Oracle cards.

I have always been hands down a Tarot card person, I've never really read the runes, I've never liked "spirit" cards or the "medicine" cards. That was until I was told "Oh just play with my oracle cards." Holy goddess was I instantly in love with them. I first started playing with the

Goddess Oracle deck, beautiful stunning colors, amazing definitions. Oh! and they made sense! Spot on, I have never ever read cards that were as accurate as these were. So. I bought myself a deck. Same ones, I bought myself these rocked. I loved them. My boss at work was talking about how she wanted a deck for her birthday so Off I trot to the  Karmic Konnection and purchase another deck. This time the Enchanted Map deck. I gave my boss the choice she could choose the ones she liked the best. That means I got to keep the enchanted map deck.

I absolutely love how accurate they are. What is annoying though is these, where sometimes the tarot deck will sugar coat things, the Oracle cards sort of bitch slap you and say "Listen up punk, you'll either listen do what you need to do, or guess what...you will keep repeating the same mistakes...over..and over..and over again". I love how brutally honest these decks are.

What is further cool about them, is how with Tarot generally each card has the same meaning in each deck, with Oracle cards this is not the case. At all. Each deck has their own ideology and the like. You do have to sort of watch though. For me, a great many decks are very Christian. That makes me very extremely uncomfortable. I would say I wish that they would almost put a warning sign up. "warning, christian ideology abounds" or something.

Within the Enchanted map tarot deck, this is my favorite card. I'm not sure why exactly but it absolutely speaks to me.

Paranormal Activities.....at work.

As some of you know, I am making (by hand the shirt, by machine the kilt) Jorah Mormonts outfit from Game of thrones, for one of the guys at work. J and I were sitting there talking about the outfit, and how hard it was to find pictures of the actors ass so I could figure out how the kilt actually looked. I have odd conversations at work. Possibly the strangest being "I need to know what side you dress on so your baby momma doesn't come kill me when your bits don't work after you sit down". It's been an odd week to be perfectly honest. How many places can you work when it is perfectly acceptable for someone to say "Hey here is my measurements, it's on the left and btw, don't worry about the jewels it's an open kilt not chaps". With out any one blinking an eye?

So anyway, back to the paranormal activities, as many of you know I have lately become somewhat obsessed with Sekhmet, and a friend of mine who had seen me reading another book about solitary witchcraft came up to me while we were talking about Jorah Mormonts ass, and said "I need to talk to you right now." The guy looked like death had come and slapped him and said "Bitch you're mine".

So we work in a call center, it isn't exactly easy to have a private conversation, so we talked briefly. He's been having trouble at home looking for say the car keys and they will turn the house upside down looking for the car keys and then find them exactly where they looked the first time. R and D have been fighting constantly over this. I gave him the book Invoking the Egyptian gods, and told him to read the chapter on Sekhmet. He was worried about not having any white robes, me being the practical Witch that I am stated "Dude, white t-shirt and bvds...it works man the Gods don't care what it is as long as you make it mean something".

I gathered up a ouija board for him, as well as some sage and a few protective emblems. Some black stones. Gave him a few talismans, and the like. I gave him a tarot deck, and I swear the peace that is around him right now is crazy. He gave me one of his ear gauges...when he gave it to me we both got a very sharp shock...later that night I was meditating with the gauge, and then went into the kitchen for some boiling water to drink touched my daughters shoulder and her and I both almost buckled the shock was so strong. Obviously something is going on here, I have no idea exactly what....but this is pretty interesting.
