Boomerangs

From the Wheel of Change Tarot, the Empress; from the Oracle of the Dreamtime, Sea Eagle:

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.  —Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Empress is the loving Mother, the joy of abundance offered freely. She represents altruism, the unselfish concern for the well-being of others, distinguished by actions that prioritize other people's needs besides just one's own. It is the glue that connects and binds people together, helping all to survive and thrive. The Dreamtime story of the Sea Eagle tells of a selfish boy who would not share any of the food he caught with his family. He was eventually turned into a sea eagle, a wise guardian of the ocean who taught the people the laws of sustainable hunting. Like a boomerang, our actions can return to bite us, forcing us to change or be miserable. As Krishnamurti stated, "I must see the nature and structure of my relationship with the world – and in the very seeing is the doing."
