Have you ever followed someone on social media and just knew you'd love to be best buds with her in person? For me, that's Arwen Lynch Poe. I had the pleasure of meeting her, face to face, this year in Portland, Oregon at the Northwest Tarot Symposium. She is exactly how she seems on her youtube channel -- beaming with wisdom, wit, love, and joy.
So, I was thrilled when she agreed to be my feature for August's chapter of #TarotLife, which is a way of taking note of tarot's meanings in our day to day and associating tarot into our favorite stories, songs, quotes, and affirmations.
In asking Arwen to share a slice of her Tarot Life, here's her dish...
Tarot Card:
The Magician for me.
Memory:
I've believed in Magic for a long time. There are so many stories about how it has manifested in my life. I could go on forever, I'm sure. :D But I won't. Instead, I'll tell you about a time I needed a job. I needed that job like nobody's business (pun intended). I knew about magic and about Magic and even Magick. But I'd not done a working like this before. I put my whole heart and soul into that spell. I saw a statue come to life to offer me words of comfort rather than wisdom. Based on one piece of advice that I received from that spell working, I sent an email to a company I was very much NOT qualified for. And yet, they offered me an interview. Then they offered me the job. It was a dream job for me that ended up being part of the DotCom Crash of the 90's. Ah well! I'm still friends with many from that little start-up that crashed so hard. And that taught me that when you say, "I will"...you actually can.
Song:
It's, I believe, a one hit wonder. The group is Pilot and the title I know it by is "Oh ho ho it's magic, you know Never believe, it's not so" This is one of my all-time worst ear worms which means I'll be humming this song for days.
Quote:
The quote for me that matches this card is often misattributed to others like Einstein but it is by Sir Arthur C. Clarke quote, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Affirmation:
I am magic and will. My intent creates my perfect life.
Can't you just feel the magic!
Thanks so much, Arwen, for playing along.
