The Sun - Finding Peace

Druidcraft Tarot The Sun
Today’s card is the Sun from the Druidcraft Tarot. We see a boy riding a horse on a summer's day. The sun is directly behind his head so we can only see its rays. This card is about everything joyful and happy we can think of.  It's also about confidence and vitality, about having the courage to put yourself and your talents out there,  so everyone can see how magnificent you truly are. But too often we don’t; feel like this and we are tempted to chase this illusive happiness in the outer world. We buy things, we eat things and yes they do make us happy, for a while, and then we have to hunt for more.
So my question for the Celtic Lenormand was: where to find a more lasting joy and I was quite surprised by the cards I pulled:

Lily + Cross + bear

Celtic Lenormand lily cross bear
In the center there is the cross; for me the card of spiritual beliefs and faith. In this context I see the lily as a symbol of harmony and inner peace. The bear is all about strength and courage and standing up for who you are and what you believe. These cards tell me that instead of chasing  happiness, I should turn inside to my spiritual beliefs and find there the inner peace and strength to bask in that sunlight which is a beautiful symbol of the Divine light shining from without and within every moment of our life. (whether we are aware of it or not)

  1. He does seem to radiate from within, doesn't he? And what great Lenormand cards to pull to reinforce that message!

    1. Yes it is a distinct difference from the Rider Waite version with the sun looking down on the child.

  3. I like that Sun. And the radiance does appear to shine from the rider instead of shining down on us as in RWS card. So take your glorious self and ride on out there. Explore the world from your divine perspective.

  5. What a beautiful reading, Ellen! I love the message to look inward, to your sense of faith and your connection with divinity. I also see that peace comes from finding joy, even as you show the strength necessary to live through life's many (and sometimes challenging) lessons :)
