Facets of Communication Part 5 | Repeat Cards and Tree Spirit Guides

When We Are Met Time And Again By The Same Tree Spirit

'Stalker Cards'

A common phenomenon in reading tarot and oracle cards that we have come to refer to as Stalker Cards is when we experience the repeated presence of the same card showing up for us. When this happens, we tend to think along the lines that there is something we are missing from our interpretation of our previous reading. This approach is natural in reading tarot and oracle cards and supports our intuition and personal awareness as we search a little farther into the card. When repeat cards are present in our reading with our Tree Whisper Oracles, deeper waters are running. And we can approach these repeated cards in a way that is a little different.

An Alive Oracle

Many of us regard our card decks as having a personality, a quality of conscious awareness.. This is an animistic belief that inanimate objects are alive in some way. That they have energy flowing through them, and an intelligent force capable of interacting with us. This is no truer or more felt than in the Tree Whisper Oracles. As echoed through our Facets of Communication series that focuses on the living language of the oracles and their tree spirits. Tree Whisper Oracles where created from nature, they are photographs of real trees in natural wild landscapes. They were brought into being through a felt sensing communication and they support us in fostering a deeper connection with trees, the spirits of nature and with our own inner voices. This is felt and experience by many people who now keep company with the oracles.

Togetherness and Keeping Company

Tree Whisper Oracles message for us is all about keeping company and togetherness. As emotional human beings we feel comfort from keeping company with other living beings such as other people especially with animals and also for many of us this includes otherness. Otherness is felt from nature and natural objects that we perceive as embodying an energy or spirit. From the woodlands, seas and mountains, from trees and stones and from crystals and cards decks as well as other natural human made items. Keeping company and togetherness in spirit is the purpose of these oracles and it is especially important to notice when repeat cards show up for us as their will be a deeper felt sensing experience happening in our lives and between us and our oracle.

Agency and Purpose

Tree Whisper Oracles support our personal journeys through life. When we keep company with them we are fostering within ourselves a closer relationship with the spirit of nature and with our own felt senses. When we are more grounded and present in our own lives we are able to make better decisions for ourselves and provide for ourselves a healthier, more meaningful and purposeful life. When we are experiencing repeat cards from our oracles and we notice the same tree spirit cropping up time and again this is a message for us to take a more keen notice of this card. We need to give ourselves a moment of stillness, ground ourselves and acknowledge that we have a Tree Spirit Guide walking with us. And understanding that this meeting is of a deeper sacred nature than the usual everyday events and issues. That this encounter involves our wider personal ecosystem, life path and creative expression as a human being.

Tree Spirit Guides

Tree Spirit Guides will show up in our lives in many ways. They may include the trees from our childhood or through unexpected encounters marking peak spiritual events in our lives. They may become known to us through The Celtic Tree Calendar or our Birth Tree or even through our Reflected Birth Tree from The Council of Trees. They may catch our attention through synchronistic experiences, signs and omens. And we may meet them in our dreams, visions and shamanic journeys. Tree Spirit Guides aim to keep us company for longer periods of time, they speak to us of bigger themes in our life path, of greater changes and transition periods and of our personal environment and agency within it. They offer support for us to move through these periods of time with awareness and grace. While creating a known and familiar comforting feeling within us, holding a space of beauty for us to experience these shifts as vulnerable yet secure beings

When we encounter a Tree Whisper Oracle Tree Spirit Guide we are encouraged to slow everything down for a moment and find a physical space in our environment that is quiet, and space within ourselves of stillness. This may mean postponing any busy tasks or intense interactions until a later time. And using this time to instead enter into a personal scared space of reflection or fallowness. It may be useful to sit in nature if it is comfortable to do so, or to listen to gentle music and meditate. Other ways to deepen into our Tree Spirit Guide's wisdom could be through gentle dance or stretching. Anything that supports us to settle into a more creative and reflective inner space will support us to attune to our guide and hear our own bodies felt sensing voices more clearly.

We may like to create a special place for our Tree Spirit Guide card. And thoughtfully gather items from nature like leaves, stones and feathers to place there. It might be useful to have a note book handy, not for extensive journaling but for simple felt sensing thoughts during our conversations with our Tree Spirit Guide. It may also be useful to keep our special card out for a number of days while we contemplate our experiences. It is useful to remember that we are in a cascade of unfolding wisdom that is making it's way into our awareness and so we may need some time for us to understand this journey. We can make little offering of blessings to our tree spirit during this time acknowledging the sacredness of our connection and experience.

Yours in the heart of the woodlands,
