From the Jolanda Tarot, the Six of Wands; from the Bird Signs deck, 'Waxwing:'
An arch has been created by these six wands, watched over by a hatted lion and an eagle. The lion illustrates the strength and power that was needed to accomplish this goal, while the arch suggests that this victory is a stepping stone to other challenges. I was curious about the letter 'N' at the top; it could simply mean the direction north or it could be the chemical symbol for nitrogen (used in both fertilizers and bombs). I'd bet on the chemical. The eagle implies freedom and far-sight. Though this 'win' brings more opportunities, discernment will be needed to choose those that are worth fighting for. Waxwings show up here in the South during their winter migration. They are one of the few species of birds that can survive for months on berries. They gather by the hundreds where fruit is found and pause long enough to strip the shrub or tree clean. I am reminded by the waxwing that if you don't mind sharing, any endeavor done with a group can mean more support and fun.
Working together in concert more smoothly not only helps us move more quickly; it changes the nature of what we can undertake. When we have the confidence that we can orchestrate the group effort required to realize them, we dare bigger dreams. ~ Justin Rosenstein
I just could not see the 'emperor's" hat on the lion, I was caught up in the bird heads on the tip of the wands. What a busy card that six of wands is. The pairing of the lion and the eagle will give us the griffin, the emblem of courage and boldness; needed to follow our True North?
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of combining the lion and eagle to create a griffin!😊
DeleteI've only seen waxwings here once, and only noticed them because their song is different from the locals. Beautiful bird. No berries here
ReplyDeleteThey eat all sorts of things, but make use of berries when there's not a lot of other natural food sources during this time of year.
