I create. Pictures with paper, paint, gems, clay, words, string, glue, tiles, stones, wire and anything that can be contained, constrained, contorted or consumed. I create chaos and peace. I create method and madness. I create. I create through inspiration, impulse, instruction, introduction, informality, intuition and in ways that are unimaginable. I create. What and/or how do you create?
The Tarot creates through providing ‘triggers’ that send impulse to our intuition and our need to create order and tell stories. We are shown cards with pictures, symbols, colours, words, faces, seasons, animals and clues that engage our imagination. We call upon our need to make sense of what we are shown and craft stories from what our senses tell us. It is not just about what we see, it is about how we feel. Visceral flashes of smell, taste, sound, light, dark, positive and negative collide and help us as we look for patterns, links, sequence and logical strands that inform our story to an acceptable conclusion.
Books tell us what we ‘should’ be seeing. Courses and groups tell us what we ‘should’ be doing and learning. We tell ourselves what we are seeing and learning. How we do, how we learn, how we see is an individual choice that, once we recognise it, is irrefutably the ‘way’ we always use regardless of how much we might try to conform to how things ‘should’ be. Embrace your ‘way’ of doing, learning and seeing! There is no right or wrong way with the Tarot. It speaks to each of us differently if we are prepared to listen.
Today, I have drawn the 8 of Disks (Reversed). I am using the Thoth Tarot illustrated by Lady Frieda Harris.
This card represents Prudence. Using Tarosophy, this is the coming together of money. However, it is reversed and this indicates financial affairs coming apart.
This can also be interpreted as focus and material so today may be a day of lost concentration or property or material things coming undone.
I choose the interpretation that today will be a day of lost concentration of material things I am working on being interrupted and somewhat chaotic. I choose to create today space and time and practice patience and letting go.
It is not a day to start anything new but to just relax and take things as they come and know that tomorrow will bring renewed energies and focus.
With that… until tomorrow, Love, light and blessings!
