TRANSCRIPT:
So, another one-card reading, and it is . . .
I think I called this one, Yes You Can. And it shows a girl who’s looking upward, but she’s holding a book, she’s reading a book. And she might even be lying on the grass. And there are white birds flying near her, and a rather dreamy-looking face, that seems to be made of – the features seem to be made of some kind of greenery, like grass or hedge, or something like that.
Behind her is a still lake, and a blue sky, and I can see a mountain in the distance. And there’s a woolly goat, a white woolly goat, and the goat is standing on rock.
Then there’s a man who is bent over a large book, or possibly – it looks almost like an artist’s portfolio. He seems to be drawing. Yes, so he’s drawing what looks like a face, the beginnings of a face, but it could be anything, to be honest. He’s hunched over that, and very involved in what he’s doing.
The girl seems to be either dreaming, or looking upwards for inspiration, or has an idea. Yes, she’s almost like been interrupted – her book, in the reading of her book, with these thoughts that she’s had.
The mountain goat reminds me of an image I saw, a photograph, where this goat was – it seemed to be on this tiny little piece of a mountain – this pinnacle, that wouldn’t even hold one human foot. It (the pinnacle on which the goat was balanced) was very thin and almost like – you’d think it would need wings to fly, or arms to balance, to stay on this pinnacle.
But it was so balanced and it was so sure-footed, and it was like, possibly . . . about to leap onto another part of the mountain, or find a foot-hold, that we wouldn’t even think was a proper foot-hold.
So, it’s like, something that we think is impossible. It’s almost like this card is saying, ‘Yes, it is possible. Yes, you can.’
And, the fact that the white birds – now they might be seagulls, but it’s almost like messages (or messengers?) from some kind of spiritual source. And they’re flying in. They’re flying in, almost about to fly on to the book that the girl is – she has her hand on the pages and she’s turning the pages.
As I say, the man, who is obviously drawing something, he’s an artist. So, you’ve got The Writer, and/or The Reader, and you’ve got The Artist. And whatever ‘it’ is, that they are dreaming about, or thinking about, it’s saying, ‘Yes, you can.’
And I’m pretty sure that’s the name I gave the card (‘Yes You Can’) and if not, I’ll note that. So, quite a hopeful card, if you’re considering doing something and you’re not sure whether you have the capability. Or whether it’s going to be too much of a challenge, or – all the reasons that we have, for stopping ourselves from doing what we want to do!
So, Yes You Can. And I’m going to leave that there.
I then thought I’d ask for my soul’s input. Had I missed anything? Was there another message from this card?
When I do this, ‘I’ ask my soul the question, and ‘I’ answer it.
I call it, ‘communing with my soul and soul family’.
Call it dialoguing, call it role play, call it channelling, call it anything you like. But I usually get something extra when I do this, and always, more clarity.
AUDIO TWO:
AUDIO TRANSCRIPT (unedited):
So, dear soul, is there a further message for me, around this card?
(Longish pause.)
We say, this card can symbolise your inspiration from reading a book, or looking at another’s art, or hearing another’s words, in some form. And, being inspired to then take action, and either create your own book, or painting, or poem. Or perhaps, some other creative venture, or should we say, even, adventure!
It is a card that speaks of hearing your soul’s voice, hearing the calling of your inner being, receiving the messages from Spirit, as symbolised by the birds who are flying in, and drawing you to the book, the painting, or the poem.
And, new thoughts come to you, of new ways, that you can take what you have seen or heard, and make something of your own with that.
And many have looked to others and said to themselves, I could never do what this one has done.
But we say, when you are inspired by another and their work, it is because you do indeed have the ability to create similar.
You resonate with their material, and have thoughts and ideas, for your own.
What you create will always be unique. Even if it is in some ways similar to what has inspired you.
You have the ability to balance (*) and traverse places that you believe you cannot safely climb, as this mountain goat demonstrates.
(*) I chuckled, as an image of a goat popped into my mind – balanced, in a seemingly impossible place, for even a mountain goat to be!)
But you are sure-footed in your own way, and you can climb many mountains that you believe you cannot.
Do not allow your doubts to hold you back. Trust in your abilities, and know that your enthusiasm for anything is your sign, that this is indeed for you, and that this is indeed possible for you.
And with that, we send you our love, as always.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
As you view the card, or listen to the audios, the words spoken or images on the card may bring something to your mind, something that is significant to you now.
You might allow your mind to explore your own possible meanings, as you let your thoughts flow.
For example, for me, the mountain goat symbolises an ability to scale rocky heights and narrow ledges with ease, (or certainly with dexterity).
Which then makes me think of mountains to be climbed – pinnacles, or goals to be reached, or projects to start and finish.
The still lake, reminds me of a still and quiet mind, that is open to new ideas and inspiration.
The blue sky, signifies to me, ‘good weather’ or perhaps, that it is a good time to ‘go out into the world.’ So, for me, this could mean it’s the right time to share my oracle cards online and share how I use them.
I identify with the depictions of Writer, Reader, and Artist, so that all feels relevant to me. I love writing but I also love reading. I love making art, but I also love enjoying art created by others.
I am always inspired by the creations of others, especially those creations and those others I am drawn to, and resonate with. But sometimes, what doesn’t resonate can often inspire!
Art to me, is any way we (uniquely) express ourselves (and we are all unique). Our art then, in many ways, is how we live our life and who we are. It’s in the words we speak, which doesn’t have to be poetry. And perhaps, it’s even in the thoughts we think, as they too go out into the world, on an energetic level.
Our Art can be how, and what we contribute and share with others (our time, our energy, ourselves). We can do our art in small ways or in big ways. It all matters. And I believe it all has an impact on the Whole.
I’m getting a little whimsical now. So, I think that will do, for this particular card, today.
I just hope I remember this card’s key message, whenever I feel doubt or apprehension. Whenever I think, Ooh, maybe I’d better keep this particular thing to myself.
Such as the apprehension I felt around sharing my soul’s audio message today, as I haven’t shared such messages online before. I wanted to, yet felt a little unsure (to put it mildly).
But, having had the idea to share it, how could I not do it? Particularly when the key message of this card is:
Yes, You Can.
