From the
Tarot of the Crone, the Four of Cups; from Transforming Dragons, "Nervoc:"
A woman stands alone on a rock in the sea, while overhead a solar eclipse is in progress. This woman has either had too much sun and fun or too much drama and tension. Her cloaked appearance and the eclipse mean she's put herself in time-out. We often think to rest our minds and bodies, but rarely think about our hearts. But the heart requires time to recuperate and heal just like anything else. I imagine she'll hop on one of those sailboats eventually, but for now peace and solitude are what she needs.
Nervoc the dragon is characterized by imprudence and carelessness. He can't stand things to be dull, so he lives life on the edge. Of course he's had things blow up in his face due to his impulsive and irresponsible nature, but that doesn't seem to slow him down. He'll try to tempt the woman on the rock to do something to shake things up. "See the pretty, colorful jellyfish? Why don't you pick it up?" No thanks; a small bit of boredom doesn't mean I should go kick any hornets' nests.
I could have looked at that card all day and not known what it was...weird deck :)
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely "tarot off the beaten path" :D, but had I not cropped the title off the cards you would have figured it out I imagine.
DeleteThis cards does resemble the four of swords a lot. but as you've said this is a timeout for the heart. I wish it was as easy as it sounds.Putting our feelings on hold.....I think it would feel right at home on that small red rock for a while
ReplyDeleteI agree; I can rest my body and mind much easier than I can detach emotionally!
