Me pleaseđ I would be glad to volunteer :)
Message from a Goddess Reading
I began by lighting incense and offering it to the goddesses of the deck. I then invited a goddess who had a message for you to speak, and pulled these cards:
1) What is the message and who is it from? âHealing lies in prevention. Treat your body with respect.â from Hygeia
2-4) Obstacles surrounding this message? Page of Wands reversed, 7 of Pentacles reversed, 3 of Swords reversed
5) How can you overcome these obstacles? The Hermit reversed
6) Outcome if you follow through? 3 of Pentacles upright
Hygeia (or Hygieia) is a Greek goddess and the personification of health, cleanliness, and hygiene. While her father Asclepius was associated with healing, Hygeia was associated with the prevention of sickness and the up-keeping of health. Her name is how we get the word âhygieneâ today.
Her message for you is about your health, but in particular the upkeep of your health. She asks if you are treating your body with respect? Are you taking care of your health before it becomes a problem? If you already are, fantastic! Take this as a sign that you should continue. But if you are forgetting to eat meals or not getting enough sleep⊠this message is a wake-up call that your health is important.
The obstacles surrounding this message are Page of Wands reversed, 7 of Pentacles reversed, and 3 of Swords reversed.
Page of Wands reversed hints that you are in a rush to get things done. Maybe you feel like time is against you, and you donât have time to eat a proper meal or time to get enough sleep, or time to see a doctor.
7 of Pentacles reversed hints at another factor: money. It may be costly for you to see a doctor, or to eat properly, or to even get a good nightâs sleep. Money is working against you.
Last obstacle is the 3 of Swords reversed: confusion, anxiety, disorder. Maybe the things you need to do to take care of your health and body make you anxious? (I know seeing a doctor makes me anxious, even if I have time and money!) This card may also be indicating that your life is such a mess that you wouldnât know where to begin to address your health.
Thatâs a lot of obstacles. One way to overcome them is Hermit reversed. Sometimes self-care can take the form of socializing. Go out with a loved one for dinner. Get yourself out of your head. And start to address unfinished business. Even if the unfinished business doesnât seem to relate to your health, itâll lessen the burden it has on you â which reduces stress, and thus will improve your health.
I want to mention that it seems like The Hermit reversed doesnât directly address those obstacles head-on. Instead, the Hermit reversed is asking for you to take little steps towards improving your health. The Hermit is very much about the mind, so improving your state of mind is a way to improve your health without money or time to get in your way.
Following the advice of the Hermit, you can expect the 3 of Pentacles: achievement through skill. You will start to learn the skills to take care of yourself, and from that you will start to notice improvements in your health and body. The universe may even reward you with material success in addition to your physical success.
Thank you again for volunteering for this! I await your feedback!
