Understanding Tarot – The Overall Basics

Published by Oranum

Written By: Dr. Nikki You may have heard a lot about tarot. Maybe you heard that it was invented by the ancient Egyptians, or that it was developed by the Romany as they moved into northern Europe. In reality, Tarot dates back to 15th Century Italy where it was developed as a card game of entertainment for the nobility as they escaped the plague-ridden cities for summers in their country villas. The deck for the card game, tarrochi, consisted of four suits – Wands, Pentacles, Cups, and Swords (which have fourteen cards each) and another grouping called the Major Arcana (which is composed of twenty-two cards). A full deck of tarot includes a total of 78 cards. The deck has been revamped and some cards renamed by different artisans through the years, but the basic deck of 78 cards remains the same today as it was when first created. Each card in the tarot deck is assigned specific meanings or concepts. For example, the Cups are aligned with the element of water; the element responsible …

How Animals Speak To Us

Published by Oranum

Written By: Dr. Nikki “Sly as a fox,” “stubborn as a mule,” “crazy as a loon,” “meek as a lamb,” “slippery as an eel,” “horse power,” “stronger than an ox,” “meaner than a snake.” Our daily speech is full of references to the messages the animals have for us. Indigenous beliefs from the Aborigines of Australia to the Native Americans of North America and the world over share a tradition of the knowledge of the animals and the lessons they can teach us. Animal omens and messages are a part of our natural world and the animals have much to say to those who will listen. Animals can speak to us in a number of ways. One of the biggest is that they will make a change in their activities. You may have been watching the robins dart for worms in the grass all spring long and then, for no known reason they disappear and you do not see them for a few days. This could indicate a need to pay more attention to family …

How To Do a Spiritual House Cleansing

Published by Oranum

Written By: Psychic AlyciaRose I’ve often been asked about changing the energy in a home, and how to spiritually purify it. The trick to having a spiritually calming environment is to treat the home as a temple, a sacred place. Although this article is not about banishing spirits in a home, purification sets the stage for our environment and what we attract in our life. Peace of mind is everything, and it is the foundation of all we do. While we might not have control over our outside environment, our inside environment is something we do have control over. The first thing to do is to physically clean your home. There is no point in spiritually cleaning your house unless this is done first. If your home is attracting any natural pests, these have to be gotten rid of too. Straighten up any clutter as well. Why spiritually cleanse your home? To increase fruition, abundance, luck and to alleviate discord. This is especially important when moving into a new home. The remaining energy and residue …

Meditation for the Rose Moon

Published by Oranum

Written By: Psychic AlyciaRose June 20th marks the Rose Full Moon of 2016. The full moon in June is also known as the Strawberry or Mead Moon, and falls this year on the cusp of the sign of Cancer, which is ruled by the Moon. The Rose is an ancient symbol of the Goddess. The rose is known as the queen of flowers, is the symbol of beauty of youth, love, joy, silence, and has long been associated with the Mysteries. I wrote the following meditation for a ritual on the Rose Moon for our temple some years ago, and will be included in my book of meditations. May it bring you love, joy and beauty. Each participant should be handed a red rose prior to the mediation.  Pick the best ones, the most lovely of the ones you can find, but not fully opened. Begin by breathing in and out, slowly and purposely, conscious of the air moving within the body. The air begins to turn white with the light of healing energy, moving in through …

Celebrating the Summer Solstice

Published by Oranum

Written By: Psychic AlyciaRose Perhaps one of the oldest celebrated days on Mother Earth, is the Summer Solstice, when the sun is at its zenith in the sky. Celebrations can be found culturally in almost country stretching back into antiquity, its origins focus on agriculture and its cycles. Ancient astronomers used the summer and winter solstices to mark calendars, and a magical time since the sun did something it never did the rest of the year – appearing to not move. The very word solstice is from the Latin word solstitium, meaning ‘sun stands still.’ Stone circles such as Stonehenge were used to record the Sun’s travels, with one of the main events being sunrise on the day of the summer solstice. It is important to note that the Northern Hemisphere, the summer solstice occurs on June 20, 21, or 22, while in the Southern Hemisphere, the solstices are exactly the opposite, where they will celebrate the Winter Solstice at this time. The Summer Solstice this year occurs Monday, June 20, 2016 at 3:34 PM …
