| Crystal Visions Tarot |
After a day to recover; feeling somewhat down
and tired (Christmas blues), I pulled myself a card from the Crystal Visions Tarot.
My go to deck when I’m feeling slightly vulnerable. It's such a gentle lovely
deck with a soothing color palette. I’ve got The Four of Pentacles. What a
practical card for the last day before Christmas. It is to me a warning not to
spend too much on food and drinks (we don’t do gifts with Christmas) I think I'm rather frugal most of the times, but now and then you have to slacken the
reins. But when I look a little bit longer, I can sympathize on a deeper level
with this creature in the tree. His is anxious to lose his pentacles. Pentacles
represent not only money but also physical health and everything in the material
world. Sometimes we just do need things to feel good. They comfort us. It can
be food or a deck but also a touch, a hug, a walk, a shower, music; everything
that is soft and caring for the senses (did you know I sometimes sniff at my
decks or books) In my opinion we should hold on to those delights as long as we're able too. We live in this world so we’d better enjoy it. I think when you
live your life with all your senses wide open you are living it to the fullest.
This little guy in the trees did deserve it to not be compared with Scrooge just before Christmas.
So I think I will take his advice and enjoy my things and experiences with
more regard and gratefulness
I love the way books smell too - it's why I never wanted a Kindle or other sort of device. :) Yes I think this fairy recommends taking gentle care of yourself, especially as the holidays approach.
ReplyDeleteI've treated myself on such a thing and I love it. Especially reading in bed is so much more easy then with a heavy book. Although it doesn't smell right it reads like a charm :)
DeleteI am glad you are feeling better. A pretty card. I think it does say for you to let yourself go off your normal routines and habits ... if only for a bit. It might just help you see things in a different perspective as well. Ah yes, books. Love love books. Many years ago I work in the main library in town and what a wonderful place to work. Why did I ever leave. I will never part with my books.
ReplyDeleteLetting go of routines is easy during the holidays! Reading and writing are my to main passions. They both make me so happy. So I am certain going to make room for that
DeleteEnjoying your senses sounds such a beautiful thing to do. It fits my idea of Christmas, too. It's not about the cost of the gifts or the food. Not even just about the taste of the food, but also the smells, and even trying to make things look pretty. Wishing you a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteSmells. ..That is one of the reasons I am baking my own Christmas bread right now. Wishing you a beautiful fragrant Christmas :)
