Six of Pentacles

We're moving already toward October and our deck for the month, "Your Dream Will Come True," an engraved deck based on the Rider-Waite illustrations and gifted to me by Naomi Bear. And today, after the calamity of The Blasted Oak/The Tower, we have a reminder to be charitable toward others, to equal out the scales, to give freely of that you have to offer, and also to accept help when you need it, too.

This isn't just about money. This is about the proverbial shoulder to lean on and to offer. The support you give and receive. The smile you share and get back. The light in the darkness you see and show.

Matthew 7:7: "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find".

Your Daily Tarot...

The Blasted Oak

Yep, you guessed it. In the Wild Wood Tarot, this card signifies The Tower. And if you've followed me for a goodly amount of time, you KNOW what The Tower means: utter destruction without warning.

I know. 🤷‍♀️

Yet, I feel this so strongly this week. Something big is about to crash to the ground through a cataclysmic storm, a lightening bolt from Olympus or something. We are in a very precarious position--when something sturdy is suddenly...not. When something we thought we knew is something we knew not at all. When all we have believed in is dismantled in a roaring conflagration, leaving just smoldering bones.

There is fear. There is despair. But beneath all that is the hope that in burned acreage, seeds exist and will grow. We must keep the faith that we will survive this. And that in the face of devastation, our true nature will appear as loving, kind, and infinitely helpful humanity.

Queen of Bows, Queen of Vessels, Eight of Arrows, all Reversed

I don't know what happened the last two days. Fugue state? Sleep-walking? Dunno. But here we have three cards to make up for the two days I missed plus today.

I've been off my game. Filled with anxiety. Maybe The Rapture really is happening today--but I don't know why that should bother me. I'm up for a Come to Jesus moment. Unless I'm left behind with all the others idiots, knaves, sinners, and imposters--maybe *that's* where the anxiety is coming from.

ANYway--the upside-down Queens have a particularly serious message for us today: the Hare says you are missing an opportunity because your head is effed up, and the Salmon tells us that you are missing an opportunity because your emotions are effed up.

For all intents and purposes, YOU are effed up right now, in your head and in your heart.

If you were listening effectively to them both, you would know that you have the power to do anything your heart calls you to and your head can dream up. Yet--you are struggling so intensely right now. You are rubbing shoulders with your fears, and you are allowing them to color your world. You are allowing your timid heart and your endlessly chattering head to hold you back, down, and away.

The reversed Eight of Arrows is imploring you--*begging you*--to end this struggle and GO WITH THE FLOW. There is a light out ahead of you--so go toward the dumb little thing, keep your eyes on it, and follow it. Ignore the slimy cave walls of your mind and the frigid abyss of your shivering heart and just GO.

Resolve to GO. Go forward. Do it anyway. Do it because. Do it and end the struggle.

The Guardian

Traditional tarot calls this card Death. Our author, Mark Ryan, of The Wild Wood Tarot tells us, "The human survival instinct was geared for fight or flight, yet we have learned to rationalize our darkest fears and deal with unknown dangers with intellectual insight...no diabolical or supernatural force in the universe is as frightening as the human imagination. If the Guardian (Death) is frightening, it is because we are frightened by our own reflection, our own dark shadow, and it is the element of ourselves we must master."

Change is our everlasting companion through life. This card signals the ending of one thing and the beginning of another. Your ense of trepidation before it depends on how well you've developed your skills in managing the unknown. If you are frozen with fear, take a deeper glance inward to find the place or places of trauma that keep you from moving forward confidently.

Page of Arrows, The Wren

There's something you need to know, and the answer is not from someone's mouth. It is far and deep inside a book. And scholarly pursuit is the only way to find it. You'll need to search and research for the information. It's in pages somewhere--perhaps even lost until now.

The Wren is a magnificent companion for this endeavor. She can fly into tight spaces and ferret out all the details. She will not surrender until she finds what she needs. She is daring and agile, cunning and curious. You'll need these qualities as you wade through information that is not helpful to you to get to what is.
