It's on the Inside

From the Herbcrafter's Tarot, the Hierophant; from the Green Wheel Oracle, the 'Blood Moon:'

The Hierophant is paired with the cacao tree, whose pods contain the seeds used to make cocoa, cocoa butter, and chocolate. The booklet encourages us to "seek the truth in spiritual teachings," which is akin to the pods of the tree. Sometimes what is spiritually valuable is not what shows on the outside but what is found on the inside. The Blood Moon represents finding balance (or equanimity) in the middle of chaos or drama. Rather than clinging to what we want or resisting what we don't want, we observe with curiosity.  This ability generally requires a mindfulness practice to develop. Learning to watch our thoughts and emotions without judgment can help remove all that inner baggage, allowing us to clearly see what can and can't be changed.
