Draw for January 22, 2016
The Giants’ Tarot, Raven Kaldera
Today’s Draw: Sigyn/Temperance; Gebo; The Volva/Four of Swords.
Moderation in all things today; all things. Whatever is preoccupying your thoughts is not something you need to deal with right now. Leave it alone; let it rest.
However, you do have a lot to deal with right now, so focus on those things. Sigyn as Temperance reminds you that you do have the strength, skills, and resources to deal with things. She survived a thousand years in a cave with nothing but a wooden bowl to protect Loki–She really doesn’t want to hear you go on about what you don’t have, or why you can’t accomplish what you need to do. Just don’t go there with Her. She doesn’t expect you to work yourself to death, but She does expect that you will make real effort and push yourself. Growth requires effort, and you need to make that effort today.
Gebo prompts you to think about balance, and take action to create it. Balance is not a static achievement; it shifts from moment to moment, and so you will need to be light on your feet, both physically and mentally, to move with these shifts. Consider carefully what you are choosing to give; are you giving more than is needed, more than is asked for, more than is healthy for you or the recipient? Likewise, consider these questions with what you are being given. A gift is often a blessing, and always a bond. If you can’t accept the bond, don’t accept the gift.
