Today’s
card is the Page of Bows –Stoat from the Wildwood tarot. A perfect card to lift
up my spirit after yesterday’s post. This card is the equivalent of the Page of
Wands from the RWS deck. Its youthful playful energy includes a.o: creativity, willfulness,
impulsiveness and curiosity and since this animal is a predator, I would like to
add fierceness as well.
Look at him
standing on his rock, one paw lifted, ears pricked up, and the point of
his tail is slightly curved. His whole demeanor radiates excitement before action.
Maybe that's what this Page is all about for today: To find something which excites me, makes me
curious and then jump in fearlessly. Just do it and make the best of it. I can’t
imagine a stoat refusing to jump of his rock because he is afraid to hurt his
paw. He just jumps because he know he has to and he deals with the consequences
in the next moment. No, I don’t suggest we should live recklessly but a little
less planning and thinking ahead might result in a lot more fun and enjoyment. The
fear of making mistakes is more than often depriving us of joyful living
So for today
I say to myself: let’s jump of that rock and finish my latest art journal page. Whether
or not I am content with the final result, I am sure I will enjoy myself a lot while playing with my art supplies!
