I am back safe and sound from traveling back from MWFF. It was an amazingly fun and chaotic time, as every year, and I am looking forward to working through all of the great art ordered! And now, here is the Weekly Spiritual Reading!

Today's External Card features Primates. This Spirit Guide consists of a wide variety of animals within the umbrella term of Primate. Oftentimes, this can mean that this week includes a large portion of interaction with those around you. Communication in both verbal and physical uses will be important this week. You may be called on to work in a group with cooperation and compromise. When primate certain guides such as Orangutan show up, this can mean that this week includes focusing on relationships with others such as with your mother in ways such as enhancing your attention to what you see rather than just what you hear. Your surroundings will have opportunities for manifestation and it will be up to you to take advantage of the creative ways you can utilize these opportunities. If Gibbon shows up, this can be a sign to shake things up in the mornings by adding music. Whistling, singing, or any sort of vocal, musical element to your mornings to shake things up. This week could include additional time in nature or playful, lighthearted time with friends or family. This week's environment is ripe with opportunities to analyze how you fit in your social life and what you can do to act better for yourself as well as for those around you. Overall, this week will remind you to stop getting stuck in the same patterns. Open your mind to new perspectives in order to learn how to better communicate and grow.


This week's Rune is Gebo! Symbolized by the crossing of two forces, this Rune looks at the interaction between the divine and the mortal. Gebo represents this connection, exchange, as well as balance and a sign of a gift! When we interact with others, it will always result in some sort of consequence. In the best of interactions, this is a gift and a positive result. Gebo particularly represents the gift we find in connecting with the divine. Always remember to think of it as a gift given with the understanding and intent of returning a gift. This ensures a balance mentally and physically. Gebo represents not only the cross over of human and divine, but the connection between lovers, a contract, or a partnership. Call upon Gebo this week in order to become more attuned with streams of energy, the power of balanced relationships, and the union of the Goddess and God. This week, remember to give as much as you receive. This is also represented by the barter system where one exchanges fair items or money so that both parties are pleased. It is also seen in the connection of two lovers. Let this week show you are giving can be a gift and allow yourself to connect with those around you in romantic, platonic, and business-like ways.

This week's Internal Influence is the Reversed Spirit Guide Opossum! When this guide normally appears, it indicates a time in which you must play close attention to your instincts in order to get out of any rough situation. That you may need to act contrary to your nature in order to deal with a situation. However, when we see a Reversed card for the Opossum, it brings a week of open possibilities for growth and creative expression. Don't get wrapped up in looks or others opinions. Listen to both your mind and heart as to which path to take this week. Whatever you choose, things will be moving quickly. Be flexible and pay attention to your goals. However, know that this is not a stressful sign. Dive into your creative and joyful hobbies and add this joy to your work. Be proud of who you are and the struggles you have gone through in order to be who you are. You are beautiful!
