0 - The Fool (Smith-Waite Tarot Deck - Centennial Edition) & Generosity (Whispers Of Lord Ganesha - Angela Hartfield)

Blessed Samhain / Halloween & Happy Diwali ! Today is an incredible day filled with incredible celebrations! Both a day to honour our past loved ones and a Festival Of Lights , while most may think they're complete opposites, actually create a beautiful harmony of energy. Today is a day to honour both the light and the dark within ourselves - honour ourselves and each other as complete beings. As we know, Halloween brings with it that Full Moon energy of harvest and fullpower while Diwali brings a warmth and prosperous energy. Why wouldn't these Holidays go together?

On our left we have The Fool - in all his carefree abandon. While this card typically represents new beginnings, (which if you live in the mindset, every day is a new beginning) today The Fool bring a playful innocence - a call to return to the inner child that needs to enjoy the day! He reminds us to take the day as it comes, look for the magic in the little, everyday things. Connect with your inner playfulness and let it out!

On our right, we have Lord Ganesh feeding his mount a sweet - Ganesh is known for his love of sweets, but he's never greedy. He knows there's always enough to go around and sharing with others ultimately benefits you too. His generosity is unmatched, whether it's his abundance of sweets, patience, or life lessons - it's in his nature to give. He reminds us to be generous with those around us, but also with ourselves. We have everything we need, especially when we take the time to be #grateful for it. Diwali is about celebrating with those you love, sharing in the love that you share. Remember that love and self-love are the key.

Magic is all around you, especially today! Connect with your loved ones whether they're here in the physical world or have moved on. Remember that it's not light versus dark, but how we can synergize the two as they're both two sides of the same coin. Be kind to yourself and others, and enjoy the day!

By connecting with the light within, we align with Source, dispelling the outer darkness—the illusion of separation from Source and love

DIPAWALI / DIWALI SIGNIFICANCE

Diwali, the festival of lights, is celebrated on the darkest new moon night of the month of Kartik in the Hindu calendar. It marks the victory of good over evil. There are various alleged origins attributed to this festival. Some hold that they celebrate the marriage of Lakshmi with Lord Vishnu.

In Bengal the festival is dedicated to the worship of Kali. It also commemorates that blessed day on which the triumphant Lord Ramareturned to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana.

On this day also Sri Krishna killed the demon Narakasura. In South India people take an oil bath in the morning and wear new clothes. They partake of sweetmeats. They light fireworks, which are regarded as the effigies of Narakasura who was killed on this day. They greet one another, asking, "Have you had your Ganges bath?" which actually refers to the oil bath that morning as it is regarded as purifying as a bath in the holy

Ganga.

Apart from blessed thoughts which emanate from the inner recesses of our heart, the enthusiasts besides lighting their homes and hearths also make sure that their houses are spruced up for inviting the blessings of Maa Lakshmi, the Lordess of wealth and wellbeing.

For this purpose, we can say with fair amount of certainty that Swachchta (cleanliness)

has its own reward. Not only our houses, we clean up our surroundings too and for this purpose, Swachch Bharat Abhiyan has done much. Need is to keep not merely ourselves but also clean up our environment.

For this, use of crackers which produce huge amounts of pollutants should not be used. It would be in the fitness of things to confine ourselves to lighting our houses to the best way possible.

Deepavali is more of the festival of light than of the sounds generated by exploding of crackers.

Lamps that adorn homes during Diwali symbolize the light of knowledge. Just as darkness causes fear and brings sorrow in the form of mishaps, ignorance of one’s true identity leads to suffering, as body-consciousness gives rise to vices that corrupt our thoughts and actions.

Diwali does not just mark the mythical victory of Rama

over Ravana; it is a celebration of the light of spiritual knowledge dispelling the darkness of ignorance which masks one’s true identity as an immortal being.

Happiness is the fruit of good actions, which in turn flow from pure thoughts and feelings. Noble thoughts will come naturally to us only if we have cleansed our mind and cultivated virtues such as love, kindness, purity and truth which, like the fragrance of flowers, enrich human life and bring joy to relationships.

Deities invoked during Diwali are physical representations of virtues. Goddess Lakshmi, popularly associated with the festival, is shown seated on a lotus, holding a lotus blossom, one each in two of her four arms, while one palm is raised in blessing and another showers gold coins. The lotus is a symbol of purity, as the flower remains untouched by the mud in which it blooms. Blessings and gold signify generosity and abundance.
