OAK GROVE ORACLE www.OakGroveOracle.com

The Oak is considered to be the king of trees , the tree of learning, and the guardian of sacred realms. Oak species have been held sacred by nearly all cultures that encounter them. The Oak is tied to Odin (Odinism), Zeus (Greek), Jupiter (Roman), Lugh (Celtic), Brigid (Celtic), Merlin (Druidry), and St. Columba (Christian). Oaks are revered for their magnificent size and beauty, as well as their resilience and acorns. Country-people have frequented the oak for its curative powers, which can aid in success, protection, prosperity, and focus.

An Oracle can be a place, such as a shrine blessed to the worship and consultation of a prophetic deity. It may be a person, such as a priestess, through whom a deity is held to respond when consulted. It could also be the prediction or the passing of knowledge and wisdom.

Hence, OAK GROVE ORACLE represents the inner creative spirit of Radical Faeries, regardless of where they may be located or what belief system they may honor. It is the hope that OAK GROVE ORACLE brings to light the magick of self-expression in its varied forms to enlighten, amuse, and bewilder those who cross its domain.

Pipa is The Sun

Happiness, Content, Joy.

The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.

Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.

The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.
