From the Enchanted Forest Tarot, the Three of Visions (Cups); from the Mystic Mushrooms, Birch Bolete:
Do bears dance in the woods when no one is watching? Bears are solitary animals except for mating, but they will congregate in areas of high food density such as berry patches. What better reason is there for any being to celebrate than finding sustenance after scarcity or relief after terror? It reminds me of people swarming the streets when WWII came to an end, hugging and dancing in joy. The Birch Bolete is found growing beneath birch trees in summer and fall. Its stem is covered in brown woolly scales, making it resemble the bark on these trees. Because of its association with the birch (a pioneer tree), it represents new beginnings. Together these cards suggest that when celebrating what is good, we shouldn't drag a wet bag of worries from the past behind us. Yes, things may go south again, but why ruin the present moment when instead we could bless the day with our joy and delight?
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.
