Gusty Breeze

From the Tabula Mundi Colores Arcus Tarot, the Five of Swords; from the Words of the Brehon Oracle, the 'Three renovators of the world:'

The airy swords like a fresh breeze and don't abide stagnation. Thus a raptor has attacked the dove while it was resting above its egg. Such strife (and defeat) create a gusty wind to knock us out of our complacent comfort. In a world that's constantly in flux, concepts and creeds don't fare well when we try to sink them in concrete. The Irish triad's three renovators mimic this movement. A woman can create life, the cow's milk can sustain it, and the smith's anvil (via weapons) can end it. In our world, life constantly moves through these three natural cycles. These cards seem to ask: are we trying to preserve an idea that needs to be replaced?

Without impermanence, nothing would be possible. With impermanence, every door is open for change. Impermanence is an instrument for our liberation. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
