Tarot Tuesday: The Page of Cups

Every Tuesday, my friend Joy Andreason provides "Tarot Tuesday" to give you some insight

into tarot cards. Today's Card is the Page of Cups.
Joy says:  Youthful energy is prominent today. There is a sense of young love, and all of the emotional intensity that goes along with that. You may be around the energy that feels silly and warm and giggly all at the same time. Enjoy the moment while it lasts. The ending is undetermined.
  
POSITION OF THE CARD (from Biddytarot.com):
Upright: Creative opportunities, intuitive messages, curiosity, possibility
Reversed: New ideas, doubting intuition, creative blocks, emotional immaturity

CARD DESCRIPTION: The Page of Cups wears a blue tunic with a floral print and a beret on his head with a long, flowing scarf. He stands on the shore, with the wavy sea behind him, holding a cup in his right hand. Surprisingly, a fish pops its head out of the cup and looks at the young man. The fish and the sea behind him represent the element of water and all things to do with creativity, intuition, feelings and emotions. The unexpected appearance of the fish signifies that creative inspiration often comes out of the blue and only when you are open to it.

Part 11: Haunted Devon, U.K.: White lady of the Water

My latest book is called "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" (by Rob Gutro) and conveys

all of the ghosts I met as I traveled throughout England. There are a LOT more ghosts in England that I  did not (yet) meet, and here is the eleventh of several postings from Devonlive in Devon, U.K about some of them.. - Rob

Old Kitty lured to her death by famous White Lady waterfall

Kit’s Steps at Lydford are said to have been named after a woman called 'Old Kitty' who had slipped and fallen to death as she returned home one day.

Legend holds the 'White lady of the Water' had lured her to jump in, and some local residents used to say they often felt the same call. Other tales say Kitty had tried to jump her horse across the water but it fell and they both plummeted to a sudden death.

Tarot Tuesday: King of Swords (and a Tarot Class in No. VA with Joy Andreasen)

Every Tuesday, my friend Joy Andreason provides "Tarot Tuesday" to give you some insight into tarot cards. Today's Card is the King of Swords.

Joy says:   If you are a man, today is a day to think about your words and how they affect those around you. Know that your words hold power and are taken to heart. If you are a woman, your communication with a man may prove to be important today. The power of life or death is in the tongue. .
 
SPECIAL CLASS: If you would like to learn about Tarot cards, Joy Andreasen of Whispers of Joy is holding a class on April 7th at 1pm in Winchester, VA https://www.facebook.com/events/269830610569111/

POSITION OF THE CARD (from Biddytarot.com):
Upright: Mental clarity, intellectual power, authority, truth.
Reversed: Quiet power, inner truth, misuse of power, manipulation.


CARD DESCRIPTION: The King of Swords sits upon his throne, facing forward as if ready to confront whatever life throws at him. He holds a sword in his right hand, the hand of the conscious, rational mind, and points it upright and to the left, the side of the subconscious, intuitive mind. This symbolizes the King’s decisiveness, but also flexibility in all matters; while he makes decisions based mostly on his intellectual understanding, he stays open to his intuition. The King wears a blue tunic, symbolic of a desire for spiritual knowledge, and a purple cape, symbolic of his compassion and intellect. The back of his throne is decorated with butterflies (transformation), crescent moons and an angel just near his left ear, positioned as if to give him subtle guidance.
   The trees behind him stand still, and the clouds have settled. The wind from the previous Swords court cards has died down, giving the impression of stability and clarity rather than the confusion of sweeping change.

Reader Recommendation for Pets and the Afterlife

I enjoy hearing from people who have read my "Pets and the Afterlife or Pets and the Afterlife 2 books, and this note posted on my Facebook page, made my day: 

Melynda Antoinette - I am so glad I read this!! I recommend to anyone who has lost a fur baby. Truly. It gave me peace, understanding, and ultimately the ability to physically let go of my first pet. He is definitely with me in spirit and guiding his buddy and our new 4month old kitten brothers ❤💫

ABOUT THE BOOK: Pets and the Afterlife by Rob Gutro
To a pet parent, to lose a pet means to lose a child. The love we share with our pets never dies, and the author proves our pets do communicate with us from the other side. Learn how dogs, cats, horses and some birds have the intelligence and ability to send signs to the living after they pass. Take comfort in knowing our pets are around us from time to time and recognize the signs they give. Learn how they wait for us when it’s our time, what a pet’s ashes can do, and the difference between ghosts and spirits. Learn how and why living pets can sense entities. Follow one of the author's dogs on a ghost investigation. Read how spirits of the author’s 2 dogs and dogs from three other mediums communicated with them from the other side.

How Sheepstor villagers hung a man for bringing cholera

In 1832, a group of cottagers died after cholera came into their family in a strange fashion. When a wealthy merchant and his family died of the disease in Plymouth, two thieves raided their home in search of valuables.

On the run from police, one fled to Sheepstor, posing as a wealthy man in order to gain shelter with a family. Cholera spread to the family and the people of Sheepstor hunted down and hung the thief for bringing sickness to their village.
