Whenever I see the Ace of Wands, I think of a giant exclamation point. Seize the stick! Take a whack at something! Start a fire! Here's all this enthusiasm and excitement in one leafy branch, yet this morning I have absolutely no idea what to do with it. Hmmm... I'll just move on to the next card, Brigid. This Irish goddess was associated with healing, poetry and smithcraft. The Catholic church would later fuse her identity with St. Brigid, who is said to have created a school of art at Kildare. Her feast day is on the eve of spring (Feb. 1), which fits in well with the Ace. The booklet states: "Be inspired to create - this in itself is healing." Creating for such a reason isn't for practical purposes like having something to sell. It is purely for allowing the sun to shine on that hollow place in your soul, filling it with peace.
Maybe after all that clearing it is time to do something creative and relaxing in the sunshine like coloring or splashing some watercolor on a whet paper :)
ReplyDeleteRelaxing will be my main concern today (after a night with little sleep). Even painting seems tiring, but poetry may be a good outlet...
DeleteWhen I saw the title of your post I thought, uh oh, Bev's had another visceral encounter with nature in her garden ;)
ReplyDeleteHeehee, thankfully no garden encounters. We hit a temperature of 100F here yesterday, so I imagine all I'll be doing outside is watering when it's needed. :)
