From the Animal Totem Tarot, the Two of Swords; from the Blum/Gern Rune Cards, Raido:
The Wilson's plover is a coastal wader that moves along the shoreline in search of food (hoping for a fiddler crab). The shore is one of those in-between places, not quite ocean but not quite land. This place of limbo is how we often feel when there is an important decision to make. Though uncomfortable, it can help us reassess, step out of our habitual patterns, and reorder our priorities. Raido suggests a journey, whether physical or within. It is movement beyond the usual places we prefer to places of uncertainty and the unknown. Raido invites us to stay curious rather than anxious, to keep our mind open rather than hide. Both these cards seem to encourage us to embrace change, which is the natural flow of life.
A spiritual practice can be an island, a place where opening to uncertainty and doubt can lead us to a refuge of truth. —Joan Halifax
Maybe that is why I am drawn to the shoreline, the in-betweenness.
ReplyDeleteSeems a good place to get unstuck!
Deletelovely pairing of cards this week. I don't think to two Blum books varied, runes are a bit like lenormand that way, pretty basic, leave the rest for tarot.
ReplyDeleteI think your right about the books, but this particular deck is the best out of those he's published. I cherish this gift.
