Daily Card (Celtic Tree Oracle): Saille - Willow


What an appropriate card for today, the season of Imbolc. On the Celtic Tree calendar, the Willow is the fourth month, February. And, this is the time of Imbolc or Brigantia, Brigit's fire festival. This month is also sacred to the  moon goddess. This tree also offers protection against damp diseases and modern chemists extract salicin from her bark to be used in the treatment of rheumatic fever.

Drawing this card today is telling us that we need to honor the feminine today. Take heed to our feminine side, listen to the lunar cycles, and prepare for the start of spring.

Daily Card (Celtic Tree Oracle): Nuin - Ash


inner and outer worlds linked - Celtic Tree Calendar 5th month of March
This card refers to the Cosmic Ash or the World Tree or in Norse mythology as the Yggdrasil, Odin or Woden's tree who hung from it in order to gain enlightenment  This tree carries the winged fruits and is known to be the key to universal knowledge. Everything is connected and and today is the day to realize this. Everything you do affects the rest of the world in some where. Take care in your actions. Reflect and be sure you are in fact doing the greater good for all that is around you.

Daily Card (Celtic Tree Oracle): Gort - Ivy


The Ivy grows, spreads and flourished in many conditions - cultivated land or wasteland, in light or in near darkness, in fertile soil or on rubble and stones. It will push it's way through tiny cracks and crevices to reach the light and it is strong and difficult to destroy. Since ancient times, the Vine and the Ivy hav been regarded as enemies. If the Vine, through intoxication, releases prophetic powers, the Ivy, in contrast, puts you in touch with your own inner resources, giving you the ability to see through the eyes of th esoul beyond the everyday world.

Drawing this card refers to the spiral of self, the search for self. It is also associated with the labyrinth as it climbs the walls hiding possible differences for use to see. It also symbolized the wandering soul, circling inward and outward seeking nourishment and experiences from the outside and from within itself, to achieve finally it's goal of enlightenment.

Daily Card (Celtic Tree Oracle): Ur - Heather



Again we are looking at Heather and Mistletoe combined together in this one card signifying the links to inner self and all healing. What came to mind immediately this morning when I pulled this card is protecting ourself from the harm of others, whether the harm be intentional or otherwise. Today we are to check ourselves, learn more about ourselves, and learn how to heal ourselves from within. Take a little time today, even if it's only a few moments, and check balances. Make sure you are strong and healthy and if not, start to make the necessary changes to become so. If you find you are already there, use your own story to help others attain this ever so important goal also. 

Bright blessings for a beautiful Wednesday!

Daily Card (Celtic Tree Oracle): Tinne - Holly


Daily Card (Celtic Tree Oracle): Tinne - Holly
Holly is known as the plant that is best in the fight... While during the summer when all is green and alive, it's leaves are soft and pliable, in the winter when it's the only thing left green, it's leave become hard and sharp to protect itself from browsing animals. A male plant symbolizing fatherhood and paternity, this plant has always been considered a potent life symbol ~ both for its long year foliage and it's winter fruits. This would was a popular for the  making of spear shafts.
Drawing this card today tells me that we are given the gift of balance and vigor in the fight. Today you will find extra balance and unity in your spiritual fight for whatever it is you need to do. Be careful though and always remember, harm none.

Daily Card (Celtic Tree Oracle): Ur - Heather


This card actually weals a dual meaning linking to both the Heather and the Mistletoe. Heather shows us the link from the spirit world to the fertile earth, linking us to the spirit world and mistletoe adds in an all healing component. 

The mistletoe and heather combined in this card guides us closer to the spirit world and the resulting healing this path can lead to. Visit the spirit world, for healing at this time, use this time to meditate, contact ancestors, and use their powers to heal what needs healing. 

I will add more very interesting info about this card at some point today, I promise. This definitely one of my favorites.. You'll love the meaning behind it.
