Now for the reveal:
Card 1 - Lady of Life - Some questions to ask yourself: What or who needs support? Where can your greatest gifts and abilities be used best? What is stealing or blocking your vitality? Whose influence shapes your life the most? The Lady of Life bestows the gift of receiving and empowering energy - the ability to enter into the heart of things is yours. She also oversees the time when germinating seeds show their tender shoots, just as seeds of intention begin to grow. Lady of Life encourages us to grasp life's possibilities, and to wonder at, and connect more deeply to, the gift of life. Seek out and understand your own innate animal nature, our instincts serve to guide us and to understand our own sense of connection. The Lady of Life is here to mentor and care for you as you grow and develop whatever gifts that are potentially sown within us. Take time to connect with the animal spirit that walks beside you.
Card 2 - The Lord of Lore - Some questions to ask yourself: What ethical action is needed? What needs renewal, or discontinuation? What fears grip you? What or who needs to move on? The Lord of Lore bestows the gift of renewal. When things look dead, you can bring new life out of the dark. The Lord of Lore is the king of the ancestors, the Celtic Lord of the Underworld. He holds the power of life and death in his hands during Winter Solstice. He grasps dragons in either hand and is not afraid to let things go. The Lord of Lore is here to help you let go of what no longer serves, he helps you to see what is no longer necessary and helps you to cut those ties. Take time to look and see what in your life can be released, be it mental, physical, spiritual or emotional. Remember that in order to welcome new things in, we must first make room to be able to bring them in comfortably.
Card 3 - The Mistress - She comes from the clan of Honour, and is mistress of herself, no one else tells her what to do. She offers the love of May time but is not ready to be anybody's wife. Her wisdom is that her love is the unconditional embrace of lover for the beloved. She asks you these questions: Do you honour yourself and your sacred sexuality? Where is your love invested? Are you being complacent or compliant? What you desire reveals more truth than what is in your mind. Love cannot be coerced. Be aware that the power of your feelings may be blocking the rational responses required, making it difficult to see where you stand. Or perhaps you are in a situation where your views are not being taken into account. Remember that being complacent or compliant won't change things and is not the best option just now.
I hope these resonate, have a beautiful week and see you next time 🐺😊🩶
