I'm Back!!

Sorry for the disappearing act, but hopefully I can get back in full swing.  At the beginning of the 2011 year I was faced with many changes in my life- including moving to Texas and dealing with my mother's stroke. This, unfortunately kept me from doing spells and blogging each day.

I hope to return and continue to share my experience as I continue my path to becoming a witch.

Today I did my first Tarot card reading on myself.  I did a quick 4 card spread to answer a question.  My question concerned my son and the outcome is very promising.  At first, I was a little taken back, not to mention a little frightened, by the cards that came up.  They were as follows:

Past - The Devil


Present - Temperance


Future - Death


Outcome - 3 of Wands


After researching their meanings,  I have interpreted these in a very positive way.

The devil in the past position very much describes my struggles with discipline and power with my son.  He is one of the most defiant kids I have ever seen!!  My heart hurts when I think about the issues my husband and I face each day trying to deal with him and keep our sanity.  I love him more than anything, yet he is very difficult to live with.

For the present position, the Temperance card describes our current situation to the tee.  My son recently decided to go live with his father.  Partially do to his discipline issues and partially because he missed his friends from Louisiana something awful.  I feel bad for him because I know how hard it is to move away from your friends.  I also know how it feels to have a hard time making and keeping friends, as he does.  My heart aches for him in so many ways.  So, this cards represents our taking a break and trying to find balance.

For the future position, Death tells me that there will be a transformation and change.  I feel he will eventually mature into a magnificent young man and will find his way back home to me and my husband.  We love him very much and truly miss having him around.

The Three of Wands signifies a promising outcome.  Supporting the death card it tells me that we will begin a better chapter in our lives.

I am very happy with my first reading and excited about the outcome.  I look forward to learning more about the powers of the tarot.
