Circe – Cairn by Cairn

Three of Fire
Dark Goddess Tarot

First Impressions: The first impression I get in looking at this card is that the three little beasts are waiting for Circe to fall off the hill. I believe that she is stirring up some kind of medical or magical potion and she needs to wait until it is perfect.

Book: Ideas have a life of their own, Goddess credited with the invention of Magick, Transformation, Lack of jealousy

Guidance: Your creative ability is high, permanence is an illusion as everything changes, mix up things in your life, changing your appearance or your home is not a superficial act.

Journaling:

I needed this reminder that nothing is permanent. I get so caught up in wanting some things to remain the same that I forget how boring that can make life. Life truly is a journey and there is always something new to discover. What I am struggling with is reconciling the fact that nothing is permanent with my need for stability. How can I create a stable life when there truly is impermanence?

I think it comes down to building a financial foundation and a home and then going with the flow. It’s interesting as I groaned when I pulled this card and I wanted to put it back and I did. I then pulled the witch of fire, but my conscious wouldn’t let me cheat so I decided to keep the card that I originally pulled, although I did look at the reading for the Witch of Fire (Cerridwin). Cerridwin has a meaning that is complimentary to this one: Use an established framework or structure to keep your energy focused. What an amazing confirmation.

Wow! It always amazes me how the cards provide the lessons that I need and the confirmation, when necessary. I think the answer is to create a stable structure and create the magic within the structure. For me right now that means working on paying off my credit cards and my bills so that I have more flexibility financially. It also means going back to shopping at Aldi for whatever I can get there so I can cut my grocery budget. Not a big deal as I always went to Aldi when we lived in Chicago, I just got out of the habit.

First Impressions: This card always seems to me as if the three little creatures are waiting for her to come down from the rock. Circe seems to be stirring up some magic in her pot. Overall, this card gives off a vibe of waiting.

Book: Ideas have a life of their own, Knowing lore of all places, Friend of the witches, creative ability is high.

Guidance: Make the most of your creativity, express it, embrace change, mix up things in your life, change up your house

Journaling

Interesting that I pulled this card as I am embracing change and changing my personal space. I’m also cleaning out and getting rid of things that no longer serve me. This is a time of transformation and I feel the energy of change flowing.

Despite all the nastiness in the government, I feel good changes are afoot and it is time to embrace my creative side.

I love the thought that ideas have a life of their own and that we can manifest ourselves.

One of the things I’ve realized with this round of cleansing and getting rid of is that I don’t have to purge everything at once. I can take my time and genuinely evaluate what serves me before I just get rid of it all. I’ve decided I’m going to take the next year to work through the books on my bookshelf in the wood room and I’m going to either keep them permanently, keep them as I haven’t read them yet, or get rid of them. I don’t have to make a decision today. In the past, I always thought that if I made a decision, I had to implement it right away, but I’ve realized that’s not true. I can take time to evaluate and gently get rid of things instead of rushing to get rid of them. Doing things this way brings me peace instead of frustration
