October 25: In the autumn hedgehogs do need lots of food to build reserves for hibernation.
In late November they go find a place to sleep. Which cozy warm place can I make for myself now winter is coming?

First I've
pulled Death from the Druidcraft Tarot. That didn't feel right at all. How can
Death be symbolizing my warm cozy place. So I pulled another card as a
clarifier: The wheel. Not so cozy either. Honestly I am lost for words at this moment.
But these are my cards and I’m sure they can teach me something….
To be able
to enjoy the warmth and coziness of winter I want to achieve a relaxed state of
mind; not too much worries and difficult decisions on the lurk
Death can
help me with that. This card is all about letting go what serves me no more.
And I tend to cling on to old stagnating problems, patterns and worries. (eight
of swords). Or perhaps I can confront some of them in a healing way and put them
in my cauldron of rebirth so their energies can serve me in a more healthy way.
The wheel
is also all about patterns and cycles, harvesting and letting go and then moving
forward. This cards teaches us also about inevitability. Sometimes life is what
it is and we just have to accept it. The woman in the card is drawing her circle
and she is making a place for herself between the worlds. She’s putting up a boundary
between her and the rest of the world. In her hand she’s holding the symbol of the wheel of the year.

Writing
about these two cards is helping me to find meaning for myself right now. If I
want to enjoy the coziness in my home and with my family I have to set out time
for myself to explore The wheel of the year’s cycles an patterns as well as my
own. And while doing so I want to try finally to let go of some old pains and
grief and limiting beliefs.
This
reading feels for me like a Samhain reading. The time of year to start over
from scratch; to dive deep in the dark caves of my soul in winter and find there
the seeds for new live in spring.
These two
cards will be on my altar until after Samhain that’s for sure.
It is funny
In the beginning of this post I just hardly knew what to write and now I am so
sure these were the right cards for me J
Great insight into these cards! It made me think of our street curb that often gets blocked by all the falling pinestraw. When it rains, it can't run down to the storm drain; we have to clear the leaves and straw to ge the flow going.
ReplyDeleteExactly! So let's get a rake and roll our sleeves up :)
DeleteThis kind of readings always energize me to get started and change something :)
This is one of the great joys of blogging. We come to the meaning of our draw through our rambling thoughts about it. My blog posts are always posted exactly as they came out of my fingers, first draft. (Usually with original typos left in as well!) :) Looks like you are in an amazing place of transformation and growth now.
ReplyDeleteYes, for me writing is like thinking on paper/laptop. The free flow of my words can unravel idea's I've never thought of before. :)
DeleteAll good stuff! Also, perhaps the Death card is telling you that your cozy place is sitting inside by the warm hearth, as evening falls :)
ReplyDeleteLol, I hadn't noticed that! But I'm sure I'll never forget it either :)
DeleteThanks!
