[Bodhiseed]

This week I'll be using the self-published Wayfarer Tarot, created by Stacy Salpietro-Babb with Margaret Shipman. I'll also be drawing from A Curious Oracle, self-published and created by Holly DeFount. Today's draws are Strength and Memento Mori:

          I love the fearlessness and childlike wonder shown in this Strength card. I am convinced that when we have this kind of relationship with our instincts, we relate better to the world around us. I must learn to pay attention to the subtle physical clues in my body and the undercurrent in my mind, which is how my 'lion' communicates. Then I will recognize when I'm letting someone cross my boundaries, when I'm taking myself too seriously, or when I've mistakenly assumed I'm entitled to a smooth life with no problems or challenges. If I don't, the raging beast will make itself known so that I can't help but notice what I've been ignoring. The Memento Mori ('remember death') card is a reminder of the impermanence of life, that endings come for all beings. All around me on a daily basis is a reminder that things change, from the turn of the seasons to the gray hairs multiplying on my head. My lion would ask me to pause, notice, and appreciate; to make amends, forgive, and practice gratitude. Without these, grief unleashed can be a harder beast to tame.
