Yesterday, after
an exchange of thoughts with Sycamore about her last post: “Where the Heart is”
, I started thinking about how hard
it is for many of us to discover what we really want deep down inside. My
wishes are most of the time the “good girl” wishes and I wonder if that is all there is. Could it
be I am afraid of my own buried desires? Or perhaps of my undiscovered “greatness” J. Sometimes we put our light under the
basket instead of on a stand mostly out of a false sense of modesty. That’s
how a lot of us were brought up.
And what have
the cards to say about this? Well they couldn't be more clear today. I drew
these three cards without set positions just to read them as a story-line:
Legacy of the Divine Tarot |
The Four of Cups tells us how hard it is to find that one cup that gives us the most
pleasure; our true passion. Some cups are just fine but mostly they contain convenient
and dull wishes, which keep us satisfied in our day to day lives
The Knight of Cups challenges us to follow our intuition and to pick up that one cup that truly belongs
to us, to channel all our creativity and passion into it and go for..
The World.
This is how we all can feel if we treasure our dreams and follow through on
them.
Gilded Reverie Lenormand |
How we
bring this wonderful idea into practice? That is when the Lenormand comes in
play
Scythe+ mountain+
Child
For me it is
becoming very obvious: We have to cut away inner blockages and let our inner child
play. I am certain that trough playing and experimenting we are all able to find
what really makes our soul truly sing.
You are so right! Girls especially were raised to be "good" and always put others first and yourself last when I was growing up. And the underlying implication was "never rock the boat." Always do what is expected of you. Which makes great little robots but not very happy humans! Those two decks work very well together. :)
ReplyDeletePerhaps now we are “old” enough to do something to make us happy without it being responsible or “good” .For today we could just make a list with all those things we wanted but never dared, weren’t allowed or we were told is wasn’t possible . It could be fun :D
DeleteWhat a wonderful reading. It resonated very strongly with me as I'm in a Four of Cups, Seven of Cups stagnation right now trying to decide which cup is the one that truly resides in my heart. Thanks Ellen
ReplyDeleteYour welcome! And what a coincidence because tomorrow I have planned a post about the seven of cups, so stay tuned :D
DeleteOh, I love your answer - to find what keeps us feeling playful and joyful. Makes me think of this guy with an unpronounceable name who talks about Flow - the things we do where we get so caught up in it we forget the time and everything else. For me, that is one good sign that something holds my heart, and is truly "fun", even if it is also officially "work" :)
ReplyDeleteYou mean,Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (lol)
DeleteI think it is so important to keep on the look out for such things and even more important is to make time for them. :D
Yes, and yes :D
