Flying high

The Enchanted Map Oracle Cards
Today’s card is “Flying” from the Enchanted Map Oracle Cards by Colette Baron-Reid.
To be honest I've felt a little bit lost today. Recently I've had every day a subject to draw a card for but now that’s over and done. So here I am sitting in front of my laptop with my too familiar inner critic on my lap. And isn't  that rascal having fun. J
But the cards came to the rescue. Flying high! With the subtext: “You have the power to see things from a higher perspective”
This is a part of the uplifting message from the guidebook: “If you were a bird flying high in the air, what would you see? When you soar above life’s challenges and opportunities, a new perspective becomes available.. ..You have the ability to reach for the stars and find the one with you name on it spread you wings and soar.” It’s so empowering to take a step back and see the whole picture instead of the itty bitty parts. You know immediately what’s really important and what's not. And if I soar there is no rascal in site. There is just an immense feeling of freedom and possibilities. Yay, there’re the words I‘ve been waiting for: Freedom and possibilities. I see this card as a portal to my own way of writing this blog. I am free to write how, what and when I want to. No more challenges, no more commitments, at least not for some time. Just me and my laptop and my most beloved decks J

  1. Beautiful post and beautiful card! You are very right, it's true; it's crucial to take distance and have a different view of the things (or the worries we have), this will bring us light and surely, clues for solving it. Muchas Estrellas!!!!

    1. Hi LM!
      Some times we need a card to remind us to take a step back.I hope one day it will be a natural behaviour. :)
      Lots of stars for you to.

  4. What a beautiful card, Ellen. I notice the rainbow colours of this winged horse, which remind me of merry-go-rounds at the funfair. Life goes around and around, and we have to lift above the everyday to see it. Still, it's also fun to connect to that childlike joy in going where inspiration and imagination take you :D Will look forward to reading where you travel!
