We had been forewarned that Wetherspoons is busy on a Thursday night, and this proved to be true. As the night progressed and people around us had more to drink (isn't it weird how people get really loud when they're a bit tipsy?), the noise levels made it difficult to hear what people were saying, but we managed to get to know each other quite well, and establish some common ground with regards to the reason and aims for the group.
Everyone seemed interested in learning more about 'green living' and being in harmony with nature, so this is definitely an area we'll explore in months to come.
Other ideas for future talks/information sharing were relaxation&meditation and psychic development.
We decided to explore meeting at the Black Lion on Finkle Street in Richmond for our next gathering on the 7th of May. The theme for May will be the Tarot as a tool for personal/spiritual development. More information will be posted her soon about the next meeting.
We rounded the evening off by doing the 'Crossing the River' tarot spread (see picture above).
Card 1 represents where we are now - Strength: As a group, we are ready to follow the calling of our higher selves and tame the ego with love so that unity consciousness can permeate all that we do.
Card 2 represents where we want to be - Ace of Pentacles: We long to plant a seed of something new that will manifest in physical reality. This seed will blossom into ways of living that do not harm our planet and that encourage complete embodiment of spirit in our physical bodies.
Card 3 represents the river we need to cross (the challenge) - Ace of Wands: The influx of spiritual energy that inspired us to get together can be difficult to channel into manifest reality.
Card 4 represents the bridge - The World: We cross the river by contributing with our talents in awareness of our own individual limitations, as well as a wholehearted appreciation for how each of us have a much needed gift that can be used to create unity, harmony and increased understanding.
The actual layout for the cards in this spread is:
******4****** (card 4 crosses card 3)
**1***3***2**
Bright blessings,
Lisa
I'm glad you had a good meeting and I'm sorry I missed it. Richmond isjust too far for an evening in a working week. Might be able to make it in the summer, though. x
