From the Druidcraft Tarot, the Ten of Pentacles; from the Druid Plant Oracle, Plantain:
The elderly fellow in this card has loved his family and worked hard to care for their needs. He's worn out and knows he'll be leaving this earth soon, but he is proud of the legacy he's left for others. The Ten of Pentacles is about coming full circle, passing the mantle on to the next generation. While it is hoped they will be good stewards of what is received, there is no promise that it will be so. Plantain's name in Gaelic means 'plant of healing.' Its antiviral and astringent properties have been put to use for centuries to promote wound healing and reduce inflammation. It is hoped that the young family in this card will take on the same properties, being grateful for what they receive; instead of talking about how they plan to change this or improve that, they can focus on attending to and tenderly expressing their love to this elder. Then perhaps they will start off on the right foot, realizing just how much effort was put into the legacy left in their care.
I was reading up on Sedona history this morning, over time it has been covered by ocean twice, was nothing but sandy desert between. Don't know where I'm going with this, but it is 10 of coins time for the world I think. Our generation has perhaps had the best of old and new.
ReplyDeleteHow different this world might be if people actually grasped the idea that life moves in cycles of beginnings and endings.
