From the Granny Jones Australian Tarot, the Six of Swords; from the Button Oracle, "Viking Ship:"
Granny's card for the Six of Swords made me think of a song called "
Get Here" written by Brenda Russell; she says in the verses, "I don't care how you get here, just get here when you can." If one way doesn't work (busted bike), try another, no matter how crazy it might sound (UFO). Whether it's sadness or self-pity, fear or anger, my emotions can be like quicksand. Logic and reason are nowhere to be found though desperately needed. How do I move from this hellish place and change my mush mind into a saner head space?
The Viking Ship button seems to fit with Granny's idea of moving on. But the keywords for it don't have anything to do with escape; instead they suggest an exploration, adventure or quest. Escape implies looking for a safe place where I won't be bothered. And as Helen Keller emphasized, "Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it." Yet a quest would entail me actively looking for something - in this case, new ideas and thoughts to replace the old.
Have you had your B-12 checked recently?
ReplyDeleteMy guess would be yes... my doc just ordered a barrage of blood tests for all kinds of checks. Just went back for a second round because my thyroid level was high. I can ask when they call about the second test's results though to be sure.
DeleteMaybe finding a place of peace and quiet and doing some soul searching along the way is a good compromise :)
ReplyDeletePS are you ill? (blood tests??)
The blood panel was a part of my yearly exam, but the thyroid test came back as elevated. The doctor did another to double check the results, but I haven't heard back from them yet.
Deletefingers crossed then :)
DeleteI like that Viking ship focus: if you have a goal in mind, it helps you keep moving and avoid sinking into the morass of emotions. Fingers crossed the tests all come back clear, or if not that they have a quick solution, like the B-12 :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I've really enjoyed these Granny Jones cards, they're a lot of fun!
Thanks Chloe. :) I'm going to sad to put away the Granny deck and the Button Oracle; I might have to use them for some holiday readings for others. They are both terrific when life is particularly stressful.
