Prosperity Mandala
Apr. 14th, 2019 11:52 amJust for shiggles, I worked through a modified version Mary K. Greer's "Prosperity Mandala" exercise (as per Benebell Wen). Some of it involves deliberately choosing cards and reflecting on them, and I had nice long hot takes on the cards I chose but then my DW client ate shit and lost the post. I won't rehash it—the process of writing it out helped me get through the exercise as I needed to do, and I don't think I had any singular insights worth sharing—but I will note the results here.
How the Universe will provide abundantly for your needs: The Chariot
Emotional and spiritual state that you'll be endowed with: The Four of Clubs
The happiness and prosperity that you will manifest into reality: The Three of Cups
Energies for the antidote to remove all barriers to your prosperity: The Empress
How you will be rewarded for your hard work and achievement: Ace of Swords
My personal revelation of prosperity: The 6 of Coins
It's worth noting here that there are two cards that are part of the meditative process that don't make it into this final mandala/spread. These are cards that represent your barriers to prosperity. One is a card that you deliberately choose (for me, the Five of Swords) and one is that you draw at random from the deck (The Ace of Pentacles). In my now-lost post, I noted that the 5 of Swords and the Ace of Pentacles represented the two extremes of an economic spectrum. Ruthless capitalism on one hand (5 of Swords) and my personal weird hangups about accepting favors and gifts and genuine generosity on the other (Ace of Pentacles).
It's noteworthy that the card I deliberately chose as how I want to be rewarded was the Ace of Swords, so its position here is encouraging.
And finally, while this s framed as a piece of Tarot money magic, I think it's clear from the cards I chose that I'm operating from a broader definition of "prosperity" than purely material wealth. But more on that in later journal reflections (the first one coming, hopefully, tonight!).
