Tarot card of the month: September 2023, The Devil

 

Key words: Ego, Addictions of all sorts, Lust, Materialism, Hopelessness, Ignorance, Bondage, Restriction, Temptation

I think we have already had this card pop up in 2023 and it is still very relevant to humanity due to the fact that we are all creatures of habit and we do not collectively seem to be capable of learning lessons especially on a spiritual level. The hermanubis (humanoid looking beings) chained to their lot in life, the black stone relating to Saturn. The hermanubis represents human instincts and mindsets struggling to rise above the lowly conditions and restrictions to become more spiritually attuned. 

Inverted energy, which is destructive energy that restricts thinking and instead responds only to base instincts perpetuating a never ending cycle of suffering. The energy of this card is Saturn based, Saturn being the ruler of the Sign Capricorn and the 10th House of the zodiac. Which covers reputation, profession, authorities, a parent, status and the ego. Saturn gives us the urge for safety and security. Saturn is also "The Teacher" which goes in cycles of 28 to 30 years so it is a generational cycle.

To me this card informs me of human nature, the human ego and lessons to be learned.  Sadly humanity seems incapable of learning lessons as history clearly demonstrates. Restrictive thinking or living in ignorance if you like. And when you look at a cycle this long you can see that this is a major chunk of a persons life with restrictive thinking. 

What I feel in this card is emotional energy, right v's wrong, left v's right and unbalanced energy. Temptation to do things that may not be the right thing to do, tempered with logic. People as well as leaders seem to be at loggerheads globally. International politics are highlighted and highly charged emotionally, moving things up a notch. This is carefully done though, carefully thought out by western leaders. I feel they need more time to build up their war machine. But there is carelessness and lack of foresight because someone is not on the ball in the west.

So missed opportunities to put protective measures in place are apparent. But!! is this really carelessness or planned? Goading the opposition to act. Not that either side are at all innocent, none of these leaders are good guys, and this is the duality of this world playing out. Someone is upping the ante and there is no doubt about that. China is not happy and neither are Russia and Iran. But things must simmer down otherwise we will have a crisis on our hands. Which will continue to see-saw up to 2025.

That year is the point of no return globally!

Shipping, as expected will be extremely difficult and problematic and will become much worse by 2025. Certain commercial trading routes as expected will be barred or blocked and embargo’s increasing. Safety issues obviously are part of this due to Russia, China and Iran and their buddies playing dangerous games. Play  dangerous games then expect to win dangerous prises. This is the human ego expressing itself with temptation, restrictions and goading. 

Care is needed when handling the BRICS issue, I feel this will be an obvious stumbling block, we must keep an eye on India here because they are not alway playing by the rules and do things to suit them only. This may result in India having problems in global business if they act unethically. 

September will be a memorable month for some people. New things of interest and alternative entertainment is the feeling that I get. But there is something historical happening too, this feels like in the UK and perhaps in Scotland itself. This is commemorating something and I see a castle involved.  Memories are held dear.

Nationalism is a thing in September too, observed around the world, as people feel protective of their homelands.  Don't take this to the extreme please because it could have unintended effects or consequences. Keep it happy, joyful and light. Nationalism can be as simple as celebrating food from your homeland and sharing it with others in a feeling of love and friendship. That is nice, we don't need or want fanatacism because that is destructive energy.

Everyone on earth has the right to their culture and celebrate it lovingly, then no one is offended. Respect  is the key here, so respect the country and the culture that you are living in. Simple and peaceful gratutude and leave it at that with love in your heart. 

Beach activity in September might be a bit of a fizzer in the northern hemispheire with wind and rain, so it may not be much fun then. You might as well have fish and chips and a stroll around the beach forshore. Just enjoy being outdoors as best you can before Jack Frost returns. 

I must point out avoid any violence in public places because it will not end well, it will not be tolerated.

This is due to new laws that have been introduced. People are on edge already due to world afairs, so please be careful and remember what is done cannot be undone. Stay cool and don't engage in any anti social behaviour.

Keep your eyes on the news in September because there are major changes coming. Read between the lines in some news articles. As all is deffinately not as it seems, be prepared for some shocks in the news. This again is global, stay calm and stay focussed, be careful of how you react to some of the news. There are some shocks that many people will not like, get used to it, as I said in my 2023 predictions this is a new era globally and you will not like what is coming. Stay clam and logical, this is imperative, logic before reacting. 

Someone in a very powerful position is deliberatley stoking the fire flames at a very high global level. He is an old western man with grey hair that I mentioned last month, this man is nasty!   

Warm and fuzzy hugs to everyone around the world and warm and fuzzy hugs to all fur babies 💓

Ps this was done yesterday afternoon but just posted today at 11.56am

DNA Extracted From 2,900-Year-Old Palace Brick

 https://greekreporter.com/2023/08/24/dna-exctracted-2900-year-old-palace-brick/

What an amazing study. I had no idea that scientists would even bother about taking DNA samples from ancient bricks. Quite a lot of information could be gathered from doing such research. This thing is to know which sites are worth spending money on for research purposes as it’s probably not cheap to conduct research like this.

Wes Penre: Q and A session 2 August 2023

https://wespenrevideos.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/QA-Session-2-August-2023.pdf 

I actually expected this to come on Thursday night but it’s early, thanks Wes! I think the question should be, who are the architects of the universe because there are several involved in the creation process. Of course it is a mathematical and electrical universe. Spirit is electrical so it needs an electric universe to function, it’s also intelligent by design not by chance and we spirited humans are needed as a primary food source of loosh for the survival of some of the beings that need our emotional energy as food. We are also to be used eventually as avatars which are needed to enter Orion or the true spiritual multiverse for the next phase of the spiritual war against the Orion multiverse.

 In regards to the reincarnation process if you don’t have children, we are from large soul groups so technically the person can be the offspring of anyone in the soul group. As for AA Michael, I still don’t trust him or anyone mentioned in the WPP etc. I would be very reserved in thinking any of these characters are benevolent towards humanity. What is in it for them and what is in it for humanity?  Caution is the wisest option here. Trust nothing and wait until you leave the matrix before you can form any kind of understanding. 

As far as the forgiveness thing goes, I disagree here because it is entrapment of the gullible and spirituality naive individuals. What Wes has left out or has forgotten here is the forgiveness issue lets others off the hook for deeds they have done and the flow on effect of that, because it is not just human beings deeds involved here. It’s also the dark ET’s and those in the beyond life area that are involved in this. There are definitely individuals that point blank refuse to acknowledge and accept their actions and in turn others are guilt tripped into accepting the karma of these individuals that refuse to accept the consequences of their actions. The said person that accepts this may in fact not have done anything wrong in the first place, but may be led to believe that they did. This can also be something from another life time that the person has no way of knowing if they did anything wrong or was  it someone else’s deeds. 

I myself was put on the spot by a very evil woman many years ago when sitting in a psychic circle in my own home. This evil woman told me, her guides asked me why I did something to some people over two hundred years ago that resulted in their deaths. I was horrified at her audacity and put her straight immediately. This bitch was trying to entrap me to take on a karmic debt. Knowing full well that karma is fake, she herself doesn’t believe in it and scoffs at the notion. 

I looked her right in the face and said, how can I answer something like that? I have no idea if I was around at that point in time and have absolutely no way of knowing what the truth of the matter is and that there is no damn way that I would admit to something that I have no possible way of knowing if I did or didn’t commit a crime or act of criminal activity. Why on earth would I be so stupid as to believe this? She was rather quiet after that. Not just that this is the evil bitch that told me my son was going to be killed in a car crash after having an argument with me. What sort of person says something like that and in your own home? As usual this evil creature would have a sickening smile on her face when ever she imparted such things to me. So when it comes to karma please know this important fact, it is an artificial construct designed to entrap and enslave people into the never ending cycle of reincarnation. Reincarnation by the way serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever, to believe otherwise is a grave mistake that will perpetuate suffering and spiritual injustice and ignorance. 

Wes actually mentioned in the WPP,  the beyond life beings that control this reality and the abuse that they have committed against humanity and others star races. There are beings that refuse to admit their wrongdoings some of which amount to crimes against humanity, spirit and  other beings. This has gone on for millions of years too. Wes also mentioned in the WPP that humans were set up to fail and take the karma ( remember karma is in fact an artificial construct designed to enslave and keep the cycle perpetual). 

The higher self, I like to think of that as like a spiritual hard drive. The main primary spirit that we are outside of the physical body and physical world, it is incorruptible and pure Wes summed it up perfectly with his analogy of a VR computer game, except the game has serious consequences for humans. We in the third dimension are corruptible in thought and behaviour unless we are conscious of our spiritual nature and endeavour to live a spiritual life as best we can under such difficult circumstances in this reality. 

I always maintain that I am spirit first and foremost and then human second. To me my life is about serving true spirit, humanity and the beautiful animals in our world. 

WHO holds first traditional medicine summit

 https://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/who-holds-first-traditional-medicine-summit/news-story/0b233491ab449998802052a793a277a5

I have said previously that the day will come when conventional medicine will need to allow for alternative medicine and treatments because of the lack of doctors and a failed medical system. 

Well here we are a medical summit to discuss this very subject. The only reason that very few tests have ever been conducted on natural medicine is because big pharma has a vested interest in debunking things that are able to be grown in your garden. 

Gold Coast driver's shock as snake appears while on highway

 https://www.9news.com.au/national/green-tree-snake-on-car-windscreen-gold-coast/a218648f-053c-4b9f-a75f-03c4d3e46c51

That’s a code brown folks 🤣🤣🤣🐍🐍🐍 No one wants to have an experience like this on the road but hey, weird stuff happens in Australia and at least the snake was on the outside of his car. He really should have phoned an  animal welfare agency to come to rescue the snake not just leave it in the car engine. I wonder if he was game to check the engine after work  😳 Spiders are another visitor and hitchhiker that we get in our cars over here, I have had spiders in my car but I  just belt them , lol.

 Snakes often get into a car in rural areas or out bush though. I recall a  teacher that I had when I first came to Australia in the early 1970’s,  telling the class about when he was driving way out bush and a snake managed to get into his car via the front wheel on the drivers side. This is not a regular occurrence but it does happen occasionally and just part of life in Australia. 

I will just leave these snake pics for you to shudder at now 🤣🤣🤣🐍🐍

Wes Penre: Q and A Session #1 August 2023

 https://wespenrevideos.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/QA-Session-1-August-2023.pdf

With regards to the woman’s daughter involuntary leaving her body, this to me seems like she should be telling whomever is doing this to stop it immediately. It doesn’t sound right and her freewill is being violated. She doesn’t elaborate much on what her daughter has experienced however if her daughter doesn’t want this to happen then she should be refusing to go through this and when awake she should telepathically be saying to whomever is doing this to her that she doesn’t consent and leave her alone. 

That needs to be stated every single day and at night because it can take time to get through to the entities doing this to her. It’s a rather frightening experience and especially if she can’t control this. As soon as she feels it starting she should telepathically shout out NO, leave me alone. She should also state she doesn’t consent. 

Wes is not wrong about the drop in frequency on the planet, as I have mentioned before, the human race is only programmed to go so far and then we hit the wall. A reset then happens and we have to relearn or restart ourselves psychologically and civilly. These things are also part of the astrological cycle of humanity. I don’t believe it is in our best interests either, and our reality is a low frequency reality so of course it will be violent. The results are always around us no matter what time we live in. We are at the tipping point again for war and destruction because those in power want this to happen, nothing is by chance or accidental it is cause and effect. 

Astrologically the planet Pluto represents destruction or reformation and fusion. Pluto has a 248 year cycle. Uranus, Devine discontent, it can be sudden violent and unexpected events. Uranus has a 84 year cycle. These are transcendental planets along with Neptune. Which has a 165 year cycle, and when we think of destruction Neptune governs drugs, drug addiction and alcoholism in its negative effects. So this gives you a little bit more understanding of the times we are living in. 

Visions as I was grounding and attuning myself

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_mundi

A rather weid thing happened to me today as I was grounding and tuning in. While doing my grounding and going through each chakra, I started to see significant places around the world. Starting with the Dome of the Rock with a bright blue sky above. This became noticeable as I got to my throat chakra and it really startled me because I don't usually see things like this when tuning in. It is normally shapes, sacred geometry and occasionally colours when I tune in.

I then saw another place  of significance in the northern hemispheir, yet I am struggling to remember what it was, a building of some sort but that is all. After this being shown to me, I saw the Australian Parliament House building and many people rushing towards it. The people were in a state of pannic  and in need of protection from an unseen danger. The sky was bright blue above  Parliament House too. I then saw what looked like a volacano or Mt Fuji in Japan capped with snow.  There was also another volcano seen at another chakra and everything just happened so fast that they all blended into one. I saw shown the NATO symbol which depicts the four cardinal points of direction, I then saw a little boy standing on an observation deck in a big complex, he was looking through a big gallery length window. He turned to look at me and then went back to looking through the window. He was watching an experiment and I had a strong feeling that it was neuclear energy. The boy was very focussed on what he was watching with a serious look on his face. To put an age to the boy I would say perhaps 9 or 10. With a grey woollen jumper and medium brown short hair style of his era and he was wearing shorts. Boys in the old days wore shorts until they were 14 and then into long trousers. I got the feeling that this boy was not a boy in our time, he was in the past, decades ago. To me the time line could have been the 1940's or 50's. I would probably say more the 1950's though. 

As I got to the end of my attuning and grounding I had a feeling of everything shaking and suddenly I saw people runing again to the Australian Parliament building. I then saw what appeared to be a volcanic tremor at the same time though the volcanic activity was triggered by what could have been nuclear energy. This to me implies a massive energy shift happening globally, it did not feel good at all. After that  I was shown a big body of water as in the pacific ocean and a submarine preparing to attack Australia (Western Australia). I felt this was deliberatley targeting Australia and we need to be prepaired for an event in the near future. This does not necessarily mean that we will be physically attacked in Australia but there is a definite shift mentally and emotionally happening on a global level. 

I do feel though that Australia needs to up its coastal defences immediatley as there will be a naval battle whether we like it or not. Air and sea warfare is going to impact Australia in the future. I would say that all four corners of the globe will be affected by war; and the effects will be felt before and after which goes without saying with any war.    

I get a feeling of energy or lay lines connected here and how everything affects humanity emotionally, mentally and physically. It is our chakras that ground us to the earth and this reality. Our emotions are directly linked to the ley lines. All religious buildings are built on ley lines including ancient pagan places of worship going back to the very beginning of human spirituality. 

I will say again,  all war is a failure of humanity!

Copyright, Alex Fulford , 12 August 2023 

UPDATE: 30/6/24 Looking for something in my blog I came across this. The thing that jumped out at me was the Dome of the Rock. We know now what happened last year on 7th October and that sure was a seismic shift becoming a nightmare. 

The actions of Uranus, the asshole planet, it is a breaker of traditions, governs utopian mindsets, it rules earthquakes, its actions can be sudden and unexpected and often violent. Then Pluto the herpes of planets. It is highly destructive and goes through each zodiac sign for 12 to 13 years in a 248 year cycle and as one of the three transcendental planets it is an upper octave of Mars. Pluto rules the masses,  it is an underworld planet of subversion, nuclear power, kidnapping to name a few things. Pluto along with Uranus will be causing chaos up to 2043 as it will reside in Aquarius. You will see me commenting on this in my 2024 world predictions done last October. 

Mars the planet for war was in Libra from the 3rd of October, and this is the Israeli prime minister’s birth sign. 

We have also seen empty threats by Putin of nuclear exchanges and the nuclear power plant in Ukraine in the news. That doesn’t mean that a nuclear war will happen, it is only just put into the media. Any time someone or something is discussed it actually activates the astrological aspects of the subject matter or person. Such as a famous person in history, the natal chart doesn’t die with the person’s death. It lives permanently as the person name comes up in public conversation such as in education or even a news article about the person. 

International Cat Day, I missed it again, D’oh!

 Damn! I find out after the event 😳🤪 I do this every year, so I have finally stuck it in my google calendar for 8th August with it set to annual reminder and for International Dog Day on 26th August too. Just as well or Miss Ruby would have something to bark about. So for what it’s worth……happy belated International Cat Day to all kitties big and small. Meow 😻

Daisy and Garfield’s baby photo, it was not easy to get a photo of them together because they were usually scraping. Daisy was a very small cat and two weeks older than Garfield but Daisy was the one to wallop Garfield. He was a big kid and very cuddly but he was always up to mischief, his sister was more serious and laid the smack down on him often.

Your Reference Ain’t Relevant: NSW Attorney-General commits to referring law reform to DCJ

https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/news-life/your-reference-aint-relevant-nsw-attorneygeneral-commits-to-referring-law-reform-to-dcj/news-story/f2272e1c28343ba14cb78c0f0bfa71fd 

A good character reference for a horrible crime is appalling and sickening. There are many perpetrators that hide behind the veil of respectability. This needs to be removed from the law asap. It’s undermining the victims and should never have been allowed in the first place. NSW government, make this happen you owe the victims this right! 

The entire country needs to step up and change their laws to give true justice for all the victims of abuse, not avoid responsibility and protect the perpetrators. 

Some chuckles and a cringe

 

                                                  🤣🤣🤣 Oh my! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mourners in Ireland pay respects to singer Sinéad O'Connor at funeral procession

Much respect. Her funeral reminds me of the sorrow and love expressed by the public when princess Diana died. Sinead had a massive impact on the world. 

Wes Penre: Orion book 1 and 2 Q and A session 5

 https://wespenrevideos.com/2023/08/08/orion-book-1-and-2-qa-session-5/

In the last question when mentioning the Akashic records and energy being stored. I can tell you that on a psychic level energy is stored on items that belong to a person. That is why we psychic people are able to read from personal items belonging to people. That ability is called psychometry and is part of the Clairtangence ability. I have had to clear energy from items that belonged to people who have died because the person was attached to the item including a very dangerous person that had died. If you go into the index of this blog look for the labels psychic experiences and articles by Alex.

You will see a few posts of my experiences of deceased people who are attached to items but also the living people when I read an item belonging to them. Jewellery is a common thing for our energy to be stored on but so are crystals. As I was reading question 6 Atlantis popped into my mind because the people of Atlantis used crystals as part of their technology and in temples. The reason for me knowing about the temples is, when I was a child of 6 or 7 I had a flashback to life in Atlantis. That is mentioned in a blog post about my psychic experiences. It is not something that one forgets because it is a memory and poof of life from a past lifetime. 

Benefits, downsides: Everything you need to know about tea

 https://www.heraldsun.com.au/lifestyle/food/benefits-downsides-everything-you-need-to-know-about-tea/news-story/a8ac8d4d5ba7563c1ddad097ec3fb32f

Ahh, There’s nothing like a good cup of tea to kick start your morning. Pure bliss with so many flavours and types to choose from. And the cup or mug that is your favourite to add to the moment of bliss. 

Don’t drink too much tea though because it can have unpleasant side effects that you may not be aware of, moderation is the key.

https://psychictarotreadingwithalexfulford.blogspot.com/2022/01/eat-this-10-signs-youre-drinking-too.html

Recently I discovered that Twining’s have brought out a French Earl Grey tea with vanilla so I had to try it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will probably use this instead of their regular Earl Grey tea. But nothing tops the French Earl Grey tea by T2 which has been around for years. This is luxurious and highly recommended to anyone living in Australia that loves tea. As far as I know T2 is not available outside of Australia. Please be aware too that there is a thing called Earl Grey intoxication, which is caused by Bergamot in the ingredients. The symptoms are bloating and muscle cramps in your legs that are quite painful, speaking from experience. So the safe limit is three or four cups per day, unless your drink sufficient water or use magnesium cream on the affected muscles. 

https://psychictarotreadingwithalexfulford.blogspot.com/2021/03/the-lancet-earl-grey-tea-intoxication.html The Lancet, Earl Grey intoxication.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Grey_tea Yay, T2 French Earl Grey tea is mentioned in Wikipedia 😻 Crème brûlée tea from T2 is lovely as is New York breakfast tea, Russian caravan tea is highly popular too. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Grey_tea

Tea is more than a lovely warm beverage it is a lifestyle and a ritual to be enjoyed. The spin off from this is the appreciation of lovely bone China and beautiful teapots to collect. I really love teapots 🫖 I have a favourite teapot which is the Brambly Hedge teapot made in England with matching cream and sugar bowl and the seasonal mugs,  tea cups, sauces and plates. My dream is to find a chintz teapot but it has to be a particular colour. I missed the chance years ago to buy one. But now and again I comb the internet to see if one takes my fancy. Eventually the right one will turn up at a reasonable price.

I had a lovely Arthur Woods and son teapot and four years ago I had it on the gas stove and forgot about it. Sadly when I went to pick it up the bottom fell off and hot tea went everywhere. I was devastated because I loved this teapot and they are no longer available. It was a particularly nice looking teapot. Golden rule is never put a china teapot on the stove top. Even at a low temperature it may crack. A teapot warmer is a safe way to keep the tea warm between drinks. T2 and Adore Tea sell them so don’t do what I did, lol. Yes I do have a glass teapot warmer which I use it was just me having a senior’s moment and put my teapot on the gas stove D’oh! Never mind, just keep calm and drink tea 🫖😃   https://adoretea.com.au/collections/teawares?filter.v.availability=1&page=3. The link for a glass teapot warmer. This is the one that I have, it’s nicer than the black one sold by T2 IMHO ❤️

Warm and fuzzy hugs
