Blooming Wand

Emily O'Neal

Welcome to the Blooming Wand podcast! I'm Emily O'Neal, evidential psychic medium, intuitive healer, and coach. Here on this podcast, I guide you on a journey of self-reflection using the wisdom of the tarot.

As a way to honor the flux and flow of life, on each full and new moon, I pull three cards which inspire an intention and affirmation to illuminate your path. Think of them as themes to guide you as we move through the coming days.

Grab your journals, light a candle, and settle into the present moment. Let's delve into the enchanting archetypes of the tarot, uncovering the magic and messages they hold for all of us.

Plus, I'll occasionally be joined by special guests who share their unique perspectives on spirituality, self-care, personal discovery, and navigating the complexities and wonders that life brings.

So, I'm so glad you're here. Let's dive in!

A new moon is upon us, so I have a new tarot curated intention and affirmation for us to work with.
This moon cycle I used the Tarot of the Golden Wheel, and we pulled the Eight of Swords, the Nine of Wheels, and the Six of Wheels.

Be sure to have a look at the cards to see what they awaken in you, let’s dive in!

Intention: When we feel stuck and overwhelmed by limitations imposed by past and current circumstances, feelings of self-doubt, fear, anger, sadness, and overwhelm can take hold.
These emotions, often rooted in unhealed childhood wounds, can flood our awareness with challenging sensations. But there’s hope.

Affirmation: I love my inner child and I am connected to the wisdom that resides in this part of who I am.

Ever wondered how grace can be a transformative force in your life? Imagine harnessing that power to turn your pain and anger into something purposeful. Join me as I reflect on the profound themes of grace and loving-kindness, inspired by the full moon and tarot cards like the Eight and Seven of Pentacles. Through personal stories and examples, I explore the importance of maintaining composure and kindness, even when anger threatens to take over. Together, we'll dissect the concept of grace and tackle the tough question of extending it to those who have hurt us.
Patience and transformation take center stage as we celebrate the beauty of grace and perseverance. Drawing inspiration from the Seven of Pentacles, we examine how celebrating small victories can lead to meaningful change. We’ll also explore the science behind loving-kindness meditation and its extraordinary benefits—from reducing stress to improving self-compassion. A guided meditation will help us cultivate resilience and compassion, equipping us with essential tools to navigate life's challenges more gracefully.
Our journey culminates in setting intentions and affirmations aligned with the current moon cycle, emphasizing grace as a precursor to offering kindness to the world. I'll guide you through personal reflections and share resources for nurturing self-care and growth. With options for one-on-one mentoring and a rich trove of resources at bloomingwand.com, I'm committed to supporting you on this path of healing and transformation. Join me again on the new moon to continue this enriching journey.

The full moon is upon us, so I have a new tarot curated intention and affirmation for us to work with. This moon cycle I used the Wild Unknown Tarot, and we pulled the Four of Wands, the Daughter of Wands (aka Page of Wands), and The Hermit. Be sure to have a look at the cards to see what they awaken in you, let’s dive in.

  • Intention: Time spent in quiet reflection allows for internal processing and integrating experiences. It creates sacred space where we can identify what’s working for us and what needs adjusting. That knowledge can then transform and inform our perspective moving forward.
  • Affirmation: I prioritize quiet reflection so I can commune with my inner flame.
  • A theme that immediately comes to mind when I look at these archetypes is the concept of the inner flame. This is a topic I love, and I’ll loop back to it shortly, but for now, let’s explore the cards one by one.

The full moon is here so I have a new tarot curated intention and affirmation for us to work with. This moon cycle I used the Modern Witch Tarot deck, and we pulled the Six of Swords, the Knight of Cups, and the Knight of Pentacles.

  • Affirmation: With a noble and courageous heart, I let intuition guide me.

Intuition is like a lighthouse piercing fog, it’s always guiding us to the next haven on the map of personal experience. Embracing it can take you on a beautiful journey of self-discovery. On this episode I talk about ways to nurture your intuitive Self.

The new moon is here so I have a new tarot curated intention and affirmation for us to work with. This moon cycle I used the Vintage Wisdom Oracle deck and the Smith/Waite tarot, and we pulled the King of Wands, Intention, and the Knight of Swords. Be sure to have a look at the cards to see what they awaken in you, let’s dive in.

Intention: Depending on what’s going on in our lives, taking mindful action can be tough. In times of crisis, stress, or challenge we may feel the need to take immediate, and well-intended, action. While there are certainly moments where swift responses are needed, I’ve found that taking a moment to reflect is wise.

  • A tool that’s been helpful for me is working with intention. I’m always refining my intentions but mostly they are to be kind, honest, authentic, loving, honor nature and the earth, etc. When I’m finding mindful action difficult, I stop and look to my intentions. Is my desired action in alignment?
  • With that said, you know what? Every time I think about intentions, those quotes about how good intentions pave the way to hell always come to mind. I did a quick internet search and sure enough, there are quite a few quotes from well-known writers talking about the dangers of good intentions.

Affirmation: I hone my intentions often to ensure they are aligned with core values and minimize harm to self and others.

The full moon is upon us, so I have a new tarot curated intention and affirmation for us to work with. This moon cycle I used the Wildwood Tarot deck, and we pulled The King of Arrows, The Page of Arrows, and the Green Woman. Be sure to have a look at the cards to see what they awaken in you, let’s dive in.

Intention: When was the last time you thought about what was truly important to you? The practice of zeroing in on essentials enhances our awareness and shows us where we can lean in or let go. It involves peeling back layers to uncover the values, relationships, and aspirations that truly resonate with our core being.

Affirmation: My intuition guides my understanding of what is essential and aligned with my deepest values and aspirations.
