This week I'll be using the Cosmic Tarot, created by Norbert Losche and published by U.S. Games. I'll also be drawing from L'Oeil de Lotus (Eye of the Lotus), created by Colette and Gérard Lougarre and published by Vox Arkhana. Today's cards are the Nine of Wands and Death:
A young man defiantly faces forward, willing to meet rather than avoid what comes. The wands and the lion behind him represent past struggles that he's had the courage to push through; the snake and wands before him represent the strength and perseverance he'll need to rise to the next challenge. Dealing with adversity for months and years requires not just physical stamina, but mental as well. Yet the Death card suggests these hardships will not require an ongoing sacrifice. As the Masai proverb states, "There is no hill that never ends." The pomegranate indicates looking within ourselves for our power rather than relying on anger (which will deplete our energy and cloud our thinking). The butterfly atop the hour glass implies that seeing this through will change us in ways that are liberating.
Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are. ~Arthur Golden
