Magical Nature Tarot

Guiding words/ideas:

Feeling misunderstood; you are part of the intricate web of the universe; take strength from this and then take action; allow your magic to flow; your uniqueness and power are needed; do not get distracted by others; self actualization.

Channeled guidance:

There’s powerful layering and depth in this card. It is full of swirling action. On the top layer is a human with wands in hand, looking down, focused, and serious.

At times it may feel as if the world, your community, or your systems are working against you. You may feel maligned, misunderstood, and powerless. But you are part of this universe’s intricate web, a key piece of how things come together, come apart, and come together again. Take strength from this knowledge. And then take action. With wands and hands, allow your magic to flow out and spin gold in a way that only you can facilitate. Your powers are indeed special and needed.

This card is also a reminder of micro and macro. What may seem large and unruly also exists within you. And what seems huge and glorious also exists within you. You are the universe, and the universe is you.

So forge ahead in your own unique and necessary way. Dance your dance. Sing your song. Dream your dream. And flirt with this idea of self-actualization. You are a co-creator of your own experience. Do not get overly distracted or sidetracked by the comments and misunderstandings of others. You are understood by the universe, and your particular brilliance is very needed.

Plant and metal guidance:

Pokeberry (pink layer): Our energy is fast and strong. You need only a small amount to revitalize and cleanse. Too much will overload your systems.

Chokeberry (dark purple swirling lines in background and on skirt): Our energy expands and contracts as needed, and we encourage you to do the same. We offer a rich balm for your wounds and a burst of energy to be used when you need it.

Coreopsis (burst of flame/yellow behind head): We are here to smooth out any sharp edges and to aid in opening hearts.

Copper oxide over goldenrod (green shirt, green background of skirt): I magnify the properties of whatever plants I touch or impact.

Note from Jorie:

When I transcribed this channeled sentiment, “You are the universe and the universe is you,” it sounded like a direct quote. I investigated, and it is closest to a quote by Alan Watts, “You and the universe are one.”
