This Week's Oracle Deck Reading
The hippogriff is a legendary creature, supposedly the offspring of a griffin and a mare. The hippogriff has its legs firmly on the ground, but is clumsy until it spreads its majestic wings and soars high into the sky, where it is king. It is a symbol of our higher self, which raises us up from being egocentric to heavenly, and can rise to tremendous spiritual heights. Be careful, though. The hippogriff has sharp claws and needs to be shown great respect and caution.
​
In the few medieval legends when this fantastic creature makes an appearance, it is because it may very well be the pet of either a knight or a sorcerer.
​
The Hippogriff warns that people are not seeing you as you really are because lately you have been “grounded.” Your spirits are down and only your awkward, ungainly side is on display. It’s time to take to the air and fly.
​
Incantation: I spread my wings and now I soar, out of the doldrums with a loud roar. The higher I get, the freer I’ll be. With nothing weighing me down, I’ll shift back to the real me.

Magical Stone: Peacock Ore
Peacock ore, a common name for ores of iron and copper, is seemingly ordinary until it oxidizes, wherein it reveals vivid shades of gold, red, and peacock blue. This stone inspires curiosity, expands the mind, and has a balancing effect on those people who seem too grounded or afraid to reveal their true selves.
