Oracle Cards for 2024 and for the month of January

We have two cards to contemplate today. Both are from The Sacred Circle Tarot, a Celtic Pagan Journey by Anna Franklin, illustrated by Paul Mason. One is for the entire year that begins today, and the other for January.

Oracle Card for November

For this month’s oracle card, the card literally jumped out of the box and presented itself. According to our author's constructions, the crystal cave is an indicator of TRUST.

Monthly Oracle Card

Our oracle draw for October is not specifically Celtic, but the card we drew of the horses certainly speaks to animal spirits and the belief in animal energy, which was important to the ancient Celtics.

May Oracle Card - Fire Spirit

May Day and the Celtic Fire Festival of Spring Beltane are ancient traditions that celebrate the coming of the Light, new growth and seasonal beginnings. Not only did people joyfully dance around the May Pole, but couples jumped the fire as part of spring mating rituals.

Oracle Card - Crystal Cave

Two dear friends and I have been working with this deck every morning for the last few months and I wanted to share it with you. It’s been wonderfully enlightening and helpful to us as we choose our respective card and then reflect on it for the day - or throughout the day, I should say. The messages are clear and simple, yet profound concepts to walk with through a busy day.

Breathing

Anyone who has ever meditated or taken Yoga knows the importance of the breath, of deepening and slowing our breathing to quiet mind, body, and spirit.

Summer Solstice By Many Names

Summer Solstice is a major Celtic holiday. It is also celebrated throughout Europe by many names. Those of us who take an interest in Celtic tradition know the major images: Stonehenge at sunrise, bonfires the night before, general merriment.

NOTRIPPHOPHIA

I am usually in Ireland the month of May. So you can bet that when I saw a t-shirt on Facebook with the banner NOTRIPPHOBIA (the fear of not having any trips booked), I took a long look. Then I thought about the power of words and how negative statements can attract or reinforce negative outcomes while positive statements lead to positive results.

BRYN CELLI DDU, Anglesey, Wales

Bryn Celli Ddu is an imposing 5000 year old burial-mound, 85 feet in diameter, fully intact and covered with earth. This is one of the most famous megalithic sites in the UK and is held in reverence by druids, witches, and those who revere the Earth Mother.

Moonology

Following the waxing and waning of the moon and knowing how it influences our lives has been coined “moonology”. It is believed that setting an intention at the new moon and releasing all blocks and resistance at the full moon can help create one’s desires and that being in flow with the moon brings ease and joy to our lives. Of course, there is a lot more to moonology, but those are the basics.

Spirit Animals and Fetishes

Shamanic practice in its many forms include animals as spirit guides for a particular journey as well as guides that stay with you for life. Totems or fetishes are the physical representation of that animal that evokes the message of hope, support, and specific strengths a person can rely upon when needed.

Vibration and Frequency

Light, sound and energy all have qualities of vibration and frequency. Modern day technology uses vibration and frequency in ways I can not begin to describe. I merely am the beneficiary of their workings. Likewise, The Ancient Ones understood aspects of vibration and frequency which I can experience in a stone circle, although I cannot explain why. How is such energetic resonance created? How can I experience it in my everyday life? I can I know better how to work with it?
