Temperance

In our next episode of tarot cards' description I would like to talk about the card that may provoke some interesting reflections on how well we deal with our inner spirit communication.
Many of us have been presented with a picture of a guardian angel that loves us with infinite and protective love, the one that helps to understand the benevolent part of our subconsciousness - the watchful and caring force in our life. Some of these pictures have been derived from promises of our upbringing that are taken for granted in our childhood, then as we shake our heads in disbelief and leave aside anything that childish and naive.
Temperance is a card that helps us to reconcile with our spiritual judgement and the inner balance that speaks through something larger than ourselves. Be it inner voice, be it an angel, a protective guardian - it may be elevated in our understanding to a trust that can bring fruitful dialogue between what we think we need, what we really need in wider perspective and what helps us to conclude this discourse - seeing what's really available in times when we deem that nothing is given to us yet all is worked for.
The healing of the inner child and its opposite pole - a healer in us that has been hurt is possible through understanding of balance. A balance that is neither resignation or sacrifice but a true understanding of what's helpful.
Like in a dream that is meandering and comes back and back again, only to be fully formed and shaped so we can see all the details of our yearning through the eyes of an experienced, yet with the purity of a child's heart.

Strength XI

In our next episode of Djed taroth blog we will talk about XIth card of Major Arcana which is Strength/ La Force.
We often ask ourselves - where is the strength to make decisions, to make commitments and to look forward to new perspectives in our lives? How much we need to sacrifice to achieve certain goals in life and where does it start? But first and foremost how to embody our own nature in the work of life, the art of life as such?
There is a certain deal of intricate work behind leaving the reigns of our instinct and creative spirit to let them rule our mind. At some point it breaks free through the part of individual's governing centres seeking the way to express itself.
May it be at time when we are bedridden and lacking physical power or feeling a bit uneasy in our erotic life.
You are at the point when great deal of sophistication is taking part in consuming the elements of the fear and inner obstacles that are under the onslaught of your sensations, and sublime impulse to break through towards what seemingly is best for you.
Like waves of the ocean tide we cannot stop the coming change - we can only help it by tuning to it with understanding.
There is an element of force majeure that is in every of us - the Universal force that created us combing both animal ferocity and instinct with something more sublime that makes our body of work - our own creation. This is the time to use it and act!
