Using Tarot Cards for Magickal Intentions

Tarot Cards, Not Just For Reading...

Using Tarot Cards for Magickal Intentions

Did you know that the Tarot can be used for much, much more than “Predictive” Reading?

Tarot can be used for self-exploration, past life analysis, psychological profiling, situational analysis, and for Magickal Intentions, (spellwork, ritual and prayer), among other things.

Every card in the deck of 78 has many complex meanings and energies and you can actually create your own, customized rituals (spells, prayers), using the Tarot in a very definitive way.

For instance, let’s say that you have had an argument with your Cancer Man and you are an Aquarius Woman and you want to restore peace between the two of you.

Select the cards from the deck that are your “natural” significators, in this case you would select the King of Cups for your man, and the Queen of Swords for yourself. Now, the Queen of Swords is a hard-headed woman and the King of Cups is a loving and compassionate man, so it is not unusual for the two of you to butt heads on occasion.

To restore peace, get a pink candle and write both your names on it and dress it with extra virgin olive oil. Place the 2 cards that you have chosen to represent you and place them on a table with the candle. Pull the Lovers card out of the deck and place it so that it covers both your card and his and light the pink candle. Put together your own words to bring peace back between you and restore the love you feel for each other. You can also use the Ten of Cups, or if you feel you need to have a meeting of the minds to discuss further, use the Two of Cups, to promote face to face conversation. It is very customizable.

When you put your words together, keep them rhythmic, rhyming during ritual is essential for building the energy, it doesn’t have to be complicated, just short and sweet and to the point. Something like this will suffice: “Let us have our peace restored, we can remember all our joy”.

Make it specific to your issue, the more “customized” the better.

Strange Dreams

Brigid Bishop — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 08:45:00 GMT

Strange Dreams

Ever have a strange dream?

Sure you have, we all have.

Well, last night was my turn.

I dreamt that I was at my grandfather’s house. Now, my grandfather has been gone for 25 years, but he was the one person that I was closest to in this world, and his home was my “Safe Haven” when I was a child.

In the dream, I owned my grandfather’s house, but the neighbors that I have here, (who are very negative), were also my neighbors there and I was putting up a privacy fence between our properties. The part of the dream that disturbed me the most was I tried to tell the neighbor woman that I was sorry for the negative energy between us (even though she is the one creating it), and of course all I got was a dirty look as she walked away. That part of the dream was much like real life.

So, I pulled out my handy-dandy dream interpretation books and looked up the significance of having the fence in my dream and was quite surprised to find that although the fence symbolizes a need for privacy (so true with these neighbors), that the fact that the dream consisted of constructing said fence meant a solid foundation for a secure future due to an industrious nature. Hmmmm….good feeling in these tough economic times.

In another segment of the dream, I was giving myself a pedicure, kind of weird, but that’s what I was dreaming and of course I looked it up and it meant that I would have an extension of my understanding of my life path.

I think the significance of my grandfather’s home in the dream was also one of added security due to my current worries.

I have to start updating my Dream Journal and I think that I will just do it here on my Keen Blog to share with you.

Feel free to add your own dreams if they are similar to any of those I write about and we can discuss them together.

Bright Blessings!

A Very Profound Question

Brigid Bishop — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 06:59:00 GMT

I was watching the Presidential Debate the other night and although I refrain from writing any blogs concerning my own political views and opinions, I did find a very, very interesting question during the debate worthy of mention here.

It was a question received via email posed to both candidates, but it is a question that I think would serve all of us very well to reflect upon in our daily meditations. I apologize to the woman who submitted the question to the candidates, as I did not retain her name when it was mentioned, however I hope she doesn't mind that I refer to her here.*

The question is:

"What don't you know, and how will you learn it?"

Wow! Talk about "PROFOUND"!

Think about it, won't you?

I have been reading my cards and contemplating this question for days, if you like, I can work with you on this self-exploration exercise as well.

The One: The Myth Exposed

Brigid Bishop — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 06:21:00 GMT

The ONE: The Myth Exposed

The ONE.

"Are We Meant To Be Together?"

This question, more than any other question that is asked of me makes me very tense. It bothers me because I do not subscribe to the idea or fantasy that there exists out there “The One”.

In my personal belief system, I just cannot buy into this particular myth.

Some people believe that a “Soul Mate” is “The One”, ugh, it rattles my cage when I hear of or read about people encouraging this fantasy in others.

This mindset leads people to pursuing relationships that won’t work and to holding on to relationships that don’t work, and frequently gets them obsessed with an ex.

There is no such thing as “The One”. The Universe is not so cruel as to, in the 6,709,999,582 people who are on the earth, (as of 7/1/08), to only have ONE of these people be an appropriate loving and caring partner for YOU.

Statistically, if you were born on 7/1/08, that would give you a 0.0000000149031305856198000% Chance of finding someone to love!

Do you really believe that the odds are stacked that overwhelmingly against us here on Earth?

I don’t.

I believe that we have dozens, perhaps hundreds or thousands, of mortal counterparts that we can build a happy existence with. Fate plays a hand to some degree, yes, fate being the geographic location of your existence, the personality you were born with, (whether you are an introvert or extrovert), the genetics that compose your outward appearance, how your parents raised you and thus how you are wired emotionally and psychologically and more, but I vehemently disregard that fate controls “who we are meant to be with”.

We CHOOSE who we are with (or not with and pining away after).

So when a client says to me, distraught over a crisis in their current love affair, "Are we meant to be together?" I have no choice but to say, “I cannot in good conscience answer that question as there is no such thing as “The ONE””. This is frequently met with dead silence.

Yes, there may be a soul connection to this individual you love so much, yes, they may even be your “Soul Mate”, (Click HERE to gain understanding of what a Soul Mate actually is), but they are NOT the only “ONE” and it is not “Meant To BE” you must choose to MAKE IT BE! And to top that off, they must also decide, hopefully concurrently, that they want you to be THEIR ONE.

So you’re relationship is in crisis, you don’t know if it is over, you are looking for relief, the easiest question to ask is “Are we meant to be together?”, it will provide you with instant validation and relief if an advisor tells you “yes, you are”, and drive you perhaps to despair if an advisor answers “No, you are not.”

Better questions to ask are “What can I do (if anything) to improve the situation”, or “What are the core issues and root causes of our relationship issues”, or “What do I need to work on internally to better cope with this crisis”.

These are questions that can be answered with true advice that can help you to better choose as to whether or not this individual truly is right for you and deserves to be in the “ONE” position in your life, rather than just trying to validate that your suffering will be worth it in the long run.

So if you do call me, and you do ask me, “Are we meant to be together, is he/she the one?” I will tell you, again, I cannot in good conscience answer that question as I do not believe that there is any such thing as “The One”.

Do the Math!!!!

Brightest Blessings,

The Impossible Dreamer, Installment One

Brigid Bishop — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 05:26:00 GMT

To Dream The Impossible Dream!

Are you alone?

Are you interested in a guy that somehow remains “elusive” to your relationship goals and expectations?

Do you find yourself wondering if he has viewed your webpage on myspace or facebook or any of the other social networking sites to see your new pics, or if he got your text or email, or if he is going to respond?

Are you wondering why he hasn’t called you in over a week?

Do you dissect and analyze every word and inference in each and every one of his communications with you?

Are you trying to learn his dialect (manspeak), so that you can reassure yourself that somehow, some way he is going to be with you “someday”.

If so, you are what I have coined as an “Impossible Dreamer”. I have an entire chapter in my newest book devoted to you dear, sweet women of the world.

You may or may not have some type of a relationship with the man in question, however, if none exists, you are surely constructing the bits and pieces of your interactions into one in your own mind.

The symptoms of this condition usually center around a man who is afflicted with the following characteristics of unavailability either alone or in combination with several others listed here:

He is married.

He is involved with another woman, i.e., girlfriend or live-in significant other.

He lives very, VERY far away from you, either on the other side of the country or the other side of the world.

He is emotionally unavailable.

He has already told you he is not interested in a romance but he wants to “be friends”.

Although he continuously shows you he has no interest in romance with you, he continues flirtatious contact with you just the same, even to the point of mentioning his other women.

Your only contact is on the internet, you are having a “cyber” relationship.

If you are focused on any men with the above afflictions, you are very likely to be an “Impossible Dreamer”.

The Married Man

The married man may or may not be sleeping with you but whether or not you are actively involved, if he is still married, i.e. “A Married Man”, you are at high risk for being an “Impossible Dreamer”, most especially if you, yourself are also married or involved.

Let’s say that you are single and involved with a Mr. Married. Yes, there are instances as described in many of my previous blogs where these situations do wind up with Mr. Married becoming Mr. Divorced and subsequently you may become Mrs. Divorced, in due time, but more often than not, Mr. Married remains Mr. Married, and you remain Ms. Otherwoman.

How can you tell if your Mr. Married will become Mr. Divorced, and even more important, will Mr. Divorced be with you after said divorce?

It’s very difficult, to say the least, but these key indicators will tell you if Mr. Married has any inclination to skip down the Divorce Trail and be with you.

Signs that he really is looking to jump relationships:

He spends each and every free minute that he can possible steal away from married life with you.

He no longer celebrates anniversaries with his wife, he is with you on those days, not her, she is left to her own devices.

He no longer spends holidays entirely with his wife and family, even on the biggies like Christmas or New Years he finds a way to spend some time with you.

He never lets a special occasion for you go by unmarked, i.e., your birthday, the day you two started dating, etc. He is there for you.

He TELLS you he loves you and he SHOWS you by being attentive.

You receive daily phone calls or emails.

Whenever you call, text or email him, you receive a response within 24 hours at the MOST, even on weekends and holidays.

He TELLS you WHEN he is going to leave his marriage, and when the date comes, he DOES it.

If, on the other hand, you are an Impossible Dreamer, you are likely to be experiencing the following circumstances on a regular basis:

Weeks go by, perhaps even months, without any significant personal contact between the two of you.

Text messages, emails and voicemails seem to be left in limbo as you rarely, if ever, receive a reply.

You spend your birthday, vacations, major holidays and weekends alone.

He is still spending anniversaries, vacations, holidays and weekends with his wife and family.

When you do, on rare occasions, spend time together, it is for a few hours maximum and the time is likely to be spent having heated sex and little else.

He either never mentions divorce at all to you, or, if he does, there are no definitive dates given and no visible actions taken, he will perhaps tell you that the timing is not right.

There are several hardcore facts that a woman in this situation needs to realize and accept and then decide as to whether or not this situation is the right one for her.

If your married love interests’ behaviors place you in the category of an “Impossible Dreamer” you are likely to remain in a permanent state of anticipation and anxiety over your relationship as the situation is highly unlikely to change.

Why are you putting your life on hold when there are so many unattached and physically and emotional available men on the planet?

Even if you feel that this is the “Soul Mate” relationship of a lifetime, if you are an “Impossible Dreamer” you are going to end up lonely if you don’t make changes and begin the process of finding an available partner now, not next month, next year, or next millennium, but now.

If you absolutely cannot let go, at least DATE OTHER AVAILABLE MEN and make him the “Other Man” in your life until you can muster the courage to walk away.

Many “Impossible Dreamers” believe that the unavailable man will walk away if they start pursuing other interests. The cold hard facts are, that if the man has any inclination whatsoever to leave his primary relationship for you, pursuing other romantic interests will speed up his journey into your life, not destroy it. Why should you spend another Saturday night home alone when he is out to dinner and a movie with his wife? Take the risk. In the long run you will be happier.

Quote for The Day

Brigid Bishop — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 00:54:00 GMT

Every so often a quote comes up in my mind and I feel the need to share it.

Today, of course, is one of those days.

We all meet difficult people in our bumping around in this Universe of ours, and sometimes, unfortunately, they do mean us harm.

In reflecting upon some of these negative entities today I remembered this quote, which I used to have framed in my office during my many years as an Operations Manager.

"The Brighter Your Light...

The More Darkness You Attract"

Making the Moon Work for You

Brigid Bishop — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:59:00 GMT

Making the Moon Work for You

by Brigid Bishop

The Moon, as it orbits our earth, moves through the zodiac much more quickly than any other significant celestial body.

The Moon is one of the most potent astrological forces that we experience, and as it cycles through the signs on a regular schedule of approximately 2.5 days, we can use its’ energy to enhance our daily lives in many matters, including, but not limited to:

Signing contracts, beginning projects, attending job interviews, applying for loans, changing residence, approaching authority figures, travelling, shopping, and putting an end to something, convincing others to come around to your way of thinking.

How do we do this?

It’s rather simple.

Look at your sun sign and watch the movements of The Moon for when it will next be residing in the same sign as your sun. When The Moon is in your sign, you can expect things to work out to your favor regardless of how difficult you may find the situation to be.

When The Moon is in your sun sign, these are your “best” days of the month, and these are the days when things will go more strongly in your favor than at any other time during the month.

At the opposite end of the scale, we have you “worst” or “lowest” days each month as well.

These occur during the 2.5 days that The Moon visits your polar opposite sign. For example, when you are an Aquarius, your lowest days of the month occur when The Moon is in Leo, if you are a Pisces, your lows are when The Moon is in Virgo, and so on around the astrological wheel.

When you are in the 2.5 day phase of your low, just kick back and don’t try to change things, wait for better timing, as you will find it most difficult to get your way during this phase.

The low points are good times of the month to meditate, be spiritual, be more kind to others and let negativity roll off your back like the proverbial duck. Try to avoid dealing with important business matters during these times if it is at all possible.

Every 2.5 days The Moon goes “Void of Course” as well. The length of the Void of Course Moon varies greatly, sometimes, it can be a fleeting few seconds, at others, it can last a few days. A lunar phase calendar can help you to track The Moon.

A Void of Course Moon occurs when the last major aspect happens prior to changing to the next sign, hence, its’ frequency being an approximate 2.5 days. The Void ends when The Moon successfully enters the next sign.

These periods are best used for “quiet times” for everyone. Things tend to go wrong or get confused during the void, stress levels rise, patience wanes and everyone is just a little bit more difficult to talk to. It is not an exceedingly strong influence, but it has its’ moments. It is best to avoid taking assertive actions during these voids, simply wait for them to pass.

When Bad Times Bring You Down

Brigid Bishop — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 23:17:00 GMT

When Bad Times Bring You Down

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, goes through bad times. No one escapes the inevitable and leads a charmed life, no matter how it may look from the outside, we all suffer some type of negativity at some point in our lives, usually in cycles. (It's life, no one gets out alive).

When we are riding high and things are going well, we may begin to take things for granted and tend to forget the difficult times, this is usually when minor irritations get blown out of proportion and we forget just how good our lives are.

Then the event horizon arrives and the world as we know it is thrown upside down. We worry, we wish we could turn back the clock to before the event occurred and stop ourselves from partaking in actions that led to this disaster and suddenly, those little minor irritations become the threads that hold our lives together, we wish that our biggest worries were around those insignificant irritants, but it is too late, we have a problem to deal with, a real problem.

We may or may not have directly contributed to the negative event, but nine times out of ten, our actions had something to do with its arrival.

The Universe may be bringing us down off of our high horse to take a good look at everything that we have recently been taking for granted and start counting our blessings.

If you are in a negative cycle, pause, reflect. Just how negative is it? Do you have your health? Are your loved ones safe? Are you getting by economically? What do you need to do in order to get back up on that horse (and ride it with a little humility this time).

Figure out what needs to be done and stop beating yourself up for anything you may have done to bring yourself to this negative space. Put your energy into bringing the positive back into your life, it may be a long hard road, but you can do it.

Stop the behavior that led you here. If you need assistance stopping that behavior reach out for it. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from your friends and family, the worst thing that they can do is say no, or ignore your request, but summon the strength to ask. You may be surprised to find that the people you think will help you will be apathetic and those who you think would not help you will jump to your aide. It is not a sign of weakness to ask for help, it is a sign of strength. To be able to swallow your pride and reach out is a very humbling experience, but it will build your character and it will also help you to be more appreciative of the blessings of the Universe when they cycle back your way again.

It is easy to slip into melancholy and even depression when things go wrong, whether we bring them upon ourselves or if they are brought upon us by an outside force, the art of living well is the ability to face the wave and subsequently ride it!

What destroys one person may well make another person stronger and better in the long run, even though on the outside it appears to be the same experience, the difference is being able to accept responsibility for our futures by using the present to regroup, rethink and relearn our priorities.

Schedule/Rate Change Notice for My Clients

Brigid Bishop — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:58:00 GMT

Due to the fact that Amazon.com is now going to be taking over the sale and distribution of my book "Uncloaking the Tarot", I am going to need to reduce the number of hours I am on the status of "Call Now" on Keen right now. My overall hours of availability will still be at approximately 60+ per week, but I will be using the Arrange a Call and Alert Features more frequently.

I will more frequently be set to "Alert Me of Calls" rather than "Call Now" as I am revising the book prior to it's Amazon debut, which is fast approaching the deadline.

I will be available to take your callbacks seven days a week, intermittently, from 11 a.m. until 1 a.m. EST, from Monday through Thursday. Callback times should not be an extensive wait period. On the weekends, callback acceptance will occur, but will be sporadic as my family schedule permits. My rate will be as follows, effective immediately.

Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. EST $3.99 per minute and all hours outside of that time frame will be at $4.99 per minute. To ensure the best rate, please try to schedule your calls during my reduced rate periods. Thank you.

As I work through the revisions, I may not be able to readily pick up your call while I "finish a thought", so I ask that you please be patient and use the Callback feature, I will take your callback as soon as I can and I will try to limit the wait times.

I have also accepted a proposal for my second and third books, which are in raw form and will be released at the end of this year, so I may be taking advantage of the "Alerts" feature for quite some time.

I will be available, but I need to focus on you when you call me, so please be patient with me during this time.

Thank you for understanding!

Here Come Those Tears Again

Brigid Bishop — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 21:25:00 GMT

Music Therapy Lesson

I have always been one to take solace in lyrics, that is probably why I enjoy writing poetry so much. I have been a poet since the age of seven, with many poems published over the years, but, unfortunately, I never had any of my poems produced in the form of a song.

Every day, as a Professional Tarot Reader, I speak to clients who are longing for a loved one to return. Along with the tarot reading, if they are interested in listening, I try to encourage them to truly examine their feelings for the person in question to be sure that they, indeed, do want the lover in question to return.

As you may have very well noticed, if you are one of my regular “blog” audience members, I frequently refer to lyrics to express my sentiments and make my points.

So, if you are out there pining for a lost love, please read these lyrics, and if you are like me, the song will play, (and possibly become stuck), in your head.

What I want you to do is to truly “feel” the song.

Is the person you are missing worthy of all of the grief you are feeling?

When you were together were they kind and caring toward you?

When you were together did they make you feel hurt and anxious on a regular basis?

People do change, but they don’t change in significant quantities in a timely manner. True change takes place over extended time and it is intentional and practiced, not just a brief change to get you back for their own purposes with a quick reversal back to old behaviors.

Listen to this song in your head.

Feel the emotions.

When the song is over, how does the very last line make you feel?

I’ll ask that again after your review the lyrics.

Here Come Those Tears Again

(Jackson Browne & Nancy Farnsworth)

Baby here we stand again
Like we've been so many times before
Even though you looked so sure
As I was watching you walking out my door
But you always walk back in like you did today
Acting like you never even went away

Well I don't know if I can
Open up and let you in baby
Here come those tears
Here come those tears again

I can hear you telling me
How you needed to be free
And you had some things to work out alone
Now you're standing here telling me
How you have grown

Here come those tears again
Now you'll tell me how to hold them in
Here come those tears
Here come those tears again

Some other time baby
When I'm strong and feeling fine maybe
When I can look at you without crying
You might look like a friend of mine
But I don't know if I can
Open up enough to let you in
Here come those tears
Here come those tears again
Just walk away
I'm going back inside and turning out those light
And I'll be in the dark but you'll be out of sight

Okay. Now, how do you feel about the person who has been so heavily on your mind for days, weeks or months?

How does this part “And I’ll be in the dark but you’ll be out of sight”, specifically, make you feel?

Does it make you feel sad? Ok, maybe you still love the lost one and perhaps they were kind to you.

Or does it make you feel empowered? If so, you may very well be on your way to healing and moving past this broken dream.

Look at your estranged lover without the mist in your eyes from your tears. Look at the real person behind the heartache you are feeling.

Were you always the one wanting more and getting less?

Were you always anxious or worried that they would ultimately leave?

What about the happy times, were they truly happy?

Think about it.

Is it time for you to turn out the light?

Tapping into the Collective Unconscious is the process by which the Tarot relates the messages it has for you, to you. Carl Jung used the Tarot and Astrology to do just that, he was the father of psychoanalysis and used many non-traditional psychological methods to work with his patients.

To do a Personality Profile, he created a clients' Natal Chart, it gave him great insight. To check out where a client was heading and what changes needed to be made, he threw a Tarot Spread.

I am a "Jungian Tarot Reader", which means that I use his methods to tap into both your subconscious and the Collective Unconscious to get the answers to your questions.

The Tarot grabs your inner situations and makes them conscious, brings them up to your level of awareness.....

"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate"

Carl Jung

Would you rather leave your future up to "fate", or would you rather bring your situation fully into consciousness and learn how to navigate through it?

Using the Tarot, you can work with me to make your "fate" conscious.

What is the Collective Unconscious?

Good Question!

The Collective Unconscious is the gathering of every consciousness that ever was, is, and will be, into one huge energy mass...some refer to this as "God".
