Walking in Beauty
The image this month is of one of the many beautiful slot canyons found in Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park, Antelope Canyon, in Arizona. I recently learned of a beautiful prayer of the Navajo (Dine) people called the Walking in Beauty Prayer. The Dine consider beauty as a transformative element and a way of staying in connection with The Creator of the Universe. This blot post tells the story of a visit to this area and shows more amazing images Navajo-country-walking-in-beauty. When we experience the beauty of nature up close, it helps to calm us and take us to a place of peace which is a very healing energy we can experience whenever we need to. Such experiences help us stay in an attitude of appreciation. I first heard about the prayer while listening to this Catherine Plano podcast with Gregg Braden. ThrivinginaChangingWorld.

For October, I am using a layout suggested by Liz Dean in The Ultimate Guide to Tarot. This layout is about finding a mentor or a soul mate (might be the same person)! I added an oracle card and guiding rune to Liz’s suggested layout. Having gone through recent big changes and clearing out old energy, it’s time to welcome in new and inspirational energy. Let’s see what your reading has for you today. If it’s for you, all I can say is, wow, you have been doing the work!
THE HIEROPHANT: Is at the center to guide the reading. This card in part represents a gatekeeper to higher spiritual/personal understanding, a wise mentor/teacher. You have recently passed through some level(s) of “initiation,” and are now ready to attract a mentor or soul mate into your life for the next phase. A new relationship or possibly an old one that has undergone major up-leveling. Any karma (baggage) that may have existed in this new version of the “old” relationship is cleared now. The mentor/soul mate is someone who will inspire, teach, guide you along your path, but ultimately, you hold the keys to all that you seek. The soul mate is not necessarily a romantic relationship. It is about having a deep connection (entanglement) with another person. Experiencing, teaching, learning, evolving together.
CARD #1- YOUR SITUATION- THE ACE OF WANDS: Inspiration, potential for growth, new opportunities are opening to you. Connect with your energetic flow, your heart space. What is calling you? Follow your passion. This is confirmation that it’s time to start a new endeavor (relationship, project, adventure, class, business). It’s okay to start small and increase involvement over time. It’s a green light. It’s a spark which can lead to a huge blaze. The potential is there. Any challenges can/will be overcome and learned from along the way. This is very much about personal/spiritual growth. Take a class? Start painting/writing/whatevering again? Join/lead a support group? Start dating again? Find a new church? Change professions? What is calling you now?
CARD #2 – YOUR MENTOR/SOUL MATE/PERSON IN QUESTION – THE EMPEROR: This is powerful leadership energy. Wise, divine-masculine “fatherly” energy with a clear vision of what he/she wants to create. Strategic, organized. Calm and controlled emotionally. Who has recently come into your life with this energy? Or, who is already in your life with this energy? The Emperor vibe is action-based: the time has come to move forward into the new that awaits you. You have many sources of guidance, leadership, and life-experience wisdom including your own inner GPS. Trust the process. Flow. You have the keys to enter through the gate to all that awaits you next. Your mentor/soul mate will be with you, but ultimately, it’s your journey.
CARD #3 – YOUR OUTCOME – THE SUN: One of the happiest cards in the deck! You have much to celebrate. Some important inner-child wounds have recently been dealt with/healed! You are glowing and warm, with a vibrant life-giving energy which attracts people and opportunities. You are feeling all the love. Life is good and it’s about to get even better! Express appreciation and gratitude. Find ways to give to others.
ORACLE CARD – SACRED SPACE (Magical Times Oracle deck): Have you momentarily lost touch with your dreams due to all you’ve recently experienced? Reconnect with them! They are still there. Go within, meditate, do yoga, practice heart/brain coherence breathing to calm and center, spend time in nature, love on your kids/pets/friends/spouse, do what helps you connect to your best self and to Source. Spend time in your peaceful place(s). Express appreciation for all the good in your life. More is there for you.
GUIDING RUNE – BREAKTHROUGH/TRANSFORMATION/DAY – Such a connected rune to the other parts of this reading! It signals the final step of an initiation process and marks a major shift, breakthrough, even a complete transformation on your way to becoming the best version of yourself. Wow! You are at a major turning point that you will remember always as a time that shifted you in a major way towards more fulfillment, joy, a greater sense of purpose and belonging, more love. It may feel as if you have stepped off a cliff into the great unknown; however, a new day is dawning for you (as you have recently passed through a darker time). Trust the process. Of course, there are always challenges/adjustments in times of transformation, AND you have the resources to navigate well. Stay in your joy vibe as you journey here.
May you always walk in the remembrance of who you truly are. And may you never lose your song.
