Dancing the Flamingo – Animal Apothecary Oracle Card

Don’t you hate being asked to buy into something without knowing what it is or how it works? Me too.

This is why, in return for bankrolling my Easy 7-Step card process and product Printable – Oracle Cards Worksheets, I will share with you a few of my Oracle card interpretations and meanings. To keep it interesting, I will only cover Steps 2-7.

If you have no idea what my Oracle cards process is, let alone why I think brain dumping is crucial to a fun, successful Oracle cards practice, you can quickly catch up by reading my Easy 7-Step Card Process article. Otherwise, let’s get into one right now!

Disclaimer – I don’t care about spelling, punctuation, or even if what I write down during brain dumping is correct – I just go with the flow. If it pops into my head, it goes on paper.

Do my card interpretations always Match with the Oracle Card guidebook? Nope, and that’s okay because what we come up with is usually way more exciting, and in most instances, more relevant to us.

Also, the layout below is a little different to my Etsy product Printable – Oracle Card Worksheets

Enjoy!

One legged stance – conserve energy? Balance

me: Inject more positive healthy foods + thoughts into your day – radiate what you want to receive back?

Be a happy shiny!

Hilton – Waikiki – have Flamingos – have stayed at The Flamingo in Vegas – the coldest winter in history. My Neighbour bought us a garden Flamingo – best present ever!! Fun in the sun = Flamingo – Florida

Step 6 – How did you do?

Not bad - I tend to associate Flamingos with Florida and cabaret, which makes it a little hard to go beyond showgirl fantails

How does this relate to what is going on in your life?

Keeping your negative inner dialogue in check is a constant battle – maybe I need a little Flamingo for my desk

Step 7 – Look up later:

Research – Where do Flamingos turn up apart from in Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland?

Fact Find– all things Flamingo, but especially symbolism from different cultures.

Curious – Perhaps monitor my thoughts for a few days – what do I need to tap on?
