So I made the decision that I would pour me a glass of premium red wine and sit out in my backyard and wait silently for answers as I drank the beverage. I noticed the wine bottle had a devil image on it. Hmmm taking note of this, I poured my glass then headed for the outdoors. Once the wine was finished, I'd come back in and take a look at my notes. Here's what I got...
I must say that I did my very best NOT to look up at the clouds or into my wine glass as I feel that would be cheating. As you might know, these are two forms of scrying that I'm very comfortable with but I wanted to go by nature for clues.
In the distance I heard someone rolling out their trash can to the curb for Tuesday morning trash service.
First sip of wine
Child on a skateboard/razor
Birds
Mixing Bowl in the distance
Felt a chill
The hidden winged creature
Okay, so something I find very interesting about this evening's exercise was the lack of animals or insects scurrying about. Normally in the evening, there are squirrels flying through the trees, dogs barking, butterflies and dragon flies hovering about etc, etc. Strangely, not today. Something mysterious at the end does make an appearance but we'll discuss that later.
So we have the neighbor in the distance rolling out the large trash can for the trash service to pick up in the morning. I get the feeling that before you can discover your hidden potential, you must "take out the trash" first. Release any negativity or impurities or blocks that could be keeping you from your highest potential. Whatever it is that's weighing you down and making messes of your life needs to be omitted. Or... Maybe what you will come to realize is that you'll be assisting others remove the "trash" from their lives in some way. Thinking of the devil image that felt very intense as I poured the wine, this makes me wonder if you'll help others remove the "chains" that this image conveys.
Next something I took note of was when I took the first sip of wine and how pleasurable it felt right about the time I heard the child in the background on the skateboard. Your potential has to do with something that's fun and pleasurable. This could be anything from something you experienced in your childhood to something sexual as the feeling is about passion and fun. Yep, I love my wine collection and the fact that I was drinking red means something passionate by nature. Note the devil image on the wine bottle.. I am borrowing the tarot image from the card. This feels like it ties in.
Bird. If you study the Lenormands at all, you'll know that BIRDS are about communications. Perhaps this speaks of you communicating or demonstrating this fun passion. Maybe even HOW to. This to me speaks of you communicating with others that involves this passion.
Mixing bowl. In the distance I heard the clinking and clanking of a bowl and spoon. Someone is making something. You perhaps are to prepare or make some kind of a pleasure potion that you'll be communicating to others about?
Then I felt cold. Maybe this is for the frigid people out there? Perhaps you will come up with something to help others warm up to or over come their "passions" in some way.
Then I saw it... from the corner of my eye. A winged creature. What was it? A humming bird or large dragon fly? A faerie??? It flew up into my tall Orange Honeysuckle bush and sat there for 10 minutes. I was trying to wait this thing out but it wouldn't move! Finally, my glass had emptied and it was time to go in but still this flying thing about the size of a humming bird would not move and was very well hidden within the branches and foliage of the bush. But I could still see the outline. The second I stood up, it flew off sideways which I thought was quite odd. What was it???
My feelings here is this hidden potential may remain hidden for awhile but that's okay.. It is present but you may not be able to decipher it just yet. You now know the recipe to it but it will be up to you to form the outcome.
Perhaps you'll help frigid people warm up and come out of their shell by communications. Or maybe you'll teach them how to overcome addictions to certain pleasures. To chill them out in a way. Or, maybe this involves children and how to help them overcome their demons and enjoy themselves in some way. Or perhaps you'll someday develop an aphrodisiac that will help others break through the chains of oppression and enjoy pleasure better. Whatever it is, for sure you'll be making the world a better place for someone.
Thanks for sitting. This was a really fun exercise!
