The Lovers

In keeping with the love theme until the 14th of this month, I wanted to introduce The Lovers tarot card. This card is the 6th card in the Major Arcana and usually is packed with lots of mythological symbols. This card represents relationships, choices, a temptation of the heart, a choice of potential partners or raw desire. The planets often associated with this card are Venus (love and pleasure), Jupiter (luck, success and generosity and Mars (physical energy and sex drive). There are lots of decks out there that rely on the symbols for easy card reading but there are lots of 'art decks' too. Here is my version of The Lovers Tarot. This piece is in my upcoming show at Land Gallery here in Portland. If you aren't here in town this Friday February 6th for the opening reception; you can catch and purchase pieces for the month of February and at this link when it goes live. Enjoy!

I Can See Your Aura

You have an aura, I have an aura, and plants and animals have auras too. Some people have the gift to see them. You can do this by being in a relaxed meditative state, shift your eye focus or just naturally see them without effort. You can research which method works best for you and find the different meanings of each color. It's really fun to try. If you can't get the hang of it right away, there is photography. The aura is made energetic layers each with its own frequency. The colors of your aura are ever changing so it depends on your thoughts, feelings, other people, environments, whats happening in your body, your life, etc. There's a company floating around town called Radiant Human and they are taking peoples picture of their auras using a special camera with hand sensors. The way the camera works is; the hand sensor contact points connect with certain organs of the body, as well as measure the electromagnetic field of the person. The hand sensors measure differences in temperature, humidity and static electricity in the environment and the person. A radiant colorful aura field is then captured on a Polaroid. It's really fun if the person taking your picture can give you an accurate reading of the meaning of your colors. I got one done a long time ago in New York City, along with a reading that was pretty accurate. It's so much fun.

What color would your aura be?

Infinite Possibilities

Happy Holidays! Christmas is next week and the New Year is coming shortly after. Because Wednesday's Wisdom will fall on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, I am taking two weeks off to encourage us all (and myself!) to stay off the internet and enjoy human connection on those two special days. For 2015, Wednesday's Wisdom will be changing just a little. I will lessen painting quotes and introduce more knowledge and drawings of various 'divination' items as a sort of 'study and learn' experience. I have learned so much since getting involved in mystical things since I was 16 years old. I thought it was high time to share it all and in my own way. So stay tuned for more art in the form of astrology, tarot, crystals and all otherworldly surprises. For this last Wednesday's Wisdom in 2014, the Moon enters Scorpio. There will be a little more intensity in our interactions and the need to confront issues is strong today. This need can also bring on the 'wanting' for crisis. Sometimes crisis can bring about moments of truth which can feel exciting. Mercury is in a creative aspect to Chiron in Pisces and the Moon is harmonizing with Neptune in Pisces. These planetary positions allow us to discern and know how, when and 'if' things need to be taken that far. We'll have some emotional intelligence today, allowing communications to be more compassionate and open. With this kind of sensitive energy, problem solving will have infinite possibilities.

Keep Going

The moon in Taurus today will fuel the need to feel comfortable and stay in the space of what's familiar. But the planets Uranus and Pluto are forming a square creating a little friction with this. There will be a a clash between feelings of freedom and spontaneity -  and the need for structure and stability. This clash of opposing forces can make you feel like giving up - even if it's just for today. Use Taurus' steadfast energy to find creative solutions to strike a balance in your day. If you experience a setback today, don't worry - it's only temporary.  So with that, today's words are super short and super simple. ❤ Adrienne
