This week I did something I had never done before. I asked my cards what this week’s blog should be about. I used my new deck, Angel Wisdom Tarot Cards. The answer was Ace of Fire. Here’s the card:
I love my new deck and I think the artwork by Dan Craig is as beautiful a collection of work as I have ever collaborated on. And I do very much like all of our Aces in Angel Wisdom. Still I resisted when I pulled this card. Not because I don’t like the message. It’s a great message full of hope and optimism. I resisted because it felt like a continuation of the messages from the last two week’s worth of blogs.
So… I pulled out another deck and asked the same question. Guess what happened? (You know what happened, don’t you?)
Yes, it’s true I got the same card. After all these years of working with the angels and experiencing the true power of synchronicities, you don’t have to tell me a third time.
This is a powerful time of rethinking for me personally. I am doing a lot of reevaluating about the way that I work and also about trying to find balance that includes taking better care of myself. My friend and colleague, Dougall Fraser, has been (very lovingly) on my case about this for months. And he is right. I need a new, balanced way of experiencing my work and my life. At first, I took to this task as just that… like a task. But as I have brainstormed with myself and my angels, I have started to get excited about the possibilities.
Our magical little ginger Ace of Fire appears young to represent the newness of the situation. This little guy is planting trees and flowers that will grow and develop. He has a touch of magic in his wand and the devoted friendship of his dragon. The crescent moon above his head is just heading out of the new moon phase indicating that opportunities will grow as we head to the next full moon. But keep in mind that his youthfulness is a metaphor. We as children of the Divine circle through the Ace of Fire energy regularly through our lives. I have had to remake myself many, many times. The time has come for me to take wand in hand and plant a new (metaphorical) tree!
Towards that end, I am going to take a little time off to reflect. And as I do so, I am going to be remembering that this is not a task. It is a magical opportunity and it is up to me to make the most of it.
What about you? Is it time for you to re-experience your inner Ace of Fire?
Angel blessings,

Why Can’t I Follow My Own Advice?
I keep a lot of notes. My friends say my life is ridiculously busy. That I need to slow down. I need to rest. And I don’t disagree with them, but honestly it’s all I’ve ever known. And so, if I don’t write things down then I drop balls, forget important dates, and all...
What the “In-Between” Taught Me About Happiness
The last year and a half of my life has been perhaps the most self-revelatory of my entire life. I do not recall a moment in my past where I have been as dedicated or as intrigued to understand who I truly am. In some ways, that really saddens me. It seems such a...
I Cleaned Out a Closet and Found a Version of Myself I’d Forgotten
You do not want to know how many times I have moved in my life. No seriously. You wouldn’t believe me if I told you. While I know most people do not like change, I seem to love it. I tease people that as a quintuple Sagittarius, I eat change sprinkled on my Wheaties...
2025 Has Flipped Me. And I’m Grateful.
“Fascinating.” Yes, that’s “fascinating” with a period after it not an exclamation point. I grew up watching shows like Star Trek so to me… the word “fascinating” is supposed to be said curiously with one eyebrow raised like Mr. Spock. This whole year for me has been...
The Sprinter’s Spiritual Lesson
Looking back, I cannot recall a time where my life has been so much about learning about myself. Why don’t we do this when we’re young? It would save us so much time and trouble! We could make such better choices if we were just taught to “know thyself.” One of the...
Thank you for your hard work, I appreciate all of your help with your ANGELS and the card’s, they’re very on que with my Angel guides and my spirit ANGELS and my animal spirit helpers.
