Tame your inner fire…from The Mystical Shaman Oracle Deck #19 Fire
Hello dear friends.
I continue to be enticed to the Mystical Shaman Oracle Deck. In these turbulent times I feel the need for the powerful grounding energies and compelling sacred messages.
The Fire card has magnificent imagery, as do they all really, but these flames are mesmerizing, as is the warning offered. “Fire consumes anything it touches. The flames remind us of the impermanent nature of reality, and how situations can quickly transform into beauty or chaos. Warmth and light are heavenly, yet too much heat can scorch us. To fully step into the energy of fire is to be utterly transformed, like the Phoenix rising.”
Having drawn the card reversed “The Medicine” asks – “Are you feeling too fiery? Have you been reactive and short-tempered towards others?” Eh, maybe, yes, possibly! I’ve certainly had a few instances of my old judgementalism programming showing my ugly side. “This card comes to tell us that fiery emotions directed at others can “backfire.” It’s not a good idea to play with fire when we are out of balance or angry. Now is NOT the time to act or react. It is time to tame and befriend our inner fire so it does not scorch us.”
You may be aware that we just had the Aries Full Moon, October 17th, called the Hunter’s Moon. That was some powerful energy as it was also a Super Moon, closest one to earth this year. I was drawn to my Moonology deck to see what insight comes with this celestial event. And what do you know? “Cool Your Emotions. This is a time of heated emotions and frayed tempers. Anger can spur us to do something but you may get better results if you master your emotions. Certainly avoid stirring the pot, or it could well boil over!”
Time to tame and befriend your inner fire so it does not scorch you.
