From the Herbcrafter's Tarot, the Ace of Air (Swords); from the Green Wheel Oracle, Goose:
The Ace of Air/Swords represents truth, justice and clarity. The the herb yarrow is known medicinally for treating wounds, a fitting symbol for addressing any imbalances the principles the Sword suit upholds. Yet its Latin name - Achillea millefolium - suggests we pause (Achillea is a reference to Achilles and his point of weakness and vulnerability). We all have blind spots and weaknesses that may hamper our discernment. The Goose is a symbol of protection and loyalty to its clan members. Those we love may skew our perception of what is true simply because of our loyalty to them. We may want to shield them, but are we doing them any favors? Everyone deserves the opportunity to learn to be responsible as they meet the challenges of life.
Look at the word responsibility-"response-ability"-the ability to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. They do not blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling. ~Stephen Covey
