Today’s card is “A twist in the tale”- The unexpected, a change you
did not see coming” from the Shapeshifters Oracle. I like to use this deck during this season because
the theme of the deck is Change and so much is changing right now. We are
entering the holiday season. The temperatures are dropping rapidly. “Winter is
coming” without a doubt and in thirty days Christmas as is already over and
days are slowly lengthening again.
The card
shows us a pale white girl and her white ferret. There is not much color but
the red of their eyes, nose and ears and
the pink glow in the back. Not quite what you would have expected of a fairy
and her ferret. They come to tell us
that change is coming and there is nowhere to hide. It can be about your age,
your relationship, your job, a project; something is about to change and the
only thing we can do is embrace and accept it and go from there. So often we
are relentlessly trying to keep change at bay so we can uphold our illusion of
being in control.
It would be
so much more easy to accept change and then embrace it or deal with it. So many
possibilities could have been ignored or set aside out of fear of change. And
who knows what we have missed out on.
Nature
teaches us all about change. About the beauty and the hardship. About life and
destruction. Everything is part of the
whole beautiful picture
Perhaps
that is the message from this card: take
a step back and try to see the whole story with all its twists and turns and
how everything worked out for the best. That way the next twist won’t be that scary and maybe in the end a great
blessing
