Electric Feel: My birthday reading

My wise and dear friend Nessa did a birthday reading for me, using her very fun method of the musical tarot. She created a list of songs, each assigned to a card of the Motherpeace deck. She has chosen each song for its deep resonance with the meaning of the card. Then.... shuffle!

I'm glad she didn't use the traditional deck. The Tower card can have some scary readings sometimes. This is a powerful reading, and I look forward to seeing how it may have played out when I look back next year.

MotherPeace Card: The Tower
MotherPeace Card Meaning: Radical Shift, Illumination

It's going to be a shifting type of year. I color that a good thing, a necessary thing. We all need a bit of shake, rattle and roll now and again to get back to basics. We need to remember that even the little jolts have the ability to inform us and change our world, our perspectives. Plugging in, that is ...connecting, is important. We can rattle the lightening bolts all we wish, but without connections - Electricity does not travel. We each have our own special brand of Electricity/ Energy.... we affect and inform others. Throughout this year, keep this idea in mind. Observe-Integrate-Disseminate - Share your Electric Feel.

Song: Electric Feel
Artist: MGMT

All along the western front
People line up to receive.
She got the power in her hand
To shock you like you won't believe.
Saw her in the amazon
With the voltage running through her skin
Standing there with nothing on
She gonna teach me how to swim

I said ooh girl
Shock me like an electric eel
Baby girl
Turn me on with your electric feel

I said ooh girl
Shock me like an electric eel
Baby girl
Turn me on with your electric feel

All along the eastern shore
Put your circuits in the sea
This is what the world is for
Making electricity
You can feel it in your mind
Oh you can do it all the time
Plug it in and change the world
You are my electric girl.

I said ooh girl
Shock me like an electric eel
Baby girl
Turn me on with your electric feel

I said ooh girl
Shock me like an electric eel
Baby girl
Turn me on with your electric feel

Do what you feel now
Electric feel now

Love with all my heart the wretches gone awry

The Wretches Gone Awry by Happy Rhodes

Mine are like the wings of a butterfly
A dusty pair so,
Don't you touch them or I'll never fly anywhere

And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

Ever see the wings of a dragonfly?
Paper-thin and cellophane
And quickly broken like the will to live for a mind in pain

And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

I cannot change what is and
I cannot make it die
But I can love with all my heart
The wretches gone awry

And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

You know I can be rid of my time and
the moon will always shine
'Cause he knows I need him to walk
this vile and crooked line

And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

And you can own all the light in the world and still be blind
And lie and hide away from the people in
the world and still be kind

And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

I cannot change what is and
I cannot make it die
But I can love with all my heart
The wretches gone awry

And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

All I ask is you let me be to live like I do
I'll never be part but someday I will pass on through

And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

You can pull the wings from a dragonfly
And you can kill the flight of a butterfly
But you can't harm me for I live with the freedom to decide

And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

You cannot change what is and
You cannot make it die
But you can love with all your heart
The wretches gone awry

Say
You cannot change what is and
You cannot make it die
But you can love with all your heart
The wretches gone awry

Yes the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
