Continuing her series, Emma Sunerton-Burl looks into the cards of The Sacred Circle Tarot, by Anna Franklin and Paul Mason, published by Llewellyn:

I look at the card and am very drawn to the mistletoe and also the stone circle reminds me a of place locally which I find is very powerful, though it isn’t this actual place pictured here.

I walk into the card.

I go first to the circle and walk down hill to it. The ground is soft under foot and seems to draw me into the circle effortlessly. In the circle I feel a conical tube of power; energy going out into the universe. I feel it is a magnetic coil of manifestation and that I could ask for whatever I want here and it would send a strong vibration out to the universe to start things moving towards me creating what I am requesting. I send out a request and feel my heart lift as I feel the energy shift.

I ask the circle for its message to us here.

“We stand as guardians to the process of creation. We will help you create your heart’s desire; we will bring healing energy into the world, abundance of health wealth and love. You need only ask for what you want.

“Thank you.” I say. “So as a card what do you suggest? That these things are coming? That the person can ask for what they want?”

“Yes this and more, We are the start of the process of creating what you want in life physically; we are the beginning of the manifestation. Every creation starts with an idea, we are the place where the idea transforms into a physical set of events and circumstances to bring about the creation. It has begun, now just allow it to come.”

“Thank you great circle. You are very powerful.”

I then decide to float up to the disk above me. “What do you represent?” I ask.

“I am a disk of protection on this the physical level, none will harm you while you have me as your protector. I will protect from poverty, hunger and all manner of physical catastrophe. In a reading you can see me as the connection of God with your physical world. I will not let difficulty overwhelm you. I am a new start for you too. The beginnings of new life. As you see the mistletoe above me, I am life that comes from the source, I am also about love in a physical sense and can be seen as a commitment in practical terms such as living with someone – rather than a marriage which has more of an emotional commitment than I show here.

I am down to earth and pragmatic, joyful beginnings of a concrete practical nature. Security financially, your basic needs are met and you can allow more abundance to come to you. You only have to ask and what you request is on its way.”

“Thank you.” I say. “That is very interesting.”

I ask the mistletoe if it has anything to add.

“I am the freedom to accept and receive from others. I grow upon another tree and allow myself to accept nourishment from the tree. It is my true nature to do so. When thinking about your abundance do not cut off sources from others as if it doesn’t count. At certain times in your life there will be the need and requirement to allow yourself to receive from another. It doesn’t make you lesser of a person, it is just as true to allow yourself to receive as it is to give. When we are in balance in these things then abundance comes to us effortlessly. My message is about knowing your place and the energy of the time – Is it time for you to give? Is it time for your to receive? As you move forward in life knowing the answers to these questions, you find love, abundance and prosperity will follow you easily regardless of the social and financial environment you may find yourself in.”

“I am also a symbol of fertility and love, connecting with others in a physical world is important, know you contain the seed of all you want in your life you only need to nurture it and allow it to grow into something tangible. Dare to follow your dreams. Believe in yourself and allow yourself to give and receive with love. There is enough for all.”

“Thank you mistletoe, I accept your message for me personally too.”

“What if you are reversed?” I ask the card as a whole.

“You are turning down opportunities that are coming your way. You hold your head to the earth and not allowing the connection with spirit to feed you in a physical way. It is almost that you say spirit and money can not be on the same side; there is only one or the other. As you believe this then all you have and that could support you is falling away from you – like the funnel from the circle is emptying out and pouring away from the source. Allow yourself to believe in yourself and that spiritual realms can help you in a physical way, supporting you by guiding you to where you need to be to be abundant in all areas of life. Also you would be blocking the wealth in your life, perhaps through having started many things and not allowed yourself to finish them, setting up a feeling of hopelessness about your own creative powers. Allow yourself to believe in the skills you have, the many talents you can offer the world, and as you stand by yourself in this way you right the card and abundance begins to flow. Even small steps in this direction will reap rewards and show you that you are valued by spirit and in this world and that you can have all that you need.”

“Thank you – I am touched by you all here. I feel your message and I also feel I have things to take from this in myself which I am grateful for you bringing to my attention.”

I turn and leave the card and am handed a gold coin. “Remember you can create all you need in life, weaving the fabric of the universe to resonate with your dream – as each person does this then the world is made a better place – do not fear your dreams.”

I have found this card somewhat more challenging then I expected and will be contemplating this in the days ahead for I feel more learning will be coming.
