Greetings, again!
In keeping with our Tarot Shadows progress, our little group has grown and developed a spiritual energy of which I feel honored and excited to be a part. Wednesday night we started on the final phase of our journey. We felt the healing energy behind the shadow images of six more shadow cards, viewing the myth of Chiron, the Wounded Healer of Greek mythology, as an example of Tarot’s recovery through symbolism. As we practiced writing and using affirmations to evoke this positive manifestation, the energy in the room became a force that was almost physically evident. By the time we had completed and shared our experiences in Entering a Tarot Card, the spiritual force behind our experiences was no longer to be questioned.
At our next meeting we will complete the 8th and final part of our Tarot Shadows work. We began at Imbolc, the shadowy time of year still in the grips of winter, when the warmth of the sun was a hope yet to be seen. At that time, we reenacted the old Celtic ritual of the candle wreath, adding the energies of the Tarot shadow cards as we invoked the return of light and warmth to bring healing energy behind the shadows. On Wednesday, March 26th, we will again reenact a Celtic ritual, this time welcoming the returning sun, at this time of year when the increased daylight hours bring us greater light and warmth. This returning warmth parallels our celebration of the transformation of the Tarot shadows to the light of healing in our individual lives. Before ending our ritual, we will add the use of pendulum divination to discover which Tarot shadows have been areas of the greatest transformation for each of us since we began this work.
The transformation of shadows, however, is an ongoing task. After completing the ritual, we will discuss the ways we can continually monitor our shadow status. Since some of these shadows will become clear during Tarot readings, we will discuss the steps for the traditional Celtic Cross spread, with a few additions to bring into focus the light behind the shadows. We will then perform one of these Healing Celtic Cross Spreads, including some of the methods for discovery of new shadows and their healing potentials.
Even now, as we plan for the final session of our Tarot Shadows class, new members are welcome. The activity of the shadow forces is dynamic , and intuition, not prior knowledge, is key to understanding it. I hope you will be able to join us.
The spiritual energy that has recently been felt in our group is not something that can be arbitrarily ended. So, even though next week is the final date for the Tarot Shadows class, the group has decided to continue meeting. The details of this continuation are yet to be worked out, but I am happy to say that we will be around for more exploration into the fascinating world of Tarot. Please watch this newsletter for more details to come.
Blessed be!
Kathy
