Today’s cards are the Three of Swords and the
Prince of Swords from the Goddess Tarot by Kris Waldherr.
For me the
Three of Swords is all about making decisions which go straight against the heart,
often without being actually aware it until our heart feels more like a
pincushion than like a place where love springs from.
Hurting our
Heart, undermining our Self Love, is a habit which we don’t shake off easily.
Often it is advisable to start with baby steps. Be mindful if someone or some situation
is asking or expecting something from you. Don’t react instantly but take a
breath or two and feel. Try to find out what it is that you want, what makes your
heart sing and then respond in a confident but friendly way. Even if you decide
to go against your own wishes, this way you will know and maybe you can think
of something to remove the sword afterwards: a bath, a cup of tea etc.
What energy
will help me to brace myself against the expectations of the world: the Prince
of Swords. He is a young but already strong-willed and very articulate. There will
be no confusion about what he wants and why. Notice how his neck collar is protecting
his heart and how he holds his swords near this very vulnerable but precious part
of himself.
He will
teach me to stand up for myself and be clear about my need and wants not only
to others but more so to myself.
