From the Gaian Tarot, the Eight of Fire (Wands); from the Goddess Oracle, Cerridwen:
When things are happening quickly (like these meteors racing toward earth), it's easy to freak out and want to try to control things. We stop paying attention to what is going on and worry about our assumptions or fantasize about how things will turn out. We may miss what actually would be helpful to do because we are bent on trying to manipulate what is headed our way. Even it the news is good (such as a job interview), it can be hard to maintain awareness without shoveling all of our emotions and expectations on top of the situation. Cerridwen, the Welsh goddess of death and rebirth, was the keeper of the cauldron of knowledge and inspiration in the Underworld. Yet that potion had to be brewed a year and a day to reach its potency. She reminds us that we need to be patient and willing to let go of our need to manage what is beyond our ability direct. Simply show up, listen, and be observant; we will understand our role to play when we have the information we need.
