Draw for October 2, 2015
The Giants’ Tarot, Raven Kaldera
Hela/Death; Cweorth, the Rune of the Funeral Pyre: Groa/Nine of Wands.
As autumn settles upon us in the Northern Hemisphere, today’s draw is all about endings. Not polite transitions, but real and final endings.
Death is implacable and inevitable. Hela isn’t telling you to think about what things might need to go on the funeral pyre; She is telling you that they are already on the pyre, and it is lit. Whatever it is you need to let go of–the compulsive behavior, the self-limiting/self-destructive patterns, the self-deception–whatever it is has reached its end. Watch it burn, watch the ashes float away on the wind. Nothing remains, nothing to hold you, nothing to cling to.
Turn and walk your new path. Groa walks with you, reminding you that you have the skills and knowledge to start what is next, and guiding you to learn the knowledge you need to move forward. Self-doubt is our biggest reason for failure. Groa tells us that we are equal to the road ahead, and inspires us to move forward with our hard-won wisdom.
Wonderful! Works for me.
