I threw
another Wild Unknown card: the Ten of Cups. How is that for an indication that I am moving in the
correct direction? Here are my
thoughts regarding this card: Harmony
and joy personified! The top five
Cups each spill out an individual color, and the bottom five Cups each receive
one stream of each color!
Everything can be found within the energies of this card: specific
emotional purity as well as a balanced mix of all feelings. By following one of the pure Cups
downward we learn integration of a specific feeling into our lives, and by
following one of the colors of the mixed Cups upward, we learn how to deal with
and understand and honor one specific feeling. There is a heck of a lot of power in this card!!
This Watcher
of the West has not been revealed yet, but I will continue to explore this
direction. Here is what I’ve found
out about this Watcher:
Antares
(“holds against Ares (Mars),” and “the heart of the Scorpion”), Persian name Satevis,
Sataveaesa or Sadwes (also associated with Crux, and the stars of Musca
Australis), reaches dominance at the Fall Equinox, and thus it is associated
with sunset, the cardinal direction of West, and the season of Fall. It is found in the constellation Scorpio;
it is associated with Archangel Uriel, and adventure, obstinacy, stubbornness
and violence, as well as injuries to eyes and sudden loss. This star can also indicate trouble
dealing with emotions because they are easily triggered.
Archangel
Uriel has communicated with me in the past. Uriel is the Angel of wisdom who shines light into the
darkness of confusion. Like The
High Priestess of the Tarot, Archangel Uriel is usually depicted holding a book
or a scroll in one hand, and a flame (representing Divine Truth) in the other
hand. It was Archangel Uriel who
warned Noah of the Flood, and it was Archangel Uriel who checked the doorways
of homes throughout Egypt for lambs blood on the night the plague striking the
first-born is activated. Legend
has it that Archangel Uriel rescued John the Baptist when King Herod ordered
the massacre of young boys when ye learned of the birth of Jesus.
This all
makes sense when I keep in mind that Watcher Satevis teaches us to focus on how
we do things. I need a willingness
to keep trying, and I need a willingness to endure a few road blocks in the
process. In the end, this is a
message that is similar to a personality trait of my sun sign,
Sagittarius. A Sag loves to try
out new theories, and does not need much encouragement to do so. What I have here is a double, a
suggestion that I learn how to learn.
I also have an indication that I just might learn more from
uncomfortable situations than I will from successes. After all, Satevis is located in the Scorpion; how does a
scorpion gets our attention? It
stings!
I am
thinking that I thought I knew everything there was to know about the Watchers,
but I’m wrong about that.
