They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for. ― Tom Bodett

The Pleasure of Simple Joys
From the Sun and Moon Tarot, the Six of Cups; from the Wisdom Keepers Oracle, Precision:
Since this is a Thoth-based deck, the keyword for the Six of Cups is 'pleasure.' The simple joy of the kids playing in the water is possible for adults too, particularly those who've known great challenges and deep pain. For folks in this group, the extraordinary can be found in the ordinary and pleasure in even the day to day tasks. While others may spin out emotionally over every little thing that doesn't go their way, they know that such things aren't worth wasting energy on. The Precision card backs up this way of thinking, encouraging us to look with discernment at situations so that we see them clearly, with wisdom and compassion. When our peace and contentment are anchored within, they won't be easily disturbed by the passing storms outside of us.

the people that I've met over the years that continually spin out, don't seem to have any mental tools to hold on to. Love isn't enough, no passion to keep the brain firm, no ability to see forwards. I finally conceded I wasn't able to provide any of the three, and life got much calmer.
ReplyDeleteAs they say in 12 Step groups, my recovery is my responsibility. We can't do the work for anyone else, just point the way.

ReplyDeleteReally what is the difference between Thoth and RWS decks?
Fun is always better shared!
DeleteThe Thoth card meanings are a bit different from the RWS. This deck has keywords that remind me on the borders (which I've cropped off). I'll email you a couple of links so you can have a look at how the Thoth is interpreted.
