Awakening of Self ~ Tarot for 22 Dec 2016

Parcival looks wide-eyed at the Grail cup, his spiritual path clear. The Court cards in the Haindl tarot deck take a different focus, replacing the Queen, King, Knight, and Page with Mother, Father, Daughter, and Son. Parcival represents the Son of Cups. Romantic and chivalrous, the Son of Cups can be both passionate and ruthless. Finding the Grail may suggest an end to his quest, however awareness of his future path seems to indicate his journey may have just begun.

The chalice appears again in The Lovers, the 6th card of the Major Arcana. The woman as Goddess, her earthen hair representing her ancient presence. A card of Gemini, she takes a consort, the two Lovers stand together in synchronicity, their arms reaching behind the golden chalice, their promise to each other true. A crescent moon looks down on a rose, the mystery of love embraced. A merkaba shines forth from the rose as a unicorn also observes the couple, the merkaba representing two souls coming together as one. Lastly, a spear points downward into the chalice, signifying the inherent sexuality of their union as well as the seeds planted for the future.

Although I draw this differently, the rune is apparently the same as Kenaz or Torch from the Elder Futhark, representing light and clarity. It tells us that our union is our natural state, that we are one with each other. It doesn’t give light to this situation, but describes who we really are as a collective Source Presence.

In the 7 of Wands, we see seven spear-like wands pointing upward to the sky. The number for divinity and intuition, each point on the spear is bursting forth with catalytic energy. The rock formations behind denote strength; the water in the distance seems choppy. We have the strength to overcome obstacles in our path. The hexagram represents liberation or survival of the community so what we have with the 7 of Wands is the transformation into awakening of Self.

The separation we experience is an illusion of form. We are forever one in Source Presence. The Fool’s journey is about navigating the waters of form while still remaining aware of his eternal oneness with all. Emerging from Gaia, the spears represent our emerging remembrance in all its catalytic presence. We need only remember who we are to proceed aligned and one with all. The Lovers are meant to illustrate that our natural state is to come together in unity, to reinforce that our reality in form. The catalytic energy felt in the 7 of Wands reminds us that we are more powerful that we remember and it’s time to embrace our truth.

We’re living in the time of ascension where we will finally remember that we’re one with each other. Our forgetting that takes place for most when incarnating will give way to our remembrance, separation and division giving way to unity and love.

Might as well get on board now.

Blessed Be.
