A monthly reflection: for alignment, growth, and expansion.
The castle:
the palace, the penthouse the Fortress
From the wild unknowns sacred archetypes deck
It’s no wonder fairytales tell of sleeping princesses within Castle walls. Like most archetypes, the castle is loaded with duality: it represents abundant riches, seductive fantasy, ornate wonders, and lavish adornments, yet the walls are thick, cold, and shadowy.
This card points to a tendency to hold onto possessions (quite possibly a literal home) or position that project the image of achievement, while the soul longs to run barefoot in the forest, leaving it all behind. At times we must “settle down”, yet the castle lulls us with its spell of materialism, and we fall asleep to our deepest dreams.
The castle can be a motivating force, an enchanting goal to travel towards-but it is best not to linger within its walls of decadent deception for too long.
Deeper: notice how castles are designed to keep things out. They defend. They separate. It is likely there is connection and community beyond its walls that will revitalize you.
When light: visiting your throne of power.
When dark: stuckness, depression, spells, walls.
