22 Weeks With The Spirit Keeper's Tarot - Week 12

[Flaxen]

More than halfway through the process now and I’m starting to find my own rhythm.

 

Benebell’s approach is very structured which is helpful in some ways but in any ‘non routine’ week it is difficult to follow precisely. My approach is more fluid and I’ve accepted that there are some weeks where I cannot do everything she suggests. 

 

The Bereaved - Stronghold of the Zephyrs - The Memory Keeper - The Shining Dew

Three of these cards are repeated from last week so similar energies are in play.

In some ways, these cards depict what are often ‘seasonal’ feelings and experiences for me. 

 

The Bereaved as the first card, brings grief to the fore. It is the sorrow and heartache of loss. 

The Stronghold of the Zephyrs brings back The Memory Keeper. The sorrow I feel is an echo in time - it is the loop which comes round at this time of year linked with a time of deep grief. Each year the rawness of it lessens but the echo is there. A trauma of remembered pain, held in memory and in the change of the season. The longing for simple pleasures and nostalgia for a time and people long gone and an imagined future with them. 

The Shining Dew reminds me to flow with this, to allow the ebb tide to take me where it will. Creative expression of the energy moving through me is important. 

 

The hexagram is Patience emphasising going with the flow, non-action and waiting for things to resolve naturally.
