From the Tabula Mundi Colores Arcus Tarot, Lust (Strength); from the Words of the Brehon Oracle, 'Three nurses that bring dignity:'
The Lust card emphasizes the need to employ our inner beast in helpful ways rather than suppress it or completely unleash it. The use of 'lust' rather than strength makes me think of bloodlust, a person's desire for ferocity and violence triggered by events around them. We all have those moments that can unlock our desire to act in detrimental ways. Dignity, or respectful conduct, derives from three sources according to the Irish triad. It entails three questions before acting:
1. A good mind - Is my clarity being affected by emotional intoxication?
2. A good memory - What were the consequences for similar actions in the past?
3. A good soul - How might my behavior overflow, causing untended harm or hurt to others?
