About this time of year, I do a card reading to assess the energy and soul themes for the year ahead.
It’s a guidance system that I find very helpful and gives me overall energetic and soul themes that are meant to give spiritual guidance on what can be useful tools and insights to assist your spiritual journey. I choose from a certain number of decks and choose a certain amount of cards per month and for the overall year. I then spend time deciphering the messages and tuning in to see how they all weave together and what they’re trying to convey.
Today I’ll share the overall summary for 2024 and will soon share the monthly summaries.
So without further ado, here we go.
2024 Energy & Soul Themes
A Summary
This year will demand that you know who you are and that you step into that powerful knowing. So buckle up folks, you need to catch up with yourself because you are further along this journey than you realise. Those old stories and identities need to go.
If that means doing the work to tend to your trauma or nervous system then get to it. If that means using your voice, then do it.
Make sure you pull from your Medicine Bag of goodies so that you can navigate this time.
Maybe you’ve been hiding your light and you’re ready to show up and let the world see who you are. Maybe it’s time to tend to yourself and look at that wound that has you wanting to distract and deny its existence.
Whatever it is, you are being called to take courage and go for it. Keep following what you love.
Aditi of Hathor showed up in this overall reading - there are hidden blessings in whatever you are experiencing. It’s time to dedicate yourself to what you love, now. No more being scattered by this and that, it’s time to choose.
This is an important part of this shift in humanity as we shift through from a culture of suppression and dysfunctional power dynamics and return to the truth of what we are.
Following what you love is going to put you back into a relationship of Trusting Yourself which is so important on this next stage of your path. There’s plenty to learn and do in this world but what is true for you?
Get clear on that because scattered energies just weaken the spirit and disperse your energy. It often then creates procrastination and overwhelm as there just seems too much to do. Have an energetic clear-up on your focus and attention.
What is for you and what isn’t? Drop what’s ready to go for compost.
Vetiver is going to be the overall plant ally for this year, a lot is up in the air and there will be confusion as many lose their minds. Anchor in your beliefs, walk your talk, and stop hiding on the sidelines. His medicine is both restorative and stabilising. I’ve always referred to him as liquid valium, when I smell him, I’m automatically drawn back down into my grounded roots and feel the familiar embrace of safety and rootedness.
Raven is the animal ally - Raven is all about Magic - he’s come up reversed in this reading which means look at how you’ve been using your energy, how are you sending it out? If you’ve been using it blindly to hurt another, watch out, it’ll come to show you how that feels.
Sharing your gifts requires discernment and using energy wisely is important. If you’ve got stuck in a rut, Raven is telling you to get unstuck and out of your comfort zone.
The 2024 Goddess is Amaterasu and I love that she showed up in this overall reading, she is known as the Goddess of Light, and guess what the biggest, most energetic cosmic ray was discovered in 2021 and it has more energy than the Large Hadron Collider at CERN! She reminds you that if you’ve been in the hiding or restoration phase, it’s time to come out, share your light, and let yourself see the light in others. No more hiding!
There is a reminder here that you are never alone, your first Mother is always listening, always holding you so deepen into your communion with Mother Earth. She is listening. Breathe in her energies and send your love back down into her - this creates a sacred, loving relationship full of giving and receiving. If you’ve felt separate, disconnected, or alone this is your call to come home and receive Her love. See where you’ve shut yourself off and gently prise open the gateways and let the love in. Ask her questions and for her guidance, ask her to help you when you can’t manage, and speak to her like you would a person. Build that relationship and listen.
Get clear on your intentions for this year, why are you doing what you’re doing? Get honest with yourself and drop anything that is done for approval or attention, come back to your heartfelt dreams and desires, what lights you up? Notice where the mind wants to talk you out of it, diminish you, or judge. Let that place receive your love, for that is what it needs, it is scared and the more love you can give to these places that try to deny your soul’s journey the places you need softening. This sense of duality and separation is here to be united, try and zoom out of your current state and see the whole, that is part of your Medicine for this year. Stepping back, assessing, and understanding the bigger picture instead of being consumed by the mindfuckery and emotional rollercoaster the thoughts take you on. Say no to anything that creates distortion and suffering, they are not welcome anymore. Those patterns that diminish you, that make you less than others.
You are a child of the Earth, of the Divine and as soon as you can see your beauty and light you will be able to weep with relief at returning to love.
