Here we have the Knave (or Page) of Cups. When I pulled her out, with her fair hair and sweet smile, she reminded me of my friend's daughter, Isis. The little mergirl sits on her lily pad, content, but might be unaware of any dangers that lurk within the depths of the pond. This is due to her age and naivety. Regardless of how old we are, we can all throw ourselves into situations that can potentially hurt us or which test our emotional strength. With this as my card for today, it may suggest emotional weakness, naivety, or a message that tugs at the heart-strings, whether good or bad. I sometimes see the knave as representing someone who's personality holds these features, whether young or old. As I sit here, I can think of a few candidates already.Wednesdays are funny days for me. Probably because I have to think about going over to my boyfriends and have to get myself ready for that. It's like this morning. I had an idea for a workshop a while ago and thought I would make some examples to send to my agency, but I am still sitting here, finding a
nything else I can to do, rather than going off and doing some preparation. Maybe this is the immature side of me, who wants to play and take no responsibility while everyone else is out working. Is something likely to be lurking beneath my lily pad, waiting to launch itself in my direction and bite me on the bum? If there is a chance of my getting that job in the referral centre, then I will need to hit the ground running. Some thinking in advance might be required and I should do that sooner than later, regardless of how nice it is, sitting here in the sunshine, watching the bubbles float by.Manipulated illustration from The Mystic Faerie Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft
You are so much like me. Perhaps it is simply a feeling creative people get? The mundane interferes with creativity so we tend to hole up at home thinking up myriad projects? Then we get uptight because we think we "should" be doing what everyone else does or expects us to do.
ReplyDeleteYou could always cancel your Wednesday visit and hunker down to some art and inspiration.
What a sweet card. She really does look like Isis! Something about the smile and face shape. Maybe she can dress up like a mermaid or fairy for Halloween?
ReplyDeleteHope you find a good balance between relaxation and preparation!
Hugs,
MM
Yes, we are alike, JJ. I am over at the boyfriend's now. I know that if I had stayed home, I wouldn't have done anything. I might pull a few cards. Haven't tried any small readings for a while.
ReplyDeleteThanks MM. Isis has a little fairy costume so maybe that if was what also reminds me of her!
