It’s December! And I’m back with the monthly PAC reading. Things are busy here—it’s the holidays and there’s always a lot going on for everyone. We just did a live AWS podcast on Facebook about boundaries and the holidays with my friend, Caz. I think we could all use a refresher this time of year, so drop by @adventureswithspiritofficial to tune in. Andrea and I also opened the Spiritual Evolution Collective to founding members and we are busy creating so much new content for that. I hope this reading finds you navigating the holidays alright and giving yourself some time to breathe and process.
This month we’re using the Gateway of Light Activation Oracle by Kyle Gray. I love the imagery in this deck—so lush and gorgeous. As always, I’ve selected a card for the collective message first and then you get to choose if you want card 1, 2, or 3.
I think the collective card is quite relevant to the month—Sword of Light. This card has a sword down the center surrounded by oranges, blues, and yellow rippling out. What jumps out for me here is the idea of cutting cords. The holidays can be a lot and there are often times when we are around many people. It doesn’t surprise me that spirit is reminding us to clean up our energy. We pick up so much junk when we’re out and about—especially if we’re stretched thin and not paying attention or not giving ourselves time to Ground, Clear and Filter before we embark on the day. I know I am guilty of that for sure.
Let’s just pause and talk a bit about cord cutting. Cord cutting comes from the idea that we are all connected energetically. We are all one. This is a good thing, but sometimes what happens is cords of energy from someone, something, some place branch out and connect to us—OR we send cords out to things around us. I do believe that there are cords that aren’t negative. I also think that we don’t usually see the positive anchoring cords when we go to check in for a clearing. If a cord is coming up, it usually means it needs to be cut and cleared. I want to be really clear on one thing: cords happen. Sometimes they are intentional but often people have no idea they’re doing it. Don’t forget to extend that grace to yourself too—you’d be amazed how many cords you send out into the world. It’s not so important on where they came from per se, as it is to just cut them and clear them and move on. Can cords hold information? Yes, they can. You may get an impression on who it’s from or why, but I wouldn’t dive into that until you cut the cord and feel confident that energy is clear. Diving in can sometimes make the cord more dense and harder to cut.
When I cut cords, I feel a sense of relief or a lightening and often I’ll have more energy—not feeling so drained. It’s like I can take a deeper breath. There’s so many ways to cut cords, but let’s do an easy one here. If you’re able, close your eyes and take a deep breath. Feel, see, know, hear if you have any cords. It’s ok if nothing comes up just trust the process is happening. Set the intention that you’re releasing cords and sending that energy back to where it came from. Imagine you have an object that you can start to cut the cords away or call in an energy being you feel connected to and ask them to cut the cords for you. Imagine those cords falling off to be absorbed by the earth—turned into compost for Her. And when you’re ready come back into your space and just take your hands and brush yourself off. Brush your arms, torso, legs—this sweeping motion will help dispel any leftover energy. You can do this as often as you need to when you’re feeling heavy or anxious or just off.
Ok, into the readings, but a quick note first—all of these cards deal with light and stepping into it or finding it. This concept works beautifully for both the northern and southern hemispheres. On my end of the world it speaks to the idea of finding light as we go into the dark and on the southern end of the world it speaks to coming out of the dark and finding the light. I may slip into northern hemisphere references but the concepts work for all of us.
Card 1 folks, you picked Soul Star Activation. The god Horus is on this card and the phrase that jumps out at me is “remembering who you are.” I love this. The days are short—winter solstice is coming up this month and I always think the darkness lends itself to introspection. Part of this introspection is tuning in to remembering who you are. Letting go of what the outside world has put on you or what you have taken on from the external world and getting back to seeing the core of yourself. The essence of who you are. Part of this remembering means acknowledging the wisdom you have within. When we embark on a soul seeking or spiritual journey, it can be easy to turn to outward sources—people or things we believe are more “spiritual” than we are. But what we have to keep in mind is that we also contain vast amounts of wisdom not only from past lifetimes, but from this lifetime as well. This month you need to honor that—honor your inner wisdom, remember that you come from all that is and bring that with you to earth. Don’t give your power away. Spend some time with yourself to really see yourself as Spirit does.
Card 2 folks, you got the Order of Melchizedek. Big energy comes with this card. The image are mountains rising up in the night sky with a beam of light shining down from the heavens and connecting to earth—it almost looks like a door of light on the card. What’s coming through with this card is reflecting on what you’ve learned so far in this life. What soul lessons have come up for you, what challenging experiences have you had—and what did you learn from them? Taking time to reflect on what you have learned can help you connect the dots. You start to see how your past experiences and knowledge infuse into the present moment and you’re able to use those as tools to help you navigate your future. You are also a wealth of wisdom and sometimes, exploring this and pondering it, helps you to recognize it more fully. I think it also shifts perspective for ourselves when we feel like we’re struggling in the dark.
Card 3 folks, you pulled Solar Light upgrade. This image is of the solar plexus chakra and it’s shining bright light the sun in yellow and oranges. An expansion is happening for 3 folks—and it’s a call to open up to the light, to inspiration and energy and channel it into your projects and intentions for creation. You’re going to be doing this month—creating this month, focusing on connecting with Spirit and the Universe to bring things to life. Things are calling to be born and you’re going to use this energy to answer them. I love it. It’s not one specific thing—remember the creation energy is neutral so wherever you point that energy that’s what it will help grow. Take some time to write down your intentions so you are clear with where you are directing that energy. Ha! Spirit just dropped in and said this isn’t “instant gro” plant food. I take this to mean that you're not going to see an instantaneous return on your investment this month—but you are going to see things take off much more quickly and grow much more quickly if you invite that energy in to work with you.
And that’s the reading!
