Thank you again. This post has coincidentally appeared just after I have spent a week by the sea with my son and family. I live alone and was slightly nervous of coping with, and keeping up with, the pace of a holiday with youngsters. Jess is 11, Daniel is 15. I needn’t have worried at all. I have had the most joyful time away, receiving loads of support and loving care and visiting gorgeous places with stunning scenery. The highlight of which was visiting The Donkey Sanctuary where we spent the whole day. The untiring and devoted work which goes on there is a lesson in care for our animals which is deeply moving. The whole place also has the most beautiful gardens which are lovingly tended too not to mention some delicious Broccoli and Cheddar Soup which I had for lunch.
I am so glad I SURRENDERED to the whole experience. I am home now and feel recharged and uplifted. Thank heavens for my family.
Ah, the synchronicity of the cards. I have been grappling with sensory peripheral neuropathy which has resulted in the loss of fine motor control, handwriting, typing, painting - all forms of creative expression using my hands. It has spread throughout my body. I have cycled through periods of irritation - that the specialists can’t find out what’s causing this and fix it, to acceptance and focus on what I can do and how I can do it. Letting go of control features in both these inspiring readings for this my birthday month. I was listening to a translation of the Tao Te Ching this morning and a similar sentiment was expressed - “ practice not doing and everything will fall into place.” So June is my month of relinquishing control and stepping into the expansiveness of freedom. Thank you Beth.
Gosh, now I’m realizing why Substack pulled us into each other’s orbits. I’ve used oracle cards a lot more the past few years and they help me have perspective and help me stay aligned with my true self.
I haven’t gotten a Rebecca Campbell Oracle deck yet but her writings resonate with me. Denise Linn’s work also resonates. I have an oracle deck of hers.
I’m just seeing this article today but it really resonates. February is on the mark already. I went for a hike with friends and saw a young bald eagle!
Five minutes after randomly reading this post Dec. 29 and closing my eyes to meditate on the word SURRENDER - beyond fitting, since I’d just said out loud to my family in the car, “I can’t do this anymore” - a bluebird collided into my passenger side windshield. 🙏 Needless to say, I got the wake up call, have honored the dear bird and my response with a new name for myself: Jovie, thinking of “J” if it was a Bluejay, but it was more likely a blue songbird here in the Blue Ridge Mountains (South and North Carolina, USA). I also act like ELF and love the power harnessed when Jovie finally trusts herself and the unseen. This is all new to me, so I sincerely appreciate any support. I actually lived in Japan for three years and am planning a trip (first time since 1998) with my daughter in April, so I would love to order Kokoro ASAP from you, Beth. Thank you again!
Hi Beth. I love this idea and I'm going to try it right now. I've already used a set of Oracle cards to choose an intention for each month of this year based on the 12 Celtic Omen days between Christmas and 6th January. I wonder what resources there will be between the reading and my intentions? I'm currently using Pippa Best's Sea Soul Journeys Oracle Cards at the moment, as I'm a bit of a sea swimmer and love the ocean.
I love this reading for the year and the word TRUST really resonates with me right now so thank you so much for this Beth. I use the Arin Murphy-Hiscock The Green Witch's deck but have also just treated myself to the Ancient Stones one too by Rebecca Campbell x
The word Trust resonated so with me and the guidance from the oracle deck! I will keep it close by to guide and encourage me and am looking forward to seeing how the other cards unfold. Thank you Beth, yet again you hit the spot just when it was needed!
I love how you explain what oracle cards mean to you and can’t agree more after the first cards I pulled yesterday. I resonate so much with the cards you’ve pulled up for the year. Thank you so much. I just received my first oracle deck from Romy Weser after following her this whole year and I’m so excited to work with this new tool!
It is new year day (morning) I just finished winter writing santuary for today. I'm going to do this card reading for the year today. I have Estelle Thomson Guide to a Magic life sacred symbology oracle deck.
Thank you for this. I am putting the words in my diary. I will now dig out my oracle cards; they must be somewhere among my belongings after moving countries twice in the last few years.
Thank you for this, Beth! I've written these messages in my plan book for the coming year and I'm excited to note the synchronicities that arise! ✨️ I need a new Oracle deck for the journey I am now on and I'm making it a priority to find one for myself in January. 🕯

I have just ordered a set of oracle cards from Sahara Rose. Thank you for the idea. I am excited to get started 💕
Does anyone know where the discussion will be held

Wonderful, enjoy!
I'm doing this today with tarot! Thanks for a great idea!

Me too! 🙌🏻❤️
I love this. Thanks for sharing. I've just done my own two readings using the tarot. So interesting!

Love this idea, especially how then each month you can revisit
