I created The Midas Touch oracle card using the free collage app, on Freemix.com.
It’s your choice, what you do, and don’t do.
Bloom in your own way
And that, is more than enough.
MP3 TRANSCRIPTION:
Just a simple, ‘What’s the message for today?’
So, I’ve drawn one card and it is . . .
Oh, it’s this one again.
It’s called, The Midas Touch. And it shows one woman who’s reaching out, in order to be touched, and another woman who looks as though she’s quite withdrawn and within herself. And although she is authentic – as shown by her nakedness – and she’s sitting within a blooming flower, she’s very inward focussed, seemingly inward focussed.
So, she’s not reaching out, she’s very much in her own world . . . It’s almost like she’s keeping the flower to herself. So, she’s keeping whatever she has that is ‘blooming’ she’s keeping it to herself.
Whereas the woman to the left, who is actually reaching out for the Midas Touch, she has a big yellow sunflower-looking flower above her. Almost like a sun. Almost like rays of the sun. And there are lots of seeds that you can see within that flower, also, so there is potential for thousands more flowers to bloom.
So, it’s like a conscious thing, it’s of having to take action, reach out, do something. You have to do something. You can’t just wait.
I mean, it appears to me that he (‘Midas’) is actually touching her as well. So, it’s almost as though, eventually . . . yeah, it almost seems to be saying, whether you reach out, or whether you don’t reach out, if it’s your destiny, then you’re going to be touched by The Gold, you’re going to be touched by the blessings, one way or another.
So, this might be a card about doing it in a way that is comfortable to you. Doing it in a way that feels right to you, which is a big – something I’m talking about all the time, being such an independent spirit!
Yeah, I’m very much one for doing it my way, and not being influenced by how others are doing it. I can be inspired! But there is no right way, there’s only the way that’s right for you.
So yeah, I think that’s all I can really say, for the moment, about this card. And maybe that will do for now. Yeah, okay.

Those were my initial thoughts on the card, Midas Touch. Of course, whenever I listen back to a card reading, or type up the transcript, I usually receive further insights. So . . .
Perhaps the card is saying that we are all blessed, all gifted, all touched by The Gold. That we’re all given The Gold. We can choose to keep it to ourselves, or we can share it with others.
The Gold is our unique self with our unique gifts – gifts that we often take for granted and sometimes don’t even view as gifts, or even as something valuable.
We can be insular, or we can reach out. And perhaps this card is saying that through sharing our Gold or our ‘blooms’ and ‘blooming’ with others, we have the potential to seed so much more.
Perhaps through sharing our seeds, blooms and blooming (ideas, creations, growth) it’s not just about one seed or one bloom, it is about potentially thousands of seeds and blooms.
I had a vision once, of one book being written. It was read by a number of readers, and a percentage of those readers were inspired to write their own book. Those (many) subsequent books were read by many others, some of whom then wrote their own books. I did work this all out in a complicated sum, but I think you get the idea. In effect, from one book, hundreds more readers were inspired and thousands more books were written.
But inspiring ‘books’ are just one example. Anyone, who shares anything they’re enthusiastic about, can inspire others – who then inspire others. How we share may be online or it may be with a small group of offline friends (whatever feels right to us).
Maybe you won’t (and don’t want to) reach hundreds or millions of people with your positive messages, your encouragement, service or product.
But maybe you will touch one person, and maybe that one person will reach millions.
And anyone who has seen the film, It’s a Wonderful Life, and loved it, knows that we don’t have to write a book or share anything publicly, in order to touch the lives of many.
So, perhaps that is also what the card is saying:
It’s your choice, what you do, and don’t do.
Bloom in your own way
And that, is more than enough.
