For today I've drawn Maker Two ( Two of
Pentacles) from the Tarot of the Sidhe by Emily Carding. Instead of the juggler
trying to hold both of his pentacles in the air here we see an oak tree which
has brought forth a Fey child with two acorns in his hands. The child is still attached
to the tree by a navel cord. Two butterflies are flying in opposite directions and
the sun is shining brightly.
For me this
card is all about planting seeds: starting projects, committing to intentions
and promises. But besides that it is also about being responsible for these
seeds. Planting them is not enough; they have to be tended: fed, watered and loved.
When a new project becomes a boring chore it is destined to wither and die.
Without love and passion, seeds won’t grow strongly. Of course we all experience
lack of these motivating feelings from time to time. Then maintaining the seed
can be enough for a while but the true responsibility
in my opinion lies in to love and care for your "babies".
For me this
is not always easy. I am a passionate beginner of projects but most of the time
I find it difficult to keep working on them and even more to finish them. It is
almost a miracle I am still blogging after a whole year. Painting
regularly in my art journal is much more
difficult. It can take weeks before I pick up my dusted journal which I had intended
to work in al least three times a week. Yesterday I've joined
the 365-30 lists Face book group. Only to receive the monthly list subjects,
which I want to write daily in my new Eldori.
For now I am excited but I wonder for how long I can manage to keep writing
those lists. J
Yes our
seeds can vary in importance and need of support but when tended well they
return your loving attention with fulfillment and pride and a sense of self worth
