Hello and welcome to Fractal Flowers. I hope you had a wonderful Halloween. Are you celebrating Samhain? Samhain began on October 31st at dusk and ends tonight on November 1st at dusk. It is a time to honor the dead and welcome the season of darkness. It's also a time when we look at our own lives and release things that no longer serve us. Just as the trees are releasing their leaves and nuts, we too must let go of things that are holding us back as we prepare for the winter months.
Winter is all about protection and using the things that were stored up during the harvest for sustenance. As we await the new growth of spring, we enter this season prepared and ready for to let spirit do the releasing work in us so that we create room for new growth.
Jack-o'-lanterns (or will-o'-the-wisps) have been lit for centuries to keep dark spirits (often mischievous fae or sprites) from wreaking havoc on one's life. Lit jack-o'-lanterns are used to provide protection of the home where they are adorned.
Do you need protection today? Yesterday are message was 'Zombie' and we received Spirit's messages about living life to the fullest and being a pro-active, participant in your life. Now, we see our message is protection. Do you feel safe and secure? Do you believe that you can achieve the life that you want and that there is nothing to fear as you go after your dreams? Do you know within your heart that you are truly safe from all harm?
There is great peace that comes when you accept Spirit's love and realize that there is nothing anyone can do to you to truly harm you. Bring in the white light of Spirit multiple times per day and grow that energy as a super strong, impenetrable barrier that surrounds and protects you. Do you protect yourself and your home with charms, spells, herbs, and crystals? If not, then start now.
Maybe you don't need spiritual protection but physical protection. Do you need to set up boundaries in your life? Are people taking advantage of you? Are you dealing with people who do not have your best interest at heart? Jack-o'-lantern says that it is time for you to think of yourself first and ensure that you are being protected. Spirit offers you all the protection you need. Make sure to work with your spirit team and let your guardian angels know what you need. Call upon Archangel Michael for your protection needs.
Here is a white light meditation that will help you call on Archangel Michael for protection and purification.
Hello and welcome to Fractal Flowers. It is Tuesday, October 25, 2022, and I have drawn our oracle card for the day. I used the Oracle of the Fairies deck by Karen Kay and our beautiful Spirit message is Journey. This is a wonderful card to show up after yesterday's reading that spoke about our focus and becoming unstuck in life. Now, Spirit is telling us to get our preparations in order because a journey is coming.
The fairies are bringing you an exciting message today. Are you ready to receive it? This could mean that you are about to embark on a fabulous journey or trip. Now that we are nearing the end of October, many people will begin planning for the November holidays. This message may come in for those who are in the United States planning and preparing for Thanksgiving weekend trips.
This card may also say that it's time for you to loosen up your schedule and add a bit of spontaneity to your life. Are you feeling overworked, stressed out, and tired? Maybe a weekend trip or sudden getaway is just what the doctor ordered to get back on track.
Of course, this message may not be literal and can simply mean that you are on your spiritual journey and to be prepared for a new level of growth and understanding.
Our beautiful fairy card depicts the fairy of travel with a hare. Hares are fast creatures and our lovely fairy is ready to go at the drop of a hat. Likewise, you too should be prepared for a sudden departure as this message may be taken literally that an opportunity may soon arise for you to take a trip so be prepared.
For those who can't suddenly get up and go, you may enjoy this guided meditation where you can take a spiritual journey to the outer edges of the universe via your subconscious.
Hello and welcome to Fractal Flowers. Today is Friday, October 21, 2022, and I am giving messages from Spirit using my oracle and tarot decks. Part of this reading will be on the blog and the other part will take place live on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.
If you have questions regarding one of plants, flowers, goddesses, or animal types in these readings, please use the Wikipedia app to the right of these blog posts and search for more information.
I am starting with eight oracle decks. They are as follows.
The Lover (24): The Oracle of the Roses
Gorse (13): The Flowers Oracle
Wait for Winter: Oracle of the Fairies
Yuki Onna (upright) (52): Goddess Power Oracle Deck
Dolphin Spirit (20): Spirit Animal Oracle
Star Ancestor: Angels and Ancestors Oracle Deck
Nuin Ash (reversed) (5): Celtic Tree Oracle
Apple: The Witches' Kitchen
Oracle of the Roses: The Lover
Our message from the Oracle of the Roses is the Lover. This rose is called the Bourbon Rose and it is an Old Garden Rose. The Bourbon Rose speaks about passion and this rose is certainly a beautiful specimen to behold. Ask yourself today: 'What is it that I love?' 'What is it I am passionate about?' We are emotional creatures and our lives would be void and meaningless without love or even the ability to pursue our passions and dreams.
When the Lover card appears it may refer to one of the many ways that love flows in our lives. Sometimes the Lovers (whether in this oracle deck or in tarot) can refer to sexuality and romantic love. Sometimes it refers to our own self-love and views of self-esteem and self-worth. What are your own personal values and morals? The Lovers asks you to examine your core beliefs and live a life that is honorable and in alignment with your highest good and the highest good of all. The Lover card also asks us to keep our passions in perspective and balance. Your relationship with Spirit always takes priority and your primary and number one love should be with Spirit or the God of your own understanding.
Next, you want to live a life that is in balance and in alignment, that shows the love you have for others, the world, and the environment (animals, plants, Mother Earth), and next you want to show yourself a healthy sense of love. Some may say that your love for Spirit and love for yourself walk hand-in-hand and is actually the first on the list because if you can't love yourself, you won't show love to your neighbors and your environment. It is by cultivating a loving relationship with Spirit (the God of your own understanding) that you will learn how to truly love yourself and love others as well.
Flowers Oracle: Gorse
Gorse is a powerful plant that can withstand the elements of winter. It is more common in Europe than in the United States but offers many invaluable lessons to those seeking spiritual wisdom from plants, animals, and nature (Mother Earth). The number for this card is 13, so keep that in mind today as often these readings work with the numerology listed on each card. This oracle deck works with Dr. Bach's flower remedies and Gorse is a remedy for those who are in despair.
The beautiful yellow depicted in Gorse elicits feelings of hope in times of uncertainty. Gorse speaks to us about the steadfastness of faith and knowing that when we are walking with Spirit and aligned with our higher selves, there is nothing that can stop us. There is no trial, tribulation, or obstacle that we will not overcome. As a psychic medium, I attest the Spirit lives on and our journeys on this plane do not cease when our physical bodies stop working. Our Spirit journey continues and our loved ones who have crossed the plane may still interact with us and send messages. Knowing that our lives our eternal and death is a weak opponent, we should live our lives with the assurance that there is nothing that can come our way that can ever truly defeat us. Our spirits are unstoppable and grow from one trial and tribulation to the next. Lest not your heart be troubled...simply believe.
You may find lessons and wisdom the Gorse plant offers humankind at the Goddess Tree.
Oracle of the Fairies: Wait for Winter
Our fairies came through with a message about waiting for winter. As Gorse reminds us to be hopeful in times of uncertainty, our Fairy Queen of Winter has stepped in to tell us that we are going to see a spiritual breakthrough in winter. It is currently autumn in the northern hemisphere with the first day of winter beginning on December 21, 2022, or in 61 days.
Regardless of where you are located right now, this message lets us know that within approximately two months' time, there is going to be a spiritual breakthrough and to stand in faith, hope, and remain steadfast.
Have you set your intentions? Have you set goals? Have you continued working towards your goals or have you become disillusioned, lazy, or simply forgotten about the wonderful things you planned to work on? Two months is a lot of time to revolutionize your life. Why not refocus, restrategize, and get those dreams, goals, and visions back on board. It's never too late to pick up and start over again, no matter how far you fear you have fallen.
You have 61 days! What miracles can you and Spirit manifest in 61 days? Make sure the things you manifest are for the highest good of all and under Spirit's divine plan of love. Take action now. Remove any spiritual (or physical) blocks that have stopped you from reaching your goal. Strategize, get focused, and work on your plan. Together, you and Spirit can co-create miracles!
Goddess Power Oracle: Yuki-Onna (Upright)
Our message from the Goddess Power Oracle Deck is Yuki-Onna. The card and goddess represent stillness and there is a theme being depicted in today's reading that speaks about winter, stillness, preparation, and waiting for the return of those things you are manifesting. Yuki-Onna is the Japanese goddess of winter. Yuki-Onna is similar to the High Priestess card in the tarot deck. This card speaks of
non-action and encourages you to stand still as you wait for your intentions to bring forth your manifestations. Today's reading has repeatedly spoke about our manifestations coming to pass during winter. No matter where you are reading this from, the messages from Spirit indicate that we can expect our manifestations to materialize in approximately 61 days.
Colette Baron-Reid created this Goddess and draws inspiration from goddess of history and myth. Though this video does not depict Yuki-Onna in the same light as in this oracle deck, I think it is interesting to see a bit of Yuki-Onna's history. Please enjoy the below video.
The Spirit Animal Oracle: Dolphin Spirit
Dolphin Spirit reminds us of the duality of life and also the space between. Nothing in life is all good or all bad. Even in our most trying and difficult circumstances, there are blessings and silver linings to be found. When we are at our lowest point, it is then we are made strong. When we have nothing, we often see who our true friends are, who is there to help us, and who and how Spirit manifests blessings to us.
There are always lessons to be learned in life and Dolphin Spirit reminds us that nothing in life is so simple that it is all negative or all positive. By keeping your heart humble and open to Spirit, you will see the sun through the storms and know that no matter what comes your way, the sun will shine again.

Angels and Ancestors Oracle: Star Ancestor
Many Native American tribes have legends speaking of star people who are enlightened, light beings that visit humans on a regular basis imparting wisdom and knowledge. This card, Star Ancestor, reminds you that not only are you descended from stars and a bearer of light, you are not to walk your journey on this planet alone. You have a host of spiritual helpers who will guide you along your way, including your Star Ancestors who ask you to listen to the wisdom within your own soul and follow its guidance.
You may learn a bit more about Star Ancestors and Native American legends that speak about them below.
Celtic Tree Oracle: Nuin Ash (Reversed)
Our message from the Celtic Tree Oracle is Nuin Ash reversed. The message is in line with the previous cards as it speaks about non-action, restraint, and waiting patiently until it is time to reap the benefits of the things you have materialized.
Nuin Ash encourages us to go within and connect with our higher selves for wisdom, knowledge, and
guidance.
You have everything that you need within you. All you need to do is wait patiently and in love. The Universe is working on your half and with Nuin Ash on your side, you will make it through the obstacles and ultimately reach your goal.

Witches' Kitchen Oracle: Apple
I find it lovely that Apple came through in our Witches' Kitchen as we move closer to Halloween (Samhain). Apples have enjoyed a long history and are often associated with things that are forbidden such as the story of Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit. However, apples aren't only associated with
Christianity. They are also associated with other myths and legends where apples represent love, fertility, health, and success. Apples are also associated with a happy marriage.
Our message today celebrates all of the beautiful gifts that apples bring forward, especially during the month of October.
Here is a wonderful video from Ginny Metheral discussing apple traditions and rituals, especially during the month of October.
Hello! It's October 20, 2022, and I have pulled our oracle and tarot reading for the day. Here are the eight oracle cards that I drew. They are as follows.
The Artist: The Oracle of the Roses
Vine: The Flowers Oracle
Abundance: Oracle of the Fairies
Demeter Reversed: Goddess Power Oracle Deck
Frog Spirit: Spirit Animal Oracle
Knight: Angels and Ancestors Oracle Deck
Uilleand Honeysuckle: Celtic Tree Oracle
Chamomile: The Witches' Kitchen
You may see the cards in the photo below. Please take a second to look at the cards and see if they speak to you. What are your first impressions? What is Spirit conveying to you through the images? Please jot down any thoughts, ideas, or inspirations in your spiritual journals.
Oracle of the Roses: The Artist
The Artist card features the full-bodied Rubens Rose, named after the artist Peter Paul Rubens. This card is all about creative pursuits and inspiration. It asks you to tap into your creativity and connect with Spirit in this manner. Be your own, unique and creative self. During this period, let your intuition guide you and lead the way. Do not follow what others are doing. Be your own muse. The Rubens Rose is named so because Peter Paul Rubens painted full-bodied women in the nude, much like the soft-bodied rose. Here is Peter Paul Rubens' painting 'The Three Graces.'
The card Vine features a mother walking with a little child by her side. The message speaks about service as well as the responsibility that comes with leadership positions. You can sum up Vine's message with this phrase: Lead with motivation, not domination. Leadership is a position of power and it is a wise person who chooses to lead with positive reinforcement and inspiring creativity, passion, focus, drive, and determination in others. This is the right way to inspire others as opposed to using power, force, and domination to manipulate and control.
The Oracle of the Fairies: Abundance
Spirit has been giving us messages of abundance for over a month now. I certainly appreciate them, especially with a dismal financial forecast for 2023. In this message, the fairies are telling us to prepare ourselves for incoming abundance. It's also important to understand the power of manifestation and to set our intentions in order for abundance to come.
It's important not to limit the way that Spirit blesses us with abundance. Many times, people only think about money when they see the word abundance. Spirit may choose to bless you with abundance in a variety of ways: health, spiritual knowledge, pregnancy, growing your family, and even adding new pets to your family could all be part of an abundance blessing.
Before you can receive abundance, you must believe that you are worthy to receive it.
Goddess Power Oracle: Demeter Reversed
There are different reasons why people get into co-dependent or manipulative situations. Spirit is using this card to say that you are involved in a situation with people who are not good for you. They may be psychic vampires, draining your energy, or crossing over your boundaries. It is important that you set healthy boundaries in your life and limit people who have a negative impact on your energy. Demeter says that it is time to set boundaries and ensure that you only surround yourself with healthy, positive relationships.
Don't be afraid to say no to toxic people.
Spirit Animal Oracle: Frog Spirit
Frog spirit tells us that it is time to declutter and make space for the things that we need to keep in our lives. Sometimes we overextend ourselves and may have people, objects, and commitments that need to be removed in order for us to stay focused and complete our tasks in a timely manner. By making sure that our homes and lives are clear of clutter and confusion, we make room for the things that promote our spiritual and physical growth.
Angels and Ancestors: Knight
The knight tells us to be brave, full of integrity, and stand up for what we believe in. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is the right thing to do. Never be afraid to make choices that may be at odds with popular opinion, when you know they are in alignment with your morals, values, and Spirit's call on your life.
The Knight is a fierce and brave warrior and you are called to be fierce and brave as well.
Celtic Tree Oracle: Uilleand Honeysuckle
This card represents the search for hidden knowledge and wisdom that one obtains from going within. The flowering honeysuckle vine tells us that we must be true to Spirit and true to ourselves and as we continue our journey through life, it is paramount we turn away from things that are false and dark. We must always walk in the light and sometimes when the light is hard to see, we need to go within and find the spark that illuminates our paths. Meditation is key to going within, hearing Spirit, and finding your way out of the darkness and back into the light.
Witches' Kitchen Oracle: Chamomile
Chamomile speaks to us about peace and relaxation. Like our earlier message in Vine, Chamomile tells us to loosen up. Many people are living fast-paced lives and turn to chemical stimulants for energy. Chamomile says it is time to loosen up and relax. Maybe you have been working too hard, or have been leading others in a very controlled manner. Maybe you are dealing with anxiety issues. Chamomile is a nature relaxer, but make certain to speak to your health care provider before using any flower or herb to treat your ailments.
Chamomile is readily available in the form of tea and has been used since ancient Egypt where it was associated with the sun God Ra. Chamomile is one of the nine sacred herbs of the Saxons and is listed in the Nine Herbs Charm.
You may see a video about making flower essences (such as the Bach Flower Essences that are depicted in the Flowers Oracle deck) from the Florida School of Holistic Living below.
I hope this oracle reading blessed you. Now I am going to give a free, five-card tarot reading for the day. This is a message from Spirit for the collective and it includes the following spread: Situation, Challenges, Solution, Advice, and Outcome.
I will use my Flower Fairies tarot deck for this reading.
