This week I'll be using the Dark Goddess Tarot, created by Ellen Lorenzi-Prince and published by Arnell's Art (now available from Schiffer Publishing). The oracle I'll be using is the Tattwa Cards, based on the teachings of John Mumford. Today's draws are the Ten of Water (Ixchel) and Earth: Seed of Air:
The holidays are an ongoing emotional litmus test; one day we are energized and excited, the next day we are drained and depressed. Ixchel, Mayan goddess of the Moon, arrives with her water jug to wash away our old patterns so that healthier emotional habits can develop. She would tell us there is no need to be constantly triggered by things that send our happy moods down into a crater of darkness. We just need to become aware of these vexations and mindfully choose not to react to them. Earth: Seed of Air represents aspiration, the initiative to achieve a goal. Yet the stability of Earth and the mutability of Air is an unusual mix, suggesting we mix fact and reason with intuition and insight. We don't need to protect ourselves from emotions but find a more creative way to let them flow through us rather than stagnate our mood.
