Hey Guys!
Tonight's card is telling us to stay determined and move forward in that determination towards the goal that we have made for ourselves. However along the way there are going to be things that we are not expecting and outcomes that we are not expecting but it is imperative that we are prepared and ready for anything. The number nine in Tarot warns us against extreme pessimism and encourages us to have a positive outlook, but realizing that things do happen and not to be naïve about those things. Stay positive, be prepared, and everything will be okay :-)
Angel Blessings,
Andrew

Hello lovelies!!! I was inexplicably drawn to use the 'Tarot of Vampyres' Deck today. I had no idea why until I actually read the symbol section in the guidebook about this card. The Eight of Knives card tells us that we may feel constricted or tied down. We may feel like there is no way out, or that we are waiting on circumstances that aren't within our control. However, as I looked more into this card, I saw that the Author lists kindred spirits that are attached to each card. In this case, we have 2 Angels, Vembael and Yahohel. Now, you may be wondering why these are important. I am about to tell you. As I researched these Angels and found their specialties, I have to say that it goes perfectly with this card. Vembael is the Angel who helps us when we feel that our lives are going nowhere. When we feel this way, we tend to mistrust others because the human nature wants to blame others. Vembael can lead us away from this behavior and guide us to love and trust. Yahohel, which has noticeable similarities to YAHWEH, is the angel who helps anyone who has copious amounts of anger in their lives. He can break the cycle of evil and put us back where need to be. So Anger and mistrust due to our own human nature can be the very things are holding us back or tying us down. Ask these angels to help you overcome any feeligns like the ones mentioned above. This card also talks about tremendous will to press on and finish what you started. I know the imagery is dark, but it's the lesson, not the image that is important.
Angel Blessings!

Card for 3/30/2015
Todays card is from the "Daily Guidance from your Angels" Oracle Deck. Now, we have gotten this card before, and each time I always stress the importance of positive thinking, which isn't wrong considering the wording on this card. But I want to take it one step further. Positive thoughts are just a foundation on which our words and actions are built. Positive thinking isn't enough. Is it essential? No doubt about! Can we rely on just that? Nope. The beautiful thing about Positive thinking is that, assuming you practice it regularly, your actions and words will start to become more and more positive! So when our thoughts, words, AND actions, are positive, there is no limit to the amount of power that we possess! Ask your Angels and Spirit Guides for help with this and you will be amazed at what you receive!!
Angel Blessings!

Card of the Day, 3/24/2015
Today we have the 'Fortune' card from the 'Tarot of the Vampyres'! This is such a wonderfully beautiful card! I was shocked when I first saw it! This card is telling us that the wheel of the Universe is in constant motion, never changing or stopping. It is the wheel of destiny and fate. When we see the Fortune card, it tells us that change and movement are inevitable. Life is full of endings that lead to beginnings and then the end of those beginnings. It is up to us to keep up with this particular movement of the Universe, and adapt to our ever changing culture, thoughts and ideas. Nothing stays the same for long. That is something we have to accept. Change is always for the better, even when we don't see it like that. This card can also talk about unexpected gifts and opportunities! One thing that sticks out to me is that there is the Wheel, but thorns are behind it. This tells me to tell you that the wheel is still spinning during those thorny times in our lives and to never lose hope that things are still working in your favor, even if you are in a garden filled with thorns. When I looked at the Symbolism section in the book about this card, so much is drawn out!! There are 3 Vampyre creatures on this wheel, the serpent to the left who represents the negative force of retrospection and dissipation or decay (winter), the panther to the right which represents the positive creative and active energy that initiates the fires of life (summer), and the Sphinx-like creature at the top of the wheel that is made up of the four elemental animals whose particular role is the preserver and connecters of the other polarities, allowing the wheel to churn out everything into existence. All in all, this is a card rich with symbolism to the point that it is just absolutely mind blowing.
Angel Blessings!
