Today’s
card is the Five of Earth from the Gaian Tarot. In this card we see someone taking
shelter under a makeshift little hut
made from whatever the forest provided at the time.
Although I am
feeling better and Spring has arrived over here, it is still raining inside me from
time to time. This card highlights our ability to survive whenever storm blows in; accompanied by heavy rainfall. Then we have to make do with what we have and what we are capable of.
The little shelter in the card represents the
times when I have been able to lift up my spirit and to chase away the dark
clouds. This could have been as easy as taking a little stroll, painting intuitively
with watercolors, watching series etc. Just as with making this shelter, it doesn’t
matter what you use or how you do, it as long as it is fit for purpose.
Several
years of therapy have equipped me with some really helpful tools and insights for
whenever the weather might change. Although I still suffer from depressions, I
am grateful that lately it is not as scary and dark anymore as it used to be.
this deck is based here in western Washington. This looks like a hidey-hole my cousin and I used to make from big ferns.
ReplyDeleteYou live in a beautiful area! I will remember that that when I work with this deck
DeleteWhenever I draw this card I want to crawl back in bed and pull the covers over my head. Some days that is the only way to deal with the day. I hope your day is not one of those. Turn on all the lights and dance!
ReplyDeleteThasnk you, my day was pretty good actually. I have been "dabbering" a lot today :D
DeleteThis card makes me remember that even if things are as I'd like them to be, they still are better than they might otherwise be. And they won't always be this way forever. (((E)))
ReplyDeleteThat is the beauty of life: Everything always changes. :)

I like the description for this card as being "waiting out the storm at night". It offers a glimmer in the melancholy darkness that the storm will eventually pass. It's a few days since you posted this. I'm hoping the storm has passed by now. xo
ReplyDeleteThanks Rose I do feel somewhat better. As you might have noticed on my IG feed. I am participating in #createthisoracledeck which is a very healing activity for me
DeleteHas the oracle card challenge felt therapeutic for you at all? It's nice sometimes to have a focus for creation, and with that exercise you end with your own beautiful, and very personal, deck, which I imagine (both the creation and the final product) would be soothing for those inner rainy days <3
ReplyDeleteYes it felt indeed wonderfully healing. It has done so much for my self confidence. It's been months since I've picked up a paintbrush and thanks to this challenge I finally got the courage to do so.
