This week I'll be using the Albano-Waite Tarot, recolored by Frankie Albano and published by U.S. Games. The oracle deck I'll use is the Rumi Cards, created by Eryk Hanut, illustrated by Michele Wetherbee and published by Tuttle. The cards drawn for today are the Knight of Wands and Awareness:
Two there are, who are never satisfied; The lover of the world and the lover of Knowledge.
― Jalaluddin Rumi
The energetic Knight of Wands is always eager to put his ideas into action. But he tends not to stick around for too long once they're in motion. He prefers to explore different worlds and gather more cutting-edge ideas. Satisfaction comes in the seeking and finding more than the long follow through. His motto is "What's next?" Rumi's quote reads: "If you read nothing and wisdom sees your fervor, Awareness will sit in your hand like a tamed dove." Rumi recognized wisdom as more than an accumulation of knowledge; it is relational, an understanding of how something correlates and interweaves in our lives. In the Knight's case, he doesn't fully experience what is happening because his mind is racing to his next adventure. Awareness would allow him to observe things as they unfolded: otherwise, his restlessness might overlook important details that would become lost pieces of the puzzle.
