A.I. Oracle: “Held by Wisdom, Open to Abundance.”

A.I. Oracle: “Held by Wisdom, Open to Abundance.”


ORACLE:

Overall Theme

The spread feels like a movement from embodied creation → inner wisdom → completion/integration.

Oracle Cards:

  • Left oracle card:
    A feminine figure among flowers with a shell and dragonfly.
    This evokes sensuality, growth, receptivity, creativity, and transformation.
    The shell suggests something valuable being cultivated internally.
  • Right oracle card:
    A Buddha figure held within a hand.
    This suggests protection, contemplation, spiritual maturity, and trust in a larger process.

Tarot Cards

The Empress

This card is strongly aligned with the left oracle image.

Key messages:

  • Nurture what is growing.
  • Trust your creative instincts.
  • Allow abundance rather than forcing outcomes.
  • Pay attention to the body, nature, pleasure, and self-worth.

The Empress often appears when something is ready to be cultivated rather than chased.

The World

This card represents completion, integration, and stepping into a larger version of yourself.

Key messages:

  • A cycle is concluding.
  • Pieces are coming together.
  • You may be ready to move beyond an old identity, role, or chapter.
  • There is an invitation to recognize how far you’ve already come.

The World is less about achievement alone and more about wholeness.

Oracle Synthesis

The two handmade cards create an interesting bridge:

Flower Woman + The Empress
→ Grow, create, embody, receive.

Buddha in the Hand + The World
→ Integrate wisdom, trust the process, complete the journey.

Together they suggest:

What you are nurturing now is not meant to remain hidden.
It is maturing toward completion.
The path forward comes less from pushing and more from honoring your inner wisdom and allowing growth to unfold naturally.

Reflection Questions

  • What part of my life is asking to be nurtured rather than controlled?
  • What cycle am I actually ready to complete?
  • Where am I underestimating my own wisdom or maturity?
  • What would it look like to receive abundance instead of striving for it?

The energy of this spread feels notably calm and affirmative.
Rather than signaling a dramatic change, it suggests a period of organic growth leading to a meaningful sense of completion and wholeness.

ORACLE: healing through integration

Temperance — the archetype of balance, alchemy, patience, and sacred blending.
In this image, that energy becomes deeply personal and surreal.

The faceless figure with butterfly wings suggests a self still forming.
The blank white circle where the head would be feels important: it’s not emptiness, it’s potential.
A moon.
An egg.
A mirror.
A space where identity is being rewritten instead of performed.

The butterfly wings reinforce metamorphosis.
Less “manifestation,” more “recomposition.”

Temperance asks:

  • What parts of yourself are trying to reconcile?
  • What if becoming whole is a slow art rather than a dramatic event?

The kneeling posture and reaching hands suggest humility and grounding.
There’s a feeling of tending something fragile — maybe creativity, maybe emotional recovery, maybe trust in your own process.

The black-and-yellow wings carry a duality:

  • shadow/light
  • caution/hope
  • grief/renewal

This oracle does not rush you. It says:

“Transformation is happening even when you cannot yet name who you are becoming.”

Oracle keywords:

  • Integration
  • Emotional alchemy
  • Patience
  • Becoming
  • Soft reconstruction
  • Inner harmony

A question from this piece:
What would change if you stopped demanding immediate clarity from yourself?

The card on the right is The Magician — a symbol of manifestation, skill, and channeling inner power into reality. |
That energy merges with the butterfly-winged figures and the eye above them, creating a message about becoming visible to yourself in a new way.

What this oracle suggests:

  • You are in a phase of active creation, not waiting.
  • The “eye” above everything points to awareness, intuition, and being watched over by a larger perspective.
  • The butterfly imagery signals metamorphosis — not a small adjustment, but an identity shift.
  • The stacked figures suggest different versions of self aligning: body, emotion, spirit, ambition.

The Magician’s message here is:

“You already possess the tools. Stop treating your vision like fantasy.”

There’s also a strong theme of collaboration or mirrored energy.
The paired dancer-like figures imply balance between masculine/feminine energies, logic/intuition, or possibly a significant partnership that amplifies your power rather than drains it.

Oracle keywords:

  • Alignment
  • Visibility
  • Creative power
  • Reinvention
  • Intentional action
  • Spiritual confidence

A question this piece asks you:
What would happen if you acted as though your transformation was already real?

In search of the miraculous, meetings with remarkable people


In search of the miraculous
My quest along the path of personal meaning:
Beneath the veneer of Protestantism, I experience a deep undercurrent of Chinese and Javanese spirituality.
When my search began in the Netherlands, only New Age and European spirituality could be found on the bookshelves, and Taijiquan and Yoga in community centers; only later did I reconnect with broader developments from other parts of the world, especially shamanism:

Meetings with remarkable people
Various encounters with people who inspire me:
In addition to the inspiring stories of my father, I have learned much from teachers of Taijiquan & Qigong and from books/teachers within the Chinese tradition (Confucius, Mencius), as well as books/teachers in Western spirituality (Gurdjieff, Regardie, Starhawk). As a bridge, I experience core shamanism (Harner) as an excellent “connector.”

At this stage of my life, I define myself as a spiritual humanist.

“Most precious are the people; next come the spirits of land and grain; and last, the kings.”

Main current sources of inspiration:
Mencius, with regard to shaping humanistic forms of society.
Modern shamanism, with regard to rituals.
Reclaiming, with regard to political action.

Ongoing activities:

Cartomancy

Tarot makeover 02: swap reading


Q: How do I connect with my spirit-helper in a good way?

A:
Do:
Q ♠, 6 ♠, HANGED MAN.
Go for a walk, go outdoor to clear your mind and step out for a moment from your busy life.
Walk with nothing precise in your head.
Just the intention to connect more with your spirit helpers.
Then after a while see what pops in your mind. Is it something that’s bothering, something you’re happy about.
Consider these “thoughts” and see if it’s something you have to solve or pursue…
Meditation (hanged man) is a very good option.
In this case maybe active meditation.

Don’t :
5 ♠ C ♠ of swords, STRENGTH.
Don’t be too pushy on yourself. (Treat yourself kindly.)
It’s seems that you have a high level of expectations, which is not a bad thing as long as you’re not putting yourself down everytime you don’t reach your goal.
So don’t rush on what’s bad or what you see as “mean”, you’re a human with Qualities and faults, accept that it will help you to shortened the distance between you and your spiritual helpers.

Feedback on reading:
The DO aligns with the path I am already take: active meditation (tai ji/qi gong).
The DO’nts are really a good warning, I have the tendency to keep high standards for my self and others.

Tarot makeover 00: workshop

Tarot makeover 00: workshop


Recently I followed the 5-day Tarotmakeover workshops

Day 1:

Q:
Think about a Tarot reading that went really well. What were you doing and who were you being that made it such a positive and enlightening experience?

A:
That one period when I met my twin soul, I fell head over heels in love.
As soon as I drew the Tarot, I was confronted by the Tower.
It confirmed my intuition: this will hurt, this will throw my whole life upside down.
The rest is history… the oracle told me the painful truth.
Nevertheless it was an enlightening experience.
The positive part: I learned to trust my intuition.

Q:
Who are you as a Tarot reader? What are your unique gifts and talents that you can incorporate into your Tarot readings and that will empower you and your clients?

A:
I use the Tarot as window into the other realities: the influences of the past, the dynamics of the presents, the possibilities of the future

Day 2:


Q:
How do you want your sacred space to look and feel like? 

A:
minimal: clean desk, charged by previous cleansing/meditation.

Q:
Go ahead and create your sacred space.
Then, ask a question and pull a card and interpret the message.
What did you experience? 

A:
Investigating the question: How is the relation between angel cards and tarot working out?

SYT angel
The oracle says: Hope-Miracle Making – Free yourself 
Affirmation PS 90.2: I will trust

Tarot: six of wands – VICTORY

interpretation: the connection between the Angel oracle and the Tarot works good!

Brainstorm five powerful, choice-based questions that you could ask the Tarot. 

A:
What is the best practice to build up my spiritual framework?
How do I connect with my spirit-helper in a good way?
How can I find my twin soul?
What is the best way to share my skills and knowledge?
How can I align myself with my mission in this life?

Q:

have learned so far.

A:
Because I did not find a suitable sparring-partner in time, I had to skip this question.

Zinnig Wandelen in Amsterdam Noord –de seizoenen

Zinnig Wandelen in Amsterdam Noord –de seizoenen


Seizoenswandelingen
“Wij mensen zijn geneigd de seizoenen en de wisseling ervan te zien als iets, dat buiten ons om plaats vindt. Wij maken echter deel uit van de cyclische beweging ervan. Sterker nog: wij zijn de seizoenen. Wij zijn de belichaming van dat ritme.” – Jaap Voigt

Tijdens de Seizoenswandelingen van Zinnig Noord maak je kennis met mindful wandelen.
Dankzij een aantal gerichte oefeningen word jij je bewust van je eigen lichaam en een constant veranderende natuur. Het gevoel van krakende sneeuw onder je schoenen, de allereerste groene knopjes aan de bomen, de geur van regen na een warme zomerdag, het geritsel van bladeren, de warmte van de zon… Zinnig Noord wil dit jaar alle pracht van de seizoenen met je delen!

Over de lente zegt Susan Smit: 

Het Engelse ‘Easter’ ontleent zijn naam aan de godin Eástra, en het Duitse ‘Ostern’ aan de Angelsaksische godin Eostra. Vroeger vierden wij in Nederland ook ‘Ooster’, maar de Kerk stelde de verhalen over de godin Ostara gelijk aan het Joodse Pesach feest, vandaar dat wij het hebben over ‘Pasen’ (dat we vieren op de eerste zondag na de eerste volle maan na de lente-equinox).

Na de lente-equinox verschuift de balans naar de lichte kant: tot en met Midzomer zullen de dagen steeds langer worden en de nachten korter. Er begint een nieuw levensgetijde. Niet alleen dag en nacht oftewel licht en donker zijn nu perfect in balans, maar ook innerlijk en uiterlijk, intuïtie en verstand, het bewuste en onbewuste, mannelijk en vrouwelijk zouden rond deze dag in balans kunnen komen. Benut het!

…

In Japan wordt het jaar verdeeld in 72 micro-seizoenen van zo´n 5 dagen per stuk.
Deze seizoenen kennen namen zoals `Eerste kersenbloesem’ en ‘Rupsen worden vlinders’.
Met micro-seizoenen wortelen mensen zich in hun omgeving en komt er aandacht voor de steeds terugkerende patronen van de natuur.
Welke 72 micro-seizoenen zijn in de Nederlandse natuur te herkennen?

Seizoensbeleving hangt af van tijd, plaats, cultuur, weersomstandigheden…

De vier seizoenen, zoals die bekend zijn in Europa, worden heel anders beleefd en ingedeeld in landen zoals Japan en China, en dan hebben we het nog niet eens gehad over de moessons!

De seizoensbeleving van de ene cultuur kan je dus niet zomaar overplaatsen naar een andere cultuur.
Dit wordt des te duidelijker als je een specifiek seizoensfeest zomaar overzet naar je tegenvoeters.
Zo is het heel bizar om Kerst, de winterzonnewende, op dezelfde kalenderdatum te vieren in Australie waar de mensen op dat moment eigenlijk de zomerzonnewende vieren!

En omgekeerd, kan je de microseizoenen van Japan, niet zomaar toepassen in Nederlandse setting!

En toch wordt ik wel getroffen door de synchroniciteit van de 72 micro-seizoenen, omdat ik sinds enige tijd bezig ben met de 72 aspecten van het goddelijke, zoals uitgewerkt in de Qabbalah.
