Six of Staves –Moving on to the next chapter

Goddess Tarot Six of Staves, Six of Wands
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

    1. Yes often it is that inner shift which makes a great difference; like when you know when someone is in love :D

  2. I 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! :)

    1. You 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

  3. I'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.

    1. I 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 :)
      Ha ha! And you have so many decks. It is rather cheap on Book Depository if you buy the deck only.
