For today I've
pulled “Diving for Light” from the Sacred
Rebels Oracle. We see a beautiful dressed and coiffured lady, who has taken the leap
and plunged herself into the waters of her subconscious. She has wheat in her
hear and seahorses as adornments. For me it says that she is still awake and
aware while being guided on her spiritual journey.
This card
calls us to find our inner Light deep inside us, in places where we will expect
to find them the least: In the dark corners of your heart, in the shadows of
your soul and the cobwebs in your mind. The places you've “forgotten” all about
but still have a strong grip on you during your daily life. Each difficult experience
and period of your life brings also gifts beside the grief and the hurt they
carry. All too often these gifts get overlooked because we are so busy trying
to coop, to forget or to repress.To discover them we have to find the courage to dive deep, to accept the darkness, embrace the pain and gather the gifts.
Yesterday I
felt inspired by Kerry’s post on Neopagan Priestess where she told us she was inspired by me talking about
mandala’s. Right there and then I picked
up a piece of paper and started drawing too. First I drew three concentric circles
and a few lines as guidelines but I found
the courage to skip the drawing of a “perfect” mandala with pencil and started
right away with paint and crayons and colored pencils. It was so much fun to do
.
Feeling creatively
blocked is kind of a dark place for me. Not feeling good enough, feeling unsecure
and afraid of failing is always lurking in the corner of my mind. I feel like I
have dived deep and found a little fearless gem
by making this mandala. J
