A May 1st Card Reading

Wanting to share a message for both those celebrating Beltaine
And those celebrating Samhain,
I asked Spirit for some guidance.
Two cards, one for Beltaine -
One for Samhain.
So I choose.  One at a time.
The first for those celebrating Beltaine:

10 of Pentacles

A culmination.  Abundance.
Reaping the rewards of hard work.
For some a time to celebrate,
For others, A time to sit back, reflect & access
one's goals and accomplishments.
But there's more here..
As I looked at the card,
The Godfather flashed in My mind.
There was the image of the aged Vito Corleone,

sitting  outdoors in his chair.  Surrounded by the land.
All his work, good and bad has reached it's pinnacle.
He sits back, takes time for pleasure.  For family.  His young
grandson runs around playfully.  Then Vito expires.

Sometimes Spirit delivers the message with a touch of humor.
10 of pentacles is a culmination.  It is a time sit back & take pleasure
in what we've accomplished. 
We must also be ready to move on. It is time to say goodbye to
the old.  There are fresh new projects, ideas,

waiting just around that corner.  Life comes & goes in cycles.
We must embrace them.

Then I pulled a card for Samhain:

The endless dance of Death!

 A little tongue in cheek, but I should expect this.
Spirit has a sense of humor, when delivering a message.
Samhain.  The dark half of the year.  The earth slumbers.
Oh but look at the activity going on away from our sight.
Life is sometimes a struggle.  There may be difficulties,
lean times.  But there will be fabulous moments.  It is up
to Us to learn how to manuever.  To get through the hard times,
We must work with what we have, not fight against it.
We need to take time out to honor those who have come before -
Their blood, sweat, bones have created the foundation We have
today.
Life comes in cycles. We can not change that fact.  We must
learn to dance with life. The Good, the not so...
Embrace life.  May Your dance be a joyful one.

Blessings!
