This week I'll be working with the Sasuraibito Tarot, self-published by Stasia Burrington. I'll also be using Soul Cards 1 & 2, created by Deborah Koff-Chapin and published through her company, Center for Touch Drawing. The Soul Cards have no titles, so the ones given here are my own. Today's draws are the Magician and Alien:
This Magician's hands are flying so fast, he appears to have multiple arms. He takes a ball and hides it under one of the cups then takes a bet on who might find it. Known as a shell game, confidence tricksters use sleight of hand to move and hide the ball during play. The Soul Card, Alien, shows a part-human and part-beast who appears sad and lonely. I think we all have portions of our lives when we feel like a stranger in a strange land. We may try to assimilate through the Magician's method - using pretense to try and fit in. Or, we may simply exist on the fringe, a wallflower, thinking we are too weird to belong anywhere. Either way, it is our narrow focus on all the ways we are different that often causes our suffering. We might do well to take Sophie Trudeau's words to heart: "The differences that separate human beings are nothing compared to the similarities that bond us together."
