Daily Reading for Tuesday, 2 February, Year 10 Aq.

Tuesday February 2

Here is today’s reading:

Four of Swords
Hierophant*
Page of Coins

Our first card today is the Four of Swords, which represents a period of waiting or inactivity, in which nothing seems to move or progress. Often this waiting period offers us a needed change to rest, regroup, or rejuvenate ourselves, rebuilding our energies for the future. We also have the Hierophant, which represents spiritual guidance or the use of spiritual techniques such as meditation or divination. Finally we have the Page of Coins, which indicates a slow but steady growth in situations. Altogether these three cards suggest that this is a good day to rest and regroup, to be patient while situations take the time they need to develop, and to focus instead on spiritual needs and spiritual techniques that can help to rejuvenate our energies –a good day for meditation, for spiritual cleansing, charka balancing, soul retrieval, or any activity that brings you spiritual renewal.

A good stone for today would be Carnelian, a stone that strengthens personal energy, promotes courage and focus.

Today is the birthday of Rt. Rev. Virginia Leigh Smith, better known as “Lady Bitterwind”, First Elder of the Correllian Tradition. Lady Bitterwind was born Virginia Daw, daughter of Harry Daw –a collection of whose philosophical writings she published through the Wheel of Hekate magazine in the 1980s. Lady Bitterwind was married for many years to restaurateur Jim Smith, and together they owned and operated the Phoenix restaurant in Danville, Illinois. Lady Bitterwind became associated with the Correllian Tradition through the Dancers of Shakti Temple in 1976, and became an adopted member of the High-Correll family in 1983. In 1988 Lady Bitterwind became First Elder of the Correllian Tradition, succeeding Gloria High Correll who had died in 1987. Lady Bitterwind is also well known as an artist. For many years Lady Bitterwind’s black and white illustrations appeared in underground science fiction fanzines as well as metaphysical magazines. In the 1990s Lady Bitterwind became enamored of three-dimensional artwork, working with “found items” to create sculptures and magical tools. Lady Bitterwind is enthusiastic about this form of artwork both as a kind or recycling and also as representing the fundamental nature of life, which constantly orders and reorders itself, creating new forms in the process. The cycles of life, including the cycle of the seasons, the cycle of life and death, and the cycle of predator and prey, are the primary themes of Lady Bitterwind’s art. Happy birthday Bitterwind!
