Angel Paths for October 18 - Two of Wands

The Two of
Wands
The Lord of Dominion is an important card when
we consider our personal freedom of choice, for
it relates to the way in which we live in
accordance with our own Will, and the consequent
results of this.
The card indicates that we are in charge of the
way that our lives are unfolding, and that this
happens in the fashion we had anticipated. It
does not rule out the occasional nice surprise,
nor obstacle, but it does promise us that we are
in a state of mind which allows us to fulfil our
needs and chase our destiny.
There's harmony and contentment when we manage
to achieve this position in life. Events take
place in an ordered and positive fashion. Things
unfold around us the way that we want them to.
Everything goes according to plan.
In fact, this is probably a natural state for a
healthy human being. The fact that we have to
struggle so hard to achieve it, and then
maintain it, is more a comment on the type of
life we lead, than anything else.
When we can bring ourselves in harmony with the
forces of our Universe, achieving our dreams
becomes far more possible than at any other
time. We attain harmony when we are centred and
at ease with ourselves.
Careful planning is always important when this
card comes up - again there is a need to order
our future so that we know where we're headed.
And it's also important to reconcile any
uncertainty or confusion generated within us.
Both of these actions will ensure that nothing
interferes with the flow of our own Will out
into the Universe.
On very rare occasions this card will come up
with others like the Star, or the Priestess, to
indicate periods of huge spiritual breakthrough.
Make the best of them when they arrive!!
Working with the Two of Wands
The Lord of
Dominion is a card about mastery - of life and
of ourselves. It indicates the ability to follow
through on our personal destiny, to make our
dreams into reality, and to realise our
strongest desires.
Dominion is a word not much used these days -
and therefore sometimes misunderstood. It means
'rulership'.....and has almost nothing to do
with domination, even though each of them comes
from the same root - domain. In the context of
the Tarot, we are relating to our personal
domain or territory as our own lives, and our
potentials.
This card has a great deal to do with the
application of the True Will. We all have one of
these, whether we have worked to discover and
understand it or not. One thing that many people
don't understand is the fact that the Will
functions at all times, in every second of
existence. Every thought, concept, hope, dream,
whether positive or negative, creates a piece of
our upcoming reality.
This is one reason why we have, in the Working
With commentaries, concentrated very hard on
looking at what we think and feel, how we see
ourselves, and how we relate to life. Because,
with every thought you think, your Will operates
to bring that thought into existence. So if you
happen to be thinking negatively and unhappily,
your Will trots off and makes a little bit more
negativity and unhappiness for you.
The Lord of Dominion gives us power over our
thoughts, by asking us to take responsibility
for the future we are making for ourselves. We
must do this by observing (without judgement nor
self-recrimination) our thought patterns. And
then we must consider where those thought
patterns are leading us. And if we don't like
the look of the future - well, we have the
opportunity to change it before it's too late!!
Part of your domain is what you think. So on a
day ruled by the Lord of Dominion, check out
your thoughts on a regular basis. And if you
aren't happy....do the affirmation!! And then
decide what you want to invite into your domain
which is positive and constructive and
rewarding. Then think about that!!
On this day, make no easy compromises. Cut
straight to the heart of your desires and needs.
Discard any thoughts which get in the way of you
getting what you want. Make every action and
choice a deliberate attempt to get closer to
your goal. And enjoy!!
Affirmation: My Will flows effortlessly in
perfect acts of creation.
