Transparent Oracle Sunday!
26, Guide: Otter (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. The first thing I think of when I see
the Otter card is joyful playing.
Otters are known for their play, and play is a sign of intelligence and
awareness. Otters are at home both
on Earth and in Water; they form strong family bonds, and work hard to protect
their group of family or friends.
All while playing tag!
23, Element: Water (West). West is the direction of Water, sensitive, imaginative energy that strives to stay
the same or take the same course; energy that is cold and wet, that binds and adapts. Water is about emotions, feelings, the
Inner Voice, dreams, intuition, and Water is connected to both birth and death.
Water is necessary for Frog to exist and thrive. 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.
35,
Landscape: Forest (North). North is
the direction of Earth, and thus of the physical or physically formed or manifested
world, and of nurturing, health, finances and security, and the wisdom
associated with living simply, being well-grounded, and being in touch with our
physical body. Forest is about the
results over the long term, results which happen because of fertility and
nurturing and patience; Forest represents the manifestation of age and wisdom
and patience, connections (and results) that are not openly apparent but
rather, like roots under the ground, are all around us. Different energies can work together; a
Forest is proof of that.
I then stacked my cards and
created my mandala. This one is
mostly about Water; the symbol for Water is at the center of the mandala, and
the ripples are moving outward, affecting everything else that is reflected on
its surface, or beneath. The joy
to be had from being a part of a family or community that is loving, that
watches out for each other, and that celebrates the least of accomplishments,
is something that I should allow to infuse my very being, and to wash away the discomforts
and worries of day-to-day existence.
Over time, these little efforts to infuse joy into my life will manifest
in a big way, and if I open myself to the efforts of others, even if I disagree
with those efforts or the intentions behind them, everyone benefits.
