Today’s
Rune is Berkano, the equivalent of The Empress. This is the rune of abundance,
creativity, fertility, nurtering, and of course the symbol of the Divine Feminine.
My card for today is the Nine of Pentacles from the Wild Unknown Tarot. Immediately I felt so safe when I saw this depiciton: nine
pentacles are symmetrically arranged in a diamond shaped nest. They are shielded
from the outside world with white soft feathers. These feathers give a very motherly feel to the nest. The Nine of Pentacles is all about being content
with what you have achieved and received so far. It is a card of accomlishment
and gratitude. This card is related to the Hermit. Al the nines share an energy
of solitude and reflection; of discovering who we truly are. But they also
encourage us not to stay to long here but to move forward in life and trust we will
have the tools and the wisdom to do so.
Personally
for me today this means I want to trust and embrace my ability to make art. Considering
my nine pentacles in the nest, this is not a strange thing to do. I’ve come to this
Nine of Pentacles through a lot of
practice (Eight of Pentacles) but after having ""reveled in my success" it is time
to spread my wings and leave the nest.
What
is helping me a lot to move forward lately, is
the notion that I don't have to be super creative all the time. Copying pictures
is a very good practice and a lot of fun too. It is also a good way to warm up our creative muscle. The results are rewarding and it
is very relaxing thing to do.
Affirmation: Today
I am grateful for the gift of creative abundance
P.S I've added yesterdays drawing of a little gnome. M. noticed it looked
like The Hermit. Now I like it even more. J
