Cozy Setup And Intentions

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hi friend. My one of my little doggies, Millie, is sleeping near me, so you might hear her snoring through this. She snores quite a bit. Tonight, I think I'm recording this, you'll get it Monday. So I thought it might be fun to start the week with a little Oracle card reading. So if you're not familiar with Oracle cards, they're sort of in the same family as tarot cards. But I don't, you know, I don't use them to like tell the future or do anything mystical. The way I do them is I draw a card and um well, sort of I just kind of reset, I ask myself a question, I draw a card, and then I just kind of interpret its meaning and apply it to my own life and sort of answering that question. So I thought it might be nice for us to do one together for um for the question, what do I need to focus on or what can I focus on for the week ahead? Um and actually, since I'm using, I'm gonna use an Animal Allies deck, it was illustrated and written by Jessica Swift, who is an artist here in Portland. Um it's a really beautiful deck of cards. Um, but uh so maybe the question is, you know, kind of what animal um kind of do you want to uh live as this week or like draw the spirit of, um, which is also sort of like what do you want to keep in mind and how do you want to show up this week? So I am going to kind of shuffle and then I'm gonna draw one. Let's see, this one's feeling pretty good. Ooh, owl. So in her book of kind of um helping us understand the owl card, I'll read you what she says. The symbol of night, owl's powerful ability is to see into the darkness to find what's hidden and untrue in yourself and in others. Owl can help you pierce your illusion illusions, self-made or otherwise, to see the reality beyond and to examine your shadow, shadow side or hidden darkness. Owl is also a symbol of change, of the unknown, of mystery and magic. Call on owl to guide you in the discovery of hidden abilities and untapped potential within yourself. Oh, that sounds like a really good one for the week ahead. You might also want to think about uh in terms of owl, uh, how does it behave in its natural surroundings? Where does it live? What does it eat? What time of day or year is it most active? What is its fur or hide or feathers like? How can these qualities inform your own life? So I encourage you to just explore the owl and what it means for you and what you might want to draw upon in the week ahead. What might you want to focus on? How might you want to show up? What you might want to explore. I'm actually going to read it to you one more time. Um, and now that you sort of know what we're using this for, really try to parse out something from the description that I read for you to sort of focus on in the week ahead. Here we go. Owl, the symbol of night. Owl's powerful ability is to see into the darkness, to find what's hidden and untrue in yourself and in others. Owl can help you pierce your illusions, self-made or otherwise, to see the reality beyond and to examine your shadow, shadow side, or hidden darkness. Owl is also a symbol of change, of the unknown, of mystery and magic. Call on Owl to guide you in the discovery of hidden abilities and untapped potential within yourself. That's a great note to end this podcast episode on. I would love to hear your experience with this and have a great week. Love you, friend.
