Sometimes Tarot reads like a magical
illustrated storybook. Since I’ve been reading with the Goddess tarot, the
cards seem to follow each other up like the chapters in a book or in any case
they seem to follow the windings of my
journey perfectly. Today I've decided it would be the last day with the Goddess
tarot. I knew I liked the look of this deck but I am surprised how wonderful we
are getting along. The card I’ve drawn for today couldn't be more fitting: the
Six of Staves. After the journey through the woods of two day ago, where it was so
difficult to find our way and to choose the right path here we see a smiling woman
returning into the world with a laurel wreath on her stave. She has victoriously
overcome her challenges is and is now ready to enter the next winding of her spiraling
journey. Notice how she is celebrating this on her own. There is no need for a cheering
crowd. People may see the change in her posture or in her smile but only she
knows about the secrets she has unraveled in the woods. She is her own hero….moving
on to the next chapter of her life
“You don't just have a story - you're a story in the
making, and you never know what the next chapter's going to be. That's what
makes it exciting.” Dan Millman
How beautiful, Ellen! Love your description of this woman sitting straighter and smiling, secure in her own inner triumph :D
ReplyDeleteYes often it is that inner shift which makes a great difference; like when you know when someone is in love :D
DeleteI think when you've got your groove back, there's definitely a change in posture, a willingness to look people in the eye. But the greatest changes are the ones that can't be seen because they're on the inside! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are right. And I think some things you just want to keep for yourself: experiences, insights etc. I belief everyone of us has a beautiful crafted treasure box somewhere deep down inside with their own private collection keepsakes, memories and wisdom
DeleteI've enjoyed your work with this deck, and thought I'd pull out mine for next week. Except it is a Kris Waldheer I don't have! I love her art.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you liked it Sharyn. It is a lovely deck to work with, so you will be seeing a lot more of it here :)
DeleteHa ha! And you have so many decks. It is rather cheap on Book Depository if you buy the deck only.
