From the Sun and Moon Tarot, the Star; from the Animal Tiles, Beaver:
It means entering the stream of the river of life to go against the current.
―Stefano Bettera
The Star represents a turning point; the energy of its water can bring healing, hope and guidance. But we must first dip ourselves into the stream rather than grouse about our troubles on the bank. That is the step of awareness and acceptance - realizing how we got to this place and our part in getting us there. Beaver, with its excellent dam building abilities, represents industriousness. These animals are triggered by the sound of rushing water, an alert that there is a break or hole that needs to be repaired. Beaver suggests effort as our second step: we must swim against the stream of our conditioned patterns and habits. As Paulo Coelho reminds us, “When you repeat a mistake, it is not a mistake anymore: it is a decision.”
Our native azaleas (that come in shades of apricot, pink and white) resemble honeysuckle.
I must have some beaver energy because I cannot stand the sound of running water indoors, though love it outside.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Sun and Moon deck. It makes me think of investing in one.
I remember people calling this the potato people deck when it first came because the faces are without features. I rather like it for that!
