Inner Child Oracle
- (By: Amanda Lynn Hails)
I shuffled 3 times, removed the top 3 cards & flipped over the top card:
TODAY IS THE DAY
There is something you have been putting off & now is the time to do it. It may seem overwhelming but beyond the horizon waits something more wonderful than you can know in these present moments. Do not be afraid, no one is ever truly ready at their first steps. It is not perfection that we seek but a life lived fully.
I shuffled three times and drew off the first three cards to get Strength (I don’t know why that is done but I have seen it done numerous times in here)
This is from the Beginner’s Tarot by Juliet Sherman-Burke, illustrated by Giovanni Caselli.
Strength can be connected to an inner struggle with the lion representing self interest. This can be destructive. The woman is trying to stop it from being destructive rather than trying to stop it altogether. Strength is a process for us to control urges without repressing them. Inner courage and self discipline help with that. The preceding l is a paraphrase from the tarot guide that comes with the deck.
Great card for me as I am trying to switch my eating habits to what they were before and I keep saying “discipline” in my head when the urge to eat whatever I want whenever I want comes up (regularly I might add).
Thank you for sharing @Phoenix_Rose!
I am the only one that does the shuffle 3 times, takes off the top 3 cards, & then draws; that I have really noticed… I’m honestly not sure it’s a popular “thing”… I have an affinity for triplicities, things happen in 3s, and the symbols & sigils representing those things, I know things related to 3 are sometimes Celtic , 3 is I guess a sacred number to me, so I choose to do the shuffle 3 times, take off the top 3 cards on Tending Brighid’s Flame & on this thread too with my decks. If it is something that you find works for you, then yay & if not, then that’s okay too
Then I must have seen your posts the most
Thank you for explaining to me why it is done.
I am still finding my way so I am happy to try different things to see what works. This card was definitely an appropriate card for me
Yes, I post on this thread & the Tending thread daily. Sometimes twice on this thread if I am using two of my decks.
No worries at all, but that is why I do that way, I am VERY Celtic leaning in my path. So for me it just makes sense. I’m happy that it seemed to be the way to go for you today & that you tried it!
Any other questions, feel free to ask!
Thank you!

I got a new deck of cards so I drew a card for July and I’m sharing it here, with you! This card really resonated with me because I do a meditation to connect my heart to the heart of the earth and the heart of the Universe. I also work with Mary Magdalene in my energy healing and spiritual exploration.
The Mystique of Magdalene An Oracle of Love
by Cheryl Yambrach Rose
3. Rhythm of the Heart
Awaken Your Dream
Let the sacred rhythm of your heart vibrate through the drum into the earth, resonate with Gaia’s heart, then travel out into the Universe. This will clear old energies to make room for what you wish to bring into your life.
Drumming is a way of visualization and manifesting because it engages the conscious mind while allowing the subconscious mind the freedom to make a deeper connection with the heart-brain to heal and inspire. Drumbeats can send thought forms through time and space to a chosen location or person you wish to communicate with. It reminds us of the comforting heartbeat and soothing safety of the mother’s womb.
I really like that deck & the messages. Thank you for sharing it today! Sounds like what I have been progressively working on lately!

Celtic Tree Oracle
(By: Sharlyn Hidalgo & Illustrated By: Jimmy Manton)
I shuffled the Celtic Tree Oracle deck 3 times & took the next 3 cards off the top & drew:
21. Koad Grove
Keywords all knowledge, silence, meditation, prayer, initiation. Great Spirit, Source, the Mystery, the temple, recommitment to the spiritual community, tree teachings, divinity, recommitment to the spiritual path, communication with ancestors, connection with spirit, unity consciousness, universal intelligence, totems, guides, & deities on the spiritual plane, loved ones & animals who have passed over.
Koad Grove represents the most important holiday in the Celtic cosmology: The Day, which falls on October 31st (April 30th) & marks the end of the Celtic Year. Other names for this celebration are Samhain, Hallowmas, All Hallows, & Halloween. This is a day that we give gratitude for & make space to connect with our guides, totems, & our ancestors. If we follow a particular religion, it is time for prayers or perhaps going to the temple, church, or synagogue. Here we stand within the protection of the grove & enter sacred space. The Grove is representative of all knowledge, of the temple, the holy of holies, & the great silence. The ogham for the Grove is Koad & the letters EA, CH, & KH. It is symbolized by shears.
21. Koad Grove Upright
When you receive the Grove in a reading, you are asked to reconnect to what is spiritually meaningful to you & to give your gratitude. This is the time to consider the sacred & connect with spirit/source. Take time to sit in silence & review your year.
Listen for messages from the ancestors. Meditate. Contemplate death. The Celts readily made space for the dead & believed they sent healing, guidance, & support to the living. What messages are they sending you? Remember that these beings are your support team and that you are loved & cherished. Perhaps your relatives were limited within their personalities while they were alive, and your history with them is not that positive. In spirit, however, they are open to a greater sense of wisdom & love to share with you.
The Grove represents your community. Spend time with like-minded others in rituals & ceremonies. Reconnect with your source together in celebration & with gratitude. Do you have a place that is sacred to you? Do you have a spiritual group, temple, grove, center, or church that is meaningful to you? Do you have a spiritual practice that supports you? What spiritual lineages have relevance for you?
It is time to seek answers to these questions. If you have no answers, it is time to include the spiritual within your life. Explore what has true meaning for you. It is time to develop a spiritual practice.

Inner Child Oracle
- (By: Amanda Lynn Hails)
I shuffled 3 times, removed the top 3 cards & flipped over the top card:
PULL YOURSELF CLOSE
Our inner being longs for us to reside as one. It is now time to pull close all of the places inside of us that we wish were not there. Imagine embracing yourself in acceptance, the “good” parts, the “bad” parts, the “missing” places, and the “broken” pieces. Knowing that every place inside of you is worthy of the greatest love.
