Today I did my reading with a brand new deck of cards bought for me by my house mate. The Druidcraft Tarot deck is a wonderful, traditionalist deck with strong themes and powerful images I would recommend it to anyone who uses the imagery of the cards to direct there thoughts.
My cards today were the 8 of swords, The High priest (equivalent to the Hierophant in the Rider-Waite based decks) and The Lady (equivalent to the Empress in R-W like decks)
The 8 of swords: The woman depicted is stood in a field surrounded by a circle of eight swords. She is blindfolded and her arms and wrists are bound behind her back. This card represents the feeling of being completely trapped with no way out. The card agrees that in fact the quarant is trapped, however shows that all situations have escape routes (the gaps between the swords) we just need to open our eyes 'remove' the blindfold and truly see the situation. This card warns that panic can be counter-productive and that only by keeping calm will we succeed.
The High Priest: The stern looking man sits on a thrown of carved wood and buffalo horns. He reaches up in the air with one arm marking the symbol of Satan, a cup and sword lie next to him and the sun sits directly above his head. This card is the card we turn to when we need spiritual guidance. He indicates liking within one's self to find our deep rooted faith and to draw on this to answer our burning questions.
The Lady: The heavily pregnant woman sat upon her thrown, holding a horn of plenty and dipping her toes in the passing stream stands for all things feminine and fertile within the tarot. She stands for enjoying the fruits of the earth, being kind and considerate and forgiving of others.
The message today seems to be driving me toward some deep soul searching. By the looks of it I have lost my moral North and must now find it once more. In the meantime I should remain patient with others and enjoy what is in my life at this present moment.
Blessed be.
