Oracle Card Journey for the Collective

I woke up this morning feeling like it was necessary and important to pull some oracle cards. Not a simple pull too, with one card and its description, but a full journey. Not even a card spread really. The journey makes itself clear when the cards come out and arrange themselves in a way that tells a story.

How I Read Cards

Before I get into the card reading for you all, here's how I actually work with my cards for a reading.

I start by setting my intention like always then I begin to shuffle the cards to mix them up. I shuffle about three times minimum always. I don't know why, it just feels right. Shuffle as much as you want.

After shuffling I start to shift the cards from my right hand to my left, I do this at a rhythmic speed that allows for the cards to flip and fly when they need to. I have to lick my left thumb a bit to get a good kind of traction on the cards as I move them from my right to my left, just like when you lick your finger to grab a tricky book page.

I will consider any cards that come out to be part of the reading if they fly out or flip upside down. Even when some just turn and poke out of the deck I will feel out if they are part of the reading or not before pulling them.

Sometimes the cards get excited and a bunch will fly out at once, too large of a section, to which I just put them back in the deck and say "settle down a bit, that's too many, try again" and will continue on.

Sometimes I will start moving the cards and will ask for a number of them. If I have two cards already and want just one more I'll ask for just one more and the next one that flies out is it.

Once I have my cards, I make sure I have them all flipped the right way. I rarely read reversals unless it's a specific deck or I feel led to do so for a reading. And reversals are mainly used in tarot which is different from oracle cards.

I will glance through them all together and when I do, I start to see a theme or story emerge. There is a clear meaning to the way they come out together that becomes clear when I look at them in relationship with eachother. Once that is clear to me, I will start to channel what each card has to say. This is like hearing or seeing in my mind Spirit's words related to the card and is interpreted for the person or collective the reading is for.

It’s also important to remember that when you are finished with your reading, give a thank you to your deck for being so helpful! A thank you to your guides, Spirit, the Universe always go a long way too.

Today’s Oracle Cards

Today's deck is the Sacred Traveler deck by Denise Linn. I really love this deck. It's light, cheerful, and encouraging. It has the energy of coziness and a supportive community.

The cards that came out today came flying out of the deck out of order. Meaning, my intuition showed me which order the cards should be in regardless of when they flung out of the deck.

This is what creates a story. The oracle cards arrangement tell of a journey through the moment. And as you'll see in today's cards, the mind has a path of evolution, the story in the cards explain a kind of step by step or a process for the intended people receiving and resonating with this reading.

I will walk you through the cards, see the bottom of the blog for a picture of them in order.

Keep in mind that even if the message was shared today, it is timeless and still has meaning whenever it resonates for you. That’s the beauty of these messages, they find you in your own timing.

The Reading Begins…

The first card in our journey is Overcoming Obstacles. It says, "You can overcome anything."

The main thing I am getting from this card is that there is a struggle of a sort. Right now there is tension around something or there is something that is challenging you. You may feel emotions of defeat even though you haven't been defeated. A kind of pre acceptance of your failure that Spirit says is not valid and kind of dumb to be feeling so early. We need to shift this mindset in order for you to overcome.

Next we have Cleansing Waters and the message "Purification activates vibrant life force."

This card is alluding to your need to cleanse your energy and space to remove the dull and stagnant energy that is keeping you in an unserving mindset. Easy ways to cleanse your energy include smudging and burning sage or palo santo in your space and around your aura, showering and intending the water to cleanse and purify your body while allowing all to melt off and go down the drain, swimming in the lake to float and melt into nature, and more.

It's important that you be more aware of what is affecting you and causing you to feel energetically heavy or clogged. Are there people that make you feel worse that you have to set a boundary with? Are you supporting yourself and your body in the best ways so that you are fortified for any challenges that arive? What are you thinking, believing, and telling yourself? Does that truly serve you or support you?

After that is Finding Sanctuary which says, "Opening to your spiritual source."

There is a request of your guides and protectors that you open your mind to your intuition and lean less into doubt and more into curiousity. Your angels, guides, and loved ones can't reach you if you are not open and allowing them to fill your life with their signs, synchronicities, and support. You have to make the conscious effort to try and let them in. Try saying outloud to yourself, "I trust in my intuition to share with me the best and most supportive information. I desire and open myself to receiveing the highest good of messages and signs for my wellbeing. Thank you." Really feel into what you are saying and take some deep breaths to calm your body and mind.

We also have Joy and Delight that says, "Open your heart to joy."

The Universe, Spirit, your loved ones and guides are always around to share in your joy. To offer you experiences that stun and encourage your belief in something more. It's a great thing to request surprises from the Universe just for the fun of it. See what they can show you and what can be created from being excited for the possibilities! Do more of what lights you up. A little planned or focus fun for yourself each day can mean the start of a great day or the joyful closing of one. Joy and delight is what we are guaranteed as humans, we have the capacity for large amounts of it so make it happen or allow Spirit to surprise you.

Next is the card Rainbow Blessings which shares, "Blessings are showering your life."

Once we are clear of energetic sludge, guided by our intuition, vibrating on the levels of joy and delight, we are aligned for the array of blessings ready for us. Often we think of blessings as the large things we dream about and hope for and how blessed we'd be if that were to happen. BUT the truth of it is that there are an incredible amount of things right in front of us that we have in our hands right now that we can see as blessings. Getting into the vibration of gratefulnes for those blessings only attracts more and allows a direct line to you. Here's how to start.. Grab a journal and a fun tool to write with. Start listing everything in sight that you are grateful for. No matter the size or the value or the function. Go around your space and find the things that you feel blessed to have.

For example..

My list as I sit here writing this for you:

I am blessed for my adorable cat, healthy plants that add green space to my room, the soft sheep skins that my cat curls up on, my tv, my bedding that's so soft, my books, my candle, my crystals, my air purifier, my window clings that make my room a rainbow in the sunlight, my phone charger, my computer, my lamp, my yarn and knitting things, my back foam roller. SERIOUSLY get into the list and find all the things you are happy to have.

Continue building your list, in bullet point form or paragraph form, list things and see how much you can get that list to be. Move to a different part of the house if you need a visual aid. Make this your daily practice for a small set of time for a week and see how your mindset changes and what additional blessings find you.

Lastly we have the card Uncovering Treasure which says, "Beneath the surface lies great bounty."

If you look back through our oracle card story/journey. There is a clear series of events that helps us get from stuck with obstacles and feeling challenged, to clear intuition, clear mind and heart, and seeing the shift of energy that allows us to view and receive our blessings. Add to that the treasure that is within reach when you make this self awareness and care a regular habit. Going back to the basics and simple tasks can sometimes serve you greater than if you were to set them aside to focus on the complex. You uncover your own treasure when you have a solid foundation of tools and tasks to keep you centered and grounded. Beneath the surface is not more complexity but more clarity. Your own inner wisdom and genius is one treasure you uncover with good practices.

When you can see your own treasure, talents, and self power, even more flocks to you like a magnet. The opportunities and clear paths ahead through struggles show up clear and with ease. Challenges can still feel like challenges but there's a trust in your own abilities to seek a way forward and support yourself and enforce your healthy boundaries along the way. The treasure has been yours and will always be yours.

With that said, the journey is now yours to continue. If any part of this oracle card reading resonated with you, please leave a comment below or reach out to let me know!
