Cards
1. Into the Unknown
Underworld. Depth. Courage. Facing your fears.
Earth is a water planet. Seen from space, it appears blue. Water makes up 71 percent of Earth’s surface, yet we’ve explored less than 20 percent of its ocean floor. There are creatures of the deep that have captivated humans for millennia. It’s no wonder, too, that water has been used as a symbol for our inner, emotional world. There’s always so much for us to discover and uncover within.
Are you being called to face your fears and explore the unknown? To challenge what you thought was possible? This is a card of courage, initiation, and depth. Perhaps you’re being called to make a significant change in your life that you feel scared about. Or maybe what you’re experiencing is more internal than that.
Maybe Life is calling you to venture into the shadowy depths of your own inner journey. To face things that others may be afraid to face. To heal what might feel difficult to heal. To surrender to a metaphorical depth in order to reemerge anew.
In the ancient Sumerian story about the Goddess Inanna’s journey to the underworld to meet her sister, she leaves the comfort of heaven and Earth to descend into the unknown depths. Here she encounters many trials and initiations until she returns, completely changed by her experiences. This story tells us that sometimes, to be born anew, we must face our fears and find the courage to venture into the unknown.
2. The Well Maidens
Kindness. Respect. Reverence. Compassion.
Throughout history, there have been people who have tended to and protected our life‑giving wells. In the lands of what is today the United Kingdom and Europe, many of these sacred wells were named after Goddesses including Brigid, Danu, Solis, and Anu before they were absorbed by Christianity. If you sit at these wells, you may feel the wisdom of these ancient peoples echoing on in these waters, which remain protected.
The Elucidation is an old poem that tells of guardians who fulfilled this holy role across the land, a greedy king and his men violated the well maidens, the guardians of the kingdom’s wells, and took more than they needed. They ignored the sacred contract of respecting the well maidens and the waters of the sacred wells, and as a result, the kingdom became desolate and barren.
The well maidens are the keepers of harmony and balance. They respect the sacred waters, and as a result, they give plenty. They deliver a message about the importance of these qualities in the way we treat ourselves, others, and the nature that sustains and supports us. They remind us to slow down and offer kindness and respect to others, the Earth, and ourselves, each and every day.
3. Cleansing
Releasing the old. Energetic tune‑up. New beginnings.
Water has been deeply associated with both physical and spiritual cleansing since ancient times. We use water to cleanse our day away as we bathe, and many of the world’s faith traditions use water as a means of spiritual purification, from immersion in holy rivers to baptism and ritual baths.
Pilgrims around the world journey to numerous sites for the healing and cleansing qualities of their waters. The water in the grounds of Japan’s Hongu Sengen Taisha, a Shinto shrine at the foot of sacred Mount Fuji, is seen as both deeply holy and self-purifying. Flowing from the melting snow at the volcano mountain’s summit, it forms washing pools that call people to them from near and far.
Many believe that these pools are very mystical and powerful. Local legend says that the depth of the pool waters magically changes according to the size of the person who enters them, adapting to the level of their submergence.
While visiting the healing water sites of the world is an incredible thing to do, we don’t need to travel to experience the healing and cleansing power of water for ourselves. You probably already use water in this way, although perhaps not consciously. As you shower or bathe or as you wash your hands, consider the water, and call on it to support you by washing away what’s coming to an end or is no longer in alignment, leaving space for what you’d like to birth anew.
