This week I'll be using the Shadowlands Tarot, created by Monica Bodirsky and published by Red Feather. Paired with it will be Brownie Wisdom, the smaller deck included with The Brownies Oracle created and self-published by Doug Thornsjo. Today's draws are the Five of Wands and "The Sacrifice:"
It's not always rainbows and butterflies. It's compromise that moves us along.
―Maroon 5
The Five of Wands is what happens when several people all have a great idea about how to develop a project or venture: everybody talks at one time and listens to no one. The problem is that folks want to be heard (even those that whisper instead of yell), because it makes us feel respected and connected. Perhaps the Sacrifice the Brownie speaks of is to put aside our ego and listen rather than striving to get our opinion on the table. As writer David Augsburger said: “Being heard is so close to being loved that, for the average person, they are almost indistinguishable.”
