    We are the stars which sing, We sing with our light; We are the birds of fire, We fly over the sky. Our light is a voice. We make a road for spirits, For the spirits to pass over. Among us are three hunters Who chase a bear; There never was a time When they were not hunting. We look down on the mountains. This is the Song of the Stars. ~The Algonquin Song of the Stars

    The cook position was already filled, damn. On the upside I was told to come back when I am through school because they are always looking for per diem nurses.

    Guess I'm stuck with a craptastic job until then, here's hoping I find something as good or better and very very soon.

     


    NEMETONA (Sacred Space)

    Create an altar or visit a power place to connect with the divine.

    Your sacred space is within you now. By creating an altar or visiting a sacred site, you connect with the symbols and energy that have been infused with meaning and prayer over the centuries. Don't take these symbols lightly for they're powerful indeed. When you connect with sacred symbols you help your inner sanctity find a home in the outer world. You also tap into the ancient wisdom and spiritual grace of the old ways. Explore spirituality through sacred symbols and sites, and allow your soul to joyfully meander among the various ways available to you to unite with the divine. It's not a matter of how you connect, but that you do so frequently.

    Various Meanings of the Card

    Build an altar in your home
    Take a spiritually oriented trip.
    You need a quiet place of refuge and retreat for yourself.
    Create a medicine circle or labyrinth
    Walk the labyrinth
    Clear the energy in your home with sage, prayer, toning, invoking Archangel Michael, or other space clearing methods.

    SARASVATI (The Arts)

    Express yourself through creative activities

    You're a limitless being.  If it seems that you have time, money, or other restrictions, it's simply because your mind is focused upon the material world.  You can unlimit youself by lifting the cloak of the material world from your focus.  Music is essential for the expression of nonmaterial ideals and energies.  Music colors our surroundings with emanations from the highest vibrational fields.  It allows us to escape all limitations in our thinking and very existence.  Surround yourself in music, and allow it to stimulate your own creative thinking and to spark new ideas.  Flow with the music, and give yourself permission to investigate and experiment with putting your creative ideas into action.  Enjoy being limitless

    Various meanings of this card:

    Play music, sing, dance, draw, paint, write or do something creative.
    Study or change to a career that gives you creative freedom.
    Take a creative class.
    Invest in an artistic hobby.
    Keep a journal of your creative ideas.
    Join a writing club or other creative support system.



    OONAGH (Easy Does It)

    There is no need to hurry or force things to happen.  Everything is occurring in perfect timing

    Nurturing a cause or relationship is a long term commitment, & one that can't be rushed.  This level of devotion comes from a place of deep love and concern. 
    I care what happens to my planet and my loved ones and am willing to stick with them through thick and thin. 
    Although it's not easy, it's the only way to ensure that all matters are resolved and healed.
    I listen to the stirrings of my heart and reach out and take action to let my loved ones know that I care deeply for them all.  I take action for my pet causes. 
    Don't worry about what others think, You will benefit from carrying out your priorities. 
    You will feel so good about yourself if you make time for the relationships and projects that truely count in your heart. 
    Do what's important to you, and do it with total devotion!  But remember that there's no competition for your true life's purpose, so don't worry, hurry, or feel
    that you have to force things to happen.

    Various meanings of this card
     
    Don't worry about your purpose or your goals
    Make no sudden moves
    Slow steady progress is best for now
    Ease into your new life instead of rushing into it
    Do your new work as a part time venture to begin with, while slowly exiting your old career.


    Call upon Oonagh for help with your transitions and she'll guide you in creative and magical ways.

    trying not to grumble

    Wednesday, May 14, 2008, 10:33 AM EST [onward and upward]

    My arrival home last night was deflated with the results of last week's hearing for child support. The ex had me dragged into court because he's a deadbeat and has not found a job in the seven months since he was fired. I learned there that he cashed in various things and sat on $12k for the last several months and paid me nothing until the court ordered him to pay on the arrearages and then it was a measly $25/wk. The order now states he is to pay $50/mo plus $10/mo for arrearages for the next 60 days, so $40 less a month than what he was paying when paying on the arrearages (he has yet to pay for a current month of CS since October. I am so completely frustrated I could cry, I had to drop down to part time in school because of his ineptness and as a result I have to try and fit in some courses this Summer. Not a problem really as it keeps my brain active but I wanted to be able to have a bit of freedom a few times and not have to worry about school. I wasn't rip-roaring angry until 4:30 this morning when it hit me. I managed to calm myself and get back to sleep then had a venting this morning with SIL and stepdad who were appropriately indignant for me. I then had this wash of calm and announced that something good was going to happen and not to dwell on this. Well, it started out good but now I'm panicking about my job search, spending too much time agonizing over "what ifs" that I need a good smack. So I've applied for a few jobs this morning, trying to avoid retail and find something that pays decently and is flexible to Pixie's schedule. I have a fair chunk of availability to offer- M-F 8-5:30 is nothing to sneeze at but still, tough going out there.  I've found one place that I am really excited about, it's as a FT cook in an adult daycare down the road.  I'd be brilliant at that!  I'm hoping to hear back from them and will have to contact them again in a day or so, if it's not filled I really, really want this job-9-3 m-f, I could still have some decent time for Pixie and the garden. So any and all ++++ would be greatly appreciated!

    So this morning I decided to pull a Goddess tarot card (did the Goddess Oracle, basically I have to stop worrying..lol) and pulled Fortune/Lakshmi whose message is:

    "The generosity of the universe. The ability to be open to abundance. Positive expectations. Awareness of beauty and love."


    Soooooo, center,focus and open to abundance. She's been telling me this for months and still I seem to close right up at the first sign of trouble. Will I ever learn? I am striving to do my best with this, more yoga and meditation I think. That keeps me more on the ball and down to earth instead of scudding all across the sky.

    I have many more photos of our time with Em and will get them up slowly, I've a chicken pen to build today and am waiting on the damn cordless drill to recharge...eeeesh. So I'll take this time to add more photos to my Etsy shop.

    The herbal tarot isn't my favorite, but I've had it for a while, so I kind of "get it".

    I pulled three - moving through a continuum from recent past (could be like yesterday afternoon or something).

    Ten of Cups or Marijuana
    Pan XV or Lobelia (the devil)
    (both are antispasmodics)
    then
    Ace of Pentacles or whole grains

    So Marijuana represents pie in the sky, pipe dreams, unstable foundation.

    Lobelia is breaking up old patterns, letting go of cares and worries more playfulness, frivolity, make believe, getting loose ; ), lightening up. Pan is one of my favorite cards in the deck. He's siting among flames, and lobelia holding a blue pentagram. He looks peaceful and easy.

    Whole grains is (looking forward) tonic, nutritive, the basis of all sound nutrition, raising and regulating of energy, and generally balance of the metabolism of the body... need for deep nourishment, satisfaction of hunger, desires, cravings and yearnings.
