Tip of the day:
Conference Call
The Magician uses his abilities to connect with all aspects of nature, as if he were on an endless conference call with the spirits of the elements. Communication and networking are his greatest powers. Much like when using services like Webex, skype, Zoom or other audio or visual conference platforms, it is important to understand the people you are talking to so you can meet with them on a personal level and you can have the best conference call possible.
Conference calls can sometimes be long and stressful and the tone of your voice and clarity of your speech are important. Whether its a video conference, you are screen sharing with several people, or on a telephone conference, be like the magician and relax your mind before you begin.
On this card a magician holds his arm aloft, surrounded by his tools of the trade and an infinity sign over his head, implying that the possibilities are limitless. As he summons the powers of nature, the competent and self-assured Magician enchants everything around him. It’s as though the Magician had spoken the future into being. All of the possible consequences are spelled out for him, as well as the many paths he may follow. You can create anything or accomplish anything within your life if you can tap into the Magician’s resources. The Magician is all about putting ideas into context, which is the first step in turning them into reality.
The word “magician” conjures up images of witty dialogue and practical ability. His appearance in your spread denotes a degree of self-assurance and ingenuity that enables you to put your thoughts into action. The insights brought by this card are best used to the pragmatic and concrete elements of your life, rather than the ephemeral or theoretical. Your ability to succeed in future political or commercial endeavors will most likely be determined by your own willpower and drive.
A man in a modest but royal gown stands on the face of the Magician card, he has every tool from each of the suites on a table in front of him, including a cup, a pentacle, a sword, and a staff (for the wands suite). With Beautiful blossoming roses and daffodils surrounding him, both above and below, the magician has a joyful resolve on his face. He’s ready to do what has to be done and he’s glad to know that he is capable of accomplishing his goals.
The Magician card is about that magical moment when all you have to do is perform. When it seems like the world is conspiring to get you to this point, there’s nothing left for you to do except act. Everything is ready, whether it was prepared for you or you prepared it yourself. All that’s left is for you to perform the spell. This emotion has a power to it, a genuine and true power that may flow through you and make you feel invigorated and alive.
Everything Begins in the Mind
We frequently dread labor in our contemporary culture since it is linked with stress, uncertainty, and fatigue. The Magician is telling you that the job ahead of you doesn’t have to be difficult. Work may be as fluid and powerful as, well, magic. We also have a tendency to live in the dark: many of our days pass us by undetected, and we go to bed wondering what we accomplished that day. The Magician urges you to be aware of the job that has to be completed. If you haven’t made the necessary preparations for your job, the Magician is implying that you must meticulously lay out all of your plans before proceeding.
It’s time to ask yourself some questions when you encounter the Magician in your readings. What are you working on at the moment? What tools do you use? Are they put together? Do you have a sense of balance? Goal-driven? Are you sure you understand what you’re getting yourself into? Is it possible for you to allow yourself to feel powerful and strong, or are such emotions something you’d rather avoid?
What The Magician Means for You Today
The Magician has appeared today to remind you that not all is as it seems. While we tend to think of life as a random and mechanical process, the magician knows that all of nature is intelligent. Magic is about more than casting spells to make life easier, it is a way to connect with the fundamental aspects of our being and remember our position as a part of nature ourselves. A true magician trusts in the will of the universe and works along with the flow of events, rather than against them. Today, ask yourself ‘Where am I trying to force things in my life?’ or ‘where am I lacking faith that the universe is on my side’? It is time to tap into your true source of power act with the full force of the universe pushing you from behind.

By Joel Brouwer Nov3,2019 (Poetry Almanac)
He rose before her every morning
to walk three rainy February blocks
to the best and cheapest boulangerie.
Our secret, they said, and didn’t tell friends.
Bonjour Madame, bonjour Monsieur,
une baguette s’il vous plaît, oui Monsieur,
merci Madame, merci Monsieur.
The spell had to be pronounced perfectly
to accomplish the magic. By the time
he returned, she had everything ready,
the jam pots and butter, bowls of coffee.
Her skin still lustrous with sleep as she turned
toward him. He kissed her with his coat on, she
gleaming with heat, he with cold. I’m only
missing one thing, she said. Indicating
the black plastic basket on the table.

The Story
By Fred Chappell
Once upon a time the farmer’s wife
told it to her children while she scrubbed potatoes.
There were wise ravens in it, and a witch
who flew into such a rage she turned to brass.
The story wandered about the countryside until
adopted by the palace waiting maids
who endowed it with three magic golden rings
and a handsome prince named Felix.
Now it had both strength and style and visited
the household of the jolly merchant
where it was seated by the fire and given
a fat gray goose and a comic chambermaid.
One day alas the story got drunk and fell
in with a crowd of dissolute poets.
They drenched it with moonlight and fever and fed it
words from which it never quite recovered.
Then it was old and haggard and disreputable,
carousing late at night with defrocked scholars
and the swaggering sailors in Rattlebone Alley.
That’s where the novelists found it.
“The Story” by Fred Chappell from The Yellow Shoe Poets: Selected Poems 1964-1999. © Louisiana State University Press, 1999
It was on this day in 1940 that Winston Churchill delivered a speech to the House of Commons with the famous line: “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” The Battle of Britain was raging, and he was referring to the small group of the Royal Air Force who had successfully held off the much larger Luftwaffe, the German air force.
Churchill wrote all of his own speeches, and he was a gifted orator, but people thought that his vocabulary and style of speaking were old-fashioned. But after the beginning of World War II, Churchill’s dramatic rhetoric fit the mood of the country.
His father, Lord Randolph Churchill, served in the Parliament and was a talented debater, famous for making spontaneous speeches. Winston, on the other hand, labored over every speech. He brainstormed, researched, planned out the speech in his head, then dictated it aloud to his secretary. From there, he revised it several times and typed it up in what he called “psalm form.” His speeches looked like blank verse poetry on the page, so that the rhythm and pauses were laid out just how he wanted them. Before Churchill delivered a speech, he would practice over and over, sometimes in the bathtub.

Jeanne in one of her Jesus Robes
Jeanne’s Poem:
Some days I wear my Jesus robe
which covers my “no underwear.”
Other days, it’s cover for my manly, muscled legs
which younger brother labels “fat”.
(My fiancé smiles and retorts:”She doesn’t knock down easily”)
Other times my long robe is wide pants for yoga, skating and aerobic exercise-
somersaults, jumps and spinning.
Sometimes I cover with a long cape
for sacred rites, magic and covens.
Swishes live across my ankles,
flow with ‘lectric hems, static power.
Jesus robes are walls ‘gainst dust
windmills for energy: the Word of God, incarnate!

Skippy John Jones and the blue-eyed view

I’ve never seen a blue-eyed owl…

lives only on the internet… like the blue feathers

these irises were human before being pasted here…
Enjoy the illusions of mystery and magic.
Conjure good fortune and wisdom.
