This week I'll be using the Vision Quest Tarot, a deck created by Gayle Silvie Winter and Jo Dose (Illustrator); it was published by AGM Müller. I'll also be using Bird Cards, a deck and book set by Jane Toerien (Author) and Joyce van Dobben (Illustrator); it was published by Altamira-Becht. Today's draws are the Big Medicine Wheel (World) and Swallow:
Forward movement is not helpful if what is needed is a change of direction.
― David Fleming
On this journey, things change, and hopefully our knowledge and perspective keep pace. The World card generally signals a completion of one chapter in our lives and the beginning of another. It also represents a new paradigm - a shift in our way of seeing and understanding things because of what we've experienced. We no longer have to rely on habitual reactions or an old set of patterns. Swallows dart gracefully over fields, meadows and water in search of insects. They originally built their nests in caves, but now build their cup-shaped mud nests almost exclusively on human-made structures. The creators of this deck suggest they symbolize finding your joy, which brings to mind a quote by Richard Wagner: "Joy is not in things; it is in us." Outer lives may change, but we still have an inner well to draw from if we choose to do so.
The World offers so much. We choose.
