Here are your reveals:
50 – Spirit of the River – Movement toward adventure
The Spirit of the River invites you to step into the flow, to stop swimming against or avoiding the current. Allow the waters to carry you downstream, away from the eddies and whirlpools. It’s time to heed the call of a new adventure waiting for you.
Stop working on the problem for a while. The issue is not what it seems; it is your addiction to fixing what has gone bad that is consuming so much of your time. Work to create a greater good, and the bad will resolve itself on its own. There is nothing that you can accomplish with more ‘efforting’, as the situation in your life right now are subject to forces beyond your control. Recognize this, step back, and trust the flow. There is no loss of face or lack of honour or integrity. It is simply the way things are at the moment.
When this card appears, it is time to say yes to the next leg of your journey. Your life is like a river, inevitably and inexorably flowing to the sea, which is your divine destination. Be fearless and release yourself to the rushing water in the middle of the stream. Whatever it is you are holding on to- the feelings, the thoughts, the beliefs about how things are or how they should or could be – can be fixed easily with the power of the Spirit of the River. Simply let go and enjoy the thrill of the tide.
All will be well.
13 – Dream Thief – Refusal of the Call
The Dream Thief is a soft and compelling seductress. Her only purpose is to keep you hypnotized by comfort and sameness. She wants you to tell your old stories over and over so you don’t evolve beyond them. Ask yourself whether you are reverting back to the familiarity of your origin story of why you were wounded or when you were rejected. Do you talk about how your family moulded you as a child without also acknowledging that you’ve already become someone else?
Teaching from an old wound will never allow you a new adventure. Instead, bring to mind how you’ve already changed, remembering that you have new stories to rely and build upon. Do you want to move beyond the barrier of glass you’ve placed between you and the horizon? You can, and it’s not difficult. Answer the call to a new adventure, and drop your resistance to sailing the uncharted seas of your potential. The wind will soothe and sing the Dream Thief to sleep so you can wake up and move forward.
You are much more than you know. Now it’s time to express what has lain dormant. Your new adventure has already begun.
64 – Woodwives / Adaptability
The woodwives dance into your dreams as a reminder to be grounded no matter life offers to you. You need to know who you are, what you’ll tolerate, what you’ve learned to date, and what boundaries to set so you feel good about yourself. Life is going to offer something extraordinary now, and in order to learn and receive in blessings, you must remember that being grounded gives you more freedom, not less.
You have everything you need; you have all it takes to do this now. If you also keep reminding yourself to be flexible, you will be amazed by how well things play out for you. The woodwives are both wisdom keepers and student of the new world, as these forest spiritshave an uncanny ability to adapt to changing circumstances and always find the perfect way to grow and expand. They represent what you already know how to do.
Learn. Be in beginner’s mind. Let go of your rigid notions of how things ‘should’ be, and be present to what is right now, unencumbered by your projections. Is there a storm brewing because things need to change? No worries – nothing can uproot you now, and it will pass, and you will dance with nature and move with it all.
Perhaps you’ve been given an opportunity to take a chance on something new, and you’re not sure how far you can go without losing your footing. Have no fear, for when you remember your roots -your integrity, your authentic self – you can stretch yourself beyond the invisible line you drew. Go for it. You will be so glad you did.
