There is enough love to go around

Wildwood Tarot
Sometimes when someone shares a problem or their pain, old wounds are scratched and too much pain is revealed. A lot of talking, holding and loving is needed to ease the emotions and the pain again. What stays is the love between me and my daughters. I am so grateful that we always can find our  way back to each other. 
When I asked the cards: what is needed to affirm the peace and quiet among us? The Wildwood Tarot gave me The Eight of Bows – Hearthfire. 
This is an appropriate card : it tells us about the love and the friendship which can endure hardship and struggles.  According to the book these people celebrate the fact they endure, strive and survive. The most important things to them is the warmth of this fire, the food and drinks, to share it with loved ones and to listen to and laugh with each other. We don’t have a hearth fire in our home. But I do have a large candle which I light every afternoon when the sun is setting. It is for me a symbol of life and warmth and love.  After such an emotional collision I am always so grateful for the love we share in this family. And the more we give, the more we receive J

    I think this is one of my favorite people-centered cards of the Wildwood. I don't have a fireplace either, but years ago, I bought a chimnea to put in my meditation room. I have a bit of sand in the bottom with a group of candles sitting on top. So now I have a "hearth"! :)

      Yes we can and the beauty of an emotional outburst is that the love and understanding afterwards are felt much stronger

    That sense of a support network, a group with whom you can talk about anything, share the good and the bad, is so beautiful. I'm so glad to hear you have that with your daughters, and they with you! (((Hugs)))
