Nine of Waters - Embracing where and who I am in this moment

Gaian Tarot, Nine of Waters, Joanna Powell Colbert
“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.

  1. 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. :)

    2. Bev such a beautiful description "Spirit with skin on". Who said that? I've heard it before, but don't remember where or who.

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