I was a bit
hesitant to draw my card for today. After the two last ones, I honestly
considered to take an oracle break. But
that didn't feel right. So I picked up my deck and started to shuffle and, what
seldom happened, one card flew out of the deck in my lap. I turned it around and I sighed with
relief: The Elder! How I needed this
rendition of The Hierophant. A wise woman is sitting near a trunk and is inviting me to join her. A
soft red velvet stool is waiting for me. Here I can sit down and rest from my
all my swordy tribulations. Dreamer Ten en Dreamer three: what are the odds!
Sitting in the shade of the Apple tree, which connects
this card to the beginning of autumn, the season of introspection and
reflection, we talk and she listens to me and after I've shared my feelings she starts to
teach me….
Only after I have let go of all my rigid thoughts and beliefs, I
will be open to listen to her message, to learn what really matters.
This card touched me so deeply and it feels
like this was exactly the right card for me today. I am ever so glad I continued
working with this deck!
“Join me
and see the pattern of life unfold. You may learn yet you may teach. Take the
spiral path of aged rings and find your sacred welder within.” (Emily Carding)
