Peering Into The Mirror with Carol, Altona, MB (2025)

11/23/2025

There is no card reveal this weekend. I am unavailable until Tuesday the 25th.

11/16/2025

How is your November going? If you need something to focus on, here is your card reveal for this week:

#1 - Pine Spirit - Purification

A soft layer of snow has shrouded the pines of the sacred forest. You can sense the formidable life force surging through each tree, even in the deepest winter. As you brush up against a branch, the snow is dislodged and softly falls to the forest floor. With simply the lightest touch of the pine needles, you can feel your entire energy field being purified. Your energy field is being cleansed of all that it doesn’t need. Traditionally, pine branches have been used in cleansing ceremonies because ancient people revered their purifying qualities. (The essential oil of pine is antibacterial and antiseptic as well, which is useful for protecting people from harmful bacteria.). This card’s appearance is a message to release what doesn’t serve, support, or empower you. Let go of anything that feels dull and murky in your life. Cleanse your body and your environment by doing cleaning, space clearing, clutter-clearing. When your auric field is cluttered and energy is dingy, you can’t see the world clearly and will have trouble hearing the messages from Spirit. The time has come to lighten up! Eat and live lightly. Before a shiny, vibrant, new cycle can begin, it is essential to let go of the old. The brilliance that pours through you can then shine throughout your life and also help many people…but first the path has to be made clear. The Spirit of the Pine says: Let go of the old, discarded, and unused. Purify and cleanse and clutter-clear your home, your body, and your life. Release whatever doesn’t serve or support you. Take time for a total purification. You’ll feel brighter and also be a clearer channel for the light.

#2 - Thicket of Thorns - Uncertainty

You have found yourself in a thick briar patch. When you try to go forward, the branches entangle you. When you attempt to go back, thorns prevent your movement. No matter what direction you try, there are blockages. To move causes pain from the long, sharp thorns. Stop struggling. Stop moving. Breathe, relax…and magically, the thicket opens to reveal a sparkling path out. When we talk about something that is “thorny,” it means that it is difficult or challenging. If it feels that you are stuck in some area of life, you’re right. When you are truly uncertain about what direction to take, be still. Do not struggle to get ahead, as you’ll only immerse yourself even deeper in the briars. The first step to move forward is to acknowledge where you are. Instead of asserting that you’re not stuck, accept the truth. The Universe desires your success. It only requires that you wait until the path is ready for you. Acknowledge the truth of the situation, wait until you have a clear direction, then slowly and methodically take action. In the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty, an impenetrable thorny hedge surrounds a sleeping princess, the royal family, and everyone in the castle. For a hundred years, many princes tried to make their way to her through the thicket, but to no avail. Finally, a prince passed…and the thicket opened for him, so he was able to find the princess with ease. The message here is to trust in divine timing. The prince is triumphant because he appears at the right time. When the time is right, EVERYTHING falls into place. The Spirit of the Thicket of Thorns says: Timing is everything. Let go of the struggle. You’ll gain great rewards.

#3 - Storm Spirit - Chaos

A fierce and massive storm has overtaken the forest. Trees are whipping back and forth. A torrent of rain pounds your head and shoulders. Crashes of thunder shake the earth, as ragged shards of lightning illuminate the dark woods. This card acknowledges potential chaos (or the need for chaos) as an activator for healing in your life. Spiritual chaos allows for the dissolution of outmoded beliefs so expansive, energetic life-force energy can fill your life. If you are experiencing upheaval right now, know that the underlying energy is restorative. Embrace it rather than deny or suppress it. You are being healed on all levels. Of course, take time to find the calm in the storm, but also understand that the chaos can be beneficial in many ways. It can activate your creative life force. Alternatively, if your life is too calm, to the point of being stagnant, this card suggests that it might be time to create some chaos in your life. Try doing things differently; step out of old routines. If you are always early, be late. Beneath the surface, profound shifts and transformations are occurring. Although many assume nothing good comes from a massive storm, every part of nature has value. For example, downed trees provide habitats for many kinds of animals. And lightning helps fertilize the soil. There is enough electrical energy in lightning to separate the nitrogen atoms in the air, which fall to the earth with the rain and combine with minerals to form nitrates, a type of fertilizer. Look for the silver lining in the current upheaval. The Spirit of the Storm says: Shred outmoded thinking and self-imposed blockages. Tear down walls of self-imposed limitations. Step into chaos and embrace it, rather than trying to suppress it. Do the unexpected.

11/15/2025

Which one do you choose this week? We are still being battered by intense solar activity, mercury is still retrograde, and we have the upcoming new moon on Thursday! Stay, grounded, hydrated, and nourished.

11/10/2025

I am unavailable until Wednesday. Wishing you a happy 11/11 portal tomorrow!

11/09/2025

Welcome to mercury retrograde!! Here’s something to focus on for this week, which one did you pick?

#1 - Wise Woman of the Grove - Grace

The Wise Woman of the Grove steps forward and hands you an intricately carved wooden box. “This is my gift to you. Guard it well.” With care you open the box. Inside rests a perfect ruby. It sparkles in the light. “This is a Joy Activator,” she says. “Hold it to your heart, and all around you, in all directions, all beings will relax and find joy in the moment. Joy is the great gift that you can give another. It is a gift of Grace.” When this card chooses you, you are at the advent of a remarkable time of ease, wisdom, healing, joy, and inspiration. Your ability to hear the voices of Spirit is rapidly expanding. Spirit guardians are watching over you with immense love and kindness. Being in the state of grace means being blessed by divine forces. Grace can mean having enough inner nobility that even if you know your opinion is absolutely right, you don’t push the point. You are willing to drop it - knowing that in the great scheme of things, it’s not that important. Besides, the Creator knows the truth of the situation, even if others don’t. There are times to be abruptly, starkly honest, but this isn’t one of them. Be diplomatic and gracious in your interactions with others. Speak with love and kindness. The Spirit of the Wise Woman of the Grove says: You can relax and let go, your path is guided. Spiritual nobility is growing within you. The spirit of grace is softly unfolding in your life. Kindly honor the truth of others, even if you don’t agree or if you know better. The Creator knows the truth.

#2 - Air Spirit - Knowledge

As you stand in the center of the forest, a subtle breeze lovingly touches your cheeks. Gentle gusts rustle the leaves above you as the spirit of air approaches upon her boat of light and wind. In the quietude, you sense the wind whispering messages to you from Spirit. You receive this card when you need to think things through. This is not the time to be impulsive. Do not react instinctively to situations and people. Take into consideration all points of view. Do your research. Listen to others. Speak your truth. Take time to weigh the pros and cons of a situation. It is an excellent time to begin a new venture or project. It will succeed as long as you are thoughtful, organized, and focused. There is a remarkable wellspring of wisdom within you. Take a breath, slow and deep, and delve into that knowledge. It will guide you in the right direction. Air represents wisdom, our mental activity, and our ability to reason. It’s also associated with thoughts, intellect, communication, and comprehension. Through our breath, we can speak and express ourselves. Our lives begin with our first breath, so air is connected with new beginnings. The Spirit of Air oversees friendship, clarity, and positive focus in life. The Spirit of Air says: Take a moment to think things through. THINK as well as FEEL the right direction. Get clarity and become focused before stepping forth. Take care to have thoughtful communication with others.

#3 - Unicorn - Purity

You peer through the tall oak trees into a sacred meadow. In the center of the meadow, illuminated by a single ray of sunlight, stands a radiant, noble, pure white unicorn. The aura around it shimmers, wavers, and sparkles, as if the unicorn was lit from within by a thousand dancing stars. This card can appear when you are ready to step into the innocence of a child and see the world with the eyes of wonder. Traditionally, unicorns represent purity, innocence, hope, faith, high ideals…and miracles. When you stop looking at the world through the lens of your past, you’ll find how fresh and wondrous the Universe truly is. The past doesn’t need to define you - know that life can begin fresh and new. This card can also appear when there is the need for inner purification and renewal. Take time to release what doesn’t serve and support you in life…and watch the miracles unfold. Unicorns are symbols of miracles, magic, and enchanted living. This legendary creature can call the seemingly impossible into reality. If you have a dream that has eluded you for a while, this card is letting you know that all things are possible. The purity of your heart is emerging, and it’s time for sweet innocence to flood your being. Purify your life, step into your innate innocence, and believe in miracles. They are coming! The Spirit of the Unicorn says: No matter what happened in your life, step into your innate innocence. You have pure soul. You are a child of the Creator. Let go of the past and see the world with new eyes, and almost miraculously, wonders will abound.

11/08/2025

As the full moon energies begin to wind down tomorrow, mercury goes full on retrograde tomorrow, plus we are dealing with continued intense solar storms. Keep hydrating, grounding and eating nourishing foods at this time. And in the meantime, which card will help give you something to focus on?

11/03/2025

Here is your card reveal for this upcoming supermoon full moon week:

#1 - Bluebell Fairy - Gratitude

The early morning forest is shrouded in low-lying mists. As you step into the meadow, you glimpse heavenly blue flowers seeming to float above the mist. Their deep color draws you closer. Each bell-shaped blossom bows down on its stem, as if in prayer, humility, or gratitude. Gratitude is the secret to a joy-filled life. True thankfulness can work like modern-day alchemy, yielding happiness and peace, beyond imagination. And it’s so simple: Find what’s good and wonderful in every moment. No matter what’s happening around you, there’s always something to be grateful for. Whatever you appreciate in life will grow, so discover what you’re thankful for - even the people and situations you’ve found challenging - and watch miracles unfold. The Universe is grateful for you! Appreciation for everything flows through you in great bounty. Cherish the preciousness of life and everyone and everything around you, and miracles will abound. In addition to gratitude, bluebells are thought to symbolize humility. As you step into the soft, gentle energy of humbleness, you’ll find that your gratitude for even the smallest things in life expands. Bluebells open the door to magic. Legends describe ”ringing” the bluebell, like you would a bell, in order to bring fairies to you. In the spring, bluebells grow throughout the woodlands in a lush carpet, and you can feel the magic simply by being near. The Spirit of the Bluebell Fairy says: The more gratitude that you have, the more bounty will fill your life. Cherish the preciousness of all things, and joy will fill your life. The Universe is thankful for you.

#2 - Wolf Spirit - Family

You are napping on the forest floor, nestled on soft moss, when a wet nose nudges you. You open your eyes to meet the gaze of an enormous wolf. As you sit up, you notice an entire pack is sitting around you. You feel so very safe…and strangely included as a part of this clan. Your family has your back. For some people, their family are those related by blood, while for others their friends are their true family. Many might find that it is their connection to those in spirit who are, indeed, their true family. Whoever and wherever your family, right now they are supporting you. You are safe. You can safely communicate your truth with family members. This is the time to be willing to communicate from the depth of your being. Be willing to stand, talk, and address others from the center of your being. This heals! Many people have misconceptions and false stereotypes about wolves. They don’t understand that wolves are highly social and loyal. Family means everything to a wolf. Each pack member has a place in the social strata of the clan. Wolves also are excellent communicators. They use their voice in various configurations; they also use their expressions to convey meaning to other pack members. They are highly protective of the other members of their pack, yet they enjoy playing, even into adulthood. The Spirit of the Wolf says: Support us all around you, even if you are not aware of it. Release the belief that you have to do it alone - you don’t. This is the time to heal any rifts in your family. Give encouragement to those in your Soul Tribe, your family, and your community. Allow yourself to be supported.

#3 - Wizard Of The Woods - Focus

A wisp of smoke rises out of the glade, and in an instant the smoke transforms into a wizard. His long grey beard reaches halfway down his chest, and his iridescent, shimmering robe constantly changes from various hues of green - deep emerald to light spring green, to the bright color of grass in the summertime. He leans toward you, lowers his voice, and says, “Your wish is my command. However, you must be very clear and focused on what you truly desire.” There is true magic in the world. However, to experience it you must be able to direct your attention in the direction of your dreams. Thoughts are things, and as you focus your thoughts toward the good, you will attract more positive experiences and loving people into your life. If you direct your thoughts toward that which isn’t working, you will create even more challenging situations. If you are pleased with the direction you are going, concentrate on what you desire - not what you don’t want. To develop inner power, gather your energy and focus intently on ONE thing. Also, diminish activities that aren’t essential to this goal, and it will be just a matter of time until miracles begin to unfold. The Spirit of the Wizard of the Woods says: Put your attention on what’s worthwhile, loving, and beautiful; that’s what will manifest in your life. What you focus on is what you create. This is the time to choose just one thing to focus on, rather than a slew of things, and watch miracles abound.

11/02/2025

Full moon on Wednesday with it being a supermoon and still being hit with intense solar storms/flares. Here is something to focus on for the week, which one calls to you?

10/27/2025

⭐️💫 You didn’t come here to repeat what’s been done. You came to rewrite the story. To heal what others hid. To break what others passed down. To become what never existed before. 🫶

Drop a 🤍 if you feel this.

Tag someone walking the path of the cycle breaker. 🍃✨️

10/26/2025

Here is your card reveal for the week;

#1 - Earth Spirit - Stability

In the lazy quietude of a warm summer afternoon, you recline on the soft moss on the forest floor and listen to the heartbeat of the earth. Her rhythmic cadence surges up from the ground beneath you. With each beat, you remember who you are and what is truly important in life. The strengthening, grounding energy of the earth is filling every part of you. It’s time to take measure of your life and put your roots down. Assess who you are and where you are. Make plans for the future, but don’t act on those plans until you feel secure in stepping forward. This is the time of preparation and going deeper. This card can also indicate that you aren’t grounded and you need to create more stability into your life. Think things through before you take action. Take time to plan your future carefully. Don’t rush into anything. Strength is growing within you. Security and protection surround you. You are safe. If you’re thinking of making secure financial investments and receive this card, it’s telling you that this is a good time to do so; it’s not a time to take risks. The Earth Spirit provides the trees, plants, flowers, rivers, streams, oceans, mountains, and valleys, and supports us all with her bounty. She’s stable and strong in her devotion to us. You’re supported and loved, even if you’re not always sure of it. The seeds that you plant now will bring abundance in the future, but only if you take the time to nurture those new beginnings. The Spirit of the Earth says: Be present in the moment. Slow down and let go of the busyness and frenetic pace of life. Explore your roots. Honor your past. Go deeper. Reflect on your life.

#2 - Wood Nymph - Beauty

Looking fragile, delicate, and luminescent, three wood nymphs, sometimes called Forest Queens, are stretched out in the moss at the base of a tree. Bathing in the moonlight, their flowing gossamer gowns sparkle and shimmer, seemingly made out of light. Their dreams and visions, translucent and diaphanous, waver in the air above them. Radiant, glorious beauty is growing within you. Let beauty be your North Star to guide you. What feels as well as what looks lovely will sustain and nourish you. Your ability to see inner depths around you is in direct correlation with a remarkable, sumptuous life. Create harmony and peace within your home; even doing so in small ways - such as a vase of flowers, a scented candlelit bath - can make a difference. Relax and surround yourself with comfort and elegance. The more you acknowledge beauty - in your environment, in yourself, in others - the more it will fill your life. You are truly and utterly gorgeous and lovable. As you cherish yourself, the luminescence around you will grow. The nymphs of Ancient Greek folklore are beautiful supernatural beings of the forest. Their appearance here symbolizes that your own beauty; both inner and outer, is growing. There are many accounts of travellers walking through a forest and seeing wood nymphs bathing in the sunlight in a grotto, or next to a stream or pool, singing or dancing. Follow the example of the nymphs: relax, spend time in nature, and sing and dance with joy. The Spirit of the Wood Nymph says: Remarkable spiritual beauty is growing within you. Be aware of the beauty that is around you, and splendor will expand in your life. Create beauty in your home, even in the smallest ways, and an inner grace will radiate out from you.

#3 - Phoenix - Transmutation

At the edge of the forest rises a mountain. The journey from the top is long and arduous. The path has boulders and landslides that make it difficult to discern what lies ahead. Yet you climb, knowing that something remarkable awaits you. As you finally reach the top, you peer over a boulder, to see a large pyre. An old, tired phoenix comes into view his wings dragging, only to heave himself into the fire. The flames leap higher and higher. As they die down, out of the ashes, arises a renewed phoenix, with bright colors that outshine the sun. He looks directly at you with a fierce intensity, before soaring off the mountaintop. Your life is changing, perhaps in ways you didn’t expect, but it is wildly wonderful. Transmutation is the act of changing from one state of being or one element into another. The phoenix is legendary for his transmutation in fire. In the flames, he is reborn, leaving behind his old and tired self to become a passionate, wild, and free bird. Something that you might have thought would never change is changing into something amazing. It’s not an ending - rather, it is a bright, shiny, new beginning. Situations that seemed lackluster are transmuting into fabulous opportunities. Release expectations and limited thinking, for things are not as they seem. The Spirit of the Phoenix says: A big change is at hand in your life. What feels like an ending is really a beginning. Rising out of the flames and ashes, you are entering a new cycle. Even if life seems murky in areas, this is only the clearing before a rebirth. Hang in there. The best is yet to come.

10/25/2025

As mercury is preshadow at this time and solar activity keeps bombarding us, it’s once again time to focus on something that will help bring us some insight as we traverse on our own journeys. Which card resonates with you?
