Transparent
Oracle Sunday! A day late!
61, Gateway: The Self (Within). This card is considered a “blank canvas,”
in that it has faces and hands like the other Within cards, but there are no
traits or textures or shapes or colors infused into the faces and hands. That is because each of us is unique;
this is a great significator card, and I am choosing to accept The Self as
offering a message: “These cards offer a unique message to you, but that
message must be perceived through your own unique senses and interpreted
through your own unique intellect.”
This card tells us that the first and main purpose of life and living is
to get to know our individual Self.
23, Element: Water (West). West is the direction of Water, and thus, of feelings and
emotions, relationships of all kinds, cleansing and healing, the wisdom
associated with natural endings, and the bubbling up of pure joy. Water is about emotions, feelings, the
Inner Voice, dreams, intuition, and Water is connected to both birth and death. Because our physical bodies contain so
much Water, whatever affects Water usually affects us as well. The image on this card also shows
ripples moving outward; something to remember when we are expressing our
feelings.
44,
Moon (Above). The direction
of Above takes us up and out of the four traditional elements of Air, Fire,
Water and Earth, and reminds us that we are but a small part of the
Cosmos. Above also reminds us that
while the Machinery of the Universe is huge, it does have an effect on each of
us, and each of us is an important part of the workings of that Machinery. The Moon is a card of cycles and tides,
and of mystery, the subconscious, and fantasy. All are useful tools and effects, except when taken to
extremes. The Moon also represents
the Sacred Feminine, and inner, passive and receptive energies.
I then
stacked my cards to create my mandala.
This one is very tight, and that does not surprise me because these
cards are really focused inward.
And oh boy, is this a powerful mandala! It is about feelings and connections and visions, it is
about the power of passivity and receptiveness, and it is about knowing and
valuing my inner being. After the
Fiery outer focus of last week’s Transparent Oracle spread, this one brings welcome
serenity. But I do need to
remember that inner work can burn as well.
We had
a great weekend, company coming and going, and it was hot, hot, hot! Spent Saurday on the beach, then went
out to dinner. Spent Sunday on the
front porch.
I’ve
got catching up to do, but it is too darned hot!
