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

12/19/2025

Taking time off for the holidays. Wishing you all a truly Merry Christmas and a peaceful and transformational year!! 🎄 💜

12/14/2025

Taking a self care weekend so no oracle reveal, they will resume in the new year.

12/07/2025

Are you feeling the fatigue, dizziness, nausea, etc? Hopefully, the energies calm down soon. Hold tight and rest and hydrate when needed. Here is your card reveal:

#1 - Starry Night - Acceptance

Through the pine boughs, a thousand thousand stars shine brightly overhead. In the stillness of the night, you can hear the soft songs - each star with its own melody, all notes coming together as one glorious song. You feel your spirit rise as this canticle of the cosmos showers down on you. You know that you have a place on the planet that is unique and remarkable. Allow blessings of the Creator to cascade into your being. You are so very worthy of this grace and so much more. Embrace all parts of yourself. Accept your majesty. There are times when it may be challenging to accept yourself just as you are. Yet when you don’t honor all parts of yourself, you are denying yourself a full experience of life. There are no wrong experiences…each one allows you to grow as a spiritual being. Some people say that they can never accept the dark deeds that have been done on the planet. There is no need to do so - some things are just wrong. However, in order to bring more light into the world, you must first accept yourself in all your permeations. What you deny in yourself runs your life. The more you accept yourself, the more fulfillment and life-force energy you will have.

The Spirit of the Starry Night says: Embrace your inner majesty; accept yourself in all of its configurations. Every moment has profound value, even if it doesn’t seem like it. Forgive yourself and others. Accept all that life has provided and harmony will ensue.

#2 - Water Spirit - Manifesting Dreams

In the sparkly water of the forest stream, otters plunge into the cold waters and resurface to race to the shore and then plunge back into the water. Small ones, big ones - otters of all sizes join in the fray. The brook seems to be laughing with joy with their antics. Your dreams can come true. Truly! However, there are a few steps necessary for this to occur. First believe that you deserve it. Know that you are worthy…YOU ARE! Act as if your dreams had already come true. Move your body like someone whose desires have manifested. Most important, you must also take action in the direction of your dreams. This is not the time to sit around and passively wait for things to turn out. Give deeply and fully of who you are, for the more that you give the more that you will receive. Allow your emotions and feelings to flow. Don’t repress or suppress the truth of your soul. As you focus on gratitude for what you already have, more joy and abundance will grow in your life. Water energy traditionally represents your feelings and emotions. As in all things, too much emotion can be depleting, and too little emotion can be draining. When your emotion flows as clearly as a mountain stream, then you are at a pivotal time to distinctly state your intentions and dreams, and the forces of the Universe will answer and support your dreams coming true.

The Spirit of Water says: Water flows in cycles, and right now you are in a cycle of manifesting your dreams. Don’t stop the flow by doubting or hesitating. Allow your emotions the freedom to be expressed. Timing is everything, and right now is your time.

#3 - Willow Spirit - Flexibility

At the edge of the forest pond grows a large willow. Her branches dip lightly into the waters. As the wind rises, her elegant boughs sway to and fro like a mystic dancer. Her dangling leaves whisper across the water in lazy designs. This card encourages you to be flexible in your life. Be willing to bend, and even to yield. There is power in doing this as a choice rather than as a forfeit of your will. Even though there are times to stand strong, sometimes the greatest value is to go around a situation, rather than face it head-on. By being adaptable you can succeed, whereas someone who is more rigid may not. In rough winds, a strong oak tree may break, while the willow can bend without snapping. Adjust to life, rather than fight it. Surrender to the process. As the willow can weather storms, so you too can weather life challenges. There are many legends regarding the willow tree. It often has associations with gods and goddeses, such as Hecate, Artemis, and Mercury. In ancient Athens, it was a practice of the priests of Asclepius to place willow branches in their temples, in the belief that it would draw mystical healing. The willow was also sacred to poets, for the sound of the wind through the willow was thought to influence poetic expression. In Celtic traditions, the willow has always been known as a tree of dreaming, inspiration, and enchantment.

The Spirit of the Willow says: Be flexible in your life. Be willing to bend, rather than break. Be amenable to change, and you will flourish in wondrous ways.

Which card holds insight for this upcoming week? Mercury is in post shadow which could still affect us, full moon energies are beginning to calm, solar activity still off the charts and each person doing their inner work is reeling with their own ascension symptoms as our bodies are acclimating to our own individual transformations coming up in 2026. Yes, it’s a lot, plus the 12/12 portal is on Friday! Keep grounding, hydrating, resting when necessary and nourishing our bodies with high vibrational food.

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.

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.
