As I mentioned last week I initiated a gift for all of Steemit called Medicine Card Monday, and with this intention I am pulling a card of healing for the community. This is different than tarot in that the cards I use are on the medicinal aspect of humanity other than the most common cards found in a tarot deck.

More specifically the decks I use are from the Medicine Cards that work with Spirit Animals, Mystical Shaman Oracle Cards, and the Chakra Wisdom Oracle Cards. The cards will assist in helping those interested, find comfort in things going on in our community and the world we are now dealing with. Namely, issues around the world, atmospheric, or overcoming health issues of all sorts, etc.

My hope is that by pulling a card for Steemit this will in turn assist with my Medicine training by using my intuition more (which can always use more practice), give back to the community, and help those seeking answers. I will take some of the reading from the guidebooks provided with the cards, but also give intuitive and medicinal words to help our community. We all have days that we need encouragement, inspiration, and comfort.

The card I picked for the week of April 16, 2018, is as follows:

The Card

Starting in a sacred space with a clear mind and body I pulled card number 19 Fire from the Mystical Shaman ORACLE deck by Jenna DellaGrottaglia, Alberto Villoldo, Colette Baron-Reid, and Marcela Lobos.

The Reading

What is very interesting about this deck is that the reading is divided into three sections, so let's begin.

The Essence

Starting with a summary of the guidebook; fire tends to consume anything in its path, flames remind us of the impermanence of nature, reality, or how situations transform into beauty or chaos. Fire is passion, warmth and light are heavenly, but too much heat can burn us. To fully step into the energy of fire is to be transformed like the Phoenix rising from the ashes.

This may be reminding us that Steemit was having a dip from $10 USD, when I first started and went as low as $1.50 USD. Those that stuck it out are now seeing us rise out of the ashes like a Phoenix. For those that push through the hard times, we all come together ahead after consistent work.

We may see plagiarism, arguments, or feel negative energy that are not of the content we feel should be on Steemit, but when we push through we find others that are like minded and come together in unity. We stepped through the fire energy and we will continue to rise and leave the chaos behind. When we stick together to clear negativity from the platform, there will be no need to have thought we should not be on Steemit for those feelings will have burned away with fire.

The Invitation

Warm your hands and your heart by your inner fire. Let it burn away your hardships; let it consume your pain and sorrow. Has life become too rigid, cold, or superficial? Light a candle or make a bonfire, toss your feelings of rigidity and pain into the fire. Give everything to the fire for a rapid transformation.

As we can see we need to let our negativity go and do so by lighting a fire or match and imagining that negativity being sent into that flame. Light that fire and let it go away from our body and into that flame, then push that energy out into that candle or bonfire. It works!

The Medicine

Are you feeling too fiery? Have you been reactive and short-tempered toward others? All fiery emotions directed towards others can and usually "backfire" back to you. As we learned from a child, it is not good to play with fire and the same is true when we are out of balance or angry. Now is the not the time to act or react. It is time to remain calm and befriend your inner fire so it does not scorch you.

Here we can see that many times an innocent person comes along and writes something they are passionate about, for instance Grumpy Cat or MadPuppy and their never ending flags, maybe it is about the new Transparency Bot, or the very new post about Payouts for Upvotes Must be above .01 for a valid Payout. We all have a choice to either react in anger or to take a step back and respond responsibly. Maybe if we see a comment opposed to our own viewpoint is not to react with scathing remarks.

Another instance is if we happen upon a discussion and we do not like the topic of that discussing then instead of responding in a negative fashion, the most positive way to react is to step away from the keyboard. Is it not always better to create positivity and to treat others as we would want to be treated?

I hope you liked the reading for this week! If so, please leave a comment below. I'd love to hear what you think (but not if you think it's all BS!) That's typical Eagle Spirit humor right there.

Have a glorious week and come back next Monday for another Medicine Card reading! Peace.
