This week I'll be using the Ferret Tarot, created and self-published by Elaine Moertl. Along with it, I'll be drawing from Nature's Wisdom Oracle, created by Mindy Lighthipe and published by Schiffer Books. The cards for today are the Eight of Cups and Lotus:
Fulfillment is not a destination. It's not a place you can ever arrive at and settle into.
― David Rynick
Have you ever bumped into an old friend from years ago and found, apart from aging, they haven't changed at all? Complacency is a state of inertia, when we feel like we have no need of new ideas, perspectives or experiences - it's too much effort and might cause mental uneasiness. Contentment is a state of joy with what is, yet there is still an effort to grow and develop (though it comes from a place of peace and curiosity, not agitation). Like the Lotus that rises through murky water, content people keep moving toward the light, not to arrive at any fixed place, but as a way to pursue meaning and understanding in their life.
So keen to see Mindy’s deck, it is one of my faves. I also own her book “The Art of Botanical & Bird Illustration” which in inspirational. (Judy)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know she had an art instruction book. Just had a peek - it looks impressive!
