Getting to Know the Page of Swords
The Page of Swords is talkative – asking many questions – mostly beginning with “Why?” Good reading and writing skills go with the questions. The Page seeks continually guidance. As the Page does this, they seem to be older than the child they are. Two things: The Page of Swords, as young as they are, likes truth and revenge.
It’s obvious that this Page is a Leader-in-Training. The tongue is sharp, the mind is quick, and the attitude is no-nonsense.
The Page of Swords seeks answers: “Where am I going?” as they explore reality. This attitude brings learning surprises, especially when it seems every person learns a lesson.
Never underestimate The Page of Swords. Two things stand out here: Honesty, and the ability to choose sides. These qualities can lead to scuffles.
Story
A Page of Swords isn’t always a boy. One of my favorites is a girl. She’s both curious and intelligent so she’s always seeking to study and think – study and think – study and think. Darwin is seeking answers.
Darwin is at the university again this semester. And, she’s signed up for the most challenging physics, mathematics class, and something else I can’t spell.
Darwin always loves animals and communicates with them. I tell people that Darwin was born knowing animal communication. Truthfully, she was born with many talents. Darwin is simply choosing the sciences at the university and the animals at the shelter.
Darwin is so adorable that I’m sure she’s going to be successful at a career when she decides to choose one. In the meantime – it’s question, think, and learn.
Darwin’s cause is the environment. Clear-thinking and dedicated to this cause, she knows how to take useful information and work hard to make it pay off. Darwin’s brain works hard for the cause all the while being charming, clever, and a good conversationalist.
Personally, I think we need more Darwin Page of Swords in the world today. They they mature, wonderful things can happen.

Story
When the young woman sat down at my table, I knew I was going to spend time with a special young soul.
“I’m here on vacation with my parents. We’re here for a few days, up from the City, and I’m curious about how things are coming my way this coming year.”
I found myself face-to-face with someone creative, enthusiastic, and experiencing opportunity. But mostly, I saw a youthful person who, for whatever reason, was exploring life as if there had been little yesterday. She’s obviously intelligent and a high achiever.
She hasn’t experienced much responsibility so her talents are developing by themselves as she goes along.
With her enthusiasm promises her future will have a positive cast to it. She’s on her way to take control of her situation but still has much to learn and discover. Meanwhile, she’s got a crush on life!
Life is filled with possibilities and inspiration!
Whew! What a refreshing reading!

With each exhale, you become more relaxed – more relaxed and at peace. Toxins and tensions release with each exhale.
You begin to experience a very peaceful feeling and deeper relaxation.
You open your eyes now and find yourself in a beautiful garden space. In the center of this small space you see a rug. You walk over to the rug and sit.
You get comfortable on this small rug. and notice that it is moving. The rug you are sitting on is lifting off and floating upward. You ride this carpet up above the trees and roof tops, gently gliding into the sky.
You find yourself floating with puffy clouds.
As you float upward you look down and see houses, trees, and buildings becoming smaller and smaller.
The sun warms your skin and your body.
You look around you and see the earth as a large blue ball.
As your carpet carries you upward you observe the outside world from a distance. You feel a new relaxation that you haven’t felt before. This is a deep feeling of belonging and interconnection among all living beings.
You do not feel isolated. Instead, you see yourself as an important part of the whole. You feel that this connection involves a contribution you are making to the world around you.
You are connected in a way you haven’t been aware of.
As you continue rising, you see the Earth as a ball of light. You are seeing something that you have never seen before.
You sense now that your carpet is slowly descending and returning toward earth.
You begin to see clouds and then mountain tops.
As you continue descending, you see the tops of trees and buildings. You see roads and the countryside.
Returning to the space where you began this trip, you feel you are returning relaxed, free, and prepared to embrace responsibilities and obligations.
You take a deep breath now and become aware that your body has been energized, rejuvenated, and energized.
You open your eyes now, Take a deep breath. Embrace your peace!

A New Beginning with Massive Potential
What Do You See?
Salamanders on the tunic are a symbol of unfinished things.
The light blue sky is the heavens – the divine realm
The desert – a new opportunity is coming from nothingness
Red plume on hat – burning for a cause
Wand – the large wand is a sign of youth
Pyramids – wisdom, science, mystery, and the gods
Hands – holding onto something
Yellow clothes – excitement
Getting to Know The Page of Wands
The Page of Wands is a messenger, out to enjoy life and begin something – maybe an adventure. There is massive potential here. Because everything is new and fresh, the new beginning gives them the energy to be eager and excited. Certainly, they are ready to commit to something – their first adventure maybe?
Inspiration accompanies potential. Strength and potential are limitless. Sometimes it helps to just breathe. Give them a chance to explore the different options available. Most important, allow them to dream! Cultivate creative energy. Be grateful for the simple joys in life and for the risks they’ve been lucky enough to experience. Say “yes” to opportunities. Important: The Page of Wands needs to find ways to control opportunities.
This is especially important when the Page’s wand appears to be alive.
Story
A Page of Wands sat down at my Tarot table in the coffee house late one winter afternoon. A petite young person, the Page had enough gorgeous hair for three people. The long, thick, curls attracted everyone’s attention as he walked in the room. And, frankly, I didn’t know whether I was looking at a young man or woman until I saw the neat little mustache. Certainly the thick, long, curls weren’t going to tell me.
“I think I’m at a crossroads and I want to know what might be a good way to go.” The different life paths he described were all “uptown” problems. It was obvious to me, this young Page manufactures opportunity every day of the work.
A student at an area University with grades “to die for”, his life was just beginning. As we discussed his options, it became clear that whatever he chooses to do, his path will be energetic, creative, and positive.
And, one thing is for sure: As he travels on his journey through his life, he will give us each a gift as he touches our lives. As he shares his free spirit, we will all have a good time.
Life Changing Rituals
Embrace the self-care of mindful attention as you focus and feel grateful for the simple joys of life.
Other times it’s better to dance or hike in the forest.
What sparks your creativity?
Meditatiion
Go to your private, safe space and get comfortable. Turn on healing music and light your favorite incense.
Remove your shoes. Keep your socks on if you prefer. Or, remove your socks if you want. Using your hands, massage your feet for 2-3 minutes There is no right or wrong way for this introduction.
The intention is to allow your feet to feel free and you want to improve the blood flow.
Now, rotate your feet in circles at your ankles. Hold your feet in your hands and rotate them.
Allow your breathing to relax and become slower.
Now, stretch your feet in all directions.
Move your toes to the left and right. Move your toes up and down.
Stretch your feet in all directions.
Continue with your relaxing breaths and pay attention to the muscles and tendons in your feet.
Begin at your ankles and comfortably massage your muscles and tendons down toward your toes.
Loosen any tight places you find.
Turning your attention to the soles of your feet, massage them with a circular motion.
If your feet feel ticklish, this is a signal to apply deeper pressure.
Run your fingers and thumbs up and down the soles of your feet.
Tune into your feet now. Notice any thoughts, feelings, and sensations you experience.
Now, move your attention to the top of your feet and calmly massage them. The idea is to relax and loosen the muscles, tendons, and joints on the tops of your feet beginning at your ankles.
Tune into your feet now. What sensations do you experience in your feet?
It is time to put your shoes on now. Take a moment to thank your feet for all the places they take you every day.
Send gratitude to your feet.
Pause now to breathe slowly and deeply.
Return to your day now, knowing that you can return to this relaxing foot massage any time you want.
