Is Brett Kavanaugh Responsible For threats To Christine Blasey Ford?


Amid all the upheaval about the Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, and allegations of sexual assault against Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, in 1982 when they were both in high school, I decided to see what the cards would tell me. I did a Celtic Cross reading, and the results were very interesting. As I shuffled the cards, the ten of wands fell out, and landed reversed. The ten of wands in reversal forecasts treachery and duplicity, which is rather ominous, considering the question.

The reading begins with the King of Wands, reversed, crossed by the four of cups, also read reversed, here. The reversed King of Wands is an unyielding, argumentative man, and I am going to assume that he represents Brett Kavanaugh. When the four of cups falls reversed, it betokens new and novel approaches to problems. This is beginning to appear as if Mr. Kavanaugh is looking ways other than simply telling the truth in order to manage the situation he is in, with the allegations. Beneath this, we have the six of cups, reversed. Often, this card in reversal tells about someone who clings desperately to outworn ideals and notions, but sometimes, it also tells of a "gift" from the past! And so he has one!

The four of pentacles shows up in the place of matters moving into the past. This is a love of political power, and, once again, clinging to that which is no longer useful. As a flipside to this interpretation, Mr. Kavanaugh's "usefulness" to Donald Trump may be on the decline.

As a hope on the part of Mr. Kavanaugh, we are getting the seven of cups. Mr. Kavanaugh has scattered his resources in too many directions, and the best thing for him to do would be to ground himself and recognize that he cannot change history and no longer controls the narrative, here. In the very near future, we have the five of pentacles, which shows that Mr. Kavanaugh is not only worried, but losing support, even among his own party. Sometimes, this card refers to a sexual conquest that did not work out. Hmmmm. I am inclined to conclude that he is culpable and that Dr. Ford is telling the truth.

In the place of fears, we see the eight of cups, which tells us that Mr. Kavanaugh is afraid that after he has come this far, he will have to abandon his course of action. Next, in the place of environment, we have the nine of swords, which means worry, doubt, delay, misery, and the like. That is what's eating Mr. Kavanaugh, right now. The Tower, reversed, appears in the place of hopes. While Mr. Kavanaugh feels oppressed, he is hoping to impose the same feelings on Dr. Ford. His personal threats to her probably involve legal repercussions, (he's a public figure, so he does not have that recourse) but if she was harmed in any way, he would not mind a bit. The last card is the High Priestess, reversed. This is surface knowledge and conceit. It is also very telling; some of the threats actually are coming from sources closer to Mr. Kavanaugh than suspected. He may not be able to recite the threats, word for word, but he is aware that this is being done on his behalf. This explains the "creative" approach shown by the reversed King of Wands crossed by the reversed four of cups. The treachery described by the reversed ten of wands also screams that his camp bears some responsibility. Luckily, U.S.Marshals are looking into this.

Honing In On Brian Patrick Miller

The question of how to find Brian Miller was posed to me, and he still has not been found, seen or heard from, so I will put this question to the Tarot, and see if any new ideas result.

We start with Temperance, crossed by the four of pentacles in answer to the question of how Brian can be found. So it looks like we have the beginnings of a good mixture of investigative skills suddenly shut down, via information being withheld, for some reason. Beneath this is the ten of wands, reversed, which bespeaks duplicity. But is this on the part of law enforcement or a witness? The next card is the ace of pentacles. Somehow, this seems like a lead or a tip, when it appears in relation to this question. As a location, it refers to earth, and possibly a small flower garden. 

A distinct possibility here is described by the eight of pentacles, reversed, which tells me that we are looking at an unethical use of skills somewhere in the investigation, so that helps to answer the question concerning who would withhold information. This is followed by the seven of cups, which is delusions of grandeur, or lots of discussion about unrealistic possibilities. So a definite problem exists in the investigation. 

The Knight of Pentacles appears in the place of fears. There is some perceived reason for someone to be afraid of Brian being found. In the place of environment, we have the High Priestess, reversed, which is feminine influence and superficiality. Somewhere, connected to this case, is a woman who delivers half truths and gets away with evasiveness with law enforcement. Not enough is known about her connection to Brian's case to force her to testify. Also, as a location, the seven of cups and the High Priestess would indicate water. I would say water, pillars, palm trees, and perhaps a statue. The three of cups appears as a desire, which is obviously the desire to find Brian and have a happy ending to this story. It is also another water card, but this time, it's mundane location description is, once again, of a garden; possibly at an estate or a house where lavish parties have been thrown. The last card here is the Queen of Swords, letting us know that in order to cut to the chase, a court order will be required. This Queen represents legal or judicial authority; she may be a prosecutor or a judge. It may be a good idea to write a letter to whoever oversees the agency responsible for the investigation, or for Brian's family to contact their state representative, and get the ball rolling that way.

Dylan Redwine

 
Dylan Redwine, of Colorado, was last seen a week ago, at his father's home near Durango, Colorado. He was supposed to visit his father for the Thanksgiving holiday. There is now a search in progress for him. My question is, what happened to Dylan, and where is he?

We start with the ten of cups, reversed, crossed by the four of wands. This gives a message of unhappiness in the home, crossed by some sort of happy event, or haven. Beneath this, we have the hierophant, who represents tradition. This could either be a minister, counselor, priest or mentor of some sort, whose guidance had helped Dylan in the past. Or it could be an institution representing tradition, such as a church or a school that had a positive effect on Dylan. Either way, it was something Dylan wanted back. Also in the past, we have the Page of Wands, which is usually a message of some kind, but in this reading, I think it represents Dylan. I also think something he had tried to tell others in his situation was not properly heard. The next card, in the place of things that have not yet come to pass, is the Empress, which is the "mother" card in the Tarot. She is also the very best result here, and the very best person for Dylan right now. The next card, in the place of things that either will happen or are happening, is Judgement, reversed, which tells of separation and fear. Sometimes it even speaks of fear of death. There is something outside of Dylan's control right now, separating him from where he wants to be, and from where he is safe. I do not believe he ran away.

In the place of fears, we find this reinforced by the two of wands, reversed, telling us of betrayals, fear, domination, and the fear of being overpowered. In the place of environment, we find the Moon, which, in this reading, speaks of things hidden or disguised, and of deception. Wherever Dylan is, he is hidden, and I think water is somehow part of the picture. For a direction, this card points us west. The eight of cups, reversed, is in the place of Dylan's hopes; this tells me that if Dylan could reverse the choice he made that got him into this situation, he would do so. And then we have the Page of Swords, as the final outcome, as another young person who is watching everyone search. For good or for ill, this person knows where Dylan is, yet has not come forward. His numeric value is eleven, and his direction would be east. Swords occasionally tells us of cyber communications.

My sense of this is that Dylan is alive.......I sincerely hope I am right. I will keep praying for his safe return, and I will come back to this if he is not home within a few days.
