Each morning I spend time in meditation, study and prayer/asking for wisdom. I have nearly a dozen books sitting next to my meditation cushion ranging from biblical devotionals, self-development, “A Course in Miracles” and several different card decks for accessing our own inner wisdom as well as that of Source.
This morning after meditation I did a basic four-card spread with these gorgeous “Goddesses Knowledge Cards”. ✨
The goddesses that I drew were Hera, Medusa as Pegasus) Psyche, and White Shell Woman.
Hera is symbolic of mature power and wisdom, nurturing, beauty, and luxury. For me, I feel the wisdom imparted is in holding my center in a place of strength.

The second card, Psyche, is the Goddess who fell in love with Eros, god of Love, who flies away when she realizes who he is.
She searches the world for him and is given three “impossible” tasks by Aphrodite, which she completes but over the years of searching and trying to complete these fears, grows from an innocent young girl to a beautiful, mature woman who eventually wins Eros back where they live happily together in their sumptuous castle.
This is a card of transformation, but also of hard work and persistence. Patience has been a constant lesson for me over the past months as I wait for the future I seek to unfold.

When Medusa was slain the spectacular winged Pegasus sprang from her blood. I especially love this story and symbolism. 💫
Medusa was originally a beautiful young girl and priestess of Athena who was raped by Poseidon – and then punished by Athena for the transgression (or possibly granted the wish for revenge against men).
As most of us know, she killed many men who came to the island where she lived in isolation and was eventually killed by Perseus.
To me, this narrative is about how holding anger and hatred makes us ugly and toxic – but transformation into something beautiful and iconic can happen when that part of us is out to death and we experience “rebirth”.

White Shell Woman, creator and sustainer of life of the Navajo people, is a gift giver and mother of two important protectors of the People. I love the chant that is related to her – “All things around me are restored to beauty”. The lesson here feels like restoration and blessing.🥰
The overall theme of my spread is clearly letting go of the toxic sh#t I am dealing with right now, holding my center to persevere, and having patience – so not not natural to me – as I move through powerful changes happening to look forward to a beautiful unfolding transformation.
I feel like this is not only a spread that is incredibly pertinent to my life ATM but also the world in general.
This last year and a half has been all about change, right? And a boatload of toxic bullsh💩t that just seems the ongoing narrative of the world.😣
But if we persevere and hold our center, we can use it as powerful fertilizer to transform into something even better. Or we can hold that sh#t and become the gorgon. Always our choice.
For me, the wisdom, comfort and confirmation (same lessons I’ve been receiving pretty much daily) of these cards helps me to move through my days with greater faith and joy.
I know there will be moments of challenge and even grief as I move through these changes but every day also brings so much beauty and grace – and that is what will hold my focus on, letting that bad stuff go. 👀
Today, I hope this spread might bring you a little guidance, comfort and wisdom, too, my love – and maybe help you “let that 💩 go” to become something better. You deserve it, beautiful one.✨
Much love and happy Fri-yay!💖
