Today’s card is the Page of Disks (Pentacles)
from the Mary El tarot. And yes again it is a court card. It is almost if they tell me a story.
Yesterdays cub is todays new born baby. Swaddled in cloths and with two beautiful fabricated little shoes on
his tiny feet. He is ready to start his journey as a child of the earth. I am sure if he
would open his eyes, we would see the
deep blue color of the heavens he came from; this incarnated soul. He is so
perfect, so full of possibilities. The guidebook tells us our body is like a
shoe for our soul: The means to experience life during our earthly adventure. With our body we can learn and express
ourselves. We can feel and think and have access to all its possibilities. It is
up to us to take care for this beautiful gift and to make it strong and keep it
healthy, so it can help us and support to fulfill our destiny: making the most of our earthly
experience
So what
does this mean for me today? Although I am not a baby anymore and a lot of my
options have been ruled out along the way, there are still numerous changes and experiences to go
for and to enjoy. Often it is fear what is holding me back, so
this innocent little child so full of trust, also encourages me to be brave and
to try new things, starting with little things and go from there; one step at
the time
I am curious about the two strings that come from his center. Definitely not "puppet strings" because his hands and feet are not attached. Maybe that how he begins to learn about his world. Pull on this string for assistance and that one for entertainment. :D
ReplyDeleteAnd so he will enter the Two of Disks and start his ongoing search for balance :)
DeleteWhich is my card for the day, lol!
Deletejust curiousity, does the book indicate what that V shaped string is?
ReplyDeleteYou ARE on a run of courts!
I've just checked for you and no it doesn't and I don't know either
DeleteYes they seem to follow me around. :)
" our body is like a shoe for our soul ". What a great analogy. The two strings I have seen before. But I don't recall where.I wonder if it is symbolic of the cosmic thread that life is attached to. like the laces of the shoe? Fear, like guilt, there is both positive and negative. Learning the difference and making it useful that the life lesson for me Ellen.

For me too Cath, for me too :)
DeleteWhat a lovely image for the Page of Pentacles. I often see this card as being about the willingness to approach new physical experiences or learnings with a beginners mind, and you don't get much more beginner than that little fellow :) Hope you opened your heart to something new, even if just in baby steps!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kerry for your kind and always encouraging words. They mean a lot to me
DeleteHugs
"Our body is like a shoe for our soul". I love that quote.
ReplyDeleteI can see why this card reminds you of an Ace. Some decks confuse me in that way. There are few with Aces show angles or people holding the suit emblems - I often mix them up with the Pages.
Luckily we all can read the titles and/or numbers on the cards
