This Week's Oracle Deck Reading
A bolt of lightning is symbolic of power and destruction. The ancient myths that Romans, Greeks and other early civilizations worshipped lightning came from a belief in the spirit world. A handful of the gods relied on the power of the lightning bolt to threaten, scare or punish the mortals on Earth. One of the most powerful of Greek gods was Zeus, and his weapon of choice was the lightning bolt. The lightning bolt also has a deep, Biblical link to Lucifer.
​
Typically the symbolic meaning of lightning deals with instant and divine intervention. Lightning is a major message from a higher source, a message for the observer to wake up and pay attention to his or her surroundings.
​
When this card is drawn, it should be taken as a warning to do just that. Pay close attention to what creative or destructive forces are at work in your life and then handle them accordingly. If you choose to ignore the warning, lightning may very well strike.
​
Incantation: I’ve just been warned to be alert in order to remain unhurt. Show me what I need to see and let love and light envelop me.

Magickal Crystal: Opal
Opals were once known as ceraunia, or “thunder stones.” The brilliant play of color within precious opals flash like lightning across the sky. Meditate on opal for divine inspiration and enhanced perception.
