Draw for December 16, 2015
The Giants’ Tarot, Raven Kaldera
Today’s Draw: Mengloth/Page of Cups; Sol; Groa/Nine of Wands.
Groa appears in the Hidden Influence position, as she did yesterday when paired with Rind, the Page of Swords. Today, Groa appears with Mengloth, the Page of Cups. We shift from thoughts to emotions, continuing under Groa’s wise instruction.
Mengloth is a renowned healer, shown in her work room, creating healing potions. Mengloth encourages us to look at ourselves with kindness, to see where we are hurt, and to make an honest effort–no matter how small–to begin healing ourselves. We cannot care for others if we do not first care for ourselves, and Mengloth gives us both permission and reason to take better care of ourselves, to treat ourselves with the kindness and compassion we usually confer on others.
Sol, the Sun goddess, brings us the light and energy we need for the work. Sol, too, brings us healing and hope, giving us the energy to move on once we are healed.
Groa’s fiery wisdom and deep experience reinforce the message to believe in our abilities, both the ones we have acquired thus far in our lives, and our ability to learn new ways of being and living in order to be more whole and more authentic.
Continue the good work begun with yesterday’s reading, and remember the Buddhist teaching, “If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.”
