This week I'll be using the Morgan Greer Tarot, created by Bill Greer and Lloyd Morgan and published by U.S. Games. I'll also be using the Celtic Book of the Dead, published by Grange Books, created by Caitlin Matthews and illustrated by Danuta Mayer. Today's draws are the King of Swords and the Island of Singing Birds:
The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.
―Bruce Lee
The handful of wheat and the acorn-bearing oak branch make me think one of this King's favorite sayings is, "Nothing can grow strong or well without truth and without some semblance of order." He knows that where there is no honesty, there is no trust, and nothing to hold the community together. Structure and rules help people remember what is important, set priorities, and get things done. His Achilles heel is that he sometimes forgets that change and new information might require adjusting the current system in place. The Island of Singing Birds brought a chorus of harmonic sounds to the Celtic travelers, "as though a choir were singing the Psalms." The beautiful blending of bird song was an advisement from the Otherworld to listen to their inner guide rather than their ego. When reality shifts because of new evidence or great change, our perceptions and actions must follow suit rather than cling to our old ideas.
