		<description>I finally tried out this spread!  I&#039;m sure I will use it again in the future, because I really loved the imagery involved with the walk in the woods metaphor.

		<description>MM Arwen:

The title caught my eye and I thought this would be a wonderful way to see my journey.  I am going to use the shape shifter tarot deck.  

Thank-you for this awesome spread.  I think this will reveal many things for me.  I am wanting to start an Egyptian Mystery Coven/School.  This may give me the insight that I need.

Brightest Blessings,
Aloni</description>

		<description>Whoohooo!  We couldn&#039;t wait!  Ancestral Path Tarot, by Julie Cuccia-Watts... Gryph shuffled and drew (my hands cannot shuffle *sigh*).  We stated while he was shuffling that we want to live in That House with Margaret (the ghost who animates the house--we love her) and our furbabies.

Any insights the TX Self might pick up are welcome. *smiling*

1. Seven of Sacred Circles (Pentacles)--our starting point--the rewards of hard work, the bounty of the harvest... at the beginning of this walk, long before we heard about That House, I said to the Goddess and the Ancestors, &quot;if You wish us to do this work for You, we&#039;re happy to do it; but we need a better place to live.  If You wish us to live as we desire in the greenest way possible, we need a house...&quot;

2. The Magician--our fears--who could this be but the current owner of the house?  We have had to ask him to finance the repairs and carry the mortgage, and our fear (my fear especially) is that he will say no.  He has great power over our future because we want him to carry the mortgage.

3. The Star--our comfort--trust in the universe and oneself; giving without fear of loss.  We clean a little more of the house each time we go.  Yesterday we not only cleaned the mold off the interior doors, I turned the heat up and we will send the owner a check to help with the electric bill--whether he sells us That House or not.  And then yanno... we swept the snow off the front porch and steps, because that&#039;s what the house needed.

The trust comes in when we say the Mantra--&quot;may we prosper in all things, especially financially!&quot;  Each time we say it, we reinforce for ourselves that the universe WILL provide.

4. Ten of Sacred Circles--the unexpected--extended family, kinship, clan; the accumulated wealth of experience offered by the extended family.  The most unexpected was the reaction of Community Housing... they won&#039;t finance us, but they did send their contractor out to take a look at the house and he is asking a mason to come and give us an estimate on rebuilding the brick walls.  He answered every question we had and actually seems quite willing to help us out in a mentoring kind of way.

Also unexpected was the initial help we received from a friend, who lent us money to get the process started with the first inspection.

5. The Hierophant--what we&#039;re learning--a spiritual leader or teacher, ritual, ceremony, insight, self-acceptance... etc... this one is harder to understand, unless it&#039;s about learning the lesson that ritualized manatras do work.  Maybe it means we&#039;re learning to be better at we do through practicing positive-mantra-wise?

6. The Moon--the outcome of this walk--perceiving patterns, creating patterns of meaning in life, weaving destiny.  It does seem to me that we&#039;ve taken our destiny into our own four hands and are refusing to allow &quot;common knowledge&quot; or the limits other perceive to stop us from seeking what we want.

As for you and your Pentacle-heavy reading, lol, we sure thought it was all about the money!  So, darlin, here is our giuft to you: May you prosper in ALL things, especially financially!  So mote it be!!  Aho!!

I repeat that every time I feel afraid or anxious about money, Gryph&#039;s job, our housing, etc... it helps a lot, gets me re-oriented in a positive direction.  Hope it helps you too!
