This coming week I'll be using the Victorian Fairy Tarot, created by Lunaea Weatherstone with Gary A. Lippincott and published by Llewellyn. Paired with it will be the Haindl Rune Oracle, created by Hermann Haindl and published by U.S. Games. As an additional resource, I'll be dipping into The Serpent and the Eagle by Chris Travers. Today's draws are the Ace of Spring (Wands) and As (Ansuz):
Work your way to the ending and see what comes up. ―Andy Weir
The kite in this Ace of Wands makes me think of all the dips, twists and turns it takes when rising high in the sky. Similarly, when we are inspired with an idea, our mind shoots all over the place. No wonder mind mapping (a visual diagram used for organization) has become popular. The excitement and enthusiasm that inspiration causes can make us want to pole vault from the starting line over to the finish line, but As/Ansuz asks us to pause. This rune has been translated as both 'mouth' and 'estuary,' both of which have things that flow from them. An estuary is a transition zone, a partially enclosed coastal body of brackish water with rivers or streams flowing into it as well as a connection to the open sea. This in-between place suggests that we should first spend time working on our ideas, seeing what is functional and what isn't, before we race off with a spark yelling 'fire!'
