Well, those Swords are getting a workout this week. I pulled more Swords last night at the local Tarot Meetup. The Swords represent the element of Air…the realm of pure thought, our intellectual side.
8 of Swords
In the 8 of Swords, the woman stands blindfolded in a marshy area. The water appears stagnant and full of algae and slime. She is surrounded by 8 swords, standing point down into the grounds. She’s not complete surrounded, though. She can move away…there are paths to follow…if she can first overcome her fear of moving and possibly being cut by the swords around her.
It’s so easy to let ourselves be immobilized by fear. For me, it’s probably one of my biggest failings. It’s funny that this message came up for me last night at the Tarot Meetup as well, only more in the positive sense of looking around me to see the possibilities and working with them. So today the card is telling me that even if I can’t see them, the possibilities are still there, and I have other senses to work with than just the one. I must stop the words in my head that tell me failure is certain, and I might just as well do nothing. Yesterday’s reading told me to work on my positive self-talk and affirmations. Today is another nudge in the same direction.
Goddess Card: Sige
“Take some quiet time alone to rest, meditate and contemplate.” Sige is a Gnostic goddess. She is the silence that give birth to Wisdom. It’s so easy when we are lost in our own heads, listening to the tapes of the past play over and over, to forget that we need to recharge our batteries and reconnect with the divine. We need to get away from the adrenaline rush of our fears and anxiety and bring ourselves into a state of balance. Again, a similar message to yesterday. Take one day at a time and stay connected with what is important in life. All the rest will take care of itself.
