This week I'll be using the Gill Tarot, created by Elizabeth Gill and published by U.S. Games. The oracle deck I'll be using with it is The Circle, created by D.R. Taylor and published by Versation Publishing. Today's draws are the Five of Swords and Spirit Guides:
Gill explains the four swords at the bottom of the card are "interwoven between the clouds of illusion." What beliefs do I hold that are based on false ideas? Have I held onto expectations that have a snowball's chance in hell of being fulfilled? Persistence can be a positive trait unless evidence proves it fallible. There is however a fifth sword in the card that points upward, away from the clouds - a symbol of clarity. Unfortunately my stubbornness can sometimes necessitate learning through loss. The Circle card suggests that I consult my spirit guides after undergoing such a mental wallop. I would like to believe there are angels or other guides willing to help, but I've lost my faith in such things. However I do often ask myself, "What would ____ do?"
- My cat - find a comfy spot in a shaft of sunlight and take a nap.
- My grandfather (deceased) - go for a walk.
- The sycamore tree - let your roots go deep to seek out what will nourish you.
- My grandmother (deceased) - call up some friends and play some cards.
There's always advice from unexpected resources to be found.
