Flea Powder

From the Victorian Romantic Tarot, Strength; from the Dreaming in Color Deck, Pettiness:

          This particular woman of Strength obviously has a special relationship with all her inner lions. She knows their personalities intimately, including what triggers them to lash out. Impatience, frustration, anger, indignation and fear are always on her radar; she notices when one is out of balance and tends to it with calm awareness before things get out of hand. Yet there is a bloodsucking pest that can bite those beasts and send them into madness: pettiness. Pettiness takes a fine-tooth comb and goes over everything, ignoring what is good as it solely focuses on any tiny mistake or grievance. Pettiness is a miserable cuss whose only pleasure is adding to her circle of misery. The flea powder that will drive this pest away is to take the long view and a wide perspective of all that is going on. Nothing lasts forever, and joy can be found even in sorrow. Shake, shake...
