6 Swords – Solace
This month I am continuing journeying into the minor arcana cards of the Sacred Circle Deck (available from my book store ), this month it is the Six of Swords – and we continue to look at the sixes. Sixes are about the perfecting of the energy of the suit. They are positive and successful and the peak experience of the suit, the journey isn't over though, but the first phases are complete so it is time to enjoy some of the success experienced so far.
Deck created by Anna Franklin and Published by Llewellyn Deck available to buy from both websites, also from my book store.
I look at the card and see a scene of peacefulness and also of growth – the lush greens seem reminiscent of the growth of spring well and truly underway. The swords are orderly and pointing upwards as if going moving upwards .
I walk into the card...
I feel the sun on my face and feel the warmth of the air around me – it feels like a balmy summer day after the rains have stopped – there is a feeling of watery–ness in the air – slightly humid and the grass beneath my feet is wet and feels cool and refreshing. I walk over to the river bank and see the stillness of the river and it seems very deep too – I decide to have a swim in it. The water feels like the perfect temperature – as I swim through the water I ask of it
"What do you represent? "
"We are the depth of your emotions we are the deep peace that can be found when you allow yourself the time to step away from the turmoil of earthly existence. We are the flow in your life – we flow come what may, and your life can flow in a similar manner too. We also represent the flow of money in your life – prosperity at this point you have money in reserve and you are allowing it to flow also – there is no fear of scarcity and no grabbing for the next amount – all is well you are at peace in yourself and you can feel this reflected externally also. "
"Thank you" I say and get out one side of the bank. I speak to the tree there –
"What do you represent?" I ask –
"I am willow and I seek the water – for it is my nature to be near water – you too are an emotional being and you need to seek out that which hold emotional content for you – in order for you to be at peace your decision my come from your heart. You are strong enough to hear your emotions and allow them to inform you but not to go along with their every whim, as I seek the water to nourish and sustain me I also am not waterlogged by it nor do I have to fall into it in order to receive its nourishment – I take from it what I need to keep me strong and healthy. So too you need the strength of a tree – the flexibility against the wind and the boundaries not to get waterlogged. In this card I am saying that you have all this and you can allow yourself to enjoy the peace you have found through this balance. "
"Thank you – this make a lot of sense to me. " I reply.
I walk along the river back and notice a butterfly fluttering around over the river – as I see it seems to come to me.
"Hello" I say.
"Hello" – she replies "I am the carefree and joyous. I am the being you can change into through transforming yourself and your life. In many ways I am the reward for the hard work of self growth – you have quelled those negative thoughts within you and you have gained the peaceful lightness of your spirit. I touch you lightly with my wings and infuse in you the feeling of joy and fun. Freedom and peacefulness. Well done! I come in this card to say that you have worked hard on yourself and your situation and you have now come to deserve the fresh start again."
"Thank you" I say I like this butterfly and I notice she follows me now as I wander towards the swords.
"Hello," I say – "what do you mean for me?"
"We are the ordered–ness of your thoughts – we are clarity and knowledge – understanding and the truth. We are being honoured and so are straight and we can help you progress to higher spiritual realms in this manner. We may also be helping you achieve a qualification as we give you great intellectual insight. So we can represent a training course or some form of technical logical thought – you have the potential for great skill in this area. "
"Thank you – you feel creative as I see you here with the butterfly and your ordered–ness – it is like you are opposite each other yet you are in harmony"
"Yes indeed we are the order that allows the butterfly her freedom. As you balance there's forces within yourself you too will experience great freedom. "
"Thank you this is most interesting." I say.
"What if you are reversed?" I ask the whole card.
"We are representing someone who has the mental capacity and talent to bring peace into their life but they block this force through fears of failure, not being good enough and through the fear of change. To right this card we suggest that steps are taken to understand the inner messages that you are working through and then as you logically are aware of these you will be able to turn them round. We are also the use of affirmations in appropriate places and our energy can help you bring in new messages about life that serve you more that the old ones you may have grown up with. Reversed too we can indicate that there is an addiction to drama and the feeling of emotion so that you feel waterlogged you may be avoiding your own strength, potential and also finding it hard to put boundaries in place that are needed to bring peace – but these things can be done and when they are then the situation becomes peaceful and harmonious in a way you may not expect. Use logic intellect and learning ability to clear your own life dramas and bring about peace."
"Thank you again for you teaching. I understand. " I say.
I like this card it feels warm and loving but also very direct and I can hear the sun telling me there is a confidence associated with this card – where you feel completely secure in your own self belief. This gives you warmth with others and enables you to learn more effectively than otherwise.
I thank the card as a whole and turn and leave.
Have a go into your cards and see what you discover! I am interested in hearing of your experiences should you wish to email me with them.

Readings onto CD or MP3.
The readings I offer on the phone, internet, in person or by post are detailed and last between 1/2 hour to an hour, also I record them onto CD or MP3 so you can listen to them time and time again – often people find that the things I have said take on new meanings as time passes and that the information that comes through really helps as situations unfold.
Information is gained both from the tarot cards as well as psychically the two forms of guidance merging together to give insight to any situation you are concerned about, or you general future.
Readings can be done by distance onto a CD or MP3 and sent to you in the post, so there's no need to be living in my area, or need to find a time we can both be present.

Stress Management Sessions
Sometimes our lives can become so full with work needs, caring for others, and other commitments, we become increasingly stressed and find it hard to break the stress cycle. We may start to experience symptoms of stress without even being aware of the stresses upon us - or that there are options to help us change things. If you are feeling stressed or stuck in your life in some way and would like to make changes in the year ahead perhaps these sessions will be exactly what you need. I can offer you a number of techniques to help you reduce your current stress levels and also we can look at the root causes of your stress and start to address these to help you make the lifestyle changes you need to bring more balance into your life. Contact me for details or look at my website here
Personal relationship awareness and self development
By request, I am currently developing a course focusing on psychological self development and awareness of relationship patterns of behaviour we get into time and time again, to be run later on in the year. It will be heavily based on the theories of Transactional Analysis, which is a theory that explores the games we play with each other and the internal sub-personalities of Parent, Adult and Child, with a view to becoming more authentic in our lives. If you feel this is something you would be interested in drop me an email to state your interest. I will keep you informed of the dates, length of course and other details as they become available. The course will be held online via a forum as my other courses are. It is not connected with tarot reading specifically, however it will be useful in dealing with clients, whether tarot, healing or other supportive professional roles - particularly where you may find challenges of communication. Also mention may be made where clear connection with the tarot exist.
