It Occurs To Me. . .

. . . not for the first time, that the symbolism of the sword -- which implicitly brings to mind conflict, agression, and defense -- may not be the most fruitful mental image to bring to my vocational endeavors, which are far more about intuition, connection, harmony and gratitude. Yes, they also involve insight, intellect, and education, but there's an issue of balance, or at least of "both/and" to be considered.


That image I posted in my last entry, the new Queen of Swords artwork, doesn't look much like a spiritual director, does she? I can see her as a priestess, but someone who sits with others and bears witness to their spiritual yearnings, their quests, and acts as companion and "ranger" on their journeys? No. . . I just don't see it in her. But she still very much expresses part of the person I want to be/come.





Argle/hrmph/grr/hrmph. . . Maybe more. . . Queen of Cups energy. . . is needed?

I keep coming back to this image. . .

Queen of Cups isn't so bad. :)

I happened to draw the Queen of Cups this morning, in the Druidcraft Tarot which I've just started using this week. I felt the impulse to share the image with you, for your contemplation:

She's beautiful!

Now this is a Queen of Cups I can relate to!

Thank you so much for sharing!
