I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Thundercats Ho!

This week I'll be using the Nicoletta Ceccoli Tarot created by the artist of the same name and published by Lo Scarabeo. I'll also be using the Sacred Geometry Oracle deck and book set, created by John Michael Greer and published by Llewellyn. Today's draws are the Magician and "Octahedron:"
       The booklet's description of the Magician reads: "All the power you need is within you. Seize your own magic and use your will to make changes to your world." A powerful statement for such a timid looking girl. Although she seems to have partly made her transformation (the power of the leopard), she appears to be second-guessing herself. I can just imagine her thinking, "What if I make a mistake or don't have what it takes to be successful?" Marianne Williamson explains her hesitancy: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." Time to let the bird out of the cage and see just how far it can fly.
       The octahedron is one of the five Platonic solids, and as such, is assigned to the element of air. Greer sees this element in the mediating dynamic between the radiation of the sun and the earth's surface. No wonder this girl has doubts; she's got to be the peacekeeper and diplomat between two opposing forces. Don't let your lack of confidence keep you from acting, young one. Suit up and show up. Thundercats ho!

    1. I think the media teaches youth how to manipulate others to do for them instead of taking responsibility and doing it for themselves. But yes, hopefully we learn to create what we want instead of always depending on someone else to do it.

  3. She makes me think of a kitten, who can look so cute and then suddenly bare her claws :D And she has a touch of Strength to her, too, useful for that mediation, as she can be girl or leopard, depending on what is called for :)

    1. Yes, she does have that Strength connection though she may not realize it yet!
