For today I've drawn the Ten of Wands from the
Original Rider Waite Tarot. This is the
culmination of the suit of wands which can be an over load of tasks and
responsibilities but also an overload of plans and idea’s and creative
projects: the fun stuff. Look at the wands he is carrying; all of them have
budding leaves. Every idea and project is viable, so how in G’s name can we
leave one behind.
This man,
although his back hurts, is determined to go on. He is almost home where he can
store some of his wands in his shed.
Sometimes
life’s choices can overwhelm us. So many options to go for, so many great
opportunities to try. One seems even more attractive than the other. Just recently
I had pulled for myself the Ace
of Wands which I’ve read as a boost to get more things on the go and now in my
enthusiasm I have taken on to many
projects. This is not the balanced life I was searching for J
So for
today I will make a list of everything I want to do or create during the coming weeks and sort out what I really want
to do now and what can wait a little while longer. Also it is a good
thing to realize I cannot be in control of everything around me. Sometimes I have
to let go of some things and trust they will be able to survive on their own
for a while in my shed.
Tee hee, love this idea of storing some of those wands in your shed! Good luck with your to-do list, Ellen :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kerry !
DeleteI guess your shed is crammed at the moment :D
"Every idea and project is viable, so how in G’s name can we leave one behind."
ReplyDeleteThis so describes my head space when I have it full of good, creative ideas! And as you alluded to, nothing much gets accomplished because I can't do it all at once. One thing at a time! :)
ha ha I know how you feel. Sometimes having so many ideas can be even paralyzing.
DeletePerhaps the first thing to do is build that shed :D
A list is a wonderful idea. Maybe only list 10 items, one for each wand. Then, separate into three piles: Now, Soon, and Later (or something to that level). Only two can go in Now. Three can go in Soon. And the rest put in Later. Then fold the paper so you only see Now. Have fun! Just what you wanted right, an assignment from one of your readers. :)
ReplyDeleteYou could also meditate on this card. Ask each wand what it represents. You may be surprised at why you carry with you. Half the load may be useless material.
Good luck finding that balanced life.
I think this is a great idea! And so organized as well.
DeleteMeditating on the Ten of Wands: I am already curious what will will come up. Thank you for some very practical and fun idea's Cher! They are ever so welcome!
