Storytelling
with tarot is something I really love to do. Mostly when my card of the day is not quite what I expected or hoped for, I
start asking questions and drawing more cards until the story unfolds and the message
becomes clear to me.
Today I started
out with the Eight of Cups from the Legacy of the Divine Tarot. Usually I love pulling this card. It gives me permission
to leave everything behind and to spend some quality alone time but today it
felt a bit challenging so soon after all the shadow work I have been doing last
month. My initial reactions was: "Oh no, not again!" So I pulled the Four of Cups, where a man is longing for the cup in the sky and doesn’t see the beautiful
ones in the grass. This card tells me how I felt in the beginning of October. I
had all those grand ideas of how I would spiritually grow and although I did grow/change, it was so entirely different than I expected
it to be. And the Three of Coins is showing me how different it all was. I found
my creative fire again and the courage to do something with it. Up until now the cards
haven’t told me anything new. It all feels like a big intro to the main plot:
the Six of Swords. This card is all about a journey again. I think it is about taking
all the ideas of how finding creativity has been my “salvation” under
consideration and asking myself questions like: “Why do want to create? How do
I feel when I create? What part of me do I share with others when I create? Etc.
Making a painting is not the destination of the journey it is the beginning of
a new journey. And then I pulled the last card: Judgment which is to me the
call to an authentic life; when we step out of the box of who we thought we
were and to sing the song of our soul of who we really are.
