“A woman enters a sacred sea cave and lifts her arms to
receive the embrace of the Ocean Mother. She sings a song of devotion as waves
crash and salt spray kisses her brow. As she sings in harmony with the rushing
wind and the tide, she enters into a mystical state of ecstasy. When she
leaves, she gathers nine white stones that carry the energy of the cave and the
song she sang to the Mother.”
This morning I drew the Nine of Waters from the
Gaian Tarot and seeing this card made me very happy on a deep emotional level. We often
interpret the Nine of Cups as the wish card but the woman in this card has everything her
heart desires. She is fully aware of the present moment and she is connected with Spirit with every fiber of her being. For now that is all I need. After the
emotional tide wave of last weekend I am grateful to get the message that all
is well and that Spirit mothers me when I need Her too.
I draw deeply from the well of my friendships with other women, whether "in person" or on the internet. They are often "Spirit with skin on" for me. :D It allows me to mother and be mothered in ways that might not be possible otherwise. What a lovely, heart-full card. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Bev. Even my daughters mother me from time to time.
Delete"Spirit with skin" I love that idea
Hugs
Bev such a beautiful description "Spirit with skin on". Who said that? I've heard it before, but don't remember where or who.

ReplyDeleteHugs :)
It is! if we only could remember how good it feels so we would want to return there more frequently.
DeleteOften this feeling is like quicksilver or a dream: when you want to grasp it slips away
