This week I'll be using the Sacred India Tarot, a deck and book set created by Rohit Arya with Jane Adams and published by Yogi Impressions. Along with it, I'll be using Theresa Hutch's Land Sky Oracle: A Journey Through Patanjali's 8 Limbs of Yoga, now published by U.S. Games. Today's draws are Death and Brahmacharya:
This Death card is illustrated with Yama, a human who became a god because he was unafraid to learn the riddle of death by dying. He was tasked with being the guardian of the resting place of the dead, but he is also known as an impartial judge and a teacher of impermanence. The Mahabharata describes his region as a place where only truth prevails. The companion book states that this card represents a powerful gateway to transformation. With such a stripping away comes an opening of the mind that creates a spacious freedom. Brahmacharya refers to conduct consistent with being on a spiritual path and deals with self-control. It asks us to consider what our intentions are and where we are directing our energy. Brahmacharya's right use of energy encourages us to spend less time on fleeting pleasures and focus on what will bring us peace and happiness.
It seems to me that most of our beginnings require some grit; and most of our endings could use more grace. –Dr. Richard Bellingham
