In
the middle of this blazing card is a figure giving birth; beside it, is
a primitive drawing of a deer-like animal. Petersen labels this card
as the "fire of creativity" and describes it as "gathering something in
the world of the unknown and bringing it into the world of the known."
When I look back over my life, I find many instances where a task that
first seemed impossible was accomplished by working with others.
Respectful cooperation can create much good in the world - its power
should never be underestimated.

From the Froud's Heart of Faerie oracle today comes "The Leaving:"
A
youngster stops to ask directions from one of the forest residents
before he makes his journey. This card is about leaving something
behind and moving forward, but being prepared and asking for guidance
before you leave. The spiritual path I've been on for the past year has
come to an abrupt halt (my decision), and I am tentatively seeking out
other routes. I asked a friend last night on the aeclectic.net tarot
forum to do a reading for me with her "story dice" (see here:
http://www.storycubes.com/ ) on my new mission to see what I might need
to know. Basically I learned that I need to build a bridge between the
intellectual (pretty much what all the old path consisted of) and the
physical (I need to be able to use this in practical, grounded ways). I
also need to remember as I take these first steps, my spiritual
foundation will have to be built brick by brick rather than attaining it
instantly (forget how-to books or weekend seminars).
