Unlike
most Wheel cards, this one contains a spiral. Life is a series of
cycles, but am I repeating the same pattern over and over (going in
circles), or am I making progress through each one (moving in a
spiral)? Do I hold on to blind beliefs, or do I step out and take an
objective look to see how I can change? The bird represents seeing the
big picture - implying a detached inventory of myself. The four small
circles represent the four worlds of Kabbalah:
Atzilut - divine inspiration
Beriah - divine understanding
Yetzirah - divine emotion
Assiyah - divine action
Beriah - divine understanding
Yetzirah - divine emotion
Assiyah - divine action
While
I'll never reach the perfection found in the four worlds, I do believe
in spiritual evolution. But to take any steps toward advancement, I
need to monitor myself to see whether I'm stuck in a rut or moving
smoothly along the spiral.
The animal chosen this morning from the wooden tile oracle is the "Cougar:"
The animal chosen this morning from the wooden tile oracle is the "Cougar:"
Averaging between 140 to 160 pounds, the cougar is
one large and powerful cat. It is a solitary hunter, preferring to
take its prey by ambush. These cats communicate with each other through
scratched up areas that contain urine and feces called scrapes. The
sites are like huge "No Trespassing" signs to other cougars, and by
mutual agreement they avoid each other. Cougar reminds me that I need
to have firm boundaries established, and I should be respectful of the
boundaries of others. His isolated way of life teaches me that I must
blaze my own trail; I cannot rely on the opinions and choices of others
to make my decisions for me.
