Taking a moment…

After the intense experiences of last month it is time to settle down a bit. To let my feelings simmer and to try to blend my rekindled inner fire into the watery aspects of my personality. For today I've drawn one card from  Soul Cards 2 and from the Wild Unknown Tarot I got the Son of Wands.
The Wild Unknown Tarot, Soul Cards 2 Son of Wands
These two cards represent this need perfectly. For today I identify with the person in the middle. Although she isn’t looking at the Son of Wands, she can clearly feel his warmth and energy buzzing behind her. Her eyes are focused. on the lovely woman before her, who I see as a depiction of the Divine Feminine. Their hands  are touching and the same energy as in the Son of Wands card is now flowing directly into the woman in the middle.  Where the Son of Wands is sending out his energy to wherever it wants to go, the flow of the Divine Feminine is more controlled and gentle. Just now I noticed how the red and the yellow are actually blending with the blue hues of the woman in the middle into purples and greens…
This tells me that when I take time to really embrace my fire it will not only give me the courage to create and step out of the box but also a new found inner wisdom (purple) and compassion towards others (green)

  1. Hi Ellen.

    I follow you on Instagram.

    I think what you see in these cards is so practical and so kind, something you can enter into and live.

    I want you to know that I'm so glad you share your thoughts and experience here on your blog and on IG. I wish that we could sit and talk about tarot and life and dogs and gardens and whatever else.



    Best to you and your family,
    Joy

    1. Hi Joy
      How lovely to meet you here!
      The Soul Cards are very intuitive to work with. There is no guidebook and there're no keywords on the cards. So you can never get it wrong and I love that!
      I would like that too for now but lets be grateful for the internet which opens so many doors to like minded people all over the world
      Hugs!

  2. The snake and the Soul Cards woman seem to almost make a sacred container around the person in the middle. Support for the outward you and the inward you. :)

  3. I totally get that sense of the divine feminine from the Soul Cards 2 image - beautiful! And it is marvellous the way the colours echo one another. I hope you enjoy this time of integration, and feel yourself nurtured and supported to find the right balance for you now :)

    1. Thanks Catherine! This is very meaningful and surprising journey for me indeed. Taking it one step at the time without trying to plan it too much ahead. :)

  5. That Soul Card looks lovely. I really like the combination of colors. It definitely is interesting how the two cards flow together.

    And funny that you pulled the Son of Wands...seeing as its equivalent to the Knight of Wands which was your problem card for the Shadow Work challenge. He just keeps popping up as a reminder! ha ha.

  7. This is such a natural expression of what you've shared with us, Ellen, about your process with the month of shadow work. So gentle and yet there is some dynamism there, too. Just lovely!
