THE lavender ORACLE CARD || THE MODERN GODDESS ORACLE DECK

Take a deep breath.

Lavender oil is so mainstream that you can get the fragrance as a hanging air freshener for your car. But that doesn’t make it any less magical! Lavender has the power to relax you no matter what is going on in your life. It can decrease anxiety, and it can also bless your home.

Drawing the Lavender card is a sign that you need to pull back a little. Relax, go inward, and spend time creating a space in your home that feels like a peaceful sanctuary. Now is not the time to push forward or make any rash decisions. Instead, focus your energy on taking things slow and living in the present moment.

Moving slowly and deliberately is a very effective way of making progress, especially if your goal is quite large. There is no need to hurry to the finish line. Take your time. Let others pass you and give them a friendly wave as you watch them sprint ahead. Your victory is coming, and it will likely happen effortlessly as you’re moving along at a leisurely pace.

Practical Magic for the Modern Goddess

Spend an afternoon making candles with lavender essential oil to burn as you’re reading oracle cards or meditating.

You can also melt the top of tea light in the oven and add a drop or two of lavender essential oil rather than making candles from scratch. Burn your lavender candles on a lazy Sunday morning or on a quiet night during the waning moon phase.

Diffuse lavender essential oil before you have company over to cleanse your space and create an energetically welcoming atmosphere.

Note: Lavender oil can be harmful if it gets on your skin. Some oils should not be used around pregnant women or people with other health conditions, so check with a doctor before using essential oils. Be aware that any oils can trigger allergic reactions.
