Sample Reading ~ Feminine Divine

This is a three card simple snapshot type spread that I developed and while it has many names, here is is known as the Feminine Divine

Deck used: Tarot of the Cat People
I shuffle the cards and focus my self for the reading. I cut the deck and pull three card and place them in their positions face up. Cards pulled are:
Self; Soul & Spirit ~ VII The Chariot
Negative Influences ~ 3 of Wands
Positive Influences ~ 7 of Pentacles

My thoughts as I put the cards in their places and look at them all:
Chariot ~ How wonderful, great card, much strength; I wonder about Cancer and   Capricorn energies that are within or around you.
3 of Wands ~ Hmmm….some conflict with a feminine energy
7 of Pentacles ~ again, feelings like that of the Chariot, rewards and securities, a good harvest

I absorb the images of the cards and how they are expressing the position they are in.
This is a wonderful throw! It’s full of good things. I do not see any major ‘drama’ going on in your life. Everything is going along rather smoothly as well as securely. Over all, what ever it is that you are doing ~ mentally, emotionally, physically & spiritually~ is working for you. You are on the right path!
You have two things, be it person or project, that are the main influences in you life. The cards do not tell me who or what, but you would know what these things are and they are what keep you going.
Of course all paths have their bumps and pot-holes, the cards suggest that your bump is some sort of internal conflict, perhaps centered on spirituality. I see a contradiction of sorts. It’s in your thoughts and emotions and this troubles you. You are unsure what to ‘believe’ or where to put your faith. This might be from what you where taught as a child. I feel that there is a maternal-like figure with whom you do not want to disappoint. You admire and respect her deeply and this love and honor you have for her is part of this confusion. Your heart and spirit wants to believe what it feels is right, but in doing so, you will be abandoning the beliefs taught to you as a child, and that could be painful for this female. But you are on the right path, and you have paved it so you can trust in yourself. The direction that you are going is one that shall grand you many rewards. You are a success story, for you take obstacles as a challenge and do not doubt your abilities. It is this attitude that makes overcoming life's difficulties easier for you, more so that it is for most people. In fact it is this quality within that is admired by many. You are always seen by others in a light of triumph.

If It Posts

I have no Internet at home except for my iPhone. It has been a life saver in that I can do most things from my phone with Safari or with an app.
Blogger has been one of those things that I could not do. And the blogger app never worked for me.
So I have updated my phone to the newest OS, and checked the blogger app for an update....we shall see it it works now. If it does then great! I can start doing a better job of blogging!
So with that....HERE WE GO!!!

Little Goat & Big Dragon

An original fable by Suzanne Maxwell~

I had to write a fable for my Children's Literature class and this is what I wrote using two creatures that are near and dear to me.

Little Goat and Big Dragon

    Little goat was finally big enough to go out into the meadow with the other young goats. Momma goat lead him to the edge of the meadow and gave him a kiss. Little goat ran off jumping and kicking out to where all the young goats where playing. As he approached he could hear them chattering away.
    "Up on the mountain lives a big mean dragon." said the tallest goat.
    Momma goat had not told little goat about the dragon so he asked, "Have you seen the dragon?'
    "No, but we can hear him!" said another goat, "Sometimes you can hear him roar."
    "Why does he roar?" asked little goat.
    "He roars right before he eats." said the tall goat.
    Little goat started to feel a little scared and asked, "What does the dragon eat?"
    "He eats everything." replied another goat.
    "You all are silly, there is no dragon!" said another and all the young goats start to argue and butt heads.
    Little goat thought to himself that he will never, ever going to go up the mountain.
    One day little goat was bored with the flat meadow. He wanted more to jump on and bound off of and the big rocks on the mountain looked inviting. All day he played on the mountain having so much fun that he forgot all about the big mean dragon. He forgot until he bounced off of one rock that said, "Umph!"
    Little goat was startled and was quick to jump behind a big boulder and hide. To terrified to move little goat just watched wide eyed as the boulder began to move. In a blink of an eye, standing in front of the little goat was a big, big dragon. The dragon swayed his head and opened his mouth wide and little goat trembled in fear. The dragon yawned with a loud rumble that filled the air. 
    "A-a-are y-you going to eat me?" said little goat. The dragon blinked a few times and looked straight at little goat and began to laugh.
    "Eat you!?... Why would I do that?" asked the dragon.
    "Because you just roared." answered little goat.
    "I did not roar, I was yawning. You jumped on my head and woke me up from my nap." said the dragon.
    "I am sorry. But since you just woke up you must be hungry. You eat everything so are you going to eat me now?" asked little goat.
    "I do not eat everything. I am an Earthen Dragon and I only eat a special kind of rock. And I usually eat before my nap so, no, I am not going to eat you now and I am not going to eat you later." said the dragon with a smile.
    "Really?" asked little goat as his ears perked up and he stood on his tippy toes.
    "Really," said the Dragon with a big kind smile.

The moral of the story is do not believe everything someone says about another.
