The fool - The Magic of a Fresh Outlook

The druidcraft tarot The Fool
The last couple of days I’ve been having a lot of fun with my Lenormand cards,  so for today, just like in my previous post, I have pulled one tarot card as a focus for my daily three card Lenormand spread. My tarot card  for today is The Fool from the Druidcraft Tarot.
This card is all about naivete and innocence; about seeing the world through the eyes of child with wonder and amazement, as if today is the first day of our life. So the question that came to mind was: What do I need to be open, carefree and content about? What do I need to experience today as if it was the first time?
And I pulled from the Celtic Lenormand: fox, ring and tree.
The ring stands for commitments and relationships. The Tree card tells me this is not about casual relationships but more about long standing family ties, deep rooted but often with gnarls, cracks and broken branches. And then like in all families often the fox comes around to emphasize the nasty little irritations we all have gathered over the years.

Some even have turned into festering wounds of unmet desires and expectations. Often this says more about us than about them, so how do we shut up this deceiving inner voice who seeks out the tiny cracks and flaws in our commitments? I think if we were to look at our loved ones like we did the day we realized we loved them, everything else would be trifling and meaningless…

So this morning I have visited my husband and we had a very pleasant get together indeed. I will also try to  keep this message in mind when I address M and my mother today. I suspect it will make all the difference.

  3. I love the artwork in the deck of Celtic Lenormand. It gives you/us a lot to think of. Thanks for sharing. I believe a new deck is in order. I love your interpretation of the tree. Old wounds healed but still a part of us.

  4. I so agree with Sharyn and Bev: words to live by! Seeing our nearest and dearest with eyes of love can make all the difference to how we respond to them. For me, that's not quite the same as when I first loved them: my boys are growing up so fast, and I need to find that love of who they are now, not just who they were... A great interpretation of the Fox as our own inner voice deceiving us, pointing up the bad bits so we forget the good. And it reminds me of my gratitude practice, which came up in my own reading today - such a powerful way to keep seeing the good in new and fresh ways :)
    I'm so glad you had a good time with your husband, and good luck keep those "soft eyes" with M and your mother, too!

    1. Thank you Carol! Sometimes the cards do make a lot of sens but sometimes (like this morning) they talk gibberish :D
