From the Deirdre of the Sorrows Tarot, the Ace of Cups; from the Victorian Flower Oracle, Daisy:
The pairing of the Ace of Cups and Daisy (Family Matters) reminds me that not all of us were raised in healthy environments. Yet the snake wrapped around the tree, representing the Staff of Asclepius, suggests there is healing to be found. It's not true that we can't love another without loving ourselves. However, we do tend to look for (and expect) others to fill our emptiness, and we might be drawn to what we are familiar with (those who treat us as a lesser being). Yet we need others. As Lia Avellino states, "healing happens in connection and pain thrives in isolation." A trusted friend or therapist might help us believe we are worthy of love and kindness so that we make the effort to uncover our value.
