✨October 19th, 2023 - Beyond The Threshold of Fear✨
Good Afternoon Mystics!
Sometimes you get a deck thinking you'll share it with everyone and then you keep it to yourself because it feels like a personal deck. One that reads you, knows you, sees you, and hears you. For me, I have quite a few decks like this and sometimes I do share cards from those decks. But the Oracle I'm using today is one of my favourites—you could say prized Oracle decks—because it's so special. I present the Rumi Oracle! It's a collection of 44-cards with stunning art from Rassouli. The guidebook that comes with the deck shares a poem from Rumi and a channeled message by Alana Fairchild.
✨
There are many reasons I love this deck and keep it to myself. Whenever I feel called to pull a card and read the channeled message, it feels as if they were meant for me. As if my guides, angels, and the Universe have picked the perfect message for me in that moment. And I get so lost in Rassouli's gorgeous paintings on each card. Sometimes when I take the deck out I don't even want to pull cards—I'll just look at the art because it speaks to me so much.

I have chosen this card today, Beyond the Threshold of Fear, because I am working to cross that threshold every day. I've mentioned in certain posts that I can be very afraid of things, and it's that fear that can stop me—well, I allow it to stop me. And that's okay because we all do at times. Part of my journey here and now is to reach the other side of fear where I don't let it / allow it to control me. Where I lean into trust, faith, love—in believing in my own power and the power of the Universe; in a life we can co-create where I can move through the veil of fear, doubt, and uncertainty instead of trying to find a way where I don't face it.
✨
In facing the things that scare us we can learn so much about our power and potential. In facing it, we can let go of the experiences, beliefs, and stories that bind us. We then see a new perspective and begin to transition into a new state of being.
✨
There was a point in my life I didn't think I would ever go beyond the threshold of fear. It had become such a big part of my identity at the time, and it was all I could see. No matter how much I tried to change my perspective, I found walking away from fear to be extremely difficult. All those what-if's and how's would flit through my mind and I'd get so caught up in them. But I'm not afraid anymore. Okay, not as afraid. I still have my moments, but it's within those moments I now choose to move through the fear and let the experience teach me something new.
Note: This post will not resonate with everyone and that's okay. Take what does and leave the rest. Trust your intuition!
