This Week's Oracle Deck Reading
The legendary Merlin the wizard, the sorcerer, and the magician, is one of the most fascinating figures in Welsh literature and Arthurian legend. He was a man of mystery and magic. Contradiction and controversy surrounded his life. He appeared as an old wise man, giving his wisdom to four successive British kings. He was known as the “wild man of the woods” during which time he learned to talk to the animals.
Merlin was reputed to be a mystical Druid, a Celtic priest, a man whose possessed the knowledge and secrets of the ancients, and was especially revered as a great prophet, but he also possessed human qualities that led to his eventual downfall.
The fact that we are, after all, only human, is the message that this can be derived from Merlin. Being the best we can be, following our hearts, and forgiving our stumbles along the way, is the key to peace of mind and tranquility.
Incantation: I call on Merlin's wisdom now. Being kind to myself, I must allow. I am not perfect and will never be, but I accept the missteps and that is the key.
Magical stone: Flint.
Flint occurs worldwide and innumerable flint artifacts and offerings have been unearthed in sacred sites, especially those in the British Isles. Flint is the stone of the magician. It takes you to the threshold between the worlds for magic and transformation. A humble but powerful stone, flint reminds you to own your own humanity and find the gifts that make you unique.
