Draw for October 11, 2015
The Giants’ Tarot, Raven Kaldera
Today’s Draw: Hyndla, Wise Woman of the Mountains/The Hermit; Ear; Skadi/Justice.
Well, well. Two Major Arcana and the Rune of Death. Change is happening, in case you hadn’t noticed. It doesn’t require your permission; forces beyond your control are at work here.
What you can control is how you navigate these changes. As with all change, you don’t have to like it, but you do have to accept it; fighting it won’t prevent it, and will only make things more difficult. Accept it, move with it, see how you can work with it to land on your feet–or at least not land too hard on your backside. You may be lucky and have a soft landing, but don’t count on it if you don’t bring your own pillow.
Hyndla is telling you in no uncertain terms that you need to stop, right now, and spend real time with your real self. No denial, no delusion. You must be completely honest with yourself about who you are, where you are, and what you want. Skadi will cut right through any facades or attempts to appear as other than your true self. Don’t bother trying to fool either of these Goddesses—they see right through you.
Withdraw from non-essential activities, people, and demands on your time and energy today. Using today to go deep and find clarity for yourself will stand you in good stead as the week progresses and change unfolds. Having your priorities sorted before being confronted with choices allows you to make better choices under pressure.
