Walking the Edge: My Journey as an Empath Learning to Protect, Heal, and Shine

By The Artful Woman
For as long as I can remember, I’ve sensed things others couldn’t. Energies, presences, whispers from another realm—all mixed into the fabric of my everyday life. It wasn’t until much later that I understood why: I’m an empath. Being an empath means I absorb emotions and energies around me, sometimes to the point where it feels overwhelming. Negative energies, draining people—what I call “energy vampires” or “soul snatchers”—can knock me off balance if I’m not careful. For a long time, this sensitivity felt like a curse. But now, I see it as a gift—a calling. Encounters Beyond the Veil Throughout my life, I’ve had moments that defy logic. One night driving past a cemetery, I saw a pink orb-like form linger around my car. It felt playful and curious, not frightening—a gentle energy reaching out across the veil. But it wasn’t one of my guardian angels. I’ve felt their presence in other ways, and this orb was something else—something that just passed through, maybe just drawn to my l...

Unlocking Abundance: A Guide to Using the Angels of Abundance Oracle Cards Without a Guidebook

Image
By The Artful Woman

 


When I first purchased the Angels of Abundance Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue and Grant Virtue, I was eager to explore the insights they promised. However, I quickly discovered that the guidebook was missing—a common issue, as this deck has been out of print since 2016 and is now considered a collector's item . Undeterred, I embarked on a journey to understand and connect with these cards, developing my own method of interpretation. If you've found yourself in a similar situation, this guide is for you.​

Creating a Sacred Space

Begin by setting the mood for your reading. Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. Light a candle, burn some incense, or play soft, calming music to enhance the atmosphere. This sacred space will help you attune to the energies of the cards and your own intuition.​

Cleansing and Consecrating the Cards

Before your first reading, it's essential to cleanse the cards of any residual energies. You can do this by holding the deck in your hands and visualizing a bright white light enveloping them, or by smudging them with sage or palo santo. Once cleansed, consecrate the cards by holding them to your heart and setting your intention, asking for guidance and clarity in your readings 

Connecting with the Cards

  1. Set Your Intention: Clearly state what you seek guidance on, whether it's a specific question or general insight into your path to abundance.​

  2. Shuffle the Deck: As you shuffle, focus on your intention. You may also say a prayer or affirmation, such as, "May these cards provide clarity and guidance for my highest good."​

  3. Draw a Card: Once you feel ready, draw a card from the deck. Pay attention to any thoughts, feelings, or images that arise as you do so.​

Interpreting the Cards Without a Guidebook

Each card in the Angels of Abundance deck features a message and imagery designed to inspire and guide. Here's how to interpret them:​

  • Read the Message: Reflect on the words printed on the card. How do they relate to your current situation or question?​

  • Observe the Imagery: Take note of the colors, symbols, and figures depicted. What emotions or thoughts do they evoke?​

  • Trust Your Intuition: Your inner guidance is a powerful tool. Allow your feelings and impressions to inform your understanding of the card's message.​

Remember, there's no right or wrong interpretation. The key is to connect with the cards in a way that resonates with you.​

Integrating the Guidance

After interpreting the card, consider how its message applies to your life. What actions can you take to align with this guidance? You might choose to journal your insights, meditate on the message, or set intentions based on the card's theme.​

Final Thoughts

While the absence of a guidebook can be challenging, it also offers an opportunity to deepen your intuitive connection with the Angels of Abundance Oracle Cards. By creating a sacred space, setting clear intentions, and trusting your inner wisdom, you can unlock the profound guidance these cards have to offer.​

Walking Away to Save Myself: Breaking the Chains of a Toxic Family

By The Artful Woman
  For years, I lived with trauma so deep it tried to silence me—but instead of breaking me, it made me defiant. Everything my mother said to tear me down, I resisted. I became everything she said I couldn’t be. My mother—the person who should have protected me—was instead the source of fear, pain, and rejection. She never offered love, safety, or validation. Instead, I lived in constant anxiety and terror. The beatings were daily. And when she wasn’t hitting me herself, she had trained my middle sister to take over. The abuse was relentless. Inescapable. This was my childhood: a house ruled by violence, fear, and control. What made it even darker was her involvement in witchcraft and black magic. She used it as a weapon—threatening me with curses, wishing me dead, and vowing she would outlive her children just to watch our lives unravel. I grew up under the heavy fear that I had been cursed by the one person who was supposed to nurture me. Her cruelty didn’t stop there. She often ...

Beauty, Brains & Boundaries

By The Artful Woman
    Why Worthy Women Are Done Apologizing for Wanting More As a young girl, I was an international model—traveling the world, young, beautiful, and financially independent. I was naturally drawn to powerful, intelligent, and successful men—not because I needed anything from them, but because I admired ambition. I respected men who could build something for themselves, because I was already building something for myself. But because I was beautiful, I was labeled. Assumed. Dismissed. "Gold digger" that type of judgment made me stay away from the very type of man I was genuinely aligned with. I didn’t want to be misunderstood. So I shrunk my desires and played it safe. And for that, I paid the price. As I got older, that stigma stuck. I found myself in a pattern of relationships with users, losers, and opportunists—men who took and took and gave nothing back. Men who drained my spirit, my finances, my peace. And I let it happen, because somewhere deep down, I still felt like I ...

When Nothing Is Happening, Make Shit Happen!

By The Artful Woman
June was slow. Like, dead quiet slow. No business. No momentum. It felt like everything was stuck. So I did something totally ordinary—but energetically powerful. I had a yard sale. Not just to make money (though that helped). I needed to MOVE energy. To release things. To stir the pot. To show the Universe that I wasn’t just going to sit there waiting. I was going to make shit happen . And guess what? I went from zero bookings to FIVE bookings this month. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Money is energy. Movement is energy. Letting go is an invitation for more. Sometimes we think we have to wait until the “right thing” comes along, or until we “feel ready.” But the truth is, energy responds to action. When you move—even in a small way—you signal the Universe that you’re open, available, and in the flow . So if you’re in a lull, don’t panic. Clean your space. Sell stuff. Shake things up. Move your body. Make a call. Say yes to something random. Create momentum from where...
