This week the tarot I'll be using is the Ellis Deck, created and self-published by Taylor Ellis. Paired with it will be the Brownies Oracle, created and self-published by Doug Thornsjo. Today's draws are the Hermit and Burdens:
Ellis suggests the Hermit is a study of the self, which would include all the ways we've been conditioned by our experiences and the patterns of behavior that have resulted. We look for what is hidden and shine a light on what is found. Such a contemplation and investigation will require some solitude, courage and patience (as indicated by the tortoise and snail). The Brownies are in a panic because the river is rising; they attempt to carry all they can to safety. Like them, we too carry burdens, yet much of this weight arises from the mind - our cherished opinions and conclusions. These in turn often trigger emotions like fear, sadness and resentment. Isn't it time to see them for what they are and lighten some of our load?
