Say hi to George the mouse.

No he's not mine, but I wish he was. 

Tarot Thursday!

Even though my last blog; (http://razorlustjadeaddis.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/divination-under-burning-sun.html) was very tarot based. I thought I'd give you something a bit extra for Tarot Thursday.

Some of you may have already seen it,
but incase you missed it.
Here's my youtube video on my tarot decks.

Enjoy.

Divination Under A Burning Sun

Taking inspiration from this blog; 

http://dangerdame.com/2014/07/21/magic-monday-a-wild-one-card-tarot-reading-from-me-to-you-adventure-black-bears-and-a-new-song/

And

From a desperate urge to clear out my head, I headed off into the wilderness, and plopped myself down on the solid earth, in a lovely spot about five minutes from my house.
The sun was beaming down, my skin clammy in the heat. Iridescent dragonflies, guided me to my spot - where handfuls of beautiful butterflies awaited me. The ground was warm under my bare toes, the crispy grass breaking underfoot.

I took my paint supplies with me. I always like to get creative when I'm out in nature, and hence this little hare was born.

Doing magic actually out in nature is truly freeing. It overloads and opens the senses all at the same time. Due to my Parlour class being moved to a Sunday I will not be able to attend the live session (but I will be receiving the download and pdf later), So I thought I'd do a one card reading for my fellow witchbabies, as I cannot join them.

So it was time to rip off my lovely vintage atlas inspired scarf from LUSH which holds my tarot deck.

And this is the card I pulled for you beautiful people. 

The Queen of Bows

(Or Wands to you normal deck holders)

So Queens represent people who nourish you and your dreams. People who are caretakers of all your hopes.

The Queen of Wands, is representative of a powerful, fiery figure coming into your life. Or it could mark a change in yourself. It suggests someone with previous successes, and someone who is known and respected in their courage.

I also took the oppurtunity to do a one card pull for myself...specifically revolving around guidance towards mellowing myself out. Before I left the house today, I was so overwhelmed. Nothing in particular, just lots of little things weighing heavily on my shoulders. 

And this is the card I pulled,
Seven of Bows
(Again that's Wands to the rest of you)

It means Clearance. A time to make decisions and prioritise. What is really important in my life? And what is worn and broken, and is better chucked away?

I'm gutted that I can't be live at this weeks Parlour, but I look forward to seeing you all the week after, and to watching the chat-box stumble into the gutter in the download.

Animal Sanctuary

So today I visited All Creatures Great and Small, animal sanctuary in Cwmbran.

https://www.google.co.uk/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=2HTJU8uUFPHH8gfgj4CICA&gws_rd=ssl

Set in the rural countryside of the Welsh hills, at the end of a little country road lies this wonderful animal haven. Part adoption centre for cats, dogs, and small animals, and part long term residence for some lucky creatures.
The day was sunny, as you wander the little paved pathways through the huts. Rustic, yet sturdy, they look like something made be Beatrix Potter. Ducks and Chickens roaming from pond to pond, whilst ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, and budgies slept in the heat. Geese trotted along sluggishly, as we wandered this mini picturesque village.

In my exploration of the adoption center, my heart was filled with joy at seeing the amount of rats that have been saved from euthanasia! Up for loving rat owners to take home with them.
Horses, goats, sheep, and pigs that are residents of the sanctuary chill out in the fields surrounding the area.

A truly amazing way to spend an afternoon.

The Vegan Kind Box 9

So, as anyone who's been following my knows, I subscribe to this wonderful service called TheVeganKind Monthly subscription.
Being vegan is hard no matter where you live, but being a relative newbie, and living in an area where other vegan people barley seem to exist - This little box has helped me out so much.

Once a month I recieve a box full of vegan goodies (be they food, drink, beauty or laundry products) that help me try new things, find new recipes, and brands, etc, etc.
'
Sounds good right?!
So why not join me?

This months box literally just arrived, so I haven't tried anything from it; but it contains;

 'Squeeze' Wheatgrass Juice Shot
CocoBacon superfood snack

Tarot Thursday!

It's that time again!
Tarot Tuesday.

Today's one card reading is a card that keeps appearing in my own personal readings...always pertaining to the present. Maybe we can all take some advice from this card.

The Card

The Mirror

(Traditionally The Hanged Man)

(Wildwood Tarot Deck)

- Looking at things from a new perspective, a time of meditation and reflection. Take some time out, and for now don't worry.
