Draw for November 11, 2015
The Giants’ Tarot, Raven Kaldera
Today’s Draw: Loki, Angrboda & Sigyn/The Lovers; Os; Fenja & Menja/ Two of Coins.
As humans, we often put ourselves into difficult situations because we fall into either/or thinking. Sometimes the situation is truly either/or–you can go only do one thing at a time, so either you are at home watching television or you are out with friends. But you can’t be home and be somewhere else at the same time. (If you can, please teach me how to do that so I can be at work and at home at the same time!)
However, once these limitations are acknowledged, we can look at the situation and see if we can find the both/and possibilities. You can go out with friends for a few hours, and then go home and watch television. You can do both, if you do them sequentially.
Os is the Rune of the God Voice. Listen to your Gods, to your own soul’s divine wisdom. The Gods are good with figuring out the both/and approach. Especially Loki, pictured here with His two wives, Angrboda and Sigyn. The Goddesses could not be more different, and yet Loki finds happiness with both, and works out His both/and with a combination of charm, affection, cleverness, and some really good time management.
Fenja and Menja ground us in the reality of the work needed to accomplish the both/and. We may be acting on advice from the Gods, but we still must take action for anything to actually happen, and to continue working to keep the both/and balanced and viable.
You can do it all, one thing at a time.
