GODDESS ORACLE

FRICKA-Goddess of Sovereignty

(Destiny, marriage and motherhood.)

Also known as Frigga, this ruling goddess was married to Odin, the most dominant God of the Norse
pantheon. Fricka's vast domain encompassed love, marriage, motherhood and destiny. She is known
for her talents of a spinner of golden threads, which some believe symbolized the creation of sunlight.
It also suggests Fricka's ability to spin the future; in ancient times, many thought that the art of
weaving imitated the creation of fate. In the PROSE EDDA, a collection of myths from thirteenth century
Iceland, Fricka was acknowledged as "foremost among the goddesses."

"You can be foremost among women, take aim to reach your goals."

GODDESS ORACLE

IDUNA--Immortality, youth, beauty "Keeper of apples"

The goddess Iduna was renowned for her youthful beauty and was married to Bragi, the handsome god of poetry. She was responsible for growing the "golden" apples of immortality in her enchanted western
garden named Appleland; in the stories of King Arthur, Appleland was called Avalon--the idyllic country
of immortal life. As keeper of the Golden Apples, the goddess was responsible for the well being of
the Norse pantheon. The Norse people considered apples essential for the continuation of life. Associated with the resurrection, containers of these sacred fruit were placed in graves, perhaps to nurture mortals as they journeyed from one life to another. The Norse also believed that a soul could be passed from body to body, contained within the flesh of a apple. This suggests the way we share information--by sharing the fruits of our labors. "Grow a garden and share its fruits."

TAROT CARD OF THE DAY (Pagan Cats)

10 OF WANDS

"Carrying a large burden, or many burdens"

AECLECTIC TAROT MEANINGS FOR 10 OF WANDS

A man carries ten heavy wands, trying to keep them together, bowed over by their weight. The image on this card implies that the Querent has complete control of all the many things he wanted control over. He is the leader, the boss. But this means that all the burdens are his as well.

The qualities of Wands--passions, temper, creativity, energy, spirit, ambition-need some restrictions, as in the eight of wands, to make them faster and more efficient. When they become too restricted, however, or given so many tasks that the energy is parceled out into many portions, then nothing can thrive. All the energy can do, at best, is maintain itself. We often see this in life. Someone comes up with a great idea and starts a movement. The movement has energy, drive and creativity. It grows and thrives. Then it becomes hugely popular, which we might think is a good thing, but turns out to be the ruin of it. It gets weighed down by bureaucracy, rules, legalities. Likewise with a small business that gets too corporate, or a family where mom, dad and kids sign themselves up for too many activities. All energy goes into maintaining a status quo rather than allowing or fostering change and innovation. This, alas, is where Wands comes to if it goes all the way around to that final turn. The message of the card is rather like that old saying, "it used to be about the music!" Too much success or achievement can make you lose sight of your passion for something. Especially if that success requires you to manage a cumbersome music empire rather than just playing the music. When this card shows up, it's time to let the querent know that they're weighed down by too many responsibilities. This is the Nine of Pentacles plus one. They've not only weighed down their body, but their spirit. They need to scale back or delegate authority. Most of all, they need to remember why they wanted to do this in the first place. They need to rediscover their passion for the thing rather than be burdened by it.

GWENHYWFAR--First Lady of Wales.

In Wales, white water waves are called the "Sheep of the mermaid." That mermaid is the goddess Gwenhyfar, who was honored as the first lady of the welsh islands and sea. Some identify Gwenhyfar as the daughter of the first welsh bard, the giant Ogyrvan. in Germany she is called Cuneware, which means "female wisdom". But today most people recognize "Gwenhyfar" as Queen Guinevere, the unhappy consort of King Arthur. Since Gwenhyfar symbolizes the throne of Wales, no king was able to rule without her by his side. It is little wonder that many would be kings attempted to abduct her. They did not understand that it was Gwenhyfar's power that made them sovereign, not some forced romantic involvement. many of these myths worked their way into the Arthurian legend.
