Yesterday I
was busy cleaning and clearing my little
house in the forest (Four of Spirals). I swept the floor, polished the windows
and dusted the furniture. This morning I opened the door and stepped outside to
take a breath of fresh air and I wondered who would want to come by and visit
me on this beautiful summer morning; which energy would want to dwell in my clean
house?
How baffled
I was when I pulled Gaia the Empress from my Chrysalis Tarot Deck. Just a few
days ago I wondered why I almost never pull this card. The last time I pulled The
Empress was in November 2015 and now here she is today, beautifully “dressed in
the garb of Summer”, on my doorstep of my little house in the forest. Politely I invited her in but naturally she preferred to
take a walk outside. So many things I could have asked her but the only thing I
did was enjoying her presence and basking in her radiant beauty. She teaches us
to enjoy the abundance of her creation on heart level. Stop asking questions and
thinking about the how and why, just enjoy life and be inspired by her
creativity. It seemed we were walking for ever or maybe just for a minute but
however long it was it was enough and I was fulfilled. When I came home, my little
forest house was filled with her fragrance of flowers, fruits and a touch of
earth...
How beautiful! I'm so glad she has made a return visit to your home! I think I'm going to take a walk myself. This morning is the first bit of sun I've seen in awhile, should enjoy it while it lasts! :)
ReplyDeleteMe too I've missed her! Enjoy the sunshine my friend!
DeleteSuch a great message to just enjoy and experience life. I had a friend who went out west and spent time in the redwood forest. All he talked about later was how frustrating it was not to be able to photograph them well because they were so big. I can just see Gaia rolling her eyes at him! :D
ReplyDeleteI'll bet She made them that big on purpose so he wouldn't be able to hide behind his camera :)
Deletewell said, we rush be today to ready for tomorrow and tomorrow never comes
ReplyDeleteThis moment is all we have so we'd better enjoy it :)
DeleteI love the Empress. She reminds me of the Heroine and the great mother goddess that all women are meant to be.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking this afternoon as I came in from outside after gathering up my blankets and sheets off of the clothes line, how much I have enjoyed the ordinary activity of the day. It's been a soft rain with mist and breaks of sunshine. The air was full of Spring sweetness, all the trees full with buds, everything so lush, green and growing filled with the promises of Spring.
Your post in very positive, inspiring and uplifting Ellen.
Yesterday the Hummingbirds arrived buzzing around the feeders and today I changed my flannel blankets for cotton sheets, before luxuriating in the tub. I'll enjoy my bed tonight!
Definitely affirmations that Spring has arrived and so has the Empress!
Bright Spring blessings to you Ellen! XO
Thanks you for your Spring blessing my dear Cathy! and also for sharing this part of your day with us. Sleep well!!
DeleteThat is a beautiful Empress card. Full of promise, joy, hope, and renewal. I hope you had a lovely walk with her.
ReplyDeleteI did and it felt good to connect to the Divine Feminine in this little forest fantasy
DeleteI, too, rarely pull this card. It was so nice to tag along for your outside amble with the Empress.
ReplyDeleteYou should have come over then we would have been like the Three of Cups :D
DeleteThis is such a beautiful post, from start to finish! I love that Gaia came to visit you in your newly freshened forest home - that is a great image :) And I love that she left behind the essence of her being, a reminder that she'd been by. I miss the northern forests. Down here in Florida nature is abundant, but has quite a different feel than the wild that I grew up with. I even miss little things like walking barefoot in soft grass (the grass down here is rather coarse and tends to hid all sorts of insects and spiders!). Your post is like a breath of northern air :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Olivia I can imagine this longing for the Northern landscape is now even stronger while your are contemplating the Norse gods and goddesses :)
DeleteYou remind me how very beautiful this deck is! And I've been doing some of that, too, just sitting and enjoying the sunshine :) Wishing you a bright and beautiful week, dear friend :D
ReplyDeleteThank you Chloe! Wishing you a wonderful week too!!
