The Hermit Witch, Biggar, SK (2025)

I haven't taken a break in awhile and feel the need to give myself a rest this week. I'll be back with a new wheel August 11th. In the meantime, everyone give those intuitions a good exercise! Listen to your heart, listen to your body. ❤️

This Fairytale Friday it's time to have lessons deep in the forest. Banjhakri and Banjhakrini are trickster shamanic forest spirits that are considered to be the founders of Nepali Shamanism. They kidnap children and teach them the ways of shamanism, releasing them back to their communities to use their new found knowledge.

The three of Pentacles is about working together as a group to create something biggar and more amazing than what one person could do alone.

It's also a reminder that what you create as a collaboration may be serving the community. And it does not go without recognition. So how does this connect to the rest of this week's message?

Taking care of yourself and listening to what you need and want isn't selfish. Knowing your own boundaries and how you work also helps you find where you fit in a group, and your community. You will not only be able to serve yourself, but also the people around you. People need to feel a sense of purpose and belonging and that they are also contributing and included.

Knowing yourself is the first step to Knowing your community and feeling like you belong to something bigger.

The Emperor appearing in the Healing position of this week's medicine wheel suggests that after this deep check-in with your inner self you may find an entirely new way of being.

This process will bring you to a place where you will need to create your own set of rules, discipline and routine that will help you find stability and control over your life. Usually the Emperor represents a father figure or a person of authority. In this case the wheel is saying you have come to a place where you need to be that for yourself.

Maybe following the rules and routines set upon you by others, be it parent's rules you still hold onto from childhood, or societies unspoken rules we follow blindly, are no longer serving you. Maybe they never have and you are just discovering how unhealthy they were for you.

Whatever the origins of these old rules may be, embrace new ones that serve you and your life's purpose.

Having the Star show up in the Manifestation position this week right across from this week's Vision of the Nine of Pentacles on the Medicine Wheel is quite beautiful.

It's reminding us that in the dark there is always still a bit of light. The Star in the night sky. The silver lining on a cloudy day. When things seem to be going wrong, there is always something we can find to give us hope.

Use your inner guidance suggested by the High Priestess on this week's wheel and you will also be able to find that hope. Maybe a new sense of optimism or something to look forward to after struggling for so long.

After you have cleared the mental cobwebs and really listened to yourself and found what's important to you, then maybe you will even know what you want as a higher purpose. What's your guiding light, or pole star that will keep you focused on your chosen path going forward?

Our Power card this week is giving us an answer to yesterday's Vision card. The High Priestess is saying, trust your heart, trust your intuition.

When things have us all wound up in our thoughts and we find we can not logic our way out of it, then it is time to let our emotions and intuition weigh in.

If you have already weighed all the pros and cons and played out all the scenarios and you still feel so very overwhelmed, then it is time to breath, slow down, close your eyes and listen to your inner self.

Some situations don't have an ultimate one right solution. In these cases, you need to turn to what feels right for you. You have to consider what you need, but also what you want or desire. What not only meets your physical needs, but also feeds your soul.

Knowledge is not just mental acuity. It includes our experience, and our emotions. The combination of all three and how we choose to use them could possibly be wisdom.

Our Vision card for this week is the Nine of Swords.

This week we are being given a warning that we may be getting too much in our heads about things. Does it feel like the internal chatter in your mind is getting a bit too overwhelming?

The best way to describe this card is "the neverending nightmare" which is definitely what it feels like if you have a habit of getting caught in endless circles of negative thinking. Do you constantly cycle worse case scenarios in your mind, or worry about people judging you and thinking the worst of you?

It's time to get out of these cycles and find a way to change your perspective and get out of your head. This may be as simple as getting outside more or starting a new project. Or it may be time to consider meditation or counseling. It all depends on just how much these negative thoughts are affecting your life.

It's definitely time for us to look at what's going on in our heads.

Our Fairytale this Friday is the Little Matchstick Girl by Hans Christian Anderson. A poor girl afraid to go home to an abusive father because she did not sell all her matches, sits in an alley, lighting the matches to keep warm. She sees amazing visions of all things she finds beautiful, kind, and warm. Including her loving grandmother, who comes to take her to heaven in the end.

The Five of Coins carries the lesson that has been running through this week's entire medicine wheel. Focus on what you have. Traditionally this card shows two poor and injured people with their backs to a church. They are so focused on all that is wrong that they do not see the warm church in which they could find refuge.

What resources and skills have you ignored or taken for granted? It's time to utilize them and show them off! Be proud of what you can do and what you have and use it all to move onward and upward in your life.

Also, who in your life is there for you? It's okay to lean on other's when you can't do it alone. What would have happened if the Little Matchstick girl had found refuge in a church herself?

Setbacks may happen, and when they do, just keep working with what you have.

Our Healing card this week is the Fool. We are starting on a new journey and we are leaving all the old behind.

It's time for a fresh start. Looking at everything with a fresh, new, optimistic perspective. It's time to find your sense of wonder again. Like you are seeing everything for the first time.

You are entering new territory if you have never seized control and confidence in your own manifesting abilities. So don't be afraid of taking new risks or trying new things. Its okay if it isn't perfect or a bit messy. You are learning.

If you want to find progress and growth, you have to also leave room for failure and humility. Its okay to make mistakes, it's okay to not have all the answers. Its part of the adventure!

The Five of Cards is our Manifestation for this week. On the card we can see someone from the Queen of Hearts royal court focused on the fallen hats (cups). These represent your past failures. Are you focusing on what didn't work or what you regret about your past?

The two hats behind him represent what he does have, and what is working for him. What in your life are you taking for granted? It's time to focus on your wins going forward. If you want to manifest your dreams and desires you need to ride the wave of what you got going for you.

You manifest more of what you focus on. The running message so far is life is what you make of it. So grab those wins and be proud of them!

Our Power card this week is the Tower. We may be the Magician this week. A powerful role to have. But this card reminds us that our power isn't in controlling the circumstances, but how we act and react within the circumstances.

When Alice grows into a giant in the White Rabbit's house, he begins to panic and stress, seizing control and micromanaging Bill the Lizard's every move to only create more chaos. Whereas Alice has to sit back and observe everything and sees the solution quickly.

The Tower is about a possibly destructive, life changing event. How you cope with it is what will determine the outcome. Will it be negative or positive in the end? That all depends on what you decide to do.

Life changing events happen to everyone. Your power and magic lies in what you decide to do in the moment.

This week's Vision is brought to us by the Magician. In the Alice in Wonderland deck it is embodied by Lewis Carroll himself. The creator of the story.

This week, remember that you are the creator of your own story. The Manifestor of your own life. The Alchemist, turning any situation towards your desire.

How you view your reality is exactly how it will turn out to be. So it's important what kind of attitude you have and what kind of action you take. Have confidence in yourself and the power you have to get done what you need to get done.

For Fairytale Friday, we welcome Scheherazade as our High Priestess. Many of us probably don't recognize that name. But you may have heard of One Thousand and One Nights. Scheherazade was one of many noble virgins wed to an Arabic monarch to spite his first wife. He married a new virgin every night and had her beheaded the next morning.

But Scheherazade postponed her own death by telling a new exciting story every night (Aladdin and the magic lamp is one of her stories), running out of time to tell the end. Leaving the monarch in suspense, he would give her one more night to finish it. Well, 1001 nights and three new children later, she runs out of stories. But the monarch values her wisdom so much that he pardons her.

The High Priestess card is saying to trust your own intuition and experiences as you go forward. Ultimately what choice you make, to go forward on a new opportunity or stay where you are right now, is your's. Only you know deep down inside what is good for you at this moment.

Do you want more experience and to accumulate more life stories to tell? Only getting outside your comfort zone can achieve that. When we are pressed by uncomfortable situations and challenged by the unknown, only our guts can tell us what to do in the moment. Trust it. And you just might have the right story for the right situation.
