentacles.

Diligent work and persistence are producing great results.

This week will see you busy and productive.
Take pride from what you do and continue to do it well.
Work or study hard , but also take time to relax and have some fun. You earned it.

Keep up the good work, you are on the right track.

This week you may also be considering your options.
Are you happy where you are and with what you have?

Do you feel is time to challenge yourself a bit more?
How and where would you like to expand or grow?

Where would you like to invest your time and energy?

Seven of Swords.

August 5, 2019 by Anna

Seven of Swords from Everyday Witch Tarot.

The Seven of Swords
is the card guiding us through the week of August 5 to 11 2019.

As I look at the figure in the card I get a feeling of danger as well as secrecy.

Is the person stealing or is she running away quietly?

The way she is holding the swords is protective, possessive and potentially harmful at the same time.

She is looking at the two swords hanging high in the bookcase.
Should she take those two also? Or is she questioning her own action?

Her cape is blowing ahead of her, giving me the impression that the wind is pushing her in the direction she is going.

What does it all mean?

The number Seven is abut conflict, introspection and pause. We are not where we want to be yet.

Swords is Air which represents challenges, integrity, communication, thinking and strategy.
The main concern of Air is clarity and identity.

The appearance of the Seven of Swords suggests we keep our senses alert.

Someone is hiding information from us, deceiving us or trying to get away with something.

Are you that person? If so, why are you hiding your thoughts and actions?

What are you trying to do? Why the secrecy?

Who are you hiding from?

What do you think will happen if or when your actions become known?

Is the goal worth the consequences?
The blowing cape reinforces the idea of Air , the presence of wind and the sense of speed.

Timing is an important factor.
There is a small window of opportunity to act.

If you are thinking of leaving a job, a relationship or a place, do it now. It will be easier than later on.

Last but not least, sometimes keeping a low profile (short term) is the safe thing to do.

Lot’s to think about as we begin the week.

Be alert, be safe and be clear on what your motives are.

How much does the deck I use affect my reading?

August 5, 2014 by Anna

How much does the deck I use affect my reading?

In my case, a lot.

That is why at the very beginning of a reading I let my client pick one.

Right now my clients have eight options. I own several more decks, but some I only use for myself.

Why? Confidence. With some decks I have a strong reliable bond.
Those are the decks I use for my clients.
Others I find good for philosophical / spiritual questions only.
A few, beautiful as they may be, just don’t speak to me.
Last, any new deck I get, I only use for my self for a little while.
I do that in order to get to know the deck and the way it communicates.

Most times I will only take out four of those eight decks.
Why? In order not to overwhelm my client with options and to save time.

Now let’s say I displayed those eight decks in front of you.

 

The Sacred Rose Tarot, Radiant Rider- Waite, Legacy of the Divine, Universal, The Gilded, Robin Wood, Druid Craft, Gaian Tarot

The Sacred Rose Tarot, Radiant Rider- Waite, Legacy of the Divine, Universal, The Gilded, Robin Wood, Druid Craft, Gaian Tarot

How do you pick one?
I suggest you don’t over think it.
Just look at the decks. They will all be displaying the same card, The Fool. Look at them like you would any other painting.
Which one calls to you?
Which one would you want to take home with you?

Once you have made your choice we can begin.

Now let me explain why I want you to pick the deck.

Each Tarot card has many meanings and many layers.
The way I select one meaning over the other comes from a combination of things.

Question, position in the spread, surrounding cards and the images themselves.

 

 

 

Let’s say I am looking at the 7 of Swords.

7 of swords Here we have a few samples.
Legacy of the Divine Tarot and Radiant Rider-Waite on the very top, Gaian Tarot in the middle and Sacred Rose Tarot and Druid Craft Tarot on the bottom.
Same card but expressed in different ways.
It is my belief that the image in front of me will speak to my intuition and I will read it accordingly.
Let me give you an example, a fast one. Just a snap shot.

The first card on the top, shows someone breaking through a window. My first impression is a warning of danger. Something fishy is going on. Someone may try to reap you off.

In the second one, someone is sneaking out of a village holding too many swords and I a way that in real life would cause him some injuries. He is also leaving some swords behind, which the villagers may later use against him. Swords represent the element of Air, meaning rational thinking and communication. Someone here is making plans that will affect others without letting them know. He knows they would not approve and he does not want to discuss it. Eventually when his action will come to light he will have a lot of explaining to do and amends to make.

The card in the middle, from the Gaian deck, shows someone looking at a map. Here I would say the guy is contemplating his next move. He does not know yet what that will be. He is looking at the map to figure it out.

In the next card we see someone sitting down. He seems to be under attack, but he holds his hand up. To me he is calling for calm and for time. He is not ready to engage just yet.

In the last card we see an old man working late. From his expression I would say he is formulating a plan with a lot of care.
He is taking his time to do it right.

I could write about each card for a very long time, but you get the meaning, I hope.

7 of swords in The Druid Craft Tarot deck and R.W.S.

February 28, 2012 by Anna

I recently purchased the Druid Craft Tarot deck.
I am not a collector. I like to use the decks I own.
This one appealed to me right away. I loved the images and since they loosely follow the R.W.S.  I felt fairly confident I could read with it.
I was a bit hesitant because of the size of this deck. Most Tarot decks have cards considerably bigger then regular playing cards, but the Druid Craft deck is massive!
Consequently the pictures are bigger and so it is easier to notice the details, which is good.
Shuffling them or handling them in general though is much harder, which in my personal experience is bad.

Whenever I buy a new deck I restrict it to my personal use for a while. I want to get familiar with it, develop a bond.

I have come to realize that the Druid Craft deck speaks to me quite differently than other decks. Some of the images in the cards are very different from the R.W.S. and the 7 of Swords is a good example.

The man in the R.W.S.  is walking away from a village in his tippy toes. He carries 5 swords in a way that in real life would most likely cause him some  nasty wounds. His eyes also seem closed to me.
I usually get a message of sneaking around, hiding things because he does not want to face the objections of others to his actions or decisions. This behavior often backfire, as the actions are discovered and the two swords left behind are used against him. Swords are usually about thoughts and communication. Often , the hidden actions are discovered and the person  has to face the angry people who are affected by them and who would not have agreed to the conditions in the first place.

The feeling I get from the image of the 7 of swords in the Druid Craft is totally different.
Here we have an old man, hopefully indicating wisdom, busy writing something.
The expression in his face suggests to me he is not doing it lightly. The fact that it is night makes me think he has been pondering over it for quite some time.

As it happened, this card came up for me yesterday. I had been thinking to address a matter in writing for a couple of days. I had not done it yet, because it was a delicate matter. The Ace of Sword came up in the same reading, telling me in no uncertain words that it was time to speak up.
As I was looking at the image I also noticed the way the swords are resting in an intricate pattern, which made perfect sense to me as it related well to the situation I was dealing with.

To sum it all up, I am finding the Druid Craft deck a very reliable one. The images have a way to reflect well my day to day life. It also confirms my belief that it is a good idea to use several decks, as in this case this card fitted the situation so much better that the same card in the other deck could. I have offered my clients several choices of decks for a while now and after this experience I know it is a practice I want to continue.
