The Full Moon in January is often called the Wolf Moon. This name originates
from America. During the winter wolves
would come very near the villages of the
Native Americans and howled. They were hungry because there was so much snow and
finding food was extremely difficult. Therefore, the villagers called the full
moon in January: The Wolf Moon.
Question
for a daily draw: What am I hungry for? And
I pulled the Seven of Stones from the Chrysalis Tarot.
The keyword
for this card is Regret. Well that is not what I am hungry for but I see this
card as the very moment this girl has enough of her own wallowing in too many regrets.
This is the moment she is considering to put her pan flute to her lips and blow
a cheerful tune. Sometimes enough is enough and all you can do is accept the
past because there is nothing you can do to change it. Try to embrace its lessons
and continue to follow your path; step by step, day by day.
So I am hungry
for following this river to wherever it may lead me; I am hungry for the flow
of life without these stagnating blocks of guilt and regret.
What a lovely card, and I like your idea of using the Wolf Moon as a focus. I am reminded of the looking back and looking forward I tend to do at this time of year. There are always things I wish I could have done differently, but I can see those as lessons learned. But in the card, I do see a few red flowers blooming - I would say those are the things she did right!
ReplyDeleteThanks for interpreting the red flowers, That makes a lot of sens to me. Yes this is the time of year to look forward and backward just like Janus the two headed the Roman god of beginning and endings to whom January is named
DeleteEllen, I love the Wolf Moon, but not the Cold Moon! But we can't have the Flower Moon without the Cold Moon (Wolf Moon). Yes there is lots of green life growing there, and seven a great spiritual number. <3
ReplyDeleteMetaphorically speaking yes, we cannot have the one without the other.
DeleteBut in real life I do enjoy the cold and the snow. I wish we has some more of it. Here it almost feels like the beginning of February :(
Hugs
That is a beautiful interpretation Ellen. I drew Death, which in the Collective Tarot is a picture of a snake shedding its skin, and got a bit of a similar message, time to shed the past, the guilt, the regret and the "if only" thoughts. The present is the only place where we have power. <3

Thanks Sarah!
DeleteI like that we have had similar messages with such different cards.
Yes the present is the time and place to be :)
It's interesting, I really don't see regret in that image. I see someone who has found their way home after a long journey, and who sings to the plants and stones, growing beauty around them :)
ReplyDeleteMostly I see it reflected in her facial expression and her protective and closed posture. But your interpretation is as valid as any other. That is what I like about reading cards :)
