Daily Draw

Finally, a day off; and a rainy one at that! No going out, (okay, a quick trip to the library, and back), just sort of lazing around, dreaming dreams, thinking about what's next, and curling up in a cozy chair and reading. It's IN the cards!

MABON
Daily Draw

THEME: Eight of Swords

My eye is drawn to the rays of the sun coming up from behind the clouds; I am beginning to understand there is a possibility that I am not stuck. If I just move, I will see that I do not have to be, in fact, imprisoned in the clutches of fear, and will be able to work my way out of this rut.

Cruising With Illusion and Delusion

Someone recently suggested that THE MOON often casts shadows to make things appear other than they really are.

Two of Wands

This is different. There is a greater quiet in this Wand card. As with the 2 of Pentacles, this person is dressed in all the clolors, as if all the elements are represented; all take part in the balance.

A young man stands, looking out upon the water from a castle. The sky is peacefully cloudy. He is seen from a semi-profile, his back to the viewer. He holds a wand in his left hand and a second wand is secured to the battlement wall - showing he stands in balance. He hold a globe in his right hand - he is worldly; has the world at his finger tips. He appears very controlled, yet gives a sense of meditating. This is peaceful. Well balanced. Looking outward, forward.

[key] kindness, generosity, intelligent, creative.

Wait and watch.

Balance between stillness and activity = Active Waiting.
