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 Four of Swords and Star-stuff:
To move placidly through the day means we are not easily upset or excited, which would be beneficial as the holiday rush begins. To do this, we need a spiritual practice that allows us to rest the mind and relax the heart. The blue face and lack of color in the chest of this young boy represents him doing just that - chilling out. It's not that he has stopped his thoughts or feelings, he just lets them be without feeding them stories, strategies or what ifs. Star-stuff reflects the words of Carl Sagan: "The cosmos is within us. We are made of star stuff." But unlike stars, we can't constantly burn up energy without paying a price. There might be a lot to do, but we need to reach out, ask for help and support each other in the doing of it.
