Hello and welcome to Fractal Flowers. It is Friday, October 28, 2022, and today's message is from the Angels and Ancestors deck. Today's card is 'Wise One' and the message is Grow Within Your Current Situation.
The Wise One is a nice way to describe the crone aspect of the three-fold goddess. the triple goddess comprises the maiden, mother, and crone or wise woman. This is the woman who has reached her senior years and displays the most psychic aspects of the stages. Where the maiden holds most of her spiritual power in her innocence and purity, the mother holds her power in her ability to grow, nurture, and manifest.
The crone or wise woman holds her power and strength in her wisdom. She can readily trust her intuition because she has years of experience behind her. She easily recognizes the voice of Spirit and the many forms guidance speaks through because of her knowledge.
Today, the Wise One is speaking to us about the current situations we find ourselves in. We are to lean on our inner knowledge and wisdom and trust Spirit's leading, as we rest assured that all things will work together for our good.
If you are not the Wise One yet, this message may say that you need to seek the advice and wisdom from your elders. You may be in a situation and feel lost, helpless and without direction. Spirit will use the Wise Ones to help guide you on the correct path so if you are unsure what to do, seek at the help, advice, and wisdom from a Wise One.
You may also want to embrace the characteristics of the Wise One in relation to your situation. This can include being responsible, making wise decisions, being accountable, and honoring the commitments that you have made in life. By leaning on your own wisdom and when in doubt, seeking the advice of the Wise One, you will continue to grow during your current situation.
You may learn more about the triple goddess in the video player below.
Hi and welcome to Fractal Flowers. It is Saturday, October 22, 2022, and I will give messages from Spirit using multiple oracle decks. Here is a photo of today's reading and a breakdown of each oracle deck and the card drawn. Several cards in today's reading are reversed. This means that Spirit has either an alignment task for us or is offering a protection message.
Here are today's cards drawn for our Fractal Flowers oracle reading.
The Mother (17): The Oracle of the Roses
Water Violet (34): The Flowers Oracle
Magical Gateway: Oracle of the Fairies
Aine (reversed) (1): Goddess Power Oracle Deck
Brown Bear Spirit (reversed) (9): Spirit Animal Oracle
Druid: Angels and Ancestors Oracle Deck
Straif Blackthorn (reversed) (14): Celtic Tree Oracle
Sage: The Witches' Kitchen
Oracle of the Roses: The Mother
Today we are reminded of the goddesses that emphasize what it means to be a mother, nurturer, healer, and full of compassion. These goddesses included Gaia, Rhea, Demeter, Isis and Terra Mater. Our rose today is the Old Blush Rose, and it reminds us not to turn away from our roots and see if there are any connections that need repair.
You are encouraged to mother yourself during this time and if you have unhealed hurts from your past, take the time to revisit these. Release forgiveness if needed and then compassion. You may be asked to strengthen or heal relationships with those who have played the mother-role in your life. The mother embodies strength, grace, wisdom, patience and compassion. Exhibit these traits with others as well as with yourself.
The Mother card also asks us to reflect upon unconditional love and how we define it. As mother, we show unconditional love to our children and there are many wounded people who continue to suffer through life because their own parents withheld unconditional love from them.
Spirit wants us to walk in love as this is our highest calling in life. First, we must show love to Spirit, to others, for the planet, plant and animal kingdom, and to ourselves. Ask yourself what unconditional love means to you and examine your behaviors. Are you an example of unconditional love for others? Are you an example of unconditional love for yourself?
Cybele: The Phrygian Goddess, The Mother of all Gods
The Flowers Oracle: Water Violet
Water Violet is Dr. Bach's flower remedy for
those who have become a bit isolated and separate from others. This may be for a number of reasons but for today's reading and the previous "Mother" card, it appears Spirit is speaking about those who may have unhealed hurts from the past and as a result erected walls to keep others from getting to close. Water Violet speaks of the need to lower the walls, open your heart, and let others in.
Many of these people prefer their company to others and seemingly do very well by being alone. They are self-reliant, confident, and are perfectly content without opening up their lives to others, but this isn't what Spirit has planned for them. If you are in this situation yet still feel pangs of loneliness, Spirit wants you to know that you are never truly alone. By examining your heart and healing any past hurts, you can lower your guard and find your way to truly opening your heart to those whom you wish to have a deeper relationship with. Not only this, but you will find that your love for humanity will increase and you can enjoy a deeper relationship with Spirit, a more grounded connection to Mother Earth and all of her inhabitants, and find a new connection with other people.
Dr. Bach Flower Remedy: Water Violet
Oracle of the Fairies: Magical Gateway
The oracle of the fairies speaks to those who have been teetering on the idea that fairies are real. The message is to walk through the magical gateway that leads to the realm of the fae. In many areas of life seeing is believing, but when it comes to entering the magical gateway of the fae realm, you must believe before you can see.
Fairies are an angelic realm that comprises guardians of the Earth. As you begin to see and work with fairies, you will become more ecologically minded. You will find your connection to Mother Earth is greater and you'll view the world in a different way. It isn't uncommon for people to become vegan or vegetarian after they begin working with the fairy realm.
The key to walking through the magical gateway to the fairy realm is found in your heart. Do you believe that fairies are real?
Today, the fairies ask you to open your heart by unlocking the door and taking a step of faith through the door to the realm of fae.
Simply step outside and spend a few moments in quiet meditation with nature. Ask the fairies to show themselves to you.
Fairy Whisperers Claim to Be Able to See Fairies
Goddess Power Oracle Deck: Aine (reversed)
In the Goddess Power Oracle Deck, the Irish
goddess Aine comes through with a message about change and adaptability. Known as Queen of the Fairies, Aine could easily shift through any realm. She was also known for the duality of her personality where she was full of love, healing, and all things bright and warm, yet when crossed, could bring wrath and a curse. One of Ireland's most beloved goddesses, Aine's message today is for those who fear change and are scared to move with life's changing rhythms.
There have been many important changes facing humanity since the start of the 2019 COVID pandemic and many are afraid of what life has to bring. Aine's message is that in order to face life's challenges, you must be fully present and willing to adapt to whatever comes your way. Do not fear the unknown, do not fear the future, and do not fear the changes that face you. You are strong, victorious, and an overcomer. There is no situation, sickness, rumors of war, or even war that can keep you from your destiny. Stand strong and stand in courage. Know that when these things arise in your life, there is no use in trying to fight them. You can change with them, but they do not have to change who you are. Keep your heart of love and light pure and you will find that there is nothing that can overshadow you and plunge you into darkness.
Spirit Animal Oracle Deck: Brown Bear Spirit (reversed)
Brown Bear Spirit reminds you that there is a time to wait and a time to rest. Because this card is reversed, Spirit is saying that you are rushing or working yourself too hard. This may be physically at your job, or it could be something that you are pursuing. Whatever it is, you are trying to resolve a situation or achieve a desired outcome and you are pushing yourself too hard trying to make something happen. Instead, it is time to take a rest or pause and go within. If you are working too hard, then Spirit is saying to take a break. If you are trying to resolve a situation with no luck, then Spirit says withdraw, meditate, go within, and look at the situation from a different point of view.
Regardless of your exact situation or circumstance, Brown Bear Spirit says to step back and take a break. You do not need to manifest the answer. You just need to go within and open your eyes. The answer will appear at the perfect time.
Angels and Ancestors Oracle Deck: Druid
Druid comes in to let you know that now is
not the time to make any sudden moves or changes. It is best to take your time and stand still. Hold your ground and hold space. Don't let fear of the unknown cause anxiety or make you feel as though you must make a rash decision. In fact, the opposite is true. Spirit is bringing through multiple messages in today's readings suggesting it is best to stay where you are and just wait. Trust that Spirit is working everything out for your best interest and by waiting and trusting, you will soon see things in a different way.
Remember, this is not the time to make any sudden changes.
Celtic Tree Oracle: Straif Blackthorn (reversed)
Many times when we run into problems or difficulties, it is easy to point the finger at others and cast blame. We can then develop a habit of never taking accountability or responsibility for our own actions and falling into patterns of negativity that only make the problem worse. Life is full of challenges and we are all on a journey of growth. Everyone makes mistakes and when someone makes a mistake (whether you or someone else), it's imperative to offer forgiveness. Learn from the mistake, release love and healing, and move forward.
You may need to hold yourself accountable for a negative situation you are currently finding yourself in. Spirit is saying that now is not the time to make sudden moves to 'fix things.' Make yourself accountable for your part in the situation. Only by owning your mistakes and being accountable for your actions can you truly learn from your behavior and grow. Stand strong and firm and you find that being accountable is the path to true growth.
Witches' Kitchen: Sage
Shrubby sage, sacred space
I'll purify and cleanse your place
Vibrations raised, no longer stuck
assist, I shall, to bring you luck.
This magic is worked with harm to none
So mote it be. There it is done
- from the Witches' Kitchen
Sage is all about protection and purification. You may have let too much negative energy into your space and Spirit is saying it's time to clean house. Grab your sage, incense, or sticks and do your purification rituals. You may also use sage sprays if you suffer from allergies or asthma and prefer not to have smoke wafting in the air.
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.
You may watch a video that discusses the Ogham (ohm) alphabet below.
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.
