Today’s card it Justice from the Druidcraft
Tarot. We see a woman dressed in shades of blue and purple sitting
on a slab of stone. She has a sword in her right hand with a pair of bronze
looking testes as its hilt. In her left hand she holds balanced scales. She has
an owl to her right as a symbol of wisdom and seeing in the dark to discover
secrets and a spider to her left weaving it web in a bush, which shows the
interconnection of everything.
Although
this is a Celtic themed deck I immediately was reminded of the Greek goddess
Athena. But this woman is Brigh who was both druid as judge in pre-Christian
Ireland.
Justice is
calling upon our discernment to do the right thing, say the right words and
make the right decision after carefully consideration of the all facts. Justice
calls for choices not for impulsive reactions
With
clarity and fairness she decides for the good of all because she knows every
decision has numerous consequences (spider) not only for the here and now but
also, and maybe even more for the future (testes). Everything we
do or say has an impact for our future how insignificant the decision might
seem.
For today I
will try to make the right decisions for the here and now by taking the wisdom,
gained in my past, into consideration and with compassion for the future.
I don't think I've ever noticed the spider in this card, but I really like its inclusion. I would like to think the choices I make don't affect other people, but I am like a thread in that web; the vibrations I cause are felt throughout.
ReplyDeleteI had the same experience with the testes :)
DeleteI like to believe everything is connected and we are part of the whole. but is also also leaves us with the great responsibility to make the right choices
Ay, making the right decisions is so hard. We may not know what is right until long after the fact. Still, in the moment all you can do is your best, and experience is certainly a helpful yardstick. Hope you had a good and balanced day, Ellen :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kerry. That is a good advice to keep at heart
DeleteI hope for you the same my friend
