Personal Agency

From the Dark Goddess Tarot, The Morrigan (Emperor); from the Tattwa Cards, Air > Seed of Water:

Never surrender what matters most.

~Ellen Lorenzi-Prince

          The Morrigan, great Queen of the Celts, is associated with war and fate. She reminds us that we should cherish our sovereignty (the right to make our own decisions) while realizing we are responsible for those choices. There are times when we may wish to abdicate our own throne, but this goddess warns that personal agency is what allows us our independence and freedom. Yet the keyword for tattwa card - 'stagnation' - offers another caution. Sometimes we can fall under the illusion that we are an expert on everything and refuse to listen to others. Our opinions and beliefs keep us trapped from seeing the bigger picture. Yet sincerely considering the ideas of others only offers us more options to choose from.

If you cannot be open-minded, then you do not possess your ideas, your ideas possess you.

~Bryant McGill
