Counsil Fire

Published January 7, 2022 by tindertender

To admit wrongdoing and to make amends builds character and makes a Tribe or Nation stronger. There is no losing face when a person is willing to make amends. Honor is found in the willingness to change. This act of courage, which is the willingness to right a wrong, allows everyone to see how the offender is once again walking the Sacred path.

One comes to realize a sense of unity when observing the way our Ancestors had of making democratic Council decisions. When the good of the whole is placed before the good of the few, all are assured of a future filled with abundance. These teachings stress that until all the People are doing well, in truth none of the People do well. This idea encompasses all races and creeds because Grandfather Sun shines on us all. We then respect the value of the individual and acknowledge the need to nurture the Self first so that the talents each individual brings into the world can feed all of the People. If these guidelines are followed, the Children of the Earth will break the bonds of inequality and dictatorship.

If you have been waffling over what to do next, the Council Fire card is insisting that you make a decision. There can be no forward movement if you fail to decide which trail will lead out of the swamp and into the forests. It takes courage to make changes in your life and all changes must begin with a decision. Do it and don’t look back. Life awaits you in all of its beauty.

If the decision of another has left you in a precarious position, make new decisions of your own. There is no need to make your decisions based upon another’s. Consider all possibilities and how your decision affects others, then be courageous enough to act. Find your truth and stick to it.

A Moment’s Regret

Published January 6, 2022 by tindertender

“It was much pleasanter at home,” thought poor Alice, “When one wasn’t always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits. I almost wish I hadn’t gone down that rabbit-hole ~ and yet ~ it’s rather curious, you know, this sort of life!”

When we make life changes and take large steps into the unknown, it is perfectly natural to have a moment or two when we wonder whether we have made a series of mistakes! A light shines on the doubts you are having and asks you to accept these uncertainties as part of the process of change.

You are so very far away from where you once were, but you still have no clear idea of exactly where your path will take you, and you are filled with uncertainty. Instead of allowing dread to fill your mind, live as if life is a great adventure. Understand that as you change, there will be many ups and some downs to! It is not in your best interest to judge yourself harshly. Instead, anchor yourself firmly in the present moment and allow any regret and nostalgia for your comfortable past to wash over you … let it flow on by.

You are on a remarkable journey of change. It is one that will lead to wisdom, experience and adventure. You have made a wonderful choice, so take heart in knowing that all change creates waves and disruption. Do not make more of your misgivings than they are … they are a natural consequence of bravely stepping out of your comfort zone.

Second-guessing your decisions. Berating yourself for the choices you have made. Feeling regretful and missing what was. Nostalgia – living in the past. A focus on what is going ‘wrong’ or what could still go ‘wrong’.

Becoming Braver

Published January 4, 2022 by tindertender

“After a fall such as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs! How brave they’ll all think me at home! Why, I wouldn’t say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house!”

Alice is brave. And so are you. With everything that has taken place in your life of late, you have often felt overwhelmed, challenged and uncertain of whether you could cope with very much more. But you have shown great courage, and perhaps even more wonderfully, you’ve developed so much resilience. Because of the extreme nature of the events and experiences you have been working with, you will now be able to deal with all manner of circumstances with great calm and stoicism. And this is no small thing!

Being challenged in quite radical ways can see some people retreat entirely from life. But you, like Alice, can see one of the aspects of working through adversity is realizing just how much you can do. You have been stretched, pushed and gone right to the very edges of what you know about yourself – and you have come to know yourself far better, far more deeply, than if you had not had these great and sometimes rather terrible adventures.

Most of all, please know these truths: You are strong, you are brave, you are resilient. You have been dignified, graceful, and remained curious under the greatest sorts of pressures. This has been, in many ways, your finest hour. And you will be able to set an amazing example when life returns to something just a little closer to what most people call normal!

You have been tested. The development of strength and resilience through courageous meetings of challenges. The demonstration of great character. The acknowledgement of how much you have learned. The ability to cope with so many little things, due to a great ordeal endured with grace, dignity and humor. Testing times shows true character.

We’re All Mad Here

Published January 2, 2022 by tindertender

“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.

“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat, “We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”

“How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.

“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”

Most people like to fit in. Most people like to feel that all the other people feel that they are quite normal. And other people like to be around people who are very safe, predictable, and well, ordinary. Only, as Alice is told by the Cheshire Cat, we are all mad. There is not a person on this planet that does not have a little secret, or a strange little something they have done, or do. And yet, on and on we go, all the time attempting to be normal.

And ‘normal’ changes all the time. Mostly, people just want to fit in, to blend in with others, to feel that they do not stand out in any way. Standing out can make us vulnerable. It can make us conspicuous. Although our culture adores its iconic people, we do not generally tolerate difference very well. The truth is, we all have our little oddities, and we can exhaust ourselves trying to erase their visibility.

We hide who we truly are. We do not speak of who we are, and we try to convince others that we are just like them. Consider why you would hide any of your own strangeness, when as the Cheshire Cat says, we are all mad here. And we must all be mad – otherwise we would not be here, living another lifetime, brave enough, mad enough, to learn more on this journey of the soul.

Beginning to realize that everyone is interesting, a little bit different and full of secrets, good and bad. Understanding that hiding what makes you your very own self is not only exhausting, but it is robbing the world of your unique wonder. Discovering that you are a little mad – and so, in truth, is everyone else. Embrace your eccentricities and your own peculiar genius.

Belief Is Key

Published January 1, 2022 by tindertender

There is spiritual intelligence within your soul. It is the genius of becoming, of ripening from potential into glorious manifestation. Intimate communion with your own heart will reveal what it is you truly yearn for and set the process in motion for that yearning to be satisfied. The holy fire is Kali. And she is within your soul. Follow the yearning, seek the light. Let yourself burn bright for what inspires you, and you shall see the path to fruition clearly before you. Believe in what is meant to be. ~ Kali Oracle, Alana Fairchild

You have seen and unseen allies.
Draw upon their strength.
Join forces with friends and flourish.

Today I focus on the good and happy Spirits in my life. The ones that build me up instead of tearing me down. I am rich with the joy and beauty brought to me by my friends.

Beware of false prophets
Individual expression is stirring
Good news and abundant energy
Look within and choose your path, avoid fanciful choices
Harness the power of the unconscious mind to affect change and healing
Intuition is more reliable than intellect at this time
Temporary withdrawal brings peace and gives time for planning next move
Completed cycle, well done
You have come to know and be at peace with yourself
Using skills within a group to achieve a goal
Inner work and self reflection
You know what you want from the situation you are in
Do not exclude those with a genuine interest in you
Strength in reserve
Stored energy is now released for healing
Embracing a new vision with compassion

Keeping Up

Published December 30, 2021 by tindertender

“Well, in our country,” said Alice, still playing a little, “You’d generally get to somewhere else – if you run very fast for a long time as we’ve been doing.”

“A slow sort of country!” said the Queen. “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

The lessons of your life are taking place at a fast rate – far to swiftly for you to process them!! It seems you are only just keeping up with all the changes coming to you! You must work very hard to make any discernable progress, for now. You have been trying to get ahead, and yet you always seem to be in the very same place. This could be in almost any aspect of life – your finances, career or success. At this point in time, the answer is to work even harder.

You will not have to do this much work, with this much effort, perhaps ever again. But the only way out of your current situation is to accelerate, get intense and push for the breakthrough that is just ahead of you. You will need to devote more time than you would wish, and sacrifices will need to be made. However, if you do this, you will push through the resistance and explode into the next stage of your life.

Put all your effort into surging ahead and watch as you begin to move, in the tiniest of ways, ahead of where you have been. Once you take that lead, stay focused on where you are going and you will begin to leave the place you find yourself in now. When you push through, others will recognize the incredible dedication you have to your own life. This will inspire them to push forward with their own dreams, too. One thing is for sure, the intensity of your approach brooks no resistance. Your movement and energy will drive away all stagnation. Now go!

A time of very hard work. Getting ahead. Determination and resolve to push through into the next stage. The urge to improve your status and be rewarded. Moving quickly, with strength and stamina. A great deal to process and integrate.

Changed in the Night

Published December 29, 2021 by tindertender

“Dear, dear! How queer everything is today! And yesterday things went on just as usual, I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night?”

Sometimes, we change slowly. A little change here, a small adjustment there, tiny shifts day by day, and over time we grow into a very different version of ourselves. But at other times, we feel like we have been changed in the night. Our day might suddenly, without any warning at all, be very queer indeed. For Alice, and perhaps for you, there is a sense that so very much has changed in an instant, that the world has quite suddenly been turned upside down – or right side up! And, we have not had a moment to grow used to this new reality, the way we now are or the rules of the world we find ourselves inhabiting.

When a time like this comes, we can be in shock, a little numb and have trouble finding our way back to the center of ourselves. If you feel you may have been changed in the night – that your life has changed quite dramatically, quite suddenly – then take a moment. Remember your values, your feelings, yourself. Look about you, steady yourself and breathe in deep. You’ve been rocked and your sense of self, and of reality, is going to take a little time to resettle.

Continue to connect with your core self, be good to you and take it easy, but steadily. Remember, you are finding out who you truly are. Until this moment, you only knew who you could be when faced with certain, predictable circumstances. Now that so much has changed, you will find out so much more about yourself, and in time, this will enrich you so very much.

Sudden, unexpected change. A shock. Unexpected news. Adjusting to a new situation. Finding out more about who you are. Inexperience and uncertainty. An identity crisis due to changed circumstances.

Ten Thousand Angels

Published December 29, 2021 by tindertender

Lean on your circle of supernatural support.

When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts. ~ Mary Baker Eddy

You have a circle of supernatural support, spirit guides, and angelic beings surrounding you always. You have at least ten thousand angels on hand at all times, above, beneath, and on either side of you. When you become aware of them, their support and strength can be experienced more palpably within you, and you become truly empowered. Take a moment to scan over your life and realize you have never been alone. Allow yourself to feel uplifted as you ride on the wings of their vision for you. Discover the loving guidance that is always present. Honor your guides and angels by receiving and acting on their gift of wisdom.

Mantra ::
I’m cradled in a supernatural web of light and miracles that propel me along my way.
