Celtic Tree Oracle by: Sharlyn Hidalgo

I shuffled my deck 3 times & drew: 8. Tinne Holly Reversed

The Tinne Holly initiates in the eighth lunation. This tree is about justice. Its energy helps protect the weak & vulnerable. There is warrior energy with Holly. The vindication of rights & clarification of claims & grievances is important. Holly protects against injustice, harm, & negativity while increasing the love & offering encouragement. This tree supports us as we work with polarity & duality, instructing us so we may create unity & wholeness. Holly encourages the right relationships & partnerships that are fair & balanced. The ogham for this tree is Tinne & the letter is T.

Reversed Meaning Is it possible that you are shirking your responsibility by avoiding conflict? Perhaps you are trying to sweep problems under the rug. Is there injustice in your life? Are you witnessing a situation in which a perpetrator is bullying or otherwise harming a victim? Are you that victim? If so, it is time to get help. Stand up for yourself before the situation gets entirely out of hand. If things are not in balance, attend to the process of returning to balance. You may not be prepared to take on a fight, now, & need some time to develop your strategies & strength. Ask others to help you.

Do you find yourself immersed in fights in your important relationships? It is time to make room for difference & let love move you into wholeness rather than duality. You might have to seek help to encourage this process.

Good Afternoon everyone, today the air is cold also forecasted for snow late this afternoon and tomorrow. Wishing you all a wonderful day.

February 20, 2022, Sunday

Shuffled the deck and received 5 of Swords

Light Seer: conflict, unfair advantage, experiencing loss, the need to build your skills and your confidence, hollow victories.

Shadow Seer: deceitful strategies and feeling guilty about your win, resentment, a desire for peace, the realization that there are no winners.

image source: The Light Seer’s Tarot Deck by Chris-Anne

You may have experienced an unexpected loss that has left you a little bit sore. Sometimes life isn’t just fair, and these inequities can drain our energy for much longer than they need to. Often, it’s the fear of failure that does most of the draining. If you are feeling outsmarted or out-jousted, remember that one chapter doesn’t define you. Wins and losses are both a part of the human experience and the keys to self-improvement lie dormant inside the difficulties. Boost your consciousness, upgrade your skills, and build on this experience. In shadow, we learn that winning isn’t everything, especially when deceit is a part of the strategy. The obsessive desire to win can have us stopping at nothing to feel victorious, and in the long run, we risk everything we’ve built along the way. You may find yourself a few steps backward after winning if you are not bringing your integrity to the game.

The lessons move m ahead, always.

Blessed Be

• I shuffled my Celtic Tree Oracle deck by Sharlyn Hidalgo 3 times & drew: 10. Quert Apple

The Quert Apple shares the ninth lunation with the Coll Hazel but brings its own perspective to this sunny time of the year. She offers us such sweet fruit and in such variety, it’s fitting that she is concerned with beauty and making choices among many good things. She also reminds us of the unseen helpers that minister to the plant world. With Apple, we honor the fairies, as well as the devas and nature spirits that play a central role in the organization and proliferation of plant life on our planet.

Abunddance is associated with this card. Therefore, you are granted many boons & blessings. You are reminded to be grateful and to count those blessings. Appreciation is in order. Look to paradise that you live in and do what you can to protect her. Give your gratitude to all the unseen helpers of nature. Perhaps you can leave a corner of your yard or garden wild so that the nature spirits have a safe place to dwell.

Rune Draw

• I drew Ansuz this morning

Overall Meanings/Keyword(s): Inspiration, Enthusiasm, Synthesis, Transformation, Words

Find your ears before you search for words. Mental stability, communion, inspiration, listening, words, elders, conversation, order, answers, exploration, the principle of divine conscious power as embodied by Odin, synthetic consciousness. Listening to oneself or one’s inner voice. Breath or ancestral sovereign god. (Odin)

Brightstave/Upright:

Messages, advice, information may be coming from external sources, or you may be being asked to pay attention to messages coming from your higher self. Also concerned with divine wisdom & communication with higher planes as well as mundane messages & knowledge. Be extra open to signals from the universe. Pay attention to animals crossing your path, cloud imagery, numerical messages & other synchronicities. Potential for prophecies, revelations, or other messages from your allies in the Otherworld. A capacity for spiritual growth & new insights.

Ansuz 4th Rune of the Elder Futhark & Freya’s Aett

[debra2]

Good Afternoon Everyone it is a cold windy day here, blowing from the north.

February 21, 2022, Monday. Happy Family Day’s Canada

Shuffled the deck and received 6 of Pentacles

Light Seer: two-way abundance (giving and receiving), being charitable, a positive and generous mindset, advancement, awakening, inflow, help coming from others.

Shadow Seer: a one-way flow of abundance (over-giving or over-receiving), hoarding and holding on to what you have, choosing not to help, being uncharitable, selfishness, ulterior motives, inability to accept help.

image source: The Light Seer’s Tarot Deck by Chris-Anne

Being open to give to others and to receive from others are states that we must all cultivate. This card asks you to experience these consciously. How does helping others make you feel? It feels good, right? Abundant? Heart-centered? Gifting your time, money, or energy to someone else will open up the floodgates of new resources coming your way. Be generous with everything you have learned, and remain conscious of the flow of abundance from the Universe. Consider these sacred dualities: learning and teaching. Receiving and giving. Accepting and offering. Open your heart to this sacred balance of energy, and fill in any gaps you have around scarcity and abundance. It will imbue your life with compassion and generosity, and usher in new states of prosperity. Donating your energetic resources to help others will be life-changing for those in need. Choose a cause that moves your soul, and watch your feelings of prosperity shift.

I show gratitude for my life through generosity and compassion.

Blessed Be

Celtic Tree Oracle Draw

(by Sharlyn Hidalgo)

I shuffled the Celtic Tree Oracle deck 3 times & drew:

9. Coll Hazel – Reversed

The Coll Hazel initiates the ninth lunation & includes the celebration of the summer solstice, also known as Alban Heroin, Midsummer, & Litha. Here we give our gratitude for the abundance of Mother Earth. Hazel is about compassion & love for our friends & families - as well as safety & protection, which are important aspects of mothering & nurturing. Hazel supports our emotional life. She honors the moon & the waters of our planet. She supports creative expression in the form of story, poetry, art, song, & dance. Hazel brings clarity when we seek advice. The ogham for this tree is Coll & the letters C & K.

Reversed: Are you ignoring your intuitive knowing? Perhaps you don’t like what you are sensing, as change is indicated. Even so, it is time to pay attention to the wisdom that is offered to you. Are you resistant to advice?

Are you cut off from other women? From the mothers in your life? Perhaps it is time to heal a mother wound. Perhaps you are cut off from your family or connection to Mother Earth. How do you mother yourself? It is time to cease repeating habitual negative messages to yourself. Instead, begin giving yourself the nurturing you require. Offer this to others as well. Too much criticism separates us from ourselves & others.

Good afternoon Everyone, hope you are all having an awesome day.

February 22, 2022, Tuesday (2.22.22)

Shuffled the deck and received 4 of Swords

Light Seer: a time of deep rest, transmutation of shadow, healing from burnout, taking a brief holiday from your reality, renewal, self-love.

Shadow Seer: not recognizing the dangers of burnout, a need to spend time recovering, dedicating your energy to self-care.

image source: The Light Seer’s Tarot by Chris-Anne

This deep resting period in your life marks a moment of intentional healing and self-care. More than just integral to your wellness, it is integral to your being at this time – body, mind, and spirit. How you heal is your choice, and you can find quiet regeneration through sleep or other restorative practices like meditation, journaling, energy healing, etc. Consciously decide to slow down and process … before sprinting ahead. The hustle can be tumultuous and demanding, and the only person who can really direct your own radical recovery is you. Tend to your wounds, as you may be on the verge of burnout. Your nest will grow around you as you sleep, and the landscape of your life will shift beautifully as you fall into your own rejuvenating energy. In your dream state, you will transmute and transform your experiences, and emerge renewed, whole, and ready to rise. But first, you must rest. Sweet dreams, sweet chickadee.

I give myself permission to slow down and heal.

Blessed Be

@debra2 I just want to say thank you for drawing from your decks every day. The Light Seer’s Deck is really gorgeous. It was the first deck that I owned.

[debra2]

Yes, they are gorgeous, seems there are a few of us with this deck. I like your deck, very different, but quite formative. Your welcome @Susurrus I enjoy posting a card each day that I can.

[Susurrus]

It is greatly appreciated.

I have started using the Celtic Tree Oracle again & added a Radiant Crystal card that is a different crystal with its information & an affirmation on it. I also have the Inner Child Oracle Deck & Wild Runes Oracle.

I have the Light Seer’s Tarot, Tarot of the Divine, & Celtic Tarot. Right now the Celtic Tarot is really resonating with me. I’ll have to get my other decks out & see how they feel, they haven’t been out in a while. I think I’ll change their home in my space today.

I shuffled the Celtic Tree Oracle deck 3 times & drew:

7. Duir Oak

The Duir Oak initiates in the seventh lunation & includes the celebration of Beltane. The sacred marriage is enacted, now, between the community’s representation of the Great Goddess & Cernunnos which ensures fertility for another season. This is the holiday of sexuality & sensuality & represents a threshold which the maiden aspect of the Goddess crosses into the Mother aspect. We celebrate the blood mysteries & the young wome’s first menarche. We celebrate fertility & the magic of the green earth that sustains us. This is a time of conception & the beginning of new life with the returning of the sun. This tree offers strength, stamina, & is a symbol for a generation. The ogham for this tree is Duir & the letter is “D”.

Upright: Oak, in a reading, gifts you with strength & endurance, stamina & grounded stability.

This tree offers you practicality, common sense, & an ability to bring things to completion. There is a desire to make things beautiful & to create. You may choose to work in the garden, now, as this is the card for a green thumb. It signifies a time to notice nature & spend some time out of doors. It is time to take a hike or go to the park. Take in the beauty of the green earth.

Oak also is an indication of fertility, whether you are conceiving a child, project, business, or other creative endeavors. Oak celebrates sensuality & sexuality & the sacred act of creation & progeny.

This tree also promises you knowledge, information, guidance, & wisdom. Expect synchronicities. Situations, people, dreams, & books may appear for your benefit & growth. The door is opening up for you, & thresholds are meant to be crossed. This is a time to feel strong & secure as you build toward the manifestation of your dreams.

Shuffled the deck and received Temperance*

Light Seer: alchemy, blending energies, harmony, moderation, masculine and feminine balance, duality and amalgamation, the fluidity of time, meditation, the perpetual motion of life, neutrality, restraint, patience, purpose.

Shadow Seer: clashing interests, oil and water, extremes, disharmony, a need to practice moderation in some aspect of your life, severity, polarity, impatience.

image source: The Light Seer’s Tarot Deck by Chris-Anne

Temperance is the alchemist of life, and it calls you to create your purposeful blend using moderation and patience as ingredients. Where are you focusing your precious energy right now? Maybe you’ve been overdoing it in your social life? Or bringing on television, drinks or food, or overspending? Focusing on a relationship that is depleting more energy than it is replenishing? Being wholly materialistic vs. wholly spiritual? We live in a world of extreme passions and heated hustle, so slowing down the desire for excess in any one area of your life may be harder than you think. Don’t do drastic right now. Stay away from “all or nothing” choices. Clearing your energy of extremes will foster a dynamic, nourishing flow that is aligned with your perfect alchemical purpose. Seek equilibrium and be mindful of your resources while fusing all the elements to achieve a beautiful balance.

I walk the middle path, and I nourish my spiritual wholeness.

Blessed Be

Celtic Tree Oracle Draw

(by Sharlyn Hidalgo)

• I shuffled the Celtic Tree Oracle deck 3 times & drew:

• • 5. Nuin Ash

The Nuin Ash initiates in the fifth lunation of the year. This tree represents the world tree, Yggdrasil, from which the Norse God Odin hung for nine days & nights & was rewarded with the runes. Surrender & compassion are this tree’s message, as it teaches us about receptivity & intuition. Ash invites us to dive deep into our own inner wisdom. It is here that we meet the mystery. This is the place of enchantment & magic: We have the influence of water & the magic of the water sprites & mermaids. We follow the cycles of the moon. We drift into dreams & visions & reverie. The ogham for this tree is Nuin & the letter N.

Upright: When you get Ash in a reading, expect to connect with your own inner tree, which represents your center & connects you with your inner world & the outer world. Here, you experience the meaning of the axiom “As above, so below.” This is a place of great guidance. It links you to universal knowledge & can help you understand yourself – your thoughts, feelings, & actions. To access this knowledge, pay attention to your dreams. Seek communication with your higher self & with divinity. Follow your intuition & the dictates of your higher heart & mind.

The Nuin Ash is less about doing & more about being - & about noticing. Therefore, pay attention to what is showing up in your life. Your outer world reflects your inner world. If you see things that you are not happy with, begin to make changes, Chances within will reflect the outer world: changes without will reflect in the inner world.

You are also encouraged to participate in rituals & ceremonies, so consider seeking spiritual community. If you are immersed in grief, reach out to your community for help so that you don’t drown in your own sorrows. Know that this will pass too. On the other hand, if you are involved in a project, you may have to put in long hours in seclusion to complete your work: you might need to block out the world for some time. If so, you may feel, lonely, but it is worth it to bring your work to fruition.

Perhaps it is time to help someone else. This is often a great balm for one’s own sadness.

Kenaz

@Susurrus

Magickal Uses: Use Kenaz when you are studying, creating, or when you would like to manifest something in your life. You can use it when you are in unfamiliar territory, figuratively or literally to help chase the shadows back. Creativity, inspiration, healing, love, balanced relationships, adds power to runic talismans.

Overall Meanings/Keyword(s): Torch, burning, knowledge, light, heat, breakthrough. Once we know, we can’t unknow. Especially when transitioning from blissful child to pained adult. Light of the darkness, as well as warmth that fire provides. On a metaphysical level, this is also the light of knowledge & enlightenment. Controlled energy.

You are or will be experiencing a breakthrough in some area of your life that has caused you confusion or anguish. Higher guidance is with you now, bringing enlightenment & clarity. You will be able to reconsider your situation considering new information or understanding, which will allow you to make any necessary changes to your approach. Take the lessons of your enlightenment to heart. Allow the power & energy of this illuminating experience to open the way for you & propel you along our path.

Brightstave/Upright: Inner creativity & artistry, or general ability or aptitude are indicated. Rest & relaxation are necessary to allow it to arise. The creative fire is applied to the personality. Transformation is suggested, shaping or reshaping of the present situation enlightened by divine inspiration. A child may be in the offing.

Rune of enlightenment, especially that of a spiritual kind. It is the rune of illumination & light. Also, the rune of manifestation. A rune that can keep the shadows back & help you bring something out of nothing.

2. Luis Rowan Reversed

Luis Rowan initiates the second lunation of the year. It is during this portal that we celebrate the winter solstice, also known as Alban Arthuan, Yule, & Midwinter. At this time, we celebrate the rebirth of the sun & honor the great mothers who gave birth to inspired sons. This represents the longest day of darkness: now the sun begins to return. Rowan advises us to seek protection from enchantment or control of others. We are also reminded about our ability to astral travel. We are encouraged to connect with ecstasy, universal unconditional love, & higher consciousness. The ogham for this tree is Luis or the letter L

Reversed: If you are down in the dumps or feeling especially pessimistic, remember that you can change your mind & thus affect your emotional state. By changing a negative thought to a neutral or more positive one, you can change your feeling state. You have a choice – even though you might not believe you have any power in the matter.

Luis Rowan reversed can also indicate that you are not taking enough time to connect with source or spirit or creativity. Stop for a moment & consider what you need to do to fire up your inner flame & keep it burning bright. Ar you ignoring your intuition when it waves a red flag letting you know that, regarding certain situations & people, something is not right?

Shuffled the deck and received 4 of Cups

Light Seer: missing opportunities for abundance, a time to meditate, frustration and boredom, being a brat, not appreciating what you have, apathy, introspection, stability leading to boredom.

Shadow Seer: focusing on the negative, pessimism, a time to practice gratitude, a gentle nudge to stop complaining.

image source: The Light Seer’s Tarot by Chris-Anne

If you are finding yourself bored, unsatisfied, or frustrated with your current situation, know that you are likely missing the vibrant landscapes that are present just beyond your peripheral vision. Often we become so focused on our own internal perspectives that our feelings about a situation can prevent us from noticing the arrival of extraordinary opportunities and remarkable things. If you remain open to shifting ever so lightly in order to see your situation in a fantastic new light, you will learn that the present moment is filled with the most dynamic magic. Instead of focusing on what you don’t have right, focus on what you do! Even better, spend energy focusing your thoughts on the experiences that you will create in the future. Taking time to meditate and slow your mind will show you that life is better than it seems. It’s up to you to shift into the abundance available to you right now.

I see the fullness and richness of my life.

3. Fearn Alder Reversed

The Fearn Alder initiates in the third lunation & represents guidance & initiative. This tree also represents leadership, power, & strength. If you need backbone in a dispute, this tree offers you strength & resolve as well as protection. Alder holds both male & female powers & shows us how to balance these aspects within us. Alder encourages us to seek the oracle to help us update our intentions & assert our plans. We set these renewed intentions for a s new solar year. There is a quality of self-sacrifice for the good of the community, with this tree. The ogham for Alder is Fearn & the letters F, V, & GW

Reversed: You may be too dependent on your masculine or feminine role or energy. Rowan asks you to address any imbalances in this area. Remember, you are not confined to any role. You have full choice in how you create your life.

You may be denying access to spiritual messages & guidance. Perhaps you are ignoring the fact that you require help & healing. Check in & see if you are being overly resistant. Help is available, but you must ask for it before your guides can come forward. They need your permission to assist you.

Similarly, you may be unaware of your need for protection, especially within a situation that involves a dispute or controversy. All that is needed is for you to invite your spirit helpers protection & guidance, & they will come forward for you.
