On the 7th Day of December, Tarot gave to me: The 7 of Swords from the Pagan Cats Tarot! Usually we don't like to see this card on the table. However, at this time of year many of us are spending time working on surprises for friends and loved ones. This card promises us a little boost in our stealthy actions as we play elf! Consider enlisting some helper elves if needed.   PS I didn't pick this because it was a 7 on the 7th. I've been picking these randomly.  

On the 6th day of December, Tarot gave to me: The 3 of Wands from the Wizards Tarot. According to the deck's designer, Corrine Kenner, the magic power of this card is expectation and hope. Today the Tarot gives us a reminder that often whatever we expect and hope for is what comes to us. Let us hope for the best, from ourselves, others, and the world. Let us expect that we will all rise to the occasion(s)!

Do you remember the first time you heard that line? I do. There had been an enormous line around the theater in San Diego. A friend and I walked to the front of the line and asked if there were any tickets left for the current show. "Only in the front row," we were told. So the first time I saw Star Wars was in the front row of an enormous theater. I had always enjoyed science fiction movies, but I had never seen anything like this. And here was a scene that was pivotal to the plot. The trash can-like robot, R2-D2 (Supposedly named after a request at an editing session during the making of Lucas' earlier film, American Grafitti. Lucas heard editor Walter Murch ask for "R2D2," short

On the 5th day of December, Tarot gave to me: The Elder of Fire from the Gaian Tarot. (Pssst...it's on sale right now) This could be very useful energy for a Monday in December. Intense power and the deep understanding that allows one to use it wisely. Also, this magical lady knows how to draw on and channel energy when needed. We can learn to do the same, even if we do so through a delicious cup of coffee.
