This week I'll be using the Dark Mansion Tarot, an independently published deck (Taroteca Studio) by Krzysztof Wasiuk and Magdalena Kaczan (artist). I'll also be using Miss Mai's Victorian Oracle, a self-published deck created by Mai (surname unknown). Today's draws are the Ten of Swords and Bat:
A long list of jobs, friends and partners that last only briefly likely means the problem lies with us, not them. Mentally hitting rock bottom is not a pleasant place, but it can be an eye-opening position if we are open-minded enough to question our ideas and how we express ourselves. Bat suggests we make a sincere effort to see from another point of view rather than just our own. Its use of echolocation suggests we should pay attention to what is reflected back to us when we interact with others. Can we attempt to see from their perspective? Is it possible to just listen without correcting another person? The mental trap of superiority is a lonely place to be.
oh, this is so true about the self-esteem and humility. The ego... it causes so many problems. :)
ReplyDeleteIt does! I do wish we would teach our kids that humility is a good thing and has nothing to do with being a doormat. :)
