From the Dark Goddess Tarot, the Hag (King) of Earth; from the Tattwa Cards, Ether: Seed of Air:
If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.
— Dalai Lama
Change doesn't cease just because we worry about it or prepare for it, as She Who Watches discovered. A wise chief of a prosperous tribe, she was tricked by Coyote into becoming a stone when he showed her all the many ways her world would change in the coming years. The people could still come and ask for wisdom, she just couldn't give voice to her advice. Yet if we believe in a god/goddess or an ancestor who can hear our prayers, it may give us comfort knowing we are being watched over and given strength to get through difficult times. In Ether (emptiness): Seed of Air, there is quietness and stillness found amid the noise and chaos. It reminds us to employ the four gatekeepers of our thoughts and words before releasing them in the world: "Is this true, is this necessary, is this the right time, and is this kind?" The world has enough chaos and fear without us adding to it.
