Metaphysical Mom's Musings

Morning Quiet Time
Journey of Insight and Alignment

Welcome to my sacred space, where I blend metaphysical tools, nature’s wisdom, and spiritual truths to navigate life’s mysteries. This morning’s quiet time unfolded as a powerful tapestry of guidance—tarot cards, animal wisdom, and Scripture wove together to reveal a path of reflection, correction, and hope. Here’s what emerged.

Tarot Reading: Past, Present, and Future

• Past: III of Wands
  The Three of Wands signifies progress—a plan set into motion, its roots beginning to bear fruit. Looking back, I see the steps I’ve taken aligning with intention, a foundation laid with purpose and vision. It’s a reminder that where I stand today is built on yesterday’s courage to dream and act.
• Present: King of Swords
  In the now, the King of Swords steps forward—stern, logical, and authoritative. This energy calls me to wield intellectual clarity and discernment, drawing on superior knowledge and experience. It’s counsel to approach my current moment with a steady mind, cutting through emotion to see truth plainly.
• Future: VI The Lovers

The Lovers card points ahead, an angelic blessing hovering over a scene of choice and duality. Trees and a serpent hint at temptation, though this doesn’t fully resonate with me yet. Perhaps it’s less about literal temptation and more about the harmony of aligning with divine influence—a promise of guidance toward unity and purpose.

Animal Wisdom: The Owl

As I pondered the tarot, the owl emerged from my animal wisdom deck, a symbol of clairvoyance and silent observation. Linked to Athena, goddess of wisdom, the owl perches as a guide to see what others cannot. Its message? Use keen intuition to pierce through the unseen in some life situation. This card felt like a spark, igniting deeper reflection.

A Sudden Insight

Just at this moment, midway through my quiet time, a revelation dropped into my mind like a stone into still water: my worrisome thoughts toward my son could become a curse—a self-fulfilling prophecy casting harm where I intend love. The weight of this hit hard. Instantly, I declared, “I do not consent,” rejecting that energy with fierce intention. The owl’s wisdom seemed to underscore this—urging me to see clearly and shift my focus.

Scripture Speaks: Psalm 139:23–24

Seeking alignment, I turned to a daily Bible app, and these verses met me:

“Search me thoroughly, O God, and know my heart; Test me and know my anxious thoughts; See if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.”

I explored this with an AI companion, and its interpretation deepened my understanding:

• “Search me thoroughly, O God, and know my heart”: A call for vulnerability, trusting God’s omniscience to see what I might miss.
• “Test me and know my anxious thoughts”: An invitation to uncover the roots of my worry—perhaps doubt or fear lurking beneath.
• “See if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me”: A humble plea to root out harm, like those anxious thoughts that could wound my son or myself.
• “And lead me in the everlasting way”: A longing for God’s eternal path—life-giving, righteous, and whole.

AI framed this as a prayer of surrender and transformation—both introspective and relational—trusting God to purify and guide. It’s a model of approaching the divine with openness, not defensiveness, seeking a way that endures.

Tying It Together: 

My Reflection on this Morning Quiet Time
Journey of Insight and Alignment

This quiet time took flight after the owl card, weaving a thread through every element. The insight about my anxious thoughts being potentially “hurtful” echoed Psalm 139’s call to examine and release what doesn’t serve. The tarot offered a roadmap: the III of Wands affirms my progress, the King of Swords urges logical clarity to reframe my worries, and The Lovers hints at heavenly guidance ahead—a blessing to trust in.

The owl’s clairvoyance invited me to see beyond the surface, and Scripture provided the remedy: surrender my anxious heart to God, reject harmful patterns, and step into the everlasting way. My declaration—“I do not consent”—became a pivot point, aligning my spirit with intention and love rather than fear.
