Page of Ghosts

After using the Shadowscapes Tarot for the last week I find it growing on me so I'll stick with it for this week and see if maybe we can hit a breakthrough.

This week I'll be using the Prairie Tarot, created and self-published by Robin Ator. Paired with it will be the Medicine Cards, a deck and book set published by St. Martin's Press and created by David Carson and Jamie Sams. Today's cards are Judgment and Opossum:

...most people do not want to change. They hold fast to their ideas of themselves, to their interpretations of how things are, to their grievances, their anxieties, their identities, and their pain. ~Mark Epstein
 

          In a weedy, overgrown cemetery, an angel waits to see who has heard the call to rise and live their life differently. All is still and quiet. These people do not want to shed their their pain or opinions because they fear being an empty shell with no identity. And so they 'play possum,' pretending not to hear or see the evidence around them as they trudge through life. Yet ignorance (or delusion) is not bliss. As Pema Chodron explains, "When we resist change, it’s called suffering." Come on, angel, play that trumpet just one more time.

 

To become a different kind of person is to experience the world in a different way. When your mind changes, the world changes. And when we respond differently to the world, the world responds differently to us. —David Loy

@Bodhiseed I always learn so much from your readings. Today, your observations on the Judgement card, especially in conjunction with the opossum Medicine Card, really grabbed me. The Prairie Tarot is on of my favorites, and I've looked at that Judgement card many times but never saw that the absence of rising souls could indicate resistance to change. Your message today struck a chord, for sure. Thank you. 🎺🐣

@Madame Squee thank you for your kind words! ❤️ These cards definitely made me pause and consider where I might be refusing to put my opinions aside and see reality for what it is.
