Many of the folklore around making wishes came from trying to communicate with the gods. For example, Ptolemy, Greco-Egyptian writer and astronomer, believed that shooting stars were a sign that the gods were looking down and listening to wishes. Medieval farmers prayed to the Virgin Mary to protect their crops. If ladybugs (they eat pests and their red and black mimicked the robe worn by the statues of Virgin Mary at the time) appeared, the crops would be saved. And the folklore, of a ladybug landing on you gives you luck and a wish, was born. Early European tribes believed that wells were a dwelling place of the gods, hence coins and wishes being sent down into wells.

Last week’s tarotcast was about looking backwards. This week’s tarotcast is about peering into the future. This tarotcast will come from you. I challenge you to write down 3 wishes. Though we all want peace and a better world, I want you all to hone in on what you want for yourself. Maybe it is more time to be creative, maybe it is a new car, or maybe love… Wishes come true but they take time and come in unique ways. So be patient, be open and have hope with 2017. No guilt – I am giving you permission to “dream a little dream” for you.
