Weekly Tarot Reading - Hanson Roberts - 8th to 14th December

I thought after last week's reading of ALL reversed cards and a lot of feedback from people saying it had been a heavy week that we would be moving onto something lighter and peppier this week. But no. That's not what's happening with the tarot reading for this week. As always I asked this week for messages that will be helpful for anyone who finds this reading on Facebook, Instagram or here on the blog. This week I used the Hanson Roberts Tarot which was my very first Tarot deck! I loved this for my first deck and still love it a lot. It's so 80's and the fairy tale vibe is super cute.

Monday - The Moon Reversed

OK we just had the full moon on Saturday night. Did you go out into your backyard, or open your window and shout out to the moon what you want to let go of?! It's not too late. Tell the moon today what it is you no longer want in your life, and then play your part in letting it go. Delete the ex boyfriend's numbers off your phone, unfriend whoever you need to unfriend on Facebook and don't feel bad about it. Make space for new amazing people and things to enter your life.

Tuesday - Ten of Swords Reversed

What's blocking you from releasing what you need to release? What is stopping you from making that next step forward on your path? What is in your way? Take time today to examine it. Meditate or journal or just ask yourself - 'what is blocking me right now?' Don't freak out about it, just be aware. It's only when we become aware of our blocks that we can really start busting through them.

Wednesday - Five of Cups Reversed

I think maybe we are finally going to start feeling better today. We are getting into a new perspective about stuff, and if we're not, we totally should. Don't keep your outdated ideas and beliefs about certain situations and people. Start to see things as they really are and this should give you some kind of a sense of relief about at least one thing that's going on - finally!

Thursday - Five of Swords Reversed

Today everything is going to be kind of transparent. People are seeing you for who you really are, and you are seeing others for who they are. Who are you really? Who do you want to be? What's causing you to make your decisions? Love or fear? Wow, that's so cliché. But seriously, are you doing stuff to please others, to look cool, to make someone else think you are something you are not? Forget that crap. Show your true self today and do everything you do with a loving heart.

Friday - Justice Reversed

You might feel like others are judging you today, or you might be judging others. Watch your thoughts about other people. Just because you wouldn't wear those leggings doesn't mean it's OK for you to think that anyone who does wear those leggings is ridiculous. But also, don't judge yourself too harshly when you judge others (Ha!). Notice the thought, cancel clear delete it and try to have a different thought next time.

Saturday - Page of Rods Reversed

There's a message that the Universe wants you to hear and you just aren't getting it. Open your eyes and see the signs today. If you have a nagging feeling about something pay attention to it. Stand in the shower and be open to ideas and thoughts that may lead you in a new direction. If all your friends tell you that new guy/gal is a jerk - they might be right. If everyone is telling you to apply for that job, maybe you should. Or maybe the Universe just wants to say Hi, so say Hi back! 

Sunday - Knight of Cups

Oh thank GOD! Finally an upright card! (I swear I do shuffle these cards properly!) But good news on Sunday! A literal Knight in Shining armour might come into your life, it could be an awesome new guy, a new Archangel to work with, a new spirit guide, a new connection with someone cool here or on the other side, an old flame, a new pet, OR and most awesomely, you might step up today and finally realise that you are the Knight you've been waiting for. 

So that's it guys, another crazy week. Just be excellent to each other and be excellent to yourselves. By Sunday it really feels like we are going to all be in a much better place and I can't freaking wait! I hope you all have an amazing week!

<3 Love, light and crazy cat leggings, <3

Weekly Reading - Cosmic Tarot - December 1st to 7th

Cosmic Tarot - Norbert Losche

Hi Guys, Welcome to another week and another weekly reading! I used the Cosmic Tarot deck again this week and pulled all reversed cards! Woah! Sometimes when I pull all reversed cards I think it's a sign to throw them back in and start again, but this week's cards really spoke to me, so here they are!

Monday - Seven of Wands Reversed

Depleted. Today you may find yourself feeling depleted. Wow, depleted on a Monday? Are you serious New Age Hipster?! Yes. So find some ways to get through this day. Enjoy your tea, eat well and get your fluids. Sleep.

Tuesday - The Hermit Reversed

Fighting against knowledge. Huh? OK, don't get caught up in thinking you know everything about anything. Don't be a dick and also don't bother with other people who act like they know everything. None of us knows anything.

Wednesday - Eight of Swords Reversed

Today we are releasing sadness from the past. What is it that you can't stop obsessing over or thinking about? Time to let that go.

Thursday - Three of Swords Reversed

Today we have another releasing day. A great opportunity to release even more crap from your past. Put all your baggage into the metaphorical bin. It stinks, it's heavy, you don't need it. Get rid!

Friday - The Fool Reversed

Accept your faults. Work with them not against them. If you hate the way you look buy a new lipstick or wear a hat. If you hate something about your personality then work on changing it. We are all here to grow and learn and get better. Obsessing over your wonky eye won't help you on this journey, sorry.

Saturday - Seven of Cups Reversed

Make the choice today to move forward. You've thrown away all the garbage, now what? Set an intention to move on with your life and make it a great one.

Sunday - Nine of Wands Reversed

It's all about inner strength today. Not only building yourself back up, but also calling on the help of others, and being the one to bring others back to their own inner strength too!

Well guys, it's going to be a heavy week. Some sludge is going to come to the surface but we can clear it together! Join me on Facebook and Instagram to chat and for these cards in daily version!

<3 Sending you loads of love, light and healing and releasing vibes, <3

Weekly card reading - Guardian Angel Tarot - 24th to 30th November

This week I used the super cute marshmallow cloud deck by Doreen and Radleigh - the Guardian Angel Tarot. You can read my review of it on Silent Voices by clicking here!

Monday - Ace of Abundance

Be open to all that the Universe has to offer today. Mondays seriously suck for most of us, but if we look around some pretty cool things might be going on. Someone might tell you they like your shoes. A friend might buy your Starbucks. You might even win the lottery! Be open to receiving today. 

Tuesday - Healer of Abundance

Get creative! What creative stuff do you like doing? Writing, painting, dancing, journalling? Get creative today. It could even be a fun day to do something creative that you usually wouldn't do!

Wednesday - Ten of Action

Woah there tiger, take a well earned break! Don't forget to ask for help if you need it. Remember from Monday's card - help is all around you, just be open to it! If you are someone who is always listening to everyone else's problems call someone today and tell them yours. 

Thursday - Be Open to Success

Guys, don't ignore your guidance. You know that feeling, the one you've had before about some jerk and ignored and then later you say "I knew I shouldn't have dated that jerk!"? Don't ignore it! Listen to it and follow it!

Friday - Six of Abundance

WOOP! 3 Abundance cards! Yay! Accept all that the Universe is offering you right now. Be thankful. Don't brush off compliments and rewards, you deserve it baby!

Saturday - Eight of Action

A super busy Saturday! Make a to do list and get everything done so you can do something fun later. Or, if you are feeling just way too overwhelmed with life, sleep in and worry about it later.

Sunday - Seven of Emotion

Are you making life decisions based on what other people want? Urgh, that sounds lame. Do what you love, do what calls to you, but make sure you are doing it all for the right reasons. I mean don't take up some random career just to piss off your parents or something right? I love this card's text "Ask Heaven for guidance and then make the choices that celebrates who you truly are."

Don't forget to follow me on Instagram to get your daily version of the weekly reading and Facebook where all the fun happens. OK, I'm trying to make the fun happen there, but I need your help! Ha, look at me asking for help on a Monday! ;-)

Wishing you all a beautiful abundant week!

<3 Love and light! <3

Weekly Card Reading - 17th to 23rd November (Angel Tarot)

Angel Tarot - Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine

This week our reading comes via the Angel Tarotby Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine. There's a lot of debate going on about Tarot versus Angel Tarot or Angel Cards and I'm going to put it out there right now - I don't think there is any difference. Of course there are differences - e.g. Angel cards are 'softer', the art work is different, etc., but I really think the energy and messages all come from the same place. A lot of people have this idea that Angels are some fluffy bunny Christmas decoration type beings, that people who like Angels are 'airy fairy' or too sensitive or whatever. But did you guys know that actually Angels aren't even Angels? OK, that sounds random. What I mean is that Angels are simply light beings that can help us on our path - just like our guides and passed over loved ones. Hundreds of years ago people saw these light beings and mistook their auras and light for wings. So actually, Angels don't even have wings! OMG craziness! It's totally OK if you imagine them with wings though, I mean wings are seriously cool, and an awesome symbol of power and freedom! Enough of the Angel history lecture, let's look at what's happening this week!

Monday - The Magician (Archangel Raziel)

OK, not the first time we've seen this card. You have the wand in your hand today, what are you going to use it for, good or evil? Of course you're going to use it for good. You have the power today, so be careful how you use it. Watch out for your thoughts and your words - catch yourself when you speak negatively about someone or something and try to change it around so you manifest good vibes instead of more negativity.

Tuesday - Four of Earth

This is the Four of Pentacles Angel card version and it's about the need for controlling finances, or even controlling others! Ouch. What are you trying to control right now that you need to let go of? It could be not delegating tasks to others, trying to control a situation or outcome that is totally out of your hands. You don't have to do everything on your own. In fact, you can't do everything on your own. 

Wednesday - Three of Air

Often we spend so much time working on forgiving others we forget to forgive ourselves. Maybe you have had really negative thoughts about others who've done something horrible to you. Forgive yourself for having these thoughts and make an intention to be kinder to yourself. We are human and we have egos and that means occasionally looking at someone on the street and thinking they look terrible. Notice that thought, notice the judgement, make an intention to try not to be so judgemental and then forgive yourself and move forward.

Thursday - Knight of Air

You've been seriously pushing yourself this week, which is awesome, but this might be a good day to take a break. Take a hot bath with some Lush bubbles, send yourself to bed half an hour early, eat carbs and watch some mindless TV. Stop and breathe.

Friday - Queen of Air

This is the Queen of Swords from the traditional tarot. A brilliant woman, but is often seen as cold and not very in-tune with her emotions. Today might be a good day to warm up a little. Give someone a hug. Tell someone how you really feel, look at some cat videos on YouTube. Seek out some warm fuzzies today.

Saturday - Four of Air

Another day of rest! Yay! You are allowed to take the day off. I recently had a conversation with the wonderful Jo Westwood about taking time out. She helped me notice the difference between being 'on' and 'off'. When you are reading self-help books, working on your novel, typing up a blog post, practicing guitar, etc., you are 'on'. Even if you are doing something you love! Take time off today. That means time off from self-help books and creative projects too - this stuff takes a lot of your energy, even though it makes you feel great! Some days you just need to curl up with a novel or have a Greek marathon. Today you are allowed to do that, at least for half the day OK?

Sunday - Five of Air

Wow, we have so much air this week! This card today suggests someone around us might not have totally honest intentions. Listen to your gut today when you meet or speak with others. Stay in your bubble of golden light and don't give more than you can to others. 

Bonus card! 

This card flipped out at the end and I think this is kind of the over-all card for the week. We have The Dreamer (Archangel Metatron). This is the card numbered 0 and I think that's important. This week is the start of something new for all of us. A new leaf is being turned this week, a new way of thinking and being, and it's the beginning of a new amazing journey. I'm so glad that we are all on it together!

Follow me on Instagram, I'm newagehipster333, for the daily version of this reading, and keep in touch over on Facebook, where I'm also newagehipster333.

The Week Ahead - 10th to 16th November

As I was shuffling this week and asking for some messages, I felt like the big thing we needed this week was something empowering. And from looking at the cards we drew from the most amazing Art Nouveau Tarot (one of the coolest 80's decks!!) we are going to need some serious empowering. When I ask for the cards I always ask for a message for anyone who sees it, so if you are here, and you feel like you need some empowering this is so totally for you.

Monday - 5 of Cups

OK I'm sensing this is going to be 'one of those Mondays'. Find a way to get through your Mondays. What's going to cheer you up today? Wear blue eyeshadow and pink lipstick on Mondays (boys or girls who don't do make-up you can wear a pink jumper and some blue shoes). Other commuters need cheering up too.

Tuesday - 4 of Pentacles

What are you holding onto right now that you don't need? Old clothes in your closet? Receipts in your purse? Empty water bottles in your car? A crush on a totally unattainable someone?! Put it in a black bag and get rid of it.

Wednesday - 10 of Swords

OK, you didn't hear me. I said - GET RID OF IT! Today is a perfect day for letting something go. Take out the recycling and let go of the fear of being alone. Whatever it is know that it no longer serves you.

Thursday - the Magician reversed

Guys, remember what you put out into the Universe comes back to you. You aren't going to manifest the dream job if you think you don't deserve it or aren't good enough. YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH to do really cool stuff. Stop thinking you can't do anything.

Friday - the World reversed

It's a good day to retreat from the world a little. Some days you just need to go to bed and read a book instead of saving the world, this might be one of them.

Saturday - Strength reversed

OK, that's enough. Anyone who's still in this slump from Thursday needs to cheer the hell up. You are strong. You are magic. You can do loads of stuff. If you aren't in a slump - awesome, go do some yoga or get some exercise and build your physical strength!

Sunday - The Empress

OK on Sunday anyone who has been feeling a little down or suffering in self esteem this week is going to emerge from their caterpillar cocoons as beautiful butterflies today! Our self esteem stuff seems to be back on track and we're loving ourselves a whole lot more today! Remember this feeling. This is who you really are.

Sending you all so much love and light this week! Find me on Facebook, I'd love to hear about how your week goes, and I'll be posting some self esteem tips too!

Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion

As promised here's my little story about how I re-found my faith in the Universe last week at TK Maxx. So I'm in TK Maxx. I like to shop there sometimes because I figure it's kind of like the clothes version of the Island of Misfit Toys and I totally resonate with that. So anyway, I'm looking around and I see this t-shirt. It's white and a little sparkly so it catches my eye - "Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion" it says. I immediately love it, but it takes me a second before I realise it's actually a line from one of my all time favourite creepy time travel movies - Donnie Darko.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=accEKtBebaU

I'm moving house soon so I've been trying not to spend money on anything I don't truly need, but I tried it on anyway, took a photo of myself in the change room and posted it on social media (because that's what we do these days, crazy huh?). I was shopping on my own and it was like I needed some kind of validation from someone that it was OK if I got this shirt, even though I'm meant to be being frugal right now.

So I do the 'right thing' and I put it back on the hanger. Checking my iPhone in Waterstones while buying a copy of Clockwork Princess (OMG I LOVE THESE BOOKS!!) revealed that people liked it a lot and thought I should get it! That was enough validation for me. I was going to get the shirt because I loved it and maybe I could scrimp on something else this month. I mean I only spent £6 on a book (if you use click and collect at Waterstones you can save £2 on almost everything!!) I just needed to go and look in Lush first...

Suddenly I'm on the bus and I look out the window - Nooooooo! I forgot to go back for my shirt! I get on my phone and start Googling frantically to find it online. NOWHERE had it online. I get home, dump the shopping and run to the laptop, just in case something was up with my phone and I can buy it online on the LAPTOP! NOTHING!

I consider walking back into town. I consider getting up early to go back into town. I get totally sad about the shirt maybe not being there when I do get back into town and I'm like FREAKING OUT about nothing but a t-shirt... but I LOVED that t-shirt! How could I have been so stupid not to have just bloody bought it?

OK, so I finally calm down, I'm visualising light all around the shirt in the store (Yes, I realise this is sounding nuts) and I ask the angels to look after it for me. I ask them if this is my shirt please keep it safe for me.

I'm still kind of freaking out and I have this idea out of nowhere to use my necklace as a pendulum. I pull it off and I ask it for a positive and a negative.

Will my shirt be there tomorrow afternoon? YES.

Suddenly the freaked out energy lifted and I was like - Oh OK. It was like when you dread asking somebody for a favour or something and then you finally do it and they say - yes of course, don't be silly! And I managed to go back to my normal self and forget all about the shirt.

The next afternoon I'm storming through the mall to finally get my shirt! My thoughts are going crazy. I'm like - it's not going to be there. This is stupid. Don't get your hopes up. If it's there it's there. And then I'm like - no damnit, I did EVERYTHING right. I visualised, I dowsed, I talked to angels, this shirt HAS to be there!

So I go in and search the rack where it was. Nothing. Told you so, says the voice. This is stupid.

I search other random racks where I know it's not going to be. Now you are being really stupid. Get over it. It's just a shirt. What's wrong with you?

I search the first rack again. You already searched there. It's not here. Why would you even think it would be here anyway?

I feel totally deflated. Let down by the Universe YET AGAIN. Why does this always happen?! Why do other people manifest houses and millions of dollars and I can't even manifest a T-SHIRT?!

I walk over to the sale section in some kind of last ditch effort. Maybe someone put it there by mistake. It's not going to be there. That shirt was way too cool to be in the sale section.

And then I find it.

I'm looking right at it.

"Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion" it says with a sale tag dangling off the side.

And I'm staring at it. And it's like the Universe is winking at me, or grinning at me through this awesome turn of phrase on this t-shirt. 

*

I've been working on manifesting a couple of really big things. I wrote a YA novel about time travel and I want to do this New Age Hipster gig and get paid for it. I've done the work and the visualisations and I know this is all going to happen one day. I know right now I'm just at that point somewhere between freaking out and finding the sale rack.

Love, light and good manifesting vibes,

Molly Weasley - Queen of Wands

These damn Tarot court cards can be so confusing! What's up with just people just standing there or siting in a chair? How the hell does that help me when it comes up in a reading?! Never fear tarot enthusiasts! Vix from New Age Hipster is here to solve all your tarot card meanings problems - in particular those darn court cards - by doing some simple Tarot/Pop Culture mash-ups!

And today in Pop Culture Tarot - Mrs Weasley as the Queen of Wands!

Everyone loves Molly Weasley. She's the coolest Mum around, and if you don't have a Mum around for whatever reason (Muggle/killed by Voldemort etc.) she'll happily take you in and bake you a bunch of banana muffins. She's warm and sweet and kind, but if you cross her or keep the flying car out too late - WOAH Nellie! - you'll be seeing her flashing around her Elemental fire balls like Wowzah! But then like two seconds later she'll make you a tea.

The Queen of Wands is the Elemental Queen - Elemental as in Fairies. The elementals are fiery, red headed, passionate creatures who live in a world of animals, nature and all that is wholesome. Think fairy houses, tiny doors in century old trees and oh, hey, The Burrow! They don't dig fast paced city life, concrete sky scrapers or fancy Asian fusion restaurants. Give them a pie and a hug and they're as happy as Larry.

Now you might be getting confused at this point - isn't Pentacles the Earth suit? Well, er, yes, technically, but Wands is the Fire suit! It's all about action, adventure, passion and not sitting around on your butt but no matter how comfy your hand knitted throw cushions are, if someone you love is in danger to hell with the muffins! Wands people grab the closest broomstick and beat the bad guy down! Fire spreads through Earth like... well, fire. While the Earth signs are solid, earthy and dependable, these Wands women will bake the best cake at the Hogwarts fair and tomorrow - save you from certain death! And do you know why? Because the Queen of Wands bloody well cares. She cares about nature, animals, family and she cares about those people in the world who are good, and she'll fight for what's right and good while other queens sit on their thrones delegating, making decisions or sending their boys to war. Not this Queen, she's out on the front line, protecting the realm of her Wands people.

Uh, OK, so every time you see the Queen of Wands are you going to read it as Mrs Weasley's coming over for tea? Not exactly, but you are going to have a pretty darn good idea of the archetype and what this card represents. All you need to do when the Queen of Wands pops up in your Tarot spread is think of Molly Weasley.

Queen of Wands/Mrs Weasley cheat sheet:

<3 loyal <3 warm <3 honest <3 family oriented <3 fiery <3 passionate <3 loving <3 loves nature and animals <3 keeps a cosy home <3 adopts children officially or unofficially <3 shouts a lot, but is never mean <3 has a temper! <3 looks like a fairy <3 possible red hair <3 fiery eyes! <3 bakes cookies <3 beats down baddies

So now you're probably thinking about of a bunch of people you know that could be a Queen of Wands type; your Mum, your cool boss at work, yourself, but what about the dreaded 'court card as a situation/outcome' meaning? OK - so you pull the Molly Weasley card when you're thinking about travelling - YES, buy your ticket! You pick the Molly Weasley card when you ask about a relationship - hrm, maybe stop throwing those fireballs huh?! The Molly Weasley card appears when you're asking about work stuff - hello, follow your passion! Doing a spread about your life purpose - easy peasy; the animals and the environment need you, get a job you believe in. Get it?!

Reversed I read her as too fiery or she's lost her passion. Totally unbalanced and unstable. Streaks of meanness may be present in a reversed Queen of Wands, or else she can sometimes be so busy looking after everyone in the end she forgets to look after herself and burns out.

Now you're cooking with gas! You'll never go blank on your Queen of Wands again!

Love, light and trouble-free tarot!

The Week Ahead - 3rd to 9th November

Magical Messages From The Fairies - Doreen Virtue

This week's messages are brought to you by the Fairies! I used the super cute Magical Messages from the Fairies deck by Doreen Virtue. I love this deck, I picked it up moments after Doreen Virtue herself told me I had 'so many fairies around me'. I'd been working with the fairies for a while, but hadn't really seen much response back from them, but I guess they are working with me, and this week they are working with everyone who reads this!

Monday - Good-bye to the old, hello to the new

Get rid of some old stuff today. Clean out your car, or your closet, your mind or your energy. It feels like we are just finishing off these last few months now, ready to begin again in January, but actually, new things are starting NOW if you are open to them! Something in your life wants to be over. Let it go!

Tuesday - Business venture

A great day to brainstorm some business ideas alone, or with a potential business partner! Maybe you need to spend some time today looking online for jobs or courses. And if you are one of the lucky ones who loves their job - yay for you! But what about working towards a promotion or even sharing some of your skills on a volunteer basis? There is always more we can do with our awesome skills!

Wednesday - Your desire is within reach

Today is about connecting to your faith. It's so easy to get mad at the Universe, hello, I've been there recently myself. Today we do whatever we need to do to reconnect to our 'faith', whatever that means to you. It could be having a cry about everything that's going wrong and letting it all out, throwing a pillow, or just moping around for a couple of hours, but after that you need to take a deep breath, remember what you believe and why and tune back into that.

Thursday - Your wish is granted!

Jiminy Cricket! What a great day to start working on manifesting something! You've reconnected with your faith, now sit quietly and put out into the Universe what you really want. Not just some fancy dress or pair of £800 shoes. No,no, no - what do you really want? Do you want a new job? A life partner? A new house? Travel? Start putting it out into the Universe. I don't want to hear any - 'Oh I think I might want to be a writer someday' kind of vague intentions. No, no. 'I ama writer!' is what you will say, and you'll bloody well mean it! (the word writer is totally exchangeable!)

Friday - Summer & Travel

You need to sow the seeds NOW for what you want to see in your life in six or eight months time. You can't sit on the couch watching Netflix all winter and expect to wake up in Summer with a fun new job. Friday is also a fun day to start planning a getaway. Remember when you travel that you it's not just about you having a good time. When we travel we can help others! Whether it's volunteering in South America, or shining your light on a tiny seaside village, your holiday is not just about you!

Saturday - Winter

We're sowing the seeds for what we want to achieve later down the track but we also need to stop and look around at our lives and be thankful for all we have, and all that we have manifested in our lives so far. Think back to how your life was six months ago or a year ago and be thankful for all you've achieved. Sure, a lot of us have gone through hard times, but we can be thankful for those lessons and move on now knowing we have learnt them and won't have to do that again!

Sunday - New Career

Every weekend we are getting career guidance lately, what's up with that? OK this is a serious message for Sunday - Stop finishing work on Friday, going to the pub and then wasting your whole weekend "having fun" and then going back to work on Monday and doing it all again. It's time to break that cycle and find work that is meaningful to you. It's not going to happen overnight, but like they said on Thursday - sow the seeds now! What do you really want to do career wise?! How do you want to make your money? Read some books about industries you would like to work in, watch a documentary about animal rights, teach yourself tarot. Just do something constructive OK? Even if you love your job, what other skills do you wish you had?!

The fairies have well and truly kicked our butts about this week! They're expecting big things from us, and they totally believe we can do it, or else they wouldn't have wasted their time helping me write this right?!

Also, don't forget to recycle this week! I'm not just talking about regular paper and plastic, but all packaging. Packaging is crazy and it makes me sad when I think about how much of it is in the world, so let's minimise it's impact by recycling everything we possibly can this week! Join the conversation on Facebook and click on the Readings tab for more info about how to get your own personal messages from the fairies!

Wishing you all a busy, powerful fairy light filled week!

Love and light!

Angel Prayers Oracle Deck Review

Kyle Gray Angel Prayers Oracle Cards

OK so these just may be my favourite Angel cards of all time people! Yes, I said it. I love Doreen Virtue and all her card decks. I love them so much sometimes I just sit and look at all of them on Wordery or Google images, pining over the ones I don't have already. But I digress - today we are talking about Kyle Gray - Prince of Earth Angels and his brand new deck of 44 cards the Angel Prayers Oracle Cards published by Hay House.

Unboxing

These come in a nice sturdy hard box just like the Hay House Doreen decks. I love this box because it keeps your cards safe and I'm not into the whole silk scarf/keep your cards somewhere sacred thing, although a lot of you probably are and that's fine too! I just throw these around like everywhere I go. In my handbag, on the floor next to my bed, falling out of my suitcase in the car boot, no worries, this tough box will keep them safe! In the box you'll find your 44 cards plus a nice quality little guide book which features more info on each card as well as some spreads and ideas on how to clear and use your deck.

Shuffleability

Shuffling these cards is kind of hard if you have small hands, but it bigger cards make for bigger pictures! Watch the video below for some different ways to shuffle these cards. I find shuffling them pretty easy - after gently peeling some of them apart when you first get them they are totally smooth shuffling.

Artwork

WOW, all I can say is wow I love the artwork on these cards. It's fresh, modern and totally resonates with me as some kind of new age hipster type person. As much as I love the 'traditional' angel cards, seeing your angels looking hot and with purple or turquoise hair and looking like they just came out of some bar in East London certainly appeals to me! The images are bold and beautiful but at the same time simplistic enough to get the messages across quickly and easily. Each card also features an Angel Prayer and I love these. It gives you a focus, especially on those days when you are like - OK, trust my vibes, but how?! Just say the prayer on the card! Sometimes I like to say it 3 times. ;-)

Trust your vibes The inner voice Kyle Gray Angel Prayers Oracle Cards

Usability

These cards areso easy to use. Even if you've never had a deck of angel or tarot cards before, you can pick this pack up and start reading for yourself pretty easily. I would totally recommend the Angel Prayers Oracle as a first angel oracle card deck. Having said that I have like a gazillion other decks and I still love this one! Here's some ideas of how you can use this deck -

<3 pull a card in the morning before school/work/whatever - I say something like 'Angels do you have any messages for me today? Thank you!'

<3 pull a card at night before bed by asking the angels for any messages

<3 asking a question and pulling one card - e.g. what do I need to know about (insert issue here!)?

<3 find out about your life purpose

<3 three card reading - past, present, potential future or just three cards to answer a question about an issue you are having

<3 the awesome 9 card spread in the guide book!

<3 meditate on a card of your own choice, or one you pull at random

<3 when you find a card you totally resonate with for whatever reason stand it up on your bedside table to keep that energy around you while you sleep

<3 manifest! Find a card that resonates with what you want to manifest (hello Archangel Orion!) and leave it out where you can see it all the time

<3 asking if a particular Archangel is with you - e.g. ask - is there an Archangel who wants to work with me?

<3 learn the Archangels

<3 just about anything else you want to do with it!

In the video below I do a tiny mini-reading for Emma about her life purpose and it kind of blew me away! These cards definitely work and I can't say enough good things about them. If you want a reading with me using these cards head to my readings page or find me on Facebook and whip me a message!

The Week Ahead - 27th of October to 2nd of November

Angel Prayers Oracle Cards by Kyle Gray

Mercury is finally going direct! Yay! Now let's see what amazingness is in store this week via the beautiful Kyle Gray Angel Prayers Oracle Cards that I am so in love with right now I even made a video review, but I'll post all about that later...

MONDAY

Healthy Choices - OK, so it's Monday and if you're anything like me that healthy eating thing has a habit of going out the window on weekends sometimes. Today we are being urged to make a healthy choice - eat your vegies, do some exercise, drink a smoothie, or at the very least don't eat that whole packet of biscuits today! Do something today your body will thank you for.

TUESDAY

Honour Your Feelings - Whatever you are going through on Tuesday, just allow it. Ask yourself today - how am I really feeling? Maybe you have some feelings that you've been hiding from even yourself. How do you really feel about that guy/girl? How do you really feel about your job? OMG, how do you really feel about your life?! However you are feeling today is totally valid. Cry in the shower, dance around the lounge room, scream in the broom closet and don't apologise for how you feel today. Unless you hurt someone with your words or actions, because that isn't cool.

WEDNESDAY

The Inner Voice - last week we had an intuitive Wednesday and it looks like we are having another one this week! What's up with Wednesdays? Another great day to stop, meditate, get quiet, journal or whatever else works for you and tune into that inner voice. And pay attention to what you hear! When we follow the loving and supportive guidance of our inner voice things can only get better.

THURSDAY

Unconditional Love - OK, who have you been sending daggers to this week? Some guy who took up all the space on the train? What about that jerk that cut you off in traffic? How about your evil boss or someone that barged you in the supermarket? Hey, maybe you've even been sending daggers to yourself. Today is about releasing daggers. Send love to the people who piss you off (hey, I know it's hard). I sometimes just imagine sending a yellow heart to people. You don't have to like them, but asking love and light to surround people that drive you nuts is totally therapeutic and makes everyone feel better. You might even need to spend some time today asking Mother Mary to send you some unconditional love too. We could all use a bit of that!

FRIDAY

Speak Your Truth - Today we are speaking up for someone, something or ourselves. When you see someone being mean to a shop assistant don't just stand there, tell them it's not cool. Speak up in meetings, post your truth on the internet, clear your throat chakra! This card also suggests that we donate or join a cause for those who can't speak for themselves. People who can't communicate effectively due to disabilities or other conditions, animals, nature. Cats can't talk, but we can talk for them and so we should!

SATURDAY

Live Your Joy - I mean WOW! What an amazing card to get for a Saturday! You are free today to follow your joy, whatever that is! Do whatever makes your heart and soul sing with joy today. Go out with friends, get out in nature, read a book, bake cupcakes, spend time with family and loved ones, watch a silly movie, go shopping for candles, go to Lush and buy yourself a bath bomb (OMG so obsessed with Lush right now!), work on your novel, scrapbook something awesome. Today just DO YOU!

SUNDAY

Leap of Faith - Last weekend we talked about the Fool card and how we needed to start making plans for the next big leap of faith - well here it is again! We've started planning it, now it's time to get the Angels involved and ask them for their input! Spend some time today dreaming, planning and asking for guidance, and if you're already ready - do it! Start that blog, start that website for your business, send that manuscript to that publisher, upload your art on Etsy, or start searching the internet for your dream job.

I'm wishing everyone an amazing week this week, and if you fancy a reading EVERYTHING IN THE ETSY STORE IS 33% OFF this week only with the code: halfterm.

Love, light and Angel Prayers!
