This month's card is Exuberance, from Denise Linn’s new Mystical Garden Oracle deck. This card invites us into the part of the mystical garden where the wildflowers are blooming and the fairies are playing among them. There are Cumulus clouds billowing in the sky- looking like a thunderstorm might be approaching- but for now all in the garden is Fairy business as usual. As I stared at this card I began to wonder, do Fairies play? Or is play the nature of their work? In myt

This month, we are invited into the Mystical Garden to gather around the Fountain of Rejuvenation for healing. Healing can happen on many levels—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. And truly, healing in any one of those areas is a meaningful win. I love the imagery of this card, calling us to gather around a fountain.

And

A Winter Pep Talk: Stepping Into Your Power I think it may be time for a little winter pep talk. The holidays are behind us. January has come and gone. And now winter truly settles in across the Northern Hemisphere. For many people, this is the hardest stretch—the shorter days, the quiet after all the planning and celebration. Somewhere in February, a moment arrives when you look around and wonder: What is it that I am supposed to DO? This month’s card is Stepping Into Power

“ Where attention goes, energy flows.” If we accept this as truth, then what better place to direct our attention this month than toward delight ? What better way to round out a year than by noticing the delightful—delight in your life, delight you can cultivate, and delight you can spark in someone else’s world? What does delight feel like? Delight is a momentary spark—an elevated emotion that makes you smile, lifts your spirit, and brings you fully into the present. It ofte
