Draw for November 29, 2015
The Giants’ Tarot, Raven Kaldera
Today’s Draw: Hela/Death, Eihwaz and Isa (they came out of the basket together), Gerda/Page of Coins.
Repeat along with me and the Vicomte de Valmont: It is beyond my control. Unlike the Vicomte, however, the situation we are in is truly beyond our control.
Things Are Happening. You have no control, or even influence, on what is happening. In modern society, we are constantly told that there is always *something* we can do to affect the outcome of a situation. The Universe, however, has other ideas, and the Universe is bigger than we are.
While the Universe is doing its thing, we aren’t meant simply to sit around and wait. We have plenty of work to do. Hela tells us that it’s time for serious housecleaning in both the literal and metaphorical sense. What do you need to get rid of? What no longer serves you in a positive way? What do you need to clear away to make room for your new life? You must release what is dead, or you will kill what is vital in your soul through your refusal to move into life.
Eihwaz and Isa counsel caution and protection. As change swirls around us and within us, strong boundaries are necessary to keep us whole. Trust in your Gods, and tie your ship.
Gerda is the Lady of the Walled Garden, reinforcing the runes’ message of shelter and protection. Growing new things–whether plants or a new way of life–takes time, and the initial growth must be protected from undue influences in order to lead us on a true path.
Take care of yourself, take care of business, and prepare yourself for the next step on the path.
