Draw for November 23, 2015

The Giants’ Tarot, Raven Kaldera

Today’s Draw: Fenris/The Devil; Wan; Daeg/Knight of Wands.

Starting the week with Fenris was probably not what you planned, but here you are, and here He is. All that stuff, those internal emotional and psychological and spiritual questions and issues and problems that you’ve been putting off to deal with “later”–well, today is “later”. Your stuff, others’ stuff, the world’s stuff–here it is. It’s not pretty, it doesn’t smell good, and a lot of it is probably stuck to your shoes. Deal.With.It. It’s not going away, it’s not going to suddenly become lovely and sweet and manageable. Accept what is, honestly accept it. You don’t have to like it, but you do have to accept it.

Daeg is here to help you do that! The bright light of day illuminating the cave, bringing light to even the darkest corners, so we can see what is there. Small things cast very large shadows. When we can see what actually casts the shadow, we may find that it is not as big and scary as it seemed in the dark. It may still have sharp teeth and a bad attitude, but when we can clearly see what we are dealing with, even if it’s genuinely dreadful, we have more courage because we are dealing with what is real and not what is projected.

Wan is the rune of the unknown, of Ginnungagap, of all possibility. You may not know how to do what needs to be done, but you can learn. Everything you do with ease today was once something that you didn’t know how to do. Even the Gods had to learn how to work with Their powers–it’s okay for you to learn as you go, too.

You may not know exactly what to do, but trust that, by taking action, you will make progress. You don’t need to know everything right now; you don’t need to worry about next week. Take care of today, and then you can take care of tomorrow when it comes.

You will get there, one step at a time.
