This week I'll be using the Deirdre of the Sorrows Tarot, a self-published set created by Deirdre O'Donoghue and illustrated by Wayne McGuire. Along with it, I'll be drawing from the Victorian Flower Oracle, created by Alex Ukolov, Karen Mahony and Sheila Hamilton; it was published by Magic Realist Press. Today's draws are the Ten of Pentacles and Forget-Me-Not:
We’re all dying from the day that we’re born; we’re in the process of dying and once you have reconciled that with yourself, it opens up windows for you.
Three generations gather in a sitting room, yet the elder sits apart as if knowing his legacy will soon be passed on. As he gazes out the window, he reviews how he lived, how he used the resources he had and the money he made. He realizes that not only his assets will be passed on to his heirs. Did he teach them to be ethical, prudent and generous? Forget-Me-Not suggests the end of a phase and a letting go into the next stage. Do our words and actions reflect how we want to be remembered? Will we leave behind a legacy that helps, enables or hinders the next generation?
