Page of Pentacles & his Elements

My journey with PoP has been a simple one. As is his nature, so is the understanding of his message. There are qualities of Tarot that need to be considered, especially when taking on a modern, new generation of thought and querents.

One such consideration is PoP's sex.  Is he male, is he female... does it even matter any more?  Is the traits/personality and the meaning of the card what's most important? At this point, considering he is my first on this 78 week journey, I really feel strongly committed to a male energy. I really just want to flat out call him Peter. If I asked him, he would probably say, 'then call me Peter and move on with it already'.

As I move through the Arcana's, I thought it would be fun to assign herb/plants to each card.  I'm sure this has been done, and there is an official chart, but as an Indigo, I love and appreciate that I can create a chart that makes sense to me. I hope this will help and guide me along my journey, as any advice or guidance given will come from a part of me and my spirit guide.  I will consider and use information sought out by the masters before me, but I look forward to finding my own way through the mysteries.

After having searched high and low, I finally found an herb that is both Masculin and of the Earth element.  The Honeysuckle.  According to the The Forgotten Language of Flowers, the Honeysuckle represents spirit vision, devoted and generous love. Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs gives the Honeysuckle the following powers: Money, psychic vision and protection. Need I say more?

With my fascination in crystals, and again I'm sure each card already has an associated crystal linked to it. But again, this is a personal journey and an indigo grid. Peter of Pentacles leads me to Citrine. This energetic stone represents abundance and attracts wealth, prosperity and success.  When PoP is pulled, it is a very positive message letting you know that financial wealth and success is on its way. Young in his age, he represents merely the start of your journey, but it gives you a heads up that you're on the right path. That the new venture you're about to take is a good one and will provide if you stay committed. Take the time to learn and devote your attention and abilities. The journey of the PoP is slow and meticulous with care spent on the details.
   
 **PoP didn't show up in your reading? You can still energize your home with his spirit! Place a Citrine crystal in the wealth corner of your home, the furthest left corner from your front door.**

When Page of Pentacles shows up, allow yourself a sigh of relief. You're on your way, and Spirit is with you. If you really want to excel your progress, do what you dreamed of as a child. There you will find joy and lasting success.

An Ostara Tarot Spread

Ostara, the Spring Equinox

This used to be my most hated time of year:

• School (post secondary) is just about out, which meant I was at the tail end of my student loan money, which meant I needed to look for something asap in an effort to beat out all the other college students
• Spring forward, yah, move the clock ahead and lose an hour... right, not cool
• Spring clothes, gross.  That meant fresh pinks, flowers and pretty little shoes.  Ultimately, no more turtle necks, and bye bye boots

As it were, give me pink, give me lace and give me floral flowy anything!  I retired my turtle necks a few years ago, and have not missed them a bit.  I just finished my last student loan payment, yah me! And, having a child, I've lost sleep so many years ago, it doesn't much matter to me if we gain or lose an hour.  And it goes without saying, I am now a shoe )o(  I love them, strappy, pretty, sparkly and high.  Stilettos and Snow, no go :(

Ostara, my first celebrated Sabbat as I make my journey down this new path.  I don't feel overwhelmed by it, in fact, I welcome the joy of the balance it celebrates.  It feels flirty, sensual, alive and new. I love the balance of light equalling dark and all other balancing forces this turn represents.  As a Leo I am destined by the Sun.  As an #IndigoSpirit, I am guided by the Moon.  I am driven by the power of both, so this transition has an intense meaning for me.

To celebrate, here's a personal spread for Ostara.

Each placement of the cards are balanced, allowing for an internal/external POV, the essential base behind all IndigoSpirit readings.  It also coincides well with the balancing of light and darkness at Ostara. This spread can be a general, seasonal, spread.

Peter Pan - the Page of Pentacles Reverse

A little bit spoiled.  Not really committed to anything accept having fun.  Desperate for a "kiss".  Flying by the seat of his pants.  Excitedly lazy. Sound a bit like a little boy in green tights?

I thought so too!

The Page of Pentacles really seems to me someone toying with life. Not really serious or focused on doing what needs to get done to move forward with anything.  Life, education, career... it's the diabetic that's told his type is reversible with a few simple changes and he puts back a 2L of Coke in response.  Why? "Because I can and you can't tell me what to do!"

Like his counter part right-side-up, he's a tell it like it is little dude, but with no tact.
PoP upright... What are you cooking?  It doesn't smell very good.
PoP Reverse... What the hell are you cooking?  It smells like s?!#@

Follow the link to Pan's picture. It's about Pan Syndrome and it so much sums up my little dude in reverse.  A couple of classics with respect to the PoP/PPS that made me smile:

1. He tends to put things off
2. He believes in magic thought - lol - If I close my eyes, you can't see me
3. Irresponsible
4. Narcissistic
5. Loves a woman to take care of his 'needs'
